  • Texas Flood by Stevie Ray Vaughan has been long overdue. I made sure to go live at El Mocambo for this one. Before this reaction I had never heard anything from this guy. I didn't even know he existed. To say he is an animal on the guitar would be an understatement. I think we'll be looking at more Stevie Ray Vaughan in the future...
    Here is my reaction to Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood LIVE at El Mocambo. I hope you enjoy it!

    Before complaining about the video not being very visible. I tried to upload this video as normal but CZcams blocked my video straight away. I had to turn the opacity down otherwise I couldn’t upload the video at all… I don’t make videos barely visible on purpose. I can see the video perfectly fine when reacting to it, that’s all that matters

      This was recorded shortly after his debut album was released. This is the title track. He had played all the guitar solos on Dsvid Bowie's album Let's Dance previously.
      This is blues. This is 1983. Just when you think he can't get better, he spins around. The solos were too easy previously. LOL And he sings like that. He mainly plays with a pick, but can also finger pick.

  • @ebnykween
    @ebnykween Před 2 měsíci +312

    I'm so looking forward to this reaction. A little FYI- Stevie played with the thickest and heaviest strings you could play on and they were lifted higher than most strings on the fret board so that he could get the sound he wanted. He'd rip the skin off of his fingertips from playing and he'd SUPER GLUE them back on and keep playing. He was a little guy (5'5' or 5"6 ish) but LOOK AT HIS HANDS! After his death, #1(the guitar in this video and the only thing that survived the plane crash that killed him- CORRECTION helicopter crash, thanks @howiewarren243) was displayed in a case I believe at a Hard Rock Cafe, and I did read somewhere that LEGEND guitarists couldn't even play his instrument. They (his hands) were massive and also contributed to his ability to literally wrap his hands around the neck of the guitar ALSO- Another great who could not read music and was self taught. Now, if you want to hear another great one from Stevie, look up "Little Wing" from the same concert (el Mocambo) and then find "Life without You" at the Capital Theatre in 1985 (where he loses a tooth and keeps playing),and if you have some time watch his concert at the Montrose. Blues was becoming a "dying" genre and Stevie pulled it back into its rightful relevance. I could go on and on! Amazing amazing artist!

      Yeah, yeah, yeah. And if you want to dig just a bit further...this is the '12-bar blues' form. The time signature is so slow that even I can play the chord progression (I don't really have much musical talent) on a rhythm guitar. That leaves the lead soloist to....just....go...off (into some other place and time).
      You are also correct that this music can just allow a listener to CHILL OUT (using whatever vehicle one may choose, if you will).
      I will never forget when and where I was when I heard SRV had passed. That was a sad, hard day. The house is a rockin', don't bother knockin'....Just come on in!

I've seen SRV 6 times. And I've seen all the greatest Blues players over my 68 years on this planet. And I can say without a doubt he is the very best of all time. From "Look at Little Sister" to his bluesy version of the "Mary had a little lamb" to "Cold Shot" to "Caught in the Crossfire" & a slow instrumental "Riviera Paradise" you can see his diversity running thru his veins powered by his soul.

    Stevie Ray was from Dallas, Tx namely Oak Cliff (Thars My Hood) area. But he was a national treasure and gone at too early of an age and robbed us of more musical treasures like this.

    Many people consider this the greatest live blues performance in history, but his brother Jimmy had the best line to put SRV in perspective: it was just another night for him. He brought this level of energy every single time. Truly one of a kind.. 🐐🐐🐐

  • @robertutes4850
    @robertutes4850 Před 2 měsíci +3

    Eyes wide open now... Stevie and Eddie are both superb guitarists, each for their own reasons - Stevie got his first record deal after this show in 1982, people thought he was brand new, but had been playing since the 1960s, his older brother Jimmy had the band "The Fabulous Thunderbirds" - another Blues/Rock band - i listen to Stevie and Eddie equally, admiring what each one brings to the table, along with other guitar greats like Clapton - Hendrix - Page - Gilmore and many more - Stevie was called out by the "old timers" saying that "He" should be the only one to play "Hendrix" one of his "specialties" checkout Hendrix Voodoo Child - and then Stevie's cover of it. Stevie's sound is hard to replicate since he was known to use some of the thickest strings available, and still bend the way he does is a testament to his love of it. RIP to all that have come and gone....

    I've been watching reaction videos to every genre for maybe 5 or 6 years now, SRV was and still is my favorite rabbit hole. Highly recommend one of the three: Life Without You (live @ the Capitol Theatre), Lenny (Live @ the El Mocambo), or Little Wing (also live @ the El Mocambo). Some of the most intense & emotional performances I've ever seen, regardless of artist. Absolutely breaks my fucking heart that he died the way he did, especially after getting sober. Seems to happen with all the legends.

    Stevie Ray's performance outshines everything else, as it should, but let us not forget the drummer and bass player. They understands what Stevie Ray wants and needs, and give it to him. They are the rock upon which SRV stands.

      After watching his reaction, I could see it in his eyes !! He is indeed going to see how far the SRV rabbit hole goes, it was that same look he had when he first heard Pink Floyd, I'm glad that he finally took the suggestion to check out the Texas Blues rabbit hole starting with SRV and Texas flood at the El Macombo, I'm sure that it will be another journey he will be most greatful for taking 🙂

    Yessir! Sorry for the long comment, this just got me hyped! (This was 1982 by the way, a few months before he was discovered by the world). You've officially been baptized by the greatest to ever do it. He is improvising - all feel and soul - most of the entire song - he has his go-to licks and structure and moves but his soul get's locked in and he just leaves normal earth behind and travels and brings us along (one of the cool things about getting into the blues...it will help your guitar playing to learn the blues as it is the source of all music, and once you have some comfort, you can improvise forever.). Welcome to a new world as there are dozens of videos of SRV and he NEVER disappoints. ALWAYS DO HIM LIVE!!! Most people check "Voodoo Child" next, any version will do, and to really hear his vocals "Life Without You - Live at Capital Theater" - "Mary Had a Little Lamb - live from Austin" and EVERY SINGLE song from this concert, SRV Live from El Mocambo (check out "Lenny" from the same concert to have instant brain explosion). He is the Baddest MF to ever go out and demolish the guitar and electric blues on stage. While he can be so gentle, precise, and take you through the clouds with the angels bending around soft corners, he also rips and tears into it like he is possessed with something, mean, beautiful and spiritual all at the same time. He was on fire that night - every night - but it is a gift to guitar players and music lovers that people were on hand to record this night, from which this version of "Texas Flood" is from. He never played the same song the same way twice, so you can watch a different "Texas Flood" live and he'll do the same basic structure, some of the main licks and such, but every time out he let his soul drift into some magical place and he gave it all back, and it'll be a totally different outcome. He eventually gave us his life (RIP Stevie it still hurts) in a freak helicopter crash in 1990, 7 years of the spotlight, and IMO - and its cool for anyone to love whoever, Van Halen, Jimmy Page, of course Jimi Hendrix -and many many more - the most, it isn't about wrong or right, it is personal and whoever hits you or touches your soul is your GOAT - but for me and multiple generations since, it all begins and ends with Stevie. The blues are an incredible rabbit hole to go down which stretches you back to insane players like Robert Johnson in the 1930's, with cheap beat-up acoustic and nothing else, playing for whiskey and a bed that night in the old deep American south (Mississippi Delta blues is THE SOURCE) to BB King in the 60's and a zillion other amazing players. Stevie's beat up 1962 Fender Stratocaster you just watched is arguably the most valuable guitar on planet earth (if you go back and watch or on future vids, he just uses one pedal, and a Wah pedal, but he is constantly adjusting his pickups and tone knobs mid song in a purely subconscious master wizard level, to get that perfect tone (his tone is just as epic as his playing). He called this guitar 'Number 1' and it is the sickest guitar hands down, to me at least. SRV went through a battle of life to arrive at the man you just witnessed and his guitar fits the part. Enjoyed many of your vids over last couple years, glad you got to this one, it is a game changer.

    I miss going to watch Stevie play. Every single chance I got! Don't care how far across the Great State of Texas I had to drive. I've said it before and I'll say it again. When guitars go to sleep for the night, they dream Stevie Ray is playing his magic music on them.
    Rest in peace Stevie. Texas and the world isn't the same without you.

    Thank you for getting to this one, I could not have clicked on it fast enough!! I turned 14 years old on the very day he performed this incredible performance 7/11/1983. Been a fan since the eighties and even saw him twice!! I could literally suggest all sorts of songs and performances of his. His studio recorded stuff is great no question but his genius was performing live. He never played the same song the same way twice so you could literally watch him play the same song countless times and see and hear a different version everytime!
