Night Music-Stevie Ray Vaughan-Sailing Shoes

[shredmaster100]

never knew he played with bowie cool and do u like rap music i think we know the real answer nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RevGuitarzilla79]

An interesting take on the little feat classic. I like this version

[iburl]

SRV should have been front and center instead of hidden by the drum riser. His solo/playing was awesome.

[hvymlclm]

the back up singer on the far right is Maria Mckee. she was the singer of lone justice. her step-brother or family member (can't remember the connection) is bryan maclean of Love.

[toekick1]

Thank you, These vids are outstanding.

[cletistheslackjawedy]

little feat,lowell george seen them in boulder in 74.i thought who is this crazy guy?

[santafecard]

Totally crapped myself. Had never seen this before.

[mpgunn]

David Sanborn live....This is great ......Lowell meets SRV...Dream come true.......SRV has this down

[wisesatyr72]

its all Albert King riffs w/Stevie

[5507156693]

@wisesatyr72 Wrong! He was a Hendrix clone...sometimes called a Hendrix wannabe. Maybe Albert King stole his riffs from the One and Only Greatest Ever Jimi Hendrix, may God rest his soul

[wisesatyr72]

@5507156693 Maybe when people are digging SRV in reality they're liking Hendrix but dont want to admit since he's Black, but SRV paid his dues and he has his own thing going which is raw honesty and a transcending all that pure blues feeling, Hendrix is untouchable, but SRV is a saint of the blues flame, that is for sure..RIP SRV

[5507156693]

@wisesatyr72 My comment was pure sarcasm but you seem to have taken it seriously. I cant believe that in the year 2010 someone will come up with "Maybe when people are digging SRV in reality they're liking Hendrix but dont want to admit since he's Black". The few SRV haters I've met were white male ferocious Hendrix worshipers. Hendrix's never been my cup of tea and I don't believe in the best- ever-crap but nobody despises racism and racists more than I do

[5507156693]

@wisesatyr72 If you'd excuse me, sir... would you, please, be kind to share with me what exactly in my civil reply maddened you so much that you seem to have forgotten to spell accurately?

[SaratheSlytherin]

@5507156693 I probably despise racism and racists just as much if not more... I don't know you... but I hate hate hate racists :) Glad to see I'm not alone, though, because there is a LOT of racism out there. It makes me so sad :'(

[5507156693]

@SaratheSlytherin I travel a lot around Europe where you have the whole package: racism, xenophobia, intolerance toward everyone who's "different": Gypsies, Africans, Asians, gays...even the handicapped. People hurting people all the time. And the 21st century was supposed to be the “Age of Aquarius” in the best sense of the term, lol

[SaratheSlytherin]

@5507156693 that's a shame... people who suck everywhere you go.

What part of Europe and when? I just got back from Spain, and most people were friendly and kind... but I'm not saying you're wrong. Just curious. I think that everywhere people are just angry and looking for a scapegoat. So sad :(

[rotano]

Stevie nailing every single note.

[resacarat]

What's a cocoa tree?

[Featster74]

@resacarat The actual lyric is: "..a Cocaine tree." The song was written in 1972 by Little Feat singer/guitarist/harmonica player the late Lowell George for the album "Sailin' Shoes". They should have had a vocalist singing the song, not backup singers. Maybe SRV didn't think he could sing the song well enough? Not that he wasn't a soulful singer in his own right...

[SaratheSlytherin]

@Featster74 The backup singers are great but I think that a primary vocalist would have distracted attention from the guitar playing... the guitar playing stands out any time, but primary vocals would be a bit "much"... no flames please! Just my opinion

[ZJProz]

This was a great...music showcase.....Night Music...

[craignkzoo]

Wow! great to see this group of musicians collaborate on a classic Little Feat tune! great stuff, thanks for posting!

[sitarbob]

Speaking in Eskimo dialects... arugula... radio controlled cars...

[sitarbob]

[Islwynpaul]

Van Dyke Parkes on keyboards playing on a song written by the genius who was Lowell George. Doesn't get any better.

[mikeyaaa]

I like this song because it isn't Stevies usual type of song. But he is just does it so well.

[srvinfinity]

I loved it when Stevie ends his solo on a high ping note and the sax player picks it up from that. Awsome!

[ultraslowhand]

The backup singer who looks like Chaka Khan is (I believe) Lani Groves

[Bluezking]

I can hear that tone n took me some time to find him among the crowd.

[1Doz]

God bless America!

Who cares if we use half the world's resources when we give the world music like this.

[SRVblood]

its funny everyone lookin at stevie right after the song, thats cool

[seahorse5050]

thing about stevie he knew music and talent when he absolutly seen it ????????????????

[ChrisDan915]

how could you NOT give this 5 stars?

[EggTheBox]

I know stevie from years and i still listen him, but I still cry for his live performances..Thank you so much

[alvarogc128b]

por que tienen que morir los grandes talentos de forma prematura :( SRV RIP

[garbeaj]

That is Maria McKee from Lone Justice with the long brown hair-It is not Chaka either-these are a bunch of session people-of course the late,great Hiram Clarke on guitar...

[rgurdal]

Hiram Bullock, not Clarke.

[garbeaj]

Absolutely right! Don't know what I was thinking:)

[dudyherbek]

what is this from? srv, luther vandrose, chaka khan, david sanborn, and some other people that if some would point them out to me im shure i would it would be clear who they were.

[garbeaj]

Not Luther...the black dude and the blonde are James Taylor's back-up singers...

[m2885the4th]

LMAO at the end when stevie was talking bout his favorite things

he was such a cool guy.

RIP

[oldsoftee]

This is simply amazing!

[MordecaiKart64]

this is awesome footage, but MAN nobody can fill gaps like Stevie could

[gimickuk1]

Amen, but he was also so generous to other musicians and allowed them to shine...

Gotta love SRV...

[uninoculated]

badd.

[jayscott49]

That's Van Dyke Parks too, produced Randy Newman's first record and bunch of other great stuff, bet he arranged this.

Is that Chaka Khan too?

[ultramegadudesupper]

great version!

[JIMFISHES1]

What a lineup!!!!!!!  I wish they'd bring this show back, it was tough for musicians to see it because the air time ran against our gig time........ the DVR would've been great back then.

[steira21]

wow cool,

david sandborn jamed with stevie - great stuff

[flexman22]

never seen this clip before. Man thanks so much! for sharing! I LOVE IT!

[louiseduvee]

God, I never heard this. Thanks for posting, I never knew he did this Lowell George song.

[srvinfinity]

The very end with Stevie's favorite things is priceless. Makes me want to stock up on arrugalla and ducktape. Oh....Man! This started with coal and ended up diamond.

[studiojim]

I have 30-40 episodes on VHS. I'll have to dig them up and figure out how to post them. Best Music show ever.

[3shiftgtr]

Yes! The best music show ever on commercial American t.v.. Integrity, diversity, art, everything. I'd tape it and then come home from whatever gig I did that night and watch it. So many great moments.

[JIMFISHES1]

Please show them and thanx for doing so.

[ArkRed1]

Who's the chick in the black dress and the big necklace abd the spaced out look. She rocks too.

[Zebatar]

Just seems odd to see Stevie being part of the band and not the focal point.

[ArkRed1]

Who's the hot blonde vocalist in the blue jacket. She rocks!!!

[brucethehack]

I believe that's Rosemary Butler. And you're right: she rocks!

[Markgr122]

Maria McKee from Lone Justice

[kdw456]

Is that Chaka Kahn in the backing vox?

[rob140138]

Wow! Rosemary Butler, Arnold McCuller on vocals with the great SRV! Not to mention the amazing Night Music house band. One of my all time favorite shows. Please keep the vids coming, chances are, we'll never see a show like this again on commercial TV.

[danimation777]

srv is like the perfect synthesis between grace and power black and white and dare i say good and evil

[fhrussell]

Wow! Van Dyke Parks on Keys, Maria McKee on Vocals!! and w/ SRV!!! I used to catch this show whenever possible and can't believe this one slipped me by. Great post!! Thanks!

[microcrubeguy]

little feat song

[nato101010]

little feat is awesome!

[louswire]

Uh! this ain't lil feat...

[nato101010]

Nope, but its a Little Feat song!

[Bornysblues]

SRV goes for some Albert King licks on this one. Great!

[striker327]

Great vid! What did he say at the end?

[texasp1]

Stevie says direct deposit, State of Rhode Island, deep piles of shag carpets, something about Eskimo dialects, radio controlled cars, multivitamin with iron, duck tape, these are a few of my favorite things. There was something else but did not catch it.

[womanhattan]

@texasp1 Arugula?

[milliganstratman]

@striker327 arugala

[wandesattler]

Pretty cool. Who was backing him on this? The ending comments on the fade-away are a stitch! Thanks for posting.

[grandelatte3000]

what IS this??

[dmbodeen]

Was that David Sanborn on Sax?? Awesome video!

[chiliD322]

@dmbodeen Yep, that's David Sanborn. And, that's Omar Hakim (from Sting's first solo band and later with Peter Gabriel's band) on drums.

[1i1feat]

SRV does FEAT, GREAT!!!!!!!!
