Played this for my father as he was slipping away. In his last hours he was very restless. But when he heard this, he completely calmed down. Not long after, that was it. This song was always special before that, but it’s beyond special now, for sure.

[@patbelcher2712]

I am so very sorry for your loss. My precious husband passed away on Father's Day 2022, only five weeks after we learned he had lung cancer. That is when I discovered first hand that music calms those who are in transition, and makes their passing much easier for them. I hope that when my time comes to leave this life, someone will love me enough to let me leave in the peace that hearing a favorite song brings.

So soulful, shaken but not stirred, Stevie. My Auntie was a straight BB King fan. When I was growing up that is all she played. When I got older, I heard Stevie, I was amazed! I took the tape to her and let me tell you, from my Aunt, she said, "A white man playing and singing like that, surely he's got that BB thang, he is a soul Brother! She was from the deep south, she knew the blues. She was simply amazed at Stevie. She became his number one fan after that. No higher compliment can I give than this of my Auntie's experience. She was moved by Stevie, and Stevie was justified as a blues artist to her. RIP Stevie, you are loved and you live in our hearts and minds.

[@stirfinan1]

Guitar players would know how hard to play this good while your tone is that clean. You have literally zero chance to make a mistake. Even the slightest note or mistake that doesn't belong to the song will reveal himself and sound HUGE. The man was an amazing guitar player. RIP Stevie.

[@ajh.7]

It sounds like he has a pretty heavy noise pedal, and yet is still able to play such dynamics, crazy

[@slimmyjimmy2848]

That's why in my opinion you should try to learn every song on acoustic or at least on a really clean tone so you hear every mistake.

[@Slugg-O]

The Stratocaster is a difficult instrument to master and to say that Stevie made it look easy would be an understatement. He touched countless lives with this song when it was recorded just as he still does today. No exaggeration here. The man had a gift that could be seen, heard and felt in the soul and he shared it with everyone. I've read stories about some very well respected musicians who appeared humble and kind until a story eventually emerged that showed their true colors and busted their perfect image wide open, but not SRV. He battled his demons like many great artists but never, not a single time, did I ever read or hear anything about him being a jerk or anything less than the humble, kind and giving person we saw on stage. He was genuine. You don't have to like his music but if you listen to this song and don't get where I'm coming from then I feel sorry for you because you're missing one of life's greatest gifts.

[@netrioter]

You need Rory Gallagher in your life...Jimi called him the best in the world for a reason. Master of the Stratocaster

[@Slugg-O]

@@netrioter Rorey was phenomenal. Another one gone too soon.

[@finkboy66]

He played with telephone cables as strings - anywhere from .012 to .017 depending on his finger strength at the time. The old guitar playing adage that the heavier the strings, the bigger the sound was certainly true in his case

[@alexlazarescu3869]

The only thing i disagree with is the stratocaster claim you made at the start. Give SRV a cigar box guitar and a slide and hell still rock better than most. Its about mastering the guitar in general, nothing to do with the model.

[@wannaberabbi9302]

Guilherme Gonçalves interesting analogy. I started out with 10s on a strat while most people would start out on 9s and that made a lot of difference regarding my playing. I remember how painful bending was on those strings when I was starting to build callouses.

I was 6 years old and camping with my dad the first time I heard this song. It was a terrible storm that night and we were forced to spend the night in the car on an overlook. SRV Rivera Paradise then became my favorite song. I made him play it for ...2 hours straight, on a cassette tape mind you. We would play it and rewind it over and over, while the rain poured and lightning struck all around. I attribute this moment in life to be the main reason I play blues guitar now. This is a beautiful composition!

If ever there was an artist that bore their soul by way of instrument, it was Stevie. He told stories and spoke to your heart and soul with his playing. R.I.P. Brother😎🙏☝️

[@thomasprejean2107]

One of the prettiest songs ever. This version was on his best hits.

Just keeps going. At a furious pace!

[@lesheath6216]

Like a Texas Flood!

[@suzysrvgirl4ever164]

And I very seriously doubt that anyone will ever get remotely close to playing like he did. He felt everything he played. He played with such fervor, passion, soulfulness and effortless brute strength and never, ever seemed lost as to what he would play next. He was coming from someplace so deep and beautiful that there’s no one you can compare him to. God, I still miss him so very much. I will never get over his passing 😔

[@csi2448]

This song never fails to take you to a different place. A place of calming and relaxation. I always loved the smile Stevie flashed at Reese after he slayed that keyboard solo. And Stevie's smile at the very end is so bittersweet. To think he was gone less than a year after this performance

Timothy Howard : It was so SRV to have said that!

[@rushfanjames2112]

Timothy Howard This masterpiece does that! Some of Johnny Cash’s do that for me also. You just close your eyes and forget about things for awhile. R.I.P. Stevie We all love ya!

[@rushfanjames2112]

Taavi1337 Disagree. The context and mood of the song was perfect for a keyboard solo of that quality.

[@MartinMartinez-ld8qj]

@@Taavi1337 If you don't like this keyboard solo, check out the one from the CD called "Sacred Sources". It's another live performance, but I don't know from which show, or from when.

Jesus, 30 something years later from having watched that episode of Austin City Limits, the shear artistry and musical virtuosity if Stevie Ray Vaughan playing this song still brings tears to my eyes.

[@patroski-mavoski]

@@aryasenaputra3226 is there a reason why he would have it so high? I've always been taught that having it high is not good. Now I'm here wondering if someone on this level of guitarmanship like SRV has it so high, is it indeed a bad thing?

[@wisdomoverfear2685]

If you look closely you'll see the action on the guitar is absurdly high...with a set of .013 high e. string ! Nobody on this planet could play this on that guitar ! I rember a long time ago reading in a guitar magazine he liked the high action and heavy strings because he wanted his guitar to fight back ! Truly a one of a kind musician ! He was something special and sorely missed !

[@Mopartoolman]

Stevie Ray was the best, no question. He played from the heart, and he had more soul than anyone else out there! I am so glad, and quite proud of the fact that I got to see him just a year before he passed. We all love you Stevie, and may God’s speed be with you!!!

[@elSqueakador]

Where did you see him and please try to put into words what it was like?

[@Angelo-kv7qp]

I grew up listening to Carlos Santana, and I have to agree with you. Stevie was the best. He could play anything, Blues, Soul , Rock and put them together at any time.

[@Mopartoolman]

Same here. I was actually listening to Santana before I found out about Stevie Ray. I still listen to both of them every day.

Facts

[@gburcalow]

I visited Stevie's gravesite in Dallas a few months ago. Aside from some guitar picks, to which I contributed one of my favorites that I always carried in my wallet, there was not much in the way of tributes on his gravesite. I am assuming he cemetery removes flowers and such after a certain amount of time. The plot is very small and in a sort of island between roadways. I first heard of Stevie's music when I was working in a nightclub in Dallas. I was into hard rock back then, such as Ozzy, Sabbath, Van Halen, etc. Little did I know that this man would change music forever. This song is one that I would love to be played at my own funeral. Stevie said, "this goes out everybody who is still suffering in any way". In these times, aren't we all? This song has always brought me peace. I know Stevie gave up substance abuse right before his death and was getting his life right. Just hoping I can do the same.

[@xaidensgrandpa]

Chill jam after a long day at work. Grab a beer, close your eyes and just absorb. RIP Stevie!

[@kevinnobody3052]

This is the song that really turned me on to SRV and Double Trouble. Been a fan ever since.
