i saw Bowie in Brisbane Australia in 1983. I remember expecting to see Stevie playing and being dissapointed that he wasn't on stage. I had been listening to texas flood for months. Anyways I ended up seeing Stevie in 84 and 86 when they toured. '86 was exceptional as it featured the Fabulous Thunderbirds, which I had been lsitening to since about 1981. didn't even connect that Jimmy Vaughn and Stevie wee brothers till years later. Bowie concert was kinda crap..
maybe its just me.... but for all Stevies bluesy greatness...his style just doesnt work with much of Bowies material. Perhaps the 2 realized this in their own way and parted company for the better interests of both.
@bgreen1995 When I saw a reply I was prepared to find a viscous defense of Bowie and instead found "damn right". Love it. I know Bowie occupies a place in rock but I consider him one of those RS magazine snob favorites while Stevie Ray was raw soulful talent on display.
@marcusdolby1 it's just my opinion but I don't get Bowie. I like some of his stuff but I personally think he's an overrated favorite son of the music snob-ocracy at publications like Rolling Stone.
@mmsun44 He was one of those who paved the road, if you don't get it, find another road. He also has a fine wife and nearly half a billion. I hope he does not get too upset over your opinion.
@mmsun44 You don't get Bowie? He was creative. He wrote beautiful songs that no one would ever want to know the meaning to. Why? It would take away the magic. Not a lot of artists can do that. I mean you tell me what "Life on Mars" is about just by listening. You can't. And the melody, the arrangement, everything about it is beautiful. Same with Ziggy Stardust. Well. I know what it's about, but it's still a killer song.
@jonahtran1 Nope I don't get Bowie but then I know people who don't get SRV too. Your point is well taken and if you find beauty in Bowie's music then that is a wonderful thing but I myself don't care for more than a few of his songs.
theres a blues guitarist on the scene that when he hits he will finally bring the blues back and keep it going. His name is Joshua jet vaughan. He plays just like srv. He has an incredible voice. Saw him in austin texas. the article written said he was the reincarnation of stevie or God decided to come down and play through him. you heard it here first. he is beautiful and a christian. finally, thankyou God!!!!!!!
@91thebossman What I meant with he's a christian is that God gives us all talents and it seems as if we follow the gifts that he has given us it will shine through to the whole world. Just like Stevie, his life was empty until he listened to God. It seems that all the greats were christians. However, the simple fact is that it is nice to hear that somebody is putting something bigger (God) above themselves. Look at Lady Gaga and a lot of the other so called musicians today. need i say more
@91thebossman If you ever listened to any of SRV's interviews he would always (more so after he got clean, but before also) give the glory of his music and his life to God. He would always say that his talents were gifts from God and he never blamed the world for his actions or mistakes he blamed himself, got over it, and realized that it was the path that God laid down for him to reach out and teach others. If you don't understand that, then you don't understand Stevie Ray Vaughan.

@silat13 You are correct. Fact is not faith and faith is not fact. They are two different words with two different meanings. However, free will is not related either. Again, free will is just free will, and until we can understand everything, then these concepts are probably a bit over our heads.

why compare and complain, all of them, bowie, hendrix and vaughan are something a lot special put on this earth to make it better and god damn they do, if only there were more of them and not silly techno, rap, pretend, computer music. Appreciate greatnesss while you al can cause the way it's going, rock is quickly and sadly becoming something to cherish, not discover.
I agree with Ritchie Blackmore: "SRV was very intense but did not do anything amazing". A mixture of Hendrix, Albert King and Jonny Winter he was. I will never understand the fuss they make about this King of pentatonic licks.
@5507156693 Hendrix' s guitar playing changed my life. He may not have had the same affect on you, but to say he was not a great guitar player is crazy man. I agree he was not the most technically accurate, but there was just some intense other worldy energy he portrayed through that guitar which blew my mind and swept my soul, and that's more important than any technicality, to me. Stevie Ray had that same energy in my opinion, and that's also why I think they get compared so often.
@5507156693 Pray tell. Why the FUCK isn't Jimi one of the greatest players that's ever lived? And choose your argument carefully. Remember that I and a lot more people are on the side of every respectable musician including Bowie and SRV. And know that SRV wouldn't be the same guitar player without Jimi Hendrix. He was an INNOVATOR. He stretched the limits of the guitar and made himself a legend in a FOUR YEAR CAREER! How many other people have done that? none.
@gillan5 well, if you listen to jimi hendrix you would find a mixture of T Bone Walker and Buddy Guy, Ritchie Blackmore was a mixture of Hendrix, Brian Jones and arabic style lick, but it was Blackmore. He mostly used pentatonic licks when he used to play Deep Purple, and unfortunately wasn't the king of pentatonics. But I like Blackmore's playing so much that I don't care about other musician's critics. SRV is blues, blues is mainly pentatonics, so what?
The Times/London Times(It's the paper of record with a reputation for serious journalism) reported that Hendrix showed no signs of addiction. It's on archive. They also have an article online where the doctor who tried to save Hendrix says that he was literally drowned in red wine. That they kept sucking it out of him and he was drenched inside and out. He claims it was Hendrix' manager's doing. If The Times is to be trusted then Hendrix' subsequent reputation is beyond tragic as it's false
I read that too. I believe it to be true. And incredibly tragic. Could you imagine say, Hendrix and Dick Dale collaborating on something? Or an old gray haired Jimi touring small blues clubs. Pinetop Perkins was well into his 80's and still playing dates. Damn shame.
@tjrtherocksponge there is barely any more deaths more tragic than hendrix and its a bit of a disgrace for anyone to compare which death had a bigger impact so it should be left alone..the reason why hendrix was in such a bad condition was cos his management treated him like shit and everyone knows he wasnt the best businessman.. he may have been on drugs but no one was there to help him when he needed it and he was real nice guy.. i love both tho im not trying to argue i just had to say
@electricladyland91 "there is barely any more deaths more tragic than hendrix and its a bit of a disgrace for anyone to compare which death had a bigger impact so it should be left alone"
ROFL! First part of your comment shits on the second part. Hilarious!
I give you the blue ribbon prize for the ultimate hypocritical Hendrix worshiping zombie!
Yeah SRV is just unbelievable! He was a gift to us from God! I hafta say though that I hate this version, & I'm sick of asshole artists fuckin up their own songs or trying to play them different! You are famous cuz of the way you recorded the songs originally! Play them that fuckin way!!! The only good thing about this version of this song is Stevie's guitar playing!!!
@kurtizzyflush REALLY?! I fail to see a music conversation here! Not a single comment since mine has even mentioned music, and you're questioning me?!? I raised a point & supported it! Is that not clear? One genius asks "is there a mick ronson here?" when it's clearly stated that this is SRV playing!
@HonRevPTB I'm questioning that fact that you have taste anywhere but in your mouth. Playing a song more than one way is how many musicians keep from getting tired of playing a song a million times. If you weren't a teeny bopper type that has to hear everything the same way again and again you might understand.
@kurtizzyflush - I could just thumbs up but I feel a need to add. - This version is in a way cooler than the original. Of course Bowie was scary when it first came out but this is cooler. The sound is cool. That's a blues/jazz thing. Both styles just make things sound cool. When SRV solos it gets hot, but overall it's just so cool.
Nothing's ever ruined by this kind of cool. Bowie fans know better than to expect the expected from him. Every time you turn around he's twisting something.
@tjrtherocksponge First of all were all dopefiends of one kind or another, and Jimi gave to Stevie ,as Stevie gave to us. So let the music play on with love and heartfelt lovin blues 2 ya'll!
@tjrtherocksponge Hendrix died when he was around 27 years ago. What was Stevie doing @ 27? Well, around 7 grams daily, plus a bottle of whiskey to take the edge off. He pulled through, whereas Hendrix was apparently poisoned when some medication was switched on him, some sleeping pills. That's irrelevant anyway, to my post. Anyone can go at any time.
not so rare any more----the entire rehearsal is available on a torrent
Of course everyone knows what happened right?? Just before the tour hits, SRV is told he's getting scale for the tour, CBS offers a deal, he bolts and the legend of SRV is firmly cemented forever
@theuncletodd He left because Bowie wasn't interested in SRV's bandmates, so, after soulsearching, he declined the offer. Not sure about the CBS offer timeline. I have to say that each and every SRV composition was lightyears above the "quality" of this sludgy lyric. Another reason to bail....
Actually he was born up north and moved here with his parents when he was a child, so by most of our local standards, he's not a "real" Texan. He's actually from New Haven, Conn., which actually would explain a lot, as far as I'm concerned.
your gonna hear all types of different sounds from other blues greats through srv and he always gave them credit when ever he spoke he looked up too all of the blues hero's before him and it came out amazingly through him he's a one and only and will never be another like him !!!!!!! his music will live forever!!!!!!!
@donofdivision Bowie's album "Let's Dance" was recorded entirely with SRV on guitar. None of his usual virtuosity, but a few good solos and riffs here and there
not relevant....sick of people dissing never let me down....never et me down is quite a sufficient recording....where would you place songs such as 'shining star'? this is not the only one neither....just a thought ...look at yourself in the eighties and gag yourself some leniency...i know it's tough.....david loves david
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
BULLSHIT & if you knew ur ass from a hole in the ground you'd know that SRV wanted to open BOWIE'S show with his band. Bowie, being a true pro didn't like the idea because he wanted to have SRV in TOP FORM for the grueling show that Bowie toured with. It was SRV who's ego got the best of him. Well SRV's blackmailing Bowie didn't work so he went off like a little child, didn't do the tour THANK GOD because a guitarist named Earl Slick who SMOKES SRV kicked serious ass on the tour.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
P.S don't get me wrong SRV smokes on this cd I have the dble disc but due to his attitude and lack of gratitude to Bowie who really helped make him a house hold name I am pissed that because of that we didn't have the historical pro tour DVD. And like I said Slick fucking rocked the show big-time.
Bowie, as a pro indeed, knew exactly what he did: he preferred having him in his own crew and claim the spoils rather as a stand alone band that really rocks (SRV's personality plays a serious role in this also) and inevitably in a comparable state.
Both of them did their part, which is huge btw, just it wasn't written for them to be together.
@UTBESUX People are blowing you off for no reason. Well, you do make claims that you can't know (i.e., other's state of mind) but it makes sense: SRV and Bowie were both artists, and even artists who want to work together sometimes find it impossible. Not every Newman finds his Redford.
@EriktheGLred Ugh! Always one curmudgeon on every board. So you think SRV was garbage huh? Well you're definitely in the minority here. The rest of us sane people, who know a great musician when we hear one, know that your statement is utter garbage. SRV was a one of a kind guitar player & an absolute legend. May he R.I.P.
@vodude I stand by my statement vodude. The song lenny is passible as music and, being original, however listening to a guy wank off on pentatonic scales with the same lame tone and cheesy rhythms bores me and, most the world. His lyrics weren't cutting edge or thought provoking either. I know a million dudes who can play just as he did, big gauage strings and all. They all play in Jimi Hendrix cover bands too. May his rest in please.
@SRVBASE Yep, just pure, heart-pounding Albert King lick after Albert King lick. You should check out Albert King and see where all 5 of Stevie's licks come from. I'm actually not trying to diss Stevie, I'm just speaking the truth. The only original thing about him was how fast and clean he played Albert's licks.
@Steakfinger - I'm not deaf. Can totally hear Albert King in there but at the same time SRV always sounds like SRV. Does that make sense? I mean the tone and style it's always SRV. I'm trying to find some old videos of Albert King that used to be up on Gibson's site. Sweet performances. Big man with big talent. Made it look like child's play. Of course it wasn't but he sure made it look easy.
@NolitaDenise - Uggh brain-fart. Can hear Albert King too but for a sec there totally got my Kings flipped. Cuz I can hear Freddie King in his playing as well. Pretty sure there's some B.B. to boot.
I don't know that there's a great blues guitarist that didn't influence him. Still I stand by it always sounding like SRV. If JLV didn't play so slowly I'd have gotten my Vaughans mixed up too though.
@NolitaDenise Makes perfect sense to me. I hear Albert and his other influences, but he always sounds like himself in his own style. He listened and learned from the greats, but distilled it into his own distinctive style.
@SRV4evr - Cool - I don't always have things come out exactly how I mean them. I wish the new breed would learn from these guys. Lately I just hear copycats. How cool would it be if new artists would deserve the title "artist" by distilling the past into their own styles?
this is an awesome video of all the greats! love it!
PLEASE go to my favs and click on SUBURBAN GUY ROCKIN OUT
he doesnt read music, really feels what he plays and improvises his songs as he goes along. the other 2 favs are him also ARIEL (awesome shredding) and ARIEL SIMANTOV (awesome sweeping) pls view comment and rate them as we think he deserves recogniton. thanks everyone!
Stevie Ray Vaughan died in Wisconsin. Good for us! There is rarely a day when I don't thank those wires for killing that retard. Can you imagine the horrible direction music might have gone if that hack lived?
You, my friend, are an idiot. Music has gone in all sorts of directions since 1990 and not all of it good. What you have said is spiteful, childish and downright ignorant. Have a bit more respect.
Yeah Jeff Beck is cool. That's why it's David Bowie and Jeff Beck? That's why Bowie said, like Clapton, BECK was the best blues guitarist he'd ever seen?.No. It was Stevie Ray they all spoke of and admired. SRV is legendary staus, and Beck is...well, Beck. He's good, but he's just Jeff Beck!
Don't be sorry this is rare SRV.One of the best blues,rock n' roll guirarists ever.If you didn't post this nobody would have seen it.This is one for the archives of Stevie Ray Vaughan.I was lucky enough to see Stevie in Toronto,i wish he was still with us.Thanks texasp1.
Please... there is no need to argue any point. Even Bowie said that SRV was "...the greatest urban blues guitarist he had ever seen", that in itself is one hell of a praise. SRV is and well always be one of the greatest guitar players to ever handle the instrument.
I was there and we booed the junkie because he was over indulgent and selfish. He played on his own. He wasn't good enough to be on stage with the quality that Bowie had. Bowie fans are used to better guitar players (Slick, Rodgers, Belew)
The "junkie" you refer to actually quit and encouraged others to quit as well. SRV is regarded as the BEST guitar player that ever was even by Clapton and Jimmy Page so SUCK ON THAT LOSER
Clapton and Page (and Townsend) were paid a million dollars between them to say they were fans of srv in order to help his record company with his dwindling fanbase, everybody knows that now.
Bowie pitied the texan junkie loser because he had an issue with coke in the seventies himself.
Tony, pass that weed you're hitting because you MUST be high coming up with lies like THAT. Walk into any guitar store and ask everybody in that store who the greatest guitarist was and most will say SRV or Hendrix
IT SURE FUCKIN IS,STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN,SPERMGL YOU IDIOT.i'm tired of people like you putting stevie down,he was a total original there's not many left.
I thank you for making such an IDIOTIC comment so we can make use of Youtube's commenting system. Because we all know that SRV is no slouch on the guitar and the endless comments of praise speaks volumes against your tiny cry for attention.... Baaa waaa!!!!
@niggasbtrippin Well, that's charming that they would say that. I have to assume Vaughn would either have to nominate Hendrix or give back all his licks.
@dantean First, it's VaughAn but you don't know it; second, even when he played a Hendrix song he was closer to what you may call Albert-King-licks...but you don't know it either. Could it be because your ears are chock-full of Hendrix and your head is drawn off of brains?
bowie saw stevie get boo'd off stage at a festival in england, and hired him because he knew he was great. it amazes me how players just know when it's right, even when the public isn't ready for it.
it wasn't in england, it was the montreux festival in france or sweden i believe, He got boo'd because he played blues at a jazz festival. Bowie saw how good he was though, and got him to play the solo on "lets dance" in 83 i believe.
Actually, the festival you're referring to was in Montreux, Switzerland, at the 1982 Jazz Festival.
Now, I forget where I read or heard this, but I don't think Stevie was booed off the stage, indeed he was booed by some of the crowd, but by the end of the set, most of the crowd was calling for an encore. Stevie, being the sensitive guy he was, I guess just didn't feel like playing an encore, probably feeling hurt because of the people who did boo him. In the end, this is all speculation.
First concert I went to in Auckland N.Z. Really missed seeing S.R.V on the tour (Earl Slick did a quick replacement) but he had the real blues to share with us instead..and that has no price!
When I first heard years ago that SRV had played with Bowie I was really shocked. I love them both, but such different types of music. This is a real treat to hear how they blended it together! Thanks!!
I think the solos on "Let's Dance" and "China Girl" are more immediately recognizable as Stevie...the ryhthm bits he played on "Modern Love" and "China Girl" are cool-I don't know how much he played on the rest of the album besides "Let's Dance","Modern Love",and "China Girl"...
Type in "Franks Simms on Stevie Ray Vaughan". This is what I'm Basing it off of. The part about his stupid manager wanting more money is true, according to this video.
get the srv box set,there is a book that comes with it,inside that book are comments from many different musicians.Stevie and Bowie first met at Montreux in1982,then recorded lets dance,then rehearsed for the Serious Moonlight tour,which Stevie backed out of.That would be early 1983,then Stevie and Bowie didn't see each other till 1990.
Best version of this song I've ever heard, it's actually listenable with the funky approach to it, & Stevie with the bluesy guitar.... The main riff sounds reminiscent of "Dirty Water" by the Standells & covered by the Inmates.
Thanks for e -mailing me , EGOLDSTROM. The 1982 meeting is well documented,I've read his biographies and have the Montreux dvd.A lot of people don't know about Stevie and Bowie meeting in 1990.
The magic of SRV & David Bowie is effident in the audio in this clip, pity there was not more tunes cut together than the few that we know of.

I too agree with Ritchie Blackmore: Jimi Hendrix was not a great guitar player. He was not perfect but everything around him was perfect.
Of course, Ritchie meant he was the best and he did the most

@5507156693 Hendrix' s guitar playing changed my life. He may not have had the same affect on you, but to say he was not a great guitar player is crazy man. I agree he was not the most technically accurate, but there was just some intense other worldy energy he portrayed through that guitar which blew my mind and swept my soul, and that's more important than any technicality, to me. Stevie Ray had that same energy in my opinion, and that's also why I think they get compared so often.

@5507156693 Pray tell. Why the FUCK isn't Jimi one of the greatest players that's ever lived? And choose your argument carefully. Remember that I and a lot more people are on the side of every respectable musician including Bowie and SRV. And know that SRV wouldn't be the same guitar player without Jimi Hendrix. He was an INNOVATOR. He stretched the limits of the guitar and made himself a legend in a FOUR YEAR CAREER! How many other people have done that? none.

@gillan5 well, if you listen to jimi hendrix you would find a mixture of T Bone Walker and Buddy Guy, Ritchie Blackmore was a mixture of Hendrix, Brian Jones and arabic style lick, but it was Blackmore. He mostly used pentatonic licks when he used to play Deep Purple, and unfortunately wasn't the king of pentatonics. But I like Blackmore's playing so much that I don't care about other musician's critics. SRV is blues, blues is mainly pentatonics, so what?

The Times/London Times(It's the paper of record with a reputation for serious journalism) reported that Hendrix showed no signs of addiction. It's on archive. They also have an article online where the doctor who tried to save Hendrix says that he was literally drowned in red wine. That they kept sucking it out of him and he was drenched inside and out. He claims it was Hendrix' manager's doing. If The Times is to be trusted then Hendrix' subsequent reputation is beyond tragic as it's false

@HonRevPTB I'm questioning that fact that you have taste anywhere but in your mouth. Playing a song more than one way is how many musicians keep from getting tired of playing a song a million times. If you weren't a teeny bopper type that has to hear everything the same way again and again you might understand.
kurtizzyflush 1 year ago
@kurtizzyflush - I could just thumbs up but I feel a need to add. - This version is in a way cooler than the original. Of course Bowie was scary when it first came out but this is cooler. The sound is cool. That's a blues/jazz thing. Both styles just make things sound cool. When SRV solos it gets hot, but overall it's just so cool.
Nothing's ever ruined by this kind of cool. Bowie fans know better than to expect the expected from him. Every time you turn around he's twisting something.

@tjrtherocksponge Hendrix died when he was around 27 years ago. What was Stevie doing @ 27? Well, around 7 grams daily, plus a bottle of whiskey to take the edge off. He pulled through, whereas Hendrix was apparently poisoned when some medication was switched on him, some sleeping pills. That's irrelevant anyway, to my post. Anyone can go at any time.

Bowie, as a pro indeed, knew exactly what he did: he preferred having him in his own crew and claim the spoils rather as a stand alone band that really rocks (SRV's personality plays a serious role in this also) and inevitably in a comparable state.
Both of them did their part, which is huge btw, just it wasn't written for them to be together.

Actually, the festival you're referring to was in Montreux, Switzerland, at the 1982 Jazz Festival.
Now, I forget where I read or heard this, but I don't think Stevie was booed off the stage, indeed he was booed by some of the crowd, but by the end of the set, most of the crowd was calling for an encore. Stevie, being the sensitive guy he was, I guess just didn't feel like playing an encore, probably feeling hurt because of the people who did boo him. In the end, this is all speculation.
