[allproweb]

He was amazing!!!!!!!

[HmongGuitarPlayer]

If you got to get high to play like him.you better puff puff give!

[BroncoBeast13]

Fucken amazing, I wish musicians today where as passionate as this

[whatupyoism]

In-freakin-credible

[chikisam9]

He doesnt through Tube Screamer. right??

[metalmonkey88]

The lyrics are not, "booooooo".... Shows how much this crowd knows.

[honkytonkwomen69]

Me encanta este tema. Stevie una leyenda de la música y de la guitarra.

[FatFaggot773]

hes high as shit

[Smeller7]

The jazz crowd is very snooty, pretentious.

[zTjReconn]

I don't hear anyone booing.. I only hear people crying cause they can't play as well as SRV.

[toastmal]

their cutting the crowd out of the recording , you can hear it in spots , who wouldnt be cheering ?

[SLASHdaROCKER]

I'm pretty sure that whoever booed Stevie regretted it for the rest of their lives.

[alhnbp]

REAALYYYYYYYY? HAHAHA I LOVE THIS GUY WHAT GREAT BLUES MAN HE WAS

[percussionsensei1]

I heard some woo's, not boo's.

[farq69er]

bet they dont boo now bro fucken pesants anyway

[MasssTR]

that's one fancy ring he's got there

[GuitarBoyA7X]

doesnt sound like anyone booing to me?

[browsemusicvideos]

@GuitarBoyA7X - They did at one point. I have all of his dvd's. The 2nd time he played there he was more famous and the crowd loved him.

[mrsub360]

After nine and a half minutes of that pure amazingness, how could anyone boo? xD

[James91LP]

I think this was where David Bowie saw Stevie play and asked him to play on his Album Let's Dance

[2001imsofly]

how could boo stevie?

[razdemareemusic]

boo this man..... and in comes me with a flying kick to the scrotum of the douche that dares!!!

[eugeniotox]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡­¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[trooper32556p]

As Mr. T would say, " I pity the fools" . This crowd was totally out to lunch for booing SRV even though he was not really a star in 1982.

[bluesdog64]

Supposedly, he was being booed because the crowd wanted to see acoustic blues. But shear talent is shear talent. Regardless of whether or not he was plugged in and loud, the guy was a genius on guitar. So, to boo this performance is ridiculous and stupid. A bunch on A-holes in the audience, if you ask me. Of course, they loved him 3 years later, when it was "fashionable" to like him because he was famous. Here, in 1982, he was a relative unknown.

[Colin2720]

how is this even boo-worthy?

[lmrdjm275]

I didn't hear any boos or anything, then again I got so bored I couldn't watch the whole thing.

[mareath]

Me cuesta entender la situación, se presupone que a la gente que había allí les gustaba la música, y si te gusta la música es improsible no apreciar esto. Es asombroso.

[TheLucaLam]

.. an orgasm

[Solfieriv]

Foda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Steve Ray era incrível.

[gavincorrea]

I pity the crowd...they have to live with the knowledge that they booed SRV...smdh

[Kyle7375]

am i just crazy or can you see coke on the tip of his nose??

[bluesboydude]

@Kyle7375 i see it too O_O

[gavincorrea]

@Kyle7375 You're crazy lol...he was def on something though

[benbasketballgtar]

@Kyle7375 you are crazy its just the shine of the sweat. Yeah he did a lot of cocaine at this time but thats def not coke

[bluesdog64]

@Kyle7375 He didn't snort on stage. According to most accounts, he'd bring a coffee cup on stage with whiskey in it that had coke dissolved in it. I saw him several times in the early days but don't recall seeing a coffee cup. Then again, I was watching his guitar playing and not watching what he was drinking.

[kippmary30]

They just didn't know what they were missing... sad to say. he was and still is the greatest.

[Frydhey]

this is the famous scene where The Thin White Duke who was in the audience discovered him and asked him to play on his Lets Dance album - the reason for the booing as the festival is/was traditionally acoustic.

[ZeppelinFan6980]

Audience before show: "F*** Stevie Ray Vaughan."

Audience after show: "DUDE IT'S F****** STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN!!!!!!!"

ME: "Rookies..."

[437thx1138]

I would have done anything to see this live, and then I see slack jawed yokel fat bobby joe and his other brother larry booing from the audience. Life aint fair. This DVD is awesome. Disc 2 is just as good, same venue several years later. RIP SRV.

[LLMstratocaster]

I can barely gather the courage to play in front of my wife, yet Stevie got up in front of thousands and played his balls off while the house booed and hissed the whole time. That really tells you something about one's talent and courage to be able to do that. I hope he walked off the stage that night with a smile on his face.

[voorhees2711]

Who could boo Stevie Ray?! I guess some f-ing Canadians!!!!

[mdmce1]

@voorhees2711 seriously man? this was in Switzerland, and have you ever seen live at el mocambo? a Canadian concert?

[Chariotz5]

@mdmce1 what about el mocambo?

[GuitarBlues3]

Wow. I had no idea jazz fans had the balls to boo the greatest guitarist ever.

[themusicman1973]

good thing a couple guys who loved this were David Bowie and Jackson Browne...

[jcooper6899]

This, in my relatively well-versed SRV opinion, was my favorite version of "Texas Flood". Sooo much guts. He just plays his heart out, leaves it all out there. And to hear those Montreux folks boo him is just pure ignorance. This guy's talent is beyond description....

[joeyaltman]

Nobody did more w/ the pentatonic scale

[joeyaltman]

Amazing

[joeyaltman]

A-masoning & inspiring for every guitar player!

[black87FXR]

Montreux '82 was some of the greatest live blues footage ever filmed. Stevie played his ass off at this show and those assholes didn't even appreciate it. What amazing talent!!! I was lucky enough to see him live once and I still get sad watching this vid. R.I.P. Stevie- one of a kind.

[Angelfish25000]

The best!

Btw there's a part missing to the video

[lk101010]

what an emotion he involves in his play :) and what a guitar, worn of being loved :)

[rbmeek7]

they were such asshole for booing stevie ray

[tcm554]

@rbmeek7 (some) people were booing because it was very, very loud, and the blues too heavy, the crowd was expecting more "black" blues, usually people like b.b. king would play in montreux for the blues night. The concert was broadcasted live on swiss radio, nobody understood the boos out there listening on the radio, the performance was outstanding. Some people were just no yet ready for this. In 1985 SRV had a big comeback in montreux, everybody would cheer now...

[Stratflip]

Well a couple of guys are getting into it at least haha
