This is so amazing. I will have to get my picture made here next time I go on vacation back to see family in Texas. Stevie Ray Vaughan really made me open my mind up to blues, and made me want to try new things as a guitar player. The first time I heard him was on David Bowie's Let's Dance album, and after that I was hooked. His solos in Cat People and Let's Dance were killer! When I see a Fender Strat he is the only person I think about. Rest in Peace Stevie Ray.
first time i ever heard Stevie Ray Vaughan i was fast asleep ( after working all day ) he was on a late nite show ( cant remember the shows name) his singing & playing woke me up from a sound sleep - i asked my ex WHO IS THAT ? ! he said Stevie Ray Vaughn & i said that is the most beautiful sound that i have ever heard ! !
I live in austin, and through my entire childhood, i've never known who he is, until i turned 15, I finally know who he is, he is Stevie Ray Vaughan, a God in music.
how did I not ever see this one before??? I love love love it...(but you knew I love SRV...sigh...) very well put together darlin'...we miss ya, man...fly on, fly on, my friend.
is that stupid hatesrv guy here again he is such an asshole i mean go somewhere else and anoy people theres a whole nother type of music that you prabably will think sucks called rap, go anoy them, anyway srv is great he rocks rest his soul
fuck hateSRV and fuck the vandals, who disrespect SRV. Fans of SRV, hateSRV and vandals are cock suckers who can't respect the most ledgendary guitarist in the world.
But we can't sit here and complain we must protect the Stevie Ray Vaughan Memorial Statue in Austin from the cock sucking vandals. cause this is texas. the vandals must watch their asses, cause my foot will be kicking them.
hatesrv???he must be little rap retard !!!he isnt on my musical lvl of understanding or music theory or playing or anything to argue with him that stevie ray is best blues player...but hey i can say one thing to him "bitch get out the way"
i hatesrv sux he does not appreciate stevies music beacause hes jealous that stevie was a musical legend, and hes jealous he had a hot girlfreind, he loves stevies music but is to jealous to admit he is the greatest of all time
and rhirhicool many people think god told him he was gonna die i am one of those people there r many reasons y like the day before he died he told his freind about a nightmare he had and the night mare was him dieing and he told his freind dr john somthing nobody knows but him god and stevie but john did say it was so chilling and spooky that he does not want any one to know and he has never told any body and he knew he was gonna die i would not have been scared cuz god told k thats all........
I think he was a very great guitar player. Just a question: are there statues of black guitarists (or musicians)in Austin or anywhere else in the country?
Oh, come on man. SRV did nothing his whole life but try to spread love and use his music to make others happy. Good taste in music? No such thing in my opinion. It's all about what makes you feel a certain way, and if SRV doesn't do that for you and somebody else does, well more power to you. I personally like SRV. Who are you to insult somebody for what they like?
Why can't the helicopter or plane of New Kids On The Block ever go down? It's always the great ones like SRV, Buddy Holly, Skynard,etc. I first saw SRV in S. Padre Island, Spring Break '87. I also saw him open for The Who. I would have seen him 100 times more had I known he'd be gone 3 years later. Sucks!
What a great video. What a shame this guy died. I hear that if you see the shadow of this statue on a sunny day, at a certain angle it shows him jammin. Miss you SRV!!
I think you'll find that Stevie Ray Vaughan died in 1991, not 1990, as we were due to see him the the UK in September of that year and I was pregnant with my daughter, Stephanie Rachel, who was named after him in January 1992. He died only a few weeks before, with Eric Clapton's manager in a helicopter accident out of Chicago.
@StraightRain exactly. Why him, why not lady gaga or bieber! Sorry but it's true stevie is better than the big whole crap of today. Sorry for my bad english i'm dutch :)
@iF3nd3r It's ok I feel the same way. I'm proud to be a Texan as was SRV but I'm embarrassed to be an american with the likes of lady gaga and bieber running about. I may piss off many people by saying that but it's my opinion. RIP SRV

It is the Town Lake Hike and Bike Trail off of Riverside, just past Barton Springs road, just across the street from from the old Palmer auditorium. We used to be blessed enough to see Stevie play out there, back in the daze. It was nice to see Stevie play out there at night with the Austin skyline as a backdrop. That's one of the reasons his statues there.
i know when you mean, i went all the way and couldn't get in to do with the tickets, so my mates and i listened from where the statue right now, and we saw and Big Tommy Shannon him afterwards NO JOKE because we told him we couldn't get in
Thats not just a statue, its a statue of the greatest man ever to pick up a guitar this side of the atlantic. I swear that statue of SRV represents everything Austin and the world has about the blues. Just that statue gives me shivers of how possesed the man it resembles was. god bless hell frekin yea

It's in Austin Texas, Town Lake I think. You might have to ask someone where the statute is once you get into the park. That's what I did some years ago. It was great, I even have a picture of me standing next to this larger than life SRV statue. It's the least I could do after all the pleassure SRV's music has given me and continues to give me. God Bless YOU SRV!
i want to play texas flood right next to the statue c:
