B.B. King said that Stevie Ray had conversations with his guitar. He was the best blues guitarist ever.
The legend himself, BB King once said “I've said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed.”
Metal head here.
Stumbled over your channel cause SRV is GOAT. Period.
Heard your comments about haters, yeah, ignore them.
So glad to see you enjoy this legendary artist in his natural form.
One of my favorite things about the way Stevie played is the he couldn't read music...he played what he felt, And it just poured from him..The guitar truly became an extension of his soul...welcome to the world of SRV..
SRV truly statistically was a one in a billion. There are only a handful of people who have lived that can perform Blues at this level.
Music has no boundaries. When it so good it gives you goosebumps, that's amazing!
White woman from New England here, you look young, I would NEVER give you s**t for not hearing him! I cried LITERALLY for two weeks after he was killed. I got to see him twice, in very intimate settings, so close, I knew he saw me! :) That all being said, I appreciate you for looking at this and watching and for your appreciation of what is going down!! Thank you!!
What does your color have to do with anything ?
Lawd... just found this. Quick SRV story: 1977 Dallas TX at my fave dive bar called The Taboo Room on Lemon and Lomo Alto for a hair of the dog that bit me the night before. They had open jam sessions on Sundays... in walks a guy with his guitar and for 2 hours everyone was stuck to their chairs by his g-force. This was during his ascention and before Bowie heard him and shot him into the stratosphere. I forgot my hangover and never forgot him.
BP I'm so glad you noticed how SRV handled his guitar. He didn't 'play' it, he fondled it into submission. I've never seen a guitarist before or since where fingers and fret resonated like lovers. He was a beast, and is sorely missed... but what a legacy! RIP
There’s a reason so many call him the GOAT. Between the vocals, the showmanship, the absolutely insane guitar skills, and the just genuine authenticity that exuded from this man, there are few that have ever displayed this combination! Taken way too soon, this was the first true loss that wasn’t friend or family that I had as a 13 year old. RIP SRV
"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
That's a helluva compliment to SRV's legacy...is it from the biography video?
Don’t worry about the haters. SRV is the GOAT. The fact that you get that after only 2 videos is awesome.
Seeing Stevie Ray go off on a solo rampage for the first time is about as close to a religious experience as any of us will ever get. He was the GOAT
If you're going to get into SRV and electric blues, I highly recommend "Albert King & Stevie Ray Vaughan In Session 1983" they both end up breaking strings near the end and the whole thing is just a trip.
Yes I own the cd and dvd, I live a short distance from Lovejoy, Illinois where Albert lived. Got to see him on a Sunday afternoon in the 60's for a $0.25 ticket. Jim
I’m appalled at those who criticized you. You’ve been nothing but respectful to Stevie and I am so sorry. Thank you for opening your heart and soul to Stevie, his band, and their music. You mentioned Stevie’s band, “Double Trouble.” To really hear them jammin’ check out “Mary Had a Little Lamb” from the 1989 Austin performance. It is FIRE! Stevie was as humble and kind as he was talented, by the way. I was blessed to have spent time with him from 1987-1990. Treasured memories. ❤Donna G
Literally wearing my vintage Albert King tee while reading your comment. The synchronicity is crazy.
Tin Pan Ally is just amazing
You will FEEL this one. ❤ hope you react to it. 😎
Screw the haters! Thanks for covering my hero.
Speaking of flow state, Eric Clapton once said after hearing SRV play that he was afraid to share a stage with him, admitting that he had to think about where he was going in his riffs as opposed to SRV, who never stopped to think- the music just flowed from him. In terms of level of difficulty, he was playing riffs behind his back that 99% of guitarists can't play at all.
Stevie took Eric Clapton's seat on that helicopter.. I hated Eric for so long after that.sounds silly now but I was young and devastated when he died. I saw his last concert in NY. He had just got his life cleaned up and was touring with Eric Clapton. 😢
For me ,Stevie Ray's genius lies in the fact that for all his spectacular technical skills, he was never anything less than musical. Sure he could revel in showing off, but it was never at the expense of the music.I doubt anyone ever had to tell him that music is what happens *between* the notes, I think every cell of his body just knew it.
I’m so sorry people were unkind to you. Your reaction is genuine and very flattering. Stevie was a kind, gentle man, as humble as he was talented. Here’s another amazing performance: @“Mary Had a Little Lamb” from Austin 1989. Fire. ❤Donna G
You need to check out the he video live without a net by Van Halen. Eruption guitar solo. Best ever!
It's one thing to play the guitar behind your back; another thing to do it as well as this; then another thing still to do it on a guitar with incredibly high action and heavy gauge strings as Stevie did. His hand and finger strength and overall physicality are legendary. SRV was simply the best.
Amen.
Exactly! Very few even know that he played with such large diameter strings and higher action, distance between the strings & fret, than on most other guitars.
AND THEN SING WHILE DOING ALL THAT TOO.
I had heard that he even put piano strings on his guitars to get sounds that regular strings didn't give him. As well as heavy guitar strings.😊
This was filmed in Toronto Canada. My uncle once went to Healey's, Jeff Healey's bar in Toronto, to hear him play and SRV walked in and joined him on stage! He was only like 3 feet away from these legends! How I wish I was with him!
Stevie was one of the guitar greats. He left his whole soul on the stage.
honestly, he's #1 for me.
@@ncommerce
Number one for me. And I've seen a lot of the greats live. Johnny Winter, Roy Buchanan, Clapton, Santana, Leslie West, Buddy Guy, Lonnie Mack, Johnny Copeland, Jerry Garcia, Carlos Montoya. Stevie blew them all away. I got to see Stevie 7 times. From a club/bar show at 'My Father's Place' to Madison Square Garden. Bob Marley was great too.
God how I miss him.
Texas Blues with great soul. Love me some SRV.
It’s not disrespectful-- it’s cool as hell that you are expanding your musical horizons.
You can see that he stepped up to the mic to start his verse but the guitar took him over and he kept playing. You can then see him and the bassist kinda laugh, like it's "outta my hands". So good.
Haha!, thought I was the only one that noticed that! 😊
Stevie's a guitar GOD! And now he's in heaven where he belongs -- back home playing for the Universe.
STEVIE is the definition of Texas Blues
BB King and Stevie were great friends! BB said Stevie was the greatest blues guitarist ever!
"Don't let the bastards get you down." John Wayne
My favourite artist of all time.
Stevie keeps his eyes closed 95% of the time!!!😮❤
I saw him in the early 80's, I was front row center of the stage, I have been a fan ever since. I believe that he is not only the best, but 1 steep above all the greats. I think Jeff Beck is 2nd and everyone else is slightly behind the two of them. I love your approach to this music, there are so many great musicians and songwriters in every genre that are priceless, that transcend race, culture, or geography. To appreciate this is one step toward unity.
Thank You, Mark Gates
I met SRV in Eckards in Austin, Texas. He was a friendly guy and I was seeing him that night perform. His last performance before going down in a helicopter crash. Epic guitar player and a good man who came through some tough times in life. Love the guy.
I have huge respect for you exploring other genres, and doing so in a very thoughtful way...unlike a lot of reaction creators, you have a lot to say that is meaningful and relevant. I am less tied to genre and more tied to the emotion expressed by the musicians...so I love things from many genres and styles. This was a joy to watch! Thank you!
I was lucky enough to have grown up 20 miles from where Stevie grew up (Oak Cliff, Texas) and had the privilege of seeing him several times. I saw him at The Bronco Bowl (half bowling alley, half music venue) in Oak Cliff on one night, and then me and a friend drove down to The Austin Convention Center to see him again the next night. Us Texans are VERY proud of Stevie. I was in the hospital after the birth of my daughter when I heard of his death in a helicopter crash...I Cried hard. You should watch a documentary of his life. There is no man more humble than Stevie Ray Vaughan. He overcame a lot. Ended in a great place. Then died. RIP Stevie...we love ya.
Stevie has a song entitled "Life Without You" about his friend who passed. Our life is less without you, Stevie. RIP.
I cry every time on that one
Life without you, a must watch. Don't blink, there's a guitar CHANGE early on.
Stevie was one of those rare guitar savants… R.I.P…taken way to soon.
I’m a 63 year old man , i love to hear reactions From younger generations.!
You can tell how hard it is to play like this by the fact there hasn’t been anyone in this great big world since Stevie left us that can play like him.
Your right about SRV's bandmates, who were phenomenal. Stevie Ray never played a song the same way twice, so they had to be able to support him wherever the music took them. And, unlike most touring artists, SRV and Double Trouble never, ever had a set list. What they played and when they played it happened organically in real time. A lot of musicians couldn't take that kind of pressure and uncertainty but Double Trouble thrived on it.
Your face when he went behind his back gave me pure joy like seeing it for the first time all over again.
I have been playing guitar for 30 years and studying Stevie for almost as long and I can tell you that this performance is one of the greatest ever recorded.
And also - F**K the haters. I'm a new subscriber and I LOVE your reactions and that you are exploring music outside of your comfort zone.
Jeff Healey is also one of the GOATS of electric blues. CHeck out a video of Jeff and Stevie playing TOGETHER called "Look at Little Sister".
I have mad respect and love for hip-hop too (I grew up in the 80's on LL Cool J, Rakim, KRS One, Run DMC, Beastie Boys). Keep doin your thing my man. It's awesome :)
This is Jordan, this is Bolt, this is Hamilton, this is Messi, this is Freddie, this is pure art, this is for lives lost at their peak, this is something you can you can never replicate.
It's an amazingly impressive video to the non guitarists, but I can confirm on all behalf of the guitarists that we cannot begin to fathom how impressive this performance is. BTW! Jeff Healey and SRV have live recordings together and i recommend that you listen them both play "Look at Little Sister" next.
You have shown Stevie all the respect you possible could do! I am sure he is smiling down at You!!!❤❤❤
Stevie was the singer and lead guitarist for the band Double Trouble. He was so good at his job that most people fail to acknowledge the two other band members that made this thing work. They were friends and true partners in their music and every time Stevie was being enticed by managers and producers to leave his friends behind to advance his own career he said NFW. He made sure that they were all paid the same as he was and they were equal partners in everything. He felt, and I also believe, that the sound wouldn't be the same with other musicians. How well do you think you have to know someone to be able to follow them on an impromptu opus like this performance. He's free stylin' and they're sayin' "we got dis, go ahead on!" While you listen to this in the future, and I know you're gonna want to hear it at least one more time to be sure it wasn't a dream, remember that you are hearing just three men making all this music, Tommy Shannon on bass and Chris Layton on what most bands would call a very basic drum kit. Where do you find a three piece band except in your neighbor's garage? And those dudes ain't gonna sound like this.
I didn't see anything but respect from you when you reacted to SRV play Voodoo Child.
Keep up the exploring of different music and different styles. Even if its not what you know and have experienced before there are so many wonderful things to listen to.
I think the best thing I have seen that was written about SRV was from 1982 after the Montreux Jazz Festival.
"He seemed to come out of nowhere, a Zorro-type figure in a riverboat gambler's hat, roaring into the '82 Montreux festival with a '59 Stratocaster at his hip and two flame-throwing sidekicks he called Double Trouble. He had no album, no record contract, no name, but he reduced the stage to a pile of smoking cinders"
The audience had some nixed reaction but those who knew music and blues knew an elemental force was there with them.
I don't know if its your thing but check out something live from Chris Stapleton. Blues, country, soul and jazz all rolled up into one experience.
Peace out! (Yup, old leftover hippy)
Texas blues at its best! I feel so fortunate to have met him. Very humble guy. I have seen him play for 20 minutes straight 🤯 I am just waiting for your mind to be blown.🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 Yep, Stevie and his guitar are one. His band Double Trouble was incredible. Eric Clapton said he was the only one that would be able to make him hang up his guitar. Lol there it is
mind blown hahaha. Great Reaction. Dont listen to the haters.
Thank you for doing this Much love.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
that is incredible that u not only got to meet stevie(not only in my opinion but bb king, billy gibbens, albert king among others) stevie is considered one of the best if not best blues/rock guitarist of all time! my mom got to see him a year after i was born in 1983, and he is one of my biggest inspirations that made me become a musician, guitar, piano, drums! though even after 30 years as a musician..lol i am no where near the caliber of musician that stevie, or his brother jimmie vaughn for that matter!! but what i wouldn't give to have been in your shoes to meet him! like meeting jesus or ghandi!!!
Native Texan.... I will be laid to rest just yards away from Stevie Ray in Laurel Land Cemetery in Dallas, Texas, where my Grandmother, Mother, Sister and Stevie Ray await MY ARRIVAL....
Saw him TWICE! And you do you brother, don’t worry about haters. SRV would never condone their hate.
dude, you got it right. music is universal. thank you for being willing to look at someone like SRV. i appreciate you.
Stevie was taught by all the great black guitar singers and players like Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix and many more you can hear it in his singing and playing that's why he is the G.O.A.T. yes Tommy Shannon on bass and Chris Layton on the drums the trio was extraordinary...
3 piece band, no frills no spills, no autotune, drum machine etc,,etc,,, simply 3 top tier musicians at the top of their game,,,4 piece later on, reese the keyboard guy
If you haven’t yet, then you should also check out the song tin Pan Alley by Stevie Ray Vaughan. It’s another awesome song that’s kind of like Texas flood
Mad respect for going outside of your comfort zone to learn of one of the greatest guitar players of all time. You got another fan!
I love that you have appreciation for all music! I grew up in a "Country" household, but my playlist is all over the place. Hip hop, country, rock and metal all the way back to classical and everything in-between. I love to have a melting pot of music. SRV is a f*ckin legend! From my home state of Texas. Much ❤ B.P.
@KathyBeasley80 the same for me, my Playlists are all over the place, from Baroque all the way through to 2023... my very first musical punches in the stomach : Bach, Haendel, Mozart, ........ ...Blues...Real Dirty......Crooners....................... Hendrix Deep Purple Pink Floyd SRV GUNS n' Fu**ing Roses Not forgetting Operas the Callas, Cecilia Bartoli, Anna Netrebko ..... i could go on for ages... We are so Blessed... Warm Wishes to All a french in France
Mad respect for your heart felt and honest reaction! Disregard the haters, far many more appreciate your open mindedness and boldness to experience new musical genres. Very well done!
Love when people discover new music! Great reaction!!
I've been playing since 1985, and what has absolutely blown my mind about Stevie is his precision and clarity.
To see how good he really was check out the clip ‘Stevie ray sound check’ he walks out tired, yawning, not looking good, hard night… then just hits it like it’s as easy as breathing. Good on ya for stepping out into other worlds, much love brother!
Stevie channeled his soul through his guitar. It's like he was in his own world while playing. He was true to himself and his music and stood out from the crowd. Plus.....he had an outstanding voice.
SRV one of a kind. Glad we have these videos to show new generations what true talent is. RIP ❤❤❤❤
I had the privilege of seeing him 4 times, once with another top ten guitarist, Jeff Beck. The 1st time hubby and i saw him we just sat there in awe. Stevie was beyond words.
Excellent. A friend of mine stole his mom's car to go see SRV and she pressed charges, he spent 3 mos in juvie but he said IT WAS WORTH IT, lol. He was in high school at the time. Legend.
So glad you ain't sweatin the stupid comments. I got mad respect for you taking this journey and I love that we get to come along for the ride. I was blessed with six older siblings so I was exposed to all genres from Led Zeppelin to Disco. But you don't know what you don't know right?
I loved what you said about how you could feel his passion. Him live is that times a milly. He was in love with what did and it was evident when you watched him. He was one of those people that it's clear as day theybwere meant to do what they did. A true máster of his craft.
There are still fantastic new young blues men and women out that can blow the audience and the PA system away , real live music .
The force was strong with that guy. RIP Stevie.
I discovered your channel this morning and have binge-watched all day. I’m a 68 YO white woman who loves almost all genres of music. I lived in Dallas for 30 years and saw SRV many times. We used to ride our motorcycles yearly for his charity run. We discovered him when he opened for Crosby, Steels and Nash. Keep up the good work, young man. You are opening many doors to music that many have never heard. Just a note from an older person-download every Roy Orbison song you find. Loving your streams! ❤
Perhaps that's why I saw so many bikers at his funeral.
Stevie Ray Vaughan = G.O.A.T.
I saw SRV at the Astrodome in Houston. He opened for the WHO. Best concert I ever went to. My son was 14, so glad he got to be there, and me too. Stevie did one more concert after that and was taken from us. RIP Stevie.❤❤
Stevie playing Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child Live in Nashville is mind-blowing also. Not only does he kill it like this, but he plays behind his back with his eyes closed. He plays Jimi like nobody can.
Come on bro! We're talking about Jimi Hendrix & SRV! Are You Experienced? Voodoo Child was the all jam session (if I remember correctly even Steve Winwood played a little piece on that song) Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) is what we're looking for here. Rock on brother!
Stop telling to watch SRV playing Voodoo Child, you idiot! ENOUGH NOW! HE'S UNABLE TO PLAY LIKE JIMI! WATCH JIMI'S VERSION AT WOODSTOCK AND SHUT UP
@stevenmonte7397 And He is killing us with his Talent 🤗 🎸
Jimi made Stevie owned it all due respect
And he ask Jimi's dad for permission to cover it first .
Stevie Ray Vaughan is weird because it’s probably one of the most requested songs to react to on CZcams but not many people know of him. I remember my older brother saying something about him in the early 90’s. We were discussing the greatest guitarists and I think I said Hammett because I was a big Metallica fan. It wasn’t until about two years ago that I saw a video called Texas flood by him. Oh my God it’s the greatest shit I’ve ever heard in my life. I remember I couldn’t stop laughing during the song and kept having a pause it just to catch my breath. It was like pure bliss, it was crazy. I remember saying to myself how have I never heard of this song. You don’t see this level of talent every day.
Check out Gary Clark Jr. He’s got a great voice too.
@@elfcounsul ohh I know all about Gary Clark Jr. Best modern artist. He’s great. “When my train pulls in” live is a really good one.
Stevie was inducted to Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in 2015. From Dallas. You may want to watch him on Austin City Limits. He was the best guitar player by far! I was introduced to his music by my eldest brother, whom lives in Texas.
I love hearing SRV singing, he is just so soulful. ♥Guitar is out of this world, but when he adds some voice to his music I get excited. I may be 74 years old, but I still know how to get excited. ♥
Only recently discovered your reaction channel, but you’re quickly becoming one of my favorites. Respectful, attentive, thoughtful, and intelligent commentary, coming either from expertise (with hip hop) or sincere curiosity (other genres). Great job! Subscribed!
As a SRV and guitar fan myself, I’d like to share with you some facts and perspectives that may help you appreciate SRV (and other guitarists) even more. No one sounded like Stevie Ray, and it wasn’t just how he played (although that’s a huge part of it, Stevie would say his style was his imitation of Hendrix and the blues greats Freddie King and Albert King). Part of his sound came from his equipment. Guitar strings are measured by their “gauge”, meaning how thick they are. There are advantages and disadvantages for all gauges, but in general thicker strings hold tension better and are less likely to break, but are physically harder to play cleanly. Stevie Ray played with the thickest strings possible. Not only did it make his tone sound fatter and with more rumble, but it allowed him to bend into notes that would break less thick strings, as well as literally play them harder, plucking them with more action and attack. People trying to imitate his sound would struggle, because they’d need to use thicker strings, and they’d be unable to bend the notes the same way, because they simply weren’t strong enough to bend the strings under that much tension (thicker strings need to be strung tighter to get the same sound as a thinner string). SRV was a big, tall, strong Texas man. He could force notes that other people couldn’t
Stevie had exst
Stevie had very strong fingers. He was also a Texan but he was only 5'6"s tall.
...and yet he broke those thick strings anyway. SRV must've had fingers like concrete.
Great reaction! Don’t listen to the haters out there. It’s awesome that you’re getting to experience other music and are open to it. Check out, “Look at Little Sister” which includes both Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jeff Healey, the blind guitarist you reacted to before together live.
Remember not only was SRV playing the guitar behind his back, he was slso singing while playing the guitar behind his back too.
I saw Stevie Ray Vaughan in concert back in the 80s. He opened up for Robert Plant at Blossom Music Center. He was incredible! I did recently see his keyboard player in Joe Bonamassas band.
I Ain't Gone N' Give Up On Love is my favorite for his vocals that he wrote. Lenny makes me cry and it's a beautiful instrumental that he wrote for his wife, Lenora. Look At Little Sister (there is a video where you can see what happens when a string breaks) and he also does this song with Jeff Healey a fantastic blind guitarist, who was in the movie Roadhouse. Welcome to the SRV rabbit hole!
Great reaction. Ignore the haters, dude. You rock.
Stevie Ray, Texas Flood, Live at El Mocambo ... the gift that keeps on giving.
I never get tired of watching these first time reactions. The smiles, the tears, the amazed and confused expressions, stank' faces, jaws dropping.....but wait there's more?, whenever you think he's givin' it all, there's always more...
GOAT live video electric blues performance.
The entire El Mocambo show is absolute pure fire.
Excellent reaction! You just do what you're doing. People can be rude, but more of us think it's awesome you're discovering him. Keep going.
Don't worry about haters, man. You're doing great, there's no reason a young man like you should know about a guy like Stevie Ray Vaughan. It just wasn't in your wheelhouse and it was long gone before you were even born probably. The Texas flood video is special to me because I saw that same tour in 1983 in Detroit and saw the same set from that Toronto show at the El mocambo. Stevie Ray Vaughan is my number one, and he always will be. He struggled with drugs through the mid-80s and got clean in 1986. Check out a show that features love-struck baby and rude mood in one performance from Daytona Beach. It's the first tour that he did clean and sober and you can see the joy in his face and in the entire band performance. I got two csrv and double trouble about a dozen times in and around the Detroit and Toledo area and as far as I'm concerned there wasn't a better touring band out there at the time and nobody has touched them since. He was special, a once-in-a-lifetime talent with a great Rhythm Section behind him. Chris Layton and Tommy Shaw, and later Reese Wynans, we're a force to be reckoned with on their own, and then you have Stevie Ray doing his thing. It was a moment in time oh, I had him and saw him for seven years, arguably the seven greatest years of my concert-going career and it has been long. Like I said, keep doing what you're doing, you're doing great, forget the haters. I'm not a wrap guy myself as I am a 61 year old stick-in-the-mud. I just don't know anything about it, but I'll give it-it's do. Keep rocking young man, you're fine
Stevie is the GOAT, screw top 5, any genre, and this is the greatest use of a guitar I have heard in my 58 years.
Stevie died in a helicopter crash in 1990.
Stevie is blessed. He fel in love with the blues. Tells you he has a
Big heart at his center
I think it's great that you're exploring different genres of music. I've never been big into rap, but I'm glad it's there. Every now and then I'll hear something I really like. Some people love it so I'm glad it's there for them to enjoy. And even though I'm not the biggest fan of rap, I'm sure it has influenced many songs that I do like. I would never put someone down because they like something different than me. It would be like me liking steak and you liking pasta. Both foods are perfectly fine and I wouldn't mind if you wanted to try some steak and I'm sure you wouldn't mind if I wanted to try some pasta. It's impossible to have too much variety when it comes to music.
Awesome reaction my man! As a jazz guitarist and lifelong fan of improvisation, I can attest to the fact that the flow state you’re describing is the same whether it’s playing an instrument or freestyling.
The feeling of free association and reacting to the moment in a way that’s detached yet integrated is similar in feeling to me to to having a really deep conversation, but it’s a conversation between your conscious self and the deeper internal self that’s absorbed and integrated all of the information from your influences. Practicing just closes the gap between the imagination and our ability to execute. Subscribed!
My favorite thing about YT is seeing people react to music they haven't experienced before. Good music is good music, and one should enjoy whatever music they want, no matter the genre. Loved the reaction.
I never had the privilege of seeing him but my brother saw him plenty of times and met him in East Texas 🤠🙏
Dude! I'm so happy that you reacted to this song. I always enjoy watching people lose their sh*t when he puts the guitar behind his back. I recommend a couple more of his tunes: Life Without You live at the Capital Theater in Passaic New Jersey. The song is written about his friend and guitar tech Charley, who had passed away. You'll see him changing guitars on the run - not because he broke a string but because he always plays this song with the guitar named for his friend (the white one). He also gives a powerful message in the middle of the song. Considering this was in 1985 it's a crying shame that people haven't changed for the better since then; they've changed for the WORSE 😢. Another great one is Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland (another Blues great). Stevie always had great love and respect for those bluesmen who came before him, and is so obvious when you watch this video. Also, check out Stevie and Albert King's In Session videos; that love and respect is shown there as well. A note about Albert: he was notorious for his dislike of other guitarists but he respected Stevie - to the point that he called Stevie his God son! It doesn't matter if you choose to react to these suggestions FOR US, I just want you to be able to have the opportunity to see a little deeper into who he was - he wasn't just one of the GOATs - he was a great person, and a great loss for all of us. ❤ PAX, man!
GREAT reaction Sir. You (or one of your subscribers) made a really valid point that his band often gets overlooked because he is so gifted. He could have played with anybody he wanted, but he chose these guys. That's mad respect right there.
Thanks for reacting to SRV. I loved your reaction when you realized he was playing guitar behind his back.
True Stevie Ray Vaughan fans would not call you names and give you hard time about knowing him....Stevie ray and Jeff healy playin together....give a listen thanks
SRV is one of the best if not the best guitarist ever. 35 years old and died in a helicopter crash..way to young. Imagine if he was still alive today. Continue to watch him, you’ll be amazed at what he does. 😎
His version of Jimi Hendrix’s Little Wing also live at El Mocambo is other worldly!!!! Amazing blues is his Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland 1985 & also in his early days Dirty Pool live at Montreux Jazz Festival 1982 where they actually got booed because they were to loud & not traditional enough. Then Life Without You 1985 at the Capital Theatre.
I had a great childhood filled with music, I love seeing folks that enjoy music and like to fellowship!
I'm 70, have listened to soul, country, blues, rocknroll, and hip hop, and have enjoyed all. Never to
Old or young to enjoy all types of music. Music heals the soul of all who are open minded. Enjoy your musical journey 😊
Stevie is just THE BEST - guitar player, cool cat, incredibly musically tapped in guy you'll ever see - this clip here - maybe the greatest live guitar performance that exists (big opinion of course, different views but man, this one is hard to beat). Great vibe man! A ton of great SRV videos, for something up tempo and lively check out "Mary had a Little Lamb" from Austin, or to just dive on in and not just respect this man, but start to see why people love him like a best friend, he has a truly special energy, check out "Life Without You" live at Capital Theatre. Thanks for this one, awesome!
I'm so sick of gatekeepers. Buncha idiots. I was blessed to see SRV 6 times and I truly appreciate that you're showing him appreciation and respect.
Honestly, Stevie played simple blues in an amazingly complex way. A classic case of it it ain't what you say, it's the way that you say it.
As you mentioned turntables, have you reacted to any Mix Master Mike?
Also, for the roots of rap , are you familiar with The Last Poets or Gil Scott-Heron?
"Talent is talent, and these are the people you want to search...the greats." That is amazing wisdom. I got sucked into a few of your videos. I love your commentary. Thanks!
Young man.....let me say that it was a privlage 4me to watch YOU react to SRV!! MAD,,MAD respect 4u doing this. Im very disappointed to hear ANYBODY disrespected u. ESP in the SRV community!!! And thinking about how respectful n HUMBLE he was really saddens me. If U personally wudve asked him 4 an autograph...he wudve said "Sure if u gv me yrs 1st!?" And hed mean it! Keep doing wat yr doing my friend. You turn other ppl onto the songs u like sharing n spreading the love. He wudve appreciated you so much. Just like I do. Rock on!.....ps, yuv done 3 of my 4 fav's....NIGHTWISH< FALLING IN REVERSE n now SRV. The only 1 left is TOOL. But yr NOT quite ready 4 them yet. Just get yr feet wet for now w/rock. Im luvin this discovery w/u
The biggest think about SRV playing behind his back is... His tempo, tone, etc.... doesn't change. He just tears it up.
RIP SRV.
great reaction! thank you and don't let the ass hats get you down.
You are a better person for opening your mind to other than what you were first fed as music. Stevie is the real deal, bar none.
Todays young and not as talented artists steal great licks from the great ones and the youngsters don’t really know the truth about the music.
He was self taught, and was in a band while in high school. They were in à competition and the other bands thought he was a ringer, and could not have been still in school. His brother, Jimmy, is also an incredible guitarist
