Stevie Ray Vaughan Raw Interview

Austin Opera House

[@s550danny]

Watching him without a guitar is so weird, and thinking about what he could do with it is even weirder. Absolute master

[@rolandjgutierrez4147]

I was thinking the same and these guys are friends no one is in charge these guys where true friends SRV does not even over shadow double it's like there one Imo if one of the other would have passed away it would had the same effect as SRV passing away.they were 3 then four equals they became one unit sad this SRV passing was f$%# up...

[@aloisemason3972]

Well..it's like this..why would Chris Layton just ramble on about nothing when Stevie Ray Vaughan should be doing the interview and Chris walks out like hey..Im the legend speak to me and if I can quit stumbling around I'll do the talking and I think Stevie Ray Vaughan was trying to cover up how Chris Layton was acting for the interviewer..r u with me? But..nothing has been noted that Chris got any rehab..

[@subversivelysurreal3645]

Imagine telling Stevie Ray Vaughan, or any other artist for that matter, ‘Football comes First’ on their live tv promotional spot.😳Imagine knowing someone who did that.😳 I CANT IMAGINE BEING INSIDE of her head…WTF?!🤣 ‘Hi, Mom!’

[@michelleagleton2344]

​@subversivelysurrseal3645. She was weird- Stevie walked around her pretty quickly.

[@dirkgibbens377]

SRV was always so soft spoken, especially considering how raw and gritty his singing voice was

[@LisaGrisham]

Stevie Ray Vaughan is a "Blue's and Rock Master" his playing, and singing were, and still are phenomenal. I consider Chris Layton the best drummer ever. 🙏💞

[@matthewsolina4920]

Stevie was obviously a gifted player, but Double Trouble were a phenomenal rhythm section. Super tight and dynamic. Those guys deserve more credit.

[@dirkgibbens377]

Absolutely!

[@ecwwwrasslin7663]

Truth

[@angielooney]

I agree with you absolutely 200 percent!

[@1101964]

The greatest guitarist in my opinion. Love and miss you stevie

[@chris7077]

I miss these days. Long before cell phones and the internet destroyed civilization.

[@angielooney]

I do too.

[@waxblue]

No kidding wish we could go back

[@alanberg5575]

You got that right!

[@subversivelysurreal3645]

It wasn’t cell phones or the internet that ‘destroyed civilisation’, but the people who tried to kill FDR never giving up on destroying unions, crushing high taxes on the very wealthiest, destroying the minimum wage, crushing Glass Stegall, (which separated commercial or ordinary banking from financial services) and introducing NAFTA (US job destroyer), and finally--legalizing bribery by adopting ‘Citizens United’. Remember that the eighties were called *the me generation* for a reason-and Stevie WAS a respite from THAT.❤Live MUSIC❤ SRV and Double Trouble❤

[@subversivelysurreal3645]

their existence, SRV and Double Trouble’s existence DID, in fact, make John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley (thank you The Clash!) and others who were just living in pretty low income situations-die monied, as people did go out and buy blues records by these guys and others.

[@sandraritter6399]

I definitelyove Stevie even though he's gone to heaven. I still continue to listen to his music almost every day.

[@bohemiangardensandgourdfar8812]

Stevie Ray... the master blues guitarist.

Thank you Stevie 😊 💓 🎸 ...so very grateful for Steve

Besides looking for my Parents and grandparents when I pass,, Stevie will be next on my list to find

[@AdrianAndersson]

Never seen before, this could be when he played at the Austin Opera House 14-15.10.1988. Great upload!

[@angielooney]

It was! We got to interview him ahead of time. Lots of fun.

[@heartoftexan]

I saw Stevie open up for Johnny Winter there in '81. The Austin Opry House was Willie's place, part recording studio, part performance hall, lotsa places for musicians to hang out and jam.

[@MrBighairyass]

That would have been so cool to be in that band...

[@rexoates3353]

Those guys were the best of friends. You can tell.

[@MrPnew1]

Tommy is great too

[@michelleagleton2344]

@@Vickytoriahirt1234 Because he has this kind of cross-eyed, wall-eyed stare that people can get when they are under the influence of one thing or another. Why do you ask?

[@donnix768]

I believe Stevie and Tommy were both clean and sober by this time. Layton was no stranger to partying but was not in as dire of a situation as his band mates. Although he(Layton)does seem to have done a few bumps here, he seems to have some jabber jaws going on here. What a great band, a damn shame someone as genuine and real as SRV, a virtuoso player, a down to earth person was taken. Rip

[@BlindMellowJelly]

I remember them all being kinda hyper especially when their bus would pull in. Not sure anyone could ever say they were always amped just because they were like that naturally. They loved what they did and did it well and had a habit of faking out interviewers to avoid talking to them. Good to see so many posted. Great Post

[@zjenthusiast3037]

I wouldn’t use the term down to earth with this one…

[@donnix768]

@@zjenthusiast3037 Stevie?? All I can go off is what I have seen on tape. There is an instance where a blues band was playing(not sure what venue, it was small and local)around 1988 and SRV was there just hanging out. They asked him to come up on stage and he does. He played tastefully and and fit in with the group, not once stepping on anyone’s toes or showing up the other players. Seems pretty humble to me.

I worked at Huts Hamburgers in Austin. My boss was friends with him and there were pics of srv on the wall with a Huts t shirt on.. I really miss that place since we closed it down. Classic Austin.

[@blakjack3053]

Side note, I use ten guage guitar strings on my Strat and it feels pretty stiff but SRV used frickin thirteens! And all Fender Strats come out of the factory with the recommended nine guage strings!
