In this comparison video, we dive deep into the evolution of the iconic bass line from Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Texas Flood," contrasting the original studio version with the electrifying live rendition from the legendary "In Session" performance featuring Albert King and SRV.

We'll explore the nuances in Tommy Shannon's bass work in the original track, highlighting its groove, tone, and how it locks in with SRV's scorching guitar riffs. Then, we'll switch gears to the live version, where Gus Thornton's bass takes on a different character under the influence of Albert King's blues mastery. This version not only captures the spontaneous energy of the live performance but also showcases how the interaction between King and Vaughan brought a fresh, dynamic feel to the rhythm section. Whether you’re a bass aficionado or a blues enthusiast, this comparison will deepen your appreciation for the artistry behind one of the most memorable blues tracks ever recorded.
