I'm sitting here wondering how many SRV fans are smirking along with me early in the video. We're all thinking, just you wait dude, just wait
One of the nicest guys. I have ever known RIP
Same lol
Yep...I kept thinking, "JUST WAIT".
If like guitar bad boys watch joe satriani.... Stevie vai.... John petrucci... dueling gutiars
Yaaasssss 😂
It always amazes me how many people have never heard of Stevie before. And while it's certainly a matter of opinion, in my eyes he was unquestionably the greatest guitarist that ever lived---AND was a really sweet and humble guy. God bless his legacy!
you are correct, Alan Berg-SRV is the GOAT!
Hopefully you’ve seen his video with Albert King, in which is humbleness is blatantly obvious!
For sure brother.
I always wonder what Planet they are from.
@@mesaeddie HAHA obviously not this one
For context, this is a dude that jammed so hard both David Bowie and Elton John heard him on the radio and went "Holy shit... I must know the name of that man."
This guy can play is a major understatement
Best who ever lived right there 🐐
THE GREATEST GUITARIST WHO EVER LIVED!! That's what you just watched!!
Watch/listen to anything & everything you can get your hand's on that Stevie Ray Vaughan ever played!! You will never be disappointed!! Absolutely FABULOUS!! Every note, every time!- R. I. P. - S. R. V. He is not gone, he is just away!!!
One of the best. Ever.
Crazy guitar skills that will never be matched.
He's known as the GOAT for a reason. Stevie's not just a good guitarist - he's one of the best of all time - the bar many of today's guitarists reach for. Love watching this!
So it's NOT in reference to his hygiene then.
💗 💖 💘 💝 💟 ☮️
One of the best to ever live
🤠 Greetings from Texas! That's our angel - SRV!!! 👍👼😇🎸🎸🎸
Hello Texas! (I loved Grape Vines when I visited)
Ditto @John English!!🤠 👋🏼 This was a fun reaction, huh!? I just so wish EVERYONE could have heard him in person!! Good to see you again!😉😎
@@dinahgray5396 🤠 You too! 😎 Hope things are going well. I often tell people that seeing Stevie perform live was like a religious experience, lol. 😂🎸🎸🎸
He's been gone thirty one years today. RIP Stevie.
@@cra-craintenn6327 🤠 It sure doesn't seem like 31 years Cra-Cra. Rest In Peace Stevie. 🎸💔
Absolutely AMAZING this guy is
You know...he was known to super glue his callouses back on when he stripped it off his finger. _No..seriously._
"According to Stevie’s guitar technician, René Martinez he most often played GHS Nickel Rockers (and sometimes Boomers) in the following gauges:
.013 - .015 - .019p - .028 - .038 - .058
As discussed in point 2, these aren’t typical .013s-they’re lighter on the top end and a bit heavier on the bottom end. This made them easier to bend, while still giving him a hot and heavy tone when he played rhythm.
Now does this mean that if you string up your strat with these gauges you’re going to sound like SRV overnight? Probably not. As with most guitarists, the secret to tone often lies in the fingers."
- SRV Archive
He is a talent that shows up nay once in a lifetime….
Congratulations, you just discovered the BEST Guitarist that ever walked the planet!
Stevie could have taught Eddie a few tricks
@@MikeHart72 Thats right Mike
That's just good ol' TEXAS 🇨🇱 blues! Stevie Ray was the 🐐!🔥🔥🔥💯😁❤✌
Welcome to Stevie land . STRAP IN , HOLD ON .....your in for it now !!!!!! He is self taught , could not read music . And IS the BEST guitar player of ALL TIME !!! He never played a piece the same way twice , So every time is like the first time . Rest in piece brother .
"Self taught", "could not read music", "never played a piece the same way twice"... Defining a gift right there.
HIs technique was brilliant, his bends was pitch perfect when they needed to be, blue when they needed to be, never missed a beat, he could shread, and still tons of feeling. I miss him so.
He threw the behind the back thing in just to see if he could dazzle the crowd while he strangled his guitar with it's own strings... Pure Talent RIP Stevie Ray.
The Greatest Guitarist To Ever Walk This Planet..R.I.P. Stevie..Thanks For All You Gave Us..Gone But Definitely Not Forgotten.
Only Jimi sits on the throne, S.R. is next to him for sure!
SRV is the definition of SWAG and GOAT.
Stevie is and always will be THE G.O.A.T. Hands down!
I live for watching reaction channels do "Texas Flood" just for that moment when SRV plays behind his back. Never disappoints (both SRV and the reactor). "Is this real?" was pretty much my reaction the first time I saw him do this live. Was so lucky I got to see him in concert a few times. RIP to the GOAT SRV!
Stevie Ray is a Texas boy, saw him several times live, and we claim him as a Texas son, Texas treasure! Great reaction brother!
I was blessed to have seen this man twice before he died. I was at his last show at Alpine Valley the night his helicopter crashed. People who have just now became aware of his absolute greatness ask why the crowds that Stevie played for didn't seem to be enjoying the performances but believe me were were in total amazement....we couldn't believe what we were witnessing...and what it FELT like to hear that in person.
Next thing you need to see is him playing "Voodoo Child", specifically the video that's live in Austin 1989. Good clear footage. You'll know it's the right one if he's dressed in black.
Best Blues guitarist ever imo and, by all accounts, one of the kindest, most humble human beings you'd ever want to meet. We lost something special when we lost him, in more ways than one.
Stevie Ray & his music are a gift. So glad you're discovering him.💙
I like the 87 Nashville one with the feather cap, man I’d loved to have seen this man live!
Tightrope from that same set is just as amazing.
@@zimvader25 agreed...love that song!!!
I am actually in tears here.....the guitar was part of him....an extension of him.
The music flowed through him.
He was taken from us way too soon.
R.I.P. Stevie Ray
Stevie Ray was asked "what do you want to play tonight?? Blues? Blues Rock? Electric Blues? Texas Blues" ?? Stevie then responded "yes"
His favorite guitar, the worn brown Strat, he calls Number One. He's also calls it his wife, and said it doesn't scream at him, it screams for him.
The GOAT. There WILL NEVER be another as good. I love when he goes behind the back and to see the new listeners jaws drop open in amazement.
I've been watching lots of these reactions to Stevie's Texas Flood performance for years and I see everybody in disbelief when he chucks the guitar behind his back and you all get the same stare and gobsmacked look as you watch the master do his thing. It happens to everyone, and it makes me feel proud and excited watching people watch the master for the first time, I got the same feeling 30 years ago when I first saw this gig....welcome to the club, now your journey to Stevie's greatness starts, great vid
He was equally awesome on every album! The world lost a treasure!
Back in the 70s I was fortunate to have been sitting in a bar in Austin where various local musicians would drop in and jam. On this particular night a young Stevie Ray strolled in and began to play. I knew right then that he was a super star. RIP Stevie Ray.
Considered by many, including myself, to be the best ever! Winner of a slew of awards, a bunch of grammys, first white person to be inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame & voted into the Rock and Roll Hall Fame by over 18 million people. Major influence to a whole generation of top guitarists. Admired & idolized by all the greats that came before. Referred to as legendary by the likes of Albert King, Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, B. B. King & anybody else you can think of. Beat drugs & booze and helped countless others to do the same. A great musician & a good soul. Now playing in heaven with the angels. Killed in a chopper crash in late August, 1990 leaving a concert. Such a tragedy for the world! He was poised on the brink of superstardom.
I got to see him preform in person, awesomeness at it's greatest
So how many people are sitting watching this about half way through, before he plays behind his back, watching you freak out over Stevies playing, saying "And wait there is more!"?
RIP Stevie, we all miss you terribly :(
Your face when he put it behind his back 😂😂😂😂 priceless
Little wing...his brother said he goes into a light trance, usually from the first lick, but always during first song, and holds the zone until it's over. Music comes through him.
I loved your reaction, that's exactly how I reacted when I first saw it. Jaw dropped, total shock, all the way through! Now I gotta catch a Texas Flood reaction video at least once a day. It's like spreading the gospel! GOAT! No exception.
I honestly believe that he does NOT have one song/performance that is not inspiring and entertaining to watch and listen to without praising him. I envy your position that you’re about to witness every performance for the first time, but honestly every video I’ve seen of him I’ve watched dozens of times and I can say I never get tired of watching them. In fact, they only get more like able the more you watch them. I could recommend one video, but really
ANY that you watch is fire!! One of my favorites is “Mary Had A Little Lamb live in Austin “ you get to also watch one of the top keyboardist in Reese Wynans!! Put magic.
The Greatest Live Guitar Performance of all Time!!
No one can doubt that Stevie did what he was born to do.
Sing+playing the quitar like a briliant lunatic+ behinde back.Super heavy even for greatest players.RIP
Welcome to the wonderful world of Stevie Ray Vaughan
Reactions to this performance are the best thing on the Internet. 😎
Greatest live performance of all Time!
D...So Glad You Discovered STEVIE..He IS The GOAT..Always Thought, If I Could Be An Inanimate Object, I Would Be His Guitar, I Can Only Imagine.....ENJOY This New Journey.....
In my opinion, this is the greatest live guitar performance of all time. Not to mention he can sing!
You've now been exposed to THE guitar GOAT. There is no one that comes close and probably never will be. A once in a millennium talent!
I knew Stevie WHERE THE HELL DOES GOAT FIT? HA HA HA. another joker...😎
There is a video I saw a few years ago of this little boy not sure of his age, but he plays like SRV. I was in shock when I saw him. Please try and find him he will blow your mind. I’ve tried and can’t find it anymore.
SRV puts his best into every performance. He is my favorite. This song is a blues standard in Texas that was originally recorded in 1958 by Larry Davis. Stevie makes it his own. Oh and his last name is like "lawn" with a "v". Thanks for the reaction.
I saw him play twice in the 80's and yes, he really was that great. Best blues guitar performance ever recorded.
That’s the GOAT you just watched. There are plenty greats but it’s downhill from here.
Missed him by a few months...😢 He is a direct Channel from god that gave this profound guitarists'guitarist his gifts and he shared it with ALL of us! Can I get an Amen, shalom, shaloom, namaste? ✌️💜🎶🎸
Many think this was the best slow blues performance ever recorded.
Slow? LOL
@@fretless05 OK I see your point - lol
There is a reason he was the GOAT! I had the privilege to see him 3X!
There's nothing more ENTERTAINING than watching someone discover SRV FOR THE FIRST TIME .
When you said I like good guitarists before the vid all I could do was 😆 and 🙂. Welcome to the world of SRV
You will NEVER BE DISAPPOINTED WATCHING HIM EVER!!!!! EVERYTHING YOU WATCH YOU WILL LOVE!!! HE WILL HAVE YOU IN STEVIE'S WORLD!!!
Watching a new generation of young people discover SRV and his mastery of the guitar has become my favorite pastime lately. They cant believe it. 😂
The lead guitarist in my cover band showed me the whole
“ live at Elmacombo “ video in like 1999, 2000…. The coke and road schedule kinda blur things, but I remember actually almost crying in joy in my amazement of the talent God can place upon a man, the first time I saw that live performance.
Best S.R.V. Texas flood reaction so far an I watch all of them. God bless you sir.
You just watched the man sitting on the throne of the guitar gods. Once in a lifetime guitar player.
He was one of the best that the world had to offer..
Definitely Greatest of all Time stuff. Blues/Rock. Many of the great blues guitarist, Evan Clapton thought he was the best. RIP SVR
Stevie Ray -a man possessed...a true classic...Ty man for the share
Welcome to the world of Mr Stevie Ray Vaughn!!!
"Whoa, what the f..k did I just watch"
one of the finest blues oriented guitarists ever. we lost him too soon
RIP SRV
10/3/54 - 8/27/90
Stevie didn't PLAY guitar, he MADE LOVE to it !
The bad thing about being a Stevie Ray fan is that after hearing and seeing him play, no other guitar player, no matter how good, will be able to play like he did. There's just no that has ever come close
Joanne Shaw Taylor comes close:th-cam.com/video/FR37PpaNr3I/w-d-xo.html
The guitar was still singing and playing even after he set it down. Stevie was one of a kind and was way before his time. Wish he was still here with us still. R.I.P Stevie Ray Vaughan
Stevie writes the story and then possesses the guitar to tell that story 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The best thing about srv reactions is that everyone is TOTALLY GOBSMACKED even BEFORE he even puts the guitar BEHIND his back, LOL....I love it so, great reaction...I’m now subbed
his guitar was another appendage to him ! BLISTERING!
I own that video, live at the El Macambo. Blows me away every time I watch it and I have had it for years. Awesome rhythm section too.
love your reaction to Stevie Ray Vaughan he is the goat he is a legend in Texas and especially in Dallas Texas God just lent him to us for a minute then he said hey that's enough come on back. RIP. you should watch the documentary on him and his brother also plays and he's in the documentary also. you will love it because you'll learn why he's so good.❤️💯👍🏽👏🏽
This comes from the glory days of Texas music when it was still filled with all kinds of soul. Stevie is to Texas what B.B. King is to the rest of the world. As a life-long Austinite I can sadly admit that you won't find music like this too often in Austin nowadays.
I was blessed to see him in person
I saw this concert on HBO back in 1983. I was 26 years old at the time...Stevie Ray Vaughan still dropping Jaws 38 years later
I'm 75 years old. I have only been listening to Stevie Ray Vaughan for about 8 years.. and from the very beginning I noticed that he almost always has his favorite old guitar with him ...then at first it dawned on me that his old guitar must be Possessed....or that he himself was Possessed AND THEN I realized that to be that good They must BOTH be Possessed and it is a miracle that they found each other to Create these Magical Sounds together !
S R V CONSIDERED THAT OLD GITUAR HIS FIRST LADY AND WIFE, HE PLAYED WITH 13 GUAGE STRINGS AND THE GITUAR HAD TO HAVE NEW FRETS AND A BRIDGE AND A NEW NECK REPLACED,
HIS FINGERS AND HANDS WERE SO STRONG TO BEND THE STRINGS AND PLAY WITH ONE HAND.
Every reaction video for this song is the same. People are stupefied by his supernatural skill. I love it.
The GOAT! Lost him too soon. 😢
"I've said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed."
B. B. King
And to think he did that with such high action and thicker strings is amazing to me. That may have been the first time he played that song behind his back. Not sure. But he just decided to try it. An amazing man. RIP Stevie.
Check out his performance of “Voodoo Child” from the same venue, El Mocambo. Just straight up, Mozart on an electric guitar brilliance. He was made to play guitar and thankfully for us all, we got to see him do so for his short life..
That rhythm section is no joke
Stevie is absolutely the very best ever!!
Serious prodigy …..I think he is the best to ever do it ….miss him ….. he was so unbelievably original when he came out I literally was an awe ❤️
When you said “This is gonna be good”
all I could think was you sir are a master of understatement 😀
Welcome to SRV greatness
You should have seen your face when he threw his guitar around to his back. It was priceless! I was privileged to see this genius 3 times. Can you imagine seeing him in person? It was an experience to day the least. 😎
Sadly we lost in on August 27,2990 in a helicopter crash at the age of 35 he had so many great songs and videos I don’t think you could find a bad one .
Yeah that guitar was just an extension of his soul. Wouldn’t even have to look at what he is playing, he just does it. One of the greatest to ever live. SRV!!!
Another great video with SRV and blind guitarist Jeff Healey - "Look at Little Sister".
Greatest guitarist to walk the earth!
Stevie Ray is and always will be the king rest in peace SRV I love you
Stevie Ray Vaughan was a guitar 🎸beast. He played with 13 gauge strings which tore up his fingertips. When his callouses would come off, he'd just Super Glue them back on and keep playing. He never played a song the same way twice. A lot of his sweating back then was due to mass quantities of cocaine. He got clean awhile before he was killed. I honestly thought his drugged out performances were stellar. We love him and miss him here in Texas. RIP Stevie Ray ❤
Holy mackerel indeed!! I've watched that one LOTS of times.
Stevie is the Pride And Joy of Texas. I grew up there and personally I've always been an outsider and thought I really disliked everything about my state and heritage when I was younger. But when I see Stevie I see all the best attributes of the Texas spirit embodied. There's no pretense, only feeling, and an incomprehensible strength that's almost too much for most people.
Stevie once said something that is very telling. if I start to think about what I'm playing i start to lose it. That's the sign of a true musician
Love it !! Me too... and I've watched it hundreds of times !! SRV is sorely missed.
Now you get it brother! Welcome to the family!
Agreed! Everyone on the planet needs to see this!!!
The best there ever was....the best there will ever be. Miss the brother 😪
You just witnessed greatness in one huge dose, brother!!!
Great reaction! Love to see people witness SRV for the 1st time, never gets old!
Losing Stevie was such a tremendous loss to the music community not to mention his fans and of course to his family, friends and those closest to him. As you can see by the comments his fans feel very emotional about him....
a terrible shame indeed
