In this video, we explore Stevie Ray Vaughan's iconic cover of "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" from his second album, "Couldn't Stand the Weather" (1984). Vaughan, a devoted admirer of Jimi Hendrix, believed it was crucial for people to hear Hendrix's music. Though he remained faithful to the original, Vaughan infused the track with his unique style, making it his own. Sam Kemp of Far Out magazine and Damian Fanelli of Guitar World both praise Vaughan's ability to smooth out Hendrix’s experimental edges without losing the music’s power or excitement, effectively introducing Hendrix's avant-garde blues to a new generation. Vaughan often performed "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" live, with standout versions included on the albums "Live Alive" (1986) and "Live at Montreux 1982 & 1985" (2001). Join us as we celebrate Vaughan's incredible talent and his heartfelt homage to Hendrix.

Stevie Ray was once asked about fame. He said "It don't matter much. When you get home you're still the guy who has to take out the garbage".
-
Texas Flood Live at El Mocambo is arguably the greatest SRV performance ever. Top 3 live performances ever.
-
Jimi invented it. Stevie Ray perfected it.
-
You're witnessing the greatest guitarist to ever breathe oxygen. PERIOD!!!
-
Now that you've had a primer, you probably are ready to see him in the live performance of "Texas Flood"😉👍☺️💕
-
Before he passed; and before they passed; Stevie played with many of the Blues masters; and they were always in awe of him. Vice versa, of course.👍
-
This got you ready for Texas Flood
-
Eric Clapton once said Stevie Ray was the best blues guitar player ever.
-
SRV belongs in a class by himself.

A true Texas legend right there. He is so loved that we actually have a statue of him in Austin. Nobody compares to Stevie Ray. Nobody. I will say this though, if y'all dont watch Jeff Healey and Stevie Ray Vaughan " Look at Little Sister", y'all will be missing a performance of a lifetime. Not to mention," Texas Flood-Live at El Mocambo ". Both performances will have you standing on your feet. Definitely standing ovation performances. Oh, Jeff Healey was blind, so he used a different style/technique to play. Treat yourselves and watch it even if you don't react to it. 👌💯

One of the wah wah pedals SRV used once belonged to Jimi Hendrix. Saw him live in 1986.❤No words to describe the greatness.

Voodoo Child is a Jimi Hendrix song! He worshipped Jimi. “ Texas Flood” is incredible. The great Tommy Shannon on bass- who used to back the other genius Texas Blues artist: Johnny Winter. Theres fabulous video of one of the kings of the blues , Albert King, mentoring and jamming with Stevie. The old masters loved him dearly.

Stevie Ray is a great of a player that has ever been. Nobody was better, maybe as good but not better. He was at one with his instrument. Texas Flood live at Mocambo is amazing, One of the finest live performances ever captured on video.
-
Props to the drummer and bass. He plays this slightly differently every time and they just play along and keep the beat.
-
"Mary had a little lamb" from this concert. Also, "Texas Flood" live at El Mocambo.
-
Stevie actually did the guitar work on David Bowie's hit let's dance"
-
Stevie Ray Vaughan started playing his guitar under his mentor, Albert King when he was 9 years old. Stevie Ray is the quintessential blues guitarist. I saw him at the Ocean center in Daytona in 87 with Gregg allman. It was like being struck by lightning!

Texas Flood live at El Mocombo. Best ever.
