We all know his guitar skills are sublime, but I feel his overall performance is often taken for granted. Stevie's style, writing skills, and voice are also one of kind! He passed way too soon! 👍✌
You from Dallas? Bands would play at the old sportatorium where wrestling was big in dallas. He'd come up there and jam with us or whoever was playing he liked that more personal feel of crowd. But he was really good people man . Oak cliff people. really nice shy dude! I'd see him coming in on their bus at truck stop three o'clock in the morning still holding that strat playing. Unless he was doing something in particular he never put that guitar down. Always playing. Repetition! Like spinning a ball on your finger. Never give up and never stop going at it you get good .
Caught in the Crossfire....SRV blew my mind the first time i heard him and I am forever a fan. My heart broke when he died far too soon. He is a legend.
Love how the host went to shake Stevie's hand and Stevie embraced him. Just a reflection of the openness of this great man. This is from Stevie's album In Step. Alot about his sobriety and the 12 Steps of AA are the inspiration for the title. He's my favorite all around.
Did you ever see the clip of Stevie playing Voodoo Child at the Cotton Club? It was before he got clean. But a fan walks up while he's playing and holds out his hand to shake hands. Stevie actually shakes his hand for a good 10 - 15 seconds, while he's still playing with his left hand.
I saw SRV in Kalamazoo Michigan. He opened for Robert Plant and it was before anyone had heard of Stevie. Everybody was standing there blown away with their jaws on the floor! Glad I got to see him while he was still with us. ✌💀👍🧠🌌♾🎸🎼🎵🎶❤
HOLY MOLY....anytime I hear SRV my jets fire, and I am in another world!!!!! (( never heard of this show before, and never saw this particular vid before, WHAT A GREAT BAND ))
This was the song that went #1 in the country! He was well on his way to being known for more than just the blues. His drummer Chris and keyboardist Reese wrote this song for him. A fantastic team. Miss that voice and that sound every day...
Thanks for picking this out. I am a big fan and had never seen this performance. I've seen another part of this show when he plays with Maria Mckee. Loved the comment he is going to make your face turn.
Jamel - This was hosted by David Sanborn. Sanborn is THE most prolific session alto saxophonist in history. From playing at Woodstock with Paul Butterfield to the Stones, Springsteen, Todd, and Bowie he was the go to Saxman for artists for 4 decades. His own solo stuff is amazing as well. He also hosted something called Sunday night where he showcased amazing artists from new to old. BTW, the drummer in this band, Omar Hakim was also one of the best fusion drummers in the biz. Most famously played with Weather Report, and other jazz combos but also with Bowie, Sting and many more.
I agree on that! Saw him 4 times 3 up front, first time spring of 1984. He was opening for Huey Lewis And The News....that's like when Jimi Hendrix opened for The Monkees. I miss those general admission ticket days. There will never be another like Stevie !!!
I love Stevie. He always seemed to play with only the most talented musicians, like all of these gentlemen! That bass player was definitely outstanding! He was really driving that thing!
SRV was such a great guitar player and artist...he was called home too early before finishing his tour on earth. We will miss you, but we know you are in a peaceful place now. RIP
I love seeing people Reacting to SRV and seeing how great he was. He is a legend in Texas, he is one of my inspirations to learn how to play guitar. love SRV and Love your Channel my dude.
Shout out to the band.....they dropped right into those two new songs like they recorded them with Stevie. Top-tier session musicians giving Stevie all the love and respect.
Night Music was only on for a short time, and it was on late Friday night, so I didn't watch more than a few shows. Thanks for reacting to this because I've never seen this and it's a great performance! The host was David Sanborn, a sax player who was a regular guest on Late Nite w/David Letterman.
I watch Stevie Ray Vaughan play and on one hand I am so amazed and in awe of his playing ability on the other I am sooo depressed because it makes me realize how much better he is than I will ever be on the guitar...LOL
You can tell how Steve loved to play with other musicians and give them their due. And other musicians love to play with him because he was humble even in his brilliance and they recognized that brilliance. From Living Legends at the time like BB King, Albert King, Albert Lea, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Etc.
His brother Jimmy Vaughn, formerly of the Fabulous Thunderbirds played second guitar on the album version. Hiram Bullock (RIP) is playing Jimmy’s parts. I’ve seen this clip before and it never gets old.
That entire ensemble's performance was EPIC! And Stevie is always EPIC! They all looked like they were having so much fun! That was excellent, Jamel! Thank you! ;-)
I miss this man so much, it honestly hurts me that God took him way too soon Stevie Ray Vaughan was and always will be a LEGEND I love that younger generations find his music to be as EPIC as mine did ❤😢🙏
Man, talk about the real deal. All the band members knew it, and they were great musicians themselves....but SRV was once in a lifetime kind of player.
Fun facts: Whipper and Tommy wrote this, I believe while Stevie was in rehab. Stevie didn't like it much at first but it became their highest charting song. Travis walk is based on where he lived once. When he got out of rehab, he lived with his mother, Martha, for a while. He then moved to Travis Street in Dallas. The lady who lives there now is pretty cool. She's been known to let fans in to look around and she supposedly still has a couch that belonged to Stevie.
Man...I miss Stevie Ray, so damned much. He was so frickin' talented and had so much more to show us. All these years later and I still listen to him! Ain't a lot of Bluesmen that come close to him. But my favourite musicians/band are on the wall to your right! Rush Still Rules!
This is the same show you saw Jeff Healey on, hosted by alto sax legend David Sanborn. Both Sanborn and guitarist H.Bullock played in the band on David Letterman's Late Show in the 80's. If you look up Sanborn it lists around 50 albums he has played on, besides his own albums, and writing the music for 3 Lethal Weapons movies.
Glad you wrote this, saves me time 😁 Seen plenty from this show with Miles Davis, Marcus Miller, Bootsy etc. 'Straight to the Heart' by David Sanborn and Hiram on guitar.. So cool! 🎷 🎸 🎶 👍🏼
This is one of my favorite Stevie Ray Vaughan songs among some others. Thanks for doing this reaction since no matter which videos you react to whether they are music or even Bill Burr or other comedy reactions I enjoy your great sense of humor when you react to almost anything it's still fun and entertaining to watch your videos. Jamel is the funniest reactor since other reactors channels don't make me laugh as much as Jamel does nearly every time I watch his videos.
Damn I miss Stevie Ray Vaughn. I bought the Couldn't Stand The Weather cassette tape in a bargain bin for a dollar because it had the cover of Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) and was an instant fan. I called my friend up and told him about the album and he became an instant fan as well. My brother got to see SRV I would guess about thirty times, if he played five shows in or around Detroit my brother went to every one of them. I never got to see SRV live but thank God for videos. I know it's not the same but I will settle for them. Side note: Hiram Bullock used to play in the David Letterman Show Band. R.I.P to both SRV and HB. Now I'm going to watch your BB King reaction. R.I.P to BB as well.
Thanks Jamal, you are my spirit brother!! Makes me so very happy and so very sad when I listen to Stevie Ray, his music and the way he plays that guitar...!! Makes my soul sing. Was blessed and fortunate enough to see him live, twice. Amazing! Last show, Jeff Beck opened up for him, what a concert!!..
It never ceases to amaze me how something that other people would find difficult to do seems so effortless to him & other phenomenal musicians. We are so blessed to have these musical geniuses living amongst us.
The host is the great David Sanborn. Most of the musicians on stage were legends in their own right from various Jazz Fusion bands, solo work, and hundred of sessions each across multiple genres.
He was one of my husband's favorites. My husband and I got to see him at the Wax Museum, a relatively small venue in DC, just after his second album came out.
Been listening to him since day 1 praying for 100 more years to listen to this talented gift from GOD which is what SRV was.Thank You Mr.Jamel.Rock On Bruthr.Luv the Reactions. BTW.. Get a chance hear Leave My Little Girl Alone.Mindblowing Good.
Stevie always brings the heat!!! The band was good but Double Trouble are the best. Night Music has several videos on TH-cam with various stars from Miles Davis to Red Hot Chili Peppers. Search Night Music Show.... Look for Jeff Healey - See The Light 1988. Jeff pulled out all the tricks on this version, even played with his teeth!!!
All right! I thought I'd seen all of his guest appearances but here's one that's new to me. That house band kept u pretty well with Stevie. Nice reaction, Jamel, Stank Face and all!
Crossfire was written by Double Trouble and Stevie Ray Vaughan's only #1 hit of his 7 yr career which to me was insane because there were so many great songs from Stevie Ray. Life Without You, Texas Flood, Tightrope, Pride And Joy just to name a few. With him being in The Austin Music Hall Of Fame, The Blues Hall Of Fame, 6 Grammys, 10 Austin Music Awards, 5 W.C.Handy Awards, Entertainer Of The Year, Instermental Of The Year and in 2015 The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. In only a 7 yr span you would think he would have had more #1 hits. STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN IS THE GOAT
At first I didn't think you noticed the bass player braking the string on his bass, so I watched it again, should have known you'd catch it. Your reactions, even years later are absolutely priceless my brother.
We all know his guitar skills are sublime, but I feel his overall performance is often taken for granted. Stevie's style, writing skills, and voice are also one of kind! He passed way too soon! 👍✌
Vocals are off the charts for real, his playing abilities overshadowed how elite he was as a front man as well!
You from Dallas? Bands would play at the old sportatorium where wrestling was big in dallas.
He'd come up there and jam with us or whoever was playing he liked that more personal feel of crowd. But he was really good people man . Oak cliff people. really nice shy dude!

@@terrywyatt8304 He got great! Sorry, from that wonderful Sate of CA with a Texas mindset! 😁👍✌
Caught in the Crossfire....SRV blew my mind the first time i heard him and I am forever a fan. My heart broke when he died far too soon. He is a legend.
That whole band drove home that night with smiles.
Once he got clean, his vocals were elevated enormously. He sounded fantastic.

@@wolfe6220 yes incredible! A total Ninja move
@@wolfe6220 I have seen the video. It's great guy who doesn't skip a beat. I couldn't believe it when I first saw it.
I saw SRV in Kalamazoo Michigan.
He opened for Robert Plant and it was before anyone had heard of Stevie. Everybody was standing there blown away with their jaws on the floor! Glad I got to see him while he was still with us.
✌💀👍🧠🌌♾🎸🎼🎵🎶❤
HOLY MOLY....anytime I hear SRV my jets fire, and I am in another world!!!!! (( never heard of this show before, and never saw this particular vid before, WHAT A GREAT BAND ))
doubt you'd ever find a bad performance, or even mediocre from him. Always excellent. Kudos to the band, they were having fun with Stevie
This was the song that went #1 in the country! He was well on his way to being known for more than just the blues. His drummer Chris and keyboardist Reese wrote this song for him. A fantastic team. Miss that voice and that sound every day...
It doesn't get better than Stevie. Ever!
Always cracks me up that his decals always held up better than the finish on his guitar did.

I thought he looked familiar!
Hiram Bullum was with Paul Shaffers Late Night Crew for David Letterman's show.
Man oh man. Thanks for the react. Vaughan is incredible. But yet there it is. So it's true.
I got to see him in concert 3 times and one of those times was 20 feet away front dead center! it was a religious experience to say the least!
I agree on that! Saw him 4 times 3 up front, first time spring of 1984. He was opening for Huey Lewis And The News....that's like when Jimi Hendrix opened for The Monkees. I miss those general admission ticket days. There will never be another like Stevie !!!
I'm spent! Mind blown as always when I see me some Stevie Ray!
Thank you Jamel! 👏😎
He was a gift from above....nobody who is anybody could deny his God gifted ability to play guitar... Stevie Ray. .RIP brother...
I love Stevie. He always seemed to play with only the most talented musicians, like all of these gentlemen! That bass player was definitely outstanding! He was really driving that thing!
SRV was such a great guitar player and artist...he was called home too early before finishing his tour on earth. We will miss you, but we know you are in a peaceful place now. RIP
Thank you. I miss him so much. To date, not one can match his skills, clarity, no distortion, just clean playing. The Greatest Ever.
I wouldnt call that clean! His amps were definitely cranked! 😅 with plenty of speaker distortion too!
And i'd dare say some dimed Tubescreamers too.
Love how he hardly looks at the guitar just knows his baby and plays by feeling. One of the best to ever lay cords on the guitar
I love seeing people Reacting to SRV and seeing how great he was. He is a legend in Texas, he is one of my inspirations to learn how to play guitar. love SRV and Love your Channel my dude.
Rock them blues! Wow, great performance of a terrific song.
Shout out to the band.....they dropped right into those two new songs like they recorded them with Stevie. Top-tier session musicians giving Stevie all the love and respect.

Thank You! I saw the host and was like I recognize him from somewhere but could not remember his name.
i think think guitatist Hirem buluk player with paul shaffer on the letterman show for years
You know a musician is great when their live performances are as good--or better--than their studio work! Wow!
He was a Phenomen 💙🥰🤘 My Love of Blues began at 11 yrs old, my cousin brought me to see...JOHNNY WINTER, Mean Town blues was absolutely breathtaking !
Just seeing Stevie in action in this video with his beloved #1 made my day :-)
I got to see Stevie 4 times and every time was magic
when Stevie hits that one note 20 times in a row - it always gives me the chills!!!!!!! simplicity, originality, passion................r.i.p.
I watch Stevie Ray Vaughan play and on one hand I am so amazed and in awe of his playing ability on the other I am sooo depressed because it makes me realize how much better he is than I will ever be on the guitar...LOL
One of the best songs ever recorded. SRV was on fire!
If you watch any great blues player they never look at their hands or guitar. They feel what they're playing and let it flow. Rest in peace Stevie.
The legend is that it was hard to sell front row SRV show seats....because people would burst into flames from his playing.😎
So much blues and soul oozing out of this man...GOAT with the guitar...🔥🔥
You can tell how Steve loved to play with other musicians and give them their due. And other musicians love to play with him because he was humble even in his brilliance and they recognized that brilliance. From Living Legends at the time like BB King, Albert King, Albert Lea, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Etc.
The whole band was great love the performance shout out to all those people on stage they killed it
If you're fully listening, you will have stank face during SRV's performances. Man, he was amazing!
Stevie Ray clean and sober and solid as ever ... he beat his demons before his untimely death
Man i love this version of Crossfire. Solid musicians.... Love Stevie Ray ❤
His brother Jimmy Vaughn, formerly of the Fabulous Thunderbirds played second guitar on the album version. Hiram Bullock (RIP) is playing Jimmy’s parts. I’ve seen this clip before and it never gets old.
He is THE G.O.A.T. I was there that fateful night, August 26th, 1990. Clapton was the headliner but I went for SRV.
The whole band and of course Stevie were all fire!!!! Incredible :)
Listening to Stevie Ray never gets old. Tom Barney (bass) and Omar Hakim (drums) also played on the Jeff Healy See The Light Video feat. Dr. John.
Now you're really bringing the fire! He's one of a kind and the most humble person to ever share his gift with us!
Aloha 🌺 Thank you! Wonderful to see talented people jive! 🥰
That entire ensemble's performance was EPIC! And Stevie is always EPIC! They all looked like they were having so much fun! That was excellent, Jamel! Thank you! ;-)
I miss this man so much, it honestly hurts me that God took him way too soon Stevie Ray Vaughan was and always will be a LEGEND I love that younger generations find his music to be as EPIC as mine did ❤😢🙏
That was one very tight set! Wow!...such greatness gathered on one stage...these kid's play very well together! Ty brother Jamel
There is always time to listen to Stevie Ray Vaughan. Love it !
Happy birthday Stevie..... Thank you, for all the love you passed our way.
Man, talk about the real deal. All the band members knew it, and they were great musicians themselves....but SRV was once in a lifetime kind of player.
My fave Stevie Ray song. It just rocks.
One of my favorites from SRV. Awesome performance for sure!

Great reaction! Tom Barney, the bass player, toured with Steely Dan starting in the early 2000’s!
I love this clip, have to go back every now and then and revisit it. Stevie killed it here and the band was killer as well, great performance.
Man...I miss Stevie Ray, so damned much. He was so frickin' talented and had so much more to show us. All these years later and I still listen to him! Ain't a lot of Bluesmen that come close to him. But my favourite musicians/band are on the wall to your right! Rush Still Rules!
It's so funny how when Stevie Ray is on stage all the other Musicians look like they are having the time of their lives.
Absolutely loved this, it was fire!
Clean & sober & still played like a man on fire! 💕🔥🎸✌
And that, is how you do THAT. We miss you SO much, RIP SRV.
Not only was Stevie Ray awesome but the band was bloody brilliant too. Guys that was a proper JAM
Everyone on stage earned a paycheck that night❤
This entire album was FIRE. RIP Stevie Ray
Always great to hear the one and only SRV!!!
Never got to see him live; but I can imagine hearing him as you pass a roadhouse he's blastin'.
my favorite of his. such a talent. Good band

In the first song, that bass player was slapping the $%^& outta that thing. He popped his B string! They all sounded great together!
Thanks Jamal, you are my spirit brother!! Makes me so very happy and so very sad when I listen to Stevie Ray, his music and the way he plays that guitar...!! Makes my soul sing. Was blessed and fortunate enough to see him live, twice. Amazing! Last show, Jeff Beck opened up for him, what a concert!!..
I think the last time I heard Crossfire was in the '90s, when I was about 7! I love the jammin' in this video. Great reaction!!
It never ceases to amaze me how something that other people would find difficult to do seems so effortless to him & other phenomenal musicians.
We are so blessed to have these musical geniuses living amongst us.
Love luv love Stevie Ray Vaughn.
I haven't heard this one in a while. Awesome song!❤
The host is the great David Sanborn.
Most of the musicians on stage were legends in their own right from various Jazz Fusion bands, solo work, and hundred of sessions each across multiple genres.
I loved a comment that BB King said of SRV when he first say him play " who the hell is this white boy" that coming from BB says it all
Love your channel Jamal and I love it even more when you play SRV. So sorry he left so soon. Thanks for your hard work!!!!
Magician ...pure and simple ☘
Omar on drums is from the jazz fusion group Weather Report...he is phenomenal 💓
Back in elite 80s early 90s I saw Stevie Ray Vaughan at the University of Connecticut for spring weekend simply incredible and boy does time fly
Every time I see one his videos, I mourn for the talent lost too soon. Just smokin'
Outstanding. Thank you.
He was one of my husband's favorites. My husband and I got to see him at the Wax Museum, a relatively small venue in DC, just after his second album came out.
Wow.
^ jealous
Listening to SRV just feels like home to me now. How did he do it?
Magic. 😊✌💙

The man. The myth. The legend.
That's quite a house band - every last one of those guys is a legendary session player.
All right! I thought I'd seen all of his guest appearances but here's one that's new to me. That house band kept u pretty well with Stevie. Nice reaction, Jamel, Stank Face and all!
First song by SRV I ever heard! 💙💙💙
SRV to me is the Miles Davis, of rock, you don't know what you what you have till' there they gone" God bless them all!
Wow... 1989... that's the year I graduated HS! 😳 This performance was so great! Sounded so different with this band but very awesome!

I was 20 when Stevie died in 1990, and with the one exception of Jim Henson earlier that year, no celebrity death has ever upset me more.
It's just awesome watching srv . ..
Just INCREDIBLE!
At first I didn't think you noticed the bass player braking the string on his bass, so I watched it again, should have known you'd catch it. Your reactions, even years later are absolutely priceless my brother.
