This is my cousin, Lonnie Mack aka Lonnie Mctintosh. Cousin, I love you! This song I've seen you do it many times live, but not like this with the MASTER. Stevie Ray, we miss you son!
How sweet! Lonnie Mack was an idol of Stevie’s. I’m so happy for you that you had memories with Mr. Mack. I’m an SRV fan (more than that - his music helped me and my kids through a difficult bunch of of years) I only today learned about the enormous influence Mr. Mack had on Stevie. I should have known. This video is beyond sweet. I am a full on SRV loyalist and I am trying to discover who influenced him (beyond Wikipedia and such nonsense) I know Lonnie Mack, but I never read about the connection. SRV idolized Ronnie Mack. I miss Stevie Ray Vaughan. As my kids called him, “Stevie Rayon.” We also listened and sand to Ella Fitzgerald. They called her “Elephant Gerald.” Stevie Rayon and Elephant Gerald got my girls and I through very rough times. Thank you, Mr. Mack, for being such a huge influence on the magic that was and is Stevie Ray Vaughan. Forever indebted to you for inspiring this amazing human being. Thank you.
Sherry Baker, I guess that would mean you are also familiar with Lonnie's brother Billy Mack? I got to know Billy and play guitars with him in the last years of his life before he sadly passed on. Billy told me some great stories about Lonnie and also a little about Stevie. i remember him telling me that he wrote (or co-wrote) this particular song Oreo Cookie Blues. I am a bit of a music history student, self taught, and Billy seems to have managed to be nearly impossible to dig up any information on Billy Mack during my internet searching. according to his stories, all these other very famous guitarists like Eric Clapton and Jimmy Paige and Jeff Beck all were influenced by Lonnie Mack and i want to connect these dots. did no one ever record a video with the Lonnie and Billy playing together? i feel like it is a mystery i am trying to unravel the threads so i can connect the dots. i don't really care about the fame part, i want to see them playing the guitars and watch the fingers!!
Hello Sherry, I notice that you made your comment 7 years ago, before your cousin died. I want to send my condolences to you about your cousin passing away a couple of years later.
Not sure if anyone will see this anymore, but to provide some history on this song....my old friend Mike Wilkerson wrote it. He played it for us at backyard BBQs and it was the crown jewel of his music career (where he would get occasional gigs and commercial voice overs). Mike sold the song rights to Lonnie Mack probably in the early 1980s. Mike died in 2019 of Parkinson's. God watch over his soul.
Oreo cookies are religion to Lonnie's taste buds. Lonnie is the kind to offer you a few as well. He is the absolute host and treats his opening acts with total respect and happy to jam with anyone he shares the evening with. His wife carole will be in the audience and invite guests back stage and everybody gets a shout out for making him the man he is. very humble...
Just think about it ! A blues song about Oreo Cookie Addiction ! Can't get crazier, can it ?? But with Lonnie and Stevie playing, it works. It just works !! Thank you, both.
You can just feel thru the music how much srv just adored Mack and that big ol smile while playing such a fun and light natured song before a live audience.
Adrian Avila ...i have done more things to see stevie live and alive than you can ever imagine...i dont have posters...i have him and his music in my soul....but....its ok you are a good fan too...i believe you pal!!
θοδωρης μετζελος Awesome, wish I was around in his time to have seen him live and definitely wish he was still here. Cause then I'd be going to his shows when he he'd play here. I've got 4 posters , My dad saw him here in Utah at the old fair grounds Oct 9, 1985.
Just when I think I've seen every bit of video of SRV that exists! And certainly heard every one of his rare acoustic performances. Well, maybe now I have. [4 minutes later] OMG! He's playing acoustic with a slide! This has to be the only example of that!
really nice to see stevie ray play an acoustic guitar, he was a true gentleman & you know he is elated to play with one of his idols. his smile exudes the "I'm not worthy".his sense of what came before him is what made his success become possible. as the old bluegrass song goes, "don't get above your raisin' & he never did" I especially liked his duet with dick dale on pipeline in the back to the beach movie. Lonnie played my favorite bass lines ever on the doors classic "Roadhouse Blues" rip to 2 music legends 🎸🎸
Thank You For This One! Beautiful Blues In An Historic Place. Played By Two Blues Legends!! Both Of Whom, I Have Had, The Pleasure Of Seeing Play Their Blues!! Rest In Peace Stevie May God Bless You And May God Bless Mr. Lonnie Mack!!
How did this silly song become punch me in the gut blues? Flat out inspired guitar picking; these two powerfully fuel each other’s masterful performance - Just wow! #GetmesomeOreos
It's funny how in Texas,a country music state back when, the blues stars like Lonnie werent as well known north. Im a blues fan especially the now departed legends and guitarists, yet this is the first time Ive seen Lonnie. Ive seen some well known, Buddy Guy still being a live favourite of mine, and I still go to blues clubs, but nobody sings Lonnie's songs or mentions him.
Damn them Oreo cookies!!!.. More addictive than cocaine!!..only a few days in the new year to lose a few pds. And ALREADY got them, " Oreo cookie blues!😩
wow thats crazy! as im sure you know stevie grew up listening to lonnie and the things he took from lonnie were a huge part of that thing that made stevie, stevie. when he played the slow stuff it was all albert, freddie and buddy were there in the mid tempos and shuffles, but when he played the stuff as his brother would say "like he was breaking out of jail" it was all lonnie mack! and "falling back in love with you" and "stop" are clear demonstrations of the hugeness of his talent
Oregon cookies aught to be proud of this song going out air wave around the world thanks to Lonnie Mack and Stevie Ray Vaughan..a hit this is as we speak ..Lonnie Mack a cool guitarist and singer along with Stevie..and oreo cookie saids thank u too
Truly rare. This is the first time I think I've seen Stevie play slide at all. He's really working it, too, sounds really oldschool and passionate. RIP for these two great musicians. Gone too soon.
One of my biggest regrets in my life is never getting the chance to see SRV live. I have seen Lonnie Mack once many years ago playing in a bar called The Electric Lady in Madison, IN just down river from where Lonnie is from. It was a great night.
I got to see Lonnie and Stevie practicing this one and others on acoustics on my pool deck in spicewood Texas. They were both thrilled to play with each other. But not as much as I was to be there.
I don’t recall the year, ‘84-‘86 timeline, scored free tickets from Q102 in Dallas to see SRV live. Lonnie Mack was the warm up act. First stop on the way home was the record store to get LM’s “Strike Like Lighting” album. Still have it and still play it occasionally.
Man, what an awesome, relatable song by two great players. Now I need to write one called Crawfish Jambalaya Blues with more of a Bryan Lee Louisiana Swamp Blues vibe.
"Why don't we do this? Why don't we play the song and then we'll turn the guitars off and then ya can do something non related" Lonnie Mack RIP SRV and LM
I used to cover this song as a duo with a partner that was a former guitarist for Bob Seegar. This was the early 90's . just found out this year it was a Lonnie Mack song. It was always well received. I played the slide part.

I've smiled every single time I've seen or heard this, my respect to him and his. Blessed

do you have a recording of it ?
Thanks for the story. It is so important to have the stories and history preserved.
Amen brother
Really love this song; the silliness of it combined with some serious blues.
Oh wow your right I just looked it up it says both wrote it.
I just love the way Stevie is smiling through this and digging Lonnie's vibe. You can se these two legends are so in sync
Stevie Ray and Lonnie Mack are still getting likes and comments... greatness never dies. 🎼🖤
Honestly probably the most relatable blues song I’ve ever heard
Hell yeah!
stevie smiling from ear to ear playing with one of his idols physically lifts my heart up
Bro maybe You are having a heart attack
@@federicoperez4373 😂😂🤣🤣
the same way he was in 1983 on in session playing with Albert King. there was that giddiness
❤❤❤
Soooo goood
This is the first time that I have seen LONNIE MACK and STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN playing acoustic guitars !!
By the way , this is a cool song !
Lonnie Mack and Stevie Ray Vaughan play this on acoustics in LM's album: "Strike Like Lightning "(1985), co-produced by SRV.
I love how Stevie always adapts his playing the guys playing with him and how he backtracks smoothly so he makes the others shine.
the other in this case shines by himself
Hell, nobody’s “makes” Lonnie Mack shine.
He was the lighttower
@@kasperkjrsgaard1447 But he couldn’t play like Stevie
@@tarmac1697 he inspired Stevie if it wasn’t for loonie there would be no SRV
@@_KerinR_ If there was no Jimmy Vaughan there’d be no Stevie.
I love how Stevie was smiling and chuckling the whole time ❤
It’s literally about cookies. Wouldn’t you?😅
I sure wish Stevie would have played acoustic guitar more.
Me too.
Perhaps he would have ;(
I think he wld have!! Too soon gone. 🌹🌟🎵

These two guys could have done a song about infectious lesions and still made it ultra cool. Great collaboration. RIP SRV. The GOAT
Love seeing Stevie happy like this with the ppl that inspired him
Lonnie Mack and Stevie.....combined with cookies....that's my idea of heaven!!!
Just think about it ! A blues song about Oreo Cookie Addiction ! Can't get crazier, can it ?? But with Lonnie and Stevie playing, it works. It just works !! Thank you, both.
really you think they sing about cookies ?
@@Old-Skull. yes
A dream performance for any guitar and blues loving fan !
Oh man this is too cool.. look at Stevie! He's cracking up like a little kid!
RIP Lonnie..You were a true pioneer..2 greats gone but not forgotten..
You can just feel thru the music how much srv just adored Mack and that big ol smile while playing such a fun and light natured song before a live audience.
Man the things you can sing about in blues will never not amaze me lmao
wow, this is the first time I saw stevie playing slide! I am the biggest SRV fan in the world!! wooo

Fun song, love seeing Stevie smiling.
Wow, love Stevie's smile :) Welcome Lonnie home, Stevie.. welcome him home.
What a great find! I was looking for something else, and came across this precious gem!!
Two dudes plying the blues! As simple as it gets, and as awesome as can be!
SRV & Lonnie Mack
"Oreo cookie blues
Orpheum Theater Beale Street Memphis, Tennessee August 1986
How did this silly song become punch me in the gut blues? Flat out inspired guitar picking; these two powerfully fuel each other’s masterful performance - Just wow! #GetmesomeOreos
Songs about addiction often are impactful, and this is no exception!
RIP Lonnie Mack
+ Rob Grubbs Amen. Though Stevie went on to international fame, it's hardcore blues pioneers like Lonnie Mack who set the stage for such talents.
Stevie trying not to laugh the whole song. Fuckin love this! ahah
CooManTunes Yes, He was a lovely guy, I'll love him forever¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
SOUL💞SOUL, STEVIE!!❤😘
Always loved this song! What a treat to watch them playing it!
RIP...SRV!
Being young again because I have them and I’m oR-ieo blues😂❤ thank you for this
Lonnie Mack_ Another great artist SRV introduced me too. Respect brothers :)
In VERY loving memory of Mr. Lonnie McIntosh (1941 - 2016 R.I.P. Gone but NOT forgotten).
This is how it's done people.
Two late greats singing about something we all know & love! What could be better?
i think you got it wrong , they weren't singing about cookies
Not sure what you mean. “Built by Nabisco” is pretty specific.
Fantastic! R.I.P. Lonnie and Stevie
Greatest
Song
Ever
WOW I am amazed at what these two are doing....truly 'music to my ears' Could listen to this 24/7
Highly recommend watching the whole show... Great performance by SRV
This is an oldie but a goodie.... makes my heart melt!
Dem boys sure could play a mean guitar. RIP SRV
Perfect everything he does turns to gold he was the best ever this is what it's all about true talent perfect
SRV is the coolest dude ever, still is even after he has been gone all these years!!
He’s not gone... just listen.
I fell right in love with this song when I bought my first Lonnie Mack album- Strike Like Lightning!!
Been playing this one for years, but never saw it live!!!
stevie ray is one of the best ever !!
Footage of SRV on acoustic playing slide. This is rarer than a leftover cookie in Lonnies biscuit jar
Wow. Very very rare performance of Stevie on acoustic.
Heard for first time this week and sung it for first time KARAOKE...Loved it...
Louisville, KY U.S.A.
Stevie father died the day next to this show!!
and then stevie exactly 4 years later
@FalconerPhoto Sorry if you dont, but its a information about his biography and his life..
what a good ole time these boys are having.. after a stuttering start... back-porch blues at it's best.. cheers
They are playing together again...RIP
+missjoshemmett Amen to that!
Pretty hard to play the guitar when you're pushing up daisies
This two meld their guitars perfectly. Really really good!
Great "jam"😋 to, btw... SRV & Lonnie Mack! Awesomeness
RIP Lonnie .......thanks ....

Every cookie commercial should be Lonnie Mack and Stevie Ray Vaughn..........I'd buy em'!
It just doesn't get any better than this!

Awesome. Should of ate some Oreo cookies while I am watching this video along with some milk. Peace, Flood!
SRV ADORED Lonnie. Nuff said!
This is always super and good wonderfull to hear again.
I believe this is the deeper and heavier reason for loving those Oreo Cookies!!!
Absolute, great, "foot stompin perfection"!!!
What fun this is! Loved it!!
Awesome ! ! !
WOW rare footage/performance of SRV playing slide guitar! RIP Lonnie!
Truly rare. This is the first time I think I've seen Stevie play slide at all. He's
really working it, too, sounds really oldschool and passionate. RIP for these
two great musicians. Gone too soon.
larry geetar .. Stevie could perform magic with those large strong hands🎸💖😊
Had the pleasure of seeing both of them as well as stevies brother at the cotillion ball room in wichita, ks. The best concert I had ever been to!
no matter what color this is real blues. thanks

Read an interview with Stevie Ray once where he said the first record he bought was a Lonnie Mack album. He said he wore out 2 copies.
Man, what an awesome, relatable song by two great players. Now I need to write one called Crawfish Jambalaya Blues with more of a Bryan Lee Louisiana Swamp Blues vibe.
"Why don't we do this? Why don't we play the song and then we'll turn the guitars off and then ya can do something non related"
Lonnie Mack RIP SRV and LM
Loved this! They had great fun and it's hilarious!
That's the neat thing about blues. You can sing it about ANYTHING !
Love that rhythm
I used to cover this song as a duo with a partner that was a former guitarist for Bob Seegar. This was the early 90's . just found out this year it was a Lonnie Mack song. It was always well received. I played the slide part.
I just recently quit eating sugary crap. Feel great! Still got the blues....
very good one really super.thank,s a lot.
I saw Mac and Vaughan perform this at UW's auditorium in Laramie Wyoming in 86. It must have been the same tour.
