[@mbsheisey]

[@Texas_Flood_L8Gr8SRV]

100% times infinity!!!!!

[@larryhaase7132]

Hell yeah, me too , I have srv on all my cards and bikes lol, most people don't even know who he is , I never stopped listening to him ever since I was a small boy and Heard my uncle listening to live montreaux, Texas flood I was hooked. It's what All my guitars listen to when I'm not home , number 1 is there idol lol 😜👍rip Stevie. Hope to meet you someday on the other side, god couldn't wait to hear him . Dude was genuine as u could get

[@lthoedt]

@@larryhaase7132 Yup, i have t-shirts and hoodie's of him and pretty much nobody recognizes the SRV logo.

[@JimmyRockNRollSandweiss]

I worked for Stevie Wonder at Wonderland Studios for many years as Chief Engineer

[@Deayjay]

You are the man! I've seen your name on his album covers and such! Cheers!

These two Maestros rehearsing beats the crap out of 98% of todays junk.

[@truefunksoul8638]

Only 98%?

[@marrop2760]

..er... Prodigies!! lol

[@joelliotjake1]

98% because the 8 tone deaf thumbs fown

[@thespiritof76..]

Don’t forget who’s on bass, the king of the bass world Mr Victor Wooten

[@gautamdevgun333]

@@thespiritof76.. Actually the guy's stage name is Brownmark (Mark Brown). He was the bass player for Prince from 1981 to 1986. One of the most underrated and obscure musicians from that era. He has a KZbin channel, do check him out.

This video is a jewel!!! Greetings from Uruguay!!!

[@aloisemason3044]

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Stevie Wonder..two musical legends on stage and they are SENSATIONAL..great entertainment and there performance is the best..the band is terrific..thank u u tube..You cant get better entertainment then what your seeing..

[@3SeveredHeads]

So blessed we have this on film to watch all these yrs later...❤ RIP SRV ❤❤

[@rogerrowles8702]

Historically Great And A "Precious" , Moment In Time !! 😮

[@scorpichella]

One of (the many) great things about SRV is that he was just a huge fan who got to play along with many of his hero’s and it never changed him for the worse. He was always humble and still learning from the greats at every opportunity 💛

[@enoughcorruption5975]

Great footage! Seeing these legends so happy and the mutual respect!!! Extraordinary!

[@maryj.3876]

SRV so precise and fast in this -- not easy playing with Stevie Wonder's jaw-dropping synthesizer and musical timing and BrownMark's bass. They're all simply phenomenal... They have so much music in their very souls that it just pours out. I can't believe how many people are milling around to fix the tech just right. And it's the artists who make it work -- they have supernatural hearing.

[@johnathanraye5346]

[@BigF350SD]

SRV is always fast and precise. After all, he is the G.O.A.T. 🐐

[@bethnalley6037]

oh my god......two genius's at work here!!! couldn't be better! I loved SRV and I love Stevie W.

[@BLUUZYDUDE]

WOW, two of my favorites together at the same time. I'm satisfied. Great lost treasure.

[@MastaPiff414]

Thx for this video! 2 legends just jammin'! 3:34...? Never heard Stevie Ray do a slide similiar to this and that sound is out of nowhere! Not even finished watching this but had to timestamp that! More please! Thx Stevie's! 🤯😂🤗🥳

[@malcolmcooke2024]

He was a great slide player

BB King does it often

[@franciscopiaggio1483]

stevies sense of rythm is amazing

[@bnastali]

What a thrill for a huge SRV fan find this gem tonite! Unique pairing of souls who "talk" music that tickles the ears and heart.

[@Chrisamos412]

Two incredible talents having a blast!

[@Dan-sb2fb]

i love how much fun they're having

[@michaelsnyder6922]

I've always wanted to be famous enough that I could wear a cape

[@marrop2760]

We're all famous - wear it well

[@thespiritof76..]

Wear your cape buddy, an don’t let anyone tell you different

[@esquibelle]

Famous as Dracula?

[@maureendrozda9033]

I Don't Think It's About Fame....With Stevie Ray - It Just Fits HIS Style - Like His TAIL! SO SRV!❤🎸❤

Damn! Where did you dig this one up, crazy! I've taped the actual broadcasted show in those days, but this is so much better. Thank you for posting this.

[@maureendrozda9033]

LOVE LOVE LOVE THE CAPE, STEVIE RAY!! GOES SO WELL WITH THE PLUME! WHY DID THEY MAKE YOU DO IT TWICE, THOUGH - FIRST TIME WAS GREAT! DID THEY REALLY NEED THE "FOG"? I JUST LOVE YOU TWO STEVIE'S TOGETHER!😘🎸💞🎹🔥🔥🔥

[@user-qr8ki8ue4i]

Omg. Priceless.

[@user-qr8ki8ue4i]

And the last couple minutes...Stevie W taking a turn on #1...poignant.

[@joelliotjake1]

Truly a gem of video

[@stephensuddick1896]

Stevie and Stevie! Awesome!

[@hondolama]

Talk about Pure Musical Joy (PMJ). There's a lot of "dross" and downtime in this video with stage hands helping the musicians get their instruments prepared for recording, I think. But, wow!, when you see the two Stevies trading licks it's all worth it. I actually love the rawness of this piece. Thank you for no edits! Watching stuff like this just reminds me what a loss we suffered when SRV taken from us. God has His timing and ways, but I sure wish Stevie Ray Vaughn was still with us.

[@damonjohnson8337]

I couldn't agree more. This raw footage is stellar. I love how SRV occasionally looks over to SW with the biggest smile on his face. You can surely tell that SRV is having a blast jamming with one of his favorite artists and I love that. I sure do miss him too and I wish he were still with us.

[@davidfowler76]

No doubt. I agree. I was born in 1991 unfortunately and missed him being here with us but there isn’t anything I haven’t seen or read with SRV. He crosses my mind at least once a day can’t go a few hours without putting on Lenny or him jamming with Albert king. He’s why I learned to half ass play guitar. One of a kind there will never and I mean ever be another Stevie. If he’s impacted my life this much without being on earth I could only imagine going to a live show. I would cut off one of my hands no questions asked to go back in time and revel in the greatness

[@johnathanraye5346]

This is for MTV

[@maureendrozda9033]

It's "A STEVIE Thing"! So Much FUN!! So....I Guess Recording Stevie Wonders' Music Was NOT "Sacreligeous" Like You Were Told, SRV...You Were Right! And He Sure Loved You! I Can't Believe You've Been Gone From Us For SO Long😢....But You Left Us With Such Incredible Music & Collaborations....You're Right Here After All - Till We All Meet Again❤🎸

[@charliesullivan1886]

Yeah me too. Such a loss.my brother turned me on to Stevie years ago and I can't get enough of his playing. I practice him every day. Especially Texas Flood and Pride and joy, my two favorites. All his music is great 👍🏽. Taken way too soon from us.

[@ChewTimer]

I worked on the recording I still have the Sweat Shirt in my closet. I love you Stevie and Stevie. Jimmy "Rock N Roll" Sandweiss

[@southernstingray2743]

Epic footage, choice vid cheers. I never got to see SRV but I saw Stevie Wonder backed up by Legendary Aussie larrikin and singer songwriter Jon Farnham band in 1981. The power of both artists voices was astonishing. They performed a duo singing together. But when Stevie Wonders roadies wheeled out a drum kit on a small platform on castor wheels,we thinking what's going on? Then they walk out Stevie Wonder to the said drum kit and he blows 8000 people's minds with incredible drumming,man what show that was. 👍🍻🦘🇦🇺

[@Glengagnonsr]

WOW!!!! POWERFUL .

Simply badass

[@kassemir]

Wow, that was really cool to get to check out in such detail. And at 1:21:43 Stevie was playing what to me looks like a guitar I haven't seen him play before :D Would've been a little bit cooler though if it hadn't all been sing back thouhg, but hey, still very cool to get to check out. Thanks a million for posting it on here :D

[@truefunksoul8638]

Isn't it just the drum track pre-recorded by Stevie? They appear to be singing and playing for real, and at one point after a take of the Superstition dress rehearsal Jody is embarrassed because she had forgotten the words during that take. Stevie Ray's vocal takes sound different as well, or are you referring to Come Baby Let Your Love Come Down when it's only the two legends?
