Stevie Ray Vaughan & David Bowie-Jean Genie

This is very rare audio, its from a reheasal in Las Colinas Tx for the Moonlight Tour 1983. For all the SRV and Bowie fans this is a real treat Stevie tear into this song of course this is before SRV bolted. The vid is not as good as I would like but my first time to put pictures into a video sorry.

I too agree with Ritchie Blackmore: Jimi Hendrix was not a great guitar player. He was not perfect but everything around him was perfect.

Of course, Ritchie meant he was the best and he did the most

you only need to listen any srv lick to simply know the only help he had and need is his feel and magik hands

The magic of SRV & David Bowie is effident in the audio in this clip, pity there was not more tunes cut together than the few that we know of.

@jonahtran1 Nope I don't get Bowie but then I know people who don't get SRV too. Your point is well taken and if you find beauty in Bowie's music then that is a wonderful thing but I myself don't care for more than a few of his songs.

@mmsun44 You don't get Bowie? He was creative. He wrote beautiful songs that no one would ever want to know the meaning to. Why? It would take away the magic. Not a lot of artists can do that. I mean you tell me what "Life on Mars" is about just by listening. You can't. And the melody, the arrangement, everything about it is beautiful. Same with Ziggy Stardust. Well. I know what it's about, but it's still a killer song.

@5507156693 Pray tell. Why the FUCK isn't Jimi one of the greatest players that's ever lived? And choose your argument carefully. Remember that I and a lot more people are on the side of every respectable musician including Bowie and SRV. And know that SRV wouldn't be the same guitar player without Jimi Hendrix. He was an INNOVATOR. He stretched the limits of the guitar and made himself a legend in a FOUR YEAR CAREER! How many other people have done that? none.

@smrockett No wonder you are a twat

i saw Bowie in Brisbane Australia in 1983. I remember expecting to see Stevie playing and being dissapointed that he wasn't on stage. I had been listening to texas flood for months. Anyways I ended up seeing Stevie in 84 and 86 when they toured. '86 was exceptional as it featured the Fabulous Thunderbirds, which I had been lsitening to since about 1981. didn't even connect that Jimmy Vaughn and Stevie wee brothers till years later. Bowie concert was kinda crap..

@smrockett If that is true, you should just cut off your ears, and give up on music all together you poor little boy.
