Let's not forget that SRV isn't just an awesome lead guitarist but a phenomenal rhythm guitarist as well...his fills of rhythm fill those important gaps and moments which makes a 3 piece band sound alot fuller. My man...my hero...THE G.O.A.T!
that is the best description of SRV's fashion I have ever heard. What blows my mind besides SRV himself are Chris Layton on drums and the incredible Tommy Shannon on bass. Later with the addition of Reese Wynans on keyboards, they turned a great band into a God Level band. Tommy is on my Mount Rushmore of Bass players with Marcus Miller, Rob Trujillo and Cliff Burton (RIP Cliff). Above them all though is Jaco Pistorious who was a stone cold killer on bass.
This is my favourite video of SRV. He's live at the El Mocambo in Toronto Canada. Next in line is Look At Little Sister, in which Stevie breaks a string. His guitar swap is seamless, facilitated by absolutely top-notch stage hands.
Greetings from flooded Tarrant County. I like how Stevie was in full stank face mode while Chris and Tommy stayed chill. After this performance the guitar had to have a cigarette and a paternity test.
SRV ~ 🎸🐐 THE goat of all goats You just witnessed one of the greatest guitar performances ever caught on film... regardless of genre. **Tightrope at Austin City Limits 1989**
Was a 17 year old at that show and hooked ever after till the last show he did in upstate NY two weeks before he was killed. What a loss of an amazing guitarist. RIP SRV.
I remember the first time I saw this performance. I'll never be the same. After this, I couldn't get enough. It just changed everything. Great reaction to greatness unfolding before your eyes. If ever a man was put on this Earth to play guitar, this is the being. Human or Alien? ☮️
Awesome Awesome reaction my man 💯💯%🔥🔥🔥...he really was a special artist wasnt he..so much music out of one song from 3 people...was privileged enough to see him Live in 1985 here in New Zealand..can still remember every lick on his guitar from every song..im 54 yrs old now and will never forget seeing this guitar God. 👌💝🤙💞🤘💕.
According to Tommy Shannon's book (bassist) this was Stevie's hottest performance on tape. This was in 1983 and a couple years before his sobriety. An hour before the show, he had to be roused from a "cocaine induced coma" by medical professionals. After 45 minutes of IV fluids and vitamins, he came too. Hence the more than extra sweat and notes in this particular show.
I have always loved Stevie Ray's live performances. I saw him in concert on his "Couldn't Stand the Weather" world tour in Nov 1984 in Brisbane, Queensland. His band was one of the loudest 3-piece bands I have ever heard. So good. As a Queenslander, I can totally relate to terrible floods especially in the last decade.
Greetings from San Antonio, my fellow Texan and SRV fan. I've said the same thing many times. Loved their music from day one, but after the live performance videos started coming out, I started to understand just how badass he was. He was asked in an interview "where do you buy your clothes?" Without missing a beat, (as usual) Stevie said, "oh mainly at truck stops" Enjoy your reactions to him.
I enjoyed you explaining the flood experience you've had..we don't get that much in upstate new york. I just subscribed cause of your love for SRV..so how about reacting to: Life Without You Ain't Gon Give Up On Love Change It all live at The Capitol Theatre!!! 💞✌️
He has NEVER played the SAME song the SAME WAY LIVE EVER... you can watch ANYTHING of Stevie Ray Vaughan's Live Concerts Every One Are Different But the Same SONGS 🎸🎸🎸 You said it Perfectly,but I'm just going to add one word to it... TEXAS BAD ASS!!!
hey man how is your life, well anyway i heard that when SRV played sometimes the tip of his fingers would rip open so he would put super glue on them. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. ( JESUS LIVES )🤯🤠🥳✌
I found out from watching other TH-camrs that the special kind of face you're talking about that a musician makes while playing is called "stank face."
I don't know guitars, but I watched a video of a guy trying to string a stock guitar of the same type Stevie played and it started pulling the spring mechanism out of the back of the guitar. I can't recall the exact strings, but I know Stevie used a mix of 13's and I believe a 9 on the highest note string.
"IF" my research (and memory - yes I'm that old) are correct....The publicly purchasable video was released in '85 - nut the performance was the middle of '84 while on the supporting tour for the album, which as you stated was released in '83.... "Cheers"...
A Texas treasure.....
Indeed! Makes me so proud!
His drummer Chris Layton said that the way he was dressed onstage was the way he dressed all the time.
A lot of us know that as 'stank face'.
Yes Sir that Son of Texas did y'all proud.
Stevie's brain and heart were in his hands, leaving his face free to dance to the music
Stevie was otherworldly.

Best slow blues guitar performance ever recorded, period. I saw him play live twice ill never forget it.
Still waiting for Jeff Healey and Stevie Ray Vaughan "Look at Little Sister ". It'll change your life. Makes you feel good to witness it! 🥳💯👌
Coming soon!😃
Stevie Ray Vaughan discovered JEFF HEALEY'..New he was special...And He was!!!
I'm convinced music was Stevie's preferred language.
Love Stevie Ray, I saw him live in Sydney Australia 1986 memories for a lifetime.
SRV is the King, many come close. Soooo close but none are better than Stevie.

The slow down always reminds me of the storm almost stopping but it was only a lul, then all hell breaks loose again.
Watching The G O A T from London :}
hes a bad man. rip

BB King said that when he (BB) played his guitar talked in sentences but SRV's guitar spoke in paragraphs.
Nice! That's a hell of a compliment!
Nice shout out to the humidity and floods.! Be safe out there brah! 😎
🐐 🎸!
This is a wonderful reaction & I especially liked that a Texan is on TH-cam. I found your comments to be thoughtful and on point. Good job.

Shout out to the comment about the guage of strings!
Nice! 👍😁😎
There's a great video of Stevie playing the double neck guitar to pipeline with. his brotherJimmy. It's really amazing. Jimmy plays behind Stevie.

I could have walked down the street to the Elmo, that night, but I had no idea who he was.
Great reaction 👍
Thank you! Great song!
Great video.

🤣 I can't decide which one I like better!

Thank you for the reaction brother, cheers from El Paso🤘
