Repost: Stevie Ray Vaughan - Love Struck Baby

 I posted a version of this song before. It was the version where Stevie plays the song live with Colin James. That video has been taken down from youtube, so I thought I'd post another version of the song. (click here for previous posted entry)
This version is from 1987 in New Orleans. It's a great version of the song. It's an extended version in terms of musical improvisation. There's a piano solo by Reese Wynans, and then after that Stevie goes into a guitar solo. He pretty much does the standard version of the solo, but adds a lot of new things to it. Of course he shows off and puts the guitar behind his head and keeps playing. And after that he just extends the solo even more.
It's one of those performances where Stevie was just feeling it, and started playing new stuff on the spot. I love both versions of this, but since the old version has been taken down from youtube, I'd say this is at least as good. Though you can't really judge performances like that.

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Lookin' Out The Window

This is a performance by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble. It's a performance from Italy 1988 of "Lookin' Out The Window" and it's a typical blues tune. I really like the tempo and feel of this song, kinda reminds me of electric versions of "Key To The Highway", same chord structure, but still different.
I really love the piano solo from Reese Wynans who joined the band in 85 for their third studio album "Soul to Soul". He was a wonderful addition, not just studio-wise, but also in the band's live performances.

Enjoy ; )
