Jeff Beck and Stevie Ray Vaughan – Goin’ Down

Jeff Beck and Stevie Ray Vaughan – Goin’ Down – Live, MTV Bootleg Show, 1989.

Very difficult to find a cover that does Freddie justice. Leave it to Jeff and Stevie to fix that problem!

This live performance tells us many things, (the obvious great guitarists performances, etc). But what absolutely amazes me, is that Jeff was aware of being in the presence and on stage with something awesome.

Jeff is in a league by himself. As Clapton said he pulls sounds out of the air. Loved to play with others he respected and SRV was one of those. He never tried to outdo another guitarist he played with. Class act!

Lyrics:
I’m going down
I’m going, down, down, down, down, down
Yes, I’m going down, yes
I’m going down, down, down, down, down
Yes, I’ve got my feet in the window
Got my head on the ground

Let me down
And close that box car door
Yes, let me down
And close that box car door
Well, I’m goin’ back to Chattanooga
And sleep on sister Irene’s door

Yes, I’m going down
I’m going, down, down, down, down, down
I’m going down
I’m going down, down, down, down, down
Yes, I’ve got my feet in the window
Got my head on the ground
