well that does it we know u r in the audience simon cowell someone shut him up lol but it does prove 1 thing that u can be a guitar god like srv and still get booed on stage so if u ever play a gig and get booed ignore the wankers because most audiences are not musically educated and dont know what they r actually booing
killer song and another deication to my dear old man. He sure did shoot in the 8 ball baby.no more handling my money baby, You'll be lucky to catch me after I go to the track , or play poker......Great song....huichol53...
Hey, who is talking such a shit!!! I was personally attending at this concert. There was not booing related to his music. It was one of the best concerts I was seeing ever. Also with Luther Allison and B.B. King playing until 5 o'clock in the morning since the "Swiss" audience, was so fantastic. Never the less, sewall60 has probably newer been live in Montreux!!! The audience is completely international. A lot of Americans. The booing was because of the sound engineering, only.
@scoured62 O.K. then I have to admit it. Anyhow, I don't like when there is a comment vs. the people of a nation when the crowd is from all over the world. About 20 % were from Switzerland. Swiss audience? In front of me was a New Yorker smoking all the time a cigar... Thanks for your good comment. We both still miss this genius. Aren't we?
@scoured62 Do you like Texas Blues in general? I am crazy about it. But I like also the real Chicago Blues with Luther Allison (unfortunately also dead, too many cigarettes...) and of course B.B. King
reason being is that stevie was still unknown then and that day, there were only acoustic blues artists performing, so they werent quite ready for stevies high amplified blues.
Yet they still have no taste, and are very immature for booing someone of stage
It's cool to see how most of the audience stop booing after this killer song... take that, smart asses, this is more than blues, more than jazz, this is the greatest thing you ever heard coming out from a guitar. Thanks Stevie, bless our souls.
to really set the record straight... he was booed yes because it was suppose to be a folk band but this jazz festival was an acoustic festival and setvie was the only one to play accoustic.. thats why he was booed not racsisum and partialy because of the wrong booking
when i play this song once, i really have to play it many more times until my own life tells me i have other things to do... which is a pity. then i go around singing it to myself; what's truly amazing it's realizing that someone has not been sincere nor fair with you, and still write a masterpiece to disappointment (actually i wanted to write i have no words to describe it, but it slipped away) Rest In Blues
The reason that Stevie was booed, was simply because he was white. He was one of the first white performers to perform at the Montreux Festival. The rest were black (as were most of the blues performers of those days).
A few years later, he came back to Montreux, very famous, and people were cheering him. He got revenge by saying something along the lines of, you cheer now, but I remember a few years ago.
@slayerrules114 No disrespect Slayer, but SRV was booed because of a booking error, not because of racism. He was booked on a night of folk music and slow jams. So people showed up expecting Lawrence Welk and ended up with the bleeding fretboard instead. That, and they had no idea who he was.
And not only did he come back, but he headlined the festival.
i didnt heard the booing, but how can someone boo to this god?
man, i think if i was there i would have passed out on the first song. hes a god and every song of him is a masterpiece. he can put so much soul and feel into one note, and hes feel is so amazing.
my favorite guitar player, singer, songwriter and a true hero.
kingofiction. If you judge all Europeans by the behavior of a few drunks, then your ability to estimate is quite small.. I wonder what your wife looks like.
@kingofiction Dude, Europe is not a country. I don't wanna be associated with these idiots that booed Stevie only 'cause I'm an European. I can't believe, despite whatever the crowd's expectations were for this night, that they could actually dislike this. Apparently the crowd was expecting an acoustic session. However, when Stevie enters the stage, you sit down, shut up and listen to what he has to say. This is music history right here.
@Jimi85 I agree. I would have been on my knees begging for Stevie to play had I been able to see the guy on this night. You have good taste in music, sir.
Had the most pleasure to see Stevie in Miami with Jeff Beck. 1990. Incredible. I actually shed some tears the day I found out Stevie Ray Vaughn died. What a shame the way it happened. We all gotta die, but damn...... haha love ya brother man....... we will all try, but we will never be Stevie....
This album was my introduction to blues (guy upstairs played it, had me running to find out what on God's green earth it was), and this song in particular blew my mind. I've been chasing to find virtuosity this good ever since.
Ive got the srv and double trouble greatest hits cd and the live version of this song on that cd is the best ive herd does anyone know when and where that was recorded thanks
This one track stands out alone out of the SRV repertoire. I lost my itunes with SRV included, namely the Couldn't Stand the Weather album. This song was on it and it always intrigued me as to those rapidly strummed chords. When I saw this in Montreaux, he completely outplays the studio version. His tone peels paint off the walls. Its a shame that tone can't kill the idiots booing him. Most of the Montreaux crowd are snobs anyway back then. They must regret it now.
ya i was wondering if that was realy what i hurd when i watched the video!!! Booooing Stevie, aaaahhhhh i dont think so, what a bunch of degeneret inbread looser`s.....Fuck i would give my left nut to be able to go back in time and be there, and maybe smack one of those boooer's!!!lol R.I.P my freind!!
The greatness of SRV, JH, RT and, to name another god, Roy Buchanan is that all of them are one with their guitar and make feeling even more important than their extraordinary technique.
They WERE booing.... Read up on Stevie's account - he said something along the lines of he "didn't know whether to shit or go blind" and that it was the first time he had been boo'd.... Audiences had barely heard of Stevie outside of Texas at the time... They were all jazz fanatics and Stevie was way too loud for them. Stevie was a legend for sure - but not yet at this time.....
Listen to the Tin Pan Alley from Tokyo... they do a reprise at the end, and finish TPA with Dirty Pool - it's one of the best thing's you will hear in your life.
@tommy76blues Granted SRV is absolutely phenomenal that is a rather ignorant statement. So is if I said SRV wouldn't have a soul if it were not for Robert Johnson
2-they were the first unsigned band to play in that festival ever
3- that day, the schedule was supposed to be a soft acoustic jazz evening, but SRV woke them up with this amazing performance,wich of course shocked to most of the people.
still is unbelieveable that someone dare to boo this perfect sound.
3 years later he played again at that festival as the principal guest.
No matter who you crown the "greatest guitar player"; Jimi, SRV, Satriani, Vai, Clapton, B.B. King, anybody... if you listen to their music and not feel anything, then you've totally missed every note they played.
-- SRV Saved Blues from falling off the face of the Earth.
@11tarheelfan Satriani and Vai's 'let's see how fast we can play' leaves me cold. Jimmie used to tease his brother....'you're gonna end up sounding like Robin Trower'. Gotta say though, Stevie was one of the few I could take playing that speedy stuff...he had so much guts, soul and history in his hands.
@clean3 well for you too say that SRV had more soul than Vai.. just leaves me in awe.. Vai is in my oppinion THE most passionate player there is or was. all he is is "guts, soul and history" but Stevie is amazing, there's just no denying that!
@jf4r3w311 yea well thats what he got knocked for but i think his playing is original in its own way, but hes got some good songs, daydream has some of the nicest guitar work ive heard, and his cover of rock me baby is ridiculous...its a shame alot of guitar players don't know of Trower, man had vibrato from another planet hahah
@RuttermusiC Haha...I agree. I didn't mean to say he was copying Hendrix or anything. I just meant to say that he has a similar sounds as Hendrix. He definitely has his own style and is a very unknown and underestimated musician.
@fxtraderwill That's how you tell the real musicians from the fake ones. If they are better live than in the studio instead of the other way around, then you know they're for real.
@MABYLA94 If you watch the montreux 1982 dvd you van find the reason why they boo'ed him. First of all the entire line-up that day was an acoustic line-up. Second of all, the SRV set was so incredibly loud, the day after the sound engineers told each other: let's try to keep the sound levels down a bit, to avoid the same catastrophy from yesterday. Nevertheless, this is one of the best performances I've seen from srv.
what i always find crazy is how this guy not only was the greatest guitarist of all-time (in my opinion), but he also had such an amazing voice to go along with it. he truly makes you FEEL the blues, with both the guitar and his words.
it's nuts that the booing audience has no idea that they are in the presence of sheer greatness.
So the story goes, in Montreux '82 before he became a household name. This was where David Bowie and Jackson Browne discovered SRV. David recruited him to play on Let's Dance, and SRV recorded his first album in Jackson's studio. 3 years later he came back to Montreux to a much warmer crowd.
blown away ever after listening to him for a long time. the second disc to this show is even better. i tuned down half step to try and learn part of this song by ear, so rough....SRV and Allman and Hendrix are the best in my opinion.
If you watch the documentary on the DVD, there were boos as they were playing in between a load of solo acoustic acts. The crowd were not expecting this, however amazing it was. Then 3 years later of course, they returned as headliners.
how could be so much ignorance to his performance i mean jimi had come out and not been such a purist and here he is doing the same thing and getting this response , im so glad he had 85 to get back at these people
I think he was playing at a jazz festival. The ones booing just didn't get it. He came back to that same festival a couple years later and brought the house down.
WOW! I had only heard the acoustic version of this song. This is the first time that I have heard this song with his electric guitar and the rest of the band. Now I am blown away again, this one just got saved to my playlist.
check out the original on Stevie's first album Texas Flood...my personal favorite...there's a level of precision I haven't seen in any of the other versions I've come across, surely since he's playing and singing at the same time and the guitar lines are NOT easy.
Best Blues Ever!! all i have to ask is WHY?? WHY WERE YOU TAKEN FROM US STEVIE? nobody benifited from that. i hope god had one hell of a plan for you if he took you that early! Love you Stevie!!
Truly amazing !! You can clearly hear the drums , bass . But everything else you hear is all SRV going up and down , high and low ..... all that sound just bleeding out from his heart and soul . Why did he have to be sooo goood !! I wish he could have waited till i grew up .
the booing only proves that people normally like music because of a preconceived notion they have of it, no one knew SRV so when he played they booed, but when he was more known and people started to like him he played just the same and people loved him
either that or music taste of the audience radically changed in a few years or he changed his playing completellu (which aren't very probable)
buy the DVD. This is the first time he played at the Montreux jazz fest. The second time there was no booing and everyone loved him. The first time I think just threw them off gaurd and knocked their socks off. Losers.... How could anyone boo SRV? You have to be joking
It was absolute crap he got booed but did you see when he went back to Montreux a few years later? They loved him. This actually was on blues night of the Jazz fest but like previous posters said they didnt know what hit them and they obviously didnt appriciate the shear soul they were hearing and skill they were witnessing
they boed because almost every other act was acoustic slow jazz, or slow electric jazz, stevie came in there and played suttle buttin'.....stevie is amazing they didnt know what hit em
@Metsfan4Lifee yeah, it's just disrespectful. If you don't like it, then leave. Don't boo him. I just think your an asshole if you boo somebody. Just talk amongst your friends about how much you dislike him. Booing is for losers.
AND on top of all taht, if anybody deserves to be booed it's damn sure not Stevie!
article on Stevie in guitar world - (google search this concert as it won't let me post the link) and mentions the concert and getting booed on page 6; his performance is crazy good; and beyond the years of the front row concert goers
article on Stevie in guitar world - (google search this concert as it won't let me post the link) and mentions the concert and getting booed on page 6, it really bummed Stevie and his group; his performance is crazy good, and beyond the years of the front row concert goers
the crows were just pussies. it was the first and last time stevie got booed. the people who booed must feel like shit now to know that Stevie was to become one of the greatest and respected guitar players/musicians of all time, especially in the 80's. they simply didn't know what they were experiencing. they were shocked. they expected average music but what came out was an avalanche of heart pounding music and soul. There was too much talent and they didn't know how to react. RIP Stevie
I'll never understand the booing. SRV gave his heart and soul to these assholes. I heard he broke down and cried over this shit. Not because he was a wussy, but in frustration. He was GREAT.
from what i understand, it was mostly a night of slow acoustic blues before he came on. i guess they got bent out of shape when they were faced with a tidal wave of sheer awesomeness.
yah but then his next album he won a grammy , sold a zillion copies , then went back to play over there ...... they all of a sudden loved him . pffff this song especially he rips it up !! wow !! srv =god of guitar !
the audience was booing after, but they sure as heck shut up while he was mezmorizing them during his guitar solo's. even during the music they couldnt deny he was doing something incredible. otherwise if youre gonna boo boo during as well. anyways like hendrix said onstage one time..."i dont care if you boo as long as you boo in tune" LOL !
@almostsk8er01 It's kinda funny. That was the first place he was boo'ed off stage, and also his first place where he had an encore. lol But such an amazing musician<3
well that does it we know u r in the audience simon cowell someone shut him up lol but it does prove 1 thing that u can be a guitar god like srv and still get booed on stage so if u ever play a gig and get booed ignore the wankers because most audiences are not musically educated and dont know what they r actually booing

@clean3 well for you too say that SRV had more soul than Vai.. just leaves me in awe.. Vai is in my oppinion THE most passionate player there is or was. all he is is "guts, soul and history" but Stevie is amazing, there's just no denying that!

@RuttermusiC Robin has a good style for guitar. I find he's a lot like Hendrix with his sound. Not really as fast but definitely the same definition.
jf4r3w311 1 year ago
@jf4r3w311 yea well thats what he got knocked for but i think his playing is original in its own way, but hes got some good songs, daydream has some of the nicest guitar work ive heard, and his cover of rock me baby is ridiculous...its a shame alot of guitar players don't know of Trower, man had vibrato from another planet hahah
RuttermusiC 1 year ago
@RuttermusiC Haha...I agree. I didn't mean to say he was copying Hendrix or anything. I just meant to say that he has a similar sounds as Hendrix. He definitely has his own style and is a very unknown and underestimated musician.

@fxtraderwill That's how you tell the real musicians from the fake ones. If they are better live than in the studio instead of the other way around, then you know they're for real.

MABYLA94 1 year ago
@MABYLA94 If you watch the montreux 1982 dvd you van find the reason why they boo'ed him. First of all the entire line-up that day was an acoustic line-up. Second of all, the SRV set was so incredibly loud, the day after the sound engineers told each other: let's try to keep the sound levels down a bit, to avoid the same catastrophy from yesterday. Nevertheless, this is one of the best performances I've seen from srv.
thyztwizta 1 year ago
truly amazing.
what i always find crazy is how this guy not only was the greatest guitarist of all-time (in my opinion), but he also had such an amazing voice to go along with it. he truly makes you FEEL the blues, with both the guitar and his words.
it's nuts that the booing audience has no idea that they are in the presence of sheer greatness.

So the story goes, in Montreux '82 before he became a household name. This was where David Bowie and Jackson Browne discovered SRV. David recruited him to play on Let's Dance, and SRV recorded his first album in Jackson's studio. 3 years later he came back to Montreux to a much warmer crowd.

blown away ever after listening to him for a long time. the second disc to this show is even better. i tuned down half step to try and learn part of this song by ear, so rough....SRV and Allman and Hendrix are the best in my opinion.

If you watch the documentary on the DVD, there were boos as they were playing in between a load of solo acoustic acts. The crowd were not expecting this, however amazing it was. Then 3 years later of course, they returned as headliners.

How could anyone possibly "boooo" Stevie? I guess he was just a little too bluesy for the swiss at that time. He was a hero when he went back in '85.

I think he was playing at a jazz festival. The ones booing just didn't get it. He came back to that same festival a couple years later and brought the house down.

check out the original on Stevie's first album Texas Flood...my personal favorite...there's a level of precision I haven't seen in any of the other versions I've come across, surely since he's playing and singing at the same time and the guitar lines are NOT easy.

weblock 2 years ago 3
the booing only proves that people normally like music because of a preconceived notion they have of it, no one knew SRV so when he played they booed, but when he was more known and people started to like him he played just the same and people loved him
either that or music taste of the audience radically changed in a few years or he changed his playing completellu (which aren't very probable)

Iv'e read somewhere that people were expecting an acoustic concert. And that this was the opposite.

buy the DVD. This is the first time he played at the Montreux jazz fest. The second time there was no booing and everyone loved him. The first time I think just threw them off gaurd and knocked their socks off. Losers.... How could anyone boo SRV? You have to be joking
mesaman4202 2 years ago 3
It was absolute crap he got booed but did you see when he went back to Montreux a few years later? They loved him. This actually was on blues night of the Jazz fest but like previous posters said they didnt know what hit them and they obviously didnt appriciate the shear soul they were hearing and skill they were witnessing
mesaman4202 2 years ago 2
they boed because almost every other act was acoustic slow jazz, or slow electric jazz, stevie came in there and played suttle buttin'.....stevie is amazing they didnt know what hit em

The place was full of 80's jazz purists. You couldn't get a worse crowd.
They didn't know what hit 'em when they got a Texan wearing his shirt inside-out, and jeans tucked in his boots.

@Metsfan4Lifee yeah, it's just disrespectful. If you don't like it, then leave. Don't boo him. I just think your an asshole if you boo somebody. Just talk amongst your friends about how much you dislike him. Booing is for losers.
AND on top of all taht, if anybody deserves to be booed it's damn sure not Stevie!

the crows were just pussies. it was the first and last time stevie got booed. the people who booed must feel like shit now to know that Stevie was to become one of the greatest and respected guitar players/musicians of all time, especially in the 80's. they simply didn't know what they were experiencing. they were shocked. they expected average music but what came out was an avalanche of heart pounding music and soul. There was too much talent and they didn't know how to react. RIP Stevie

I'll never understand the booing. SRV gave his heart and soul to these assholes. I heard he broke down and cried over this shit. Not because he was a wussy, but in frustration. He was GREAT.

the audience was booing after, but they sure as heck shut up while he was mezmorizing them during his guitar solo's. even during the music they couldnt deny he was doing something incredible. otherwise if youre gonna boo boo during as well. anyways like hendrix said onstage one time..."i dont care if you boo as long as you boo in tune" LOL !

Well, i saw Stieve at the Lone Star cafe in my early time.
The staff there told me; this is for once for a lifetime. I.E, must have been in 1987, and at the very day that the "Grammy" went from L.A. to N.Y.
So, the place was kind of empty.
Had a good time there, most people in N.Y. were watching it at telivision at home.
Earlyeir, my mother told me to get to see Jimi at Svenska Mässan.
