[ryanmacdaddy1000]

00:47, chris layton didn't look to thrilled to be there :)

[shredmaster100]

srv kicks the ass of all comers as roy buchanan said the messiah will come again and he was srv

[jwizzie23]

Might wanna wear a hat cuz your hair is gonna blow back!

[ricknslm]

Legendary...nuff said........

[juliouszappalino]

porque cojones tiene un negativo el video?

[paltaylechuga]

it´s like the guitar can talk by the touch of his hands

[Slay3r0111]

@paltaylechuga couldn't have said it better myself homes..

[snatchsour]

Happy Birthday Stevie!!!

[MrPorsche91730]

Great DVD, him and fellow Texan Johnny Copeland put on a great show. Guitarists like him come around only once every 2000 years R.I.P

[TNA796]

On this day in 1990, the greatest blues guitarist the word had ever seen was taken from us. R.I.P SRV

[EGZapata]

Ya hace 21 años que se fue de gira, como se lo extraña.

[benbasketballgtar]

now they are all cheering, can't say the same for 1982 can ya montreux , ya bunch of bastards

[greenbaybuckeye1]

Nice bracelet, scarves, hat, beard, jacket... heh

[rhollybee]

After watching the rest,you always come back to the best.

[roxmysox6024]

I'm basically watching the whole Montreaux Jazz Festival concert through the uploads of bits and snips of it on here. SRV is.. wow.

[MacGoosh]

3.55 one of the best note that i have ever heard

!!

[martin8uq]

@MacGoosh Yeah! - Sounds like a Baaaaad Horse!! Haha! My Fav = 0.42 First open low E/Eb string - sounds like someone droping a Anchor on an Anvil !!

[trucoteca28]

where is his No. 1 ????? Fn' awesome anyway

Long Live to Stevie!!!!!

[d35788]

what is the make of that guitar i want 1!!!

[hungerstriker27]

@d35788

It is one of the rarest huitars around. In fact, I think this one never was released for mass production.

[MrDeadbabys]

@hungerstriker27 im pretty sure it was special made for stevie as a gift

[ttraver90]

WITH THE POWER OF SOULLLLL



[hungerstriker27]

for me, voodoo child is the top of the electric guitar, in all terms. You don´t need only skill to play this one, you need soul. thats why the versions of zack wylde or satriani are awful. srv and jimmi had soul.

[d35788]

@hungerstriker27 yes bro, very very true :) finally some 1 realises guitar isnt all skill especialy the blues!

[MJlonir9]

Can anyone tell me what Stevie says at 5:15-5:35?

[TheMikeysg]

@MJlonir9 With the power of soul anything is possible~ youtube.com/watch?v=gjRdKxYYv4­4

[owlcu]

Two things: I've always wondered what the bass player says to Stevie at 3:44 to make him look at someone to his right and play a nasty note, like "eat this, mother fucker". And at 4:40 the sound he gets is so soaked in suffering there's no way I could ever doubt he knew the blues, inside out.

[MrIrishDutchguy]

the bassist is good, but I don't like the effect he's using...

[audiodope2]

if you think this is even close to jimi's version, youre an idiot. SRV made this song his own..

[avj182]

better than hendrix

[Quikpro92]

Salute to a true Rock god, thanks for joining us on earth SRV

[dannon2010]

that was my point....typically who is the one who should get credit...the one who originally played and wrote the song, or who covers it almost exactly like the dude who came up with it? I was basically responding to those claiming that SRV was doing a better job than Hendrix...which is ridiculous, because, aside from the feedback control that Hendrix used, SRV plays it almost exactly like Hendrix.

[dannon2010]

It's difficult for me to describe genius to somebody doing a cover...almost exactly like the original.

[slayerrules114]

@dannon2010 It's an almost an exact cover of JIMI HENDRIX. Give the man some credit. Honestly.

[sublime88sublime]

wow

[gratefulspaceful]

I was here, July 15, 1985, in Montreux with Pascal, Didier and Gerard and he was my best concert ever. Thank you Steve, rest in peace with Gerard.

[CoachG1000]

I don't think Stevie was sober during this period was he?...Is later stuff is so much more focused and 'on'.....still the best to ever tune those 6 strings.

[csi2448]

@CoachG1000 You are correct. He wasn't sober for about another year and 4 months

[ixlikexscurvy]

@TheChannel717

That guitar was given to him by one of the zz top guys. Not sure who made it...but it's obviously custom!

[johnnymcjiggers]

It's painful to me how many people I've shown SRV to, only to have it go right over their heads. They just don't get it. Nobody appreciates this kind of talent these days. It's like untalented is the new talented now. Any moron can sing off key into an auto-tuner that does all the work for them, and then lip the sync the recording on stage. Yet the people who do get record contracts and millions of admiring fans. Crazy backwards world we live in today.

[bluesmanjay1]

@johnnymcjiggers my thoughts exacly people dont apreciate good music anymore

[Brandon18valensi]

@johnnymcjiggers i'm 17 and srv is my hero

[MrMonday82]

does anyone think he looks slightly like Russell Crowe with the beard? or is it just me...

[TheChannel717]

If anyone knows.... what kind of pickups was he using [or what kind of pedal, if any]

And what kind of guitar was that?

[pipon55]

1:45 Haha, his voice wasn't in shape there

[SplitSpades11]

@pipon55 No.The bass is just really loud and he is pushing his voice way too hard to try and sing over it .I mean listen to that fucking rumble.turn that shit down and let Stevie shine man.His vocals were so amazing.He was such a loss.an incredible inspiration to me!

[Marcos471]

2:12 to 2:30 Amazing!!

[robdorg]

this version is kind of shitty. the bass is clunky and the drums kind of dawdle.

the only good part is stevie.

[jf4r3w311]

I've witnessed great guitar players over the years who can pull off tricks and stunts and play so fast you can't see their fingers move. Maybe even have talent to the point to say they were technically as good as some of the greats, but I just can't get over this guy. He doesn't just play, he captivates, surprises and gives each and every string on a guitar life. Him and Hendrix. Long may their music live. RIP.

[TNA796]

@jf4r3w311 IMO, Hendrix is mostly just noise compared to Stevie Ray. Stevie played with his heart, Hendrix just cranked his amp as far as it could go and smashed his flaming guitar onto the stage and jumped up and down on the whammy bar (bit of an exaggeration there) but yes, RIP to both

[langford11592]

2:47 to 2:54 someone tell me what in the world was that i can play blues real well and can play good fast licks but someone explain that crap.

[Gergerpatpat]

@langford11592 He's just playing a few (nowadays) standard blues licks based around the minor pentatonic and using lots of pull-offs. He plays it really fast but you can hear the licks he uses...

[TheCavenUniverse]

Stevie's favorite guitar was his 1960 Fender strat that he named 1st wife but my favorite guitar in his collection is the Hamilton guitar that was given to him as a gift from Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top. Its really cool looking, I love the finish of it and its a solid body like a les paul but has a cutaway design like a fender strat, and it has a great women like tone.

[TheCavenUniverse]

Stevie was so stoned during this performance till its ridiculous, but that is what has really endeared him to me and made this performance so special and one of my favorites. Its so special to me because inspite of his addiction he still is able to get up their and give 1000%, while still showing great poise and fortitude.

[xfactorsixteen]

SR makes the most out of every single note... he has unbelievable hand control and never hits a bad note or bend....RIP

[SW5268]

R.I.P Stevie...........your the best X

[ChArLeSiSaSoMwE5]

kick ass song.truly one of the best guitarist ever.

[NosferatuRAGE]

Love how he ends the song this time

[sirulrich64]

that strat isn't fender, right??

[brandonman94]

@sirulrich64 It's his Hamiltone guitar. If I remember correctly, don't quote me on it, Billy Gibbons gave it to him. Cool guitar :)

[TheCavenUniverse]

@sirulrich64 No Its not a fender its a hamilton guitar, giving to him as a gift from Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top.

[MoonTh0]

They have almost completely improvised! Great!

[SRV39]

I Love This Song!!!

[disavowed101]

Glad he took out those EMG's and had his tech put in the vintage rea Fender Strat pickups

[BonzoTriplets]

Thanks for uploading

[Gallagherfreak100]

Rory was also at Montreux in 1985, and was in top form. To see him and SRV share the stage, that would have been something beyond. I wonder why those two never jammed together?

[hiro80020961]

The best ever! GREAT SRV!

[SRVMusicVideo]

Thanks thanks

[SuperStoned420420]

Best cover ever.

[andrewbaltzer]

i like the sound of the middle pickup with that guitar.

[robdorg]

i think it sounds like ass personally. too clanky.

[robdorg]

fuck you people.

[drg92asturias]

I love when he starts singing the second part and then he decide to continue te solo!!

[david124bat]

he is truly brilliant

[worshipguitar33]

SRV is a legend but this is one of the worse performances of this song i think, not much intro and one of the few times he misses a note and goes off key with his vocals. both versions from austin city limits are better.

[schaufi]

Dude, this is without a doubt the best version of Voodoo Child (Slight Return)...It doesn't matter how long the intro. it matters how clear the guitar sounds, how amazing he can play the guitar...

[worshipguitar33]

Im not doubting his ability, I love SRV but some of the other times he played Voodoo Child it rocked harder, I like this version, but he goes off key once, and missed a note, but it has some good parts in it, I especially like how he says "this is for jimi" beforehand. I just like both Austin city limits versions as well as El mocambo.

[Darkwolfxx88]

Stevie Ray Vaughan was a guitar genius!

[slashhudson]

@Darkwolfxx88 he truly was, a guitar genius.

[omeumaildobwin]

I've never seen nothing like this!

Truly Amazing!

[ChriScms77]

damn...

[2005Silhouette2009]

I love Voodoo
