Stevie Ray Vaughan

[tomballin]

Ok, going to start a SRV Master Series bootleg thread and pull Hardrock69’s thread forward

http://www.rotharmy.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16807

I have a huge library of SRV material. In fact it is my largest music library with over 300 hours of videos, audios, and God knows how many pics and other stuff.

I don’t have time to really develop this thread until next month, but members feel free to post away with your contributions.

===Will start off with this post===

When it comes to awesome Stevie Ray Vaughan on-line audios, this guy is “The Man”.

Each month he changes out his high quality download list..

* Here’s the link *

He has killer stuff again this month for download and it’s very high quality for MP3’s. (320Kbps instead of standard 128Kbps density)

If you are a Vaughan fan, check out his Volume 3 & 4 of
the "Soul To Soul" studio sessions, Dallas - Mar-May 1985

This is some of the greatest in studio SRV material I have every heard. I searched for 6 years to finally get my hands on the 1st generation 18 CD’s Master set from this session, and it was well worth it.

Here’s a write-up and track list for Volume 1 – 4 of the Soul to Soul Session

Enjoy

SMS - Touch the Sky Studio Sessions
March - May 1985 - Dallas & New York City
Ultra Rare & Excellent Quality 320 Kbps MP3’s

In my book, Stevie Ray Vaughan was one of greatest guitars and visionaries that God ever put on this planet. Tremendous tone, soul, and single handedly pioneered the blues-rock movement, started by Johnny Winter and other greats. What really made SRV one of the greatest master musician’s ever, is he could play the fast “in your face” material, AND do incredible soulful slow songs that few in the world can match even today.

SMS - Touch the Sky Studio Sessions, is an ultra rare 18 CD box featuring hours and hours of outtakes from the exhausting 1984-'85 Soul to Soul album sessions, which were held in Dallas and in New York City. Their was a massive volume of SRV material from these sessions, and the master tapes were used by Jimmie Vaughan and Epic Records to produce "The Sky is Crying" and a cover of Hendrix's "Little Wing" for the posthumous “The Sky is Crying album in 1991.

R.A. Note: These are raw “mixed down” studio session copies from 19 years ago. So while the quality is very high for an MP3 format, yes there is some minimal hiss etc in these MP3’s. Of course who doesn’t use a 9-12 band equalizer on their PC media player in this day and age to adjust the sound quality. I rarely hear an MP3 that you don’t have to turn off the 2 KHz band to stop the hiss and over saturation of the treble range.

Secondly, most MP3’s around the internet are 128Kbps. These MP3’s are 2.5 times larger or 320Kbps to increase the re-mixed sounded quality. Unfortunately, they are also 2.5 larger than standard MP3, but still 70% smaller than if provided in FLAC format. - TB

Thanks:

Ok, I owe Sarge about 1/2 GB of new DLR videos and stuff I have, or am cleaning up for R.A. Mods/members. Once I get that done and uploaded, I will posts some really killer and rare SRV videos and stuff.

In fact I will dig on my SRV Hard Drive Monday, and find a really cool video of Stevie on The Arsenio Hall Show, and a cool audio of Stevie on Howard Stern. They are both great.

Personally, I just thank God, I got to see SRV live in '89 and '90, when he was clean and playing the best music of his life. Words couldn’t describe this guy’s on stage presence. Just incredible!

This is an awesome song that Stevie never released while he was alive, but did play during his 1990 Tour before his tragic death. I have a video of SRV playing this at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Morrison Colorado, and the crowd just went bonkers. The guy just smoked the stage, and was totally "dialed in" that night.

Roth Note: Everyone's computer and audio/stereo system is different,
but here are the setting I use, for example, on these SRV In-Studio audios, using a high-end audio card, and stereo speakers/sub-woofer.

I have heard that but unfortuneately never got to experience him myself.

I always wish I had.

Well let me take care of all my other DLR related AV things I need to do, have promised people, then I will pull one of my best videos, and encode it to post a whole live show, in segments. Will not be anytime soon, but if you have not seen SRV live, in the 89 & 90 time period, it will be worth the wait, imo.

St Louis, shortly before SRV's death is one of my favorites, along with Red Rocks. Both incredible concerts. I have the full soundboard audio of his last gig at Alpine Valley, but the video is just fair quality.

Also the production video you can buy of SRV, Austin City Limits, 1989 is an awesome gig. Again, Vaughan just burnt the stage down. Incredible show! Great he put on such an awesome gig on his home turf, before his untimely death the following year.

Problem was however, that the ACL's studio only holds 400 people or so, accordingly, most of the people in Austin, did not get to see that incredible gig live.

I have the whole uncut video, before it was edited into the final version. There is another 7 or 8 songs on that tape, cannot remember the actual number, that were edited out to make the final 50 minutes TV version for PBS. The outtakes are just as good as the final version..
