Thank God they caught the video so we get to watch it forever.

One thing that gets overlooked because of his virtuoso guitar playing is his soulful and resonant voice.

[@raymondpetherick3214]

Totally agree he is the most underrated singer of all time. Great voice great guitar 🎸 player. September 2023

[@alanbraun1187]

Honey over gravel!@@raymondpetherick3214

[@ricknelson5493]

yes. and like Hendrix, he didn't think he had "IT" he did for shit sakes evenneil youngs voice is tolerable

[@DH-xm3hc]

​Wow! What a dig at Neil Young. Stevie Ray Vaughan had a fantastic voice for the music he sooo fantastically played. I have seen both Neil Young and Stevie Ray Vaughn in concert. Every chance I could in the '70's I saw Neil Young and had the honor of seeing Stevie Ray Vaughn, in a small venue with about 200 people in 1987. While I haven't ever seen Neil Young again in concert since the '70's, I would have definitely gone to see Stevie Ray Vaughn every chance I got just to watch him play, and hear him sing. ​@@ricknelson5493

[@bobo420TX]

His voice improved so much over the years from the early 70's not singing too much, or as well. Until later when he took over and became the leader of the band.

[@bobo420TX]

I was lucky to be in Austin from 73-81 to watch this artist grow and become the superstar he became, before being taken much too soon.

[@williammasterson5924]

He should still be with us. He would not even be 70 yet I think. Man we missed out on lot of great music by losing him so soon.

[@davidwashburn5848]

We definitely lost something I can't explain.

[@AlexCoombes123]

We’re grateful for what he gave us, sad that he left us but his legacy lives on! The pilot should never have been aloud to fly that night!

You are right. The world needs to know about Stevie Ray for sure. One of the best blues rock guitarist out of Texas.

[@rorromorro3839]

This is HOW concerts should be!!!! Without the lip-synch/pomp & circumstance crap you see nowadays. This is pure talent and dedication with a great ensemble of musicians who so effortlessly support his style. Great work never to be seen again, unfortunately.

As SRV would say Reese Wynans everybody Reese Wynans

[@petedazer3381]

SRV changed my life. When I first heard him about 1982 or so, rock was dead. Everything on the radio was terrible! Then I heard Pride and Joy. Wow! Real electric blues rock..when I heard he died on 8/27/90, I was working at a chemical plant in Detroit. I told the young fellow with me, that I had to go. I went straight home and mourned! Never did stop that part. He completely changed the way I look at my guitar, and made me get off my fat ass and start really practicing.

[@snapmalloy5556]

And Rock continued to be dead through the 80's except for a select few...And SRV was at the top of that select few

[@ohdear2275]

I understand your grief. He broke our hearts 💔

[@matthewwynn3025]

I remember being a teenager, when I was first really getting into guitar. Then I heard Stevie, and I was hooked. The music, the Blues. It was an obsession. I was born in the late 90s so I didn't experience the grief of his loss like y'all did. On a more positive note, I can't wait for my amp to get out of the shop, should be ready in a week or two (tubes went bad). Fuck helicopters, he had so much Music left to give, so much life left in him.

[@tedjob21]

This was the first song I ever heard from him on MTV, round the same time you first heard him.

[@brucewhitney6650]

Couldn’t agree more about “everything on the radio was terrible”

[@paolo8306]

Amazing Guitar player so unique!!

[@jimswordsnchords1759]

Nobody played like Stevie. RIP

[@csi2448]

Don't care how many times I watch this. 5:30-5:35 always blows my mind. Stevie could break out the shred/fast playing whenever he wanted to, with such ease! This is easily one of the most unique Pride and Joy performances there was. The little end jam before segueing back into singing was really cool!

[@aloisemason3044]

Sensational..Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble..Stevie the legend he become...blue's and rock n roll is what Stevie gave you in every performance on his legendary guitar..the best that stepped foot on any stage..You rock Stevie..RIP

He is was & always be cooler than the other side of the pillow!!! He could flow from riff to riff so effortlessly. His live vids made me go out and buy a an old kick-a-round guitar after close to 30 yrs. I cleaned it up and tuned it up and it sounds great even with old worn out strings. Thank You Stevie! Plus he said he was self taught & never could read music

[@dennisking3975]

Quite simply, this man, I have never seen or heard his equal. This is the most amazing blues guitarist, I hardly know what to say. I am not necessarily a lues fan but hearing Stevie play has changed all of that! Man wow!!

[@jettking7475]

I never got to see him live. But I did get to speak to him on the phone in 1988 when his producer was in our studio on Queen St. West in Toronto producing someone else and Stevie called looking for him. He was so sweet on the phone. This was just before he died. So close but no cigar. I have gone through brain cancer, and his producer's name has slipped from me. He was cool too and his other artist that he was producing at the time. His music and videos will live forever.

[@yannisbagourdas2898]

spot on...it's like the strings are struck by a force other than human fingers...

[@fukhue8226]

Stevie played in Bloomington Indiana once and a local guitarist we all knew opened up for him. P.K. said he got to meet Stevie backstage before they started and played his guitar. He also said the strings were a heavy gauge and adjusted fairly high off of the neck and Stevie had very strong hands so it was EZ for him to play while average guitar players would struggle. He made it look easy for him because it was. But not for us!

[@peglegjim3124]

And the craziest part? He played entirely by ear & couldn’t read a note of music, just like Dicky Betts. I heard an interview with SRV once, & when asked how he learned to play he said “Jimmy was always jamming in the house with his buddies, and I’d borrow one of his acoustics, go to my room, & try to jam along with what they were playing. One day they heard me practicing, and let me sit in. I was hooked from that day on.” The rest they say “Is history.”
