Because of his guitar greatness everybody forgets that Stevie had such a great voice too

[@toddcote2710]

Nobody ever talks about his voice! It was like " honey over gravel"

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I think this is why Stevie does such great covers. His guitar is is innovative yet still maintains a bluesy edge. He keeps things close to the melody and owns those lyrics too.

[@darrelllopez7386]

i loved him so much that i named my youngest daughter after him Stevie Re"Lopez

[@MatthewC137]

Right on, he had a fantastic voice and always sang perfectly live. I wonder if he had perfect pitch.

[@hunterswine]

He never liked his voice but yeah, a vocal powerhouse

[@fjk1138]

I remember watching this live back in the day. SRV was off of drugs and alcohol at this point, and his band was really on top of their game. Everything was looking up for them until just over a year later. The day he died was my first day of college, and a part of me died with him that day. He was my favorite guitar player at the time and I never really got over it. SRV RIP.

[@RichardDelFranco]

I never got over it myself. My favorite guitar player as well.

[@dockrock64]

Thats why he only did the studio work with bowie and didnt go out on tour. His coke use was out of hand

[@ethanrobert45]

[@glendaroland4190]

Same here. Saw him on Johnny Carson, clean & sober, just had a wierd feeling that he might not be around here much longer as he had come full circle. I was inconsolable as I had been major fan many years. Saw him @ San Diego County Fair @ N/C, he was obviously quite drunk but never missed a beat. All my friends thought of me as I had turned many of them onto SRV, you just gotta hear this guy!! Can't wait to see him again. RIP SRV😭

[@Enigma8750]

Stevie Ray Vaughn was raised in a poor family. The old ragged guitar was from his childhood where he learned Blues from the Black Masters. He was welcomed as the Only White man that could ever play the blues like a black man. He understood the blues because it was his life growing up. He almost killed himself drinking so much that he was throwing up blood. He cleaned up and was on his last tour and took the wrong chopper. He died on impact in a burst of flames of a full tank in the chopper. SRV

[@ede4961]

Well, what can I say? His job here on earth was done, and now Heaven is enjoying some great blues! They say everything in heaven is perfect, and I know he fits right in! A reunion is waiting on us, and we'll meet again.....he said so, as did Jimi...."see ya in the next one, DON'T BE LATE!"

[@rsbreth]

@Doug Richardson So true. Like losing Neil of RUSH this year - dammit.

[@tcm6756]

me too, bro. on that awful day, i shed many tears

[@larryh451]

Here is the other side of the unfairness of life. The unavailability of jobs in the rust belt drove me to Austin just in time to see SRV on the verge of stardom. Standing in the midst of a crowd of regulars at Antone's it was easy to spot the other newcomers like myself. They would be looking around like they needed someone to confirm that what they were seeing and hearing was really happening. Over Stevie's music you could read their lips, "WTF". It wasn't long before famous musicians in town for their own gig would be showing up after hours to join him onstage when he was in town. To be there after the bartenders were gone and the doors were closed felt like the greatest of all honors.

[@cuninglinguist]

@@larryh451 Great stuff there /We didn't see him in the SF Bay much until he was starting to tour clubs who knows where . I went to The Stone in SF .About 600 people max .A friend was insistant that we go . Lucky to snag a seat off to the side of the stage , but up close .. I was one of those guys looking around with the WTF ?

[@sterlingprice5963]

Stevie was so soft spoken and modest. He was great.

[@jimcurry5458]

It’s amazing how when he was on stage playing he had such intensity and fire. Yet off stage sitting in that chair he’s so soft spoken and down to earth. It seems that you can tell he went to hell and back with drugs and alcohol. But then he was clean and sober and had his like in a good place and so centered. A real tragedy that he was taken when he had so much left to give. I can only imagine what he would have produced over a long career.

[@deanhultberg41]

His voice got that subtle and lovable Texas drawl, just enough, he has the perfect vocal delivery matched only by his playing. RIP SRV

[@rottingpotatoes2483]

“Matched only by his playing” I disagree, his playing is the main draw. Don’t get me wrong, he was a great singer, but his playing was on a level untouchable by anyone else.

[@beachbum4166]

He came across as an insightful and thoughtful person; very intelligent. You don't become that good of a musician without high intelligence.

[@thehighhopes5336]

my parents took me to see him in 1989 in Baltimore. I was 14 and didn't know much about him at the time. he blew the roof of the place. his playing was so nasty and so natural. nobody touches him

[@cw5451]

I got to see him around that same time in Dallas, and he blew the roof off here too! He was electric! And the music flowed THROUGH him. He was amazing!

[@timthegunguy47]

I saw him in 85 @ pier 6 Pavilion. I was 18 and a budding drum player and a girl I was dating her uncle took a bunch of us to see him and it was the best concert experience I've ever had! In fact I got Chris Layton's drumsticks that night and still have them in my collection all these years later! I cried like a baby when I heard he had died! It's a shame cause he had finally started enjoying life without the need for the drugs and booze. RIP Stevie!

[@willclark753]

Nobody!!!

[@odudi]

That part where Arsenio asks Stevie if he liked rap..i personally would have said hell no..but Stevie being the class act that he is said the right thing by saying " i like all kinds of music, there is room for everything, makes room for me too". In every interview i have seen him in no matter if he was high or clean and sober he always was calm, collective, had a smile on his face, and any time people would tell him how great he is he would be shy about it and direct what he learned from his heroes.

[@anthonythomas6593]

Could you imagine if Arsenio asked the NWA rap group if they liked Polka music?

[@hekdhjrkf3601]

Stevie made the guitar talk, scream,and cry. He played the hell out of it. He was good as BB King.

[@odudi]

@Frank Lopez ok what did i say to deserve getting attacked? Of course youtube is full of trolls

[@odudi]

I have the right to like or dislike different styles of music. Now if you want to see a real attack on rap here it goes. For one rap is spelled wrong they forget the silent c in front of rap. And 2 i could play rap by putting a shoe in the dryer, grab a Dr Seuss book. Pull by pants halfway down, turn my hat backwards, grab my crotch and read the book out loud throwing curse words in now and then.

One of the greatest performers of all time, incomparable soul and technique on the guitar and he overcame so much. Such an incredible loss for the world of music.

What a legend that was taken from us way too soon. Stevie was a gentleman and an ambassador to Music. God Bless Stevie. Thanks for sharing

Stevie was so humble & soft-spoken. He didn’t really have that TV/interview savvy, so Arsenio had to cut the interview a little short.... but what a performance: his guitar was his voice.

[@Guitar387]

Amazing performance he was so naturally musical and talented. No one else can play with his passion.

[@marksandoval3126]

Saw him at the Wiltern theater right before he passed 🙁 7th row center seats! Rest in peace Stevie ❤

[@rudyespindola1715]

I used to to see him a local bar in Arlington Texas... before he got really big... the memories

[@armandoisaacvazquez9523]

This will always be my favorite video. It's on my birthday!!!!!! June 19 1989. I was 7!

[@joekuhn7256]

I saw him twice, Miami '85 and Wisconsin "86. He was clean for the in-step album as it is about him following the steps of A.A. Titles such as wall-of denial are examples of that. Apparently his fear was sobriety would hurt his playing. He learned otherwise and his skills markedly improved.

[@josephlyon4919]

never see a man playing a guitar like that again!!!!!!!

[@moeb434]

He digs into that guitar neck like a rabid dog!

[@keltonhutchison5951]

Amen brotha

[@thespiritof76..]

You were at Alpine Valley in Wisconsin The Nite he died

[@thespiritof76..]

Tightrope was another one on that album Dealing with addiction... However I never put two into together about instep And of course the 12 steps he was following

[@Liquid_Mike]

Who's your influence? "... everybody I've ever heard" That's pretty insightful right there

[@roncarson3342]

I was at his last concert here in blossom music center in Ohio. I ended up being front row right side of stage. New to his music at 19 he played voodoo child and proud Mary in my face. I littertly prized him with my arms, saying I'm not worthy, the man changed my life. hearing of his passing the next day changed everything for the rest of my life. I can never explain how much his music means to me......

[@gracecase998]

I saw him live in July 1990 (on my 19th birthday) less than a month before he died. AMAZING live! Always was a huge fan. Show was with Joe Cocker too and it was EPIC!!!! They did a duet on Little Help from my Friends.....
