That's so fortunate you had the chance to see him. I got home from football practice heard the 3RRR ( Australia) radio blues show saying he died. I went to my room and sobbed.
I was at the last show... Sunday, August, 26th, 1990, at Alpine Valley Music Theater. The last song he ever played in his life was "Sweet Home Chicago". It was a long jam with Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray<,Jimmy Vaughan, and the Memphis Brass. Sadly Stevie was Dead before we left the parking lot but nobody knew until the next morning when his helicopter never showed up. It was the saddest day I can remember.
It took me about a month to learn this song on electric guitar, but playing it on a 12 string acoustic!?!?!?! Are you effing kidding me!?!?! The man was a God. RIP SRV
oh god why did you take this man???you didnt have to die stevie!!! stevie is the best he is only one,nobody plays or played like him...he always makes me happy..
I saw Stevie play at Val Du Lakes here in Michigan shortly before he died and I was front row center......felt the man's sweat hit me! He was the most amazing guitar player that I have ever witnessed and it was an honor to see him.
For the uploader to even suggest this is SRV's final jam is just ignorant, shows even the most unintelligent person just how little you know about the Man, The Legend, The Artist. Don't post shit if you have no cluelwhat your talking about. Thats how rumors get started ....next thing you know a generation of kids are saying SRV was shot on MTV while playing this or some stupid chit like that. Do your research before or Look for attention elsewhere. SRV forgives you but i dont.
@beeeeoch Eh, is all a matter of disturbing the magnetic field. Extra mass will do that. So will getting the strings closer ot the pickups. Or using stronger magnets. Good amps too. Say what you like about Malmsteen, he has not thin tone at all .008s. Wait, we got that beat. Fat, greasy, funky Texas tone in spades: Billy Gibbons - .007s! I use a hybrid 10-52, Nothing to do with tone; it keeps my tremolo in tune.
@beeeeoch Add a spring? I have 3 on my mexi deluxe lonestar in the middle and on the edges and my G string goes out of tune more than I want. Should I get 1 or 2 more springs?
Stevie played insanely heavy gauge strings - this is how he can play a 12 string with such alacrity. Playing a horrible acoustic with bad action will, I gawr-awn-tee, make you a better electric player, by the way.
19 dislikes?? HOW? I mean seriously, how can ANYONE not appreciate the gift this man shared with all of us!?? How LUCKY we are!~ I never missed one show of his when he came to St Louis...and yes, I totally cried like a baby bitch when he died...
Most amazing man, most amazing talent, and so very missed.
More than 20 years he left us, and no one came to fulfill his shoes, and I doubt that anyone will, or even come close. No one chooses to play like he did, the thing is, you have it or you don´t. Einstein was also one of that league, something on their genetics gave them those powers. And that should be a relief for all of us players, there´s nothing we can do about it, play what you can that´s enough. It´s all said.
20 years ago tomorrow. Still makes me tear up sometimes.
I remember reading an interview with Buddy Guy, who was hanging out with Stevie backstage at Alpine Valley that night, saying Stevie told him that he was happier that night than he had ever been in his life. I don't really feel sorry for him. I feel sorry for US.
I have to be honest.......since Jimi Hendrix passed away, there have been many guitar players who came pretty close.......ROBIN TROWER....FRANK MARINO, but Stevie Ray Vaughan, in terms of technique comes pretty damn close. I don't think any other guitar player can do Voodoo Chile like him. That's the beauty about blues guitar players. It does not involved intricate playing like what Satriani/Buckethead etc....They can't come close to Blues Players in that league. Stevie ROCKS!!!
I was on the lawn at Alpine Valley for SRV's final concert, though we didn't know it was going to be the final concert. And yes, Stevie's final jam was to Sweet HOme Chicago.
Hey, yeah I know the statue very well. I even whacked the SRV letters on the Strat for a day!
Travelled all the way from Sydney Australia to visit Austin - his grave - and everything SRV. Met Double Trouble and had the pilgrimage of a lifetime. It was amazing.
The last song SRV played was Sweet home Chicago, along with his brother,Jimmie,Eric Clapton, Robert Cray,and Buddy Guy, I was sitting right in front of them, about 30 minutes after they stopped playing, the helicopters took of for Ohare to drop them off, SRV to meet Eric Clapton in morning to fly to Europe to start tour. I am 51 now and remember it like it was yesterday, he will be forever missed!
SRV was a truly awesome guitarist but there is no such thing as the best guitarist I love guitar music blues and rock love SRV,Hendrix,Jimmy Page, and many others but cannot put one above all others although I do have a special place for Rory Gallagher first time I heard him hairs on my neck stood up
why do you think SRV gave such great homage to buddy guy ... buddy and srv same.. I saw one of the best concerts of SRV live on galveston island 87, best ever srv... awsome..
buddy guy a real human being, have you ever talked to this icon real human? I have and seen the original versions of these tunes and a humble man.. talk to anyone..
let's not get started :P people will always argue that.. it just comes to preferance.. me and another guy I jam with always argue on what version of little wing sounds better cause he learnt the hendrix version and I learnt the SRV version.. same with voodoo child :P... just comes to taste but we both agree that SRV is amazing
FYI, this was not his "final jam"; this was his appearnace on the now-defunct "MTV Unplugged". He is playing "Rude Mood", and tearing it up..... on a 12 string! Yes, this whole version is played on a 12!
Better? No way. Stevie raped the 12 string acoustic guitar. Nobody can play like him.
Jimi was good on the acoustic guitar, but what Stevie did was something from another planet guitar playing. This is probably one of the very best and finest blues acoustic shows ever.
Jimi was a far better songwriter than SRV,. SRV mainly played blues whereas Hendrix played everything. Jimi was far more unique than SRV. Don't get me wrong, i like SRV but Jimi was so much more diverse. Maybe just maybe SRV played a little faster than jimi but who cares.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Jimi was a better songwritter and more inovative than SRV, but SRV was a better guitar player (tehnically and more passionate/intense), he was a better singer and was a lot more creative when it came to guitar tones and sounds. Also, SRV's main choice maybe was blues, but he could play anything. From any style of blues, rock and roll, jazz, funk, soul, pop, etc... Just name it. He was versatile as much or even more than Jimi.
Overall maybe Jimi is better, but SRV was a much better blues player.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
SRV said Jimi was an inovator and he was just an imitator. Once and for all, SRV was great but Jimi was far more unique. Technically i don't think SRV was much better, maybe a little bit faster. SRV was certainly not more versatile than Jimi even though SRV certainly was versatile. SRV's voice was not much better than Jimi's. I like SRV's voice because it fits his music as Jimi's did with his music. To me Jimi was the ultimate blues player even though SRV played more bluessongs. Enough of this.
SRV never said that he was an imitator boy. Seriously grow up. Yes, Jimi was more inovative, a better songwritter, but SRV had more soul, passion and fire, he was tehnically better and was more creative with guitar tones and sounds. Also SRV was a better singer, many blues musicians said it, and SRV was versatile as much as Hendrix or even more. And in no way can Jimi be the ultimate blues player. He was more rock and roll and maybe best at it, but SRV is the ultimate blues player of all time.
not even close. jimi was the better songwritter, yes. stevie, was the way better guitar player. jimi was an innovator, but sloppy. stevie is as big an influence on current players, a s jimi ever was. this does not discount jimi, he was great. but stevie was not less either.
SRV was not a way better guitar player. Yes less sloppy but his playing wasn't better. You have made up your mind as I have made up my mind so let's leave it at that.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ur a retard overrated?? hell fuckin no look back my friend hendrix was the first blues master and shredder u retard. he was and still will be for years to come the best songwriter to ever grace this earth. "little wing" "bold as love instrumental 1967" "castles made of sand" srv ever said he was his greatest influence so shut the fuck up unless u kno what u r talking about
Jimi wasn't the first blues master and first shredder. The first blues masters came years and years before him, guys like T-Bone Walker, B. B King, Robert Johnson, Buddy Guy were one of the very first blues guitar masters.... Also, Jimi wasn't the first shredder. The first shredder would be someone like Les Paul or even Django Reindhart.
Tommy Emmanuel you hear tommy emmanuel here? how the hell it sounds nothing like him, first of all its 12 string and secondly its SRV, but props to tommy for being so awesome aswell like I love that man
With people who possess an ability so phenomenal at to seem almost...supernatural, I'm not sure you can say one was better than the other. I think this is especially true with SRV and Jimi. If anything, they invite comparison, not contrast; these were two men truly cut from the same cloth.
hey Declansucks...if you don't shut up I rip you a second asshole. Stevie Ray is one of the best guitarists(besides Jimi Hendrix) and ever will be. He can beat up the whole gayclub Fall Out Boy. This Band have less to do with guitars...I can't hear at once One Good Riff in this Boygroup! If Stevie Ray isn't your taste than go to the Fall Out Boy Videos and post like a chick! ;)
if you couldnt tell i was being sarcastic, stevie ray vaughan is an all around guitar god, i agree fall out boy is an all around fag festival, i was just posting that to rag on some guy who was bashing stevie. no hard feelings
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i really loved SRV, but in my opinion i think that one gay dude from fall out boy would fucking own him in a guitar battle anyday, i mean seriously own him, like rip him a new asshole, cause fall out boy is such a awesome band, but thats my opinion
Guitars are so integral to Rock culture from Chuck Barry, Bo Diddly on up SRV was my personal favorite a gentleman as well as Guitar God asking which one was better is pointless. Might as well ask if The Hulk Could beat Superman lol these guys were/are awesome.....
I really can't believe that all of this chatter is going on about SRV, Clapton, etc. They are ALL great in their own way, that is why we all listen, argue, accept, and admire their talents. Some techincal, some soulful. Go ask Jimmy Page (white) who his influences are...He will say "Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Robert Johnson" Go ask Buddy Guy (black) who one of his great influences is...He will say Clapton. It seems that they have no problem with race, why do we? Just watch/listen and enjoy.
Yes, but only big and important corection. Buddy wasn't influenced by Eric at all. Don't know where you picked that information, but it ain't true at all. It was actually totally oposite. Eric was influenced by Buddy, and influenced by him a lot.
I saw Buddy at his club in Chicago earlier this year. Yes, in the beginning, it was he who influenced Clapton, but in later years, it was the reverse...Buddy made several statements to this effect during the gig. I just didn't have room to put all of that in my comment :)
Each person has an opinion about art that is right to themselves--there is no denying that to them. But when millions of people collectively admire the work of an artist such as they have SRV those few who disapprove need to recognize their loneliness and maybe rethink their disdain--his art spoke to many and that made him truly great. There was certainly something there and we are poorer for having lost it but at least we have these recordings to remind us.
wow...anyone who says that this is easy to play is ridiculously jealous of SRV or they're just trying to act like they're amazing at guitar when they probably don't even play guitar in the first place. This is quite difficult to play, regardless of whether or not you're drunk.
BTW. Stevie never said that about himself you punk, and neither Clapton is over rated, and Elvis for sure is not over rated you dumb racist. Elvis is the king o rock and roll.
You bitch fuck off and get a life, and stop being a damn racist and stop hating people that are better than you.
you really need to watch more interviews....and im not a racist...im just a youtube freak who sees and hears the comments they have made. when i find it i will show you. stevie said to the guy who sings for derrick trucks...he thought he was a good singer...but if he sang as black as I played hed have a career...not my words...its just fact that when white people do black music it is considered awesome. janis joplin said that about big momma thornton
codehendrix, edenmanerr, Snotra and all you other crazy motherfuckers, please fuck off and ger some lifes, please.
Stop hating SRV cause he is the best.
BTW. This is not some rip off or some boring song.
Rude Mood one of best blues/rock instrumentals of all times, and it has a Grammy award, and beside that, it has been 6 or 7 times nominated, so all you haters and wannabes, just stop embarassing yourselfs and get some lifes.
omg rude mood is not even a blues song...u need to watch more interviews....its a ode to chet atkins dumb ass....sure stevie is great but not even the best just more popular than most. whit folks thought elvis was great until they found out who wrote hound dog...he was just white...thats it...stevie is good but stevie considered himself a brotha...and a fairly good guitar player....his words. oh and clapton is not god hes just celebrated oh and white
Stop hating people that are a lot better than you. This is not some rip off or some boring song.
Rude Mood one of best blues/rock instrumentals of all times, and it has a Grammy award, and beside that, it has been 6 or 7 times nominated, so it is clear that you are a retard. You know nothing about music and guitar playing mate.
u should stop calling people names until u gather enough comprehension skills to read with understanding. its just a fact. eric clapton is on youtube several times a week...check the interviews with katie curic...he is addicted. he also stated he hated when people called him god, cause he said back then that he wasnt even close to being as good as his idols....ask your doctor about zoloft...u need it.they are all great but best in ones taste...pat martino is best cause i like him
Get a life. You are just a little jealous son of a bitch that knows nothing about music and guitar playing, and you hate SRV. He is a god, legend and icon of guitar. A master and one of the best of all time.
Look at what you said once again you faggot. You talked shit and shit about Jimi, SRV, Elvis, etc... And all with no real true reason, just cause you hate them and you can't appreciate what they did. You know shit about music, get it? You are seriously sick in the head mate.
maybe so but Hendrix played to fast sometimes. too fast so that he'd hit a load of bum notes here and there, ive listened to pretty much all of srv's live performances and even when he was off his head he'd never hid a bum note......I wouldnt say jimi was overrated at all though just SRV was seriousl UNDERRATED......:)
The thing with SRV is that he deserves more mention, recognition and stuff like that what he deserves, cause he is a god, icon, master and virtuoso of guitar and there will never be someone like him, but definetely he isn't underrated.
I find it to be part of Jimi's charm that he didn't play perfectly.
He didn't treat his guitar in a technical way, he used it to surge his emotions through, and make sounds. His fingers did what they did, and if he hit bum notes he didn't care because I don't think he ever had any intention of letting the technicalities of music rule the way he played.
srv is playing with jimi, and someday, we will too!

Better? No way. Stevie raped the 12 string acoustic guitar. Nobody can play like him.
Jimi was good on the acoustic guitar, but what Stevie did was something from another planet guitar playing. This is probably one of the very best and finest blues acoustic shows ever.

He didn't "rape" the guitar son; he made love to it.

Jimi was a far better songwriter than SRV,. SRV mainly played blues whereas Hendrix played everything. Jimi was far more unique than SRV. Don't get me wrong, i like SRV but Jimi was so much more diverse. Maybe just maybe SRV played a little faster than jimi but who cares.

Jimi was a better songwritter and more inovative than SRV, but SRV was a better guitar player (tehnically and more passionate/intense), he was a better singer and was a lot more creative when it came to guitar tones and sounds. Also, SRV's main choice maybe was blues, but he could play anything. From any style of blues, rock and roll, jazz, funk, soul, pop, etc... Just name it. He was versatile as much or even more than Jimi.
Overall maybe Jimi is better, but SRV was a much better blues player.

SRV said Jimi was an inovator and he was just an imitator. Once and for all, SRV was great but Jimi was far more unique. Technically i don't think SRV was much better, maybe a little bit faster. SRV was certainly not more versatile than Jimi even though SRV certainly was versatile. SRV's voice was not much better than Jimi's. I like SRV's voice because it fits his music as Jimi's did with his music. To me Jimi was the ultimate blues player even though SRV played more bluessongs. Enough of this.
hesmon 3 years ago
SRV never said that he was an imitator boy. Seriously grow up. Yes, Jimi was more inovative, a better songwritter, but SRV had more soul, passion and fire, he was tehnically better and was more creative with guitar tones and sounds. Also SRV was a better singer, many blues musicians said it, and SRV was versatile as much as Hendrix or even more. And in no way can Jimi be the ultimate blues player. He was more rock and roll and maybe best at it, but SRV is the ultimate blues player of all time.
grga888 3 years ago
not even close. jimi was the better songwritter, yes. stevie, was the way better guitar player. jimi was an innovator, but sloppy. stevie is as big an influence on current players, a s jimi ever was. this does not discount jimi, he was great. but stevie was not less either.

ur a retard overrated?? hell fuckin no look back my friend hendrix was the first blues master and shredder u retard. he was and still will be for years to come the best songwriter to ever grace this earth. "little wing" "bold as love instrumental 1967" "castles made of sand" srv ever said he was his greatest influence so shut the fuck up unless u kno what u r talking about
jimmycrackcorn1983 3 years ago
Jimi wasn't the first blues master and first shredder. The first blues masters came years and years before him, guys like T-Bone Walker, B. B King, Robert Johnson, Buddy Guy were one of the very first blues guitar masters.... Also, Jimi wasn't the first shredder. The first shredder would be someone like Les Paul or even Django Reindhart.

With people who possess an ability so phenomenal at to seem almost...supernatural, I'm not sure you can say one was better than the other. I think this is especially true with SRV and Jimi. If anything, they invite comparison, not contrast; these were two men truly cut from the same cloth.

I really can't believe that all of this chatter is going on about SRV, Clapton, etc. They are ALL great in their own way, that is why we all listen, argue, accept, and admire their talents. Some techincal, some soulful. Go ask Jimmy Page (white) who his influences are...He will say "Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Robert Johnson" Go ask Buddy Guy (black) who one of his great influences is...He will say Clapton. It seems that they have no problem with race, why do we? Just watch/listen and enjoy.
twhardin 3 years ago 4
Yes, but only big and important corection. Buddy wasn't influenced by Eric at all. Don't know where you picked that information, but it ain't true at all. It was actually totally oposite. Eric was influenced by Buddy, and influenced by him a lot.
grga888 3 years ago
I saw Buddy at his club in Chicago earlier this year. Yes, in the beginning, it was he who influenced Clapton, but in later years, it was the reverse...Buddy made several statements to this effect during the gig. I just didn't have room to put all of that in my comment :)

Each person has an opinion about art that is right to themselves--there is no denying that to them. But when millions of people collectively admire the work of an artist such as they have SRV those few who disapprove need to recognize their loneliness and maybe rethink their disdain--his art spoke to many and that made him truly great. There was certainly something there and we are poorer for having lost it but at least we have these recordings to remind us.

you really need to watch more interviews....and im not a racist...im just a youtube freak who sees and hears the comments they have made. when i find it i will show you. stevie said to the guy who sings for derrick trucks...he thought he was a good singer...but if he sang as black as I played hed have a career...not my words...its just fact that when white people do black music it is considered awesome. janis joplin said that about big momma thornton

u should stop calling people names until u gather enough comprehension skills to read with understanding. its just a fact. eric clapton is on youtube several times a week...check the interviews with katie curic...he is addicted. he also stated he hated when people called him god, cause he said back then that he wasnt even close to being as good as his idols....ask your doctor about zoloft...u need it.they are all great but best in ones taste...pat martino is best cause i like him

Get a life. You are just a little jealous son of a bitch that knows nothing about music and guitar playing, and you hate SRV. He is a god, legend and icon of guitar. A master and one of the best of all time.
Look at what you said once again you faggot. You talked shit and shit about Jimi, SRV, Elvis, etc... And all with no real true reason, just cause you hate them and you can't appreciate what they did. You know shit about music, get it? You are seriously sick in the head mate.

maybe so but Hendrix played to fast sometimes. too fast so that he'd hit a load of bum notes here and there, ive listened to pretty much all of srv's live performances and even when he was off his head he'd never hid a bum note......I wouldnt say jimi was overrated at all though just SRV was seriousl UNDERRATED......:)

SRV isn't underrated.
The thing with SRV is that he deserves more mention, recognition and stuff like that what he deserves, cause he is a god, icon, master and virtuoso of guitar and there will never be someone like him, but definetely he isn't underrated.
grga888 3 years ago
yeah, thats what i meant. i just used the wrong word...recognition...thanks
HarryGDMF 3 years ago
I find it to be part of Jimi's charm that he didn't play perfectly.
He didn't treat his guitar in a technical way, he used it to surge his emotions through, and make sounds. His fingers did what they did, and if he hit bum notes he didn't care because I don't think he ever had any intention of letting the technicalities of music rule the way he played.
