Stevie said in an interview once, "I really have no idea what I am playing or what I will play, I can't read music, I have to get into a groove with the band, and then it just happens". The band follows him, and he follows the band. it is a circle.
I think Eric Clapton said something to the effect of “Stevie Ray Vaughan inspires people who have never played an instrument to learn guitar. And he inspires guitar players to give up and find a different pursuit” :p
I had the privilege of seeing SRV on tour with Jeff Beck when I was 16. Had never heard of him. As a young metalhead/guitar player I was completely unprepared. The experience changed my entire outlook on music. What an absolute legend.
Clapton gave him the best compliment I think another musician could ever give another musician and that was that SRV was a channel. 😮. In my mind, that means that there’s no distinction of where SRV ends and the guitar begins. It’s all one instrument channeling music. Pure musical genius.
See, the thing is, Stevie Ray cannot be compared to anyone. He was a natural born world shaker. A true phenom. We have a statue of him here in Texas, as he is a demi god here. Y'all should come visit and see it. Nobody meant any disrespect towards you or Chris Stapleton by defending Stevie Ray's honor and skills. He's very special to us, all of his fans. It's cool that y'all are discovering him, and appreciate him too. 👌🤠🥳🎸
Isn't Stevie Ray Texas' Favorite son ? Saw an image of the statue of Stevie 'holding' a yellow rose(of Texas). Touching. Love how his 'shadow' is playing guitar. Thank you Stevie, every day of my life. Peace.
I was at Alpine Valley that night. Fog was UNREAL. I got back to Chicago and went to sleep. My wife called me when she got to work with the news. I cried like a baby.
The great Delta Blues man Muddy Waters once said about SRV: "He's the whitest black bluesman he'd ever heard!!!" High praise from a true Blues G.O.A.T. And this cover is the definitive one out there..Imagine if Stevie and Jimi had lived what type of music they'd be creating ✌️🤘🧐
Stevie's Love of Jimi Hendrix really come through on this one !! Know one can channel Hendrix like SRV !!! 👍🎸🎶 RIP, Stevie & Jimi are know both Jamming together everyday !!! 😇
NOBODY could cover Jimi the way that Stevie covered Jimi . . . Not even Jimi. If you haven't seen Stevie's cover of "Little Wing", same venue, you really need to see it. It's another level . . . . .
Get out of here. Jimi's versions from Woodstock, Royal Albert Hall, Berkeley and Maui are the best versions as is Jimi's studio version. SRV was very good, Jimi was brilliant.
@@wesalker3479 Yes because he didn't repeat himself, he always played by what he felt. SRV was very consistent but also far more predictable. Jimi was sometimes sloppy or out of it but when he was on, he had no equal. The performances I mentioned are flawless and all are completely different and far more interesting.
Starting to be my favorite music reactors. You two get it, whatever the song is. The El Mocambo show is just fire. I wonder if the people in attendance were aware of just how lucky they were...? If you like SRV, I highly suggest Testify also from El Mocambo, it's just non-stop action from SRV. One of my favorites.
The best version of SRV doing this song is live at the Austin City Limits in TX. It has better audio quality and he even makes it a better show than the one you react to now. Always enjoy your reaction 😁
Yes ACL is fantastic but my all time favorite version is from his Toyko concert. He takes it to another level in free styling and riffing for 15 minutes. The camera work and lighting from here is excellent as well🎶🎸
I was very fortunate to see him play in Austin and I was in the second row and it changed my life. It scarred me in a good way. Left that concert in a daze. Love Stevie !!!
If you watch any other performance of Voodoo Chile you will realize how much he improvises his play. Most popular version of Voodoo is Austin 89, 6 years after this performance, where he is clean and sober and hard to believe but a better player
Everybody wonders why Hendrix set his guitar on fire that time. The reason he did that was, because he had just got back from the future in his time machine, where he witnessed this performance of Stevie doing his song! 😂
He didn't write the song until several years later than this performance at the El Macambo so you must be thinking of his performance at the Capitol Theatre 1985✌️💙
"Life Without You" Live at Capitol Theater is my favorite for many reasons. 1) The seemless guitar change 2) He speaks to the audience 3) the lyrics he wrote & sings for his friend Charley were actually chosen for Stevie's own gravestone 😭 "for all the love you brought our way" 4) He plays guitar with something besides his hands. Enjoy the GOAT 🩷 "Little Wing", to me, is what I think heaven might sound like.
Stevie has been on my top favorite's since 1982. I saw him at. Red Rocks in the summer of '83. Talk Talk opened, then SRV then Berlin. I was about 10 rows from the stage. fantastic show. he's greatly missed.
I grew up listening to Stevie and saw him on TV as a kid but is my fav blues singer and this is a great song like all of his but my opinion his best one is crossfire listen to it and watch his playing on the guitar and solo moment of playing bye far his best song to me I have all his DVDs and interviews of him and his brother and his brother was in a few of his videos bye the way and in one interview him and his brother play a double guitar while his brother stands behind him and leans over him to play at same time as stevie does it's awesome....
"Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" is a song recorded by the Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1968 that appears as the final track on the Electric Ladyland album ... Check out some Hendrix's if you dare....
Love how you just snapped out of it all of a sudden! Lol. I've seen other reactors do the same. One saying he forgot being on camera. Stevie puts you in a trance, you don't wanna look away, thinking you'll miss something. We're all missing him now. 💔💙. ☮️to all.
Jimi Hendrix's most iconic song. When he played it live, you never knew where he'd take it. SRV takes it to another level. You would have to know Hendrix's full library to recognize how Stevie includes other Jimi rifts into his live performances. Power of Love at 10 minutes in. Stevie totally got Hendrix and the vibe he was presenting.
I love his studio version, but this rendition at El Mocambo is by far my favorite. Chris & Tommy were fluid with his playing, which is why they were so tight. They all worked so well with each other that it was practically perfection, and the El Mocambo show was evidence of this. I've been to Stevie's grave a few times over the last 6 years. It's so peaceful there that I don't want to leave. Touching his gravestone, you can still feel that energy that he had.
Stevie Ray Vaughan. A guitar God. Is he the best ever? Some will put others in that discussion. But, no one will put anyone as being better. He has that rare sense that so few have ever had: “feel”. He can play a cover and remain true to that artists vision while at the same time being uniquely SRV. The immense, other worldly talent of a once in a lifetime artist. Take the opening. Just learn to play that. You will find it will take years to get it as good as Stevie (and Hendrix), if you can do it at all. And, that was only the intro!
@@bert0522 : Great list. I would put Glen Campbell ahead of Zappa. Even Zappa himself (who was close friends with Glen) put Glen Campbell ahead of him. Zappa told the story that when Eddie Van Halen found out that Zappa knew Glen Campbell he asked if Zappa could get him a guitar lesson with Glen.
I was at Stevie Ray Vaughn's last concert the night his helicopter crashed after the show at Alpine Valley, Wisconsin August 26th 1990. The fog was so bad after the show that we stopped and got a hotel room on the way home. The lineup was SRV, Eric Clapton, Robert Cray and Buddy Guy. RIP SRV!
Big regret I never saw him play . Saw his brother play early in his career . Song was written/performed by Jimmie Hendrix . Hendrix was a guitar god . Even Clapton admired him . This was Stevie's tribute to him . If you want to hear some original blues try Muddy Waters to start . Saw him with Clapton in my first concert . Lucky sometimes in my life .
Tommy Shannon the bass player, is a beast. His runs and lock down are amazing. He is on my personal Mt. Rushmore of bass players with Cliff Burton, Rob Trujillo and Jaco Pastorius
@CdnTrader1 Exactly...My Mt. Rushmore. Claypool, Geezer, Marcus Miller, Bootsy, Bill Chambers and a whole other whack of stand up bass players from the Jazz era and Billy Sheehan all are great truly awesomely great. But I grew up with Burton and I loved Trujillo with Suicidal Tendencies, Jaco is astonishing and Shannon is a stone killer. All part of my youth. Flea, Geddy Lee, David Eady and countless others are bassists I truly admire, but those 4 are guys where I first connected to the bass. Also, Tom Waits' long time bass player is awesome as is JJ Grey's bass player.
@@adamhickson I do agree with Tommy being on Mt.Rushmore, in the front of it. Back in them times music was the real music.Strap up and let the talent flow without any kind of support of panel boards they use now Ricky Hubbard here "SEMPER FI"DEVILDAWG 🇺🇲🇺🇲💥🙏
When I watch SRV play...I feel like it is so intense, he might just keel over. ;-) Speaking through the guitar...What a talent and such a tragic musical loss. All the best to you and yours. Cheers.
Stevie Ray Vaughan's only commercial success was with *"Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble - The House Is Rockin' (Official Video)"* *SRV Trivia* - Stevie booed through entire set at the 1982 Montreux Jazz Fest. Then returned in 1985 as one of the Festival's Head Liners.
You all have a cool style to your reactions, Stevie is the MAN undisputed - reaches out into another dimension and brings it back through himself into that old battered Strat (he called it "#1" and I can't speak for humanity at large but that is probably the most like, dream guitar for blues guitar players to have if you had one wish). It is safely with his older brother, primary role model, and also a Texas blues guitar legend, Jimmy Vaughan, right where it should be....other than in my living room...I have an "SRV Fender Strat" that is my love, so that's done fine for 3 decades, but you may see some other of his guitars in future videos but next time you see this one, the 1962 Fender Stratocaster that fits Stevie perfectly, take some pauses to really check it out - it has been through war and lived 100 lifetimes to be the vessel for his insane and beautiful music and skill - just like he had to live to get to be as good as this...they were meant for each other. Every video you hopefully gradually get to will just make you love him more and more - humble kind soul and the loss hurts deep down 30 years later. But, channels like this bringing him to a new world of people is to me is such a beautiful thing, keep doing your thing, lotta fun!
@@glenndavis1665 What a cool connection - my wallet always starts sending off alarm bells at the guitar stores as you never know when one will just grab you - but that is a much more unique link into the Universal connection that pervades the aura around Stevie. Suffice to say after 30 years my SRV Strat (not one of those 10K custom shop jobs with the fake wear and tear - cool as they are it feels like cheating) - plays like a dream though mine still looks pretty fresh but I am amazed to look back and realize it turns 30 next year. Again, I haven't been sleeping on pool tables gigging since I was 15, but it doesn't mean I wouldn't love to have a vintage worn -out Strat if money and luck brings one into my world. Hard to beat #1 though, his life and his look and his style - no one can call that anything but legit. Some hotshot new guy on the block - even if they are great and deserve tons of respect - it's kind of a cliche to try to emulate the 'Number 1' look- SRV is SRV. I reckon you have a pretty sweet collection!
The one hand playing is called hammer-ons. He and other guitarists do it while they are strumming and picking too, but it is hard to single it out. The one hand hammering is a display of its full feature !😊
Thanks for this beautiful reaction! I love seeing folks get turned on to Stevie’s music all these years later. Another two amazing Blues numbers are “Mary Had a Little Lamb” live from Austin 1989 ( there are 2 Austin shows, please make sure it’s the 89 show!), and “Tin Pan Alley” featuring Stevie’s friend and fellow Texas Bluesman, Johnny Copeland. Both are absolute FIRE!!! Thanks again. ❤️Donna G
It was mesmerizing to watch him play live...I had the pleasure of seeing him in a smaller venue shortly before he passed and I was blown away!!!! To see him bend 13 gauge strings (which are very thick for a guitar) was just amazing!!! Then he sings which I wish more people recognized his singing but he didn't think he was a good singer😮.....He was so unpretencious for being a legend he had no issue talking to anyone...we lost an amazing blues artist but also an amazing human being!!!! RIP SRV🎸❤
Great reaction to a legend who left this world far too soon. RIP Stevie. And the original artist RIP Jimi. If there is a Heaven these two are jamming as we live our lives.
Fun fact… Stevie Ray couldn’t read music… you should watch him play this song you just watched “ voodoo child “ live in Nashville, he plays most of it behind his back.GOAT
Greetings my friends. I really enjoy watching you both expand your musical horizon. Steavie Ray, Eddie Van Halen are so fun to watch. Their mastery of the guitar are truly unrivaled. And yet my friends there is another...a man by the name of Roy Clark. It is said that if it had strings he could play it. Multi instrument player. Violin/fiddle, guitar, bango and probably a barbed wire fence if he wanted to. Might I suggest Maleguena...live on network TV and you'll see even the actors are stunned. Dueling banjos live is a great one as well. He was very funny while being a wizard with the strings
I joined yall not long ago ,great job you both ,check out "Life Without You" Stevie Ray Vaughan at the Capital Theater 1985 the best one he had out in my opinion, much love too you both Ricky Hubbard here 🙏"SEMPER FI"DEVILDAWG"🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲💥 bless yall from Texas. Stevie the GOAT.
Stevie was in a class with the likes of clzpton, Carlos Santana, jimmy Hendricks and a few others that made the guitar come alive. Carlos was the epitome of all things cool while on stage. Stevie was the wild child of unexpected awesomeness on stage. R.I.P. Stevie.
The goat in my opinion. And think about this. Think about all the great guitarists in history. How many of them played guitar and did the singing? Very very few. It's pretty hard to do.
His band mates Tommy Shannon (bass) and Chris Layton (drums) were very good musicians as well. It was their continuity and playing off of each other that made them so good. Also the fact that they weren't just doing it for the money and genuinely for the love of music was a major factor.
Keep in mind, Chris Layton is the current drummer for Kenny Wayne Shepherd. KWS is an amazing guitarist, you can hear the SRV influence in his music. Listen to Kenny Wayne live & you will be impressed.
It’s weird how enjoyable it is to watch people discover the music that I love. It’s the closest thing to hearing it again for the first time 😊❤
Could’ve said any better! I’m with you on that 💯
I agree Completely!
true remember when we discovered it we didnt see them jam unless went to concert. All radio and vinyl
Not weird at all! We've done the same! 😂
I said very thing just a couple days ago!
Stevie said in an interview once, "I really have no idea what I am playing or what I will play, I can't read music, I have to get into a groove with the band, and then it just happens". The band follows him, and he follows the band. it is a circle.
Sound like same dynamic as Jimmy Page in Zeppelin.
This brings to mind Harry Mack and his ability to spontaneous create insane tracks on the spot, every week even.
I think Eric Clapton said something to the effect of “Stevie Ray Vaughan inspires people who have never played an instrument to learn guitar. And he inspires guitar players to give up and find a different pursuit” :p
Eric so overrated as Is Chris Stapleton
Steve Ray Vaughn plays the guitar so incredibly well because his guitar is an appendage of this body.
And his SOUL!
His Johnson Guitar!
OR... maybe Stevie is an appendage of the guitar!!??
I had the privilege of seeing SRV on tour with Jeff Beck when I was 16. Had never heard of him. As a young metalhead/guitar player I was completely unprepared. The experience changed my entire outlook on music. What an absolute legend.

You closed your eyes at precisely the wrong moment! Listening to Stevie, close your eyes. Watching him, bring eye drops and don't blink!
His VOODOO CHILD in Austin TX. was a much cleaner performance to me personally. "Life Without You" at the CAPITOL THEATER is a must see
Loved the smooth guitar change
Amen to that
Cleaner but this one just had so much feelings.
RIP Stevie. Jimmy and Stevie were friends. The cover is Stevie’s way of honoring his friends memory. RIP Jimmy

Your face has not been thoroughly melted off until you've heard Stevie's cover of Hendrix's "3rd stone from the sun" at the El Mocambo.
Sometimes his own band members Tommy and Chris, look up at him in amazement while they are playing. I just adore Stevie..
Cool watching younger gens getting into our music. It was awesome then still is. Cheers

SRV is the GOAT. Not only that but he never played a song the exact same way live, so every live performance was one of a kind. RIP
Watching SRV will make a person appreciate people playing a guitar in a different way.
Is not just SRV making his guitar scream for mercy, but the whole band is tight! Like one unit.

I got to see SRV and Eric Clapton in Cincinnati Ohio just before he passed.
Y’all were getting I to this one! SRV was such a talent. He is missed so much
Rumor is after the show the guitar pressed charges for the way he treated it
He was a wicked man on the guitar and he love that go-go powder!

In my opinion the greatest guitarist who has ever lived. I know it’s debatable, but you’re not changing my mind
"Third stone from the Sun" from THIS concert will BLOW YOUR MIND📣❗️👈
Saw him back up Jeff Beck at Cobo in Detroit on "The battle of the guitar legends" tour. Unbelievable
Was lucky enough to have seen him. I had no idea who he was, he opened the show with this.😮
Big regret I never saw him play . Saw his brother play early in his career . Song was written/performed by Jimmie Hendrix . Hendrix was a guitar god . Even Clapton admired him . This was Stevie's tribute to him . If you want to hear some original blues try Muddy Waters to start . Saw him with Clapton in my first concert . Lucky sometimes in my life .
Stevie an Jimi were both amazung guitar players, and we lost them both so young. Jimi at 27, Stevie at 35. RIP Jimi & Stevie!!!
Stevie the number one !!
SRV is the truth.
Legend
I saw Stevie live in the late 80’s. Was blown away! ❤
Tommy Shannon the bass player, is a beast. His runs and lock down are amazing. He is on my personal Mt. Rushmore of bass players with Cliff Burton, Rob Trujillo and Jaco Pastorius

All the best to you and yours.

The "Blues" are the roots of rock n roll.
You could ask SRV a question and he could answer with only his guitar and you would understand completely.
I saw him the night before he died. Stevie, Jeff Healy and Eric Clapton. Concert price $20. Best concert ever!!!
I think when this man says calm down...you better listen! lol

This is a Jimi Hendrix tune. SRV is doing a very fine cover. Both of them are at the top of the craft in a league of their own.

Some hotshot new guy on the block - even if they are great and deserve tons of respect - it's kind of a cliche to try to emulate the 'Number 1' look- SRV is SRV. I reckon you have a pretty sweet collection!
Love the wild abandon he could conjure in his playing. Just love it!
The one hand playing is called hammer-ons. He and other guitarists do it while they are strumming and picking too, but it is hard to single it out. The one hand hammering is a display of its full feature !😊
He snd other guitarists also use what they call flicking, which is a way to add left hand picking on the fret boards.
That guitar spent the rest of its life in therapy.
😂
Thanks for this beautiful reaction! I love seeing folks get turned on to Stevie’s music all these years later. Another two amazing Blues numbers are “Mary Had a Little Lamb” live from Austin 1989 ( there are 2 Austin shows, please make sure it’s the 89 show!), and “Tin Pan Alley” featuring Stevie’s friend and fellow Texas Bluesman, Johnny Copeland. Both are absolute FIRE!!! Thanks again. ❤️Donna G
We loved it! Thx for dropping by!
Listen to the Austin City Limits version of both Texas Flood and Voodoo Child. You will see how different the same songs are from two different shows.
It was mesmerizing to watch him play live...I had the pleasure of seeing him in a smaller venue shortly before he passed and I was blown away!!!! To see him bend 13 gauge strings (which are very thick for a guitar) was just amazing!!! Then he sings which I wish more people recognized his singing but he didn't think he was a good singer😮.....He was so unpretencious for being a legend he had no issue talking to anyone...we lost an amazing blues artist but also an amazing human being!!!! RIP SRV🎸❤
You have to watch Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jeff Healey play little sister together. It is a performance that you will never FORGET!!!!
Coming soon!
Great reaction to a legend who left this world far too soon. RIP Stevie. And the original artist RIP Jimi. If there is a Heaven these two are jamming as we live our lives.
One of Jimi Hendrix best songs covered by another great musician in SRV. ❤❤
Jimis father once said he could feel Jimi when Stevie played his songs.
Definitely check out" Life Without You" at the Capitol Theater! Unbelievable everything he does in that one!!
When you can sing at the same time, it makes it twice as hard.
the whole EL MOCAMBO show is early 80's ,,raw SRV ,,,,,,,,,,and it kicks M EFFIN ASS
Fun fact… Stevie Ray couldn’t read music… you should watch him play this song you just watched “ voodoo child “ live in Nashville, he plays most of it behind his back.GOAT
Now you know why he is the GOAT OF GOATS....PURE Texas Blues! More Led Zeppelin...live MSG 1973 or Earls Court 1975! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love and miss Stevie.
And Stevie always play the same guitar he was like Willie Nelson because he loved the sound and the tone of the guitar
Greetings my friends. I really enjoy watching you both expand your musical horizon. Steavie Ray, Eddie Van Halen are so fun to watch. Their mastery of the guitar are truly unrivaled. And yet my friends there is another...a man by the name of Roy Clark. It is said that if it had strings he could play it. Multi instrument player. Violin/fiddle, guitar, bango and probably a barbed wire fence if he wanted to. Might I suggest Maleguena...live on network TV and you'll see even the actors are stunned. Dueling banjos live is a great one as well. He was very funny while being a wizard with the strings
Now this is one bad dude RIP SRV
There's a video with Stevie and his brother playing the same guitar at the same time
One thing to mention is he apparently use heavier strings and still does great bends
I joined yall not long ago ,great job you both ,check out "Life Without You" Stevie Ray Vaughan at the Capital Theater 1985 the best one he had out in my opinion, much love too you both Ricky Hubbard here 🙏"SEMPER FI"DEVILDAWG"🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲💥 bless yall from Texas. Stevie the GOAT.
JIMI and STEVIE came from the SAME HERD OF GOATS!! 🐐🐐🎸🎸🔥🔥!! STEVIE PICKED UP WHERE JIMI LEFT OFF!! 😍😁🔥🔥🎸🎸🐐🐐🤯🤯🤪🤪!!
I saw Stevie open for Robert Plant in Toronto. RIP🙏😢
Great version of this, been awhile since I've seen this. Nice reaction!
Welcome back!
He went BEAST MODE
Stevie was in a class with the likes of clzpton, Carlos Santana, jimmy Hendricks and a few others that made the guitar come alive. Carlos was the epitome of all things cool while on stage. Stevie was the wild child of unexpected awesomeness on stage. R.I.P. Stevie.
The goat in my opinion. And think about this. Think about all the great guitarists in history. How many of them played guitar and did the singing? Very very few. It's pretty hard to do.
My sister met SRV in Detroit just weeks before he died on the helicopter crash. Sad.. Legend!
His band mates Tommy Shannon (bass) and Chris Layton (drums) were very good musicians as well. It was their continuity and playing off of each other that made them so good. Also the fact that they weren't just doing it for the money and genuinely for the love of music was a major factor.
Keep in mind, Chris Layton is the current drummer for Kenny Wayne Shepherd. KWS is an amazing guitarist, you can hear the SRV influence in his music. Listen to Kenny Wayne live & you will be impressed.
You will have to check out Tin Pan Alley with Stevie and Johnny Copeland ♡♡♡ Lol they both have Mad Skills♡♡♡ one of my Favorite with Stevie♡♡♡♡
