    Stevie Ray Vaughan

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

    http://www.rotharmy.com/forums/showt...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

    Stevie Ray Vaughan
    Tomba’s Master Series
    The making of "Soul To Soul" - Studio Master Series (SMS)
    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 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..

    I thought you would like the Dave shirt pic, lol.

    After SRV went down hard in 86, and had to go through rehab, it really took him 2 years to get his insides healed up from all his serious drug abuse. The guy got REAL religious after that also.

    I don’t have a favorite Vaughan song, I like it all. He and Hendrix were so far ahead of their field it was incredible.

    I guess I really like SRV’s “rehab” “In Step” album a lot, and him Touring on that album. The video I have of him on The Arsenio Hall Show was in support of his “In Step” Tour.

    Of course, Jimmy Vaughan did a beautiful job putting together SRV’s "The Sky Is Crying" album.

    Back when Stevie was just Jimmy’s runty little brother. No one knew this punk would become one of the greatest musicians to ever grace a stage.

    Ex-trashman, Jimmy Vaughan said it best:

    “I didn’t give a shit if people listened to my music or not. “Stevie…..he would make you listen, whether you wanted to or not”

    1979 - Antoine's, Austin Texas

    Yes, I have the full uncut A+ videos, along with DVD's of both Montreux Festival SRV shows, along with the band talking about both shows. Will have to capture and digitize them however. Yelp, big difference between the first time SRV played Montreux and the second time, hun.

    Also, Sony put those 2 shows out on DVD's, September, 2004. They are available new on the internet for only $15 for both, used for $7 - 8.

    Quotes from famous musicians and singers about Stevie Ray Vaughan

    Eric Clapton
    ---------------
    "I don't think anyone has commanded my respect more, to this day.

    The first time I heard Stevie Ray, I thought, 'Whoever this is is going to shake the world.' It's going to be a long time before anyone that brilliant will come along again."

    "I didn't get to see or hear Stevie play near often enough, but every time I did I got chills and knew I was in the presence of greatness. He seemed to be an open channel and music just flowed through him. It never seemed to dry up."

    Joe Satriani
    --------------
    As a guitar player, he had an incredible signature tone and an extreme intensity. He played one of the most difficult guitars to play - the Fender Stratocaster - and he played with really heavy strings. And he strung it with high action, which means you have to really work harder than anyone to try to get a sound out. But if you've got what it takes, then what comes out is something very big and bold and original.

    In August of 1988, we opened two shows for him at the Pier in New York, and I got to really listen to him up close. You could tell he was always striving to find that magical point. He was good at reaching for the magic and finding it.

    I think what I'll really remember is the way he stood, you know? Sweat-drenched, with his eyes closed, grabbing some incredible note. Someone has to be totally absorbed to play like that. To play that intensely sort of wreaks havoc on the body - it's sort of a painful ecstasy. He played the blues, you know? I guess I'll remember that most of all.

    Robert Cray
    --------------
    I know nobody will ever forget him

    The first time Stevie and I played together was in 1979 at the San Francisco Blues Festival. We did four or five dates together in the bay area and Santa Cruz, switching opening slots, and we became pretty good friends. We had barbeques together down in Santa Cruz.

    We went to pick him up one afternoon for a barbeque, and he was dressed up like Jimi Hendrix - had a Jimi Hendrix wig on and a little short kimono. We were just rowdy youngsters then; we were all between twenty and twenty-five. We'd always run across one another on the road here and there.

    There was always a big hug and "How ya doing?" and stuff like that. This past weekend, I hadn't seen him for a while, and he gave me a big hug.

    Saturday [two days before the accident] was a great day. His brother, Jimmie, came down to the show. We were all taking photos, just clowning around. He was really happy.

    I'll always remember how he kicked my ass all the time on the guitar. It was inspirational, you know?
    John Lee Hooker

    He really had it - his singing, his playing. Really hot stuff. He chopped it up, and really meant it.

    The first time we met was in Austin, Texas at Antone's, and it was him and his brother, Jimmie. That was fifteen or twenty years ago, and at that time he could play tremendously. And I said, "Someday this kid's going to shake the whole world up." And he was one of the nicest people. You couldn't help but like him, you couldn't help but love him. I never cry, but yesterday, when I heard the news, I sat down on my bed and cried like a little baby.
    Bonnie Raitt

    "The most lasting memory of Stevie was his passion. I don't think there is anyone who tears into a song like the way he did. I think Stevie Ray was coming from some place so deep and so beautiful that there's no one you can compare to him."

    I saw him play on Saturday night. He played unbelievably. To me Stevie Ray Vaughan was the greatest blues guitarist. For fire and passion and soulfulness, he was untouchable. He was scary to those of us who watched him. But he was so humble and gracious as a friend, and he wasn't stuck up about his playing.

    Gregg Allman
    -----------------
    I remember when he first came out, he was doing that Hendrix song [Voodoo Chile], and I heard all these people going, "Ah, he's just trying to do Hendrix." But he went a lot further than that. He was absolutely 100-proof, pure blues. Albert Collins, Muddy Waters - the essence of that was in everything he played.

    More than the Allman Brothers, he was straight-down-the-line blues. Stevie was always playing. After he'd get offstage, he'd get on his bus. And he had all these Stratocasters hanging there. He'd grab one and start goin'.

    The Legendary B.B. King
    -------------------------------
    Any time we played together it was exciting. At first, he would always pull punches a bit. So one night I told him, "Play your thing. Go ahead, don't worry about me." And he did. His ideas were limitless. He flowed. He was like water, constantly drippin' with rhythm. It's a loss not just to the music - it's a loss to people as a whole.

    He was just such a nice man. I tell you the truth, it really hurts. The only thing that keeps me from crying is knowing the joy that he brought to us. I can see his smile right now, him sitting there with his Mexican hat on, going, "Hey, it's all right."
    "...he was always quick to show gratitude to me and other artists who have been around. But when it came to playing the blues he earned plenty of respect himself."

    "...the fact is that he affected the way blues will be played and heard forever."

    "I've said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie missed on both counts, but I never noticed."

    Blues Great Albert Collins
    ------------------------------------
    We jammed many times, and I had so much fun. I really miss him. He did some Jimi Hendrix, some Albert King, a little of me, but he had it together for what he wanted to do. He had a direction, and he made it work. The kids really liked his fire.

    The Legendary Buddy Guy
    --------------------------------
    Stevie told me how his brother Jimmie had learned a bit before him, and he kept hearing this record of mine. His brother wouldn't let him listen to it, so he went and stole it. He said,'These are the licks I want.' We laughed about that the night of his tragedy. I'll never forget some of the licks he was playing the last night. I think it was one of his best nights ever.

    It was an honor to have him do [my] tunes, because just like I went to Muddy Waters and paid tribute to him, everyone pays tribute to someone they admired a lot. Music is handed down to the next generation. And he wasn't just some white kid saying,'I got it.' He told the truth.'

    I got this from Buddy Guy or Albert Collins,' or whoever he wanted to talk about. That was some of his greatness.

    All of us have a certain God-gifted talent. Blues was locked out with a skeleton key, but Stevie was the type of person where they gave this guy the key, he opened the door, and threw the damn key away and said, 'All of y'all come in here.

    Let's play and show people how this sh** is supposed to be done.' He was like a brother to me. This year I won three W.C. Handy awards in Memphis, and I had to dedicate them to that kid, because that kid woke blues back up.

    Nile Rodgers
    (Producer of 'Family Style' and 'Let's Dance')
    ------------------------------------------------------
    There was one song on Family Style called "Brothers", and the basic concept was, I guess when Stevie and Jimmie were younger, there may have been just one guitar between them, or just one good guitar. So the way the record works is, they're switching off on the guitar.

    They insisted on doing it live, with Stevie actually taking the guitar out of Jimmie's hands and Jimmie taking the guitar out of Stevie's hands. And when we finished the first take - the one that appears on the album - Stevie pulled me aside while Jimmie wasn't looking. He says, "Nile, I know we thought of this... but I tell you, man, it hurts me to snatch the guitar out of my brother's hands, 'cause I love him so much." I just looked at him. I was really touched.

    I remember when he came to the Power Station to do Let's Dance, he had this certain aura about him. He had this certain vibe. He and I hit it off right away. He picked up some of the guitars and started playing and making his comments. Then he noticed that we were eating barbeque. He says, "Nile, man, I know where the best barbeque in the world is." I said, "Yeah, where, Stevie?". He says, "A place called Sam's Barbeque, down in Texas." And he gets on the phone, and within a few hours there's a box of ribs on its way to New York. That's the kind of guy he was.

    Another time, when I wasn't around, he was playing with some of my guitars, and he broke one of the strings. He wrote me the sweetest little note - it was just very Stevie Ray Vaughan. It said, - I'm doing his voice, you know, 'cause he's got this accent - it said, "Nile, I love your guitars. Sorry, brother, didn't mean to break no straaang."

    Lou Ann Barton
    --------------------
    We first met in around 1975 when Jimmie saw me singing in Dallas and said, "I want you to be in my new band," which was the Fabulous Thunderbirds. Stevie was playing in a band called the Cobras, and after the Thunderbirds and I decided not to work together anymore, I asked Stevie if he wanted to do something with me. We put together a band called Triple Threat. When that band dissolved, we decided just to call it Double Trouble, because he and I were both featured.

    So that was the original Double Trouble. This is just too close to home - this is family. He and Jimmie couldn't be any closer to me than my own brothers. We've lived together for almost twenty years, lived in the same neighborhood and actually raised each other. We came up from the depths when we were getting fifty cents a night per head to play R&B, which nobody liked, and being white kids as well - he really worked hard to make his success possible. He was just so damned talented.

    Lonnie Mack
    ---------------
    I first heard Stevie at a little club around the corner from Antone's. He was just a really good player. He had his own thing, but you could hear bits and pieces of other things. I could hear some of my things in there. His brother told me that Stevie listened to a lot of my old records. He particularly liked the lick on "Chicken Pickin'" and the riff on "Wham!".

    As I got to know him better, it was easy to see that he had a really good spirit. Stevie was a giver, man - not only to his friends but to everybody. He was a very spiritual person. I used to tease him that he was the only guy I knew that had an old head on a young body.

    He played his complete self through that guitar. And he knew that playing music wasn't about who sounded better than who else. It was the style that counted, and it was about having a good time.

    Steve Winwood
    -------------------
    If there's a difference between a musician and a performer, Stevie was a musician. He was interested in the purity of his sound. He thoroughly mastered the intricacies of his instrument, and he really knew how to make his guitar speak. But when we jammed, he wouldn't try and hog all the solos. He was a very generous player.

    Stevie Ray Vaughan
    “Little Wing” – The Video
    From the Posthumous 1991 Grammy Winning Album,
    “The Sky is Crying”


    The music video "Little Wing," Stevie Ray Vaughan's instrumental cover of this great and soulful Jimi Hendrix classic. This 6:51 minute video features photos and clips of SRV & Double Trouble, along with archival footage of blues greats from the 1920s to the mid-1990s, that influenced SRV, from Leadbelly, B.B. King, to Stevie's close friend and mentor, blues legend Buddy Guy.

    It also includes photos and video snippets of many of SRV's hangouts in Austin, including Antoine's, the Continental Club, Rome Inn, Austin Recording Studios (ARS), and the Austin music store, “Heart of Texas”, where Stevie bought his #1 guitar and many more over the years.

    Throughout the video are clips showing a tour of the Fender Custom Shop guitar factory. Blue's legends Albert King and Albert Collins are shown holding and playing Fender's Custom Shop, SRV Signature Model Stratocaster.

    If you're even a part-time blues fan, this is a soulful compilation and tribute video, to the greatest blues-rock guitarist to ever transcend this planet, Stevie Ray Vaughan, RIP. - tb.

    Ok, I checked out the above audio, to make sure I was accurate, because I didn't have this show, and it's great for 128 Kbps MP3 audios, after giving it a listen.

    Yes, this bootleg is SRV with Double Trouble Live at The Reading Festival, Reading, England, 8/27/83, and was a radio broadcast.

    It's a very nice bookend to the video and/or audio of SRV with Double Trouble Live at the El Mocambo, Toronto, Ontario, 7/11/83, that was broadcast on Canadian television.

    SRV does a great job on I'm Leaving You (Before I Commit a Crime), which he didn't play at the El Mocambo gig.
