You brought joy to my soul watching you see this first time. SRV was one of our best guitarists and human beings. Austin City Limits shows with him are primo.
This man WAS his guitar - and the guitar WAS him! There will never be another SRV. SO MUCH TALENT!! LOVE HEALY, TOO! RIP to them, BOTH - they are SO SORELY MISSED!
I was 17 when Stevie died. I knew of him but didn't listen to his music. About 5 years ago I rediscovered him and was blown away. Man, I wish I would have made it to a concert before he passed. He is THE G.O.A.T. No one compares. React to Life without you at The Capital theater great performance.
Nah. He was great but highly repetitive. This whole song he played the same licks over and over. He played them so well and effortlessly and they are great licks for sure but his playing was very predictable.
I've seen many great reactions to this.. This is in my Top 5. As calm and restrained as she was, her facial expressions spoke loud and clear. The look of trying to process what you're seeing/experiencing is priceless. Stevie has so many jaw dropping performances, but this one seems to get everybody. SRV was unreal. He was next-level special. It pains me to this day that he had to move on. 😞💔 Thank God he left us these gems to continually appreciate. GOAT ✌
Talk about a mega-talent gone way too soon. I saw him live playing a side stage at a fest waaaaay back in the day. No idea who he was, never heard of him. From the first song, I was blown away. My friends walked away at the end of his set and we were all speechless. A timeless legend.
I was waiting for the ol' "kicking myself". People always say 'How'? after the jaw drop. You gotta see "Tin Pan Alley"(a performance with Johnny Copeland). You're gonna fall in love with Stevie! ☮️
Excellent reaction. It has been rumored that SRV never died, God just wanted guitar lessons! If you want to hear the essence of Stevie Ray Vaughan, treat yourself to Stevie Ray Vaughan “Tin Pan Alley” with Johnny Copeland. Both artists were on fire that session. The respect shown on that stage was quintessential Stevie Ray Vaughan.
SRV ~ 🎸🐐 The goatiest goat in all of goatness For the next two in the trinity of must-see SRV vids: **Life Without You at Capitol Theater** **Voodoo Child at Austin City Limits 1989**
"Stevie was an endless, open channel that music just poured out of. He made people who'd never touched a guitar in their life want to pick one up and start playing, and he made those of us who'd played live onstage with him before want to quit.".....................Eric Clapton.
Oh, girl! This is one of his best live performances.. SRV the GOAT of blues... (I love watching first-time viewers .. esp. when he puts it behind his back.. and THEN steps up to SANG-lol) appreciate your listen & reaction! (p.s. Jeff Healey! YES!)
I’m cracking up watching your expression when he started playing his guitar behind his back. Every reactor has the same open mouthed speechless look on their faces. Too much fun! He really was exceptional.
I started playing the screechy, hair guitar in 1985 when I was 15. Stevie came along a few years later and instantly had a fan. For anyone who questions if there's a God or a higher power, if you see this, it truly should answer the question. I've been playing for 35 years and can't play like that. Stevie truly is/was a very special person. To play like that truly is a gift. He was chosen, and that's why we only had him for a few years. You should really watch the entire El Mocambo concert. It's the standard for all of his other performances. That night was special. He was on fire. Unless you play and have seen hundreds of his performances, you may not know exactly what I mean. If God plays a Fender Stratocaster, he plays it just like Stevie plays his. 😁
“When I play, I play sort of like talking, you know, syllables, you say a sentence here, a sentence there and then, I’ve to stop and think for something else to keep my conversation going. But his didn’t seem to be that at all. It was fluent, he flowed when he played. He could get something going and it was like a song and it would just go on and on. Ideas continuously flowed, I don’t have that. There is not a lot of people that I hear that have that but Stevie had it.” - BB King Anything from this Live at El Mocambo concert is the epitome of blues guitar playing.
It was a stinkin' hot evening in Toronto, I was lucky enough to be there, it was broadcast live on either CityTV or MuchMusic, The Elmo is a legendary bar, some great acts have played there. Stevie Ray gave Colin James his big break when the opening act didn't show up in Saskatoon, Colin got the call to fill in and ended up touring with him.
@@tomroome4118 Ya it was those simulcasts they would do with CHUM FM from the 70's til' the early 80's and it was always on the wknd's from one of the dive's downtown.
The El Macombo was a revered musical venue in Toronto, Canada. Rolling Stones and many others played and hung out there. SRV met Jeff Healy when he was 20 and he became his sponsor. SRV and Jeff became good friends and Jeff was there cheering him at Stevie’s last concert before he left on the helicopter on that fateful night. Jeff was heartbroken for years 😢
You have a lot of wonderful experiences in store. SRV does a nice cover of Jimi Hendrix's classic Little Wing. It would give you another perspective on his playing. BTW, to show his versatility, Stevie was lead guitarist for the entire Let's Dance album by David Bowie. Your reaction choices lately have really been synced up with my musical interests, RTM. Looking forward to the next one!
Little Wing is my #1 Fav cover of his. Best guitar player, next to Prince and Eddie Van Halen. So happy I was on the planet when they were still here, and got to see 2 perform live in person. Was too young to catch SRV, but was obsessed in high school, as a guitar player myself. “Pride and Joy”, “House Is A Rockin” and “Mary Had A Little Lamb” are used in movies pretty frequently.
Imagine if you will a normal night out with friends with some drinks waiting for the live band to play at a local Toronto club...and Stevie Tommy and Chris give you somewhat more than your money's worth. SRV shows you the legend.
"Come On", is right. What a master, and even when the music got quiter Stevie was able to ratchet up the intensity, by playing slower and using his fingers to pick. The skin against the strings changed the whole dynamic. What a player !! Mosr guitarists play notes, Stevie played MUSIC !!
SRV's soul and fingers were one with his guitar. You need to watch his performance of "look at little sister " from Austin City Limits. He does something that will blow your mind.
Hey Charlene......Charlene here. The El Mo was an old haunt of mine during the 70's & 80's. When you mentioned about "kicking yourself" it reminded me of missing that SRV date. Like you I wasn't tuned into his music, so I passed. Aaargh!! Thanks for your reaction & promotion of our amazing & sadly missed Jeff Healey. Cheers!
Glad you discovered Stevie Ray! When his first album got a little airplay in '83 it was like teak or mahogany had just gotten introduced to a musical world made of Styrofoam. I got to see him at the Universal Amphitheatre in LA in '84. We got a stunning but short run from an amazing player. I'm glad I was somehow on the planet at exactly the right time.
You had pretty much the same reaction that everyone does when they here Stevie for the first time. I've been listening to him since he put out his first record and he still blows me away! You should do Tin pan alley at Rockplast for sure! There's another video of him doing Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland as well. They're both awesome, I guess I prefer the one at Rockplast, but they're both amazing for sure!
If you are looking for another surprising live guitar performance: "25 or 6 to 4" by Chicago, and you want the Live at Tanglewood version from (I think) 1970. The lead guitarist, Terry Kath, was another legend we lost too soon.
Yes. It's like breathing to him. Great way to put it. BB King said most great players play in phrases while Stevie speaks sentences. (Or something like that) :-)
Highly recommend "Stevie Ray Vaughan Tin Pan Alley (with Johnny Copeland)" next! A beautiful showcase of his voice and playing, as well as how respectful and deferential he is when he shares the stage with another legend! Along with this rendition of Texas Flood, it is my top favorite live performance of any artist, anytime!
Now you CAN'T POSSIBLY have never heard of SRV!!!! It is IMPOSSIBLE!!! Dude singlehandedly revived the blues in the early 80's! Just a genius who gave tribute to those blues artists before him. NEVER forgot his roots. Through him I learned of Albert King, Freddie Collins, Lonnie Mack, Albert Collins, Buddy Guy and of course BB King and Muddy Waters! Just good ol tasty bluesmen!
If you enjoyed this, you MUST check out Jeff Healey and Stevie Ray Vaughan-"Look at Little Sister ". Jeff was also a Blues phenomenon. Jeff was blind and in my opinion, he is one of the only other guitarists who could hold his own with Stevie Ray. That performance will make you happy that you're alive and you got to withess it! It will bring you to your feet! 👌💣💯🥳
You wanna see something, take a look at the video of Stevie and his brother Jimmie, lead guitar for The Fabulous Thunderbirds, play Pipeline on the same double neck guitar at the same time
The G.O.A.T. If you watch him carefully, he almost NEVER looks at the fretboard or the strings. He knows where every inch of that guitar is. As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
You MUST listen to SRV's "Ain't Gone 'n' Give Up On Love" live at the Capitol Theater, Passaic, NJ. The passion is incredible... what he communicates through the guitar, AND the vocals makes this performance of the song one of my favorites! My favorite part is where a smile comes to Stevie's face, mid-song, at the audience response, feeling the warmth, the connection. I will always be in love with the music and the man. So full of truth, soul, spirit, generosity, humility, authenticity, a creative flow that is truly organic, genuine passion, and great love! Be sure to watch "Life Without You" and other performances from this same concert, too. As you wondered, SRV has many sides to explore through his music, in original pieces and covers. Everything from the blues to rock to jazz. Pensive, joyous, aggressive, rollicking, tongue-in-cheek, heart-warming, ethereal... all Stevie... communicated so sublimely and honestly. You will so enjoy going down this rabbit hole🕳️. Welcome to an artist who is strong enough and vulnerable enough to show you his real self and amazing heart. ❤️ 🎸🕊️ 🎶🐐
That's how we all felt the first time we heard him....utter disbelief.
He makes those who don't play guitar want to learn it and those who do play guitar want to burn it
Nicely put
If your going to paraphrase Claptons quote, st least give him credit
@@Bradywright-u8g The quote Police..
@Bradywright-u8g Clapton is far too humble
This......
Was blessed to see him in concert. He truly plugged Number One into his soul.
RIP The Cat in a Hat with a Strat.
He was truly a COOL CAT !
You brought joy to my soul watching you see this first time. SRV was one of our best guitarists and human beings. Austin City Limits shows with him are primo.
Welcome to our Texas pride and joy 😊
Yeah. Stevie has that effect on first time watchers. Your eyes see it, but your mind can’t fully comprehend it. Welcome to the fold.
This man WAS his guitar - and the guitar WAS him! There will never be another SRV. SO MUCH TALENT!! LOVE HEALY, TOO! RIP to them, BOTH - they are SO SORELY MISSED!
I was 17 when Stevie died. I knew of him but didn't listen to his music. About 5 years ago I rediscovered him and was blown away. Man, I wish I would have made it to a concert before he passed. He is THE G.O.A.T. No one compares. React to Life without you at The Capital theater great performance.
I’ll bet this is the most watched and listened to video and song that I have ever listened to. I’m 71 and still watching and listening!!!
SRV = GOAT, game over!
SRV best that ever walked the Earth!
Nah. He was great but highly repetitive. This whole song he played the same licks over and over. He played them so well and effortlessly and they are great licks for sure but his playing was very predictable.
@hesch-tag Oh I see.....you must be an expert.
@stevew585 Yes, Thank you for acknowledging it. Stevie Repetitive Vaughan.
I've seen many great reactions to this.. This is in my Top 5. As calm and restrained as she was, her facial expressions spoke loud and clear. The look of trying to process what you're seeing/experiencing is priceless. Stevie has so many jaw dropping performances, but this one seems to get everybody. SRV was unreal. He was next-level special. It pains me to this day that he had to move on. 😞💔 Thank God he left us these gems to continually appreciate. GOAT ✌
Texas Flood live at the El Mocambo is the best version of this...one of the best performances ever captured on video 👍
Stevie didn't play guitar, he was actually possessed by it and the guitar played him
Talk about a mega-talent gone way too soon. I saw him live playing a side stage at a fest waaaaay back in the day. No idea who he was, never heard of him. From the first song, I was blown away. My friends walked away at the end of his set and we were all speechless. A timeless legend.
A perfect example of why he’ll always be the greatest guitarist of all time. At least in my book
great reaction. I saw SRV three times back in the day. I have been to a lot of concerts but I could not see SRV enough. Great performer.
Simply, the real deal.
To do next? You cant beat this one. Although, the rest of that show, will again leave you in awe. Lucky people in Toronto that night.
Maybe 150 people could fit in the El Macombo, I was lucky enough to catch SRV a venue in Oshawa before his tragic death ❤RIP SRV
Speechless is the right reaction. You just saw the greatest s*** that ever was.
Thank you for playing this and reminding me once again why I love this music 🔥❤️
I was waiting for the ol' "kicking myself". People always say 'How'? after the jaw drop. You gotta see "Tin Pan Alley"(a performance with Johnny Copeland). You're gonna fall in love with Stevie! ☮️
"Couldn't stand the weather", live from Capitol Theatre 1985 is fire!!🔥
Yes!
stevie ray vaughn life without you is a great song, my favorite
Excellent reaction. It has been rumored that SRV never died, God just wanted guitar lessons! If you want to hear the essence of Stevie Ray Vaughan, treat yourself to Stevie Ray Vaughan “Tin Pan Alley” with Johnny Copeland. Both artists were on fire that session. The respect shown on that stage was quintessential Stevie Ray Vaughan.
He and his guitar are one.
Saw him live in 1989 with Jeff Beck, what an amazing show he put on. Easily the best show I ever saw!
SRV ~ 🎸🐐 The goatiest goat in all of goatness
For the next two in the trinity of must-see SRV vids:
**Life Without You at Capitol Theater**
**Voodoo Child at Austin City Limits 1989**
This entire El Mocambo gig is killer,,,,so's the 1989 Austin City Limits entire show. Welcome aboard,,,lotsa' room!!!

SRV was a bluesman through and through. We lost him way too soon.
Welcome to the SRV fan club!!!! ❤
The Legend Continues!
Oh, girl! This is one of his best live performances.. SRV the GOAT of blues... (I love watching first-time viewers .. esp. when he puts it behind his back.. and THEN steps up to SANG-lol) appreciate your listen & reaction! (p.s. Jeff Healey! YES!)
This rabbit hole runs deep...Glad you discovered it! Enjoy!!
The Greatest
I’m cracking up watching your expression when he started playing his guitar behind his back. Every reactor has the same open mouthed speechless look on their faces. Too much fun! He really was exceptional.
Man and guitar merged into one entity! I've always wondered how many individual notes he played during that performance.
I started playing the screechy, hair guitar in 1985 when I was 15. Stevie came along a few years later and instantly had a fan. For anyone who questions if there's a God or a higher power, if you see this, it truly should answer the question. I've been playing for 35 years and can't play like that.

Truth!❤
The GOAT ❤RIP MY BRO
Your next adventure in the SRV experience should be "Tin Pan Alley" with Johnny Copeland, you will love it.

I think it was CityTV. My friend was there also and I recorded it on VHS tape for him. You can see him at the beginning of this video.

His rendition of "Mary had a little lamb" LIVE at Austin city limits in absolutely incredible

I saw SRV on Austin City Limits (a tv show on a local PBS channel) one night in the 80's, Jaw dropping moment
I saw that too,it was great
Ya there's one in 83' where he's wearin' a blue komono and one from 89' that's fawkin amazing!!
A lot of reviews have i watched of this man. But you were totally speechless. Fabulous
Man what I wouldn’t give to have been in that Smokey little club that night !!
Imagine if you will a normal night out with friends with some drinks waiting for the live band to play at a local Toronto club...and Stevie Tommy and Chris give you somewhat more than your money's worth. SRV shows you the legend.
In my day. This man was really blessed . Just amazing man will always be missed. SRV. Lives forever.
I saw SRV and didn't even know it! Went to a David Bowie concert and SRV was his guitarist at the time 😅
FOR ME SRV NUMBER 1 ALL TIME .. R I P MASTER SRV ..
1000 THANKS MADAME .
"Come On", is right. What a master, and even when the music got quiter Stevie was able to ratchet up the intensity, by playing slower and using his fingers to pick. The skin against the strings changed the whole dynamic. What a player !! Mosr guitarists play notes, Stevie played MUSIC !!
Played and sang!! behind his back!!
Johnny Lang and Kenny Wayne Sheppard were a couple of surprises for me some years back!
The Goat
Better late than never! You should check out his "sound check".
SRV's soul and fingers were one with his guitar. You need to watch his performance of "look at little sister " from Austin City Limits. He does something that will blow your mind.

It's a shame they didn't show even one shot of the palms.
"Life without you" from the Capitol Theater, is great follow up
Yes!
Glad you discovered Stevie Ray! When his first album got a little airplay in '83 it was like teak or mahogany had just gotten introduced to a musical world made of Styrofoam. I got to see him at the Universal Amphitheatre in LA in '84. We got a stunning but short run from an amazing player. I'm glad I was somehow on the planet at exactly the right time.
i saw him and Jeff Beck on the same stage at the Boston Garden, many decades ago. They were incredible playing separate and together!!!
You had pretty much the same reaction that everyone does when they here Stevie for the first time. I've been listening to him since he put out his first record and he still blows me away! You should do Tin pan alley at Rockplast for sure! There's another video of him doing Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland as well.

It is better to be late to the party. than to have never been there!
It was a "God" touched happening! Lots of Higgs Bosen Energy!!! :-) ;-)
Enjoyed your reaction - thanks.
SURPRISE!!!!!!
If you are looking for another surprising live guitar performance:
"25 or 6 to 4" by Chicago, and you want the Live at Tanglewood version from (I think) 1970. The lead guitarist, Terry Kath, was another legend we lost too soon.
Terry is a personal favorite! But the whole band kicks ass. Even the damn Horn Section writes songs and sings...Brilliant
Keep going down the rabbit hole but do his live versions.
Life Without You. And pay attention to the guitar
SRV and Albert King Blues at Sunrise. Listen to that. So good!
It would be my guess that if Stevie was still with us, there could never be a hotter ticket in town.
Yes. It's like breathing to him. Great way to put it. BB King said most great players play in phrases while Stevie speaks sentences. (Or something like that) :-)

Thank you for the recommendation. I’m actually very familiar with Jeff. He truly was a phenomenal talent. ♥️
Jeff is fucking epic! And a more humble man can't be found
DO “LENNY LIVE AT THE EL MACAMBO”
i agree, Lenny is an absolutely beautiful track!
th-cam.com/video/i5sqJNFFwqc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aArvY73wzcv6NVKW
You wanna see something, take a look at the video of Stevie and his brother Jimmie, lead guitar for The Fabulous Thunderbirds, play Pipeline on the same double neck guitar at the same time
This is one that EVERYONE says to watch but, "Riviera Paradise", "Lenny" and "Little Wing" are my personal favorites.
"Tin Pan Alley" with Johnny Copeland. Really nice. You'll like.
SRV and Jonny Copeland live performance at Montreal Jazz Fest would also be right up your Alley. Just say'in 🤣
The G.O.A.T. If you watch him carefully, he almost NEVER looks at the fretboard or the strings. He knows where every inch of that guitar is.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
🐐
Check out Pride and Joy by Stevie Ray Vaughan
And you ought to be. But better late than never. And, yes , Jeff Healey is in the ballpark.

He has a version of MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB that’s pretty cool !
He's the G.OA.T.
Greatest guitar player ever. Life without you live at the capital theater. Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland.
Five seconds in... "Im kicking myself already"..
Imagine the hand strength as he plays with 13ga. Strings much heavier than most guitarist use!
Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert King discovered Jeff Healy playing in a club and that's how it all started
Few great things came out of Texas , he’s one them.
You need to listen to life without you by Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Don't kick yourself. I'm jealous that this music is all new to you
I love it..." Get outta town." You gotta be from from Canady?
I am. 🤗
