The Fabulous Thunderbirds- The Crawl (Live at Farm Aid 1986)

[@garcivaldi]

Simple: one of the greatest guitarist of all times

[@annalewis3356]

When Jimmy plays the guitar behind his back drives me nuts !!! Nothing but talent all the way to the top!! SRV rip

[@reubenj.cogburn8546]

Something you should know. Stevie used to steal away his older brother's guitar as a youngster, and get beaten in the face for that. Don't get me wrong, Jimmy had some talent, but he was a shadow of his younger brother. And he knew it. And just fyi, he's not playing behind his back, he's playing behind his head. I have yet to see Jimmie Vaughan play behind his back. Don't get me wrong, I ain't putting you on blast . What I am saying is that Jimmy was good, but he ain't but a shadow of his younger brother. Word

[@annalewis3356]

@@reubenj.cogburn8546 Thanks for setting me straight he does play behind his head not his back. I seen SRV live in Tampa Fl in 1989 he was the best no doubt but Jimmy is all we have now and yeah he's no.2 SRV was no.1.

JLJ is Texas Royalty. A true Texas guitar slinger.

JLV

[@chucklutter7399]

This band and JLV are significantly underrated. They deserved far more credit and airtime.

[@VLVanDerMerwe]

The whole band are just killer. Kim’s incredible voice and Jimmie is just super smooth !

Rock'n Roll can never die! Greetings from Hamburg Germany

[@melissastone9200]

Hello from Tennessee USA

[@sal4864]

The coolest looking and coolest sounding guitar solo ever!!!!!!!!

[@RWBVanc]

And more or less a faithful repro of the 1958 original by Guitar Junior. Jimmie Vaughan is the coolest!

[@duanecupp2745]

All them people it's hard to believe I seen them when they first started me maybe 100 people and they are still one of my favorites

[@philturner6642]

That just kicks with a capital A they were so good live.old school with balls

[@scottwheeler2494]

Saw them at Rockefellers in Houston in 82. Then in Tampa in 86 when they opened for SRV. I got back stage and met my favorite harp player. Great band.

[@melissastone9200]

Love this band, saw them in concert in Chattanooga TN in the eighties and they drove up in a white thunderbird and put on a fantastic show ❤❤❤❤❤

[@aloisemason3044]

Let's rock..This is a swinging concert going on..Kim Wilson is in full gear and out bursting the Crawl before your eyes..Jimmie Vaughan is giving u some strat behind his head and looking great..this stage is hot and don't think its not..band is excellent..Get down..

[@maryroberts1813]

What a cool time to be alive.

[@MrGuitars8]

I met them in New Orleans years ago and they are so nice not to mention HUGE TALENTS IN MUSIC !!!!!!

[@annalewis3356]

Lol they especially Jimmy is the all the talent I care for I SRV live in 1986 in Tampa Bay I was blown away Jimmy was in Double Trouble and he kicked ass !! But SRV was my favorite guitar player of all time. I loved his unique talent and his voice was blues 💙 I found awesome 😎.

[@martlgr]

The ol' Guitar behind the head never gets old!!

[@IDoBluesdeluxe]

The dirty little secret can be seen on the back of Jimmies guitar

[@timothyhoneycutt6928]

I cant agree more!

[@robertcole5123]

SRV does the "behind the head" thing later that night during his performance of, "Love Struck Baby".

[@cesariosilvasilva5784]

Jimmy wilson was terrific, very nice

[@valeriethompson1166]

when we covered this one I actually used to crawl around the stage singing. bit of fun, no? these guys were so good.

[@RhodaGRIERSON]

Thee beest...

[@hihats]

man these were great times

[@coachb6153]

I saw Stevie open for them several times in the early '80's before he took off!

[@bettiestanley3882]

Great band

[@rickabbott5297]

Terrific 👍👍👍😁🤗

[@cesariosilvasilva5784]

JIMMY WILSON WAS SENSATIONAL,AWASOME

[@adaptiveagile]

That was really cool.

[@jocelynsmyth2037]

Too cool! Good times!!

[@attanunplamit9375]

before i was born............ in 1986 greattttt

[@retrodaddy1]

Thanks for posting these Live Aid clips. JRV is just showin' off here. Badass.

[@cgdoublezerorc]

Great song. Did y'all see SRV on stage left groovin' to his big brother's guitar licks? 2:10.

[@Viktor-wn2ch]

God job seeing that :) Had a look a few times to spot him.

[@hubertsumlin9697]

I may be an idiot...but after slowing it down I think that's a woman in a hat. Am I looking at the wrong person? Edit: I don't think that's him

[@cgdoublezerorc]

@@hubertsumlin9697 IDK. I'm looking at the person in the "cowboy" hat, wearing a white shirt, concho belt & dark pants. On SRV's left side is the stage manager,ff he's the guy wearing the headset talking to someone holding a clipboard. But you could be right & it's just my wishful thinking on getting to SRV one more time. Happy Holidays! 00

[@cesariosilvasilva5784]

Jimmie Vaughan fantastic was a machine of soun, excelent,wonderful...

[@abcdef-fq5sx]

todays T-birds cant get even close to this. they playing cover on their own songs now a days :P

[@Gtown1777]

I miss my buddy, RIP Prez

[@sheilabarron7206]

[@Mr.SharkTooth-zc8rm]

KICK ASS music!

[@sophiawolthof1238]

💗💗💗

[@johnhickey8429]

Jimmie!!!

[@gonfm77]

Great

[@bretthowser6777]

look how far back from the front of the stage the TBirds have to play. They’re being treated 2nd class and they were 1st class.

[@TheCarolsmile]

[@retrodaddy1]

Errr, Farm Aid. That was the Sweetwater Dank Tank typing in the other comment.

[@ColinCottingham-j7c]

Jimmie. And Kim should reform the t birds. Fran Christina or Mike buck. T BIRDS are a joke now days
