I wanted to start with a shorter, less improv performance. Now that she knows, we can start to get into the longer sets where he really takes off. I can listen all day 😁
Introduce her to his exquisite instrumental, "Riviera Paradise," that is infused with soft elements of jazz. Also, to another of his original pieces... his "Ain't Gone 'n' Give Up On Love" at the Capitol Theater. The vocals are as passionate as the guitar playing!
@Flickering Box I bet she'd love Jeff Healey and Stevie Ray Vaughan "Look at Little Sister ". Best performance ever for Jeff. Makes you glad you're alive to witness it. 👌💯
Love, Love, Love ❤SRV(RIP) I was blessed to see him couple of time's in concert and meet him and shake his spectacular, angelic, hand 😅 And tell him how much he was Loved by his fans❤ he was very happy, kind and humble, Beautiful soul and of course I told him how wonderful his voice was, because he was very self conscious about it 😅 but we all know how great it sounds ❤ amazing🎉and his guitar playing was off the chain!!!!😊So he knew he was Loved very much💯🥰 Thank you for jamming Stevie Ray,🤘🇺🇲🦾🎸🙏👍👍✌️🎧 Maybe you could jam🎶 Life without you? It's a great song 💯Love your channel and your reactions 👍🙏🎧🤘Rock on and Rock hard 🦾💯🙏✌️🤘📀❤😻🥰
Stevie learned to play guitar in an amazingly short period of time when he was still a teenager. You are right when you said it was "like breathing" to him.
great reaction to pride and joy. its nice to bring his music to a ' YOUNGSTER ' BB king called his guitar LUCILLE. stevie called his guitar LOVER BOY. stii considered top 5 blues guitarist of all time. his music transcends time 40 years later. R.I.P. SRV
When I watch great guitarists, I watch their hands. Been watching hands for 40 years. All of them. In particular, and this makes complete sense, the two people with the supplest hands are Stevie and Jimi. Sooooooooooo relaxed. Just effortless in movement; zero tension. Beautiful to watch and epic for the ear. Great post.
Some folks don't realize how great he really was. He literally feels the music through his fingers, half the time if you watch he plays with his eyes closed.
My mother's name was Joy so, she loved anything with Joy in it. There were few things she loved more than a great guitar player. The first time she ever saw Stevie Ray, this was the first song he did. It was instant love. This reminds me of her. RIP Mom and Stevie Ray.
You mean that was the first thing your Mother heard from him? That's so cool. He did it first cause he knew she was watching. Stevie was magic, it could have very well gone down like that. 🤠😇 Bless them both. ☮️
Welcome to the wonderful, amazing world of the blues guitar and the amazing music of Stevie Ray Vaughan. The more you watch, the more you’ll be amazed. Keep digging into the world of SRV, you won’t be sorry. Stay Cool 😎 and… \m/ Stay Metal \m/
I love the reaction Alexis and this was a great choice to break you in to SRV......I had the please of seeing Stevie shortly before he passed away at a concert on the west coast and it was mesmerizing to watch him play live.....he had soul flowing thru his veins and I have read he was one of the most unpretencious musicians around....it was painful to hear he passed away because he was a true legend...RIP SRV🎸❤
Now that Alexis has lost her Vaughanginity, Texas Flood live at El Mocambo must be next! This tune is good but Texas Flood is the best video of any of his performances!
1989 Albq NM... i worked security right in front of the stage under SRV, i keep looking over my shoulders to see him sing and jam out quite a few times, my boss came over and said 'hey! watch the crowed.' The next year we heard of the tragic accident.
@@hollysmith9979 I saw him with BB King as well.... Chicago Blues fest. At the end of the show, there was an epic blues jam with BB, Stevie Ray, Keith Richards, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, and if I remember correctly, Johnny Winter.
I started playing guitar back in the mid 80s and SRV was one of my first guitar idols back then. I had been huge fans of many other guitarists like Clapton, Paige, Rhodes and Hendrix but SRV was one of the first guitarists that amazed me by his tone alone. There was so much power and energy in his tone that it sounded like he was channeling pure lightning from his strings to the amp. A great memory for me was that I got to see SRV live during his "In Step" album tour. Even better was that my best friend's older brother, who was friends with a number of people in the music industry, knew the guy running the sound for the concernt. He was able to get us back stage passes to meet Stevie. I wish I had some great story where I got to meet him and jam together but it was really just 20-30 people who got to line up, shake his hand and talk to him for a minute or so. Still, for a 17 year old kid who had been playing guitar for a few years at that point it was absolutely amazing to me. 😁
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 that we stopped on the way home and got a hotel room. The lineup was SRV, Eric Clapton, Robert Cray and Buddy Guy. RIP SRV!
If we'd only had youtube back in the 80s, I wouldn't have taken so long to see how good SRV really was. I never saw him live but I remember when he died, in 1990 if I remember correctly. It wasn't until earlier this year I watched Texas Flood and I just couldn't believe it
Stevie was quoted as claiming .. "Jimi came to him in his sleep and they jammed together" SRV overshadowed his brother but they did an album and video stuff. Rock on ...
SRV literally played HIS FINGER TIPS OFF....He would have to glue the tips back on with super glue....INSANE. I remember hearing on the radio, sitting at the James K. Polk Motel near Nashville when they announced his death.
I had the pleasure of seeing SRV at a few different venues and was blown away every time. The first show (Grandstand seating at a racetrack) will always stand out though. The played Couldn't Stand The Weather with a thunderstorm filled with lightning developing in the distance behind the stage. Eerie and hauntingly beautiful.
Another great blues guitarist is Jeff Healey who had cancer as a small child and was blind his live version of “see the light” in 1988 is awesome. Became popular to all novice people when he was in Road House with Patrick Swayze.
I would suggest watching the 1989 performance of Voodoo Child (Slight Return) at Austin City Limits as it's a masterclass of his guitar playing and seeing a clean and sober Stevie show you just how much better he was after he finally shed his drug and alcohol addiction that plagued him for most of his life
Got to see him alive a couple months before he passed away. There are so many songs that really showcase his playing other than this one. Don't get me wrong it's a great song but Texas flood, 10 pan alley, one that nobody reviews Riviera Paradise, Lenny any of them is incredible
I’m stoked to see what y’all are bringing up for reactions. Just saw your Rush “Tom Sawyer” & this popped up! SRV is the greatest ever imo, just for the soul & ability he put into every single note…the guitar was part of him almost. Looking forward to seeing more of his work.
"You better leave my little girl alone" would be amazing for her to see. As well as the unforgettable duo performance he did with Johnny Copeland (Blues Legend) called "Tin Pan Alley" many regard as one of the best Blues performances ever. Stevie's genuine and obvious respect for him is so humbly evident. And you can look very closely to see the amazement in Mr. Copeland's face during several of Stevie's ad-lib deep dive solos. Absolutely phenomenal performance. Where old school and next level meet, trade off and respect each other. As the famous quote states: "Good blues guitarist legends can play it in sentences...Stevie plays paragraphs." RIP Thank you for showing this wonderful young lady legendary music. She may also get a real kick out of his version of "Mary had a little lamb" which floors allot of the younger people. Liked, Subscribed, Bell hit. Wonderful YT Channel.
this was the 82 performance at Montreux Casino Jazz Festival ---- the audience booed him! They wanted jazz, he played blues. Legend has it: David Bowie was there and discovered him! The full Montreux concert was on youtube but got taken down
I have to admit that it broke my heart a little when Alexis said "never heard of him" and had never heard any blues music. You wouldn't have a lot of the music today without Blues music...Rock music is a direct descendant of the Blues.
Introduced all my friends to Stevie back in the 80s. Sadly never got to see him live. I was living in London when I heard the news of the crash. Love watching Alexis's facial expressions. Side note observation I got a laugh out of... New-generation Alexis is using Beats headphones, and Burch goes old school with his AKG. :). Love my AKGs, too.
We saw Stevie open for the Who in the Astrodome, September 6, 1989. Pete Townsend came out right after SRV finished grabbed a mic and said, "I don't think I can follow that." And walked off. The Who of course did play. I just thought that was one heck of a compliment to SRV.
His career only lasted 7 years. His 1st album came out June 13, 1983 and he died on August 27, 1990. That's crazy to think about. He made so much great music in such a short time span.
First time I saw SRV in concert was warming up for BOSTON (weird billing). Never had heard of him and it was one of those "OMG, who is this guy?" moments. Lucky to have seen him 2 more times after that, the last time with his brother Jimmie's group The Fabulous Thunderbirds.
Believe it or not I got to go backstage at 3 concerts in 1984 ,1 in Davis CA,1 in Sacramento CA,& 1 in Chico CA 3 nights in a row with my first husband and his boss....... this was in Stevie's Dr*g days, but so freaking awesome ✌️
Not the song I would've picked as for many guitarists (myself included) say the hardest part of this song is the riff and licks while singing. The dynamics he uses and the ability to mute certain strings while letting notes ring through and changing constantly. Hybrid picking bends all while singing. I can play all of the notes in time. I can't sound anywhere near him and I've only heard maybe three guitarists sound like him. RIP my hero.
SRV was exceptional. I'd like to suggest you take a look at another exceptional blues player that doesn't get the attention that SRV gets, but who was a groundbreaking legend of a guitarist, the late Rory Gallagher. Listen to the 1984 performance in Belfast of "I Wonder Who" for a sample of Rory's electric blues. For a different take, try listening to his acoustic version of "Out on the Western Plain". Or he and Bela Fleck performing "Walking Blues" in 1994 at Montreux in an impromptu set-neither artist had any idea they would be playing together and had never done so previously. You can feel the fun these two artists were having. Thanks!
Stevie Ray was a Martian. I remember exactly where I was when the news came over my car stereo about the helicopter crash on 8/27/90. such a huge talent lost that day.
Okay young mom, Here we go! In this day & age cellphones are a part of many people! Stevie Ray's guitar was a part of HIM!! You'' see & hear in a moment or two..... Very special with a truck load of raw talent. Alexis I can almost guarantee you will enjoy Stevie!!!! Now review Texas Flood. His older brother Jimmy is a good guitarist also! No wait you two do check it out!!!!!
Alexis dear, for your own pleasure listen to Little Wing, but the studio version from the album way back. ❤ Beautiful Jimi Hendrix composition, honored by SRV.

Texas Flood at El Mocombo will blow her mind.
I wanted to start with a shorter, less improv performance. Now that she knows, we can start to get into the longer sets where he really takes off. I can listen all day 😁
I second this. Pride and Joy is a personal favorite of mine, but its far from a showcase of what SRV can do or was really about.
Introduce her to his exquisite instrumental, "Riviera Paradise," that is infused with soft elements of jazz. Also, to another of his original pieces... his "Ain't Gone 'n' Give Up On Love" at the Capitol Theater. The vocals are as passionate as the guitar playing!
No kiddin Stevie sweating like a dog and makin his strat wail like a witch doctor on fire ...🔥👍🎸🎤
@Flickering Box I bet she'd love Jeff Healey and Stevie Ray Vaughan "Look at Little Sister ". Best performance ever for Jeff. Makes you glad you're alive to witness it. 👌💯
I was fortunate to have met Mr. Vaughn and the rest of Double Trouble in Old Orchard Beach Maine.Mr. Vaughn came off as ever so humble.
Love, Love, Love ❤SRV(RIP) I was blessed to see him couple of time's in concert and meet him and shake his spectacular, angelic, hand 😅 And tell him how much he was Loved by his fans❤ he was very happy, kind and humble, Beautiful soul and of course I told him how wonderful his voice was, because he was very self conscious about it 😅 but we all know how great it sounds ❤ amazing🎉and his guitar playing was off the chain!!!!😊So he knew he was Loved very much💯🥰 Thank you for jamming Stevie Ray,🤘🇺🇲🦾🎸🙏👍👍✌️🎧 Maybe you could jam🎶 Life without you? It's a great song 💯Love your channel and your reactions 👍🙏🎧🤘Rock on and Rock hard 🦾💯🙏✌️🤘📀❤😻🥰
You have to watch "Texas Flood" live, you will lose your mind. RIP SRV
At El Macambo
I love to see the younger generation discover the music of my generation. Gives me hope.
Stevie learned to play guitar in an amazingly short period of time when he was still a teenager. You are right when you said it was "like breathing" to him.
great reaction to pride and joy. its nice to bring his music to a ' YOUNGSTER ' BB king called his guitar LUCILLE. stevie called his guitar LOVER BOY. stii considered top 5 blues guitarist of all time. his music transcends time 40 years later. R.I.P. SRV
When I watch great guitarists, I watch their hands. Been watching hands for 40 years. All of them. In particular, and this makes complete sense, the two people with the supplest hands are Stevie and Jimi. Sooooooooooo relaxed. Just effortless in movement; zero tension. Beautiful to watch and epic for the ear. Great post.
SRV was my intro to the blues and I've been hooked ever since can't go wrong with SRV
Texas Flood live at the El Mocambo for sure
Texas Flood live at El Macombo is one she'll love. And Mary Had a Little Lamb. Jim
Some folks don't realize how great he really was. He literally feels the music through his fingers, half the time if you watch he plays with his eyes closed.
Never heard of him and now you'll never forget him
What's crazy , he didn't want to sing just play. But when the female singer left he took over and KILLED IT !!
My mother's name was Joy so, she loved anything with Joy in it. There were few things she loved more than a great guitar player. The first time she ever saw Stevie Ray, this was the first song he did.
It was instant love.
This reminds me of her.
RIP Mom and Stevie Ray.
You mean that was the first thing your Mother heard from him? That's so cool. He did it first cause he knew she was watching.
Stevie was magic, it could have very well gone down like that. 🤠😇 Bless them both. ☮️
BORN IN DALLAS LIVED IN AUSTIN AND WAS THE GREATEST GUITARIST WHO HAS EVER BEEN AND EVER WILL BE RIP SRV WE ALL MISS YOU
Welcome to the wonderful, amazing world of the blues guitar and the amazing music of Stevie Ray Vaughan. The more you watch, the more you’ll be amazed. Keep digging into the world of SRV, you won’t be sorry.
Stay Cool 😎 and…
\m/ Stay Metal \m/
You have got to show her Texas Flood... Great reaction, as always!
His playing is so effortless, it’s truly amazing.
I love the reaction Alexis and this was a great choice to break you in to SRV......I had the please of seeing Stevie shortly before he passed away at a concert on the west coast and it was mesmerizing to watch him play live.....he had soul flowing thru his veins and I have read he was one of the most unpretencious musicians around....it was painful to hear he passed away because he was a true legend...RIP SRV🎸❤

I saw Stevie in L.A. on his last two tours, BB King opened up both shows. Amazing. Show her "Texas Flood" for a real blues experience!
I also saw him with BB King and it was a phenomenal concert on the west coast also....he was incredible!!!!❤

I can always count on SRV to give me goose bumps. Sipping a tasty whisky and listening\watching SRV , for me It's heaven.
Do Texas Flood live, her mind will be blown.
STEVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best.
My absolute favourite song we ever covered. This song is just so much fun.
SRV had the absolute respect from the OG Blues guitarists. He could jam with the best of them
Please show her Texas Flood (Live at the El Mocambo). When I saw it for the first time in blew my mind.
If we'd only had youtube back in the 80s, I wouldn't have taken so long to see how good SRV really was. I never saw him live but I remember when he died, in 1990 if I remember correctly.
It wasn't until earlier this year I watched Texas Flood and I just couldn't believe it
Great teaser , to the Mind Blowing performances to come....please continue !!
Stevie made Oak Cliff TX proud my he never be forgetten.
I love SRV!!!! I was fortunate enough to see him live in Kalamazoo Michigan the day before he died.
He is one of the greats, when it comes to guitar players. Love SRV.
SRV was a unique talent and revitalized the blues for a whole generation. You should listen to Texas Flood!
Stevie was quoted as claiming .. "Jimi came to him in his sleep and they jammed together" SRV overshadowed his brother but they did an album and video stuff. Rock on ...
Yes, listen to Texas Flood live at the mocambo. Magic.
I love how the Bass was noticed and seems to always get unnoticed. Shannon is a badass bassist
SRV literally played HIS FINGER TIPS OFF....He would have to glue the tips back on with super glue....INSANE. I remember hearing on the radio, sitting at the James K. Polk Motel near Nashville when they announced his death.
First time i her life, she is hearing real music! welcome to the music!
I had the pleasure of seeing SRV at a few different venues and was blown away every time. The first show (Grandstand seating at a racetrack) will always stand out though. The played Couldn't Stand The Weather with a thunderstorm filled with lightning developing in the distance behind the stage. Eerie and hauntingly beautiful.
I'm not surprised anymore when 'youngsters' never heard of SRV. First time hearing him...all caught up. 🎸👽. ☮️to all.
Anything from his Austin City Limits concert is fire! Recommend Tightrope Noone really reacts to it. SRV is the goat
BADLANDS 🤘 DREAMS IN THE DARK...
Can't ever go wrong with SRV & Double Trouble... love seeing Alexis get introduced for the first time to SRV!
I agree with some of the other people who have commented on this that you need to check out Texas Flood Live At The El Mocambo.
"Mary had a little lamb" is one of my favorites.
Stevie Ray Vaughan. the song Texas Flood .1983 at the El mocambo. Jaw-dropping.
SRV was as talented as they get! I saw him with Joe Cocker a month before he passed away. What a show that I remember fondly.
Oh, man, I wish there was a video of that concert! That would be awesome!
@@debbiegrubb6235 I'm sure there must be some footage of that tour somewhere.
Life without you, capitol theater NJ will touch her soul !
Another great blues guitarist is Jeff Healey who had cancer as a small child and was blind his live version of “see the light” in 1988 is awesome. Became popular to all novice people when he was in Road House with Patrick Swayze.
React to his song Look At Little Sister from Austin, Texas. You both WILL NOT be disappointed !!
I would suggest watching the 1989 performance of Voodoo Child (Slight Return) at Austin City Limits as it's a masterclass of his guitar playing and seeing a clean and sober Stevie show you just how much better he was after he finally shed his drug and alcohol addiction that plagued him for most of his life
Tightrope and Leave My Girl Alone from his 1989 Austin City Limits show are a must see!
Got to see him alive a couple months before he passed away. There are so many songs that really showcase his playing other than this one. Don't get me wrong it's a great song but Texas flood, 10 pan alley, one that nobody reviews Riviera Paradise, Lenny any of them is incredible
oh yea Riviera Paradise is Stevie at his smoothest.... great choice...
Nice reaction I’m sure she’ll flip with a video with him putting the guitar behind his back or playing with his teeth
Wanna blow her away? SRV Live at El Macambo... Texas flood. What he does with the guitar 3/4 through the song is nothing less then mesmerizing.
I’m stoked to see what y’all are bringing up for reactions. Just saw your Rush “Tom Sawyer” & this popped up! SRV is the greatest ever imo, just for the soul & ability he put into every single note…the guitar was part of him almost. Looking forward to seeing more of his work.
My heart belongs to SRV ❤
Riviera Paradise !!

You should show her the brothers playing together on the double neck guitar
Love this song!❤

Can I suggest for Pride and Joy another performance? SRV LOVE STRUCK BABY - PRIDE AND JOY RARE.
Another amazing guitarist of the era...blues-rock-jazz fusion...Eric Johnson, also from Texas
I'm anxious to see what Alexis thinks about the live performance of Texas Flood.... Blown away will be an understatement!
Love it, thank you! 🙂The"Texas Flood"-live next?
Recorded, Foreigner drops tonight, then VH then Texas Flood live
@@flickeringboxofficial Awesome, thanks!! And you sir, have great taste!! 🙂Cheers from Sweden.
You can think of the Blues as a train chugging along telling you a story. That's why blues sounds the way it does.
Yeah this is just the entry song into SRV. Have fun going down this rabbit hole!
I can't believe it's been 30 years.
Alexis would really enjoy hearing SRV's song, "Life Without You" live at the Capital Theater, Passaic, NJ.
Introduced all my friends to Stevie back in the 80s. Sadly never got to see him live. I was living in London when I heard the news of the crash. Love watching Alexis's facial expressions.
Side note observation I got a laugh out of... New-generation Alexis is using Beats headphones, and Burch goes old school with his AKG. :). Love my AKGs, too.
We saw Stevie open for the Who in the Astrodome, September 6, 1989. Pete Townsend came out right after SRV finished grabbed a mic and said, "I don't think I can follow that." And walked off. The Who of course did play. I just thought that was one heck of a compliment to SRV.
Amazing my favorite guitar player. How about some love for Double Trouble backing him up great reaction.
The guitar change in the middle of "look at little sister" on Austin City Limits. Proves her is a guitar god.
I’m glad for Alexis that she has this gig to introduce to her the best decade in music.
You really need to show her “Mary Had A Little Lamb” live on Austin City Limits. It’s spectacular.
Fantastic Musician
Texas flood-- ultimate Stevie!
Tommy's mixed pretty heavy here, I like it.
He is one of the pinnacles due to his unique style. Check out a few other songs young lady you will love it!
The Goat hands down
His career only lasted 7 years. His 1st album came out June 13, 1983 and he died on August 27, 1990. That's crazy to think about. He made so much great music in such a short time span.
First time I saw SRV in concert was warming up for BOSTON (weird billing). Never had heard of him and it was one of those "OMG, who is this guy?" moments. Lucky to have seen him 2 more times after that, the last time with his brother Jimmie's group The Fabulous Thunderbirds.
Pride and Joy on Unplugged after he sobered up was awesome as well
Guitar wizardry!
Believe it or not I got to go backstage at 3 concerts in 1984 ,1 in Davis CA,1 in Sacramento CA,& 1 in Chico CA 3 nights in a row with my first husband and his boss....... this was in Stevie's Dr*g days, but so freaking awesome ✌️
Not the song I would've picked as for many guitarists (myself included) say the hardest part of this song is the riff and licks while singing. The dynamics he uses and the ability to mute certain strings while letting notes ring through and changing constantly. Hybrid picking bends all while singing. I can play all of the notes in time. I can't sound anywhere near him and I've only heard maybe three guitarists sound like him. RIP my hero.
I saw Stevie Ray Vaughan the night before he died in Alpine Valley Wisconsin. It was Stevie, Jeff Healy and Eric Clapton. Concert price $20!
SRV was exceptional. I'd like to suggest you take a look at another exceptional blues player that doesn't get the attention that SRV gets, but who was a groundbreaking legend of a guitarist, the late Rory Gallagher. Listen to the 1984 performance in Belfast of "I Wonder Who" for a sample of Rory's electric blues. For a different take, try listening to his acoustic version of "Out on the Western Plain".

You can feel the fun these two artists were having. Thanks!
Yessss 😂 we got a newby fixing to listen to SRV and I'm pretty confident wether she likes the song or not.... Steve's Guitar will get her either way 😂
The greatest guitarist of all time in my opinion
Stevie Ray was a Martian. I remember exactly where I was when the news came over my car stereo about the helicopter crash on 8/27/90. such a huge talent lost that day.

Alexis I can almost guarantee you will enjoy Stevie!!!! Now review Texas Flood. His older brother Jimmy is a good guitarist also! No wait you two do check it out!!!!!
Dude! You have to show her Stevie's "Mary Had A Little Lamb" live in Austin. One o his most awesome performances.
That's the Texas Sound right there
I'm excited for Alexis to hear early Van halen... Edward Van Halen G.O.A.T 🎸🎸👑👑
Alexis dear, for your own pleasure listen to Little Wing, but the studio version from the album way back. ❤
Beautiful Jimi Hendrix composition, honored by SRV.
