Stevie Ray Vaughan - Riviera Paradise 7/14/1990

Track 9 of 15

Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble play Riviera Paradise live in Grove City, OH, 7/14/90.

Track cuts off at 5:23 and then comes back about 3 seconds later. So since Riviera Paradise isn't that short I'm suspecting that a good 3-4 minutes of audio was lost.

where did he get that hat?

[csi2448]

@2001imsofly I'm not entirely sure, but if I had to guess I'd say he got the hat from Texas Hatters. That's where he got most, if not all, of his hats from

uhh wasnt he dead in 1990?...

[csi2448]

@HCHSdevil He died on August 27th, 1990. So he still had another month left after this concert

the 1st time i heard this song on cd, i felt it was the most beautiful piece of music i ever heard. unfortunately for me i didnt become a fan until 2004 at age 42. i heard his music when he was still here, but i never listened.His tunes move me in ways i cannot express. why listen to anything else,when u can listen to SRV

[wisesatyr72]

this song should be a jazz standard..

[pdive01]

Been a fan since 1982 and he has been the biggest influence on my playing ever since....RIP my friend...I hope to jam with you in R&R heaven someday...

I think the sound engineer who recorded this deserves some recognition for this too.

This is the song I want played at my funeral as it would be. I plan to be cremated, but this song has so much soul, it's my only request. I hope I've made it clear to anyone that may plan such an occasion. Love it for many reasons. Mostly because I loved Stevie so much. He was one of a kind and died too young.. still sorry!

@luvjasmin Cool. I took a few guitar lessons from a guy named David Brown who lived just behind SRV growing up in Oak Cliff, His hands looked exactly like SRV's, you could place a nickel over the finger nails and barely cover them. Watching their fret hands all of the time clued me in to this, just amazing hand strength. One thing I took away from David was a little technique called the Oak Cliff Shuffle in any key cycling your pick hand up and over and up and over like the old train wheels.

@luvjasmin Amen! The book is a must have for any Stevie fan. I have it myself and it's beyond amazing!!

@porkchopsrv - I also have Craigs books. The last one is so amazing I keep it with me where ever I go. I know many of the people he was connected with from the Oak Cliff area (Bruce Bowland from Krackerjack, James Anderson from Rattlin Bones, etc...) that have even more answers to fill in that are missing in Day by Day, Night After Night. Craig has a website called Stevieraydotcom. He compiles his info there. The book is nothing short of amazing. Craig has a FB page as well for the book.

For all of those SRV haters out there, Stevie was clean a few years prior to his death. I remember the day I heard of his death more than the Shuttle explosion. I was to see him at the Oakland Coliseum prior to his death, but figured I'd catch him on his next go 'round. DAMN!!! I'm not moved by every guitarist that I hear, but Stevie was different, special. Magic comes around once in a lifetime. R.I.P.
