Stevie Ray Vaughan's final concert-Tightrope / Pride & Joy

Tightrope / Pride & Joy- By Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble. From SRV & DT's final concert at Alpine Valley Music Theater. Audio was recorded on 8/26/1990, Video graphics were designed today. I used a photo of Fender's Stevie Ray signature Strat, and took some liberties. The sound is not great, but sometime we have to take what we can get. If your into piano, P&J will be right up your alley as the keyboards level in the mix is rather high. (I wish there were a better version of the entire concert!) Enjoy! Produced By: The Department of Redundancy Department Productions, 2007

definitly better than hendrix i think. hendrix was awsome just because he basically created this type of style almost, but technically SRV was better i think

[Armuar]

This is rough to hear.

SRV will be sorely missed, forever.

[sejtur]

man, to hear this and think he died thesame or next day after this... just makes me shiver... RIP SRV! :'(

Hey there paunchetow...do you really mean that "srv don`t even get close to Hendrix" and "everybody can play srv with some practice.....?

I have played the guitar since the early sixties, and been to hundreds of concerts all over the world, and even seen Hendrix live 3 times and SRV 9 times.

Hendrix was a giant thats very true, but SRV had the same quality, and played

the guitar like no one before or after.

There`s not a guitarplayer on this planet that can play the guitar like srv did.

srv was a great guitarist but he don't even get close to hendrix, every body can play srv with some practice hendrix took a gift. There both bad ass in there own style, some early blues from hendrix is some the best blues ever his fans didn't wont blues they got wont they wonted. JIMI got burn out quick and that and drugs well you know the rest. When stevie plays hendrix it's not close to jimi but he tried, far as blues go get a strat and some soul and your on your way.

What a tragic loss. As Buddy Guy states in the Tribute DVD, Vaughan's music will ring in my ears until the day I die. In my opinion, only second to Jimi. The only reason I say Jimi was better was because of his unparalleled chording that were really mini solos. But when it comes to real soloing and ripping and digging into bends, no one beats SRV. And Jimi could not have physically played SRV's guitars. No one could.The 2 greatest who always played from a place where we mortal can only dream of.

saw him open for greg allman in daytona,and close for jeff beck in philly..he died 2 months later. i dont blame clapton for the heli crash....thats fate... kinda like waylon deciding not to ride with buddy holly/richie valens...

@ZANTEDESH i like it, " i was having a divorce and not paying attention to more important things" hahahaha cool line man

[MrRustyGuns]

I wish I had a time machine...I would have walked cross country to stop him from getting on that helicopter.Its sad,the last time playing this song not knowing whats about to transend....R.I.P. my man

You know what is amazing to me - with this remedial recording, you can still hear it is SRV's voice - no doubt! His

voice is so distinctive, with that vibrato and quality to it. Many a singer could not cut through at this low quality - but Stevie is

just unmistakable! I love it for that. Love you Stevie.
