I already posted the studio version of this song but If you haven't seen this live version from the Crossroads music festival you are missing out.

Thread LONG overdue.

An Hero I've always enjoyed the stuff you posted in various other threads on the genre. You have great taste bud.

SRV and this particular performance to me is the ultimate essence of what my definition of blues is. If anybody asks me why I compose my own music or play guitar I point them to this particular performance.

Been listening to a lot of Bonamassa lately.

Listen to the solo 3:45 on.

His live improvs on it are amazing as well:

That dude is good, but sounds a lot like an SRV clone

I've gotta say that this is probably one of the best performances ever!

This is just one of the most badass songs that you can play. Also, of course the fact that SRV is playing it. All his **** is amazing, but "this" performance is just perfection. He's just in a groove that he never deviates from. It's as if he is is not just playing the guitar, but is "one" with the guitar.

I heard a quote somewhere about Clapton on SRV. He said something along the lines of SRV getting into a "channel" and staying in this "channel" throughout the song. I think this is best captured in this performance of SRV - Voodoo Child at Al Mocambo. (all performances amazing at El Mocambo!) Enjoy!

I love SRV, but my favorite songs of his are the ones where he actually deviated from the blues formula a bit:

oh yeah and obviously his Hendrix covers are amazing
