Seeing Stevie play live was akin to a religious experience at a tent revival on a hot Saturday night somewhere down south. Stevie was the preacher or the vessel if you will that scripture flowed through, thus allowing his guitar to speak in tongues.

[@ThomasDelker-s2q]

Quite possibly the best description of a SRV show I've ever heard

[@rohanroll]

Thirty years today. And still hurts. You were taken too soon, just when you were sober again, and healthy and full of fire. In your prime. Life without you sucks, SRV, but your music and your words keep healing this fucked up world. Peace and love to you all, and take care.

I was at his last performance in Alpine Valley, it hurts still almost every day. He truly and literally gave his all, God bless you SRV💔

[@bluesjenjwg87]

Yes a fantastic song by an incredible artist...Stevie is such an inspiration to us all:)

[@mydogspet]

Amen. I listened to one of his sobriety speeches at an AA meeting (It was on KZbin) - towards the end of his life he became a deeply spiritual person who loved God - and his fellow man, as heard towards the end of this song. ...I wish I could have known him personally. He's right - what we do in love is what really matters.

[@LorraineAshby]

mydogspet Thank you for those lovely words about Stevie - you are right - I always felt Stevie was a very special soul - he went through so much in his short life but I think when you suffer it makes you look at life very differently and makes you more compassionate to others who may be going through tough times- you realise what is important in life and that is to love - miss him and his music so much - bless you ~ Lorraine :))

[@mydogspet]

Lorraine Ashby, you are so right. There is a depth to those who have suffered and come through. They have more empathy and sympathy for the hurting. ...I love seeing compassion in action, which is why I love this video and hearing him speak towards the end.

Hands down the best ever, there really hasn't been anyone take it any further then this man. He single handedly revived the blues because at the time SRV stepped into the picture the blues was all but dead. Man what mighty big if not impossible shoes to try and fill and just think it's been over 30 years since we lost him and his playing style, passion and love for the music has yet to have anyone even come close to matching . Now that's what I call legendary , you know I believe some things God only allowed there to be only one and this lady's and gentleman is one of those. I remember when I first heard SRV I was blown away because I thought I had heard about all there was as of music, but man could SRV hypnotize you with his playing style that was like watching water flow. When he took the stage anyone who played with him had to take the back seat because this man was gonna steal the show and have you know he played with all the great blues players from Albert & B.B King, Clapton and so many others and no one could come close to what he could do. A quote from Clapton was that Stevie never seamed to get lost he would just take it to another level. A true master of his art. Thank you Stevie for blessing the world with the best heartfelt blues music this world will ever know.

❤🎩 "La Vie Sans Toi" de Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble est une chanson poignante et introspective qui aborde les thèmes de la perte, de la réflexion et de la résilience de l'esprit humain. Les paroles suggèrent une conversation avec quelqu'un qui a été absent pendant un certain temps, indiquant peut-être un être cher décédé ou parti, laissant un vide significatif dans la vie du narrateur. Les premières lignes, "Ooh, ooh maintenant bébé, dis-moi comment ça va / Nous t'avons tous manqué, et ton sourire aussi," expriment le désir de la présence de la personne et les souvenirs associés à leur bonheur. Le sentiment implique que leur absence a été profondément ressentie par ceux qui les entourent. La phrase "Le jour est nécessaire, de temps en temps / Pour que les âmes avancent, redonnant vie encore et encore" introduit l'idée que la vie nécessite des changements et des transitions. Elle suggère que pour que les individus grandissent et avancent, ils doivent endurer des expériences joyeuses et difficiles. La répétition de la phrase "Vole, vole, vole mon ami / Continue, vis à nouveau, aime à nouveau" souligne l'importance d'embrasser la vie et l'amour malgré la douleur de la perte. Au fur et à mesure que la chanson progresse, les paroles se concentrent sur le passage du temps. Les lignes "Jour après jour, nuit après nuit / Assis ici, chantant chaque minute, alors que les années passent" expriment le sentiment de nostalgie du narrateur et leur réalisation que le temps continue d'avancer, même s'ils restent bloqués dans leur chagrin. Le vers "Long regard dans le miroir, nous nous sommes retrouvés face à face / Souhaitant tout l'amour que nous tenions pour acquis, l'amour que nous avons aujourd'hui" suggère l'introspection et la croissance personnelle. Il implique que le narrateur a confronté sa propre réflexion et reconnaît les erreurs d'avoir pris l'amour pour acquis. Ils ont appris à apprécier l'amour qu'ils ont dans leur vie maintenant, peut-être suite à une réflexion sur l'absence de la personne à qui ils chantent. Le titre et le refrain, "La vie sans toi, tout l'amour que tu m'as donné / Les anges t'attendaient depuis si longtemps, maintenant ils ont leur voie / Prends ta place," renforcent le thème central de la perte et du désir de la personne qui n'est plus présente. Cela implique que la personne à qui l'on chante occupe une place significative dans la vie du narrateur et a maintenant trouvé la paix dans l'au-delà. Dans l'ensemble, "La Vie Sans Toi" explore les émotions qui surgissent de la perte d'un être cher et souligne l'importance de chérir l'amour que nous avons dans le moment présent. Elle sert à la fois de lamentation et de rappel du pouvoir durable de l'amour même après la perte.´´ (source Songtell)

He made sure I got to see him 5 times live, in some amazing venues...dancing in the dirt drinking Pina coladas and fried chicken&potato salad I made earlier that day. My hilarious brother screaming "Look at Little Sister" along with SRV live. I always contend when he got to Heaven he started raising Cain for some live rock. He can take the blame. There's one heck of a concert up there!

[@johnthonig8832]

From 1972-1977, I saw him countless times in Austin Clubs before Double Trouble ☮️😊

[@Klurpaderp]

If only when I die I could meet Stevie Ray to tell him how much this song meant to me. R.i.P Pure class

[@donaldhenley3661]

The library of congress needs to have this song in its archives and I'm not being sarcastic. It's WAY TOO POWERFUL a recording of a GREAT SRV SONG to loose in the dust. CHILLS.

[@br3294]

Today is January 23rd, 2020 and I still miss this man. Thankfully, I got to see him one time in concert before he passed. Peace brother.

[@krazykevmlc]

Born too soon, on my part. 1997, missed out on my favorite musician. Still love him like he’s still touring 👏🏼

[@aloisemason3044]

SENSATIONAL entertainer..SENSATIONAL guitar player..SENSATIONAL singer..A Guitar legend..r you with me

[@davidrogers5219]

This man was filled with the Holy Ghost. Honestly believe God took him so he could play in heaven. The best guitar player that ever lived. A man after God's own heart. He inspired so many people.

[@jay1deep721]

Stevie your music still impacts people's lives. Best guitar player. This song touches my soul. God I wish I was the age I am now when you were alive to see you in person.

[@sgtjimbo4505]

I was at his final performance at Alpine Valley, what a tragic loss but his life is a beautiful story. He beat his demon's and shared that with the world. God bless you SRV, I miss you.

[@sandraray8523]

When I move on to the other side, I will see all my loved ones who went on before me. What a celebration I will have when I get there singing “Well hello baby, how have you been.........?”

[@dubzy21]

That solo rips my heart out every time

[@marigoldpluss]

Agreed ❤️❤️❤️

[@lwfitzgerald1491]

I guess he knew this song was about him. It seems it was written about him. I know hes still playing that guitar. I hear him every day. Miss you stevie . I will forever be your fan. Love always

[@DaddyyCrab]

I remember the SRV rallies in Dallas, seeing Cutter, the bands and friends. I think I know who you are. The artist?

[@lwfitzgerald1491]

@@DaddyyCrab they say music soothes the savage beast, music soothes the soul, what would life be without it? SRV was definitely put here to do that. Hes gone physically, but his spirit and his soul will never die. His fans will make sure that his music will remain. And all of the songs going thru my head right now ,one still stands out .....life by the drop. Glad to know a fan!

[@kathylyons3895]

Stevie Ray Vaughn was my brother in spirit & I hope to see him soon in heaven! God Bless. this angel!🌹

[@christophermiller7532]

Prince & SRV together just once would've have been perfection.

[@gradybrowning3976]

His live performances are so much better than the studio recordings.

[@aloisemason3972]

Stevie Ray Vaughan was cut short in his short life in a helicopter crash and Stevie will never be forgotten and he changed his life and got off drugs and alcohol and then the crash happened..great band..Stevie is a music legend to this day and fans around and over the world will lwys remember Stevie by his music and songs constantly going out invthe wind and the sound of Stevie' sensational performance and entertainment to all..RIP Stevie

[@nathanmysza6102]

30 years gone by Love and miss you Stevie!!!

[@michaelhart1815]

Damn, you see how many times he makes adjustments to his guitar? All during a solo? 3:18. Each time getting subtle differences in the sound. He does this like 10 different times, all the while not missing a single note. It was probably just like riding a bike through the park for him. Extraordinary guitarist by far.

[@wednesdaymitchreid7087]

I still remember that beautiful morning at work in South Pasadena,1989; we all missed out on what he was becoming all those years ago,the greatest guitarist ever? Top 5 for sure.

[@aleksjeff3088]

I wasn't even born when he died, but I miss him so much somehow. May SRV always be close to God Jesus Christ.

[@jeffk2526]

This song is for my mom, who passed away March 6th, 2016. Miss her so much!

[@ruzgar767]

Im sorry for your loss

[@ronipaige29]

Mine, too. She passed November 10th. My condolences to you and those who knew her.

[@noahsimmons4107]

I ain't gonna sit here and tell you sorry brother...when my mom died when I was 9 in 2006 ever since then it's been oh sorry for your loss like yeah what the Fuck ever. But let me tell you somethin buddy I feel for you...my heart still hurts for my mom and I bet yours still hurts. I pray one day we see them again

[@metroidmuncher4802]

Jeff Kulichik sorry to hear man.. My dad passd away in 2014 when I was 16. this song reminds me of him every damn time the best way possible. prob my fav song bcuz of it, seeing as how my father was a big SRV fan.

[@DH-xm3hc]

I was fortunate enough to see Stevie Ray Vaughan in '87. I got close enough to touch his boot. He looked down at me and smiled. I always carry that with me. Stevie Ray Vaughan will always be rembered and loved ✌🏻❤️🌼

[@rhiannonkyle4831]

If i had one wish I'd wish he didn't die so he could continue to bless our souls

[@laurieb42]

5:29 " ya know there's a lot of Love that goes on but we don't think about it until we need it more than ever, cause it's gone... It's up to us to carry on a few new rules. like if we go on through our lives taking from each other,,, You can bet your life we are gonna give it all up in the end...But if you go through your life giving all the time, all you have,, You already had it , you gave it, you never had a problem. And the guy that's there on the ground and needs some help,,, You don't walk up and kick Him. if your gonna do that, You better wear his shoes for a while ... cause you know what, trade places with him he'll pick you up. It's the truth, You better pass around as much Love as you can in your lifetime. that's all we really have to give or accept....Are You with Me. -' Stevie Ray Vaughan

Words we should all be living by IMHO! God gave us 10 commandments. Jesus only gave us two. "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." And, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." Just think what a wonderful world we would be living in if everyone lived by just those two commandments, JMHO.

[@jmad71]

He definitely earned the right to pull off a hat like that.

[@dawnjacobs718]

He lives in my heart along with Elvis and a few others..I saw Stevie and to watch him and his soul flow through that guitar ..He makes me cry and feel some real feels in the heart. Gone but never forgotten..3

[@madsenmotorsports9950]

I don’t think there was anybody that knew a guitar like Stevie, he knew every nook and cranny of a guitar. Never felt so much passion watching someone play. Just doesn’t get any better than srv.

[@metalted6128]

Srv wasn’t a human, he was a fender strait that looked like a man!!! Thank you for all you gave , to this world,srv. An incredible man/ guitar !!

[@MrSupraman15]

Noone will every replicate his touch...his feel...his soul I'm just glad I got to watch the video in my lifetime...

[@ronipaige29]

Mom looooved her some Stevie Ray. Her passing was so sudden. This was the first song to come on the Stevie Pandora station. No other song seemed to fit the bill. It was played during her services and Lenny at the end to walk out. " The angles have waited for so long... Now they have their way.. Take your place.." So very true. The prettiest flowers are always picked first.

[@tkd2703]

This guy went home way too early. He is sorely missed here, but as many other said before me, he is now among the other gods of music (Hendrix, Harrison, BB King, Lennon, Morrisson, Freddie and many many others) having the best time non stop.

[@carolforsythe2391]

No words, just listen for 10... something for all of us to think about. Beautiful song.

[@joannzeringue299]

All we are left with are beautiful memories....

[@jacobmccafferty420]

this song just hits me so hard. the first time i heard it it made me cry. its goes to show you dont know what youve got till its gone

[@netsic]

I'm from Italy, I love playing guitar and I have two little boys. I still don't know what kind of culture they will have, but I'm sure I want them to know SRV music !

[@connormccabe9351]

3:48 Stevie does a 2 step bend on that lick. On what I assume were 13 gauge strings. Takes a lot to do that on much lighter strings. And he does it like it’s nothing. Such a legend

[@davidmcmahon5991]

I been told CHUCK'S GUITAR put bass frets on his axe necks and he had a grip of a 🦍 in his left 👏👌,I read somewhere maybe guitar player magazine years back🤔💘 ,I miss him dearly my friends !! 😢

[@mattcurti686]

Stayed in tune too!

[@Arlo4511]

And the action of his strings was set high also. Jeff Beck said he tried playing a D chord on one of Stevie's guitars once and couldn't do it because of how high the strings were.

[@Royster1094]

Melting faces in the back of the room.

[@lthoedt]

@@Arlo4511 There is actually a lot of debate. Some people said it was really high some people said it wasnt. But i know this from experience: high action makes bending a lot easier. The thing that is hard about is is that you very easily mute strings when hitting chords (mainly open chords). But the way he got over this is by not playing open chords much. Now another thing is he pretty much always had his left hand covering all strings and pushing them down. This actually is what i like about high action. Its easier to mute the strings and always hit every note hard. I had such high action ones that chords were actually out of tune. (this was around 8mm on 12th fret i believe). So it wasnt as high as that. Its probably on the edge of being out of tune. Again its impossible to verify by someone saying it felt high because they can only compare to what they were used to. Do with this what you want but i thought it would be interesting to share.

[@vinny5085]

Just heard this song for the first time on the radio today. Unbelievable how truly great songs can stop people in their tracks.

[@photoboy2005]

Best solo of all time. Easy. There isn’t even a close second place.

Rest in peace boy..........I miss you so much it hurts. You knew how to do it brother!

Life with out you this song is about the truth anyway you can see it .

He lives in our souls forever ! I saw him at the Sunrise Theater in Hollywood Fl. Danced in the front row . He actually looked me in the eyes! He loved his fans and all peoples ! 💖

Lost my mom this past Dec. this song reminds me of her....... Love you mom..... Till i see you again...........

[@davidjarvis8501]

I feel very blessed to have come across this man and the gift he shared with us at the same time I feel very sad we couldn't have more of him I know that's probably selfish a thought.But we got to live thru him and still do.ill never forget seeing a true Master of his craft.I play SRV everyday sometimes all day.thank you SRV

[@jeanpennie]

This song is perfect for today ... 25 years ago he was lost and the loss is still felt.
