He played guitar with Dick Dale on stage. It was very cool & it was a prominent scene.

SRV and Dick Dale played "Pipeline." It is available on some of SRV's "Best of " CD's.

You can hear an excerpt here. It is track # 11.

Here's the music video they made out of the song and clips from the movie. It is actually longer than the actual movie sequence, as in the film SRV and Dale are playing in a club while other stuff happens in the film.

Here's a better version of SRV playing "Pipeline." It's not from this movie--it is part of a jam where Stevie and Jimmie play together--literally. The "Pipeline" part comes at the last part of the jam.

Thanks for those clips. Unfortunately, the second one was removed.

I'm watching the movie right now, and Stevie is in for just a minute or so, and they don't play the complete "Pipeline." This movie is really stupid -- probably intentionally so -- but it has great music!

Here's a music video on YouTube of Dick Dale and SRV performing "Pipeline" from start to finish, with clips from the movie "Back to the Beach" thrown in. (In the movie, they didn't do the entire song, just a portion of it, so I'm glad somebody had the bright idea of making a music video of the two of them doing the entire song.) RIP SRV

I saw this movie back in the 80's when I was young and had no idea who SRV was and never really knew who the cool guitar guy was in the movie. I could deduce at the time that he was great an damn his look was friggin awesome with that sweet hat and his clothes blowing in the wind. Man he was rad. Then I saw a documentary on SRV yesterday an they showed a clip of him in the movie yet never mentioned the movie at all. Overall it was a satisfying docu about a really great artist who left us too early
