One of his best versions, for sure. Mind-melting and gut-wrenching at the same time! That whole DVD is full of premium stuff, and I was lucky enough to find it on the clearance rack of my local used book store (in near-mint condition) for $3!

Hi thats what we call blues, this is the way to play blues with heart and soul.
Nobody ever can touch SRV, gone to soon, but left so much behind for years and years study for future generations.
Peace Strat58

To this day I've yet to find anyone that does it any better than that! Greatest ever in my book.

His tone at that Mocambo show is just ridiculous. The best live strat tone I've ever heard.

The El Mocambo is some of my favorite SRV, and my favorite Strat tone ever! He was still young and hungry on this one, and out to prove something. Not that I don't love later SRV, but this early stuff just has something extra IMO.

Heart & soul...a master
I've seen/heard it a million times yet I can't turn it off after hitting play! At 5:42 it's like he's trying to tell us a special message
RIP
