Story time. "Hey daughter I'm gonna play marry had a little lamb for you" Ok daddy (Plays song) Daddy that's not how mommy taught me on the piano Well baby... this here is the better version
Still the greatest rock/blues concert ever recorded and one of Stevie's greatest nights of his career. How lucky we are they had a pro shot crew filming. Goosebumps every time.
"Genius" is a much overused word these days. Doesn't matter. Stevie Ray was a guitar genius. There were and are others just as technically proficient, but nobody puts as much feeling into each note as he did. The GOAT, IMO.
He was definitely a guitar genius and has to be top 3 on nearly every list. Easy. I have him just behind Hendrix. Personally, my two favorites are SRV and Randy Rhoads.
Reading youtube comments for more than a decade I noticed a lot of people get impressed by rock band vocalists who are able to sing and play basic power chord riffs at the same time... I gotta say that what SRV was doing back then is far more impressive, all those string skips, this guy had his eyes closed for the entire duration of the song, even the solo. You can't get any more comfortable with the fretboard than this.
He used a set in which, the high string is thicker than the high string in a standard set of acoustic guitar strings. A standard acoustic high string is 0.012 and the high string he used was 0.013. FYI Strings are measured in inches here in the US.
i never knew what blues is, not until I saw that vid of two guys covering "Pride and Joy" on a toy guitar at Walmart. I really liked that cover and so I decided to look it up on CZcams and found Stevie Ray Vaughan. Now I'm liking his songs and is slowly digging on his discography
This entire El Macambo performance is astounding. The rise of a Star. Anyone who has learned to play guitar has to marvel at how easy Stevie made it look.
I was fortunate to see him play five times while living in Michigan. Shows you how much he toured in just one state. This concert does a great job of capturing the atmosphere of his performance.
Me and my brother played at the El Mocambo around 1988. I played bass and my brother played electric guitar. We used a pre programmed drum machine which was a Rolland 707. Our music was like jazz fusion rock. Needless to say the music didnt go over well with the rock blues crowd. At the end a blind drummer joined us on stage and saved the night. Anyways its pretty cool to say you played on the same stage as Stevie Ray Vaughn !
I remember when SRV died. I cried. I was so shocked. I used to listen to him all the time . Still hard to believe .. I have NEVER stopped LISTENING ! All these years later he remains one of my all time favorites.
Check out some reaction videos , they are hands down the best to see people 's faces when they see him play behind his back for the first time. I miss you SRV
@@jeanniereagan1840 Why didn't you just ask your boss for the rest of the day off?? I'm sure he/she would've understood that your favorite artist died suddenly in a helicopter crash...
My brother is and always will be a SRV fan and when Stevie Ray passed away I had no idea what we lost I would be 5 years old dancing around the house listening to the music that my brother played and they did not come out of his room for two weeks after he passed away from the helicopter accident it was really something what an amazing artist now that I'm old enough to understand and appreciate his music absolutely amazing not only in his talent but also in his perseverance to overcome his addiction and his genuineness as a person great guy all the way around
I saw him live in Houston. Amazing and just as good or better live. He was one of the best and will be remembered for getting clean and sober while being a guitar genius. He makes it look so easy. Thank you for posting these.
Sadly,Stevie Ray Vaughan was taken away from the earth in his young age and capacity to sing more then he did..band was super..his guitar playing only grew better as time passed..never be another Stevie Ray Vaughan and the world of fans misses him so much..always ready to entertain and perform only he could do..fantastic performance..
The tone and licks he had up his sleeve were the best from every blues artist you can think of. He was a big fan of Hendrix and that comes through in his playing too yet he said his favourite guitar player was his brother Jimmie. Classy guy for sure.
This song sounds good no matter who plays it be it Buddy Guy or Stevie but this performance gives me such inspiration as a guitarist since the band makes it legend!
Had el mocambo on VHS in mid 90s in 6th grade... Used to watch it daily. 9th grade lent it to a friend who kept it. This was rhe days of borrowin skateboard vhs tapes man. Had the srv mocambo for years, 6th grade used to skatrboard home aand watch it. Thanks dad for gettin me into Srv as a youngster. Am into hip hop and punkrock wheen i was younger but srv stuck wit me. 36 now and tryin to get my 3 year into srv.. My pops passed in 2011...
STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN, AND DOUBLE TROUBLE DAMN BEST BAND AND STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN ICON BLUES GUITARIST EVER AND HOW HE COULD PLAY HIS GUITAR @ HOW HE COULD SING MISS YOU SO MUCH. STEVIE TOOK IT TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL WITH HIS VOICE OH MY GOD AND NO ONE WILL EVER REPLACE HIM @ DOUBLE TROUBLE BAND WOW.🤠
I seen him on that same tour he broke from plant and came down to shit hole Fredericton NB 🇨🇦 tore the fucking roof of the place greatest live show still to date and I've seen a few👍
My Dad was at this concert and many others at ElMo(Stones, Thorogood, U2, Ramones, Joan Jett, etc.. ) his best friend worked there and would let him him when he could. My dad passed away in 2018 before I really got to ask him about the shows but I got a few good stories from them(I still talk to his friend who worked there pretty regularly).
Every song he played was and is iconic. Yes, with a few special exceptions... Never forget the first VCR tape I watched. Jaw dropping on every note. I was driving home listening to him on tape. Cut to the radio SRV is dead. I got seriously angry. The man took AA to heart and came out with his break thru album, In Step. "My heart goes out to others tryin to make amends". He was in prime time. He made Blues cool in the 80's. No small feet, if I may say. He refused playing on tour with Bowie and started his own tour, then dies. I still get ppissed thinking what more he would have done. He had finally reached stadium audiences. He had paid his dues and was set and ready to collect his just rewards... Guest appearance on the tonight show floored Dave. He just hung with the band the whole show... God Bless
Mary had a little lamb His fleece was white as snow, yeah And everywhere the child went That little lamb was sure to go now He followed her to school one day Which broke the teachers cool But what a time did they have That day at school Tisket! Tasket! baby A green and yellow basket I sent a letter to my baby And on my way I past it
When Stevie was a little boy his mom taught him “Mary Had a Little Lamb” as every kid knows it. As a young man Stevie went to the crossroads, where a well dressed old man whispered something to his ears, and Stevie couldn't ever remember what he said, but this is how that song came out ever since that day.
A music and singing legend that will always open our eyes to the Blue's and rock n roll..No other then Stevie Ray Vaughan in performance all around the world..terrific band..RIP Stevie
Stevie Ray Vaughan wasn't heard of in my era even though he was in my era..His music wasn't played in my hometown of Ohio..and it must have been a time when Stevie and his band was traveling from countries to different states..anyway..At least I get to hear and see the greatest legend that there was..awesome times..
Stevie was,all he could be and that is what he is..a legend of Blue's and rock n roll..a song writer and singer..The Best when Stevie took the stage..always prepared to entertain and perform the best he could..his own song and dance..
Made it look so easy. As a player myself for years I’m just constantly in awe watching these old clips. Such a shame …..he could still be playing today if not for that awful accident
Slightly unpopular choice, but I personally feel he was the greatest guitar player to ever live. If he's not, he's my favorite. I always say, Hendrix invented it, SRV made it better. So maybe it's a tie between the 2
I love SRV...RIP ...to me he is the greatest guitarist ever..I can watch him over and over...so very sad we lost him so young ... he is truly missed..thankful for his legacy ..thank you for playing/reacting to all his songs..trying to find your merch on Stevie
I don't think his drinking and cocaine usage was really affecting in a negative way yet here he's on top of his guitar playing then texas flood I think next is unreal to play behind his back.rip srv we love you and miss u greatly.
Imagine being there watching this happen and seeing his guitar face while he just ripped the universe apart. Damn... I wish I was around during this time
Stevie has said Hendrix and Django are the greatest guitarists ever. But he is up there with them. He was a humble guy and he didn,t realize how good he was
I was lucky enough to pick up a Black/White notes Earth III guitar strap just like this one. I will wear it with pride and homage at my next gig! Hopefully some mojo will rub off on me! lol!!
My friends won't believe me if I say "Mary had a little lamb" is one of the most iconic song to play on guitar...
One of a kind forever
Same here 😂
I do
You need new friends ...
Agree!!
Story time. "Hey daughter I'm gonna play marry had a little lamb for you"
Ok daddy
(Plays song)
Daddy that's not how mommy taught me on the piano
Well baby... this here is the better version
trailer 14 : “~Close your Eyes and open your Ears, honey! “
listen to buddy guys for another tasty version
Yep
Thats almost exactly howbit went down as i type... but baby girls only 5 months...
Lol
Still the greatest rock/blues concert ever recorded and one of Stevie's greatest nights of his career. How lucky we are they had a pro shot crew filming. Goosebumps every time.
Aaaàaaa
Aaa
Yep the planets were lined up that night and how fortunate for the pro filming crew. Stevie was not famous here, still unknown outside of Austin, etc
Definitely tearing it up this night. Didn't even have "SRV" on his guitar yet
Every song on here is his best version of each for me. He was otherworldly on this night in 1983.
"Genius" is a much overused word these days. Doesn't matter. Stevie Ray was a guitar genius. There were and are others just as technically proficient, but nobody puts as much feeling into each note as he did. The GOAT, IMO.
Sometimes he looked like he was holding some back in fear of vaporizing his guitar. Still, it smoked afterwards.
He had a great voice also, dont forget that.
I definitely agree with all three of you!!!!
He was definitely a guitar genius and has to be top 3 on nearly every list. Easy. I have him just behind Hendrix. Personally, my two favorites are SRV and Randy Rhoads.
@@johnhill762 darn good choices!!
Let’s not forget how solid and complimentary double trouble were. What a team
Quarantining with SRV.
Stay safe and lovely.
Those that saw or heard him appreciated what he brought to the blues, the rest can only imagine.
The GROOVIEST guitar piece EVER written. His playing on this particular song leaves me speechless every damn time. SRV forever!!!
Reading youtube comments for more than a decade I noticed a lot of people get impressed by rock band vocalists who are able to sing and play basic power chord riffs at the same time...
I gotta say that what SRV was doing back then is far more impressive, all those string skips, this guy had his eyes closed for the entire duration of the song, even the solo. You can't get any more comfortable with the fretboard than this.
Those notes are just so absolutely beautifully fat and robust and thick as Texas mud!!
He was known for using unbelievably large string guages.
He used a set in which, the high string is thicker than the high string in a standard set of acoustic guitar strings. A standard acoustic high string is 0.012 and the high string he used was 0.013. FYI Strings are measured in inches here in the US.
His string gauges were .013, .015, .019, .032, .042, .056. The B and G were 11 or 12s but the rest were super heavy 13 gauge
Chris Fantasia his string gauges were 13,15,19, 28, 38,58
What is with SrV listeners using long waffling sayings
i never knew what blues is, not until I saw that vid of two guys covering "Pride and Joy" on a toy guitar at Walmart. I really liked that cover and so I decided to look it up on CZcams and found Stevie Ray Vaughan. Now I'm liking his songs and is slowly digging on his discography
Talents like this should just be forbidden to travel at all. Who wants to see them, should have to come to their palace.
Amen 🙌 Totally!!! Stevie was such a heartbreaking loss still is ✨❤️🔥✨😪🌿🌹🍃
Lets take a moment to appreciate the dynamic drumming sytle of Chris Layton.
I wish I was around during this era. He is just unbelievable. A true Guitar God
Sam Good
Lived in Austin in 88-91 for school
Saw him frequently at ACL man was this dude gifted
I saw him twice....I wish you were there.
Same. I born in the mid 80's.
Sam Good was there my friend
Lucky phukrs he passed b4 I got to c him my brothers made it tho..
This entire El Macambo performance is astounding. The rise of a Star. Anyone who has learned to play guitar has to marvel at how easy Stevie made it look.
That solo was the craziest, coolest, most amazing thing I have ever heard! Jesus, how can one person have so much damn talent?
❤❤❤
that solo was pretty mediocre SRV has played far better ones! Hes probably too intoxicated here...
All with his eyes closed...and just hammered.
@@Mawa991 one of his best concerts at the El Mo...in Toronto ....and yes he was gassed up something proper....
It all comes together right !
I will always regret not seeing this man in concert. RIP Stevie.
I was fortunate to see him play five times while living in Michigan. Shows you how much he toured in just one state. This concert does a great job of capturing the atmosphere of his performance.
I bet I was the first person at the music store to buy his first album. He is my favorite artist of all time and I am 65 yrs old.
Yep me too!
I am 16 and i know SRV since im a kid... i still love it!
Mine too and i am 68
Thank you for keeping this trend
I'm 70 and same. Still have all his albums and CDs
really, I'm 70 and still rocking. saw S.R.V. 3 x times. not enough
Me and my brother played at the El Mocambo around 1988. I played bass and my brother played electric guitar. We used a pre programmed drum machine which was a Rolland 707.

But you can't spell his name right!
I remember when SRV died. I cried. I was so shocked. I used to listen to him all the time . Still hard to believe .. I have NEVER stopped LISTENING ! All these years later he remains one of my all time favorites.
His magic isn’t gone it’s still being felt by us through the videos
I am with you,,I`m sad because there was going to be more music to come..I will always listen to his music. He to the world by storm!
I was so upset I just walked out of work...so crushed💔 lost a good job but so what, a guitar God left us😪
Check out some reaction videos , they are hands down the best to see people 's faces when they see him play behind his back for the first time. I miss you SRV
@@jeanniereagan1840 Why didn't you just ask your boss for the rest of the day off?? I'm sure he/she would've understood that your favorite artist died suddenly in a helicopter crash...
Nobody else came close to being like him, no one else ever will be! 🤘🏻
" STEVIE HAD A LITTLE AMPPP "
it was a cheapass fender champ
Nisan that parody has to happen right this instant!

4:44 AM
I'm listening SRV
Tomorrow i have to wake up early.
It’s Stevie Ray bro.... fuck sleeping
Me too... And this is not my firstime in doing this. Kind of frustated how to stop it. Haha
Hope you got up
@@andrews4596 lol
I hear one note from SRV and that’s it. Can’t stop - it’s 5:58 AM for me.
I saw him live in Houston. Amazing and just as good or better live. He was one of the best and will be remembered for getting clean and sober while being a guitar genius. He makes it look so easy. Thank you for posting these.

Stevie Ray Vaughan..A music sensation..Never forgotten
Oh my... That's something divine. I can't get enough of this.
Oh hell yeah need this guy every day
Stevie Ray makes me smile.
I had the opportunity to see him in 1983 and being a 17 year old high school kid I really has no idea who I was seeing, truly a master . Rock on SRV
in 1983 he was 29
I was 17 in 83
@@johnandrews1139 oh, sorry. It makes sense
That's without a doubt was the best show I've ever seen
I just love how the music pours out of his soul.

I sure miss Stevie Ray. His Texas Blues Music was the best and he was great in concert! ❤️
Lucky of us hearing this masterpiece. SRV forever!!!!!!!
The greatest ever
There are many Greats in our lifetime. In a class by himself Stevie was a Legendary Master Extraordinaire

Wow .the best.im an northern Irish man..Stevie R is the best....non of these guys can beat him.
Proper musician and good singer....Big Love Eamonn
So honored I got to see him in the 80s he opened up for Robert Plant here in Rochester New York unbelievable show
No disrespect to Robert Plant, but I'd hate to be the act SRV opened for. Tough to follow.
I seen him on that same tour he broke from plant and came down to shit hole Fredericton NB 🇨🇦 tore the fucking roof of the place greatest live show still to date and I've seen a few👍
@@genem.2487 seriously, how do you play after getting your face melted with arguably the best blues player ever
@@genem.2487 People who followed Skynyrd on stage had the same problem.
I haven't yet found anyone who can cover this song accurately.

My dad passed away in 2018 before I really got to ask him about the shows but I got a few good stories from them(I still talk to his friend who worked there pretty regularly).
I miss this guy everyday! I had the pleasure of seeing him twice, the Summer of 86 w/The Thunderbirds and the Summer of 90 w/Joe Cocker.
Just great classic Stevie interpreting a child rhyme.

Mary had a little lamb
His fleece was white as snow, yeah
And everywhere the child went
That little lamb was sure to go now
He followed her to school one day
Which broke the teachers cool
But what a time did they have
That day at school
Tisket! Tasket! baby
A green and yellow basket
I sent a letter to my baby
And on my way I past it
I wish he made more songs like this for my kid. It’s a classic nursery rhyme but not lame. They love rockin out to this song
Myself and my brother were there for Stevie's show in 83! An unforgettable experience! RIP Stevie!
I saw him at Campbell Hall at UC Santa Barbara in the 80s. My big brother took me. Now he's gone and so is SRV.
Something about this particular guitar solo that just smacks me in the face every time. It's so tightly wound with the band. Just unbeatable.
If you watch him play-He put his heart&soul into playing the guitar
And all his body. He played with his whole being.
One of a kind and a true genius & artist!!
A God in his own right,still ain't been another not even close, God broke that mold
srv is my lost soulmate. bravo for your passion and amazing talent and your honor for the truth. may i. meet you on the other side.
godspeed brother.
A beautiful soul he had!💖
The more i watch him the more i love him! There won't be another SRV! Too good! Kathy B. a blues cat from Florida.

When Stevie was a little boy his mom taught him “Mary Had a Little Lamb” as every kid knows it.
As a young man Stevie went to the crossroads, where a well dressed old man whispered something to his ears, and Stevie couldn't ever remember what he said, but this is how that song came out ever since that day.
Been to the crossroads in Clarksdale mississippi birthplace of the blues. You can feel it in the air there.
I love his bluesy style ..a real master of this sound Rip Srv
Esas melodías son invaluables gracias maestro SRV por regalarnos tanto talento ❤
A music and singing legend that will always open our eyes to the Blue's and rock n roll..No other then Stevie Ray Vaughan in performance all around the world..terrific band..RIP Stevie
Saw him in Austin in the last 80's. Gone way too soon...Imagine the music this man would have created. He was only 35 when he passed 😞
My Dad played this all the time when i was a child ❤ best version of Mary had a little lamb
My dad did as well. I've been an SRV fan ever since than
Floating stage, Montreal 1986, the day of the flood. La Ronde. Fucking crazy. Couldn’t Stand the Weather guitar lasted 10 minutes. 🙏🙏🙏God bless.
The world lost a true musical asset with the loss of Stevie Ray. He will always own a piece of my heart. 😥💖💯

My real name is Mary and I've heard a million versions of that song. This is my favorite by far! True art!
That switch back and forth at 1:34 gets me everytime
He can sing anything and make it his own
Made it look so easy. As a player myself for years I’m just constantly in awe watching these old clips. Such a shame …..he could still be playing today if not for that awful accident
Love Stevie Ray Vaughan and This Song .
having been at this show is as cool as having been at Woodstock. a national treasure !
Rest in powerful peace SRV🙏

Wow why have I stumbled upon here?
This is amazing 🤯
Thank you thank you 😊
Thank you thank you 😊
The best greatest guitaar player
Slightly unpopular choice, but I personally feel he was the greatest guitar player to ever live. If he's not, he's my favorite. I always say, Hendrix invented it, SRV made it better. So maybe it's a tie between the 2
That is a true wonderment.Better watch! They don't come round often .Hell, my Chihuahua stand's at attention when SRV walks in the house!
I love SRV...RIP ...to me he is the greatest guitarist ever..I can watch him over and over...so very sad we lost him so young ... he is truly missed..thankful for his legacy ..thank you for playing/reacting to all his songs..trying to find your merch on Stevie
This is by far the best guitar performance I have ever heard, what an absolute legend. R.I.P SRV
SRV was pimping that Fender.
Stevie Ray Vaughan is a legend I will always have in my mind and my heart
I don't think his drinking and cocaine usage was really affecting in a negative way yet here he's on top of his guitar playing then texas flood I think next is unreal to play behind his back.rip srv we love you and miss u greatly.
I don't think it had much of a negative effect on his playing and maybe his life
Imagine being there watching this happen and seeing his guitar face while he just ripped the universe apart. Damn... I wish I was around during this time
No one will ever play like him
정말..최고👍이런 기타음악 들려주셔서 정말 감사합니다❤️
This is maybe the coolest guitar playing i will ever witness in my life. I love it!
Beautiful music ❤
You could at least look at the neck once in a while!!! Fantastic talent taken way to soon. God bless SRV.
Stevie has said Hendrix and Django are the greatest guitarists ever. But he is up there with them. He was a humble guy and he didn,t realize how good he was
What I would of gave to see him live. Only regret, greatest guitarist ever! Plus, he was a babe and a half. Totally fine.
I was lucky enough to pick up a Black/White notes Earth III guitar strap just like this one.
I will wear it with pride and homage at my next gig!
Hopefully some mojo will rub off on me! lol!!
This is my SRV's favorite live song
