Eric Clapton said he was "in awe" of Stevie Ray. He said most guitarists, himself included, kind of have an idea of what they're going to do, but with Stevie Ray it was like the music just flowed out of his fingers without any thought. I mean look at his face, he's in another zone when he's playing. Such a tragedy that he died so young. I was lucky enough to see SRV and the band live. It was an outdoor venue so the intensity was a little less but it still was absolutely incredible.
I've noticed when Stevie is in the Zone something seems to take control of him from out in the ether he doesn't seem to be consciously aware of what he,s playing. I once read an article when Stevie said. When I start to think about what to play next I begin to loose it. That's the sign of a true musician playing from the heart
@@davidwalker5054 Was a white boy who paid his dues on the Austin Circuit back in the day. Paid with some of the greats when he was a teenager. You didn't have a spot on that stage 'thinking.' Anyway, that old blue scene was amazing back in that day. Still had the great Juke Joint bands. Was amazing where he was able to go with it. Not many in ones lifetime that have a natural capability, regardless of what that capability is. That is God Given, whatever god gave it to him. That crash took almost all of Eric Clapton's tour too. Just put that show together Stevie/Clapton. Was like the 3rd or 4th show of the tour. Was far more devastating than a lot of people realize. Stevie wasn't the only great taken that day. I even remember where I was standing when they announced it happened. I was buying strings at the local music store. Was only about 50 miles from where it happened. Can't remember the town or the name of the store, we had some miles to drive. I didn't pay attention other than guitar strings and Taco Bell.
Black guitar was originally Christopher cross's guitar no Stevie Ray just beat the hell out of it no sentimental value really he just loves playing that guitar
Minutes before this show he was reportedly coked out of his mind, to the point where his band mates didn’t really know is if he’d be able to play. As incredible as that sounds, what’s even more incredible is that once he kicked the drug habit, he became even better! Listen to his Austin City Limits show for a clean Stevie. ‘Tin Pan Alley’ with Johnny Copeland is a must too.
Tin Pan Alley with SRV and Johnny Copeland.....It really shows the vocal chops that SRV provided with COOOOlness of Johnny Copeland. Both Texas legends.......
1986, saw him live in a little club near the Mississippi River in Iowa. The stage was only 2 feet high and I stood directly in front of him, I could hear his hand squeak on the neck of the guitar I was so close. Aa night I will never forget as long as I live.
I had a similar experience in Fort Worth in a small basement club, but he played without a band. I actually had a table less than ten feet in front of him for the entire show. Mind blowing talent and skill.
That's so awesome! 🤘 I was so close his sweat dripped on me all night. 😄 I also brazenly touched his boot. Quality alligator. 🤭 He was dead two weeks later. 😪 Worst famous person death ever.
There are MANY greats in numerous genre. But there are NONE that are this great!! Not biased, just real bruh!!! RIP SRV!!! A legend till the end of humanity!! 💪🏼❤️💯🙌🏼🙌🏼✌🏼
I've had the absolute privilege of seeing SRV 6 times live. By far the GOAT. I watched him play with his band for one hour then when his band took a 20 minute break he continued on a stool with an acoustic guitar then back on his electric guitars for over an additional hour plus two encores...he never stopped. Phenomenal.
I’ve been a fan since the mid 80’s and have even seen him live TWICE so I have seen everything many times but watching you discover SRV performances is almost like me discovering him all over again, THANK YOU!! It’s you and others like you that keeps him and his music alive! I love watching a younger generation not just discover him for the first time but genuinely appreciate him and his craft. I read years ago that when he was married, his wife had said that he played guitar in his sleep!
That guitar there, they made replicas of that guitar. They sold for $10,000 a piece. No I can't afford one. This was in the '80s. I can't stop smiling over your reaction. He is the shit!
I love how his band just lets him play because they know how talented he is...that is respect. I am sure he returned the favor. Thank God they video taped this session.
It is soooo great watching someone see him and you can literally see their mind going...wait, what did I just see. No! He can't possibly be doing that!
Stevie really makes you feel blues and emotion in this one, he makes it cry, scream, weep etc. --- possibly the best slow blues guitar performance ever recorded.
This stellar performance---still the greatest I've ever seen and heard in regards to guitar playing (being absolutely LOADED with flawless technical precision, incredible feeling, massive tone, and remarkable showmanship)---is even more impressive when you understand that Stevie is doing this on an instrument with heavy-gauged strings and high action!! How he's able to bend, manipulate, and control them while playing from the front, let alone BEHIND THE BACK, is simply mind-boggling!! By the way, Stevie was nearly as kind and humble of a man as he was a fantastic guitarist!!
I agree with others, the entire El Mocambo show is awesome, Please consider checking the entire show out, I'm sure you won't be sorry for doing so, You have entered the Stevie Ray rabbit hole, it runs deep enjoy the journey my Friend, God Bless.
Stevie Ray was incredible. I saw him live in 87... I was totally straight and sober.... i left the show having an out of body experience. Instrumentals Lenny Riviera Paradise Vocal Life Without You Tin Pan Alley Couldn't Stand The Weather
This is 1983. Stevie Ray and Double Trouble established a loyal Texas following in the late 70's. Their career really took off after appearing at a Montreux Music Festival in 1982. David Bowie asked Stevie Ray to play lead guitar for several tracks on his album, "Let's Dance", including the title track, Modern Love and China Girl. RIP.
I love Stevie Ray's rendition of Mary had a little lamb. I partied with his cousin Robert Vaughan when he opened for my friends the BEAT FARMERS. Robert told me that Stevie Ray left him his house down in Austin that had his personal recording studio in the basement. I wish i could see that basement.
"LIFE WITHOUT YOU" LIVE, at the capitol theater, passaic, new jersey, 9/21/1985....its a reactor staple...imo the only SRV vid on youtube that can compete with this one for just amaze-balls, bananas crazy time, crazy shi t ....its bat shi t crazy too.
"Ain't Gone 'n' Give Up On Love" (live) "Leave My Girl Alone" (live) "Couldn't Stand The Weather" (live) "Mary Had A Little Lamb" (live) "Life Without You" (live) "Oreo Cookie Blues" (live) with one of his idols, Lonny Mack "Lovestruck Baby"/"Rude Mood" (live) "Riviera Paradise" (live) plus some of the official music videos... "Cold Shot" (hilarious!) "Superstition" (clever, with a cameo by legend Stevie Wonder) "The House Is Rockin'" (fun) You're welcome. Enjoyed your reaction very much. SRV is an experience to continue, so enjoy yourself. 💙🎶🎸🐐💙
What an incredible guitarist and singer Stevie Ray Vaughan was, Texas Flood is epic and yes, as you say, Anthony, he plays the guitar behind his back! I remember the first time I saw this on yt a while ago now, I couldn't believe it, I think my jaw hit the floor, just awesome! It's so sad to think that SRV tragically died in a helicopter crash in August 1990, at the age of 35. It's great that we can still enjoy this man's music and amazing guitar playing. Really enjoyed your reaction, Anthony, many thanks.
I highly recommend checking out more SRV. "Life Without You" live from the Capitol Theater, "Mary Had a Little Lamb" live from Austin 1989, "Hideaway/Rude Mood" love from Montreaux 1982 just to name a few. Love your reactions!!
Check out "Couldn't Stand The Weather" live at the Capital theater, NJ 1985..Stevie (and the boys) at their swaggering best!..BTW, watch out you don't get run over by the dude on keys, too! Good lord all mighty!
Owning a guitar that you made to look like that one does, is like a badge of honor to a dedicated musician. After all, that doesn’t happen over night. Years of mastering the art. ✌🏼😎🇺🇸
#1 is still owned by his brother which makes me so happy. He called that guitar his first wife. If I recall correctly, it was with him on the helicopter when it went down.
Indeed. This guitar was famous for being in rough shape as well. His tech Rene would literally have to strip wires of their covering and put the pieces of covering on the ball ends of the strings so the bridge didn't break them because it was so corroded and eaten up with sweat. Also, he had pretty high action on his guitars... Most guitarists wouldn't physically be able to play chords on it much less bends unless they ran bridge cables for strings and high action themselves. He didn't need a $5000 piece of furniture to get his point across and believe me, he could have had any guitar he wanted on the planet for free regardless of price
@neilpatrickhairless absolutely. I've heard the stories about number one in particular being built so many times. Him wearing out and bending the neck so badly it was hard or impossible to repair it sometimes without replacing or shaving it. Dude was a legend. So sad that he's gone. His music brings back some good memories of my dad and I cruising and listening to his stuff.
I’m 68 years old. I grew up in San Francisco and the music that came out of there was amazing. I love watching the reactions of people. Not so much experts , but regular folks who react honestly.
This version SRV "Life without you" m.th-cam.com/video/DQ4REYdCkTw/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUUc3J2IGxpZmUgd2l0aG91dCB5b3U%3D SRV swaps guitars while still playing, play behind back, with his teeth, breaks a tooth, keeps playing while looking for his tooth, and gives a legendary speech mid song!!! Must see!!
This was back when he was fighting his demons of drugs and alcohol. One of the reasons he is sweating so profusely, besides playing with every bit of his soul, is that he was borderline overdosing on cocaine. And yet, this is one of the best shows ever recorded! RIP to the GOAT.
That guitar is one of a kind, he called it the 'Frankenstrat'... and he always used super heavy gauge strings on it that other guitarists thought he was crazy for...
As the other comment said, Life Without You live @ the Capitol Theatre. Lenny & Little Wing live from this same El Mocambo performance are insane too. SRV is just in another league
PLEASE WATCH SRV & JOHNNY COPELAND PLAYING "TIN PAN ALLEY" 🔥 OR LOOK AT LITTLE SISTER cold blooded. Tin pan alley with johnny will make you lose your mind 🔥. I like your commentary
Thank you son, yeah definitely 1 of the best guitarist ever. More guitar focus please! Dire Straits live "Telegraph Road" and "Sultans of Swing" are excellent, Mark plays a mean guitar you should watch. AND Nightwish has released their new album maybe check out a couple of their singles from it. Watching for your next reaction!
Stevie was awesome . Often he would get a local band to open for him . A buddy of mines band did just that during this period . This club (El Mocambo )in Toronto Canada was a bit of a dive and not really that large a venue . I was always surprised at some of the acts it would get .The Rolling Stones recorded "Love you live" there . The energy in the crowd at an SRV show was unreal.
I saw him live open up for Robert Plant and he literally seduced me with his guitar and then he sang....smooth as butter 😂 You need to check out Stevie Ray Vaughn with Jeff Healey Little sister live. It will blow your mind...Great reaction and Peace out ✌️ ☮️ 🙏
Stevie was a prodigy and steeped himself in the study of blues guitar with mentors like Buddy Guy and Albert King. Theres video of him jamming with Albert too.
Great performance. SRV is an incredible artist. T-Bone Walker and JImi Hendrix played behind their back (and head) and with their teeth before Stevie. All extremely gifted although I personally put Hendrix first. I think it is hard to pick a #1 greatest guitarist as they are each unique. Sadly, Jimi and Stevie died tragically way too young, RIP. Thank you both for sharing your natural muscial gifts with the world❤Thank you Anthony for reacting to this one.
He's been gone for almost 35 years, and he still amazes people. Hell, he always will!❤
RIP to one of the greatest guitarists to walk the earth.🎸
We was 35 when he died too, we've lived his own lifetime since his passing without him 💔
This entire concert was Stevie going GOD mode
Life Without You by Stevie Ray Vaughn Live at the Capitol Theatre
Absolutely. Endearing SRV.
My absolute favorite by SRV.
Including donating a tooth, to Passaic, NJ.
Yeh like that one, you can argue he's overrated, not the best by modern day standards, but most modern rock lacks soul. Apples and oranges.
Eric Clapton said he was "in awe" of Stevie Ray. He said most guitarists, himself included, kind of have an idea of what they're going to do, but with Stevie Ray it was like the music just flowed out of his fingers without any thought.

:D I've often thought that SRV's guitar *played HIM* and not the other way around. (wink)
Man I was lucky enough to see Stevie Ray several times he was so freaking awesome they will never ever be anyone like him I miss him so much
Black guitar was originally Christopher cross's guitar no Stevie Ray just beat the hell out of it no sentimental value really he just loves playing that guitar
that is the Greatest guitar performance of all mankind
Imagine this is your first concert. The rest of your life chasing the high of this and never finding anything close. The goat!
SRV was the greatest blues player who ever lived. BB King called him the best blues player he ever heard or played with
Texas finest 👌 RIP my brother SRV
Minutes before this show he was reportedly coked out of his mind, to the point where his band mates didn’t really know is if he’d be able to play. As incredible as that sounds, what’s even more incredible is that once he kicked the drug habit, he became even better!

Watch the whole El Mocambo video. You'll be glad you did! He could do it all! GOAT
Tin Pan Alley with SRV and Johnny Copeland.....It really shows the vocal chops that SRV provided with COOOOlness of Johnny Copeland. Both Texas legends.......
THIS^ 💯💪🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🤯
Ive lived in Austin since 76. He's singing about a flood we had in 1980
1986, saw him live in a little club near the Mississippi River in Iowa. The stage was only 2 feet high and I stood directly in front of him, I could hear his hand squeak on the neck of the guitar I was so close. Aa night I will never forget as long as I live.
You are BLESSED!!

Bad ass
That's so awesome! 🤘 I was so close his sweat dripped on me all night. 😄 I also brazenly touched his boot. Quality alligator. 🤭 He was dead two weeks later. 😪 Worst famous person death ever.
“Tight Rope” is one of my favorites. 🇨🇱🔥🤘🏻😎
There are MANY greats in numerous genre. But there are NONE that are this great!! Not biased, just real bruh!!! RIP SRV!!! A legend till the end of humanity!! 💪🏼❤️💯🙌🏼🙌🏼✌🏼
You need to SEE him and his brother playing "Pipeline" . . . . . Guitar duet like you have NEVER seen before.
I've had the absolute privilege of seeing SRV 6 times live. By far the GOAT. I watched him play with his band for one hour then when his band took a 20 minute break he continued on a stool with an acoustic guitar then back on his electric guitars for over an additional hour plus two encores...he never stopped.

I am glad that you have discovered what we have known for over 40 years.
My son had "Life Without You" played at his memorial service for his wife when she passed away in Oct 22
That guitar there, they made replicas of that guitar. They sold for $10,000 a piece. No I can't afford one. This was in the '80s. I can't stop smiling over your reaction. He is the shit!
I love how his band just lets him play because they know how talented he is...that is respect. I am sure he returned the favor. Thank God they video taped this session.
When legends like this play, that guitar is talking to you telling a story. You can feel it.
I got to see him live in Dallas, Texas. I was 10’ away and on 3 hits of acid. Best show ever
Stevie should always be seen live. His versions of "Mary had a little lamb" "Lenny" " "Little wing" "Pride & Joy"... to name a few are all incredible.
Second to none this iconic performance at the El Macombo, a tiny little blues club located on Danforth Ave in Toronto, Canada
One of the greatest guitarists of all time.
It is soooo great watching someone see him and you can literally see their mind going...wait, what did I just see. No! He can't possibly be doing that!
Look At Little Sister with Johnny Copeland Live at Montreux.
Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland,❤is one of Stevie Ray Best performance ❤❤❤ Johnny Copeland is another Goat, Stevie is the Goat❤
This is fiyuh af too. My fav is when JC gets to the mic like he about to sing….and says phuq it and shreds the 6!!! GANGSTA AF!!! Two legends fo sho!!
Sure is
I was lucky enough to see Stevie Ray’s last performance. He was absolutely amazing! RIP
Stevie really makes you feel blues and emotion in this one, he makes it cry, scream, weep etc. --- possibly the best slow blues guitar performance ever recorded.
RIP sweet Stevie Ray. ❤
This is the first time I have listened , to you , listening to SRV , he was amazing!

That guitar is known as his "#1". He ran 13 Gage strings and still would break them 😮😮😮

SRV swaps guitars while still playing, play behind back, with his teeth, breaks a tooth, keeps playing while looking for his tooth, and gives a legendary speech mid song!!!
Must see!!
goat suggestion, but....spoiler alert
I had the pleasure of seeing him and Double Trouble luv in 1987. What an incredible show !!
Amazing
This was back when he was fighting his demons of drugs and alcohol. One of the reasons he is sweating so profusely, besides playing with every bit of his soul, is that he was borderline overdosing on cocaine. And yet, this is one of the best shows ever recorded! RIP to the GOAT.
He eventually cleaned up and was still the baddest !
Chill bumps everytime I watch him!
That guitar is one of a kind, he called it the 'Frankenstrat'... and he always used super heavy gauge strings on it that other guitarists thought he was crazy for...
Frankenstrat belonged to Eddie Van Halen. This guitar is known as Number One.
@@truckr74 - you're right... that was an epic brain fart :P both were 'partscasters'
El Mocambo was 1983 after Texas Flood album was released. The Voodoo Child video you and Black Pegasus watched was Austin 1989.
Do you know the reason Stevie plays behind his back? Because he can! RIP SRV!!!
Oh yeah he plays behind his head and with his teeth❤
Watching your facial expressions is hilarious! SRV (RIP) has that effect on people.
He's doing those bends on 12 gauge strings so his finger strength must have been incredible.
13's ...& yes, ape strength
8 songs on his first album were done in one take.
I Ain't Gone 'N Give Up On Love live at Capitol Theater 1985 is his best vocal performance IMHO.
Definition of GOAT status - Stevie Ray Vaughan
As the other comment said, Life Without You live @ the Capitol Theatre. Lenny & Little Wing live from this same El Mocambo performance are insane too. SRV is just in another league
PLEASE WATCH SRV & JOHNNY COPELAND PLAYING "TIN PAN ALLEY" 🔥 OR LOOK AT LITTLE SISTER cold blooded. Tin pan alley with johnny will make you lose your mind 🔥. I like your commentary
This^……amazing stuff for sho!!!
Thank you son, yeah definitely 1 of the best guitarist ever. More guitar focus please!

"Life without you",Capitol Theatre,1985
G.O.A.T !! and sorely missed !! Great reaction too...
Stevie Ray live on the Arsenal Hall show, outstanding! Taped as his introduction into Hollywood types
I saw him live open up for Robert Plant and he literally seduced me with his guitar and then he sang....smooth as butter 😂 You need to check out Stevie Ray Vaughn with Jeff Healey Little sister live. It will blow your mind...Great reaction and Peace out ✌️ ☮️ 🙏
Another amazing track of his in this same vein is the live version of You Better Leave My Little Girl Alone
"Riviera Paradise" - - - "Lenny" - - - "Little Wing" - - - You're welcome . . . . .
Yeah, what he said
Look at Little Sister from Austin City Limits 1989
Saw him live a few times.,Unbelievable shows!
Number 1 is the most iconic guitar 🎸 in rock and roll history its priceless !!
He was absolutely amazing!
Everyone remembers the first time they witness this performance ❤
Oh my SRV❤❤
Riviera Paradise, Mary Had a Little Lamb, Tightrope, Crossfire, Couldn't Stand The Weather. Anything from the 1989 Austin City Limits show.
Clapton once remarked how Stevie inspired many newbies to pick up a guitar, and many experienced guitarists to hang up theirs.
Stevie was a prodigy and steeped himself in the study of blues guitar with mentors like Buddy Guy and Albert King. Theres video of him jamming with Albert too.
Look up pictures of his finger tips after a performance
Stevie was known for singing with his guitar. He always had few words in every song but always let his guitar get the message of his music out
Great performance. SRV is an incredible artist. T-Bone Walker and JImi Hendrix played behind their back (and head) and with their teeth before Stevie. All extremely gifted although I personally put Hendrix first. I think it is hard to pick a #1 greatest guitarist as they are each unique. Sadly, Jimi and Stevie died tragically way too young, RIP. Thank you both for sharing your natural muscial gifts with the world❤Thank you Anthony for reacting to this one.
SRV and Johnny Copeland Tin Pan Alley great classic blues performance
