Stevie Ray Vaughan Live @ Hordern Pavilion, Sydney, Australia 03/16/1986

[@ddibona1476]

I feel so sad for all those who never had the opportunity to experience SRV/DT live. I did 16 times. 30 plus years later I watch a video such as this and I watch in disbelief. Chills! Incomparable! I have never seen Tommy Shannon so animated! Don’t know for sure but I wouldn’t be surprised if this is shortly after Stevie met Janna. He is spending a lot of time looking off to the His right side of the stage. I saw the band first in 1984 til the end in 1990. Witnessed every stage of their live experience during those years. Stevie is playing like a man in love! Simply amazing!

[@MM-yq7lj]

D DiBona you got that right!! stevie will never be matched in my eyes This is right after he met janna. She just published a book about her and stevie. It is the most beautiful love story ever. You can tell just by all the personal pics she shared that have never been seen. She also did a lengthy interview on a podcast talking about stevie. Stevie did always have an eye for beauty.

[@daviddibona7488]

M Medina he sure did! The stage of his career after he met Janna was such a beautiful transition to witness! I actually have an autographed copy of Janna's book. Haven't had the time to delve into it because I want to give it all my attention lol I have not heard the podcast. Any info on that? I actually met Stevie, Chris and Tommy the day after the world famous Carnegie Hall show. He was so friendly and genuine.I miss my hero!

[@MM-yq7lj]

David DiBona oh I am so jealous you got to meet him! I saw him 5x. Seeing him changed my life forever! I think I shook for a week straight cause he moved me that much! I just met tommy and chris a few months back in austin. I was at waterloo records where they were signing the carnegie hall album. Nobody was there and tommy sat and spoke with me for about 45 minutes. He shared some beautiful and personal stories of stevie. Tommy still chokes up til this day talking about him.. love the fact that all of us stevie fans share the same feelings towards him!! If you go to four years in pictures facebook page, you will find the podcast towards the bottom. She talks about how she and stevie met and their journey up until his death. It is just so beautiful. However, i am not very fond of jimmie after listening to that. He went into their dallas home right after he passed and took everything. All she had left were boxes of photos. He even took the 10 speed bike janna bought for stevie.

[@daviddibona7488]

M Medina I know that same feeling! SRV changed my life for sure. Out of body experiences many times! The first time I saw Life Without You it was performed as an instrumental. It became my personal favorite of any song ever live. The transformation of that song, to me, is the perfect example of how Stevie's life changed and how Stevie changed himself.I feel awful how Janna was treated as she was the catalyst for Stevie getting healthy.

[@MM-yq7lj]

David DiBona that is my favorite song too! Lol The first time i saw him do life without you was incredible. The whole audience was standing in awe. He had the lights turned down with a native american headset on and was sober. I was standing 30 feet in front of him. Yeah, Janna was not treated fairly. Janna loved martha though. Janna has never made a big deal about stevie's possessions cause she said it was never about the $. She and stevie did not look at $ like that. They loved each other and that is all that mattered. She said stevie loved taking selfies with the polaroid. Lol

[@eddiewilbanks1382]

the greatest version of "Ain't Gonna Give up on Love" I have ever heard by SRV !!! This entire concert is FIRE !!!!

[@shirleymuhleisen683]

Best blues ever written by SRV or anyone-hallelujah,😎😎🔥🔥

[@alexaspropotamitis4204]

Try “unforgettable night “on you tube and listen to that version of ain’t gonna give up on love--enjoy

[@murraykane2507]

Yes, my favourite too. My others in top 3 are Poplar Creek, and the gig from 25 March 87. But you'd have to search hard among the other 15 or so out there for one that doesn't have something unique about it.❤

[@RyGuy-fi4zx]

Indeed the version of Life without you I've been searching for forever.. that infamous moment.. where he lifts the guitar up in the air.. just wish it was closer.. what a beast lol 🎸🎸

[@bensblues]

do you know if there's other footage of him doing that? i've seen photos from other shows but not footage

[@RyGuy-fi4zx]

@@bensblues Not to my knowledge there's not. This is literally the only concert I've seen footage of where Stevie did that. Or even heard about or seen. I think this is the only concert where he did it I could be wrong though.

[@bensblues]

@@RyGuy-fi4zx i have a photo of him doing it at another show probably also in '86

[@cadedavis4504]

I read from someone close to him (road crew or photographer I cant remember) they said he only did it twice, apparently this show and one other where hes got the purple hat, purple kimono, red pants

[@themayor6836]

Everytime I think I've seen SRV's best along comes another video of him wearing out that strat. BRAVO SRV you will always be the best guitar slinger to ever walk planet earth!

[@Footygodsarewatching]

I was 12 years old when this concert occurred, I am 45 now and still love srv like it was yesterday. Rip you good TEXAN.

[@angelmeyers1455]

What a showman Stevie truly was! He was just too good,... to stay in this world where so much evil exists!!! His goodness goes much deeper and far beyond this earthly world we've been born into..., where we were, are, and will be, blessed through the musical genius of Stevie Ray Vaughan! Now Stevie plays in Heaven for the Most High God and Creator of all things where evil does not exist! And there he lives eternally and shall never die! I'm truly grateful for so many hours of Stevie's life being perserved on audio and video by those who had the insight and foresight to record and film Stevie Ray, especially his very early years and I'm so thankful they are made available​ to us through the internet. They are priceless jewels for many of us alive today and I for one will be teaching my children and grandchildren about a man named Stevie Ray Vaughan who used to play and sing the blues!

[@stevehorowski8776]

S.R.V. is the one that was the one that is the true master of the blues R.I.P. S.R.V. GOD did bless you with the spirit of the blues!!! thank you JESUS!!!!

[@cuauhtemocmorisco3493]

I miss Stevie so damn much, at this point i cant thank him for what he has done in my life. I didnt know him or even wasnt born yet when he was around. I have so much admiration for him. God Bless his Soul and God Bless the Vaughan Family!!! Always will be Number One in my books!!!

[@DwainDwight]

I saw him on this tour. He was incredible. I can still remember it. Hard to put into words just what a giant of a guitar player he was.

[@tarynciccarelloo57]

i get that so right to bad hes gone but hes in the light

[@tarynciccarelloo57]

boy could do it all man

[@matthewervvin]

Was it just me or was that "Giving up on Love" even a bit more mind blowing than usual? No words...

[@shirleymuhleisen683]

Religious experience-best blue EVER written or performed😎👏👏🔥

[@pabloperez4063]

Agree

[@steveinsydney1]

I was there, front row centre, both nights. Still have one of the tickets. Irreplaceable memories of great nights. There's a commonly misused word that fits here - awesome. As in fills you with awe!

[@ledheadgreg]

Awesome it was. I have my ticket too for this night. Wasn't front row though - ticket says Sec 12 J 4.

[@CasperCameron]

That's insane.... I wish he was still alive and touring.... I wasn't alive back then or even when he died! Such a shame. My favourite guitarist of all time.

[@zakksaathoff1885]

steveinsydney1 your so lucky. I’m 14. I wish I could go back to the 80’s to see my hero!❤️

[@murraykane2507]

I was at the Brisbane Festival Hall gig on the Sat 22 March 86, but there is absolutely nothing out there about it. So this video is the closest I'll ever get to it again, and the special feedback he got going in Brisbane is ALL here. Just wonderful - a treasure for which I will be ever thankful❤

[@2karencraig]

I have Never seen a unbelievable guitarist as Stevie!!!!!! Miraculous

[@shannonslayter3162]

I saw him on 4/25/86 in Norman Oklahoma. I was on my first date , with his parents. I have listened to him for 2 years, and never attended a Blues concert. I will be 50 in February . I still remember the spotlight illuminating him .He was opening with Say What. Great instrumental. I can testify that day I was washed in the blood true fan. I would not become a member of the Mtv generation. I was now on a quest to learn and hear the most raw and honest music

[@scorpichella]

His vocals are so impassioned on this rendition of “Ain’t gonna give up on Love” here. Fantastic.

[@loosefrontwheel566]

Is it just me? I’ve never heard or seen Stevie play with this much energy and improvisation...

[@THXx1138]

I have to agree.

[@stingylizard]

@@THXx1138 The video over in Europe,Germany I think, outdoors in daytime. Stevie walks out and just blows doors...he leans into the songs,headfirst. Its another amazing performance. Saw him & DT with Fabulous Thunderbirds twice in one day;they played a daytime show at the fed prison in Big Spring (Clifford Antone was why),then Midland that evening. Hella night in Tejas,Feb 1986. (Rockpalast?)

[@bensblues]

@@stingylizard was clifford in prison then?

[@stingylizard]

@@bensblues Yep. Our rehearsal hall was 22' feet away from the federal prison property. We would crank up 100 watt stacks and full PA @ 2 am and play nuthin' but SRV,Thunderbirds,etc.,hoping he could hear it. Prison guard told us we were too loud and that we sucked as a band,and every prison guard hated us. I'm sure that was true on both counts, but we just cranked everything up and kept playing for Clifford and the inmates. We've been harrassed ever since but it was worth it.

[@mbsheisey]

How can you tell? The video that pops up on screen is very hard to make out Darn it!!

[@danno9608]

Man, he was smokin hot that night! I've seen many of their live performances however this one showcases some really special licks, bends, phrases and fret gymnastics. He's playing so sweet on every single song in the set. I've not heard acrobatics such as these at any other show. He got sober in '86 so perhaps this is a testament to clean living, or maybe peaking prior to bottoming out. Vocals are exceptional too! Just fantastic!

[@tonyevans9999]

He wasn't clean at this point, some of these Australian performances make up some of the Live Alive album and sure enough bits of this show remind me of parts off that record

[@bensblues]

As good as it is that he got clean, he was very fucked up at this point and his playing was the most astronomical and unique ever. Theres a show from vancouver 86 on youtube, if you listen to that you'll hear lots of crazy improvisation he never did again, but hes completely wasted and mucks up all the lyrics.

[@jasonlee8497]

Those crazy wide bends right from the start means Stevie is already on fire. Great show!

[@enoughcorruption5975]

Best Guitar Player ever! And a better person, so humble! Tragic loss! Just think, Helicopter takes off on the last day of Claptons tour and crashes in the fog killing the best guitar player to ever live!

[@SuperRaysanchez]

Stevie Ray as always with their extraordinary concerts that left us , his generation and new beginning to see their concerts to eternity one the greatest rock, blues and jazz musicians ,

[@SuperRaysanchez]

Alvaro muy buen video no lo habia visto que descarga se da SRV ,si logras encontrar el video donde Stevie hace duo con Gregg Allman un concert donde tocan stormy monday stevie se da un solo de guitar que no le da chance a Gregg de hacer un solo de teclados y le desconectan la guitar a SRV y el va y la conecta hazme el favor ve si lo encuentras y observa esos detalles es muy cargado ese blues por ambos.

[@angelgarrison5718]

I was listening to one of the Eric Clapton biographies 2 days ago. When it got to the part about SRV, I sat and cried just like I did when it happened...miss him...LOVE HIM...he was special and we were so fortunate to have him while we did. God shares his favorites only for a little while.

[@ryanblabla0909]

Great talent brings tears to my eyes.

[@kenc3288]

Way back then I had never heard of SRV. I only discovered him a few years ago. Cheers from Australia 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿

[@manfredschlager5502]

most exciting version of aint gonna give up on love ever in my opininon

[@shirleymuhleisen683]

Trunk McEight Dont mind repeating-that is best blues ever written-brings me chills every time I hear it sung-this one is unbelievable 😎

[@Cldfsn0200]

Saw him April 27, 1984 at my college in New York State. .... so glad i got to see him.

[@2karencraig]

He just loves what he is doing sooooooo much

[@aloisemason3972]

Nothing comparison with Stevie Ray Vaughan..He was born to be a music legend ..the guitar and singing ,private eye at times for security..songwriter,producer of his own music..talent,he had more talent then those in the spotlight always..blue',Rock n roll was Stevie's game and always a winner

[@jlswickhaber]

STUNNED by Stevie every time! thanks so much for sharing this!

[@darylrosevear2566]

Wow, great vid, saw him in Adelaide in 86 with the Thunderbirds as support, what a concert, blew the roof off the joint.

[@SteveSteve-md6qx]

Daryl Rosevear - I bet it was awesome. I’d seen him 3 yrs earlier. You’ve got to give it to him, touring all over the world as a relative unknown.......

[@midnitesunblues]

🔥🔥🔥 Stevie was so full of life and had such a huge soul-presence, it still lives today. anyone who was there had a memory for a lifetime. wow.

[@caniican]

I so love these guys the tightest band in history for sure. And so much love between those guys so beautiful to watch and it only got better with Reese Winans on keyboards thank you so much for uploading you made my day :-) :-) :-)

[@johnaldridge9734]

I thought Reese was unneeded. He is a great guy and great on the organ and all but the first time I saw SRV in 82 he seemed fine without ole reese. After all these years I am ok with him.

[@jasonph2522]

My older Brother had dragged a 16 year old Metal obsessed me to the Town Hall gig in Auckland two days before this was filmed. I was forever changed- thanks Bro- love you.

[@stevehorowski8776]

its hard not to envy, like shelby said dont do it!!! dont do it . like we could no one but S.R.V. ever did it like the one that did it!!!!!

[@mikehardasnails]

Thank you thank you thank you. I was there. Was the greatest concert I ever went to (and I been to a lot). Thank you again!

[@ledheadgreg]

So amazing to see both SRV shows I attended all those years ago here on KZbin in full. Great audio quality on this one too - much superior to the Opera House video from Nov '84 but I remember at the show the Opera House acoustics weren't ideal for an amplified band. Many thanks to the original shooters of both shows and the uploaders here and letting me relive two great shows from my youth. The double bill with the T-birds was the icing on the cake for this gig - a shame there's not video of their set but at least we have Kim and Jimmie's appearances in the SRV set. Great memories. Rest easy SRV.

[@100000bassman]

Isn't that the bassplayer from Thunderbirds on love struck?

[@heftosprod]

There's a the March 17th show too? Where? I was at both gigs - in the middle of the crowd for this one.. leaning on the stage front for the 17th March.. 18 years old and right in front of SRV himself. I'll never ever forget it, so it'd be wonderful to see that footage if you can direct me.

[@SteveSteve-md6qx]

My god what a gig......I love the pavilion anyway but with SRV playing!!

[@sorbelloc]

Thanks for the video. Always love you Stevie. Xoxo

[@mike-mj6bf]

So great full for the pipeline version thank you

[@SRV89Fender]

Best looking out the window version. That solo is amazing!

[@aloisemason3972]

Stevie Ray Vaughan at the prime of his success in his young life and has so .much ahead of him and his fantastic band ..A young blue's and rock n roll legacy has he maintained from a young age and Albert King thru guitar sessions told Stevie he was great but not all 5hat great yet..greatness was to come in his future ahead of him ..great guitar player and singer..Stevie will never be forgotten..RiP..still flowing out the music and its better then you'll ever 8magine..watching

[@ellenfalls1330]

During the '86 visit to NZ and Australia he met and started an acquaintance with the young Janna Lapidus who would later become his fiancée.

[@JeanVaughan-Staley]

When Janna met Stevie, she acknowledged she saw the cocaine and whiskey backstage, but he continued to use substances for another 7 months until he collapsed and made the decision to stop. She enjoyed their excursions together and the lifestyle he provided, but as time passed she shifted her focus off of him and onto her career. She had been modeling in Dallas, but left to share an apartment in NY with other models, until Stevie leased one for her. “Home base” was still Dallas for Stevie, where he got his main sobriety support from daily meetings at the Aquarius Chapter of AA. Dallas Sound Lab recording studio which he frequently used, was located nearby. It’s been well-documented he was uncomfortable being alone, and in a 1990 interview in the Dallas Morning News, he stated “I’m not well”. He admitted it was a daily struggle to stay clean and an author noted he carried a high risk for relapse. More than ever he needed a companion who would be available when he needed one, but Janna made herself less available and was content leaving him to his own devices. She stated he had to learn to not use substances to numb any pain he was feeling, and that it was “Ok to sit in a funk”. However, “sitting in a funk” made him vulnerable to relapse. She acknowledged they had fights and their relationship had it’s “ups and downs”. His prior marriage legally ended in June 1988 and by her own admission, Stevie asked her “many times” to marry him. She relied heavily on his financial assistance and knew it could be terminated, if she continued to delay his proposals. When she finally agreed, she then blamed her refusal to set a wedding date on their busy schedules. But by all accounts, Stevie would have eagerly accommodated. As a courtesy, Stevie asked her father for her hand in marriage, but he first had to persuade Janna. He had the apartment lease prepaid through the end of 1990. Pursuant to Texas law, Martha and Jimmie inherited Stevie’s estate in equal parts. Although his family extended the lease for another year after he passed, Janna filed unsuccessful lawsuits to collect more assets from his estate. Since Stevie’s death, she has tried to take credit for his sobriety and seek acclaim for her association with him. Without a doubt, Stevie was clearly committed to her. Problem is, she was more devoted to her career than she was to him.

That harmonica player is from Jimmie Vaughan’s Fabulous Thunderbirds band, Kim Wilson. I don’t know if the FT were also performing in Australia at the same time. We may be saying the same thing, in any event, it was a great concert
