17 Years Ago We Lost Stevie Ray Vaughan... On August 27th, 1990. Hard to believe it's been that long...Such an influential guitarist - just take a listen to anything by John Mayer or Kenny Wayne Shepherd.
Here's one of my fave SRV performances: http://www.youtube.com/wa...7CUuWgZdh4 From that same appearance: http://www.youtube.com/wa...mcXhup05NA http://www.youtube.com/wa...CcO7gMmIEM My author page: https://www.amazon.com/au...eretttruth | |

Stevie Ray Vaughan's uniquely eclectic and fiery style sounded like no other guitarist, regardless of genre - a leading light in American blues. STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN LIVE: PLAY HARD & FLOOR IT! showcases the guitar master's career with some of his finest performances caught on tape. Friend and Double Trouble bandmate drummer Chris Layton gives context to the performances in on-camera interviews. The special begins with Stevie Ray's debut at the 1982 Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland — an 'electric' unknown added to an acoustic blues night at the last minute. The songs were met by boos from an audience expecting a laid back evening of unadorned music, but today's audiences experience an archival gem of a star's early promise on "Pride & Joy" and "Texas Flood." Almost three years to the day, Stevie Ray headlined the 1985 Montreux festival to raves from a sold-out crowd, highlighted in the special with "Cold Shot," "Scuttle Buttin'" and "Say What!". At Toronto's tiny El Mocambo club, the historic venue hosted an intense Stevie Ray set in 1983, living up to this compilation's title of PLAY HARD & FLOOR IT! with "Love Struck Baby," and Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)." The special closes with performances from the height of Stevie Ray's career in his hometown of Austin, Texas in 1989, a year before his tragic death. Fans enjoyed pure magic that night including his #1 hit "Crossfire," the instrumental "Riviera Paradise," "Tightrope" and "The House is Rockin'," all preserved in this special as a tribute to his talent. Song List "Pride & Joy" (Montreux 1982) "Texas Flood" (Montreux 1982) "Cold Shot" (Montreux 1985 with Johnny Copeland) "Scuttle Buttin'" (Montreux 1985) "Say What!"

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 This is great, I watched it last week. At the end of the day though, the Live at the El Macambo disk is just the footage that leaves my jaw on the floor everytime I watch it. He hadn't become as popular and the sweat pouring onto the strat almost comes out of the screen. | |

Man do I miss him. I was watching Jimmy at the Crossroads festival last month and hearing Stevie in his voice almost made me cry. | |

wow, I can't believe it's been 17 years since Stevie passed. My husband is a huge fan so I do hear his music often in my house. He was definitely a very talented man. | |

As good as a vocalist Jimmy is and as awsome a guitar player he is, he always has his brother Stevie's legacy hanging over him...even in the aftermath of his death. Stevie was such an exceptional artist!!! Gone way too soon!  | |

Live at the El Mocambo is awesome... highly recommend it for anyone wanting to see SRV live... I like the stripped down trio format... SRV and double trouble...
His style is so flowing and seems so loose... but he doesn't seem to hit a wrong note. playing guitar was just like breathing to him. [Edited 8/29/07 9:01am] | |

I saw it over a week ago while channel surfing. I was hooked, then became pumped watching him play my song "Riviera Paradise." Time really flies by. "Funkyslsistah… you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude"!
