Harri, I've seen this footage a 1000 times, I always love people's reaction with his amazing guitar switch. Something he did regularly and was to be expected by his tech, he had such strong hands. Now I've read the other comments and of course your subscribers are the best. I must suggest you check out Stevie and his older brother Jimmie, Vaughan playing 1 double neck guitar, Together at the same time . Song is called (PIPELINE ) A must see! Along with the sound check video. PEACE my friend.
Me too. SRV was only 1 month older than me & from Dallas (my family is from the same neighborhoods). I saw him in concert multiple times in the late 70s & 80s in Austin. He loved Jimi Hendrix & does the best cover of “Voodoo Child” hands down. RIP Stevie Ray 💔
Oh, how us lovers of SRV blues perfection truly MISS HIM!! 😢❤️😍 He just became unchained from alcohol & drug demons... 10 months or so later, he was reduced to rubble upon a mountainside, along with Eric Clapton's band members. AND now today, Americans have their feelings "hurt" with mere words. "But did you die?" became my NOW favorite slogan... !! Thank you Harri - we HAVE to keep this great music alive today in September 2022! ❤️ Hugs, from Mesa, AZ 🌵
Ahhh Mr Stevie Ray Vaughn!!! Definitely the GOAT of the Blues Guitar!!! LOVE him!!! He just oozes such cool cool vibes Every time, no matter what song he plays!! RIP Stevie--2021 now & we're still rockin' to ya!! 👍💞😊💞👍
The goat, love introducing SRV onto new people but also love watching people react to him, it’s normally the same reaction as I had to listening to him for the first time
Simply the greatest guitarist of all time. Nobody equaled his combination of technical skills, showmanship and physicality. He played a guitar with incredibly heavy strings and high action. All that aside, he was super nice guy---especially after he got clean and sober. What a tremendous legacy he left!
He does a version of this song with blind guitarist Jeff Healy who has an unusual guitar style. So worth watching. Also, there are many SRV version of the same songs that are the same but all different. Worth watching as well.
He did the impossible: played hard, fast, very precise but with a whole lotta soul. He never sounded robotic like some guitarists who play fast. He was an amazing musician and had a generous heart to go with his talent.
Ha had a brother Jimmy Vaughan. Also a guitarist. Family Style came out about a week before Stevie died, the shop I went to got the cd's and a bunch of promo posters. More than he was going to use so he gave me one of them
Another great SRV reaction. If you want to see how fast he can play you should check out "Leave My Girl Alone" from this same performance Live in Austin in 1989. It's a great song and Stevie plays it with such soul and intensity. You will love it.
I know you did Life Without You, but you really should do it live at the Capitol Theater. Doesn't matter being the same song because it will seem like a different song and the overall performance will just blow your mind
What a band!!! Such a shame to lose them when Stevie was taken 🙁 Yes speed was amazing its almost fake looking...just like Reese on keys...on fire!!! Nice reaction...love all things Stevie ..thanks 🤟🏼
Awe man, I always had to get up & jitter bug (w/ my dance partner) to this song every time he played it! Great memories!! Enjoyed reaction. Hey check out Crossfire (at Night Moves)....banger!! Mary Had a Little Lamb (@ ACL) Riviera Paradise (@ACL)👍
Not only did the guitar tech have the spare Strat out there on time, he already had the pickup switch and the volume and tone pots in the correct positions.
Check out Wham with Lonnie Mack...they did an album together, great stuff...also The American Caravan Show has some awesome footage of SRV with some of the blues great legends.
I think Reese and Stevie have similar God given hands & fingers.. Such precision strength accuracy (kinda like Bruce Lee) although seems likely much more stress and demand on Stevie's hands with those heavy strings, no match for him.. Just watched your Life Without You reaction you did last wk.. I think iv seen Voodoo Chile and Texas Flood.. Catch you and Stevie later, Thanks..
This is the guitar switch that you noticed... The one in sure you didn't catch was in the video I think you reacted to Life without you, I'm not sure if the time but it was in the first couple of minutes, he started with his brown guitar and switched to his White one abs never missed a note.
Harri, I see us, the ones consuming what SRV is putting out there, very much like Sharks in a feeding frenzy! Never getting enough and eternally returning for more! At least that's how I feel. (I should probably speak only of myself here.) I'm swimming around in circles keeping my eye on you & your channel, waiting to smell blood in the water! (another gem from SRV or the Beatles!) That is my truth about this "relationship" that we have. I mean 2 Weeks ago, I didn't even know that Harri Best existed and now I'm relying on you Harri for my sustenance. Rather strange dynamics, wouldn't you say? Let me know your thoughts...
Many of the performances I saw of his he would break a string and always changed over seamlessly. He looks to the right...nods...and there's another guitar. Lol. My understanding is that he used pretty heavy gauge strings. This performance is at Austin City Limits which was filmed for broadcast on public TV. Years later, after he has passed, his friends will stand on this same stage with his band Double Trouble and using this performance they will play with him one last time.
HarriBest, you reacted to Life without you at the cotton club, please react to Voodoo child at the same show The Cotton Club! You'll love this version too!
The other minor detail about breaking a string on a strat (or other trem guitar) is that the thing gous out of tune. All remaining strings to a different degree. It's bad enough to break a string live, but to have the remaining 5 all go out of whack, each to a different degree.
Guitarists! Have a look at Steve vai, the king of the instrumental. I saw him live in London about 20 years ago. Have a look at some smooth cool guitar goosebumps, TENDER SURRENDER (SteveVaiHimself), have a look at Steve vai I'M THE HELL OUTTA HERE-- CROSSROADS GUITAR FESTIVAL with legendary bass player BILLY SHEEHAN.with some interesting guitar playing in the middle of the tune. Have a look at Steve playing with 2 violinists, NOW WE RUN (SteveVaiHimself) also keep an eye and ears on the drummer's great performance in Now we run ,Jeremy Colson, not a Neil peart from rush size drum kit but he can certainly play it. Have a look at 2 cellos playing ACDC'S HIGHWAY TO HELL, with Steve vai on guitar. And have a look at Steve vai in a Epic guitar battle from the 1986 movie CROSSROADS in a guitar battle with RALPH MACCHIO (THE KARATE KID).good verses evil, I think that's enough to get you started, how's about a Steve vai triple neck guitar solo start to I KNOW YOU'RE HERE. Steve even sings on this one. STEVE VAI was voted one of the top ten guitarists of all time. Best wishes from the cold wet north east coast of England.
Yeah‼️. More Stevie Ray from Harri! Your comparison of his guitar tech changing him out after breaking a string to a Formula Race car crew was exactly my first thought when I first saw this! Well his guitar tech got lots of practice because Stevie was constantly breaking strings! When you consider he is bending and breaking 13 gauge piano wire strings gives you an idea of the strength in those oversized hands of his. Just incredible! Looking forward to much more review of his body of work. The neat thing is though you get a fresh sound from the same song played at a different time. Never played it the same way twice except for the basic structure of the song. Riffs and runs are different each time. Here is a link to him "In Session" with his mentor and idol, Albert King, called Dont Lie to me! th-cam.com/video/-ZL2b4O3nz8/w-d-xo.html
Switched guitars and didn't bat an eye.Still played guitar with a broken string until he reached a point he could change and there was no difference between sound.
Man, Stevie ABUSED those thick strings. He broke A LOT of strings over the years. Looks like he had TONS of practice by the time they filmed this video.
If you want to see another young guitarist that's fast and precise. Then Billy Strings is worth a look. It's probably a new genre for you. Some think he shows his heavy metal influences. Try Dust in a Baggie at the Oprey. BTW he's up for a Grammy this year.
Thank you!!! Thank you!!! I’ve been waiting for SRV and you made me one happy girl today❤️. I have been loving your channel ever since I subscribed for SRV. I went through all your reactions on your channel last night. You have been our hidden gem. I wanted to leave the link for Tin Pan Alley by SRV with Johnny Copeland just in case you have not found it yet. This is a great one!!! th-cam.com/video/AGPx-ekqZEo/w-d-xo.html

His band Double Trouble are an amazing group of musicians in their own right!!!!!😍🤩😎
Stevie is phenomenal, and for me remains still the best blues guitarists and singer after 30 years since his tragic death. Love this man to bits.
glad you discovered SRV. He is by far my favorite musician.
Me too. SRV was only 1 month older than me & from Dallas (my family is from the same neighborhoods). I saw him in concert multiple times in the late 70s & 80s in Austin. He loved Jimi Hendrix & does the best cover of “Voodoo Child” hands down. RIP Stevie Ray 💔
Pro trick: watch movies on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies recently.
@Cain Rory definitely, been watching on Flixzone} for years myself :D
Oh, how us lovers of SRV blues perfection truly MISS HIM!! 😢❤️😍 He just became unchained from alcohol & drug demons... 10 months or so later, he was reduced to rubble upon a mountainside, along with Eric Clapton's band members.

All that aside, he was super nice guy---especially after he got clean and sober. What a tremendous legacy he left!
You listen to one of his songs.
You feel like you've sat in on a full concert. It blows you away.
He does a version of this song with blind guitarist Jeff Healy who has an unusual guitar style. So worth watching.
Also, there are many SRV version of the same songs that are the same but all different. Worth watching as well.
Stevie Ray only had one keyboard player- he was Reese Wynans - joined the band in 85/86
Reese Wynans was also the first keyboard player for the Allman Brothers before Gregg joined and he is currently the keyboard player for Joe Bonamassa
Reese is a phenomenal keyboard musician. I love his solos.
Love Stevie (RIP).
He did the impossible: played hard, fast, very precise but with a whole lotta soul. He never sounded robotic like some guitarists who play fast. He was an amazing musician and had a generous heart to go with his talent.
SRV Texas blues ❤ From Cut~n~Shoot Texas
Ha had a brother Jimmy Vaughan. Also a guitarist. Family Style came out about a week before Stevie died, the shop I went to got the cd's and a bunch of promo posters. More than he was going to use so he gave me one of them
Guitar change was smooth as silk, i’m sure that wasn’t the first time they did that, awesome!
Another great SRV reaction. If you want to see how fast he can play you should check out "Leave My Girl Alone" from this same performance Live in Austin in 1989. It's a great song and Stevie plays it with such soul and intensity. You will love it.
You have to check out Riviera Paradise from this same show, live in Austin. The most beautiful guitar ever played.
He took that sting break like a CHAMP!
I know you did Life Without You, but you really should do it live at the Capitol Theater. Doesn't matter being the same song because it will seem like a different song and the overall performance will just blow your mind
Million percent agree , Capitol Theatre version the dogs nuts ...
Check out Mary had a little lamb, and Soundcheck.
Absolutely the blues, always have good insights Hari.
Love your SRV reactions. Thank you!
Thanx Lisa
Another good video is Pipeline live with Jimmy Vaughan. It's short but oh so sweet
What a band!!! Such a shame to lose them when Stevie was taken 🙁
Yes speed was amazing its almost fake looking...just like Reese on keys...on fire!!!
Nice reaction...love all things Stevie ..thanks 🤟🏼

You was talking about the speed he was playing in this song you should check out Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland I think you will enjoy that one
Not only did the guitar tech have the spare Strat out there on time, he already had the pickup switch and the volume and tone pots in the correct positions.
❤❤❤
Love your picks Harri! This is a Hank Ballard cover. Check out the original.
"If you're playing like that, your sister ain't got no choice man, she has to shake like a tree and roll like a log". BEST comment ever 😂
This is high precision team work at badest badass-level. Like a box stop in a formular 1 race.
SRV is just Great !! Reese Wynans is killer on the Keyboards.. ♠W.G.
My favorite is SOUND CHECK.
Check out Wham with Lonnie Mack...they did an album together, great stuff...also The American Caravan Show has some awesome footage of SRV with some of the blues great legends.
Gotta do "Mary had a little lamb" from same show!
I give KUDOs to SRV's stage hand for helping him to switch guitars so fast.
I think Reese and Stevie have similar God given hands & fingers..
Such precision strength accuracy (kinda like Bruce Lee) although seems likely much more stress and demand on Stevie's hands with those heavy strings, no match for him..
Just watched your Life Without You reaction you did last wk..

Look for a video of him playing folk guitar.
Now that sounds interesting

Incredible right? Awesome!
Switched guitars and didn't bat an eye.Still played guitar with a broken string until he reached a point he could change and there was no difference between sound.
The keyboard player Reese Wynans now plays with Joe Bonomassa another great guitar player maybe worth a listen
SRV, Carlos Eric Eddie and if course Jimi are guitar Gods0
Don't forget Jimmy Page!
Vaughan.
Hey bro, try SRV on the Jimmy Hendrix song Voodoo child. If your jaw doesn't drop it must be bolted on. Good luck.
He played with 12 gauge guitar strings.
As you like your guitarists, you should try Rory Gallagher - Tattoo’d Lady, A Million Miles Away, Bullfrog Blue all great tracks
Man, Stevie ABUSED those thick strings. He broke A LOT of strings over the years. Looks like he had TONS of practice by the time they filmed this video.
The same keyboard player Reese
Nope..the keyboard player im talking about was much older.Maybe he's not Steve's key boardist

You did Connie? 😲😲😳 you made a black guy blush! I gave you a mention in one of my upcoming videos..watch out 😀
@@HarriBestReactions aaawwwwwhhhhh❤️❤️❤️. I watch all of them. So I can’t wait!
@@conniehorton1981 Just make sure you watch the SRV ones especially
@@HarriBestReactions ABSOLUTELY ❤️❤️❤️
Not the most show-offy performance, but I always enjoyed SRV & Double Trouble performing "Say What" on SNL. Still one of my favorite tracks.
Not gangster….STEVIE RAY😁
srv dirty pool pls
Reese Wynans is amazing, the guitarist ain't bad either.. ♠W.G.
Still Reese on the organ. There is no replacement for him. Spot on otherwise.
