  • 3 people need to be thrown in front of a firing squad...

  • Only Stevie Ray Vaughan could do such a fucking awesome version of Voodoo Child and it still be an outtake.

  • @sp1naway There was nothing racist in what I said- He IS white and he IS uncool- fact, not racism.

  • @sp1naway There is no need for anyone to dress up as Hendrix ape his moves and embarrass themselves. What about originality? Vaughan should have stuck to playing worn out, dated, repetitive and unimaginative blues like every other uncool white boy.

  • @sp1naway He meant play his albums not do an embarrassing parody that serves only to mock his memory.

  • @sp1naway Jimi spins in his grave every time someone plays a SRV video. Vaughan insults the master with far less panache than I use to mock you needle-breath.

  • @sp1naway Yes I have lots more assumptions about you for instance that you possess a micro penis and you prefer having sex with you father rather than your mother because your Dad's more gentle. I also assume that you are deaf, bald, fat and of extremely low intellect. The only thing I dont assume about you is about your taste in music- I KNOW you haven't got any.

    Baaaa baaaa baaa

    You are the one who needs to watch Hendrix videos sizzle chest, not me.

  • @sp1naway Stevie put the ASS in texASS. I enjoy mocking him, why would I stop doing something I enjoy? Save your advice for the rednecks in your trailer park. You sound like a lamb bleating in a storm drain.

  • @sp1naway You are barking at passing cars in the pissing rain mate.

    I don't order you to stop worshipping lactating hermaphrodite fags from Texass , so don't tell me I can't mock them when I feel like it.

  • @sp1naway It's like watching a man regurgitate a beautiful meal. A poor copy of a Rembrandt in children's crayons. LIke watching my fat old uncle Frank pretending to be Elvis when he's drunk.

    Only thing I don't understand is why didn't vaughan go all the way and black up? He could have got an afro wig and drawn a little moustache to.

    SRV- always a billion miles away from Hendrix but far too dim to realise.

  • @tony9L9L I got to meet Stevie at Farm Aid 2 in the 80's. Stevie had the utmost respect for his influences. I think Stevie paid great respect to Hendrix on this song while including abit of himself into it. I Taught guitar for over 10 years and I can say without a doubt the most request was for Stevie. A professor of music at U of H "that I played with" once told told me,"the definition of a person who is tone deaf is defined as, a person who doesn't like Stevie Ray Vaughan. check out my band

  • @12thstreetgypsysbass Only someone bloated by their own deluded arrogance attempts pointless reworkings (dressed up as 'homage') of the Seattle maestro's work. Only a fool would hang his pastiche of the Mona lisa next to the original and say it was as good and not a sad parody by comparison. Perhaps Vaughan (spurred on by his own obvious self-loathing) was too drugged up to notice how embarrassing his ham fisted stratocaster strangling was compared to the great master? I suspect so.

  • boring ham fisted clumsy tribute act.

  • I Wished Clapton gott it that day SRV FTW!!!

  • This is Stevie at his best!!! No doubt a beautiful sight for those in attendance!!! You are truly amazing SRV. CLS UR2!!!

  • Filthy, disgusting, dangerous, glorious music- Tone, virtuosic technique, and soul wrapped into something not of this world- I can't even take this. There is so much going on here, I am literally stunned.

  • Jimmy who? lol

  • Tous simplement la meilleur version de Voodoo Child , un pure bonheur de plaisir.........

  • PBS didn't let this on the reg show because they knew lots of kids where going to be watching this, through no fault of there own, as Dad or uncle is watching, and they didn't want massive protest letters all saying " my 4 year old little Johnny has been running around yelling "Im a voodoo child, yea IM A VOODOO CHILD!!!"

  • Best Version Ever And i mean Ever!!!!!! Want to see more Come to my Tribute Page

  • How could 2 people dislike this? What the hell is the world coming too? This is the best electric blues player ever doing possibly the best bluesy rock song ever and killing it!

  • check out roland duguay voodoo child on the street with a ten watt amp just imagine with a couple of marshall stacks anyways wicked juxt the same

  • Unique SRV version (all he made was unique !) : very rock and distorted, close to Hendrix fuzz sometimes, with unnusual amount of effect from 5:10 to 6:10. Impressive number of back and forths on pup switch and pots wiht his right hand from 0:50 to 1:30 ! LOVE IT !

  • i also have to comment on Austin City Limits for catching the best footage ever...

  • can anyone touch him, really? I mean really... no one comes close.

  • Jimi Hendrix EAT YOUR HEART OUT!

  • His timing is amazing, Always pushing but on the beat. No such thing as better guitarists, but Stevie ray certainly has better timing than hendrix in general.

  • Comment removed

  • 1 bieber's fan...

  • z. wylde, slash, yngwie, steve vai, and satriani have all played this song but none of them do this justices like stevie ray,

  • @BLACKHAWK2020 hey man u can check out my version but im playing it buy myself on a ten watt amp on the street it wails enjoy check out blues guitarist in ottawa

  • Another example of Hendrix pure genius to create this song. This said SRV is not only one of the greatest blues guitarists, he is one of the greatest electric guitarists period, this is rock and he rocks at it. I use the present rather than the past tense because as far as I am concerned, while I can still listen to and watch these guys (any deceased musician) then they are immortal

  • Holy crap! What was he doing to that poor guitar at 5:42?!

  • @TheKogunEnjou

    Nr. wasn't a guitar to Stevie, it was a part of him.

  • @TheKogunEnjou ha... LOOK up 3rd stone from the sun, then you'll see what he did to that "poor guitar" lmao.

  • @Bluestouse86 Yep, I've seen it. I assume you mean his show at El Mocambo specifically.

  • this is the most raunchy nasty version of voodoo chile i have ever heard srv play just awsome

  • This is the best version of Voodoo Chile I've ever heard. PERIOD.

  • 4:49 That was SO Hendrix!

  • @AlexisGuitar94 lol well the song is by hendrix so what would you expect XD

  • @stinkymlinky The song was by Hendrix, but Stevie uses to play his own licks

  • EPIC!!!

  • in the words of famous WWE wrestler "The Texas Rattlesnake" Stone Cold Steve Austin. "IF Y'ALL THINK SRV IS THE GREATEST GUITAR PLAYER EVER, THEN GIVE ME A HELL YEAH!!

  • @clikcerticker FUCK YEA

  • how does he get that much gain without the amp squealing like hell?

  • @robdorg its all in the muting

  • @robdorg It also helps using the mic closest to the neck. Doesn't pick up as much feedback as the one closest to the bridge. :)

  • @robdorg its kinda hard to do, since he is using a fuzz face in this performance. he doesnt let up thru the whole song, constantly changing the signal with constant playing. If he ever lets up he'll get a ton of feedback.... notice the feedback from 7:12 til the end of the video

  • I agree w/ Monkey KingNick is this is an outtake the one they went w/ must be off the charts!!!!

  • I believe they made a video from 2 performances on Austin City Limits. They had to pick which versions of songs were better from the 2 performances cause only one version could be on the video. They just chose the other one over this one. Other one is great too, but I think this is better.

  • i really dont want to offend jimi(we all know he is the first who actualy PLAYED the electric guitar) but stevie got it to another level!! he is the man!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • AMAZING TONE!!!!!!!! :D

  • why did they take this out? because he messed up a lyric?

  • the only way you can play like that is if you remove the thought process from playing. Some how Stevie managed to rewire his brain to express emotion through his hands, and fortunately for all of us, they knew EXACTLY what to do...

  • He had so much soul in his play & performance. good bless you. In love

  • probably one of Stevies best performance ever

  • PLENTY of gain on this one! It's like 2 tube screamers, plus a fuzz, plus the crunch coming out of the amp, PLUS HIS HANDS... SICK!

  • one tube screamer, one fuzz face, one octavia.

  • Yeah,when he cleaned up his playing became more focused...with less relying on excessive funky riffing and more to the point with more variety/dynamics.

    He expanded his tonal range and I think his clean and sober Voodoo Childs were markedly better after he cleaned up.

    The fuzz is sick,it's cool how how he utilizes the whole range from jangly to fuzzy here.

  • I don't think they were better; just different. He was definitely a lot more able to do all of the things he wanted to techinically when he was sober, but the drugs and alcohol, as destructive as they were, added a certain funkiness and flair that he didn't (or didn't seem to) retain after he sobered up. Yeah, he was as technically sound, but I think the booze added a little character and creativity to his playing.

  • yeah I agree with your point to a certain extent but when i look at a performance like this when stevie was sober i tend to think to myself nah who needs drugs?but when i listen to my own bands live performences while im fucked up on drugs i seem to do things on guitar that i usually wouldn't dream of sober and it adds more creativity and spontaneous'ness if that is a word,to our shows and that's not necessarily a bad thing either.

  • The drugs/mojo myth needs to be put to death for good. Virtually ALL of the greats played much better when they were clean, and MOST of them would still be with us if they'd ignored the peer pressure that accompanies the heavy rock environment. By the way, Stevie was clean as a whistle when he recorded this Austin City Limits show, and remained so unitll his death.

  • he did a lot more improvisation and extrapolation on songs when he was on drugs. his sound is tighter here and on point, but much more loose and creative when he was on durgses. check out voodoo child from pori jazz festival or from montreux in 85 (i think(.

  • do you really have asperger's? i have a good reason for asking.

  • No, it's my fucking second name... What's the reason?

  • Because I have an obsession with the SRV version of this song that probably borders on Asperger's Syndrome.

  • I thought you were tryin' to be mean! :D

  • Oh man...seriously though, anyone who is mean to people with Asperger's or any other neurobiological illness is fucking twisted and diseased.

    Glad that got sorted out...hey robdorg :)

  • Who's following who's conversations now? :D

  • Man I actually have mild aspergers and I'm obsessed with it. Like learn it note for note, but I don't think the syndrom has anythign to do with the concentration in both of our cases - we both jsut had SRV syndrome. Cuidate!

  • hehe its a bit diferent from stevie used to play and in some parts is guitar distorcion sounds like a caT lol He must have a "cat" effect pedal xD But AWESOME as allways stevie

  • esageratoooooo stevie ray è la leggenda del blues

  • he ias a legend.

  • Who? You? Douche!

  • i like how everyone thinks you were talking about stevie.. obv you werent

  • Oh. I couldnt figure out what they were so pissed about lol.

  • i was talking about some faggot posting crap, not stevie.

  • Stevie stands toe to toe with Hendrix on this one and then goes ape shit! Can you imagine making the decision of what foes into the show and what doesn't?

    Shit, they shouldhave shown EVERYTHING, there are NO out takes.

    I couldn't begin to imagine what Stevie would be doing now, or what new material he would have released...

    "If I don't meet you no more in this world Stevie

    then uh

    I'll meet ya on the next one

    And don't be late

    Don't be late"

  • i hate stevie ray vaughan. i will never be that good.

  • Man you love him really!

  • yeah

  • i really think he sounded like jimi in this one

  • He sounds like Jimi till 5.00 and then Stevie goes APE SHIT! He rocks big time!

  • this sounds nothing like hendrix.

    the rhythm and phrasing are completely different.

  • I never get tired of watching S.R.V. play or sing.

    '' I'll see you in the next world, dont be late."

    xox

    Terri:)

  • In my opinion he, was the second generation guitar god.

    First being Hendrix, then SRV, and I believe the torch has been passed to John Mayer. Stevie was amazing, we'll miss you Stevie!

  • no, it hasn't been passed on to john mayer. i ahve to strongly disagree here. jimi was just the best innovator to rock and stevie was an open channel of limitless energy. once they started playing it would only get better and everything was so natural and effortless.

    in mayer's case, he is obviously struggling to get better and he is very easily distracted by his audience (especially screaming teen girls). he may be very good but he is still centuries away from the master's skills and blues.

  • god your right man you put it so well there,mayer can play but he is not an endless flow of raw blues energy and talent.jimi and stevie were like streams of water at the start of the show but over time they developed in to raging rivers or in jimi's case a ''waterfall''.

  • Yeah, I hate how nowadays that all these girls think songs like Bold as love and Lenny are Mayer originals. I was going through the radio like a month ago and I heard "Tick Tock" the song from SRV and his bro playing only to discover it was Mayer singing it. I was so mad

  • P.S. Check out Eric Tessmer here on youtube. He's from here in Wisconsin near where SRV passed on, but he lives in Austin, Texas now. Always puts on a huge show. The guy is so damn fluent

  • I think Joe Bonamassa is way better than Mayer, he's good, but I think Joe has more talent and soul than Mayer will ever have.

    The torch is in the hands of Joe and John has had a glimps of it. :p or something.

  • FRUSCIANTE, YOU MASSIVE DOUCHE

  • Good Lord, he's eating the guitar here. Brutal.

  • this is his second time at austin city limits.he had stop drinking by then, i got this show on dvd it's his best ever

  • ffs how is this an outake ??? SRV is on fire !!! brilliant !!! we miss you stevie !!!!

  • You're right, how can this be an out take! The man makes it look so easy doesn't he. I was lucky I got to see him play once.

    Fucking helicopters, I hate the bastards of things.

  • you could learn how to play guitar professionally from watching this video alone.

  • @iaedean - And if you added Texas Flood from El Mocambo and Joe Bonamassa Blues Deluxe 2007, you'd have a Blues Master Class. You wouldn't really need anything more.

  • the ending is breathtaking!!

  • i came

  • Wow, this is the best I've ever seen Stevie--clean, sober, and totally on top of his game. I can't *believe* this version was cut as an outtake!

  • The King.

  • can you get this on dvd somewhere??

  • I would also like to know.

    This song and a few others are missing from the ACL DVD, and I'd like to add them.

    Where can these 4 or 5 missing songs be located and purchased?

  • yeah its in the stevie ray vaughan box set that looks like the back of his guitar

    you can get them at Amozon( Dot) Com

  • yeah its in the stevie ray vaughan box set that looks like the back of his guitar

  • Semms like he was having some problems with his Fuzzface.Killer Version!

  • whats wrong? sounds good to me

  • I think he was having problems getting the sound he wanted by the way he kept messing with it.I was just guessing.

  • excelente versión!

    Sin palabras, es Stevie..
