Stevie Ray Vaughan “Pride and Joy” Live Acoustic —Video
Here’s a high-quality clip of Stevie Ray Vaughan performing “Pride and Joy” in January 1990 during his MTV Unplugged taping.
Vaughan uses a 12-string Guild, which gives the song a completely different vibe than the original, full-band recording.
“Pride and Joy” originally appeared on his 1983 Epic Records debut, Texas Flood.
It’s a special moment to hear the crowd clapping along as SRV tears up the solo.
