You all don’t know how many times I’ve commented to every reaction channel to react to THIS VIDEO and it always falls on deaf ears. I can’t tell you how grateful I am for you guys to do this one. I have often called it a “ grown up song” by SRV. It’s such a shock to see and hear him play such a song totally different from his repertoire. Thank you guys. You gave this old guy a lump in his throat and goosebumps.
Thank you for watching!!
I totally agree. I have been waiting a long time for someone to react to this song. This is what I listen to when I really want to chill out. Thank you.
Amen to that
@@AirplayBeats imho, this is one of the few where you definitely need to hear the studio version. Add the story behind that part of the session, and a piece of magic was captured that day.
@@aj71169 I downloaded the studio version IMMEDIATELY after recording this video. Been playing it ever since
The studio version of this song was recorded in the middle of the night with almost all the lights out in the studio.
they asked the engineer if he had enough tape and he said yes. They started recording and SRV had his back to the engineer and after playing for quite a while, the tape was running low. The engineer was trying to get anybody's attention but no luck. They were into the song. Finally, the engineer got Chris Laton's attention and was giving him the "cut" sign. Chris got SRV's attention and gave him the "cut" sign. They wrapped the song up and as soon as the last note faded out, the tape ran out. They did the studio version in one take.
Never heard that story. Awesome.
Yeah I read a similar version in a book I used to have about Stevie. They had been working so hard on the album . Everyone was so tired that night & in comes Stevie just feeling it. That recording was meant to be.
And rest of the story..... is the band came in the next day,and listened to it and layered their parts on it.
You want to hear the studio version? You basically just heard it this performance is perfect
Studio version has better mix for quiet listening, imo. Live is more raw, but still amazing.
What a great loss the day God took steve.
R.I.P SRV
Also,George Benson ROCKS👍
I've listened to every version of this and this version, live in Texas is the best by far. He was just, in the groove. He is missed so much.
A great loss for music & mankind when SRV left us.
The most beautiful song SVR has ever done. Immaculate in every way!
The same guitar that can melt your face can melt your soul.
The sweetest notes to be ever picked on a guitar. Legend!!!!
Lenny too.
This is the last track from the last studio album that was released while he was still alive. Really makes it poignant when you look at it that way.
From the “In Step” album.
Our wedding song 30+ years ago. RIP SRV, hope to hear your Soul again in the next life.
I guess you never listened to Vaughan Brothers..
@@thereverendepi_gee565 I guess you go around making incorrect assumptions all day.
This is in my personal top three from Stevie. Along with "Lenny" and Hendrix's "Little Wing" LIVE, always live.
Great picks!
That would be my list as well, with the addition of Couldn't Stand the Weather in the 4 spot. :-)
I love the fact that Stevie wrote this song himself. He wrote others as well and it's always a pleasure to see people react to these songs on TH-cam.
If you've had a tough day... and we all have em. Riviera Paradise takes you to that place to just reset and get goin again 🎸🙏🏼
Thank you Stevie ❤
It was definitely “in him.” I was lucky enough to see him perform many times around Austin and beyond. Of course he possessed technical prowess through years of obsession and hard work, but when you watched him play, it was apparent that there was an extraordinary amount of innate talent. Even when playing extended solos and improvising, he was never lost or searching where to go next. He was like a conduit connected to something higher and the music flowed through him almost effortlessly. He could crush you with a blistering blues driven hard rock solo, and this song shows he could silence a crowd with beautiful melodies as well. One of a kind.
Eric Clapton said that same thing....EC said I have to think where I am going next.... Stevie just goes there
I, too, was fortunate enough to see him from a few rows back a handful of times in NY. I echo your sentiments 100%
I was lucky enough to follow him from LIU POST Tilles Center all the way up to Radio City Music Hall. My favorite shows were at the pier in NYC. The audience at every show felt like being with long time friends you never knew. Blessed to have been able to be there.
SRV - what a gift and what a loss.
He actually played as light as 12s and as heavy as 17s at one point, but for most of his career, Stevie Ray Vaughan's main guitars, his Number One and Lenny that are super legendary, were strung up with 13s-which is probably what you've heard of when you heard about Stevie Ray Vaughan's guitar string gauges in the past ...
I have a soft spot for this song. Me and my then girlfriend was watching this on video, and at the end of this song during the fade out, I proposed to her. And 20 years later, we are still married and she's my best friend. A true southern belle blonde from North Carolina.
This whole concert was incredible. I cried for weeks when Stevie Ray Vaughan when his chopper crashed, and killed him.
Cheers guys,
Deaf Gryphon ^V^
This entire 89 Austin City Limits concert was D O P E!!! Voodoo Child at this concert was mind blowing!
The most beautiful song SVR has ever done
Late in his career he matured and learned a valuable lesson from B.B. King, who said that sometimes what you don't play is as important as what you do. He meant that the pauses and silences between notes can be very meaningful. You can see Stevie learn that and incorporate it into his later performances. He constantly improved throughout his live. What could have been?
SRV and DT won a Grammy for best contemporary blues Instrumental with this song, It still gives me the chills when Stevie plucks the strings above the nut on the headstock, I played this at my Daughters memorial service and it gave me a peaceful feeling I can't describe. Stevie was on a whole different level
I 100 percent agree, Rivera Paradise helps heal the souls feeling the worst pain, by giving them a compassionate and empathetic musical hug.
Hope you’re doing well after going through something like that. I’m glad you had Stevie to help you through that and i’m glad that we all do.
Man I love Stevie Ray Vaughan. He captivates me with his talent and presence. RIP Stevie.....
This song is from his last studio album In Step. I think it's the most beautiful song he's ever done. A masterpiece, you should definitely check it out!
This was played on NBC as a tribute to Johnny Carson's son who died tragically in a car crash in 1991. Very emotional tune.
Couldn't click fast enough when this came up👋👏✌️‼️. This is an original composition by Stevie from his "In Step" album which was his first album after rehab and getting clean and sober. The whole In Step album has several songs conveying the struggles of addiction and the blessings of sobriety. Crossfire, Tightrope, etc. even the title In Step refers to working the AA 12 step program. Touring after rehab Stevie always had someone find where meetings were in the place they would travel to. He was very proud of his hard won sobriety and spent the last 4 years of his life helping and encouraging others to find the peace and happiness he had found. This song is a soothing balm to a weary spirit and imparts understanding of the struggle along with the promise of the rewards of coming out free. That's why in the beginning he dedicated it to "all who are still suffering in any way".
And yes Reece🎹🎹‼️🎶Reece is Stevie on the piano💯. Reece joined DT in August of 1985. This was a true Band of Brothers who loved and respected each other very much. Stevie insisted all performance fees be spilt equally between them which was never done.
You guys will really love "Lenny" a love song to his ex wife that is truly beautiful. Most people will suggest this one from the El Macombo and it is truly great but hardly anyone reacts to Lenny from his Toyko concert. The camera work and audio/video is excellent and it is my favorite version. I hope you will check it out. Thanks so much for this today guys! It made my day✌️
The song Wall of Denial also deals with addiction & sobriety
@@jenniferyorgan4215 yes indeed it does👋💙
SRV - Life Without You, @ The Capital Theatre (85) is probably his best live performance, even more than Texas Flood. He wrote the song for his friend and guitar technician Charlie who built his white guitar and died unexpectedly.
Every member of this band is the best!
The studio version of this song..is the last track on SRV' s final studio album. The album IN STEP..SRV 'S come back after nearly dying from mixing cocaine in Crown Royal. IN STEP is a nod to achoholics anynomous..and the 12 Step program..legend has it the recording was almost lost as tape( no digital back then) was winding down, and engineer couldn't get Stevie's attention. He closed song out with 10 seconds of tape remaining.✌️👍🔥
I enjoyed SRV before I heard this song. However, I was driving back home in my truck one rainy night listening to KFOG 104.5FM when I first heard this song (I enjoyed some of his other songs like "Crossfire," so I don't know why I hadn't heard this one), and it just transported me. This song is what made me a FAN that went and consumed anything he had recorded.
Such a great piano solo. Just when you think it's over, it's goes into another, even cooler part
This was his best concerts, in my opinion..All the songs you watch from this show will blow your minds on what he could do towards the end of his time on earth..
For being a instrumental, this song speaks to me more than any other. Damn I miss Stevie Ray. BTW He used the heaviest strings.
Tin Pan Alley is another great one. There's a live version with Johnny Copeland if you wanted to keep that live vibe. Also a studio version.
There is SO much emotion happening in this song! It's simultaneously sultry, smoky, sensual, and sexy, while being bare, soulful, raw, pleading, and desperate. It brings me to tears every time I hear it, for different reasons every time. Probably his best work ever.
Smooth as silk
When an artist can transport The Listener to another place thu there soul&passion they have did their job effortlessly and Stevie had bucket loads of that ability.
This man was smooth as butter, even on a bad day he was perfect....RIP to a legend
Finally someone reacted to Riviera Paradise. Stevie at his best. Now you must hear Lenny, or Couldn't Stand the Weather or Scuttle Buttin
By far my fav from him Its soft butter on a summers day Smooth as it gets
I am mesmerized every time I watch and listen to SRV.
Love this slow soulful groove - and Stevie's mastery still shows through. RIP Brother 💔 Everybody shines in this one. Reese does play with Joe 👍
This is on the album In Step, the last album he did with his band Double Trouble. Best live version of this great instrumental ever. Reese Wynans on keyboards 🔥
Tommy Shannon on bass, Chris Layton on drums.
Another great review guys. He literally made that guitar cry. Thank you.
Right on. Now try “Lenny” and “Life By The Drop.” Imho Riviera Paradise was the culmination of his life’s work, and his most creative self written composition. 🤘😎
You 2 ROCK. SRV IS THE GOAT....
That man could make that guitar do anything , what a great talent lost way too soon !!
Yep, SRV could go Blazing Texas Blues and be the most sensitive guitarists, playing with low volume, space and great dynamics, all within the same song.
Just hearing this song makes you think of all the great music we were deprived of when Stevie died. He was branching out and as great as his blues playing is, it would have been great to see more of this jazzy style and other styles he would have brought to us in the future.
Those who stay focused on mourning the shortness of his life here may miss the point of the gift he was given and which he shared. The connection to the higher Power SRV found.
When Heaven opens to us, we will be able to meet those who have gone on before. We will see Stevie Ray and hear him again... with our new eyes and new ears... in eternity. His songs won't end, and there will be new songs. His gift will be understood by us even more in the presence of the Giver, who reached Stevie and connected our hearts through music and the love shown for one another.
While here we can experience the wonder, grace, and blessing we've been given, but so much more is promised. Be ready, be patient, and look forward to that day. As Stevie would say, "Are you with me?" "...ALL RIGHT!"
@@Sometimes-even-lyrical Amen!
The connection between Stevie Ray and George Benson you’re looking for is Wes Montgomery. Wes pioneered the octave runs with the thumb that Stevie used in this song, and that George perfected. Wes was an amazing guitar player, well worth checking out
This song always, always brings me to tears. It's the melody, Stevie's playing... so heart felt. RIP Stevie.
SRV & DOUBLE TROUBLE...
UNIFORMLY ELITE In Any Regards, And From All Aspects; Inarguably, Unequivocally On ANOTHER LEVEL!
This is my favorite SRV and SRV said it was his. Whenever I am stressed out, I listen to this music and it makes everything better.
The greatest guitarist ever in my opinion ❤️🙏
This incredible song always makes me sad... To think that he still had an immense bag of new tricks, insane feeling, insane creativity yet to show. He was yet to reach his peak and he tragically died. It makes me feel like humanity was robbed. He would have revolutionized jazz as well, just like he did with blues. And who knows what else...
So beautiful ✌️ this is from the album " in step" I still have this album on cassette 🤯
He truly was one of a kind. What an awesome reaction to an amazing song. Have yall checked out "Life Without you" live from Capitol Theatre or "Hideaway/Rude Mood" live from Montreux 1982 yet? Those are 2 great performances as well.
I've watched all your reactions about Stevie Ray and I have to say you two have class, just because you were growing up in the 80"s you two give this man all the respect, say incredible things about his ability to play and all the other comments you guys give and being the hip-hop
gen you know excellent sound when you hear it and I am so glad that your ages and the ability to know what you have heard and felt is awesome. So glad I decided to hear your reactions about Stevie Ray, he would be very greatful to know how you two rated him. The lord took Stevie to early, he would of been 68 years old can you imagine what you would of done these past 32 years that he has been gone.? May he rest in enternal sleep and in peace.......R.I.P. Stevie Ray Vaughan.....
Love song great reaction and your right this song is also giving George Benson vibes good callalso that playing by the very top never seen it b4
Benson is the truth. He’s on a different level. I saw him in ‘86 live. So extremely good it is the best show I have ever seen. No one will ever hold a candle to this man.
He was truly magical in every way
I have told my wife that this will be played at my wake. Greatness.
My favorite SRV song. Thanks for reacting to this one gentlemen. May I suggest Samantha Fish " Highway's holding me now" live at the Telluride Blues and Blues festival. Great reaction to a great song.
Just a really clean sound , Stevie was the greatest !
One of your best reactions to SRV. Love the respect you both have for quality musicians.
One of the most beautiful vibes ever. RIP
Got to see him with Jeff Beck. So blessed
Totally nailed it with the George Benson comparison with that one part/rift! As someone who had just graduated college in ‘93, excellent point on this being the beginning of the smooth jazz era of the 90s. 👍🏼
You are THE best reaction channel, it's great to see real musicians react to music.
Stevie always put one jazzy song on each album
Favorite Stevie Ray Vaughan song, masterpiece
I truly appreciate your understanding of the music and really like your reactions, thier top notch 👌🏾 👍🏾 🖖🏾👊🏾🎶🎶
Always have loved this song. SRV was so amazing. So glad I had the chance to see him on his last tour. Sure do miss him...
You guys are fun to watch. Good song choice and yes thats Reece on assorted keyboards 🎹. Don’t forget the legendary Tommy Shannon & Chris Layton aka Double trouble setting the incredible mood. Cosmic vibes im in outer space
Love your channel. Honest reactions, with no hype. You have to react to the studio version. Epic.
I'm glad somebody finally did this SRV review! This is the song that got me into Stevie. In the '90s, Alabama A&M's radio station would play it every midnight as I was leaving work. It's still hauntingly beautiful.
I'm grateful to influencers like yourselves as well, guys, and love your honest reactions. I have been listening/watching videos of SRV all week now and hadn't heard this song. Oh, my oh my! Just when you think it couldn't get any better, it does! Even though this is one of his mellow tunes, he's just as electrifying and passionate. This is a beautiful, soulful tune. Reese Wynans is awesome on the keyboard, too. Stevie Ray had a great band. When Stevie Ray pulled on those strings toward the end (I counted 6 times), he pulled on my heart strings! Oh, my Lord!!! It's so easy to get lost in this song, for that matter, all his songs!
Man you guys keep picking the songs that I want to see you react to. Always look forward to your reactions knowing that you guys appreciate great music and musicians. Keep on going, it gives me something to look forward to.
The FINAL studio Album with Double Trouble is called "In Step."...a year and a half after SRV nearly died from drugs and alcohol, he came back clean and sober. Working the 12:,steps....this song was the last track on the last Double Trouble Album....and he was freestyle, with reel to reel tapes, rolling, back turned to control room , and the engineer was freaking out cuz the tape was running out ( no pro tools in 1989) ...the Engineer was waving his arms, trying to warn Stevie that the recording was about to be scrubbed....Stevie finished the track , with 7 seconds left. Never knew.
What a treat, all the way around! One of my top 5 favorite grooves...ever! This carries great memories for me. ❤
Thank you so much for presenting this video, and for your thoughts on it. 😊🎶
Stevie absolutely Shimmers. Reese is sublime. Chris n' Tommy manage to both soar and hold it down at the same time. Doesn't get any more beautiful than this right here.
Couldn't be said any better than that💯. Thanks👋💙🎶
Beautifully put!
This is Amazing to Watch, but the Studio Version is even More Amazing to Listen to.
I know I’m coming in late with this but the plucking of the string at the head nut you were fascinated with. His Guitar Technician said “ He had fingers like Vise-grips”. A true one of a kind and such a terrible loss for everyone.
Absolutely beautiful! Love this song
This is one of those songs you don't want to ever end! Incredible! SRV! R.I.P.!
Also check out a Cat named Gary Moore. An insane guitar player as well.
"Separate Ways" live form London. It will blow your mind I promise you!
Do you notice him picking the strings with his left hand? The greatest ever!! Was lucky to have seen him a handful of times!!
I had this song on repeat during the labor and delivery of my youngest daughter in 1993 ♥️♥️ What a Master SRV was 🎸♥️ This is from his album “In Step” PHENOMENAL ALBUM!!
This is Blues from the Soul in to the Heart ...
I still call it very special unic Art of Loving Music , he's given to us to believe in us
The greatest ever I saw him in Adelaide South Australia in 1985 blew me away he received a standing ovation after his first number Vodoo Chile
The last of two times I saw SRV was on the Joe Cocker tour. He started his show playing The House is a Rocking behind his back start to finish. The 2nd number was so bluesy I had tears in my eyes and had to sit up in my seat and catch myself because I almost slid off.
I would give anything to have been at that concert 😢
Like the others I'm so glad someone finally reacted to this and I'm glad it was you guys because you get Stevie...2 more that keep being requested but get no play are: Ain't Gon Give Up On Love and Change It both live at The Capitol Theatre please💞✌️🙏
I really like listening to music with you guys. Your knowledge and appreciation of music and your desire to hear new music makes it enjoyable. Just when I’m thinking who does this sound like, you come with George Benson and I’m like Bingo!
Billy Strings.
Dust in a baggie, the one where he's in the living room.
And turmoil and tinfoil, the one where he's wearing the crazy glasses on stage.
Back in the day, I would piss everyone in the pool hall off by playing this masterpiece.
I mean they Loved it too... but being a long song they hated waiting for their songs to finnaly play.
I would just smile and te them to wait it out, I'll be worth it.
LOVE this one. I'm so happy to guys checked this out.
P.S. this is chill Blues with jazz elements, not "smooth jazz", sorry to disagree.
You guys are smashing it as usual! ♥✌✌
This is just phenomenal! I had no idea SRV could do this. Kinda reminds me of Europa by Santana…smooth, complex but so easy on the senses. Your allusion to George Benson is so insightful. Thank you for this one!
Our pleasure!
❤this song and SRV. RIP🌹
Great jazz work. Would have loved to see him playing beside Pat Metheny on a jazz fusion composition.
Absolutely amazing for a guy that never learned to read music! It’s all straight from the heart and soul ❤❤
FINALLY!!!!!!! some good reactors listening to my favorite SRV song and did it very well!!! A new subscriber for sure right here!!! Thank you both
The Benson comparison was astute. I hadn't thought of it before, but y'all are absolutely right. It came when he was sliding chords up and down the neck with a less bright tone than Stevie usually uses, but which George B uses extensively. GB also slides chords alot. It's a signature part if his playing. The picking high up near the tuning buttons is usually referred to as picking behind the nut, the grooved piece the strings run through to the tuners.
I'm expressed your music prowless is discovered SRV ,I was at 2 of his live concerts 1982 in New Orleans and 1989 at the Austin City Limits concert, God gave us one of his Angel's to entertain us through Stevie. His music is a blessing. My dear brothers. 😂 lol
Stevie's brother Jimmy said that Stevie was always pushing himself and that he never heard him play a song the same way twice. Elite creative endurance.
