The most TALENTED Blues Guitarist to walk the Earth, SRV is a league of his own THE GOAT!!!
Agreed.
Miss him and his playing,he was the best bluesguitarist ever
100%
Hmm, well, there was also Gary Moore....
I'd have him second still to Hendrix. No one will ever meet Jimi Hendrix. SRV is a Legend though and I am a huge fan.
I don't believe nowadays, in the 21st Century, that ANYONE could play GUITAR the way STEVIE RAY VAUGHN DID AND COULD. HE HAD, FOR ONE THING, INCREDIBLY STRONG HANDS. He had the Imagination and Tenacity to Soar Above the Clouds into Deepest and Highest Outer Space. He HAD NO LIMITS. NONE. HE DIDN'T LIMIT HIMSELF. HE SOARED.
I believe that to be the greatest live performance of anything in history.
i believe you are correct
The whole El Mocambo show is one of the best live shows ever, and this song is the greatest use of the guitar I have heard in my 58 years of life.
You are very close......
'Leave my little girl alone' live, SRV would be the correct answer
@@mcgaryboy8435 Not better than this. I hit the bullseye exactly. You are the one who is very close.
@@mcgaryboy8435 its good, the solo is insane, but something about texas flood just hits like a fucking train
No disrespect to musicians today but our generation was lucky as hell. Pure talent in spades.
...um..I DO DISRESPECT today's "music"
@@johnwriter8234 Today's noise is not considered music, just noise.
..and "WHAT" .. " Musicians??"
@@johnwriter8234 agreed. Stevie practiced his ass off, played in different bands for little to no money, and grew his talent innately and through stone cold hard frigging work. Something that seems to be in short supply today.
Yes sir, we were!
You don’t just “watch” Stevie Ray.. you EXPERIENCE Stevie Ray.
Best guitarist EVER!!! RIP SRV
SRV, still blowing minds 31 years after fate snatched him away from us!
Yea, your right.
When I watch these reactions I wonder if the reactors realize that SRV died before many of them were born.
Dude you made me feel old I saw him live in 1989.
Ikr im still mourning him
Is amazing
One thing about SRV is that he could play a 20 min solo and leave you wanting more. This is Texas Blues at its best!
ALL OF THEM!!!! STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN IS, WAS & ALWAYS WILL BE THE ABSOLUTE UNDISPUTED BEST!!!!💜
I REALLY appreciate the way the guy in the middle admits that it's understandable how the older generation can say that music has degenerated from where it once was, and how everyone needs to see this particular video of Stevie. This is surely one of the greatest music performances ever captured on film! There's ALOT of Stevie's stuff on TH-cam and such---please check it out. NOBODY else played like he did! And he did it on a guitar that most other players couldn't physically handle because it had such heavy strings and high action. The way he played with utter physicality, feeling and technical virtuosity---along with that gritty, bluesy singing voice was mesmerizing. Moreover, he was a kind and humble man and a tremendous inspiration to many. Check out also some of the filmed interviews of him. My thanks to the guys who made this reaction video.
I agree with everything you've said and I also agree with everything the gentleman in the middle (Nick, I think his name is) said about music today. For that, he deserved my subscription to this channel. Stevie was a force to be reckoned with. Such a talent. They say that a star that burns twice as bright burns half as long and that was Stevie. Gone too soon.
Agree with everything you said. However, great music is still out there, you just have to search for it. It's definitely not played on the major stations for the most part. Search for it and support it locally, when possible. (covid)
Umm have you not seen. SRVs Sound check??? That's like watching a whole concert. And he had the flu and a sore throat. And had just woke up. Wow
Not just a master on guitar, but nobody, and I mean nobody had a better “stank” face than Stevie! I had tears in my eyes the day he died.
He didn't play blues. He was the damn blues!
I was (actually still am). I'm still not over it and expect never will be
I passed on an opportunity to see him live the night he died. The Alpine Valley music theater was only a 45 minute drive from where I lived. I didn't like big crowds and just thought there would be a future time in a smaller venue....
A regret....😢
I had to sit down. Shock and then tears. It was a terrible, terrible day 😢
I got to see him twice, the last time was the night before he died. He just froze you in your place, just watching in awe. Even the legendary Eric Clapton said that watching SRV made him doubt his own playing skills. The dude was...The Dude.
Crazy raw texan talent.
Yeah I saw him twice..’84 and ‘86 here in Australia..both the best nights of my life, but the gig in 86 he was supported by his brothers band The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Stevie and Jimmie simultaneously played a double neck guitar and did Dick Dales pipeline..never forget it as long as I live.
Never got to see him, I had tickets for 10th September 1990 in London……… Still have the unused ticket……. RIP SRV GOAT……
The goat.
@@SotonCueMan such a shame he had to pass. Makes me feel like the universe can't handle that much talent at one time, it had to balance out lol. Jokes aside it was a tragedy when he died, just as it was when Jimi and many others passed
I was going to see Ray Charles at a Seattle Festival and SRV was first act. We had no clue who he was. We were blown away by his talent as well as his band. Ray Charles stood in the wings dancing and loving how Stevie made his guitar sing so beautifully. He crowd went wild! We paid $7.50 to see them. We bought tickets to his upcoming tour but sadly he passed before could. RIP SWEET SRV
For all of the mountains of music I've listened to in my life of 62 years, I've NEVER witnessed anymore more AT ONE with his instrument than Stevie Ray Vaughan.
The greatest raw talent guitar player EVER!!!
All my life I've been a Hendrix nut, and one day my friend John Fox called me over to listen to this new guy Steve Ray Von on his outrageous Quad stereo. At that time there were several good guitar players trying to fill Hendrix void, but they just didn't cut it... So my friend John qued up SRV Texas flood and cranked it till the roof about came off the house... I WAS BLOWN AWAY! And afterwards for my Birthday he invited me to see SRV live at the Palladium in LA... Back then at the Palladium there was no seating, if you arrived early, you could stand next to the stage. So, I got to see this guitar god play for over an hour, and he never moved from the same spot. He smoked & sweated while he was playing this amazing music and drank what looked like straight vodka in between songs. It was an experience I will never forget the rest of my life.
When Stevie plays, even the guitar sweats
It's not sweat.
It's wet.
As a blues aficionado and someone who lives in Texas, all I can say is when a blues legend, Eric Clapton says, “ he just channeled the blues” it’s not enough. When I fist saw him it was a the Montrose Blues Festival, he was the only performer without a recording contract. They booed him when he was announced and after his first song he slayed them. Made me proud to be a Texan…
No lasers no fireworks no holloween makeup just great music, Anybody that saw Stevie live got their money's worth.
And we never forgot the first time we saw him live, we had to go again and again.
"Stevie was an endless, open channel that music just poured out of. He made people who'd never touched a guitar in their life want to pick one up and start playing, and he made those of us who'd played with him live onstage before want to quit."....................Eric Clapton.
Stevie could play bass and drums too.
If that's a true quote, it's the most beautiful compliment one legend could give to another ❤ I LOVE humility among amazing people 💕
@@MrUnderdog-vn3zf , Look it up yourself mate. It's not that hard to find. In fact, you might even be able to find a clip here on TH-cam of Clapton saying it. Assuming I didn't add an extra "the" or "and" somewhere, it's a true quote I assure you.
A couple other snippets from Eric Clapton (paraphrased): Eric said the first time he heard Stevie play he was driving down the highway and he had to pull over to the side so he could listen. He said he needed to know who it was playing immediately, that day, and that need to know had only happened to him two or three times EVER. (note: he may have said 3 - 4 times, but this is Slow Hand talking, so still) Eric also said that even the best guitarists (musicians?) get lost in the music, where they have to stop and figure out where they want to take the song next but that it never happened with Stevie (I believe this was part of the interview referenced above). Eric also referenced Stevie as the best guitarist living (at the time). Y'all please bear in mind that I'm paraphrasing and that I may have gotten something a little bit wrong as it's been a few months since I clocked the interview.
@@stephanieprice5029 You're right on the money. It was Let's Dance by David Bowie when he was driving.
I remember Eric saying Stevie never seemed lost, where to go, while playing.
The GOAT transcended all genre’s. He’s not the best blues guitarist of all time, he was THE BEST PERIOD!
I had the privilege to see Stevie and BB King at the Greek in California shortly before he passed away and it was a experience!!! He's memorizing to watch play and no other words can describe what you're witnessing what you see and hear are not of this world....glad you guy's showed this because only hearing it isn't enough!!! Love your reactions.
He was an extra terrestrial entity. Nobody plays like this. Absolute unique.
Stevie was In Full Beast Mode, that night at El Mocambo. Thank God all that Greatness Got Recorded on Film! I consider it Actual Treasure. I would not sell my El Mocambo DVD for any amount of money! Stevie Felt Every Note and He Poured Out His Soul for all to hear and see. This is the hallmark of a True Blueman.
Was there for that show..people were in awe of this man the whole show
The thing about it he never played a song the same way twice he free styles every time
John Mayer once described Stevie’s voice as “ Honey poured over gravel” that is the perfect explanation
It doesn't get better than that plain and simple.. RIP stevie
The one and only SRV! He was unbelievably talented! The concert was in June of 1990, shortly before his tragic death. It was an unforgettable, breezy, summer night in Indianapolis at what was then called Deer Creek Music Center.. Magical evening watching him play, I'll never forget it. RIP Stevie.
Stevie's on another level entirely. I saw him play in 1989 at the Starlight Bowl in San Diego...still the best live show I've ever seen.
Just in case you have not heard it said before:
THOSE WHO CAN SING - SING
THOSE WHO CAN PLAY - PLAY
THOSE WHO CAN SING & PLAY - ARE STEVIE RAY!!
Thank you for reacting to Stevie Ray Vaughan. He is one of the Most Talented Blues Guitarists ever. He was amazing to see live. Hope you don't stop here, and continue to listen to his music.
🎸💯🤯 Mercy, those Texas blues‼🔥🤟
RIP Stevie Ray Vaughan. ❤🕊🙏
I am a child of the sixties. If there was ever a better guitarist than SRV I've never seen him.
There's good, there's great and then there's Stevie. The guy was simply out of this world talented.
As incredible as his guitar playing was, Stevie's vocals were just out of this world. The blues literally just pour out of his body. And to think his high school music teacher told him he had no talent.....
I was fortunate enough to see SRV live 3 times and even hyperbole truly fails to describe his brilliance. RIP Stevie.
♥ Neil Peart also. 20+ times! :)
I’m so sorry I didn’t get to see him live.
Me too I seem him in 85 wow it was. More than awesome.y friend.
Me too. I seen him in 85
I saw him at NY State Fair in 1986- an outdoor gig and a whole huge summer storm blew through during his gig. They paused the gig for a bit and a lot of the crowd left-we stayed! Best decision I ever made. Despite the rain and wind SRV came back out in his huge Native American head dress. We got right to the edge of the stage. Sounds weird, but I touched his boot as he blew through Testify. I just wanted to check to see if this cat was REAL! The sheer volume rattled my lungs! The playing- because they wanted him off the stage- was even faster than the album and spot on! 35 years later it still gets me emotional!
He's been the GOAT my entire life. I was so sad when he went to heaven.
Same here Bother.
Stevie didn't really die. God just decided he wanted guitar lessons from the best!
Yeah, methinks Le Devil saved him a better seat.
Amen Jack, Amen.
If you were blessed, you got to see SRV live! I was blessed, and we had an exceptional moment in Pittsburgh, on the river under a bridge in Southside! As Stevie was launching into a solo a train came past the tracks behind the stage and it was if SRV had planned it himself to show up at that moment! How he made it fit right in WAS MAGIC! That what Stevie was...he was MAGIC! 🤘😎
The guy in red says, "He can't see the guitar". He couldn't see it before. . .lol. . He had his eyes closed, "feeling it".
That's Stevie. Been listening to him since the 80's. Nobody like him. . Ever. The best!
Yes rip Stevie
Greatest musical generation the world has ever seen!🌏! Shook a planet!🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸
It really is like staring into the face of God. Stevie was, and always will be, a music god. Music and man become one. An awakening experience indeed. Spiritual. Thanks guys.
Have you ever seen that video where Stevie breaks a string mid-song? His guitar tech brings him a new one and they swap it out without missing a beat and carry on with the song the whole time. Amazing!
I’ve seen a lot of reactions to SRV on TH-cam and nobody has had the interpretation I’ve had of this song. I view the “flood” being his emotions of losing a lover and all the “telephone lines” being down is him dealing with the isolation of being alone. This song is so beautiful on a lyrical scale as well as SRV’s mastery of guitar.
I totally agree with your interpretation sir in fact I believe this is exactly what he was trying to convey in this rendition of this song 🎸🐐🎶🎤🙏R.I.P. S.R.V.🙏
YES - THIS is 🎶 music. My Father cried the day SRV died. It came on the radio as I was walking into the living room. I was 19 and it was the first time I ever saw my larger than life Dad cry (which scared the piss out of me then - haha) but the announcement came on, he just stood there for a second, took two steps back to the couch and just sat down and cried 😢 my parents saw SRV live twice and I was lucky enough that they took me once. There are simply no words for seeing him live. Pure genius, total 🔥 It may sound mean but I'd trade numerous, numerous "musical artists" today for to have Stevie back 🙏❤️
This is that one song that every time he play it it’s like he’s getting something off his chest. I love the studio version but every live version is unique and amazing
Stevie was the most kind, gentle,humbled man you would have the pleasure to know. I miss him still, every day.
A grace injustice if Not Live!
Stevie was the GOAT. Period. Know this too, he couldn't read sheet music, he just played from his heart and soul. So you think that was sweat oozing from his pores? Nope, it wasn't. It was soul. Pure soul. I cried like a baby when Stevie was killed, less than 30 miles from where I lived. ALL music, not just blues music is better because of you. RIP brother Stevie. Your greatness lives on forever.
Stevie and I grew up in the same neighborhood...went to the same high school...stomped some of the same ground. We never crossed paths, as far as I know, but there was always a detectable hint of him around. I was just a teenager during his greatest years, but I am proud to have shared the same air with him. I only recently began playing guitar. I one day decided I should have a guitar hero - someone to aspire to. I knew there could be only one. Stevie Ray Vaughan.
He was just livin’ life by the drop.
You know he's the GOAT when he plays better behind his back than most players play not behind their back
SRV used to play at a bar down the street from my home in Austin, Texas. One day, my girlfriend and I were riding a bike by the bar and stopped into for a cold Shiner beer. SRV was on stage with a host of bluesmen, including Buddy Guy. The barmaid said the bar was closed, but we begged for just one cold beer - it was hot as hell that day. She looked at Buddy, who nodded his head "yes." And we were treated to an hour of music by some of the greatest blues musicians of their day. Wow! We were so close to the stage, I could hear SRV's pick clicking on the strings. Magical. When Stevie played, you could imagine what it must have been like to see Jimi Hendrix back in the day. A force of nature, he was.
Texas Flood was written in 1958. Stevie Ray Vaughan takes every song and makes it his own.
IMO the best blues guitar performance ever recorded. I saw him live twice and he was every bit as good. One of the true GOATS.
"Why Is He Doing That"....BECAUSE HE CAN!! & EFFORTLESSLY TOO I MIGHT ADD!!..Lol.
"Life Without You" live from the Capitol theater is even more mind blowing. It offers everything you'll possibly see in a SRV performance (Playing behind his back, breaking strings, changing guitar midstream and adjusting equipment as he plays).
Losing a tooth.
Oh, I love Montreux 1985. That’s one good concept-and Stevie Ray is happy, too. (after they booed him there, in 1983!)
@@ebnykween 🤣…that was the first time and the last time he ever played with his teeth.
In my opinion the greatest guitar player ever. And yes, if he didn’t leave us so early, he would have only gotten better if that’s even possible. Playing behind me back, come on. Most guitar players can’t play this good with the guitar in front of them!
I was at Stevie Ray Vaughn's last concert at Alpine Valley the night his helicopter crashed. The lineup was Eric Clapton, SRV, Robert Cray and Buddy Guy. I remember leaving the concert and saying to myself that I would never miss SRV if he was ever in my area again. Sadly I will never have that opportunity.
Hey guys, the weird thing when it comes to music that is largely improvised, is on any given night, any tune could be the best! 😮
As a native TEXAN we r "very" proud of SRV !!! May he RIP !!! Miss him ALOT too !! 🥰
He started playing guitar at 7 years old. Ive seen him live many times and it's even better. RIP SRV.
The good always die young. Rest in paradise SRV. YOU ARE THE GREATEST!
One of the biggest rock and blues musicians of all time. Musical genius all the way.
Saw him live in 1990 just before he passed, I'll never forget it!
Gone but never ever forgotten. RIP Stevie.
Stevie Ray's playing is just nasty sweet. Playing behind your back and not missing a beat is a WTF moment. I love the look on your faces. You can't believe what you are seeing but you know it's once-in-a-liftetime greatness. Notice you guys weren't saying anything during that period, just like the audience. That's why they were quiet; don't ruin a wow moment.
Actually, the crowd was probably quiet for several reasons - they were likely told the concert/song was being recorded, they were in awe and they/we are Canadian, very respectful.
Stevie+guitar=Genius...!
I love it when people realize what is possible. Or possible for the select few. Stevie was the GOAT. R.I.P. brother.
ALL OF THEM!!!! INCLUDING EVERYTHING THAT WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE SOMEONE RECORD 'UNOFFICIALLY'!!!!
God blessed us, with Stevie Ray, I watch ever so closely, his wonderful feel, he portrays, its, as if, he is literally, giving us a message, sharing, caring, giving, with every ,single, fiber in his body..I love his , wonderful, talent, most of all, I love the man himself, ever so quietly spoken, humble, kind, making us all happy , with hearts full of love🙏❤️..I firmly believe, he came to this earth on a special mission.. y'all, know what I mean..Our good lord, has taken him back, to his, heavenly home, to carry on the good work, elsewhere..Thankyou S.R.V. for inspiring me to do good..🙏❤️🎸
No words.. just pure raw talent!!
SRV ~ 🎸🐐
That ain't sweat, he's just oozing soul. 😅
I had waited about 6 years to see Stevie in concert. That day *finally* came. In the 10,000 seat arena, I was right in front of him. It was one of the happiest days of my life. His sweat was dripping on me the whole time. I didn't want the show to end. He was dead 2 weeks later. I still haven't gotten over it and never will. There are many amazing guitarists, equally as talented and skilled, but Stevie had something more...divine going on with him. He can do more than Texas blues, too. Check out Riviera Paradise for a more jazzy number. I am certain he could have done heavy metal had he wanted to. He's one of very few people who has ever been able to truly master their instrument. Think about the fact that he was getting hit songs on the radio doing *Texas blues* smack dab in the middle of the 80's techno pop, Madonna and Culture Club era! Thank you for the reaction and your reverence for this man's contribution to music. Keep the torch alive, brother. 🔥🎸😎
Like I say & fondly, STV IS THE ONLY MAN ON EARTH THAT EVERY OTHER MAN FALLS MADLY IN LOVE WITH. When he plays I cry w such joy! Thank God for his short visit w us. God Bless ur Ass, Stevie! It was the saddest day the world cried. Same w Princess Di & Kobe. He died the same day his dad did 4 yrs earlier.
We saw them in concert many times back in the day ❤always gave his heart and soul
I had the privilege of seeing SRV three times in the NYC area in the 80's. I am a blues aficionado, so when he just blew up, I HAD to see him every time I could. My friends and I almost got thrown out of the famed Radio City Music Hall for trying to dance in the aisles!!! He is the GOAT!
This is one of the few times I love it when the video is stopped and discussed.
Damn, we loved gettin' high af, drinking whiskey and listening to the new SRV albums!!!!!
That dude was special
Best ever, saw him in Tampa I'm 88, stole the show!!
Dude could manhandle those Mooring cable sized guitar strings! The greatest to ever do it!
You're right man, spot on. SRV and Elvis never died, they just went back home to the planet they come from after their mission was finished here...
its not a "planet" its heaven' gate sheople ...
As a native Texan, and one named Steve, this song will be played at my funeral...for there will be flooding down in Texas...
Until Someone can show me different... This is the greatest guitar performance I have ever seen in all my years. I never get tired of it.
He's a once in 500 year freak of artistic talent.
He never played a song the same way twice! Played backwards and sang at the same time! Growing up he practiced so many hours a day that he would have the calluses on his fingers split off/ cut and fall off and he would crazy glue them back on so he could keep on playing!
Funny you should say that. Big brother Jimmie wrote the liner notes for the DVD release of this show, and on it he says "Stevie never played a song the same way once, much less twice!"
Stevie Ray was incredibly talented. His guitar was so, so, SO ridiculous. We lost a priceless gem when he died............
Stevie ray Vaughn was unreal 🔥
I am from the 60's and 70's, and we did have the best music. Period.
Interesting that 99.9% of his music was in the 80's and 90's but we can let that slide for lack of knowing
@@HoonaticsMCNiko23Crowe my 70's comment was not about SRV, it was music in general.
Words just can't do this performance justice...😳
The Sky is Crying, Tin Pan Alley are my 2 favorite songs by him. BEST 🎸 PLAYER EVER! I was 29 when Stevie died. 😢
I had the privilege seeing him at cardies bar Houston Texas 1981 will never forget
The Master at work; R.I.P. Stevie
Stevie's guitar needed a cigarette when he was finished with it. 🚬
Fact - a friend of mine was at that show in '83. And no, I still haven't forgiven him. 😏
And now you know why he is the GOAT!
My mom loved bb king & stevie ray vaughan. we played her favorite song riviera paradise at her furneal a week ago,
This is what I miss. Yes, OUR music was the best. And for one reason. They had real talent. I miss those days, but at the same time, I can watch then here on YT. Enjoyed watching the 3 of you. RIP Stevie. You left us too soon.
so you're a few minutes into some of the best guitar ever and you realize...Holy Cr*p! He hasn't done the solo yet!
Love your comments at the end. very on point, as a proud Texan I appreciate your love for our treasure
I've said it before and I will say it again, Stevie doesn't just play the guitar...he becomes the guitar.
Everything he touched was a masterpiece he was truly the goat love SRV
