SRV Six Strings Down

[gmj2012]

Did you see this tribute DVD? It is an amazing show & definitely worth buying it. I love their family style of playing where they each solo for a minute or two & keep going around the circle. Of course as far as I'm concerned they could keep going forever :) I really LOVE this song, found SRV after he was gone, am grateful there is so much of his work available to me and he'll always have a place in my heart & spirit. :)

[TheBanjo2010]

Love that song

[Wajlonis]

"I've been waiting for you brother, welcome to the band"... With Stevie aboard no heavenly choir sounds the same as before his death...

[kustersmusic]

ANOTHER BLUES STRINGER BACK HOME

[AscensionSEO]

I can't stop the tears...they've been rolling down my cheeks for 21 years now...

[ponygyrrl]

@AscensionSEO  same here

[gmj2012]

8+ minute long live video, BEST song from SRV tribute DVD, this is the song written by Art Neville about Stevie Ray Vaughan's death, here performed by the best blues musicians ALIVE today, from the DVD I just rewatched this again last night so I'd know the song to share with friends today. This is the best DVD, besides Pink Floyd's Pulse, I've ever owned/seen/had.

[bulldoggielover38]

Jimmy , Stevie is smiling down with great admiration.....you carrying on this gift you both were blessed with , your the best brother and show such passion, just love you so much!

[ststephen909]

WOW! you got em all! Dr. John, BB, Bonnie, God, Buddy, Jimmie, Cray, Neville, Tommy Shannon! What a lineup!

[TheBen308]

[electricgirlfriend]

That Bonnie is one sexy Lady'

[filmitukast]

Jimmie is a leg, this is so awesome, he gives it real guts, and its hard work i think and it shows, a complex guitar part beautifically crafted to rise above the other amazing players, yet he is at the front runnin the gig and diggin it. My kids even love this one, and try and listen to his album Strange Pleasure - you will not be disappointed, Jimmie u is da man !!!!!!!! love andie t

[momsdolly05]

The only Blues welcome in heaven, Stevies Blues<3

[electricgirlfriend]

The Question?????Why....because we will allway's kick ASS when we can/

[legatotechniques]

[chevrolet3370]

@QueenToKingOfSpades the bassplayer plays on the bass that Johnny winter lent to Jimi Hendrix in the 60'. Bob margolin told me that. If you search in the web: Jimi Hendrix and Johnny winter, you can find it. PS: I'm French and I'm 14 years old. Sorry;s

[TheEmilio16]

@chevrolet3370 No problem. I wish my French was as good as your English, and I'm 41 years old. Also, it's good to know that a person your age is listening to this music.

[TheMahagoni]

@snoogans875 what?

[RecklessTruth]

RIP SRV WE LOVE YOU!!!!

[chevrolet3370]

And i Wang to know what is the music who Stevie play???

[chevrolet3370]

The bass player plays on bass whom Johnny winter to lend for a jam has Jimi Hendrix in the sixties '!!! It is Bob Margolin who my said this ... Sorry my english is not terrible:s

[QueenToKingOfSpades]

@chevrolet3370 What? That made no sense at all.

[BRENTCOMO]

Just as Stevie would have it no other way..PLAY ON MY BROTHER See you all again someday!

[alliework]

Aaron has three brothers Art,Cyril and Charles.

[LADYJASPER2001]

@snoogans875 gives me goosebumps

[Arcangl1833]

Wow at least 5 guitar legends up there. 6 if the woman is who I think she is.

[CaynTheHeretic]

@Arcangl1833 bb king, buddy guy, jimmie vaughan, bonnie raitt, eric clapton, robert cray with dr john and art neville...oh and let's not forget Double Trouble :)

[aim2dabone]

@Arcangl1833 Indeed, that is Bonnie Raitt.



[SUNMAYDEN518]

[SUNMAYDEN518]

he sure was

[killergames187]

RIP SRV WE LOVE YOU!!!

[reddeb287]

I saw Jimmie do this song live too, and it brought tears to many eyes. I loved Stevie and always will. It must be hard for Jimmie to have kept on.

And speaking of heartbreaking songs, check out Angela Strehli's SRV from her Blue Highway album.

[WorshipButCantPlay]

wonderful! brought a tear to me eye

SRV is my fav guitarist ... mbbe he wasnt quite a virtuoso like Malmsteen or Vai, but he had the most wonderful .... musical sensibility I suppose .... of any guitarist Ive ever herd

[diann46]

You can see the Heart Break in Jimmie R.I.P. SWEET ANGEL SRV ♥♥♥♥♥

[thebluesrockers]

it's funny how they keep laughing at Jimmie. I would love to know the inside joke...

[michiganriverman]

I LOVE this song!!!!!!!!!! When Jimmie sang the line about "voodoo chile" wecoming him to heaven, I got serious goose bumps! It's wonderful to see and hear so many giants of the blues paying Stevie tribute. RIP Stevie! I'm positive you're rockin' Heaven in the best band ever!

maxsturner100: Anyone who could dislike this song was born without a soul!!

[maxstunner100]

which 3 people dislike this???!

[ontariobuds]

that guy is playing 2 tambourines at once!

[SuperUltraHyperMega]

Wow its so nice to see all these greats playing together...using their own styles and complimenting each other so nicely!

[komine866]

WOW what a tribute to have that ensemble playing for you.

[killergames187]

This song make my cry.Love you SRV!!!

[bbouch111]

Seeing him Wednesday night!

[Ricki957]

Isn't it amazing ..and erie..Jimmie has the same mannerisms and the almost duplicate voice of Stevie..just saw him in concert in Roanoke Va..wow made the hair stand on the back of my neck to listen to him......Love both of the brothers..rock on Jimmie!..don't join the band too soon my friend! Long live Texas blues! and you will never be forgotten Stevie Ray..the love you passed on to the world....God bless

[Gubby007]

My brains are all over the living room floor now.. ohwell, it was worth it.

[idstarman23]

[AscensionSEO]

Rock-n-Roll Heaven man...what a great line-up

[ADAP7IVE]

@AscensionSEO Yeah. A fitting tribute.

[AscensionSEO]

@ADAP7IVE

nah man...I meant what a line up in Rock-n-Roll Heaven.

However, on this Earthly plane, the line-up in this video may be this best possible line-up there could have been

[1959child]

R I P S R V....

[milla7391]

What a tibute to a great man...We are mourning you today Stevie play on bro.

[arprtr]

20 years rip SRV

[edbigtruck]

@snoogans875 Don't gorget the tamboreens

[guitarfreakRSS]

I wish stevie was still around he is a huge inspiration for me and I am only 15 its makes me mad that god would take someone as good as stevie was pure in his heart soul and playing. And another thing on august 26th in honoring of stevie I say we put as many covers as we can of stevie ray vaughn respond to this comment if you agree with me.

[AshburnFilmWorks]

@guitarfreakRSS

I've already contacted my local rock station and they are now going to have a Stevie Ray Vaughan segment as a tribute to him on Aug 27th.

[ADAP7IVE]

@guitarfreakRSS With you.

[polksalat]

Stevie Ray Vaughan You're great,

And Jimmie Vaughan You're a great brother

SRV R.I.P.

Another Guitarist go's to heaven

[elslappo]

@snoogans875  THAT is FUNNY !

[clongprong]

I'd never seen this till just now and gottdammitt it brought tears to my eyes. What a terriffic ensemble of the finest blues pickers in the world contributing their own individual and distinct talents to create this heavenly guitar/vocal chorus in tribute to the best guitarist who ever lived. RIP SRV.

[guitarfreakRSS]

@clongprong It did for me too things like this always do I am kind of a softie I may not admit most of the time but its the truth.

[clongprong]

@guitarfreakRSS Maybe the younger generation isn't so bad after all. I can already tell you're a good kid. Keep music in your soul and ALWAYS remember that you care about people. God bless you and your's, kid!

[AshburnFilmWorks]

@clongprong

I've said it a million times: look at the comments on ANY videos about rock and blues music.... you'll find people of all ages saying that "today's music sucks" and younger people saying "i dont identify with today's music". There's millions of people saying it. Eventually something has to break.

The garbage they are pumping out today doesn't hold a candle to rock, grunge, blues or jazz, and plenty of young people know it.

[diann46]

GOD BLESS R.I.P. ANGEL ♥ What a horrible loose we miss you ♥

[123miller69]

Love how Jimmie looks to the sky on the line "i've been waiting on ya brother".

Great song, great performance and an awesome group of "stringers" on stage,, none no "better" than the other.

[ripleypame]

SRV was the greatest guitar player, All on that stage were great in the own rights... remember Stevie loved them all.... Probably goes without saying , Jimmy the most.

[mgfunk84]

is that all you have to say, leavittobeaver? seriously? is that all you can see here? cos if it is, you have no soul, simple as

[AliceMarr]

Stevie would think of no greater tribute I believe. He was such a sweet humble guy despite the amazing talent.  I think his brother and "the legends" here would be an amazing tribute in his mind.

[QueenToKingOfSpades]

The funny thing is that Stevie's skills by far surpassed all those guys in the video. Yes even Clapton and BB King.

[susiecue64]

the best guitar players in the world right here.r.i.p. stevie we miss you

[kelvisparsley64]

As Jimmie Vaughan stated in the interview, Neville sang on the demo recording. And the beginning/outro song IS Life By The Drop. P.S. For the don't already knows: SRV died in an absolutely foolish helicopter accident at Alpine Valley, Wisconsin.

[scorekalen]

whats the name of the first song SRV is singing?

[JaroWKR]

Life by the drop

[bon101369]

joshwelljonesfirst............­.....um in a Helicoptor?????? PLEASE RESPECT no spam

[MARCOPOSEY]

wow

[megajames3000]

so the demo had stevie singing on it?

[icketypickety]

thank you so much for posting

[LittlewingKD]

God bless his heart , don't ya know it was hard for him to sing that song without cracking, and choking up.

[AliceMarr]

See the Voodoo Child holding out his hand

"been waitin' on you Brother, welcome to the band"......is there anything else than can be said? And to have Jimmie sing it? MY GOD. Stevie I know would be so damn excited and proud......

[redsonya11111]

Man I love this .Thank'si am going to try and play my washboard to it.Thank's

[redsonya11111]

Lot of Great's here.

[lavoy323]

that would be Art Neville on the Hammond B3

[collipower101]

What is the acoustic song at the start?? its awsome

[chrispodboy]

Life by the Drop, a song by stevie

[GuitarLengends456]

living life by the drop

[Amethystmountain]

I love this video so much, and miss stevie...Jimmies in my prayers.Thank you for the music in our lives.

[rikischy27]

R.I.P. Stevie you were one of the greates. We will never forget you.

[garlandcmoney]

@RaquzaRage- Seen BB a few times, always dressed understated and plain, not flashy. He lets his music represent itself.

@mikeyaaa - I doubt Bonnie would like being thrown in with 'the other men'. She out-sings the men, but is not one herself.

[buenosaires4u]

Playing the legendary Hammond B3 organ:

Dr. John

[tjbigdog64]

This one certainly brings tears to the eyes of this ol SRV fan. R.I.P. You are certainly missed and keep givin them angels a hard time my brother! ;)

[mikeyaaa]

You can hear Bonnie's voice over all the other men.

I love it.

[shinigami285]

beautiful post man, thank you

[LauraAlex2110]

only the good die young!!!!!!!! he wasn't just good he was the best EVER

[cowtownblues]

You can see Jimmie holding back the tears. I bet it hard to do for him. I saw Jimmie live do this song, the same facial reactions. You can tell he loved his brother. God bless the Vaughan Family.

[dsvogel420]

RIP Stevie!

[RaquzaRage]

lol BB king (i think) looks like they photoshoped him in from a black and white vid

[videomantoo]

A fantastic tribute to SRV. The once and only time I saw him was in Germany at an amazing concert at the Loreley way back in the 70's. I'll never forget it, he was incredible - we'll always remember you Stevie ...

[cgps84]

qual o nome da musica que toca bem no começo desse video?

[trhnpc]

Can anyone please tell me what is the name of that woman playing with them?

I have seen here before but I don't know her name.

thanks...

[marduk111]

she is bonnie rait, she was a guitar student and great friend to buddy guy

she plays a mean slide

[trhnpc]

thanks a lot!

[marduk111]

no problem

[deFunkyMofo]

I think they call this 'cooking';.

yea jimmy laying it down, clapton playing back-up (not only one of the best lead players but also one of the finest rhythm players) and you gotta love Bonnie!

great lyrics and heartfelt sentiment for a much-loved, much missed artist.

[2pactoliveanddieinla]

[rockinbruce]

One of the best blues songs I've ever heard! And Jimmie Vaughn was layin' it down in this performance!

[Neverdii]

[secretgoldphish]

[EPITHEORISIS]

1000********** from greece

[MrClamjuice]

I was blessed. I saw Stevie play several times.  Once with Eric Clapton at the Palace of Auburn hills, Once with Jeff Beck at Cobo Arena/hall and once as the Headliner at a place called Club Eastbrook in Grand Rapids Michigan, about a 2,500 seat Theatre.

[Foortz]

[bluedaddy23]

[RhythmAndSoul59]

Johnny Ray, you're one fortunate man to of been friends with such an iconic guitarist and blues singer

[tctinpanalley]

this song made me cry like a baby!! It is so damn beautiful!! I love Jimmie Vaughan he is so sweet!! I am trying to get everyone who was on the stage that night to autograph me(and have the sigs tattooed) as part of my SRV memorial. So far I have Jimmies, B.B. Kings and Double Troubles sigs!! May the music live forever!

[gnvair]

I'n order to really sing the blues you must LIVE the blues.

[skooterjohn]

It's comin up on 19 years since we left us

I've watched this many times.. and

I can't imagine how hard it was for Jimmy and all the rest of the cast to do this show.

Have to admire them for it.

Stevie if your watchin, we love ya man, you will never die !

[DannyRana]

Miss SRV

[AnonymousMasked01]

whats the name of the song in the beginning?

[bananatime]

Life By The Drop-SRV of course.

[mrheavywall]

Art wrote a great song , Jimmy and the all stars Captured the great emotion of his lyrics not to forget to mention the emotion from the instruments too. Blues at its best!

[purpledude603]

This gives me the chills. I miss S.R.V. more than ever. There never be another one like him, done broke the mold. R.I.P my man

[mlipscomb94]

Eric Clapton, Bonnie Rait, BB King, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, Jimmie Vaughan, Tommy Shannon on one stage! If Stevie was there this would be heaven! So much soul on one stage! Its mind blowing!!

[kapitol2c]

what a great tribute the the best blues-rock song writer and musician ever lived.

[slantyrock]

"fly on my friend" ooooooff,pun unintended i suppose

[daslatrobe]

The only other idol of SRV not on stage is Jimi. Imagine the music those two are hitting in another place!

[bluespower1985]

Albert King and Albert Collins where bigger influences than anyone on that stage

[promatic2008]

The talent on that stage is mind boggling. I love the guy in the overalls. Straight off the farm with his blues gee-tar...lol. I wonder what the talentless hacks like, oh I don't know, 90% of today's rap stars think about this group of artists.

[bonobo9999]

The Guy in the overalls is Buddy Guy.

[fuckersforgotboudre]

dis is beautifiul wats d song srv is playin at the start

[scrad45]

Life By The Drop

[treasuresrv]

Fabulous tribute to such a talented man. The talent on this stage is heard in every note. Miss you Stevie.

[anz2161]

Don't forget Art Neville and Dr. John's contribution to this great song.

[Zebatar]

What a great tribute! I love me some SRV.

So many times I've heard this song, never seen the vid till now. Thank you elslappo for this excellent post!

~Johnny~

[jlaprise]

SRV, we miss you :(.........

[Steadyfreddyboy]

I´ve never heard 6 (!) excellent individual guitar players playing together that well before. Bonnie Raitt, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, B.B. King, E.C. and Jimmy Vaughan. This is the ultimate 36-string-power. Awesome!

[imtommcalpine]

These guys all play together again except Bonnie on EC's crossroads (guitar festival) concert. If you haven't seen it, you will be thrilled. I have worn my DVD out. LOL

[lespaulloon]

it does get better than this but the two people that could make it better sadly arent with us anymore. let you work out who they are for urself.

[JaroWKR]
