You know you’re great when you can take a children’s nursery rhyme and put it to music then have it turn into a badass song. SRV was a gift sent to the music world for us to listen to in awe. He will always be the G.O.A.T
Enjoy your trip down the SRV rabbit hole... Some of us got hooked on him in person, mostly because we are old and from TX. Some of us got hooked later, but one thing is certain. Once you've heard that guy play, you can pick him out of a crowd by just a few notes and you'll never forget.
Reese is just a killer keyboard player. Formerly in Johnny Winter's band (as was Tommy Shannon) and is now playing with Joe Bonamassa. I love watching him play when he's up for a solo! Really an under the radar player but man...he really moves the groove.
A lot of young brothers out there reacting to his music. He'd be SO pleased. He so desperately wanted to help keep the blues alive in an era when electronic music was all the rage. The fact that young people are getting turned on to blues again would thrill him to no end.
This is the way nursery rhymes should be presented to kids. Reese Wynans killing it on the keyboard in this performance as opposed to others here on YT. You got lucky and picked the best version of this song here on YT.
There are some artists that go beyond their genre of music and are universally appreciated for their immense talent. Stevie Ray Vaughn is one of those people.
GROWN to like him? GASP! He floored me the first time I heard him! Glad to see you youngins discovering THEE GOAT. Don't argue with your elders. Who was it at the 2015 Hall of Fame induction of Stevie and Double Trouble who said guitarists like Stevie come along....ONCE IN A LIFETIME. I dunno but to men that sounds like THE GOAT. Good reaction. ;-)
I was fortunate to see him live in May 1990 shortly before he died. He blew everyone away. I felt emotionally drained after the show and I don't think I've experienced anything like that since.
My brother is a professional musician, and he regularly plays with Double Trouble, Stevie's old band. Reese Wynans is amazing on the keys, while Tommy Shannon and Chis Layton hold down the beat. My brother says they're great guys in person, and obviously very talented.
Great story, sure more than just a brush with greatness. The first thing I thought of after you said that they’re great guys, was Stevie getting sober. Sometime soon after Stevie got clean Tommy also got treatment, not sure if Chris was in the same boat, but the whole point was they’re able to live and laugh and be normal decent guys cause they quit drinking and drugging, and they did soon after seeing Stevie get clean and healthy.
Great reaction to the GOAT Stevie Ray Vaughn. I first started listening to him back in the mid 1980's and he blew me away with his " Texas-style Lightening Blues " guitar skills! Now I have every album he and his Band " Double Trouble " recorded and also DVD's that were made after his death... ( ...the first Live recording was on VHS tape...) which brings me to why I started this comment... Search up " Stevie Ray Vaughn " Live at the El Macombo. Since you were blown away by " Mary had a Little Lamb " ... the song to do a reaction to is " Texas Flood " ... the song is sorta lengthy but he plays he " Lightening Fast picking style ( wait for it) BEHIND HIS BACK!!! The Man was truly amazing and there will never be another Stevie Ray Vaughn! R.I.P. Stevie your tens of thousands of fans miss you but ... through the Magic of TH-cam... you will NEVER be forgotten! 👍👍😎
Goosebumps and a few tears even after 30 plus years. Just so much joy in seeing and hearing the best that had ever been. Man I miss SRV. He saved us all from electronic music business garbage for a long time.
Stevie was on a whole other level. I'm not surprised at all that he was honored by city where it all started with a bronze life-sized bust. Even guitar God Eric Clapton was amazed by Stevie's talent. Stevie made music history and was instrumental to inspire many top-notch guitarist who followed in his foot steps. Rest in peace, Stevie. You'll be forever missed...
I had heard him play this many, many times - but I just smiled my face stiff when I heard him change "Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow," (the way he's played it many times) to " Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was black as coal..." God, how I loved (and still do) this man. To be so playful with a nursery rhyme - to turn it inside up, and outside in, and make it a love song - with some of the most beautiful rhythm playing ever (a very, very under-rated skill), and let the keys fly, as the real solo - incredible. Beautiful - just beautiful. And a great reaction - respect, brother.
When Stevie passed away Buddy Guy who wrote this song which is one of my favorites by Stevie was on TV crying he had lost his bet friend and best guitarist he ever knew, I cried too he was the best I was lucky enough to ever see live.
@@deborahdecker7596 Tommy Shannon has been playing bass in Texas Blues since he was a teenager. He started out with the late great Johnny Winter in the late 60's.
Only Stevie Ray could take a nursery rhyme and turn it into a blues masterpiece......lol.....amazing....this guy was a one of a kind musician....the music world misses him big time.
I love Stevie Ray Vaughan and I see everyone is finally reacting to him. Everyone is doing Voodoo Chile and Texas Flood which is great but has anyone done Couldnt Stand the Weather? I vote for Couldnt Stand the Weather!
Couldn't stand the weather Lenny riviera paradise all brilliant. Weren't we lucky to have him even if it was for just alittle while. I agree with you couldn't stand the weather, one of my favorites!!!!!!!!!!!
This is one of my faves. It was so surprising that he did this but it made me smile the whole way through. Never knew a nursery rhyme could be this funky. lol
Reese was a session musician and SRV and Double Trouble were blessed with Reese when they were recording. They liked him so much they asked him to join the band. The rest is blues history!
I don't think he would have strayed too far from The Blues but would have incorporated more Jazz into his music. He was already heading that way with 'Riviera Paradise'.
I love that song too man. Just crazy great. Not in the first two or three Stevie songs typically mentioned but.... As someone mentioned below "Couldn't Stand the Weather" is just ridiculous.
Your open-mindedness and your appreciation of great music, regardless of genre or era, are wonderful to see ..... especially in light of your young age .... I thoroughly enjoy your music reaction videos here on TH-cam .... Keep up the good work !
You GOT to give "Lenny"from the Live at EL Mocambo show a reaction. Slow groove. Gorgeous. Whole different dynamic to his playing. Be prepared to have a baby nine months later after hearing this.
Something I read in a comment section about a week ago but Reese was the keyboardist prior to the forming of the Allman Brothers Band while Duane was convincing Greg to come back from California. Duane and Greg Allman were brothers. Now I haven't verified this yet so you need to check. That plus Tommy the bassist use to play for Johnny Winter. Stevie had some some serious talent backing him up. It's the old saying that the cream always rises to the top.
He’s right. It’s all true. Reese Wynans played with the surviving Allman Brothers Band members in March for the 50th Anniversary Celebration because he was an original member, and you can see Tommy Shannon playing on Johnny and Edgar Winter brothers videos.
Love all of Stevie Ray's performances. My absolute favorite, though, is what I feel is his most beautiful composition: Riviera Paradise. Takes me away to an exquisite, yes--paradisaical, world.
Reece Wymans, best keyboard player I've ever seen. Was Stevie Ray playing in this song? Lol. Mary had a Little Lamb, this is ridiculous. One of my favorites by Stevie
I grew up listening to SRV and was 25 years old when he passed. Luckily I grew up around Austin Texas and got to see him in concert several times. I have been saddened by many of my favorite musicians passing but when he die I WEPT like a baby . Even thinking about it now is choking me up. He was the greatest musician I ever saw in person . Seeing this videos on You Tube is nice and great but seeing him in concert up close was utter mesmerizing ! I swear his playing would put you in a almost trance like state. Glad you have discovered him and spreading the word to how great he was.
Reese Wynans plays the keyboards. He played for Delbert McClinton before Stevie and he now plays with another guitar great, Joe Bonamassa. Listen to Joe and Beth Hart play "I'll Take Care of You" live at the beacon theatre.
Try Voodoo Chile live. He plays ALL THE LEAD and most rhytem behind his back. Not one wrong note. The song itself is hard enough, but behind the back. Impressive. I walked 17 miles to see Stevie in Dallas Tx. With ever sore muscle and the aching feet.
No one will ever replace SRV. THE Texas Blues man. Saw him in Austin TX at Austin City Limits. Just blew me away. The 80s really produced some awesome music.
Who plays both lead guitar 🎸- Rythym guitar 🎸 at the same time, & sing..who????SRV..the one only Make me feel good..every day of the week..he was sent to give us a musical journey, like none other..look at how he touches everyone hearts to this day.he was way ahead of all time.he continues to bless us all to this day.. Reese wynuns came in to compliment, as the greatest key player of all time..they were a team , that loved each other like brothers..there connection, was one of the kind.one of humility, love, and doing good , for all mankind.🙏❤️🎸🎶🎙️💗
Chod! 30 seconds into this song playing in your video, I left. Why? To download this! I also did a download of "Cold Shot" by Stevie Ray Vaughn. But I had to come back to say you thank you so much, and to listen to your reaction. This is the first time I've ever heard this guy. The "Cold Shot" video seems to be from the same show (Austin, TX), and also has Reese Wynans on the organ in that performance. Oh, and I brought back something for y'all from that page, in case you and/or some of your viewers hadn't seen it. It's a little story (slightly paraphrased) that says it all: Here goes: The Devil challenged God to a guitar battle. "OK," God said, "I'm bringing Stevie." "Damn!" muttered the Devil. ..."Never mind."
The sound that made Austin famous right there. More than any other...that deep Fender Austin sound. Fabulous T-bird sound his brother had. 100% Austin...Texas...blues. Quintessential SRV. The sound is immediately recognizable to those that know it regardless of who is playing it. Those chords and riffs...you can smell Austin listening to this song. The ghost of Clifford Antone is in the heavy air. Life is so good and laid back, your almost ashamed to be living it and you wonder why everyone on earth isn't here, but in the back of your mind you know, you don't want them to come and ruin it knowing it can't be kept a secret. But for a time...for a time...it was glorious. Now it's a 'tech town' since the 90's filled with people that think their present is a past they never lived or...forgot. Austin is just another great city torn up by big tech and they don't ...even...realize it. Austin ...the future San Francisco/Silicon Valley. Yeah...and who wants that ? Or maybe a retirement town. Be south Florida. Enjoy your death Austin. You deserve it. Just ...rename it. That's not any Austin I ever knew.....in any ideal or reality. 'Keep Austin Corporate'. Or...'Keep Austin Dallas'. That's better. Houston is the new Texas 'cool'. I don't live there but from 1980 to present I've never seen two cities that 'flipped' being awesome to suck and vice-versa as much as those two cities have. Houston sucked for soooo long...and Austin was paradise. Now...I'd take Houston....all...day...long. Dallas of course...has always been a sack o' dicks. Mark Cuban ? Nuff said....why do you think SRV left ? Because it sucked and always has. My guess is every day he lay there spinning saying...they buried me HERE ? In this shit hole I worked my whole life to get out of ? You ungrateful assholes.
Yall don't understand, .13 strings. Makes most guitar fingers bleed. He broke them . Self taught. Just like jimi Hendrix and Clapton. They played .08 strings. SRV shredded it for 1.5 hour shows
Stevie just became sober prior to this performance on Austin City Limits. He went to rehab and got off of drugs and booze. This was one of his first performances off the stuff and as you can see he didn't need anything to help him play!
I love u man, ur funny....it’s ur education that makes ur funny.....puttin’ Stevie at the end of the list, 🤣😂🤣😂....as an amazing musician ur self, U see things the others don’t, and u also make musician jokes (I’m one too, guitar/fender bass).....f yeah, chod......ive been following u for quite a while, but I’m on an srv kick, and I’m going back, I didn’t know h did so many of srv;s songs, and now I’m just in heaven...keep up the amazing work man....Ur reactions are educational, ive been playing for 30 years, and I still learn stuff (like we all do, life-long), but I learn from ur reactions/insights, it’s amazing, like ive learned stufff about my fave drummer , stewart copeland from u....great stufff, as always
New sub here. I get into your style of reaction. I love that you PAY 100% attention to every note,lyric and performance. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you check out his performance of “Riviera Paradise live in Austin Texas.” He doesn’t shred or has tricks, but his precision and what I call a “grown up” sound. Beautiful stuff.
If you want the ultimate chill song check out "Riviera Paradise". It was recorded in the middle of the night with the lights out and in one take. As soon as the last note died out the tape machine ran out of tape.
I was lucky enough to see him play twice in the 80's, I was totally crushed the day I found out he had died. I was at work and took the rest of the day off.
His Number 1 is a 1969 finder that he modified. I was blessed to hear him play live on his soul to soul tour. He has been compared to jimmy Hendrix as a white Jimmy Hendrix . RIP thank for the music
He was my first show hooked ever sense best guitarist I have ever seen and I have seen Clapton, Eddie Van Halen, Angus Young, David Gillmore just to name a few also a few blue's guitarist this guy just rock's from start to finish.
brings tears to my eyes when i see him play...He is and will always be the GOAT..
Was the one of the goats
Hes one of my guitar idols man, been listening to him since I started as a kid. Shitty he's gone but blessed theres stuff recorded.
@@gerardarrillaga7450 Still is-!

I thought the same thing.
I can't believe it's been 32 years!
No one like him.
Great to see the kids discover the legend.

What I love seeing is people's reactions the first time they discover him is amazing
This is the way nursery rhymes should be presented to kids. Reese Wynans killing it on the keyboard in this performance as opposed to others here on YT. You got lucky and picked the best version of this song here on YT.
What a great addition to Double Trouble, added a whole different dimension to the group.
Reese now plays with Joe Bonomassa
Stevie is The GOAT
He played the guitar
Like it owed him money
RIP ~ SRV
It’s amazing that I’m not the only one who recognizes his incredibility
There are some artists that go beyond their genre of music and are universally appreciated for their immense talent. Stevie Ray Vaughn is one of those people.

Love this!! Best guitarist ever in my opinion! Someday if God gives me children, this is the version of "Mary Had a Little Lamb" they'll hear haha!
The GOAT. There's lots of great guitarists. Stevie was the GOAT.
Love srv he was simply on another level and his music will stand the test of time
I hadn't seen/heard this version before--with the organ----awesome!! I like the way you minimize yourself and bring the live video forward, good job!

Oh yeah. That organ was screaming. Thanks for pointing that out. Stevie has a tendency to overshadow his backup, but they are world-class
Welcome to the world of SRV!
A must-watch SRV vid is "Life Without You" at Capitol Theater. All I can say about it is holy $hit!!!
That riff at the 2:00 mark (about 4:13 in this vid) after Reese's solo is SO beautiful. The greatness of SRV encapsulated in about 12 seconds.
Hendrix
Reese has more time on stage then most people have breathing.
No one mentioned it but the bass player was killin' it!!
@@deborahdecker7596 Tommy Shannon has been playing bass in Texas Blues since he was a teenager. He started out with the late great Johnny Winter in the late 60's.

Reese was a session musician and SRV and Double Trouble were blessed with Reese when they were recording. They liked him so much they asked him to join the band. The rest is blues history!
I have always wondered what music would be like if he hadn't died in 1990
He was that good then how crazy would his playing be now.
I don't think he would have strayed too far from The Blues but would have incorporated more Jazz into his music. He was already heading that way with 'Riviera Paradise'.
I love hearing what other artists said about Stevie Ray's greatest. Such a loss for blues music
At this point(about yr before his death)& completely sober a good 2 years,SRV was at his BEST! He said the difference was his "consistency"!
I love that song too man. Just crazy great. Not in the first two or three Stevie songs typically mentioned but.... As someone mentioned below "Couldn't Stand the Weather" is just ridiculous.
This is what the “Gift” looks like.
Your open-mindedness and your appreciation of great music, regardless of genre or era, are wonderful to see ..... especially in light of your young age .... I thoroughly enjoy your music reaction videos here on TH-cam .... Keep up the good work !
You GOT to give "Lenny"from the Live at EL Mocambo show a reaction. Slow groove. Gorgeous. Whole different dynamic to his playing. Be prepared to have a baby nine months later after hearing this.
Thanks, Wilburn! This is an amazing performance - and once again, Stevie pointing out his keyboardist - Reese Wynans -- incredible!
Reese Wynans is like Android man:two organs at once, never looks-like Stevie during slow part of this-on another planet. Best band SRV🕊

Saw Johnny & Tommy play several times back in the day. Great concerts!
Oh, and saw Steve for the first time when he was about 19...jamming in a BBQ joint, Lou Ann Barton doing vocals.
I saw SRV a couple 100 times in austin, was on stage with him, sat with him...and today watching this video and seeing a new fan really is nice
beautiful tribute to the one and only Stevie Ray...Thanks!

Oooh! Good one.
Best guitar and voice tone ever. SO AWESOME! Brings me back to when I was a much younger man
Stevie is just amazin! Love this one. Just go ahead and listen to all of his stuff!
Fortunately, watching SRV videos give me just enough more joy than sadness so I can still watch them.
No one will ever replace SRV. THE Texas Blues man. Saw him in Austin TX at Austin City Limits. Just blew me away. The 80s really produced some awesome music.
I love your format! Performance takes precedence. You in the corner reacting! BEST way to do these reaction videos! Congrats!
If there ever was someone who deserved it behind his name, Stevie surely does. Stevie the Great.
The best vid of his up close finger play I seen so far.
How I miss man!!!! Just knock your socks off guitarist, singer songwriter. He was a fabulous human being, very rare, very pure.
Originally done by Buddy Guy, called "Goin' To School", SRV and Double Trouble completely owned this as soon as they started performing it.

I’m telling ya man couldn’t stand the weather from the same show is the best by far you’ll love it
Chod! 30 seconds into this song playing in your video, I left.
Why? To download this! I also did a download of "Cold Shot" by Stevie Ray Vaughn. But I had to come back to say you thank you so much, and to listen to your reaction. This is the first time I've ever heard this guy. The "Cold Shot" video seems to be from the same show (Austin, TX), and also has Reese Wynans on the organ in that performance. Oh, and I brought back something for y'all from that page, in case you and/or some of your viewers hadn't seen it. It's a little story (slightly paraphrased) that says it all:

Stevie just became sober prior to this performance on Austin City Limits. He went to rehab and got off of drugs and booze. This was one of his first performances off the stuff and as you can see
he didn't need anything to help him play!
I love the fact that you were smiling the whole time he was playing!! Thats why he played and had great showmanship!!
SRV is one of the few guitar gods that escaped his addiction. Still wound up with too short of a life though
I agree. My new favorite. I'm grinning all over.
Some of best piano ever. Kept up with Stevie
I feel very fortunate to see him in concert back in the day.
He didn’t try to steal the spotlight..That’s Stevie giving his keyboard player time to shine..!
So happy to see you showing the love for SRV. He was an amazing talent and showman! I feel so lucky to have seen him live!
So incredibly blessed that SRV lived! The GOAT.
If gad ever seen him live you would be truly speechless. Thanks so very much for posting!
Yal don’t need me to tell you how good Stevie is, that bassline brought major heat to the mix. Thougg
I love u man, ur funny....it’s ur education that makes ur funny.....puttin’ Stevie at the end of the list, 🤣😂🤣😂....as an amazing musician ur self, U see things the others don’t, and u also make musician jokes (I’m one too, guitar/fender bass).....f yeah, chod......ive been following u for quite a while, but I’m on an srv kick, and I’m going back, I didn’t know h did so many of srv;s songs, and now I’m just in heaven...keep up the amazing work man....Ur reactions are educational, ive been playing for 30 years, and I still learn stuff (like we all do, life-long), but I learn from ur reactions/insights, it’s amazing, like ive learned stufff about my fave drummer , stewart copeland from u....great stufff, as always
New sub here. I get into your style of reaction. I love that you PAY 100% attention to every note,lyric and performance. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you check out his performance of “Riviera Paradise live in Austin Texas.” He doesn’t shred or has tricks, but his precision and what I call a “grown up” sound. Beautiful stuff.
Goosebumps every freaking time
Outstanding jump the jumper of you you heard me Dance have fun
Watch Texas Flood from the concert at the El Mocambo
I love him and this makes me happy to watch the pure joy and it saddens me as well, that we don’t have him anymore.
Love watching you fall deeper and deeper into SRV mania. There's no turning back.
If you want the ultimate chill song check out "Riviera Paradise". It was recorded in the middle of the night with the lights out and in one take. As soon as the last note died out the tape machine ran out of tape.
I was lucky enough to see him play twice in the 80's, I was totally crushed the day I found out he had died. I was at work and took the rest of the day off.
Saw him a couple times...the last time was right before he died at Lake Compounce Amusement Park in CT opening for Joe Cocker...fantastic show
His Number 1 is a 1969 finder that he modified.
I was blessed to hear him play live on his soul to soul tour.
He has been compared to jimmy Hendrix as a white Jimmy Hendrix .
RIP thank for the music
Music is the great uniter, I love seeing young folks discover the greats my generation had to offer.
With out a doubt the greatest guitarist that ever lived!!Bar none!
He was my first show hooked ever sense best guitarist I have ever seen and I have seen Clapton, Eddie Van Halen, Angus Young, David Gillmore just to name a few also a few blue's guitarist this guy just rock's from start to finish.
Bass player all in it too!!!
