03 Things That I Used To Do

[wakenbait]

SRV's strumming was incredible... He does a horseshoe strum that gives him two passes for most others single strum. I saw him 13 times, close up, in utter awe of the man and I feel blessed. RIP SRV !!! ; )

[VivaLaPeacecore]

wowo. charley be4 it was painted with white automotive paint!

[sassybeest]

@ About 4:13 He is oozing Sexiness. I've been watching this vid over and over for the past 3 days or so. Not consistently but off and on. I posted it on my FB page and go back and listen and watch. This is Really a Great vid!

[Zepster77]

love this bootleg best ever of SRV and Double Trouble.... because this sounds HUGE and the response from the crowd, when they start to realize THIS IS THE REAL DEAL

[bassangler33880]

Rockpalast shows rule..!



[treeman911]

CRISP!



[deprecationmetal]

i dont know if there are enough words to describe the geniousness of stevie ray....

his guitar playing is virtuosic, emotional, has a great groove. and his guitar sound is incredible. he plays his solos live different every time.

he was, is and will always be an amazing outstanding musician!

RIP S.R.V.

[pisces78mb]

Stevie looks great here!!! how i wish i couldve seen him alive

[mystro810]

Stevie is the best blues guitarist of all time

[MUSESQ]

Yup, the blues may be repetitive, and simple when analysed for structure, but just try playing it like SRV does. We all aspire to chain the phrasing together in a manner that sounds as good as he or EC or Carlos. Few of us ever get there.

[Transterra55]

Why is the freakin' camera man showing the river for so long while SRV is playing such a screaming solo?

[sassybeest]

@Transterra55 ~ Yeah!!! No Sh*t!

[Kenebutch]

@Transterra55 I complained about that too, the damn camera man missed a great solo!

[MegamanXXXManiac]

Someone missed the button Like

[KAR1P3R]

Where is this taken never seen this 1 b4. i have a few dvds of his but not this 1.

[MrBl0nd3]

you can tell he just has fun playing, he truly is enjoying it. alot of guitarists nowadays really need to unclench their arseholes, relax and just have fun with their music :)

[lookjpa]

well, he is one of the god's of guitar that only god sends for us, but that i found negative to say its he sing. I really dont like it ;/

Maybe cuz i dont like texas's voices( i from brazil, lol), but he play so fuckin nice of our.se

[gracewthomas]

srv will always be great just like elvis time less and kick ass , as always

[redmansounds]

This is just unbelievable: monster vibrato, terrfiying skills, unforgettable licks.....JUST AWESOME!!!!

[fattirevsbud]

great video thanks for posting it's such a contrast to see SRV in a deep country side of Germany

[alexhollandmusic]

Spam click 1:13

[abnerfm]

Unbelievable!

[SuperRedneckDipper]

Who the hell would zoom in on a castle during a sick solo???

[diann46]

Love this look on Him He is SO Handsome Always ♥

R.I.P. SWEET ANGEL

Best Blues Player Ever !

All of His Music & Videos are BEAUTIFUL just like Him ♥

Heaven Has the Best Blues Players Ever :(

[Ruagasm]

whoever disliked this is a douche!

[Videowatcher76]

Why does this say 03 ?

[o0olli3ee]

@Videowatcher76  track number

[seanw5055]

Love the crossed eyes then the smile from 1:43

[dionimike]

SRV the best bluesman in the world, and no comments.

[scratchhh187]

Why is SRV dead and Lady Gaga still alive?!?!?!

[kingofthemosh]

@scratchhh187 Because Stevie's music belongs in heaven.

[JohnnyRockerman]

@scratchhh187 Ever notice that all the greats typically die before their time? Thats y people like lady gaga will be around till theyre old, no offense to her. "Artists" like her are a dime a dozen. But guys like SRV are legends that will never die.

[paddie3535]

@scratchhh187 I'd give you 100 gagas and a thousand beibers for one srv

[johnrickerman]

@scratchhh187 because there is no god

[treeman911]

@scratchhh187 Not anymore

[jguem]

@scratchhh187 and why you alive ??????????

[kingofthemosh]

@jguem because he or she, like everyone on earth, is better than lady gaga.

[57dogsbody]

doesn`t measure up to guitar slim, or even pee wee crayton`s version (with johnny otis show).a bit lame!

[youtoober808]

@57dogsbody ..guitar slim and crayton are cool cats but you are full of it!

[mrdavidlopan]

Great vid and great quality but what were the editors thinking cutting to scenery during that blistering solo!

[stoprejectingmynames]

After Hendrix and Clapton, the best guitarist ever.

[ReneLinjer]

@stoprejectingmynames he was even better

[Red40Wings13]

@stoprejectingmynames Page before Clapton any day. Eric is great but Page is a God.

[facubarca]

@stoprejectingmynames After Hendrix only

[sewallm60]

@facubarca yeah right get a life

[facubarca]

@sewallm60 Well, I don´t know which are your musical tastes, but apart from that, as a guitarrist Vaughan is superior in all aspect. =) And thanks for your recomendation, but I do have a life, and till now Im very pleased with it. =)

[walterzoomie]

Goddamn that shit fucking rocks! SRV getting off bigtime!

[chouans35]

He(It) had especially a sacred blow of mediator

he miss us terribly

rip

[kapitol2c]

That man was a great Musician. Hands down one of my fav.

[HighMaintenance2099]

Thank Albert Colins for letting him up on stage at Antones in Austin....

when he was Steve Vaughn

[grga888]

@HighMaintenance2099 It was Albert King, not Albert Collins.

[Srvrlz]

did anybody notice stevies got his mic on a foot switch watch from :50 to :130

[Srvrlz]

@Srvrlz that or its a distortion pedal

[trumpetgod2010]

@Srvrlz That would make sense. Especially since his rig was so loud, I would imagine that there would be a shit load of feedback.

[oldfart4751]

Who's interested in the scenery when Stevie is playing, the producer should have been shot at dawn!

[EddieUV777]

4:00 Drummer looks mad and depressed. Or constipated!

[CptMystery]

@EddieUV777 Yeah, I know right? Chris Layton looks like he has a fat paintball hobbyist lodged up there and is trying to squeeze him out...

Show the respect youngster!

[zelissen]

which effects does he use? Tube Screamer and delay?

[CptMystery]

@zelissen Definitely using uni-vibe pedal to give that swirling hammond b organ sound (a la Hendrix) and his pickups are approximated in the Texas Special pickups that are available from Fender. Beyond that tuning down a half step gives him a more unique tone and bend quality to his strings than most other guitarists...

[zelissen]

which effects does he use here? Tube sreamer, and somekind of delay effect maybe? Really wanna know. So if u do, tell me.

[druuuuu5x]

fukn hate the bullshit view of the the countryside....ruins this video. long live SRV.

[william1theguitarwah]

bloody nice thing on the back of the guitar

[ssil08420]

GUITAR SLIM wrote this song and is the original artist. "I sound like BB King but act like Guitar Slim" - Buddy Guy.

[ejlister]

Wonder if this concert was called "Das Blues" ;P

[jdawg4098]

Oh look. boats.

[MrPireasxios]

RIP i relate to this so much

[Tomd1013]

does he mute his guitar with some pedal whenever he sings? or is he like turning off a boost pedal or something?

[Topnoteboy]

This is a Great cover of Chuck Berry's "Things That I Used to Do".

No one does it better that SRV (similarities to Texas Flood are simply the Nature of The Blues).

[GuitarJackson213]

i think chuck berrys version is a cover to because freddie king plays the song however im not sure who wrote it.

[Hippyy123]

It was written by Guitar Slim, recorded in 1953. An amazing song.

[dd1yr]

It's by Guitar Slim originally, not Chuck Berry

[dizzykrissi]

Well, many slow-blues are quite similar but Stevie plays it a bit differently like he always plays it in another way.

[srvalfaro]

i dont like how this is pretty much texas flood with different lyrics. first time ive ever said anything negative about my idol :/

[grga888]

Not even close to Texas Flood, only thing that is the same is that it is in G, actually F# since he tuned to Eb, but nothing really sounds like Texas Flood, two totally different songs, looking at the intro, soloing, lyrics, outro, etc...

[srvalfaro]

dude he uses the same riffs from the el mocambo version look it up, watch them side by side, they are very similar.

[grga888]

Not even close, compare and you'll see that they are two different songs. You are obviously not listening good or you are not an experinced guitar player so you can't hear it, but it's pretty fuckin clear to everybody, not even close. Only same thing that it is in F#, but that is all. Everything else is different.

[Hippyy123]

Similar riffs, totally different phrasing.

[grga888]

Not even similar riffs, the only same thing is that it is in F# just like Texas Flood, everything else is different: lyrics, intro, solo, outro, rhythm, etc...

[Hippyy123]

Yeah exactly!!! spot on!

[Geepsterr]

grga, Yes the melody is quite different, but forget all that. Though this is blues it is a Major Key agreed ? You named F# which is not wrong but WHY F# over Gb. I know one reason but whats yours? Both possible keys use a 6 figure key signature. Horn players are sure to prefer Gb . In F# Major what do you call the 7th of the scale, also the 3rd of the V chord when it comes around? Don't be afraid to answer. I promise you will learn something.

[Geepsterr]

srvalfaro, Yes very similar You are correct there is many of the same riffs as Texas Flood (el Macambo) and pf course chord embellishments especially the chromatic chord approaches are very much the same. This is another one of the blues tunes that Jimi was known to pull out in a live jam like The Sky Is Crying. There is an audio tape around of Jimi and Johnny Winter jamming the Things I Used to Do but it is more subdued much less gain and fuzz that this, still cool though.

[danimation777]

blues music in general is pretty much the same song with different lyrics and i never tire of hearing it personally i prefer this song to texas flood!

[SRVBASE]

dude!!! its the blues, stevie was a guitar player who had a distinctive style, an awesome style. every song he plays he will use similar riffs!!! thats what guitar p[layers do. the thing that made stevie so special is his ability to phrase those riffs, and play every song different ever time. Every SRV ideol will no this :/

i personally havnt found anything negative to say about my idol srv, im surprised you can watch this and say such a negative thing.

[skippy3840]

@SRVBASE Well said. Just look at him polaying this song and the feeling that he is putting into it. You can tell that he is having a good time himself!! The part at 4:30 was AWESOME!!

[dezrax]

@SRVBASE what a good fucking statement.

[BlackChapelDeluxe]

@SRVBASE Amen!

[gabilxc]

dam i want to see stevie playing, not the fcking town!!!!!!

[grga888]

BTW. SRV was pretty visionary when it came to sounds as well, he was known as a tone fanatic and a guy who played on super heavy strings striking for the best tone ever and he achieved it, also never playing a song the same way twice and his guitar tehnique is JAW DROPPING! He brought something new to the blues, rock and roll, whole guitar playing. We will never see another one like him. A master!

[stardust260872]

that lick he plays from around 2.27 is just spine tingling

[swat7070]

yeah thats like my favorite part haha

[jabberjohn21]

Says it all right here

[789pequignot]

great song

[pablomartinluka]

Stevie Ray Vaughan is the best. he changed it all with technique and feeling, i miss him very much.

[30millioncrabs]

Thangs that I used to do. Lord, I wanna,......do em some more. I aint getting no younger, and I know soon ,....I gotta go.

[singlemumof2]

slim jones would be proud of stevie for that video, and his song for that matter, but blues is feel baby, stevie had bucket loads of it, dig it bucko

[kingofthemosh]

The thing about the songs srv plays is that it doesn't even matter what songs they are. He's one of the few musicians I just love to watch do what he does. I don't even care what song it is.

[jedblack]

just listen to the video on youtube of hendrix, they sound like shit -- he was always mis-hitting notes and just overall was fucking sloppy as hell -- was he creative, hell yes - but his guitar skill were something that needed refinement IMO. SRV on the other hand, most of his stuff was written by others, but his fingers were ALWAYS dead on, I've rarely ever hear SRV missing a note... CLEAN...he is alway clean with his picking and finger placements even when he "flooring it"

[martintheman72105]

dude hendrix pwns your ass

[NOLA2828]

SRV was pretty damn good, but to say he was better than Hendrix, I'd have to disagree on that one . For him to be better than Hendrix , he'd have to revolutionize his genre . That's something that Hendrix did. SRV didn't do such. Hendrix had way more influence than SRV. Some of the things Hendrix has done almost 40 years ago, most still haven't been able to figure out .One thing SRV may have had over Hendrix is hand speed and that's about it. Hendrix changed music. SRV didn't do such a thing.

[sdakotabob]

r&b Nola

[NOLA2828]

I didn't get that reply.What did you mean by that one ?

[Clearly69]

1:10 You can see the energy in his footwork that his music creates.

Awesome...

[vizeck]

Man i just Love the way he starts thhis song... very pashionate and hard core!

i wish i was there, i bet it brought chills down you spine to start the show this way...

[twhittle99]

stevie pulled heavilly from jimi and anyone who disagrees is an idiot steavie claimed over and over that jimi and albert king were his main inflences and it comes through in his playing a sidenote watch stevies feet when he first starts playin funny as hell thats the mojo comin through

[Clearly69]

Agree 100%. The footwork is not rare. The song ( Change It ) has the same footwork towards the end of the vid.

[masonwrestler3]

this sounds exactly like texas flood, it makes me mad

[voodoochild137]

They both are blues in F sharp, this one has more major licks in it though, Texas Flood is almost all Minor Blues.

But yes, very similar.

[KennyParkz]

hmmm realy? i realy cant hear it... .they are completely different...... if you realy study the Blues its different but maybe if your just listening casually i guess.. but then ALL BLUES ARE THE SAME coz they have the same chord structure lol BUT its so damn emotional sounds SOO GOOD!

[kingofthemosh]

Man, Charlie really sounds great in this performance. Such nice sustain on that guitar.

[SRVMOE]

unless you actually saw JIMI live in person...then shut the

F*ck up.....you don't know what you're talking about....

[MrWoloohojian]

Hendrix was just an icon, way overrated. He wasn't even that good of a guitar player. Stevie Ray Vaughan was a far better musician overall.

[justchill919]

yea but jimis musicianship is what vaulted him... straight psychedelic rock

[Haldwing]

a musician isn't judged solely by his chops, hendrix was a visionary as far as sounds go, I agree that SRV is alot tighter but he didn't impact the world like jimi

[grga888]

SRV by his tone, style and passion was definetely ahead of his time, SRV maybe didn't influence the music world like Jimi, and after all Jimi is the most influential guitar player of all time, but SRV is totally right up there with him, he is the most influential white blues guitar player that has ever lived and definetely in top 10 most influential guitar players of all time!

[yooperd]

What a tune, get stuff as always! Thanks for the vid

[METALLICA7757]

stevie ray vaughan is the best guitarist since hendrix and early jimmy page

[aerosmithica]

well put dude

[BigDBlues]

Check out the vibrato. Stevie's is the best I've ever seen.

[bluesman619]

@BigDBlues dude....it's unreal. I've been "strength training" my hands with 13 guage strings for years now, and I still can't manage the control that Stevie had. His hands were a god-given gift.

[BigDBlues]

@bluesman619 You are correct. And even if we could do it, after about 10 seconds your hand cramps up.

[bottom62]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[oldfart4751]

Wanted to watch Stevie, not a bloody river!

[BigDBlues]

I see a wardrobe malfunction with that right sleave, lol.

[Clearly69]

SRV always leaves me speechless.

[Sjjags]

Best SRV song ever. Love is tone, love the overall sound of the song. Amazing!

[fistchips]

Great tone as always!!!!

[thestratlars]

Now that was a fucking GREAT SOLO!!! Personal favorite moments: that SWEET tremolo picked Major sliding lick at the beginning, and those soul-ripping high register bends at the 15th fret. LOVE IT!!

[BigDBlues]

Damn lucky Germans. Stevie is just totally on fire in this show.

[drumrun]

Fucking germans panned on the scenery during that awesome solo, WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING to miss that???? LMAO DAS IST NICHT GUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[danimation777]

"Voll Sheisse!!! dumkopff!!" germany's nice but not worthy of a glance when you've practically got zues on stage tearin holes in the sky with his sound

[kingofthemosh]

I agree that they should've showed him ripping it to pieces, but at the same time, the scenery shot is very fitting because it kind of illustrates how the music is still somehow even bigger than all that space.

[Panzombren]

And now that I'm going through some strife in my life, his music is meaning 'that' much more to me.

I hear so much more in his words than I used to when things were going better.

Compared to all other forms of music: there's definitely something special about the way this man made that guitar sing.

Emotion doesn't justify what his music does for me, he transcends so much I can't put it into words because I'm no English Major.

[GTCH9471]

im totally with you!! rip stevie from vevezuela

[Panzombren]

Every version is different.... I can't tell you how much I enjoy the freestyling he goes through in his music.

My 'only' complaint is that it would take DvDs and DvDs to contain 'all' the different recordings of the same song....

I didn't word that right, but I think you guys know what I mean.

Wish I could own 'every' version of this song, and every song he's come out with.

I guess it's time to look up every live album he's done/etc.

[YaBaBy5000]

dam he can vibrate the hell out of those strings R.I.P Stevie

[fyleckie]

Each one interprets the music in his own way. When I hear some of stevie's licks and solos, it sounds so much like human weeping and wailing and in this way expressing all their pent up pain and anguish. This is why I love the blues, it is such an expressive music, there is so much emotion and longing in it. So much...well soul even though that word is so cliched now. And Stevie is Unbeleivable, he personifies all this in his playing. The level of intensity here, I don't believe can be faked.

[KAZOOU2]

The best doing what he did best. Wonderful, thank you for this post.

[KAZOOU2]

Absolute passion in his music. Every note perfection and filled with soul.

[realmadridvideos]

ohh i like this version great upload !

[kingofthemosh]

Good God, that lick from 2:27-2:36...Nothing to even say...

[MrWoloohojian]

Anyone know what pedal he switches to at the end of the song? Makes it sound kinda like its underwater somewhat...

[grga888]

I think it is most likely a Univibe pedal. I know he used it a lot on this tour.

[MrWoloohojian]

Oh cool. Thanks for the information.

[srvrocks88]

his digitech univibe pedal im almost certaint but im not sure.

[stevieray1000]

By the way The Leslie is the black Fender speaker On top of his Rig.

Check my profile out , i have some vids where im experimenting with the Fender Vibratone

[stevieray1000]

Nope its a Fender Vibratone Leslie Speaker , it the same as the Leslie 16 that was earlier produced later on Fender took the model over.

I have one they are awesome !!!

[andergrx]

Just want to make sure it's clear to everyone else. It was a Leslie that SRV used and what produces that sound. For a long time I thought it was a univibe, but it is an authentic Leslie. The univibe is just a "pedalized" reproduction of that "Leslie" rotating speaker sound.

[andergrx]

To clarify. I was responding to a comment earlier. The Leslie sound is at the very beginning and at the very end of the song.

[electrixladyland69]

Fantastic performance.

There are only two musicians that wow and amaze me each time I watch/hear their performance--no matter how many times I've seen/heard it before:

JIMI HENDRIX and STEVIE RAY VAUGHN.

The passion, the fire, the soul...and more.

Wow...

Electrixladyland69

P.S. First time I've seen Stevie playing this white Strat!

[BigDBlues]

Ohhhh Stevie....the TONE. The power & thunder. The timing, the soul. That voice. Never ceases to amaze.

[imrael13]

are you kidding me.... when I hear people say Hendrix..Clapton.. blah blah blah. open your eyes people one word passion

[imrael13]

p.s. I am a bass player!

[vibra64]

I agree. SRV was the best. PERIOD.

[witchman1]

This is my legacy lol.

[jag12822]

I have NEVER seen such passion...

[andy69fox]

SRV syndrome. Symptoms are basically an addiction to SRV videos and music. Also, every time you hear any SRV music, you want to grab your guitar to emulate the sounds of the blues master himself. Geez, I wish he was still around.. i'd love to sit with him and have him show me some stuff. :( one day we can all have a personal lesson with him :)

[Lehamel44]

Them Germans are lucky b......!

Nice chateau WDR, but it is all about SRV

[fig8slomo]

well, the things that I used to do, I'd be allright to do them some more!!!

[BigDBlues]

OMG....5:05 to 5:13.

[Bluessontlavie]

There's days I think to myself "OK I gotta listen to something other than Stevie today" but noooooo, here I end up again.

[MordecaiKart64]

Haha I know I'm in the same boat

[defjamzbluz]

Guys I have the same problem.

[csi2448]

I'm glad I'm not the only one!

[TheBussy88]

If I could only listen to one track for the rest of my life I would pick this one. The best of the best.

[12gaugeboomers]

how scary is it?stevies got tone and the vocal just icey.have to get this concert its too good

[elwood51]

Great, great video!! There is so much crap on YouTube recorded by some idiot on his cell phone, this one has great video AND great audio. WDR is a tv network in Germany, and I saw a German flag in the audience, so I'm guess that's where this concert was recorded. Thanks a ton!!

[losstoneman]

Live at Rockpalast
