@joskyify 1985 Montreux Jazz Festival headlining the blues night.. One of the best live SRV performances i've ever seen



[joskyify]

what year was this?

[scoflo]

The greatest performance of the greatest song by the greatest artist of all time. I'd have given anything to be in that audience.

[ikonxp]

Being under the stage lights in a sleeveless tshirt and pants is hot enough. Wonder how SRV never had a heatstroke. Wicked son of a bitch he was, may god bless his soul.

[Flatted357]

whats funny about this is Copeland renders a great ad-libbed vocal on his first attempt,--but on his second attempt, he finds no words to sing, and plays a few licks and backs away--Stevie laughs and shakes his finger at him as if to say, Ha!! that's what you get for not planning your lyrics. SRV was probably the best live guitar slinger ever!! Never at a loss for words or licks.

[Damuluv]

no one can finger fuck a guitar better than SRV

[SpeedyRoadRunner55]

Oh yeah......I could never listen to this song too many times. There are not too many good memories of life...but this song makes me think of a few, oh-so-good ones;-) 

[YungMrMagic]

Stevie Ray's birth certificate should have just said BAD MOTHA FUCKA on it. nothing else needed

[jasonnexsishughes5]

I own this dvd i still am in awe every time watch this amazing!!!!!

[patrickmichael42]

masterful

[nydukeman]

A masters lesson by Johnny Copeland on how to sing the blues!!

[nfsfreelancer]

totaly sex music !

[Sprawl1GuitarMan]

I seriously don't know why anyone would "dislike" this video. SRV was great. Copeland was also great. This particular night brought out the best in both.

I've always said, you can express yourself & how you feel with a simple guitar lick. No words need to spoken.

[Drpepper687]

Part of the reason why the European crowd at Montreax in 1982 booed him, was simply because he wore a cowboy hat. So, when he returned in 1985, he thought it would be funny to dress as wild as possible to piss them off. But they didn't boo this time, because they knew they were witnessing a legend...

By the way, look at that soulful passion. This is REAL music! Unlike Lady Gaga, the rappers and Justin Beiber.

[HvyWeight]

@Drpepper687 Yeah, it was actually Jazz night with mostly accoustics and the crowd didn't understand what they were hearing/seeing.. SRV is one I could listen to all day and not get tired of it. Life Without You from the Grand Caravan tour is awesome, nearly prophetic. "Real" music is a lost art. This junk today isn't talent, just a fad. Fads pass away while real musicians leave legacies. I've been in Mississippi my whole life and he WAS blues, but so versatile in songs like Riviera Paradise.

[vikngwill]

Such mind-numbing sweetness...the Maestro...& to have Johnny W/him on stage..."tears" The perfection of these two trading licks...I can hardly breathe...

[vikngwill]

Such mind-numbing sweetness...the Maestro...

[BloozeDaddy76]

2:52 to 3:57 of this clip is a textbook lesson on how to SING the blues. Johnny Copeland pours everything he has into this one verse. This is soulful blues of the highest calibre.

[mspoohbear42]

stevie ray is one of the best guitarist out there but the lord has took him home but if u just listen to this song thats ridin music.u will never get tire of hearin it god rest his soul.

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

@mspoohbear42 yes, rest in peace Stevie Ray, but your music lives on in me, every time i play at a blues jam i perform Texas Flood or Sky is Crying in your memory, except i play the blues harmonica instead of guitar

[animatedchaos]

Stevie Ray Vaughan is the number 1 guitarist of all time! Hes the reason I got into playing guitar!!! Love those blues boxes riffs!

[david2feitosa]

the number oneee !!!!

[willk1980]

I'll need to remember to have more spare underpants next time...

[2003yasha]

Merci pour tout! Juste exceptionnel... J'ai eu la chance de le voir live à Dallas en 1990 au "coca-cola starplex" blues festival! encore une fois exceptionel!

[bigox91]

Man I cannot get enuff of listening to this song!!! How can any1 say they don't just luv this song?!

[rjvos59]

this is when music and emotion comes together,if you don't love this you got no love for music and no emotion!

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

@rjvos59 stevie always sang and played from the heart, as do all bluesmen, and i am keeping the blues alive here in Wisconsin, transplanted from Chicago.

[6x21]

4:15 HA-HA! :D

[YungMrMagic]

shit thumbs up for stevie ray's snake bracelet(watch for it in the beginning) and the hat

[DrumminGuitar]

Dam two great guitarists here

Listen up kids maybe you'll learn what is meant by feeling the music, this song slices deep into the soul!

Lets see any fag ass rap or hip hop song stir up as many chills as this song...

didn't think so!

[1982Swagger]

Little known fact Stevies second job was being a pimp , I mean just look at him , I know a pimp when I see one.

[zibinetcom]

I love how they're enjoying each other's work on stage, true musicians, heart and soul

[scoflo]

How can ANYONE give this a thumbs down? It's not even subject to opinion, this is one of the greatest live performances in any era, any genre - FACT.  Even if you don't like blues, you have to be able to recognise genius when you see it for God's sake! SRV was just mindblowing.

[tobbywolves]

please disable the thumbs down option, this is kick ass R.I.P. stevie you are truly missed

[yaronalt]

SRV is my greatest inspiration to play the guitar , too bad inspiration isn't enough though ...

[guitarslinger75]

what are 7 deaf people doing watching this?

[huichol53]

Stevie Ray was one of the best guitarist's ever! i have all his albums, and god only knows how much I love and miss him...huichol53.......

[NickloasPalade]

I can't describe how much this man and his music means to me.

[QuagmireOwnedYou]

i usually dont do this type of comments but this i had to do, THUMBS UP if SRV is your inspiration to play guitar

[xXxStrangleHoldxXx]

@QuagmireOwnedYou  You got that right..One of Many,but ranks hiiiiigh on the list !!! Awesome jamm !!!

[TexasJamesC]

@QuagmireOwnedYou him and many others!

[dunnterry1]

best version tin pan ally , one of the best blues songs in the world

[FabroGuitar]

7 people got raped in tin pan alley.

[AAA1969]

@FabroGuitar an they are still there !!!! Thumbs up for SRV

[TurboFox]

@FabroGuitar I got raped in Tin Pan Alley and still voted up =\

[DaveHSVGTS]

@TurboFox hahahaha

[DreamfallenOne]

@FabroGuitar haha, you got 7 thumbs up, those same 7 people are telling you that you're right :P

[sewallm60]

@FabroGuitar so what

[saynotostupid]

Can you say chill bumps, tears, and soul? I have never witnessed more heart and dedication to the art of Blues than these men just displayed here...

[Jbnixa]

Bad. Ass.

[CoachG1000]

Add up the 1st time you had sex, 1st time you lost a love, a loved one, your 1st promotion, 1st time you got fired, 1st time you got high, 1st time you got caught, that one time you escaped death beacause you drank too much and decided to drive,......1st time you kicked someone's ass........this is it's fight song

[glane010]

7 dislikes.....how can that be. SRV is second only to Jimi

[mcnutt5521able]

jizzzzzzzz

[nosb0987]

What a shame SRV isn't still with us.... what a phenomenal player. More feeling and passion than most players. "Couldn't Stand the Weather" is an all-time blues classic!

[MyYummycookie]

COOL Bracelet there Stevie>: )

[420freebird]

i could watch this a million times and never get sick of it. this is fucking amaaaaaazing. turns me on.

[streetglide7697]

some badass music

[amblerint]

I just had an eargasm

[420freebird]

@amblerint fucking rights. i feel ya

[martlgr]

I think the lick he plays before the song starts must have scared the shit out of Johnny Copeland!

[fattirevsbud]

@martlgr lol yeah a bit maybe he actually asks him what key it's in then SRV I think tell him it's in Bm

[35150Alabama]

@martlgr He wasn't scared. He had just what it takes to stand up there next to Stevie Ray. It's a joy to see SRV smile as he watches this cat.

[futbllwmn]

20 years gone..... miss you SRV.

[facufacal]

SRV fue un groso... las comparaciones con otros monstruos son para salames.... y aunque soy bastante diplomatico como puede haber 7 zapatos que no banquen este video que se parte...

[TravisBickle92]

Thank you Mister Stevie Ray...

[YungMrMagic]

man that lick in Stevie did in the beginning was a MOTHA FUCKA

[ChArLeSiSaSoMwE5]

love it

[rsisler804]

[boydf80]

[lonestar7703]

THANK YOU!! Stevie Ray

[asdqwe7438]

when copeland sings i get goosebumps everytime

[KevinDC5]

MR. JOHNNY COPELAND EVERYBODY!!!!

Thats what makes this performance great, because SRV never thought he was great...HE WAS REAL AND THAT MADE HIM GREAT!!! And thats why SRV had guys like Copeland on stage because they were REAL!!! TEXAS BABY!

[Avanskance]

@KevinDC5

Well said!

[BluesThor]

7 people dosen't have speakers on their computers.. too bad cause i'm lovin' this so much!!

[Avanskance]

Superb performance by two giants of the blues!

[whitestripebuzz]

How badass does Stevie look with that beard! Doesn't sound half bad either ;)

[shunj808]

speachless.

[ROE5007]

musicians are a dime a dozen....entertainers are BORN!!!

[TheMNicole]

[kingagron1]

[Gosk92]

This song makes me jizz my pants :D

[robdorg]

@Gosk92

this sound is the auditory manifestation of jizzing ones pants.

[Gosk92]

@robdorg Yeah I know right xD

[LazyRockers]

4:14 best laugh ever

[Almak47]

[Fr3derick]

Grandma mary

[Demonmet]

The Tokyo performance is better I think. But Copeland is in this one...

[alotbetterthanyou]

[k9feldr]

there's nothing, no one who can compare today. unbelievable...

[takkcertu]

Lovely...

[Deathclutch2006]

20 yrs ago we lost one of the greatest guitar players alive. Stevie Ray Vaughan. He was one bad ass motherfucker with that guitar. Fuck Lady Gaga, Justin Bitcher and all the rest of this pop bullshit music nowdays. why dont we get stevie ray vaughan back and we can give up justin bitcher for him. What happened to good music that isnt bullshit? Keep Rock Alive!!! I hope SRV is up in heaven right now jamming with Jimi Hendrix and Johnny Copeland having a damn good time.

[Apopholis]

@Deathclutch2006

You do realise that by mentioning Justin Bieber you're just giving him even more publicity? Don't even mention or think of him, just sit back and enjoy the music.

[biggcarl1968]

@Deathclutch2006 right on

[charlotte946]

@Deathclutch2006 can nothing but agree, can you tell me when stevie ray v. passed away, wonder

[Deathclutch2006]

@charlotte946 it was on September 2nd 20 yrs ago.  hope that helps.

[johnmckenna80]

That guitar's playing him.

[srvaughan121]

i keep coming back to this video for the last 1:15. that shit just drives me up the wall.

[robkevbankson]

If you watch the documentary dvd,both Chris Layton(drummer) & Tommy Shannon(bassist) said it was the earlier 2 yrs that they were booed at the Montreux Jazz Festival& it basically because It was an acoustic night and they had amps miked up and loud.

[alfadenis]

nnnniiiiiiiiiice

[cyborg006]

this guitar sounds really nice

[thtsritesun1212]

if only i couldve seen him do this live...

[08sonny89]

Some of the best drinking music came from the legend that is Stevie Ray Vaughan

[MsKoKo151]

@08sonny89 I know right haha I always said that.

[urbansavage84]

If you haven't seen the show that was in the same stage about a year before when SRV was starting to tour over in Europe they booed him off stage after like 7 songs.. I think less than that because they weren't use to his take on the blues and how he played. This time when he came back in the beginning they were ready to kiss his feet! Recognize the great playing skills and songs!

[sirswift23]

@urbansavage84 Actually, It was more like 3 years before, a different stage, and the inaugural blues segment at Montreux. Unfortunately for Stevie - blues was not widely received as part of the jazz fest, until it featured more well known bands and was accepted alongside the more prominent Swiss jazz scene! Incidentally, SRV met Bowie and Jackson Brown as a result of this show which seemingly propelled his career. He would also win a grammy for his 1982 show! Go figure...

[hawaiidoves]

That was amazing! So electrifying...

[wrightclover]

ive always concentrated on his ability to play the guitar like no other but listening to this, his voice blows me away...this kids, is the definition on a real rockstar!! there will never be another stevie, but thank god we got to at least hear his great music or should i say, his story..

[rolyat60003]

Stevie is a legend but watch Johnny's solo. It takes it to another dimension!

[hawaiidoves]

@rolyat60003 I'm sorry, who is that black guy? 

[rolyat60003]

@hawaiidoves Johnny Copeland

[hawaiidoves]

@rolyat60003 Thank you very much...

[mimoskio]

grande



[dawgman1967]

Now that's some blues for the mood.......play it brotha's !!!!!

[TouchdownTexas]

Sick, on so many levels. Pure love...pure blues. Just shut the hell up and feel it. I miss you SRV. I hope you found a nice corner table upstairs, I truly do.

[SquidSpankerz]

6:57-7:57 Some fancy ass guitar slinging..

[Eisenmond]

It is time for Guitar Rock to come back! Enough Boy Band, beiber, etc... Let's bring back some REAL Bluesie Guitar Rock and just enjoy life together... Mellllooooow!

[jackhessell]

johnny copeland is the blues what a amazing video. Play it SRV

[wasdman2]

There are 5 soulless people in this world. Oh how I pity them.

[Goldenboyoro]

Better than his preformance in Japan !!!!!!!

[Kirkbride1717]

JOHNNY'S TONE is out of this world eh!!

[SRV4evr]

No does TPA like Stevie. No one. Period. The blues just ooze out of every pore. It's an amazing sight to behold. And Mr. Johnny Copeland - absolutely killer!!!!

[stbouyuklieva]

It's the blues!

[yancy808]

That's real son. Fu%^&*$N real son

[Jez1080]

Bluesmenbon !!!

[prech85]

[actionblues]

SRV. He's the best.

[owhite3003]

I listen to this song and it gives me chills, I couldn't imagine being there listening to this live, must have been insane. The best that there ever was

[catfishthecrown]

it's the blues .. it is

amazing guitars thanks

[oranjebelg]

No wonder he's still my nr1 idol........SIMPLY THE BEST !!!

[bananachuck124]

i wish i could make sweet sweet love to this music.

[srl1215]

it doesn't get better, it just doesn't.

[mikemll]

this is some of the baddest blues i think i ever heard

[srewcy]

this is a real as it gets.

[TheJwalker23]

wish i was alive to witness srv live!

[Hammerhead2905]

You've blessed this world with your blues, Stevie Ray. May God bless you wherever you are. Thanks.

[mikeandsophia08]

The best blues performance ever!Makes me wanna shoot dice and stab someone LOL!!

[Arenakan]

6:54-8:00= godsexmagic

[Ozgenify]

just too awesome to be true.

[mimichou53]

on ne peut pas rester indifferent a tant de beauté ,le pied

[izable]

RIP my FRIEND. Still the Greatest in my book.

[NorthernComfort]

@izable And mine

[twoking10]

It's the improvisation in these that gets me. Like... the move SRV does from 5.00 to 5.07. That's what is so cool about these 12 bar blues pieces. They could do it 10,000 times and it would never come out exactly the same way twice. Like painting a picture, and just doing it with the crowd and just on "feel." A great blues player lets the crowd plays a part with the artist regarding what the picture is going to look like. What does the artist feel the crowd is anticipating?

[nefsjud]

Copeland is on fire!!!

[mamukaSRV]

fantastic !!!

[designermite]

Very nice indeed.

[rohw0016]

one of my favorite guitar intros by stevie.. cant tell you how many times ive listened to this..

[DogTracksCD]

Pure passion is what makes SRV's technique. He had such incredible range of dynamics. Thousands of guitar players can play the riffs note for note, but few have the passion.

[TheMrAlwaysRight]

@DogTracksCD or rhythm

[leolevesque]

cant stop listening to this song.. amazing, i wish i could play guitar like stevie and sing like copeland

[Klausspeedworks]

It is hard to beat this Texas boy.

[skippy3840]

Amazing how he just rips off those rifs like nothing. You can only imagine what he would be doing and playing today if he was still around.

[colorblindheartful]

copelands voice amazing

[BadBrad305]

WOW! Are ya serious? it really cant get much better

[ceeblu]

OMG!!! Thank you for posting!

[InflatableMouse]

Lump in throat.

[whosnext1234567]

i love the almost tin can rattle of stevies guitar i have to get me some dano pickups

[RIPpimpchad806]

B-E-A utiful

[wisesatyr72]

this song is kinda spooky and mysterious..Stevie's guitar tone is numero uno in this vid

[rotaryturb0]

just incredible.

[fatrat600284]

Holy shit @ 6:58 that's good.

[lstop1day9243]

God, the blues is so wonderful, emotion shit...

[smartalek1]

DAAAAAMMMMMMN....

[SWDavis0104]

The blues... goddamn...

[kensmash]

Johnny Copeland's verse gave me chills. SRV is a freakin badass.

[zapista21]

exactly man when he starts singing my skin crawls its just incredible

[chrisnouvelle41]

what year was this?

[twinturbo95mr2]

@chrisnouvelle41 1985

[KevoBlues88]

Who's the black guy? He's great too.
