Jamel_AKA_Jamal. Jamel, you've been playing some wild and exotic stuff lately. It's time to take that step across the line into Bizarre-O-Land. Please give a listen to "Aladdin Sane" by David Bowie. Starts out so smooth and chill, and then......
We all know Stevie brought that outer space vibe as perfectly as Jimi. But can we discuss Tommy Shannon holding down that Noel Redding bass rhythm and Chris Layton absolutely KILLING IT on that Mitch Mitchell drum part. Layton's drums are Fantastic!
They went on to play with Storyville and Malford Milligan on vocals. It was a highly underrated band with great songs like "Bluest Eyes". Everyone in that band was legit and well known in Austin music circles as well as touring musicians.
@@Easy_Skanking yep my friend Mike Ingalls played with them for a while early 2000's pretty nice guys always on local radio doing benefit concerts and being the rhythm section for all kinds of folks
When the original Hendrix records came out, other guitarists drove themselves nuts trying to figure out how he made some of these crazy sounds. What you see SRV doing is how Jimi played it.
GOOD TO KNOW! The riff with the octaves is also played by Jaco Pastorius in his Slang solo and I always wondered who played it first, Stevie or Jaco. Jaco was also a big Hendrix fan so it all makes sense now.
You think it's crazy then, imagine how crazy everybody thought Jimi Hendrix was nearly 20 years earlier. All of Stevie's theatrics are a straight homage to Jimi and his stage show.
Stevie Ray did a masterful job. It's appropriate to talk about Hendrix here. SRV's homage to Hendrix was not just doing his song, but also doing a lot of Hendrix's tricks and motions with the guitar. And putting his own virtuosity on it. Hendrix was the first guitarist to explore outer space, which opened a new world.
Jamel: @7:30 The person "hiding" behind the amp isn't hiding. He's one of the stage hands there to keep Stevie Ray from knocking the amp over as he plays. This song isn't Stevie Ray, or Jimi, beating up on the guitar. This is them creating the sounds of space and a space ship. It's all intentional. This is a sound painting rather than traditional music or a song structure. They're using a technique called feedback to produce all the wild sounds you hear. The sound coming out of the amplifier speaker causes the guitar strings to vibrate (like they are being played by a human hand.) This is then feedback to the amplifier through the guitar cable and out the speaker again. This produces the high pitch squeals you hear.
@@TheDivayenta A nod to his buddy Dick Dale, the Original Surf Guitarist, who was dying of cancer at the time......but ended up living until only a coupla years ago.... NOT a jab at Surf Music, as it might seem....

Jamal...I've been a subscriber for a looooong time and you really made my day, seriously! So there's 2 Chicago LIVE reactions from Tanglewood 1970 that I know you'll appreciate, not THIS animated but Tery Kath is on a different level, a guy JIMI himself said was THE BEST. "Make me Smile" and 25 or 6 to 4 a d yes, you did the studio version of the latter but the live version is sure to BLOW YOU MIND! Not only can Tery Kath PLAY the guitar but can sing, what a voice and what a loss❗
If you want to hear what a guitar solo that could cut a man's throat sounds like, listen to that song. It's one of the downright angriest guitar solos I've ever heard. It sounds exactly like somebody who caught you with his woman.
SRV is the ONLY one who could do this most difficult Hendrix song any justice. With his ultimate control of his Stratocaster, his amps and feedback SRV nailed a lot of the original sounds Hendrix recorded back in the day that I thought nobody could replicate... then came along SRV. R.I.P. to both. I know they are up there comparing notes and jamming'.
SRV is the only guitar player I've ever heard do Hendrix justice. Though one other guitar player comes close and might be a surprise for some but John Frusciante almost gets there.
Good old Hendrix song; sounds trippy because Jimi's music WAS trippy and very innovative. I've been suggesting Jimi's music for some time, (Axis Bold as Love and Electric Ladyland albums) but I know they're highly copyrighted. Good investment to buy them, imo. An important part of any good music library. You've got to see his performance of "Wild Thing" at the Monterey Pop Festival where Jimi lights his guitar on fire.
Jamel: It's about an alien space ship visiting Earth (third stone from the sun) and all those weird sounds are the sounds of the space ship. Stevie Ray does not sing the lyrics here but here are Jimi's lyrics for this song. Starfleet to scoutship Please give your position, over I'm in orbit around the third planet From the star called the Sun, over May this be Earth? Over Positive it is known To have some form of intelligent species, over I think we should take a look Strange beautiful grass of green With your majestic silver seas Your mysterious mountains I'd wish to see closer May I land my kinky machine Although your world wonders me With your majestic superior cackling hen Your a people I do not understand So to you I wish to put an end And you'll never hear surf music again This song is from the album "Are You Experienced? (UK)", "The Essential Jimi Hendrix, Volumes One And Two" and "Are You Experienced? (US)".
@@marymargaretmoore9034 You're welcome. I figured the lyrics would help Jamel understand the song and what is going on here. I, too, wishJamel could react to all of Jimi's music but his estate keeps tight hold of the copyrights and I understand that.
@@StevenMichals0812 You're welcome. Jimi recorded the first verse, starfleet to scoutship..., at a faster recording speed so when played back at normal speed the voice is slowed down and sounds "woozy," for the lack of a better word, and distorted.
Wasn't that the Monterey Pop Festival where he set his guitar on fire? Lots of SRV's musicality came from Hendrix and I think SRV may be one of the few to play it and get it. He even may have surpassed him in some regards. It's a shame we lost both too young.
I mean JIMI is the man, my favorite but I can't find a live performance anywhere and I wonder if he ever did the song live. That said, if you look closely at THIS performance you can see the spirit of JIMI enter the body of SRV❗😉
Rather SRV and Dick Dale....the Original Surf Guitarist.... And since Dick Dale and Hendrix were good friends, and 3rd Stone paid homage to him, it's only fitting to react to that version!!!
This is Stevie Ray paying homage to Jimi Hendrix and for his performance at the Monterrey Pop Festival in 1967. IMHO Stevie is the GOAT of guitar players.
While i agree that Hendrix and SRV are AMONG the GOAT guitar players, there are plenty of them still around....and who are not with us anymore..... Roy Clark could arguably be called the GOAT..........in any genre.... And, BMFS is right there with them and is still rising... The shit he does on an ACOUSTIC guitar is amazing..... th-cam.com/video/fJmzS_Redh8/w-d-xo.html Watch the whole clip, but the real action starts at 8.00......... th-cam.com/video/ilm2qeJndWo/w-d-xo.html End of story.
This song is a wild trip. Love your reaction lmao The thing he was doing with the guitar is a nod to a legendary moment that his idol, Jimi Hendrix, did while performing Wild Thing at the Monterey Pop Festival where he did a lot of crazy shit with his guitar like this. Legends
You would love SRV jamming with the late and great Jeff Healey (blind guitarist with a unique playing technique ) the song readily available on TH-cam is Look At Little Sister.
When Jeff cuts into his solo Stevie has a look of appreciative joy. Those fellows were hot that night !! Jeff Healey was also a fantastic guitar player. Both he and Steve are gone now...but their music still lives !
Jimi had SO much he was just getting ready to show us. The jazz influences that appealed to him as he grew tired of the show acrobatics, never really got the chance to flower before he died. He did put together some combos and orchestras to work with, and the Band of Gypsies were also much more musically talented in the rhythm section and started to do some exploratory freakouts like this song hints at. Wild stuff!
I was stunned to see that he done all this to his No1 guitar - that's not a spare/backup . It's his main Instrument. Somehow he manages to throw it around without breaking it. Wow.
Stevie Ray Vaughan is one of those artists that is an enigma. You don’t hear a lot about him, but people speak fondly of him when asked. He is an amazing musician! Don’t forget to go back to these songs that you missed, Jamel: Band: Rare Earth. Song: (I Know) I’m Losing You. The 11 minute version. (Great organ in this!) th-cam.com/video/hINtx2E6y6s/w-d-xo.html Band: Average White Band Songs: School Boy Crush(that bass will get you!), Work to Do, A Love of Your Own( that saxophone will bring you home!)this live version is amazing, th-cam.com/video/6F2MZ3CIvd4/w-d-xo.html , Cut the Cake(one of the best live songs ever right here) th-cam.com/video/HNP2L1lnpFE/w-d-xo.html
"Stevie Ray Vaughan is one of those artists that is an enigma. You don’t hear a lot about him, but people speak fondly of him when asked. He is an amazing musician!" Kinda like Billy Strings.......
I had the good fortune to experience SRV, I think in Feb of 1985, about 15 feet from front of audience, live at the COL ballroom in ol Davenport Iowa, where the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Buddy Holly played. That was my awakening to the blues. RIP, SRV and my best buddy Rhonda, who was there with me, she passed 12 hours ago.
It's funny that Joe Diffie did a song called 'Third Rock From the Sun' that is a great track....SRV was definitely the star of his band, but can we take a minute and appreciate how great his bass player and drummer are?...one of the best rhythm sections ever right there...
This is probably the best review I’ve seen you do, brother. You genuinely enjoyed that video so much (as did everyone, I’m sure). I had actually never seen SRV do this song, and had only heard Jimi do it. I think Stevie is one of the few guitarists who can duplicate Hendrix’ unique sound and style to such a degree of excellence. Thanks for reacting to this video.
I saw SRV 2 nights in a row in 1983. At the Moonshadow Saloon in Atlanta and at the University of Georgia student union the next night. He was incredible!
I was so happy when I saw a new SRV from you‼️ I had never seen this one before either! Too much whew. That guitar he called his first wife. He had such a bond and emotion behind that relationship. He said that his "first wife" would scream for him and not at him. 🤟
KGMA JAMEL SRV 🎸I remembered his managers had to trek him down New Zealand to get his A in G for a concert back in USA .Him and Joe Walsh were to busy having great time .
This is an awesome and complex song. You know he had so much fun doing this one. Don’t see many reactors doing this one. It is well deserved to be heard!
This song clip was part of the concert at the El Mocambo Club in Toronto in 1983, the entire performance is sublime. It has been released on video (VHS/DVD) and back in the 1990s, it was released on "import" or "bootleg" CDs from Europe. Two of the European titles released were "G-Ray" and "Hawk on Fire," which captures this performance on CD format.
I get a sense you never listened to Jimi Hendrix's original "Third Stone From The Sun" - SRV wasn't doing comedy. This was homage to someone who made electric guitar what it is today: not just strings on a wooden box, but something magically alive and responsive.
@@intotheblue96 Same. I usually enjoy Jamel's reactions. This really rankled. Stevie Ray Vaughan is not a monkey. This wasn't a circus act. Ambient sound from a guitar playing through a nearby amplifier is detected by the guitar's pickups and sent back through the amp, then picked up again and re-amplified, building in signal strength till you hear what's called feedback, recycled sound. Prior to Jimi Hendrix, this was an annoyance, a problem to fix by turning away from the amp, turning down the volume. Hendrix took it the other way. Pure wizardry: He turned in towards the amps, varied his proximity, raised his volume - he learned to modulate the strength, tone, and pitch of the signal, applied it to the overtones, the harmonics. He turned that sustained wave of energy riding between his guitar and amp into a workable, responsive field of sound. Not a monkey. Not a circus act.
@@cstarv Agree. Jamel brings great music to the awarness of so many, for which i am genuinely appreciative. As i said, "i usually enjoy Jamel's reactions". I just don't like seeing artists presented as clowns. If i showed up at a classical violinist's concert and laughed and hooted all the way through his solos, i'd be thrown out on my head. And no one would accuse the bouncers of being overly sensitive.
Love your channel and SRV! In case you haven’t heard, SRV’s album Texas Flood is going into the 2021 Grammy Hall of Fame. I was so glad to hear it getting that recognition ❤️.
Stevie Ray and Jimi Hendrix really transformed the art of music, it was unprecedented! Both were incredible artists! Not many can reproduce their music.
SRV did a great job covering this. Original was by The Jimi Hendrix Experience from their album Are You Experienced (1967). SRV was clearly a huge fan of Hendrix.
This was Stevie giving those of us not lucky enough to see Jimi Hendrix, the experience to witness what Jimi did live. The only difference is Stevie didn't set his guitar on fire . A Master paying homage to a Master with a cover R.i.P. to two people that changed not only guitar but music as a whole .
SRV was a huge Hendrix fan... it shows the confidence SRV had and doing a cover of Hendrix classics! Not a copycat version but a tribute to the original with a spin that is all SRV! Don't forget the original, listen to the cover and appreciate them both!
WOW! At first, I thought he was about to work the tremolo off; later, I wondered if the manufacturers used that performance as a proof of durability ad.
Something to keep in mind... this is only the outro section of the song by Hendrix. There is a whole melodic spacey section with lyrics at the beginning that adds more context to the whole tune. SRV was a huge Hendrix fan and this was a fine tribute to his idol with an added nod to Jimi’s performance at Monterey Pop.
Watching SRV perform is no different than watching any of the other arts great masters at work. The audience get so caught up in what's happening on stage that they can only sit and listen.
We used to play Third Stone From Sun right after Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen song by Santana back to back. We played it on D rather then the key of E. The bassline and percussion worked perfectly.
It's absolutely amazing that the guitar survived all of this, repeatedly. It's also probably the "most valuable" guitar on the planet, if it were to ever be sold.

I was so happy when I saw a new SRV from you‼️ I had never seen this one before either! Too much whew. That guitar he called his first wife. He had such a bond and emotion behind that relationship. He said that his "first wife" would scream for him and not at him. 🤟

SRV 🎸I remembered his managers had to trek him down New Zealand to get his A in G for a concert back in USA .Him and Joe Walsh were to busy having great time .
This is an awesome and complex song. You know he had so much fun doing this one. Don’t see many reactors doing this one. It is well deserved to be heard!
He’s going nuts on the guitar, the drummers going nuts, and the bass player just plays the same four notes over and over again lol
Jamel you seemed wired here lmao They're covering and paying homage to Jimi Hendrix here, not messing around or doing a sound check.
This song clip was part of the concert at the El Mocambo Club in Toronto in 1983, the entire performance is sublime. It has been released on video (VHS/DVD) and back in the 1990s, it was released on "import" or "bootleg" CDs from Europe. Two of the European titles released were "G-Ray" and "Hawk on Fire," which captures this performance on CD format.
Now this is what I'm talking about . Great musician , great song , = great reaction .
I get a sense you never listened to Jimi Hendrix's original "Third Stone From The Sun" - SRV wasn't doing comedy. This was homage to someone who made electric guitar what it is today: not just strings on a wooden box, but something magically alive and responsive.
It really bothered me how Jamel kept laughing. Normally he "gets it", but this time he completely missed it. He seems drunk in this reaction.

Same. I usually enjoy Jamel's reactions. This really rankled.
Stevie Ray Vaughan is not a monkey. This wasn't a circus act.
Ambient sound from a guitar playing through a nearby amplifier is detected by the guitar's pickups and sent back through the amp, then picked up again and re-amplified, building in signal strength till you hear what's called feedback, recycled sound.
Prior to Jimi Hendrix, this was an annoyance, a problem to fix by turning away from the amp, turning down the volume.
Hendrix took it the other way. Pure wizardry:
He turned in towards the amps, varied his proximity, raised his volume - he learned to modulate the strength, tone, and pitch of the signal, applied it to the overtones, the harmonics. He turned that sustained wave of energy riding between his guitar and amp into a workable, responsive field of sound.
Not a monkey. Not a circus act.
No hate on him. He's bringing great music to people that didn't have the exposure to this music. No need to be so sensitive about it.

Agree. Jamel brings great music to the awarness of so many, for which i am genuinely appreciative. As i said, "i usually enjoy Jamel's reactions". I just don't like seeing artists presented as clowns.
If i showed up at a classical violinist's concert and laughed and hooted all the way through his solos, i'd be thrown out on my head. And no one would accuse the bouncers of being overly sensitive.
I think y'all misinterpreted Jamel's reaction. He's not laughing at SRV. He's giddy with joy and excitement.
Love your channel and SRV! In case you haven’t heard, SRV’s album Texas Flood is going into the 2021 Grammy Hall of Fame. I was so glad to hear it getting that recognition ❤️.
OMG , you guys really need to do Texae Flood, live , at El Mocambo ❤❤❤🎸🎸🎸🎸 kills every thing before and after 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Stevie Ray and Jimi Hendrix really transformed the art of music, it was unprecedented! Both were incredible artists! Not many can reproduce their music.
Mind-blowing. It's like Jimi was playing behind the stage. He channeled Jimi like no one else ever did.
SRV did a great job covering this. Original was by The Jimi Hendrix Experience from their album Are You Experienced (1967). SRV was clearly a huge fan of Hendrix.
You have to watch the whole performance. It is one his best ever.
Awesome 1983 song by this great artist! Gotta luv Stevie Ray Vaughan!
My Stevie is not playin' around he knows exactly what he's doin'.
Your expressions & reactions are on point Jamel
The fact that you’re even reacting to this video is awesome
Yes!!!!!!
You need to do SRV's "Mary Had a Little Lamb" (epic song) and another song he plays with his brother... two guitarists with only one guitar
Pipeline! Amazing song, just wish the video quality was a bit better.
This was from a concert he did in my town Toronto in Canada at a historic club in T.O called the Elmacombo.
This was Stevie giving those of us not lucky enough to see Jimi Hendrix, the experience to witness what Jimi did live. The only difference is Stevie didn't set his guitar on fire . A Master paying homage to a Master with a cover R.i.P. to two people that changed not only guitar but music as a whole .
SRV was a huge Hendrix fan... it shows the confidence SRV had and doing a cover of Hendrix classics! Not a copycat version but a tribute to the original with a spin that is all SRV! Don't forget the original, listen to the cover and appreciate them both!
You must do Jimi Hendrix’s’ version!
I think everything JHE gets blocked
I don't believe that Jimi ever did a concert version of it. I'd vote for the audio , though.
@@tannerboyle9423 true but he could upload to his other account 🤷🏻♀️
@@gustovcarl3 it’s a studio version but it’s always been one of my favorites
@@muriel2267 if he wanted he could do from Apple music or something not sure if it's get banned though
As much as Stevie loved Jimi he probably admired Jimmie (his big brother) even more. It's a Hendrix song if you didn't know.
WOW! At first, I thought he was about to work the tremolo off; later, I wondered if the manufacturers used that performance as a proof of durability ad.
Since you enjoyed this. Listen to Machine Gun by Hendrix on Live at Fillmore East 1970. Amazing guitar solo/playing by the master.
This is a tribute to Jimi Hendrix, Stevie would never intentionally hurt # 1,his true first love.
Stevie Ray Vaughan = G.O.A.T.
i witnessed this mind bender played by SRV in 82 in a club in Houston with 30 or 40 other super lucky people
Something to keep in mind... this is only the outro section of the song by Hendrix. There is a whole melodic spacey section with lyrics at the beginning that adds more context to the whole tune. SRV was a huge Hendrix fan and this was a fine tribute to his idol with an added nod to Jimi’s performance at Monterey Pop.
Stevie Ray Jimi Vaughan Hendrix
Thank you for keeping great music alive! How about some more Tedeschi Trucks Band
Stevie Ray set his own standard! This guy was simply incomparable!! Check out Linda Rhonstadt with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra!!
Watching SRV perform is no different than watching any of the other arts great masters at work. The audience get so caught up in what's happening on stage that they can only sit and listen.
WOW! I’m so glad you are doing SRV Sun! This one is wacky and crazy good!
We used to play Third Stone From Sun right after Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen song by Santana back to back. We played it on D rather then the key of E. The bassline and percussion worked perfectly.
"Life without you" 💔love you, SRV!!!
Enjoy Stevie Ray!
Always invision the earth forming and volcanic eruptions
And that guitar is priceless, today...
It's absolutely amazing that the guitar survived all of this, repeatedly. It's also probably the "most valuable" guitar on the planet, if it were to ever be sold.
Anything from live at the El Mocambo I smash the like button.
Watching SRV make all those sounds come out of his guitar reminds me of Edgar Winter and his synthesizer keyboards on "Frankenstein"! Absolute genius!
