  • I was going to say "the 10 seconds between 2:36 and 2:46 are pure... guitar... genius!" but I wouldn't want anyone to think that I would discount the rest of this opus. It's that those riffs just grab my heart!

  • Comment removed

  • this is the only time i've ever disliked his tone. maybe it's just the video but, to me, it's bright as fuck

  • This is one "supreme" video. =p

  • i know this much i was there standing next to some swiss asshole booing i would have givin them a real quick lesson in american edicit wait make that american upper cut and knocked out cold texas style

  • This video went viral on Bangui

  • The band got boo'ed because the festival --remember-- is a jazz festival. All the blues bands that performed there had all been low-key bands that used minimum amplification not to contrast too vividly with the acoustic jazz groups that set the tone and pace. SRV played full volume, sending a wall of sound out into the audience who responded with loud boos and hisses. Needless to say, this is where, at that moment, SRV was discovered by David Bowie and Jackson Brown. He's now a legend!

  • @odissey100100

    and the most incredible thingi s that SRV is also a jzz guitarist he could blew their mind away with his jazz mastery if he wanted to

  • i try not to get too riled up but it's hard when i think that i was too young to have the honor of watching the man play live, and yet these ignorant people booed such greatness. how do you not revel in it and just become awestruck?

  • @knowyourenemy50 I know how you feel, it's the same for me. I was born 4 years after he died and would've loved to see him live. I read the liner notes for the album and it said most of Europe preferred acoustic-style blues, and when they heard louder electric more American-style blues, they couldn't take it. Thank God for the ears of Jackson Browne and David Bowie, though.

  • All the French queers wanted to hear hotel California and stairway to heaven. Great songs, don't get me wrong. But SRV was just so much better than em' all. That's why they boo'd him off stage.

  • now if anybody did sell their soul to the devil to become the greatest blues guitarist in the world... it was Stevie....

  • aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaawww ma gaaad!

  • god bless you man

  • 15 crazy

  • they boo'ed Stevie Ray when they realized the best guitar player in the world was an American from Texas.

  • @Karu617th i fuckin' love that!

  • Who in the HELL would boo SRV off stage !?! The crowd at this gig did not know a blues great when they heard him play, it seems.

  • @steinkopf100 he was there for a acustic nite but i agree

  • Another musical genius who died too early in life...

  • Stevie is greatest musician of our time!

  • No importa el calibre de sus cuerdas si no la magia de sus dedos y la sencillez del músico...

  • You know you're watchin' someone special when almost 8 minutes feels like 2!!!!

  • whats up with the hippies?

  • what does he do in that chord progression from 1:27 to 1:35?

  • @515wsj There's a great tab for it on ultimate guitar.

  • @trumpetgod2010 thanks, I've already looked at a bunch of tabs on the internet and they all say something different. i have tried watching his hands in the video too but the camera angle isnt very good...

  • 14 people need to go fuck themselfs up the ass

  • @smileyguysguitars

    Grow up

  • this was stevie's first performance at Montreux. he was later booed off the stage. fuckin assholes. but he came back a couple years later and kicked everybody's ass!

  • terrible camera i just want to see the badass guitar! PS; whered his cig go?(LOL)

  • terrible camera i just want to see the badass guitar!

  • @Jessrama agree!

  • @CLOWNvsMIME it's funny, i have the dvds but disc1 is on disc2 and disc2 is pn disc1. I wondered why it was only $10. Still, it was a great deal, i'm happy. Get it if you haven't seen it SRV fans, it will blow your freakin' mind.

  • @mOs4114 I am going to hunt it down now. =) I just bought a double dvd set of the doors & it is mixed up the same way lol.

  • the sky is blue because of SRV

  • @dickran2142battle The sky is crying because of SRV.

  • best performance of either song I've ever heard.

  • any1 who digs this i advise you to buy the live at montreux '82 and '85 on dvd and crank it up!!!!!!! i assure ya you WILL NOT regret it=)

  • Ok, I have to agree. The hippies grooving in the crowd at the end is definitely funny. And as far as the 14 (as of this post) people who didn't like this clip, as my brother in law would refer to anyone who "doesn't get it" , they are the great unwashed. Lets just be happy we're not them. Spread the love, its all we can do.

  • He's eating the guitar !!!! :D :D :D

  • thanks for fucking John Mayer's mom

  • How much would i have to pay for a guitar that sounds at least half as good as Stevies? Please respond guys.

  • @metlahead6-Stevie's sound wasn't in his guitar so much as his brain and fingers if he played a $100 Squier-that was properly set up(Important!)-he'd still sound like Stevie Ray Vaughan-If you want to sound 'half as good' as Stevie, 1) Get some lessons from a good teacher, and 2) Most important- Jam, Jam, Jam! with other players-Good Luck! (I've got 35+years of playing, teaching, and repairing guitars) As far as gear goes, a Strat(Mex or Squier/copy) and a good modeling amp should get you close.

  • Sorry for the double post

  • @metlahead6-Stevie's sound wasn't in his guitar so much as his brain and fingers if he played a $25 yard sale special-that was properly set up(Important!)-he'd still sound like Stevie Ray Vaughan-If you want to sound 'half as good' as Stevie, Do 3 things 1)Jam, 2)Jam, 3)Jam - with other players-Good Luck! (I've got 35+years of playing, teaching, and repairing guitars) As far as gear goes, a Strat(Mex or Squier/copy) and a modeling amp(EG Line 6) should get you close without breaking the bank.

  • @jambre1 thanks for the advice, i'm getting a mex strat as we speak and will follow your guide, hopefully something comes out of that :)

  • @metlahead6 -Glad to do it, I've seen too many players(including myself!) spend too much time and effort on the gear instead of the playing.... Good Luck!

  • 14 people was a noob guitarist

  • Everytime that I listen to this one, it gets better and better.

  • 14 people listen to Jazz

  • 14 Bieber fans watched this and disliked it !!

    if Stevie were here he'd so smash one of his guitars

    over Bieber's head !!!

  • @thatrandomdude007

    He wouldn't though would he? Since Stevie wanted love to be spread, he'd probably just respect another's taste in music.

    Lets just be quiet about Bieber and respect SRV as one of the greatest guitar players to have the Earth

  • @clongprong ur hi as shit

  • @LedZeppelin420x I'm so high I could hit a giraffe with an uppercut. What's your point??

  • wow wee....what a fucking sound for a trio dude..great drums

  • YEAH WOOH

  • 14 people were actually in a rude mood...

  • Blues the fuck on!!!!!!!!

  • I wish I could even pretend to be that relaxed when playing.

  • does anybody know a good plastic surgeon

    my face became disfigured at 4:46

  • Only Stevie Ray Vaughan could get away with playing a song inside another song

  • TNT Live - BANE GT BAND - Stevie Ray Vaughan best cover !!!!!!!

  • 14 Dislikes? Are you kidding me?? How can ANYONE not like this, or him for that matter??We are sooo lucky he shared his wonderful talent with us, he is sadly missed...

  • You're all too stupid to be allowed to listen to this guy. Best. Worst. Mediocre. All just subjective labels. I personally think he was the best ever. You may think otherwise. But you are a fuckin idiot, so who cares. The man is gone. Revel in what he left us

  • @EricThompson1965 bla bla bla....SRV was great PERIOD

  • @EricThompson1965 i think you know when someone is bad and when someone is better than another, and srv was somewhere in the 50-60 on the 1-10 guitar skills scale.

  • @flashlight067< I agree wholeheartedly with your score. Only saw him live once, but the man was astounding. Even tho he closed a 12 hour blues festival with Riviera Paradise (A bit too mellow for a guy who was tired, stoned, and a bit drunk. A tune like the above would have given me a bit more pep for the trip home) But I consider myself a VERY lucky man to have observed the master in his milieu

  • BUY THE WAY WE DO LOVE STEVIE VERY CLEAN PLAYER NEVER MADE A MISTAKE I ALWAYS ADMIRED HIM FOR THAT

  • @Juniorhooker For starters boy, I was roped into this arguement by YOU! I have no idea what you and Jessrama are arguing about and I don't care to find out, I couldn't give two shits. You obviously have nothing better to do than spam a video of SRV with comments about your friend. Wait a minute, your friend. Hmmm...do you know the meaning of biased?

  • @Juniorhooker No, you dragged me into this before I said you were lying. And if you can't promote yourself here, then go somewhere else because otherwise you are just wasting time.

  • STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN is AMAZING in Everyway shape & form ♥♥♥♥♥♥

  • 13 idiots didnt like it, what bad it must be to be deaf

  • @Juniorhooker Je ne vous ai pas de commentaires sur ma chaîne. Pourquoi m'avez-vous rue du votre? Come on, Roley. I know it's you. I'm not a complete idiot. Je ne suis qu'à demi stupide. Vous jouez de la guitare très bien - pas aussi bien que Stevie Ray Vaughan. Arrête de dire des mauvaises choses sur lui. You should have some respect for the deceased.

  • @Jessrama 'Fraid so. I've been going round and round with Roland for just as long (months). If you go back through the comments on this page, you can see how long I've known of him. you cane tell its roland cuase he cant spel an all hes comentts are like this bad gramer an no peroid he dont no how too tok. Glad to see I'm not the only one who doesn't appreciate his nonsense. Peace to you neighbor!

  • this is a really sad concert for stevie at the time, people bood at him and he thought his carreer was over but then davidf bowie saw him and thought he was REALLY good and then he did make it BIG but this cunts of people who where sitting there need to die haha

  • and to think he got booed off the staged at this show only to come back a few years later and rock the house out :)

    hats of to S.R.V. may you rest in peace you are greatly missed

  • That cigarette is soooooooooo cool ;)

  • The cigarette gets smaller as he plays...then at 5:13.........it's gone

  • @ChiefManjaro

    I know eh .. he finally saif phuck'it and swallowed it ... he's amazin!!!

  • The drummer could at least look like he's enjoying himself! lol!

  • only stevie can rock the cigarette during a fast tempo song like rude mood

  • Tommy is a great player also. I never thought he got much credit having to play in SRV's shadow. That's a tough shadow

  • I don't like smoking....at all - but it looks cool with Stevie who hangs it out of his mouth while he twangs the hell out of some rockatious blues when he wants or .... just wants a nice dry sound in this recording. SRV - RIP ---> God called you too soon....maybe He was making a lineup change in his band and needed one of his best guitarists to step in.

  • a hellicopter killed the blues...

  • The reason they were booing was on a documentry on T.V i saw recently, they were booked to play at the last minute and ended up with a spot that was predominantly acoustic so it was a bit of a shock to some of the audience as they were not there for hard rock!! Still assholes for booing a legend.

  • I like your music my friend,Bless your Day

  • Granny ash at 3:56

  • Only SRV could play one of his own songs IN THE MIDDLE of a FREDDIE KING song and get away with it!

  • Tell me, did Rory and SRV ever collaborate? The "Live at Montreux" series of shows, seems to really bring "it" out on both these boys.

    Between Rory's "Bad Penny" and this SRV vid, I can't choose which is better.

    AWESOME!
