Try to set address here:
   listen XX.XX.XX.XX:80;

I think that nginx's host nameserver have cached an old vivid-tube.com
address and so nginx does not match a new address. Other way is wildcard

   listen *:80;

or

   listen 80;

BTW, it's better to move this "if" in separate server:

server {
    server_name vivid-tube.com  *.vivid-tube.com;
    ...
}

server {
    server_name   www.vivid-tube.com;
    rewrite ^   http://vivid-tube.com$request_uri? permanent;
}
