You don’t “just” watch Stevie Ray.. you EXPERIENCE Stevie Ray.
RIP Stevie!
Stevie Ray Vaughan rip off robin trower th-cam.com/video/1e_xK35C1Yg/w-d-xo.html
Facts. .....
I agree with you 100 percent
The pride of Texas! He is the greatest guitarist to grace this earth! Such a shame he died so soon.
You told truth!
He's 2nd just behind Jimi for me, followed by David Gilmour. And yes he makes me proud to be from Texas! My mom used to go see him in Austin way back when he was still up and coming, at little hole in the wall clubs right up next to the stage! So jealous lol
@@mdog86 Stevie, David, Jimi, but yes. The only folks in this conversation.
Just 3 guys, No 1/2 naked girls, No dirty Lyrics, No crazy Electronica. Just pure Blues
Squeeze my lemon 🍋
Till the juice run down my leg😂
Half those old blues songs are still ate up with innuendos
Sex and drugs have always been a ticket to the muses
When SRV gets done with this song, the guitar needs a cigarette.
That's some funny shit!
Hell, what he did is illegal in 18 states.
@@andrewlayton9760 There is a joke here somewhere about a g-string.
When Stevie goes to sleep he doesn't dream of the guitar, when the guitar goes to sleep it dreams of Stevie.
Gentlemen, you have just witnessed the best that has ever been.
Period.
Stevie's main influence was , Bootsie Collins and George Clinton! Lol Everybody has a LITTLE LIGHT UNDER THE SUN!
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE BEST , is all Subject TO OPINION . Plus a time and place for all Music! JEFF BECK AIN'T TO BAD! AND WHAT ABOUT GOD, ( ERIC CLAPTON) LOL .
@@Drum1965 that is the most ridiculous comment in this thread.
Give a listen to Machine Gun by Jimi Hendrix the live video now that is epic
@@Drum1965 you are 100% right we all have our favorites and that is what makes them the best for us
My top 5 are Hendrix , Page , Iommi ,Stevie Ray and Angus Young
It was a sad day when word came of Stevie’s death. But it is so nice to see new generations discover his music. These two guys genuinely appreciate his greatness.
💯
I remember that day. It sucked.
I cried that day. Still cry when I see him play.
After seeing him 4 times my only thoughts were when can I see him again. He was everything you wanted from a guitarist but hadn't realized was missing prior to hearing him. If you were familiar with SRV, you remember where you were when you heard he was gone.
I’m 48 and playing drums my entire life. I’ve heard all the music there is to hear, from jazz to death metal and to infinity and beyond. To this day, this performance will bring tears to my eyes every single time. He was the closest thing possible to the expression of life, through music. It’s hard to explain. I mourn the loss of his music any time I watch that video and I know I will not see his equal again in my lifetime. Always Mixed emotions when i listen to his music. I’ll leave it at that.
Stevie was born in Dallas and played in clubs there as a young teenager, then moved to Austin in the early seventies and continued his rise as an incredible guitarist and bluesman. He attained international fame starting in the early eighties and became, to many folks, the greatest guitarist of all time---an opinion I happen to hold to. He kicked a horrendous addiction to cocaine and alcohol in late '86 and lived clean, sober and happy for the last four years of his life. He was killed in a helicopter crash in Wisconsin after his last gig in 1990. Despite his swag on stage, he was tremendously humble off stage and a man of true kindness. There really should be a movie made about him because he left a tremendous legacy.
You can see what a gentleman
he was when he speaks of his
wife before playing “ Lenny “
Oak Cliff Texas. Native. RIP.
SRV returned to Dallas when he got clean and was living here. He's buried at Laurel Land -- you can find the coordinates to his grave on Google Maps for those that want to pay respect. He also played guitar on David Bowie's "Let's Dance" album. FUN FACT: Bowie rehearsed for his Let's Dance tour here in Dallas at the Studios at Las Colinas...and if you think of the boxer's stance he had on the cover of that album, Bowie was taking boxing lessons over in Oak Cliff to physically prep for the tour. SRV was to go on that tour but turned it down so he could focus on his own album.
@@rainedevries3451 Yep, been to Laurel Land a few times to pay my respects.
He plays better behind his back than some other members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame can play normally.
SRV is my favorite guitarist of all time. No one could play like THAT. 🔥🔥🔥
He was one of the greatest Texans to walk this earth! A true legend
SRV ~ 🎸🐐 THE goat of all goats
Stevie came on the scene in 1983 when synthesizers, hair bands, and parachute pants ruled the airwaves. He completely took everyone by force! In doing so, he single-handedly "rescued" blues from almost complete obscurity. Elder bluesmen, such as BB King, Albert King, Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, John Lee Hooker, etc, etc ALL gave Stevie credit for them selling more albums and playing bigger venues, instead of the shithole dives they had been playing. When Stevie hit mainstream, he told everyone to check out the elder bluesmen, and that's why they credit Stevie for "rescuing" blues. In fact, Buddy Guy was recently quoted as saying, "Stevie did for blues what MJ did for basketball." Stevie loved all his blues heroes, and they loved him right back!
Stevie battled serious drug and alcohol addiction until he got clean and sober in late 1986. He lived the rest of his life trying to help others break addiction until his death in 1990 when he was killed in a helicopter crash after a concert with Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, Jimmie Vaughan (his older brother), and Robert Cray.
The dude was a kind, humble soul and truly a gift from the Heavens.
**Life Without You at Capitol Theater **
**Anything from the 1989 Austin City Limits performance**
Bonnie Raitt cut her teeth on the Blues & toured with Buddy Guy, she said ( paraphrased ) " I've never seen anyone tear into the Blues with so much passion and talent...And when he got clean & sober, he burned a hole in the sun...He was that Good..."
Amen. Beautifully put and spot on! ❤ Donna G
I did see him wear parachute pant too though! LOL
@@Prone2Thrill 🤣
Well said. But I disagree with Buddy Guy. It was Larry Bird that was credited with saving basketball. MJ kept the revival going, but it started with Larry. That's generally an accepted fact among those fluent in basketball history.
You guys just witnessed the greatest live guitar performance ever recorded, IMO. Thanks for the reaction.
If I ever get a time machine, this is a stop.
man for sure, happiest day of my life@@ckalinwi
Yes, sir...and the Voodoo Child live...IMHO
He's the GOAT! Even older blues players have mad respect for his skill.
Incredible talent on the guitar (from Texas). He had struggles early on with alcohol and drugs, but cleaned up and got sober. Sang a song about it called Life by the Drop. Then tragically died in a helicopter crash in 1990. Horrible loss to the blues community and musical world. He was so good, that when Eric Clapton heard him on the radio for the first time, he pulled over his car so he could listen to the song. Never be another like him
I heard an interview with a studio owner. He said he’d never seen the reaction from his technicians before like when Stevie came in. He said they unconsciously got up out of their chairs and were almost pressing their faces into the glass like they were trying to soak in his sound. It blew his mind.
Stevie Ray Vaughan is a demi god here in Texas. We even have a statue of him in Austin. He freestyles every song he's ever played. Never played a song the same way twice. He literally played both lead and rhythm guitar parts at the same time. He would wear calluses on his fingers and would Super Glue them back on when they'd fall off. He plays "Life Without You " with his teeth. He literally knocks a tooth out on stage, casually looks around for it, doesn't see it, and keeps on playing without a glitch. You can see him tell his keyboard player, "it's gone",as he laughs and finishes the song. He breaks a string performing "Look at Little Sister ", literally keeps playing without the string, switches guitars in the middle of a chord, and never misses a beat. You won't find a better guitarist than Stevie Ray. Treat yourselves and listen to everything he ever recorded. 👌💯
Yep, Mini - especially love "Little Sister" with the broken string.. if you heard it without seeing it, you'd never know... (also, damn! Reese Wynans on the keys!)
Hometown Hero!! Cheers, from Austin 🤘
@@TizAtx Thanks, La TIDa - cheers from Wisconsin... sad that we are most famous for his end, rather than his start...
He is a GOD to anyone who loves and appreciates guitar
I saw SRV in Dallas a couple months before the crash. B.B. King was on stage with him and Joe Cocker was singing. The best I ever saw
I always fight back tears when I hear him play. What a gift to the world.
So glad you guys enjoyed Stevie Ray. He was a real gem and losing him so soon will sting forever. We love ya, Stevie!❤❤
That was a BAD MAN right there. A freaking wizard. The best I have ever seen. There is a reason all of the great blues artists of the day wanted to collaborate with him.
Thank you for appreciating Stevie! RIP SRV.
So many great songs waiting for you down the rabbit hole. I suggest just listening to the entire El Mocambo concert. You won’t be disappointed.
Yes, the whole show was amazing. SRV was really on top of it that night. I think it's his best, every song the best, better than Austin City Limits.
This show was early in his career. The Austin shows were later after he got clean. His music got a little bit cleaner to. I do love every recording of him.
Born and raised in Oak Cliff, Texas. Dallas
By the way jimmy vaughn is stevey older brother just started watchin yalls channel bro yall got a lot of stevey ray to see yet old man fan from texas
Stevie is top ten maybe five greatest guitar players ever. Playing a guitar behind your back is so hard it's unbelievable. It's upside down now. He was a absolute master of the guitar and had a amazing soulful voice. Left us too early.
Jeff Beck and Steve Vai would also be on my list...
He's on a whole other level... Yes.
They say that the spring rains here in Texas is her crying for her lost sons. The years when it floods is when she has been listening to Stevie on the wind.
😢perfection
Stevie Ray really knew how to play THE BLUES - he played with the likes of BB King, Albert King, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy etc. they all gave him his props as a seriously soulful blues player
Albert was his mentor. The video of them trading licks and songs is priceless!
Much love for the knowledge but Clapton doesn't belong in a sentence with Albert and buddy guy.
@@jamiegan23 I agree. Clapton is overrated imo.
When cats like Buddy Guy, BB King, Eric Clapton, and the rest of the blues legends complimented him, you know he could play the blues!
He is a beautiful beast. I loved him and will always remember him. He played on heavy ,heavy strings.
Yes he is (was) from Texas. His older brother Jimmy taught him a few chords to practice on and he took it to the heavens! He died in 1991 in a helicopter crash in Wisconsin after a performance. RIP Stevie!
Died August, 1990.
@@a.bevdfray6625 yup.
I got to see Stevie twice and got to meet Jimmie once also
He is from Oak Cliff....which is a part of Dallas. I live 3 miles from where he grew up. He was my idol . Imagine living within 20 miles of SRV and Dime bag Darryl. Two local idols and heroes. The best of both worlds.
@@a.bevdfray6625 Thanks! To be honest, I'd forgotten exactly (Gimme a break, I'm 70, LOL!) my husband was still living in Chicago at the time and Alpine Valley, where he and Eric Clapton were performing was not that far, relatively. My hubby said he had wanted to get tickets to see him because he'd been to that venue many times before and on his way to work that morning and the news of the crash was all over the radio.
So happy to see the younger generation experiencing our great music from the past! Please help this great music stay alive....
Greatest live performance of all time.
Stevie Ray Vaughn, The Greatest of All Time!!!!!
No. That is reserved for Jimi Hendrix
A fun fact about Stevie is when he plays live he freestyles he never plays a song the same he always changes something each time . He was a legend in blues and know that when the legends that come before him calls him a legend well enough said.
It was Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones who basically discovered Stevie Ray and put him on the map. SRV got his big break when David Bowie hired him to perform lead guitar on Bowie's "Let's Dance" album. If you've ever heard the David Bowie songs "Let's Dance", "Modern Love", or "Little China Girl", then you've heard Stevie Ray Vaughn before because he plays lead on all those songs.
I seriously can't believe that you both talked aaaalllll the way through this guitar solo, missing half of it 😮
Or was it Jackson Brown that discovered SRV??
I've heard this a hundred times and still hold my breath till he's done. Just amazing.
Stevie could leave even the best professional guitarists with their jaws dropped, Eric Clapton said once that if you never played guitar before he made you want to pick it up and if you already played guitar, he made you want to put it down.
Stevie was one of the best guitarist this world will ever see. It’s seriously insane how good he was at it. One of the guitar gods for sure
I saw him live in Denver in 1984 and he hit the first chords and everyone in the audience stood up like we could not help it and we stayed on our feet the whole time. The sound waves just poured right through us. He does a blues version of Mary Had a Little Lamb that I thought was fun.
i remember seeing you there in 84 what a night .
This is a legendary performance, I used to see him at Fitzgerald club in Houston TX on a regular basis and had the same reaction you are having EVERY SINGLE TIME! Thank you for the reaction😊
OMG 😮
You're so lucky!!
Stevie is a Texas born and bred badazzz anomaly. A humble and gracious angel. 😢
He played with 13gaged strings.. and would super glue his finger tips back on in the breaks.. TRUE FACTS.. very humble,kind,loving, soul.. BB KING & Albert Collins,loved him check those out he plays with them guys as well..
I remember when I first heard that I was blown away. I used to play 11s back in the day when I was chugging out metal riffs. I can't imagine 13s.
Those weren't strings. They were cables. And he still managed to break them, somehow.
And he died so tragically and so young shortly after he got clean! I can’t imagine what he might have done! His music will live on forever!!!
He was famous for what, 7 years, about the same as his idol, Hendrix…💔
@@subversivelysurreal3645 Jimi only had 4 years, sadly.
Full marks to Double Trouble.....they fit and filled behind Stevie so well.....great Band.
Congratulations. You just discovered one of the many treasures of Texas. Stevie Ray Vaughan was one of Texas's own. It is a bloody shame he is gone. He wrote Texas Flood if you didn't know that. The man basically slept with his guitar from his teenage years.
You should listen to his version of Lenny. SRV was golden. I won't do I bio but yes born and raised in Texas.
The honor goes to the one who is privileged to hear his music. We are blessed.
The GOAT! He did things live in front of audiences 40 yrs ago that current musicians wont try at home....just imagine how good he would have gotten had the lord let him stay? I guess his play was needed up there....
I met Stevie about 2 months before he was killed in a helicopter crash. He is THE GOAT. No one could touch him playing electric blues. Check out his cover of Hendrix's Voodoo Child from the Austin City Limits show. He plays it better than Jimi did.
Only thing I would change is for him to play it at the original tempo.
I have the utmost respect for Hendrix. 👑 But I think Stevie plays Hendrix’s songs better. He made me really love a lot of those songs. For me SRV is the 🐐
@@dannygjk Man, they played that song at EVERY tempo.😄 I'm sure they hit the original every now and again. Amazing band, the three of them (and Reese later.)
SRV = FINAL BOSS
At my age ,53, I always enjoy witnessing people discover Stevie Ray. In my opinion the best guitarist I’ve experienced in my lifetime. Most guitarists play solos for a few seconds in a song, Stevie as you see everything is a solo, a true loss like so many others like him back in the 70’s and 80’s. RIP SRV🙏
Stevie was from Oak Cliff in Dallas.. he was quiet and humble about a lot of things.. there is so many songs and jams with friends that no one will ever hear.. truly is sad.. My family has many pictures and 8 mm videos and recordings of jams with him and my uncle playing..pics of his "first band" and many other things such as cashed and signed old paychecks from when he worked for my grandfather with my uncle.. the last time i saw him in person was in the late 80's at xmas time.. he battled addiction.. he made a guitar weep when he sat it down... he made angels cry everytime he struck a note and he made a legend that was not heard of till much later and at the end... he now inspires so many players it is great... he actually at one time went to jimi hendrixs dad and asked if he could record voodoo chile... jimi's dad was so impressed by his reverence and humility that he gave him jimi's wah wah pedal to help make it sound just like jimi...stevie was so proud of that pedal... little did stevie know it would make him a legend also.. he was heavily influenced by many genres of music but also by local bands such as Dust..who made it onto the rock and roll tree of life... he was a genuine dude.. and was a sad day for music when he passed..i think all the guitars in the world moaned and wailed that day... much love and respect..
Greatest Guitarist that ever walked the Earth!
FACTS
Srv played with very heavy strings 13 gauge from Dallas moved to Austin they have a museum there showcasing that very guitar I agree with other commentators always watch live he has so many great performances
Heavy strings and a high action.
I worked backstage for BB King twice and Robert Cray AND Eric Clapton.... I've seen ALL of the greats play in concert... Miles Davis, Buddy Guy, etc. I had the privilege of seeing SRV at a small club in Ohio.... As far as guitar goes, I say this from 54 years of concerts, my father being able to play ANY instrument and my mother's love for ALL music... From the Beatles to African Tribal Mumbassa.... ( She really loved that in morning to get her day going) I can say WITHOUT RESERVATION he was the greatest guitarist to ever put his feet on this Earth's soil.... PERIOD! SHUT THE LIGHTS OFF, TURN OFF THE MARQEE.... WTF!?!!? DID WE JUST SEE!
Spent most of my 57 years seeing different artists and bands live. SRV is the greatest guitarist I ever saw. His performances left fellow musicians in awe. RIP goat. You are missed and remembered.
Nice to see younger people appreciating Stevie Ray, I saw him live in 1986 .
Next stuff you need to check from Stevie : Little wing, Life without you, Voodoo chile, Tin pan Alley...
Stevie is just a next level on every song. You can't go wrong with whatever you pick.
And "Look at Little Sister" -- oh, and Mary Had a Little Lamb...
Hendrix was such an innovative talent with his psychedelic arrangements,etc. in that regard Hendrix was the real innovator. Its like Hendrix was a black smith and one of the greatest swordsmen in is own right. However the greatest one to wield a sword called a guitar, was SRV. I wish he covered everything Hendrix.
Tin Pan Alley live with Johnny Copeland is Killer!
Greatest guitarist ever....and he has his eyes closed through most of it....
THIS is wnat to experience when you need to understand just what SRV was about. Unequaled passion, the deepest, dirtiest, heartfelt amazing blues in history. He made his guitar weep with sounds that werent possible, and all other guitars on earth weep in jealousy and humiliation for even existing.
Wow, you really hit it with your words, capturing SRV's uniqueness!
First time I saw the man was 11/24/84 at the Warfield Theater in San Francisco. Growing up in the East Bay, thought I'd seen some of the very best guitar slingers to ever bend a string. Stevie was exactly one year older than me, but within minutes of him hitting the stage, I knew that I would never miss an opportunity to see him again, whenever he came around. I was lucky enough to see him six more times, before he left us. He NEVER disappointed!!
I grew up in Berkeley and could have seen him numerous times, but like an idiot I put it off. Will always regret that. Stevie and I were 6 mos. apart in age.
@@marymargaretmoore9034
I had two older brothers, who graduated highschool in '64/67. They were always going into 'The City' to see legendary musicians like Janice Joplin, Michael Bloomfield, The Airplane, etc. I was always jealous, and made it a point early on to make up for lost opportunities. I think my favorite SRV show was at the old H.J. Kaiser Convention center (New Year's Eve). with Tower of Power & Junior Walker. Was able to watch the show just a few steps away from Stevie ...was never envious of my brothers after that.
@@DSmith264 My brothers graduated in '64 and '66. My oldest brother knew many of the musicians back in the day, lived with the Grateful Dead family. I met Mike Bloomfield when my girlfriend (who was going with him) took me to his house in Mill Valley. I could go on and on about all the cool music and musicians I was around back in the day. It was a great time to grow up in Berkeley/Oakland/S.F. for sure! Thanks for the memories.
@@marymargaretmoore9034
Yes indeed, it was a magical time and place. Difficult to explain it to someone who wasn't there. So many different venues to melt into. The Keystone, Winterland Auditorium, Filmore West, The Greek Theater (saw SRV & Lonnie Mack there), and on and on.. I'm just super grateful for having had the opportunity to experience it first hand! Who knows, you and I may have walked right past one another at some point back in the day 😊. Thanks for reaching out and sprinkling some nostalgia in my direction. What a long strange trip it's been. God love you Mary, and keep on keepin' on
@@DSmith264 You too! Yes, some of the best shows I saw were at Winterland and the Fillmore.
I absolutely love this. Born and raised in Texas. Saw this man play live in Austin. So incredibly happy that a younger generation is discovering this.
The GOAT, there has never been another
I love seeing peoples first reactions to SRV! I've been listening and watching him for 30 years and it still gives me chills and tears in my eyes!!
Watch him and his great mentor , Albert King, together! He was humble and the blues masters adored him.
Gregg Allman and band doing One Way Out live at the Fillmore is another blues masterpiece.
On Janis- her and Tom Jones singing Raise Your Hand live on his show has some of the hottest chemistry you’ll see!
Love love love your reactions!!!🥰👏
Stevie just closes his eyes and lets God play through him
💙💙💙💙💙
@@BarbButleragreed
Absolutely true!
❤❤❤
Yes.
Stevie Ray Vaughan will always be #1 to me. The Pride of Texas Blues! He played and sang with all his heart and soul every single time!!!
I think my favorite comment on this performance is "I didn't even know bro sang!" Love the reaction. SRV is one of the best ever on the instrument. Period.
He’s not making that guitar sing, he’s making it CRY. Killin it. I keep waiting for the behind the back work. ❤❤
Love your reaction! He was out of this world! I remember like it was yesterday, I was working at a facility for head injury patients in Seattle. A patient was listening to the radio as I was transferring him from his bed to his wheelchair. The Announcer broke the news that Stevie Ray was killed in a helicopter crash after performing with Eric Clapton just hours ago. My legs buckled at that moment, and I nearly dropped my patient. Total shock. There are a lot of great blues guitarists, but they can't hold a candle to Stevie Ray Vaughan, an irreplaceable legend.
It’s truly amazing that he plays so brilliantly with pinpoint accuracy and emotion. My God he was a treasure ❤
SRV - the GOAT. Best guitarist ever.
Welcome to the light! SRV was and is such a revolution in our love of music and life. He continues to stun and amaze people from every age and genre of music. Such a short career and tragic loss. RIP SRV.
Hey fella’s, Great video U just witnessed a guy who ate, slept and breathed guitar his entire life.
He is playing 12 to 13 gauge strings which will rip a beginner’s fingers to shreds. He was born and raised in Austin Texas dirt poor but he loved music so much he quit high school to pursue a career in music. Now, If U really want to see him go absolutely nuts! Check out His rendition of Voodoo Chile by the late great Jimi Hendrix. He would play these heavy strings until his fingertips would actually slice and bleed, He would go backstage superglue them back together and finish the show.
Great reaction guys, keep the fire coming. Don’t forget. Voodoo Child.
Yes, from Dallas Texas, he was the GOAT. He died in a helicopter crash way too young. He was very good friends with BB King, Stevie loved the blues, he was a blues guitarist, and the best to have ever played.
Stevie also played on the heaviest, thickest string gauge you can get because he had such strong fingers and powerful bends that he would break anything lighter!
Great reaction! Stevie Ray was the greatest guitar player to ever walk this earth. Nobody played with more passion and fire than Stevie Ray.
I got to see him live one time when he opened for The Who is the Houston Astrodome. The next year he was gone, way too soon. He will never be forgotten here in Texas.
I am so happy to see your reactions to SRV, he was one of a kind❤❤❤
It's called emoting. SRV is pulling his soul up and into that guitar
Stevie Ray made his own sound and once you hear it you know it.
Never saw a guitar player play with such passion. He felt every note he played. He was amazing.
👏🙌✌️Great reaction and welcome to the amazing world of SRV🎸🎶💙. First time landing on your channel cuz I saw SRV🎸. Yes you came to the right conclusion: always live🎸‼️. There isn't any studio version that is better IMO. Watching this man meld and melt into the music and letting it flow through him has to be witnessed to be believed. He is other worldly. Check out Tin Pan Alley with Stevie and Johnny Copeland from Montreux Jazz Festival. It is a master class in down and dirty blues🎸💙💙💯
@@moefeaux1442 hi Moe Feaux👋. We do seem to travel in the same circles. Must be because we have such great taste in music🎸🎶💯. I still remember Justin P's reaction the first time he gave you a shout out for a recommendation. He cracked up at your moniker. 😂
@@moefeaux1442 yes I check multiple times a day actually☺️. I find that sometimes a just released new video from a new reactor comes up in my feed and I'll watch it but the search for it after and it might not show up for a few days. I even have a saved playlist of those 1st timers when they are really good reactions. I am awaiting knee replacement and spend too much time on my couch these days✌️💙
Ditto! Couldn't click fast enough!
@@moefeaux1442 that is funny😂. I am glad you are great in bed😉✌️. And thank you for the well wishes, I will be glad when all of this is in the rear view mirror for sure .✌️💙
As Jimi Hendrix was a major influence and hero for Stevie, you might want to check out some of the covers he performed live.
I like his Voodoo Child from an Austin show. But Little Wing and even a 3rd Stone From the Sun cover are on YT. They all show a reverence for the original, but Stevie never plays them the same twice.
Thank you for the respect you showed this artist -
Peace
PS you won my subscription.
Yes he was a Texan and the El Mocambo was a famous bar in Toronto, Ontario. This performance was filmed there in 1983. A buddies brother was in the audience that night and said you guy's missed the show of a lifetime. We kicked our butts for years for missing that one!
every note comes from his soul
Stevie was not just a great guitar player ,he was a great singer with a unique voice!!!
Concho hats, Kimono... he defied labels...
You donkey!
Stevie is definitely a Texas Legend. The best Texas blues you will ever hear comes from. SRV. I had the privilege of meeting him a couple of times and attend several concerts. Stevie and his guitar were like one entity. He was also one of the nicest guys you would ever meet. I love watching people discover him for the first time. Stevie was born in Dallas. He died in 1990 in a helicopter crash after leaving a concert . Check out Pride and Joy which is one of my favorites. But anything is good lol. Eric Clapton said Stevie would be the only one to make him hang up his guitar.
Great Reaction guys! Much love
Stevie Ray.
The angels bleed ,love and scream.
I love that I can experience your first time hearing SRV. Your reactions are right on. He was & is one of the greatest guitarists EVER
Srv was without a doubt the goat. What a shame we lost him. I've lived in the Dallas area for 30 years and he's an absolute legend here.
You dudes started with the video that sold SRV to me as a very young man. I bought this on VHS tape back then and I wore this video OUT!!! I know you both will enjoy Stevie for the rest of your life from here on out. Glad your eyes have been opened to THE best guitarist to ever live.
GOAT of guitarists period! No one today comes near
Fun Fact: The El Mocambo is in Toronto Ontario Canada of all places and its legendary....
Congratulations on stepping up to Stevies realm . I use to be a die hard Jimi fan. Its sad, I pushed Stevie aside for traditional rocking blues from Jimi. Not now. I know who the GOAT is .
HE IS FROM TEXAS - best texas blues man that ever lived. -- next try out the song "Leave my little girl alone" - great solos in that one too.
I am glad to be able to see SRV live 2 times, unforgetable experiences
He had the best tone out of anyone I’ve ever heard hands down. 🎸
Any time anyone unfamiliar with SRV and sees this is always blown away. One of the greatest live performances ever. Of course his playing is incredible but he also had a great bluesy voice.
Subbed!
"Life Without You", live at Capitol theater is incredible.
Tin Pan Alley (with Johnny Copeland) is excellent.
All SRV is great. Him and his brother Jimmy play a double neck together and it's pretty crazy.
The official video of Superstition features a cameo by Stevie Wonder.
Yes He Is From TEXAS!!! Unfortunately he did August 27th 1990. An extremely dark day in music... Heaven is enjoying some amazing music with him up there. Truly a God given talent he was....
Watching younger musicians discover SRV does something to my heart❤❤❤
srv will never cease to amaze...the rythum and blue soul he poured into all of his songs...voddoo chile is the epitome of that guitar...but theres a long list here from him....
Stevie Ray Vaughan is THE GOAT!
"He's not even with us at this point... we don't need any words!" Nailed it on the head!
NEVER, EVER listen to the studio version with SRV. ALWAYS listen to Stevie live!
Agreed, although his studio recordings were great. He was just on a whole different level when he played live.
What's the problem with hearing both?
Nah, his studio recordings are great too. You can listen to both.
Never??? I don't think so. His studio material is top shelf as well.
Hell to the yes!
