A suggestion for someone better than Stevie..................... ......................................................................................... ....................I got nothing, Michael. No one at all. So I guess I'll just name another SRV, "the goatiest of all goats, songs. It's called Life Without You, at the Capital Theater. Very personal song for Stevie he wrote after losing one of his friends. Thank you and another great reaction. ✌❤
haha, yer I'm going to find it very difficult to find anything like this again. Thats great, thank you for the suggestion, ive added it to my long list
All the truly great guitarists never play to a script when playing live. They close their minds and let the music take over. The really hard part is instantly and flawlessly playing what the music is telling you to play
NOONE better I have to listen to him every day He is the best with the live performances you should listen to Mary had a little lamb the GOAT for sure There is noone better for you to listen to !!
Stevie Ray Vaughan can shred but he always perform with his heart and soul. BB King said “I play until I run out of ideas but Stevie Ray never runs out of ideas. Music just flows straight out from him.
The great guitarist of the age were in awe of Stevie. Eric Clapton said that every other player in the world sort of "takes a break" during improvised solos but not Stevie. He just continues to flow without hesitation. He played with all of the great black bluesmen that were still living and they all loved him as a person and a player.
I enjoyed your reaction! I was fortunate to expereince 8 SRV concerts before his tragic death. The man could touch your soul through his music. I also suggest Life Without You, live at Capital Theater. It is a magical performance, almost like going to church spiritually. Stevie wrote the song after the passing of a close mentor. And its good to have the lyrics pulled up. Peace. RIP SRV.
8!! that's insane haha, your so lucky...his passing is such a loss to everyone and the music world. Thank you for the suggestion, its been added to my list 😊
You were a joy to watch! And yes, more SRV. We can never get enough! Subscribed. Try his exquisite "Riviera Paradise." And a twofer at Daytona Beach... "Love Struck Baby" (where he's having such a blast he can't help but dance), and then takes off at top speed doing "Rude Mood." I'm surprised the guitar didn't burst into flames🔥🔥🔥. Those definitely are fire-starting fingers!
wow, thank you for the subscription 😊 I will definitely being doing more SRV down the line, i think I've got 4 songs in my list to do - and now I've added "Riviera Paradise." to that list 😁 - Thank you for thew suggestion!!
Thanks, Azimov.. SRV is, indeed, unique... he seems at the same time to be precise, and yet.. almost in a trance... he will be missed forever... appreciate your reaction, and look forward to more...
SRV ~ 🎸🐐 The goatiest goat in all of goatness In this performance, he was in the midst of his drug and alcohol addiction, and there is a noticeable physical difference in his appearance when compared to your first SRV vid (Voodoo Child). In the Voodoo Child vid he is clean and sober and he looks healthy and happy. In fact, his music did a drastic change when he became sober. His 'In Step' album is about overcoming addiction and making amends (Tightrope) to those he hurt along the way. He also began to dabble is jazz (Riviera Paradise) and was leaning more towards Rock (Crossfire, The House is Rockin), yet still remaining true to his Blues roots (Leave My Girl alone). As stated previously, he was a kind and humble soul and is sorely missed by his fanbase. Next on your list must be: **Life Without You at Capitol Theater** He may, or may not, do some even crazier things with the guitar than he did in Texas Flood.🤷♂️😉
🎸🐐 The goatiest goat in all of goatness 😂😂🤣🤣 - Love it - I had to steal the saying 🤫 I did wonder about his health , compared to the other reaction video i did ( it was not the same gig as i originally thought lol) he looked very pale (i would say and sweaty, but that's a given). I've got Life without you on my list as well as Tin Pan Alley which (as everyone is recommending these songs - so they must be good!) I will get hem done eventually .
So much depends where you grew up. I was raised in the south US with Prince. My husband lived closer to, say, Memphis, so grew up listening to more blues style music, including SRV. So far, I've only witnessed 3 people who - how do I put this? - was born with a guitar in their hands? Like the instrument was a part of their bodies - Jimi Hendrix, Prince, and SRV. This video is SICK! Thanks for watching it. Music is one way hubby & I connected: I introduced him to Prince, and he introduced me to SRV. We were each enthralled with what the other's "favorite' could do. We are now in our 50s, and both artists have sadly passed away. But we have only 2 things up in our home office: a poster of Prince in "Under The Cherry Moon," and a large sketch of SRV. They must be rocking away in Heaven!
awww that's amazing that you found each other through he love of music, i didn't get that with my partner she was into spice girls and what not when I got with her, but she loves her rock music now thankfully haha haha yer I bet they are!! 🤘🤘 I will def. do some reaction videos for Hendrix and Prince in the future - thanks again for your comments :-)
Lucky to have seen him 3 times in concert. First time he was warming up for BOSTON. Had no idea who he was, but it was one of those "OMFG, who is this guy?" moments. Third time was with his brother Jimmie's band, The Fabulous Thunderbirds , warming up for him. In between sets, Jimmie sits down with a double neck guitar, Stevie stands behind him , and they start playing it together.
now i bet that was an experience ... not only did you hear him first hand ...but to hear and see him before he came huge! Super Jealous haha!! oh, does Jimmy and his band have any songs i should check out?
@@Azimov-REACTS Thunderbirds 2 big hits were Tuff Enuff and Wrap It Up. There is a vid , somewhere here, of Stevie and Jimmie playng that double neck guitar together.
SRV played more behind his back than most guitarist plays in front. And a little fun fact was when he was recording Voo Doo Child he went and asked Jimmy Hendrix father if he could borrow his foot pedal and Jimmy's father gave it to him.
Sadly, I was at Stevie Ray Vaughn's last concert the night his helicopter crashed after the show at Alpine Valley Wisconsin August 26th 1990. The fog was so bad that we stopped and got a hotel room on the way home. The lineup was SRV, Eric Clapton, Robert Cray, Stevie's brother Jimmie and Buddy Guy. RIP SRV!
wow, it must have been a horrible morning to wake up and see this on the news! after you had just watched him live... but at least you were luck to witness his greatness first hand! - such a tragic loss to the music world and everyone that knew him
No one compares to our Stevie🎸🎶💯. Great reaction👏🙌. Whoosh! That sound you hear is a new fan falling down the Stevie Ray rabbit hole🐇🐇. You are in for a world of delights and yes, if you have heard one song you like, you will get new versions of it each time he plays. He is a channel through which the music flows. His band mates are incredible in their support for Stevie and have to watch him like a hawk so they can keep him in his pocket no matter how many times he jumps in a new pocket. They watch him for clues because even Stevie has no idea where the music will take him so it always remains fresh and exciting. First time on your channel and I am subbing for more Stevie Ray 🎸🎶💙. Commenters have already given you great suggestions but may I suggest Tin Pan Alley performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival 1985 which features another Texan Blues man, Johnny Copeland. Together they put on a master class in down and dirty blues💙💙💙💯
ahh thank you 😊that i have! my biggest hate right now is that i cant listen to more .. instead im saving them for future reaction videos...... amazing thank you!, ive added you suggestion to my list of future reaction videos 😁
If you want to see how smooth Stevie was when he broke a string, check out Look at Little Sister. My favorite vocal performance is Ain't Gone 'N Give Up on Love. SRV wrote both of these songs.
I used to frequent the El Mocambo in the 70's and we referred to it as The Elmo. Missed this one though 😭. Another great SRV video is Look At Little Sister, with Jeff Healey. Jeff will blow you away and you can see Stevie smile when Jeff takes the lead. They admired one another and sadly, both are gone now. FYI - Jeff was blind. Thanks & cheers from Canada!
I've done a reaction video for Little Sister (here's the link 😉 ruclips.net/video/PsjMoTDQqeE/видео.html ), im not sure if this is the same one Thanks for watching 😊
It's been said before but I'll say it again. Where does the guitar end and SRV begin? It's like they are one instrument. He makes it look easy but the sweat, the grimacing, the endurance. Wow. Thanks for the react!
Chris Layton on drums plus Tommy Shannon (ex-Johnny Winter's bands) = "Double Trouble." They later (1985) added Reese Wynans on impeccable bluesy keyboard. Other commenters on other sites mention SRV used heavier-than-normal guitar strings, so he was plucking CABLES and not strings! And how he bends so many of the notes in a song, he wears out even those heavy-duty strings. I've read that his hands were extraordinarily strong! Find a vid of "Look at Little Sister" for and emergency change of guitar due to a broken string; his crew is so sharp, not a single note or beat is missed.
Hey, Azimov - like your reaction so much, I've watched a couple of times... recently read that he once said "I don't play with much finesse.. I usually play like I'm breaking out of jail".. which pretty much sums up his style... thanks again!
Speaking of not missing a beat, check out Look At Little Sister from the 1989 Austin City Limits show. Watch for a broken string in the middle of his guitar solo followed by replacing the guitar... WITHOUT MISSING A BEAT.
Stevie is the GOAT. regardless of genre, and this is the greatest use of a guitar I have ever heard in my 58 years. This is '83. Strongest recommendation to do Stevie's cover of Hendrix's 'Little Wing' from this same show. It's nearly as good a guitar performance as this but I think a better song.
Well he does have a big brother who plays guitar. Jimmy Vaughn, his band The Fabulous Thunderbirds do more 50's style music. There's a video of them playing Pipeline together that you should check out.
There is NO ONE better than Stevie Ray. Hendrix,Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Randy Rhoades, and Ritchie Blackmore are probably the closest ones but Stevie is on a completely different level.
ohh interesting, I've got suggestions for Hendrix and Van Halen, can you suggest anything for the other three i cn add to my list? Steve Vai, Randy Rhoades, and Ritchie Blackmore But yer SRV is most definitely on another level with his skills!!
Stevie was still battling addiction here. An hour before the show, he was in a cocaine induced coma and had to be revived by medical personnel with IV fluids and vitamins. Hence all the extra extra notes and sweat. Tommy Shannon (bass) claims this show was their best performance on tape.
I respect other opinions and music is subjective but I stand by that this is the greatest live blues or otherwise guitar performance we have in existence. Oh jeez, I went absurdly long with comment, so if that annoys anyone, I get it, it's kind of absurd, but I love Stevie - he is my guitar player idol I modelled my own journey after, and I love this genre on YT, so I had to just post and let it flow. So, "Texas Flood" El Mocambo, hell of an intro - 2nd song, sorry - but the journey now begins. I'll let other commenters point the way. As for Stevie, he studied so many styles - Texas Blues he grew up in, but Chicago blues, Delta blues, Texas folk blues, the British Blues invasion, HENDRIX, Surf Rock, Jazz Guitar, Southern Rock, Swing, Elvis, Country -all of it, he mastered note for note as a prodigy (that is obvious) and then had his older brother by 4 years Jimmie Vaughan get famous in his teens in the Texas Blues scene, so by 16 Stevie was gigging in Austin sleeping at 5am on Pool Tables...and by the time we see him here, 10 years have passed from those early days and HE IS AN ABSOLUTE MONSTER of a musical mind, not just a guitar wizard - and he has soul and is in tune with 'that other place' where the best artists go to bring back something in real time even they aren't sure of how its being created/controlled, but he was a channel to it and had the skill to allow it to flow out into his guitar, and do it literally rarely missing a fret or note let alone playing super fast, or super crunchy, or light as a feather delicate, and creating his CRUSHING tone on that famous beat up 62 Fender Strat. It is called "#1" maybe the guitar more guitar players on earth would covet the most if their were such a poll, it is the baddest guitar ever, and part of how he got his sound. He used insanely thick strings - .13 gage they're called, an average guitarist plays with .9s, 10s if you want to ramp up your tone - Stevie played electric wires and did bends and vibrato that were inconceivable. This is a crucial element to his NASTY tone, just equally as gangster as any guitarist could dream off, to light as a feather, shaking his guitar for that always present vibrato. But his tone - with few effects, just something called a Tube Screamer and a Wah Pedal, and that blues-perfect sound a Fender Stratocaster provides, that is as impressive as his playing, and along with his unique amalgam of styles re-purposed into a blues guitar gun slinger, his instantly recognizable sound, and his really catchy tunes (like the blues is just a simple basis so it takes some talent to keep the interesting songs coming and SRV managed to do that which is why you are in for an incredible journey as you can marvel at his playing, his band, his voice - but you'll find yourself digging the songs and how much range there is styles there.) But he has a legendary story, and so often those stories end with tragedy, as his did. But maybe even before doing another song, I may be a lone wolf in this being my recommendation for next video, watch "Stevie Ray Vaughan Guitar Lesson" to get to meet him interviewed, get a quick part of his redemption story and why he is an inspiration and so beloved by so many, this humble guy - with some ridiculous playing mixed in! For there to have been a Stevie Ray Vaughan, a truly 1 in a billion tiny chance of random things needed to occur - born in Dallas in blues country, with an older brother who was also a guitar prodigy at an early age, Stevie being born with a savant-level of natural musical aptitude, endless love for listening to and soaking in all music, then playing/practicing all day every day from age 7 to learn those songs note for note, then through his brother's success and the path he saw, a move to Austin at age age 16 when he could already really play, seriously PLAY (Austin particularly via a club called Antone's where Stevie came into his own if you will -Blues Central since the late 70's), where he gained unique opportunities to meet and play with legendary electric blues players like BB King and Buddy Guy - idols of his, and particularly one Titanic Electric blues legend of the 60's, Albert King, who took him on as a God Son; and that brotherly rivalry with Jimmy Vaughan(I get to see him live next Friday in a little club outside Washington DC!), an incredible laser precision surgeon of a player who Stevie would have told you and meant it, was better than he was easily, always up and until the day we lost him. Add this to his special affinity to the other big name you hear as Guitar God #1, Mr. Hendrix, who also shaped him immensely - among many things, just Jimi's willingness to be free and wild, and let those Virtuoso skills go free and unbridled - and how SRV came to be becomes more and more clear. Then bringing back in Charlie Christian and Wes Montgomery jazz influences, like we see on a great next video I see some likes for below "Mary Had a Little Lamb" where he quiets down a section, his 2nd solo part into a more jazzy vibe, and songs like "Lenny" and "Riviera Paradise;" or a song like "Dirty Pool" where he strums using tremolo picking (the super fast up and down strumming of all 6 strings or sometimes a solo or couple strings we see sprinkled throughout various parts of the above performance, which he learned from Surf Rock pioneer and great friend and idol, Dick Dale (all the cool music in "Pulp Fiction") - it appears in Mexican jazz/blues too, which is part of the subtle roots of difference in Texas Blues to Delta or Chicago Blues. Long comment alert, apologies - the more you watch the more you love this humble man who only shined to the world for 7 years, but it is so awesome through this corner of the internet - YT reaction videos, my guilty relaxation pleasure - so any time seeing a new passionate individual with a channel delve into the bands and artists I love for the first time, and presents it and does it well as you have, it is super fun. Thanks for the time and here's to many more chills via SRV, and the potential for many more bands and artists you don't even know are coming your way yet, that will enhance your love of music and your life so beautifully! Peace//
Hi Drew, if it annoys anyone... They don't need to read it and the don't appreciate your love and passion for Stevie haha - as for me.... I love it and I want to firstly say a big thank you for taking the time to wite this. I didn't realise there were so many different types of Blues - Literally thought it was just .. The blues ... Ill have to look into this - do some research and see if I can understand the difference between the different styles....Such a talented man to be able to learn all of these styles including the others you've mentioned - yes i totally agree he is a monster!! Yer ive seen other comments about Stevie using super thick strings, and even these he snapped easily which is Crazy! Ill def. check out "Stevie Ray Vaughan Guitar Lesson" - is it something a music reaction video can be done to? or is it a video i should watch and enjoy in my free time? Any idea what his father/mother did? its strange (but for us amazingly great) that both Vaughan Brothers were so musically talented - Can you recommend a good song I can do a reaction video by his brother? Your finishing sentence, ... That's really nice of you to say Thank you for these kind words, and im glad your enjoying them - im still in the early stages but keep trying to get better at this all the time (check out my first (Foo Fighters) Video - its terrible haha) I cant wait for all the new bands (Spoiler Alert - Ive just recorded a reaction for the Moody Blues - to be released on Friday - and WOW!!) Thank you again for taking your time to write your comment, its very much appreciated
I didn't come on here to proclaim that Stevie was the greatest guitarist of all time. I will however proclaim that whoever's #2 has got a fair amount of catching up to do.
@@Azimov-REACTS Don´t know, he´s very diverse. Maybe "Soothsayer" would be good for start for that´s probably his most mainstream song. Or "Gory Head Stomp" as a good example for his diverse skills.
I brought my girlfriend to a SRV concert back in the day and she ended up marrying me lol serious brown points 👉 thank you Stevie and Double Trouble for helping me
haha no i wish, our names are spelt ever so slightly different - mine has a 'Z' where his a a 'S' - but i agree he's a a great author Thanks for the suggestion, its been added to my list 😁
This song was written by Larry Davis and Joseph Scott in 1955, Larry Davis recorded it in 1958, Joseph Scott was having relationship problems so that's what came from this song. Stevie Ray heard that Larry Davis never got payed royalties so and alot of people use this song but Stevie Ray being a great man payed Larry Davis every dime out of his own pocket. Stevie Ray played so much he had alot of calluses, when a callus would come off he would put supper glue on it put it on a good piece of skin rip it off and put it back on the spot it came off 😂 😂. I think that Double Trouble doesn't get the recognition they deserve, Stevie Ray started a band called The Triple Threat Reuve with vocalist Lou Ann Barton but she left on November 24,1979 so Stevie Ray took over the vocals. Tommy Shannon basses joined a band called Krackerjack with Stevie Ray when they were teens in school but lost touch until June 23,1981 when Tommy Shannon replaced Jackie Newhouse, drummer Chris Layton joined The Triple Threat Reuve drums replacing Jack Moore and Reese Wynans joined Double Trouble on June 7,1985, In 1980 Stevie Ray changed the name to Double Trouble. Stevie Ray never used a play list he said because he never learned to read music he played from the heart so he didn't know what song he was going to play or how he was going to play it until he got on stage so that right there shows how amazing Double Trouble was keeping up with Stevie Ray and never missing a beat. So many great Blues artists loved Stevie Ray , Eric Clapton said he was at a festival watching Stevie Ray perform, after Stevie Ray was done Eric Clapton said "you expect me to go on after that?" And actually left. You can watch a post on RUclips called What Great Guitarist Think Of Stevie Ray Vaughan. Albert King performed a show called In Session with Stevie Ray, I think is a must watch, Albert King was actually Stevie Ray's godfather. The song " Life Without You" Stevie Ray shows so much of his crazy insane talent. Stevie Ray not only tuned his guitar while playing but he also played behind his head, backwards, one hand, broken string, switch guitar in the middle of a solo and never missed a beat, his teeth, elbow, adjust his AMP'S while playing one handed even no hands just by moving the guitar up and down side to side and play behind his back longer than anyone ever could. Another great reaction thanks
Oh wow!! what a kind and caring Guy!!, that's supper gross about the calluses haha Yer the band mates deserve a medal being bale to adjust and play with Stevie, they deserve a lot more credit because that's super impressive! - even more so that (as you said) he apparently changed how songs sounded each time. Can you recommend a song by Albert King? - will be worth doing a reaction video? Ive added Life without you to my list of songs to react to (SSV list just keeps getting bigger and bigger haha) Thank you for saying you enjoyed the reaction, it means a lot :-), i would also like to thank you for taking your time leaving me this great comment
Don't lie to me or match box Blues are really good, don't lie to me from In Session Albert King and Stevie Ray talk in the beginning of the song and Albert King is giving Stevie Ray some really good advice, you can see so much love and respect between the two. The hole Session is awesome because they talk about how they met and funny stories. You will see Albert King jam but the crazy thing is he's never used a pick. Albert King was performing at a place called Antone's, it was owned by Clifford Antone. Stevie Ray was always a huge fan of Albert King's so Stevie went to Antone's in 1973 and asked Clifford to ask Albert King if he could sit in with him and of course Albert said no. Alot of people say Albert King didn't like anybody but Stevie kept coming back until Albert said bring him up thinking he was going to show Stevie how it's done but was amazed watching Stevie and took Stevie under his wing. Albert King was born Albert Nelson on April 25,1923 he was one of the greatest Blues guitarist of all time, his album Born Under A Bad Sign another great song with Albert and Stevie came out in 1967. Albert was left handed so he always played his guitar upside down 😂 😂 he had 13 siblings that sang in church. When Albert King started performing on the Blues around Texas he told everyone he was B.B. King's half brother and used the same nickname Blues Boy and had a guitar named Lucy. He started using the name Albert King and not Albert Nelson in 1953, B. B. King said he was upset about it but after he met Albert King Albert King was right they were brothers in Blues. I should tell you about Albert King first guitar, it's funny so Albert King's father left the family when Albert was only 5 years old but his dad played guitar so Albert took a cigar box, a piece of bush and a strand of Broom wire and made his guitar, he eventually bought a real guitar for $1.25 (the good old days) so being left handed he turned it upside down and played that way. I'm sorry I went way to long again, I try not to. I love your reactions there great. I've been a huge fan of Stevie Ray's for over 40 yrs and had to know everything about him but only in interviews from the artist themselves not rumors or hearsay. I know from birth right up to after his death. Alot of thing were sad in his life and more but I think I would have cramped fingers and 2 days to commit all so I'll tell you after the videos you play.
Might be worth a quick reference on Wikipedia to a new artist for a bit of background. Not many people pick up on the little tune up he does in the middle there. Have a look at Third Stone From The Sun from El Mocambo…. Alternative title…. While My Guitar Technician Gently Weeps.
thank you for the comment - i was thinking about it but at the same time i don't want it to dimmish my true first time reaction, but i guess finding out basic info wont do that, ill give it a go in the future, I'm always trying to better my channel so thank you again for you comment 😊
This song Texas Flood was written by Larry Davis and Joseph Scott in 1955, Larry Davis recorded and released it in 1958, when Stevie found out Larry Davis never got payed any royalties enen though so many people have used the song Stevie payed Larry Davis his royalties out of his own pocket, he was an amazing person with a huge heart. Stevie was born in Dallas Texas on October 3,1954 and has a brother named Jimmie Vaughan who is 3 yrs older then Stevie and is a great guitarist In his own right, he had a band called The Fabulous Thunderbirds but never achieved the success Stevie did. Jimmie was the first to get an electric guitar and Stevie loved it, he would play it whenever Jimmie left the house. Stevie got his first guitar when he was 7 years old for this birthday with cowboys and Indians on it but even though it was a toy guitar Stevie taught himself how to play Wine Wine Wine by Stick McGhee and Thunderbird by The Night Caps AMAZING on a toy. When Jimmie brought a Muddy Watters record Stevie said when he heard it he was stuck on the Blues, that what he played the most through out his career. In 1964 when Stevie was 10 he had his first gig at a roller rink with a band he joined called The Chantones so Jimmie gave Stevie his first electric guitar. Stevie left the band and joined a band called Krackerjack along with Double Troubles basses Tommy Shannon, Stevie had a hard time breaking into the music industry. In 1977 Stevie put a band together called The Triple Threat Reuve and has Lou Ann Barton on vocals but when Lou Ann left on November 24,1979 Stevie took over on vocals and in 1980 Stevie changed the name to Double Trouble. Chris Layton joined The Triple Threat Reuve on September 10,1978, Tommy Shannon basses joined Double Trouble on June 23,1981 ,later Reese Wynans joined Double Trouble on June 7,1985. Stevie's career only span 7yrs but he accomplished so much in only 7yrs starting with the release of his first album Texas Flood on June 13,1983. On November 18,1984 Stevie won a W.C.Handy National Blues Award, Entertainer Of The Year and Instermental Of The Year Stevie was the first white musician to win either. On December 13 1983 Stevie's Austin City Limits video was voted Guitar Player Magazine's Best New Talent, Best Electric Blues Guitar Player and Best Guitar Album with Texas Flood, Stevie and Jeff Beck are the only 2 Triple award guitarist ever. Stevie was the first musician to be inducted into The Austin Music Hall Of Fame in 1982, in 2000 he was inducted into The Blues Hall Of Fame and in 2015 inducted into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Stevie won 6 Grammys, 5 W.C.Handy National Blues Awards and 10 Austin Music Awards and many more but even with all of that Stevie never got to enjoy a #1 hit but after his death Crossfire hit #1. On August 26,1990 Stevie went to East Troy Wisconsin to open 2 shows for Eric Clapton along with Robert Clay, Buddy Guy and his brother Jimmie Vaughan. Jimmie said Stevie came down from his hotel room and told Jimmie and the band he had a weird dream that he died and he was looking down at all these people crying but even though he was dead he felt at peace. On August 27,1990 after Eric Clapton finish his show Stevie, Buddy Guy, Robert Clay and Jimmie Vaughan went on stage and the last song Stevie would ever play was Sweet Home Chicago by Robert Johnson. On August 27,1990 Stevie boarded a helicopter that crashed into the side of a mountain right after takeoff and everyone on board were killed instantly, the pilot had just failed his test on using the gages for that helicopter, he never flew at night and he never flew that helicopter. STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN WILL ALWAYS BE THE GOAT imo
Best way to find another video to react to when it comes to SRV is just play one..... He was just on another level than anyone else..... Someone, say I'm wrong, I'll be waiting...... I will say this about SRV..... in order to understand his sound & who really influenced Stevie then you're going to have to check out the granddaddy GOAT who changed everything when it comes to the electric guitar JIMI HENDRIX! Start off with Hey Joe live at the Monterey Pop Festival...... Please fasten your seat belt before pushing play, you won't be disappointed
any song i should look out for....that's not Jump (i hate this song I'm afraid lol but luckily... it is the only song i know by van Halen) so im willing to give him another go
You may have just witnessed the most impressive guitar skill ever.
Also from capital theater ain't gone n give up on love and couldn't stand the weather both are great
His big brother had a great record collection
There is a video on RUclips of SRV doing a sound check that is amazing.
A suggestion for someone better than Stevie.....................
.........................................................................................
....................I got nothing, Michael. No one at all.
So I guess I'll just name another SRV, "the goatiest of all goats, songs. It's called Life Without You, at the Capital Theater. Very personal song for Stevie he wrote after losing one of his friends. Thank you and another great reaction. ✌❤
haha, yer I'm going to find it very difficult to find anything like this again.
Thats great, thank you for the suggestion, ive added it to my long list
Exactly, and it's not even the technical mastery, which is incredible, but feeling and intensity. An open channel, as many have said.
All the truly great guitarists never play to a script when playing live. They close their minds and let the music take over. The really hard part is instantly and flawlessly playing what the music is telling you to play
EVERYTHING!! ALWAYS!!!💜💜💜💜
NOONE better I have to listen to him every day He is the best with the live performances you should listen to Mary had a little lamb the GOAT for sure There is noone better for you to listen to !!
Amazing thank you, I've added it to my list of songs
right on...
Stevie Ray Vaughan can shred but he always perform with his heart and soul. BB King said “I play until I run out of ideas but Stevie Ray never runs out of ideas. Music just flows straight out from him.
IMO, this performance was his masterpiece... "Life without you" is another great live song that I would recommend.
Amazing Thank you, ive added it to my list :-)
The great guitarist of the age were in awe of Stevie. Eric Clapton said that every other player in the world sort of "takes a break" during improvised solos but not Stevie. He just continues to flow without hesitation. He played with all of the great black bluesmen that were still living and they all loved him as a person and a player.
It doesn't get any better than that!
Pride and joy
Pure Texas Blues. Saw him in Austen in 84, on a road trip from Houston. The last week XTC was leagle in Texas.
He was one of the best
I enjoyed your reaction! I was fortunate to expereince 8 SRV concerts before his tragic death. The man could touch your soul through his music.
I also suggest Life Without You, live at Capital Theater. It is a magical performance, almost like going to church spiritually.
Stevie wrote the song after the passing of a close mentor. And its good to have the lyrics pulled up. Peace. RIP SRV.
8!! that's insane haha, your so lucky...his passing is such a loss to everyone and the music world.
Thank you for the suggestion, its been added to my list 😊
Life Without You, live at Capitol theater.
perfect thank you, its been added to my list 😊
If this performance doesn't prove beyond any doubt that this is the GREATEST Blues/Rock Guitarist to ever walk the Earth then watch again people!
You were a joy to watch! And yes, more SRV. We can never get enough! Subscribed.
Try his exquisite "Riviera Paradise." And a twofer at Daytona Beach... "Love Struck Baby" (where he's having such a blast he can't help but dance), and then takes off at top speed doing "Rude Mood." I'm surprised the guitar didn't burst into flames🔥🔥🔥. Those definitely are fire-starting fingers!
Yes Sometimes-even-lyrical💯‼️. Riveria Paradise is my most favorite and is simply exquisite and the twofer is too much fun to handle🎊🪅👏🙌✌️
wow, thank you for the subscription 😊
I will definitely being doing more SRV down the line, i think I've got 4 songs in my list to do - and now I've added "Riviera Paradise." to that list 😁 - Thank you for thew suggestion!!
Thanks, Azimov.. SRV is, indeed, unique... he seems at the same time to be precise, and yet.. almost in a trance... he will be missed forever... appreciate your reaction, and look forward to more...
Thank you, that's very kind of you to say 😊... Yes he most definitely will be, such a Tragic Loss to the music world and everyone that knew him
He certainly knew how to make that guitar sing ❤
New subscriber here, I would like to suggest (Life without you) capitol theater NJ 1985 and( Tin pan alley) with guest Johnny Copland.
That's great thank you, I've added both of these song to my list of future reaction videos
Thank you for the subscription and welcome 😁
SRV ~ 🎸🐐 The goatiest goat in all of goatness
In this performance, he was in the midst of his drug and alcohol addiction, and there is a noticeable physical difference in his appearance when compared to your first SRV vid (Voodoo Child). In the Voodoo Child vid he is clean and sober and he looks healthy and happy. In fact, his music did a drastic change when he became sober. His 'In Step' album is about overcoming addiction and making amends (Tightrope) to those he hurt along the way. He also began to dabble is jazz (Riviera Paradise) and was leaning more towards Rock (Crossfire, The House is Rockin), yet still remaining true to his Blues roots (Leave My Girl alone).
As stated previously, he was a kind and humble soul and is sorely missed by his fanbase.
Next on your list must be:
**Life Without You at Capitol Theater**
He may, or may not, do some even crazier things with the guitar than he did in Texas Flood.🤷♂️😉
🎸🐐 The goatiest goat in all of goatness 😂😂🤣🤣 - Love it - I had to steal the saying 🤫
I did wonder about his health , compared to the other reaction video i did ( it was not the same gig as i originally thought lol) he looked very pale (i would say and sweaty, but that's a given).
I've got Life without you on my list as well as Tin Pan Alley which (as everyone is recommending these songs - so they must be good!) I will get hem done eventually .
I hope you get to see much more of SRV, he NEVER disappoints.
Brilliant music by the greatest 👏
So much depends where you grew up. I was raised in the south US with Prince. My husband lived closer to, say, Memphis, so grew up listening to more blues style music, including SRV. So far, I've only witnessed 3 people who - how do I put this? - was born with a guitar in their hands? Like the instrument was a part of their bodies - Jimi Hendrix, Prince, and SRV. This video is SICK! Thanks for watching it. Music is one way hubby & I connected: I introduced him to Prince, and he introduced me to SRV. We were each enthralled with what the other's "favorite' could do. We are now in our 50s, and both artists have sadly passed away. But we have only 2 things up in our home office: a poster of Prince in "Under The Cherry Moon," and a large sketch of SRV. They must be rocking away in Heaven!
awww that's amazing that you found each other through he love of music, i didn't get that with my partner she was into spice girls and what not when I got with her, but she loves her rock music now thankfully haha
haha yer I bet they are!! 🤘🤘
I will def. do some reaction videos for Hendrix and Prince in the future - thanks again for your comments :-)
Lucky to have seen him 3 times in concert. First time he was warming up for BOSTON. Had no idea who he was, but it was one of those "OMFG, who is this guy?" moments. Third time was with his brother Jimmie's band, The Fabulous Thunderbirds , warming up for him. In between sets, Jimmie sits down with a double neck guitar, Stevie stands behind him , and they start playing it together.
now i bet that was an experience ... not only did you hear him first hand ...but to hear and see him before he came huge! Super Jealous haha!!
oh, does Jimmy and his band have any songs i should check out?
@@Azimov-REACTS Thunderbirds 2 big hits were Tuff Enuff and Wrap It Up. There is a vid , somewhere here, of Stevie and Jimmie playng that double neck guitar together.
Peak level musician
SRV played more behind his back than most guitarist plays in front. And a little fun fact was when he was recording Voo Doo Child he went and asked Jimmy Hendrix father if he could borrow his foot pedal and Jimmy's father gave it to him.
oh wow! thats awesome f him to do that!
Sadly, I was at Stevie Ray Vaughn's last concert the night his helicopter crashed after the show at Alpine Valley Wisconsin August 26th 1990. The fog was so bad that we stopped and got a hotel room on the way home. The lineup was SRV, Eric Clapton, Robert Cray, Stevie's brother Jimmie and Buddy Guy. RIP SRV!
wow, it must have been a horrible morning to wake up and see this on the news! after you had just watched him live... but at least you were luck to witness his greatness first hand! - such a tragic loss to the music world and everyone that knew him
Stevie waged war on the guitar, the strings paid the price.
🤣
Check out the Live at Mocombo
Fantastic consert
No one compares to our Stevie🎸🎶💯. Great reaction👏🙌. Whoosh! That sound you hear is a new fan falling down the Stevie Ray rabbit hole🐇🐇. You are in for a world of delights and yes, if you have heard one song you like, you will get new versions of it each time he plays. He is a channel through which the music flows. His band mates are incredible in their support for Stevie and have to watch him like a hawk so they can keep him in his pocket no matter how many times he jumps in a new pocket. They watch him for clues because even Stevie has no idea where the music will take him so it always remains fresh and exciting. First time on your channel and I am subbing for more Stevie Ray 🎸🎶💙. Commenters have already given you great suggestions but may I suggest Tin Pan Alley performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival 1985 which features another Texan Blues man, Johnny Copeland. Together they put on a master class in down and dirty blues💙💙💙💯
ahh thank you 😊that i have! my biggest hate right now is that i cant listen to more .. instead im saving them for future reaction videos...... amazing thank you!, ive added you suggestion to my list of future reaction videos 😁
@@Azimov-REACTSI appreciate it‼️🎶🎸💙💯
If you want to see how smooth Stevie was when he broke a string, check out Look at Little Sister. My favorite vocal performance is Ain't Gone 'N Give Up on Love. SRV wrote both of these songs.
I used to frequent the El Mocambo in the 70's and we referred to it as The Elmo. Missed this one though 😭.
Another great SRV video is Look At Little Sister, with Jeff Healey. Jeff will blow you away and you can see Stevie smile when Jeff takes the lead. They admired one another and sadly, both are gone now. FYI - Jeff was blind.
Thanks & cheers from Canada!
I've done a reaction video for Little Sister (here's the link 😉 ruclips.net/video/PsjMoTDQqeE/видео.html ), im not sure if this is the same one
Thanks for watching 😊
It's been said before but I'll say it again. Where does the guitar end and SRV begin? It's like they are one instrument. He makes it look easy but the sweat, the grimacing, the endurance. Wow. Thanks for the react!
he really does make it look so easy and effortless! - Thank you for the comment 😊
Anything by SRV is exceptional, but if you want to hear some beautiful instrumentals, Riviera Paradise, Little Wing, and Lenny, will blow you away.
This is great thank you, ive added them to my list :-)
@@Azimov-REACTSRiveria Paradise is my most favorite creation of Stevie's and I believe the best version is from Austin City Limits 1989🎸🎶‼️💙
yeah bruv ..
Srv has a sound check video with several million views.
I suggest tin pan ally, ain’t gonna give up on love, sky is crying, leave my girl alone,rude mood, scuttle buttin there’s so many good songs by him
Yep. SRV was just silly good. So much good music from him and others who wanted to join him on stage. Try to keep it music live.
My Brother brought 7 to 13 guitar's with em. Kiya Lynn Vaughan Stevie's Little Sister. ❤
Stevie didn't have a sister? An older brother Jimmie but no sister
No one better, a great loss to the world when he died. Check out the group Pentatonix, best in the a capella world.
this is great thank you, any song i should look out for?
Chris Layton on drums plus Tommy Shannon (ex-Johnny Winter's bands) = "Double Trouble." They later (1985) added Reese Wynans on impeccable bluesy keyboard. Other commenters on other sites mention SRV used heavier-than-normal guitar strings, so he was plucking CABLES and not strings! And how he bends so many of the notes in a song, he wears out even those heavy-duty strings. I've read that his hands were extraordinarily strong! Find a vid of "Look at Little Sister" for and emergency change of guitar due to a broken string; his crew is so sharp, not a single note or beat is missed.
Little sister is being released today. And wow your right!!! not...a...beat...missed!!! - Thanks for the recommendation...it was truly mind blowing!
Check out 3rd stone from the sun at the festival or El Macombo. Warnin' mind blower Alert.❤ Ya'll got your warnin'. ❤❤❤❤
amazing - added it to my list thank you :-)
That ain't sweat that's dripping off Stevie, that some of Pablo's top shelf booger sugar escaping!...lol..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸👋🤠
🤭
He just different.
Hey, Azimov - like your reaction so much, I've watched a couple of times... recently read that he once said "I don't play with much finesse.. I usually play like I'm breaking out of jail".. which pretty much sums up his style... thanks again!
aww thanks for the lovely words :-) means a lot
haha yer it actually does sum up his play style 😂
Eric Clapton once said that after hearing SRV play, he himself wanted to quit playing.. BB King once said SRV was the best he has ever heard.
Speaking of not missing a beat, check out Look At Little Sister from the 1989 Austin City Limits show. Watch for a broken string in the middle of his guitar solo followed by replacing the guitar... WITHOUT MISSING A BEAT.
Perfect thank you - this has been added to my list 😊
Stevie is the GOAT. regardless of genre, and this is the greatest use of a guitar I have ever heard in my 58 years.
This is '83. Strongest recommendation to do Stevie's cover of Hendrix's 'Little Wing' from this same show. It's nearly as good a guitar performance as this but I think a better song.
amazing thank you, ive added it to my list of songs
Well he does have a big brother who plays guitar. Jimmy Vaughn, his band The Fabulous Thunderbirds do more 50's style music. There's a video of them playing Pipeline together that you should check out.
Amazing Thank you, its been added to my list
The Devil himself wouldn't stand a chance against SRV = now for the meanest blues duo "Tin Pan Alley" with SRV and Johnny Copeland live
haha well said!, Thank you for the suggestion, its been added to my list :-)
Just for fun you should listen to Stevie’s “Sound Check” It’s better than the average band’s regular concert
awesome, will do.. thank you :-)
There is NO ONE better than Stevie Ray. Hendrix,Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Randy Rhoades, and Ritchie Blackmore are probably the closest ones but Stevie is on a completely different level.
ohh interesting, I've got suggestions for Hendrix and Van Halen, can you suggest anything for the other three i cn add to my list?
Steve Vai, Randy Rhoades, and Ritchie Blackmore
But yer SRV is most definitely on another level with his skills!!
@@Azimov-REACTS Deep Purple-Knocking at your back door ( Blackmore ), Ozzy Osbourne- Crazy Train, Mr. Crowley, (Rhoads), Steve Vai-For the love of God
Perfect Thank you 😊
Stevie was still battling addiction here. An hour before the show, he was in a cocaine induced coma and had to be revived by medical personnel with IV fluids and vitamins. Hence all the extra extra notes and sweat. Tommy Shannon (bass) claims this show was their best performance on tape.
oh wow...thats insane!!! - i did think he looked more pale in this compared to the reaction video i did on Voodoo Child
Another little tidbit you might want to know about SRV, he used 13 gauge strings, which is very hard to play.
SRV❤️. No one speaks to my heart and soul like SRV! I think you would enjoy SRV Life Without You live from The Capitol Theater.
Perfect thank you, ive added the song to my list :-)
I respect other opinions and music is subjective but I stand by that this is the greatest live blues or otherwise guitar performance we have in existence. Oh jeez, I went absurdly long with comment, so if that annoys anyone, I get it, it's kind of absurd, but I love Stevie - he is my guitar player idol I modelled my own journey after, and I love this genre on YT, so I had to just post and let it flow. So, "Texas Flood" El Mocambo, hell of an intro - 2nd song, sorry - but the journey now begins. I'll let other commenters point the way. As for Stevie, he studied so many styles - Texas Blues he grew up in, but Chicago blues, Delta blues, Texas folk blues, the British Blues invasion, HENDRIX, Surf Rock, Jazz Guitar, Southern Rock, Swing, Elvis, Country -all of it, he mastered note for note as a prodigy (that is obvious) and then had his older brother by 4 years Jimmie Vaughan get famous in his teens in the Texas Blues scene, so by 16 Stevie was gigging in Austin sleeping at 5am on Pool Tables...and by the time we see him here, 10 years have passed from those early days and HE IS AN ABSOLUTE MONSTER of a musical mind, not just a guitar wizard - and he has soul and is in tune with 'that other place' where the best artists go to bring back something in real time even they aren't sure of how its being created/controlled, but he was a channel to it and had the skill to allow it to flow out into his guitar, and do it literally rarely missing a fret or note let alone playing super fast, or super crunchy, or light as a feather delicate, and creating his CRUSHING tone on that famous beat up 62 Fender Strat. It is called "#1" maybe the guitar more guitar players on earth would covet the most if their were such a poll, it is the baddest guitar ever, and part of how he got his sound. He used insanely thick strings - .13 gage they're called, an average guitarist plays with .9s, 10s if you want to ramp up your tone - Stevie played electric wires and did bends and vibrato that were inconceivable. This is a crucial element to his NASTY tone, just equally as gangster as any guitarist could dream off, to light as a feather, shaking his guitar for that always present vibrato. But his tone - with few effects, just something called a Tube Screamer and a Wah Pedal, and that blues-perfect sound a Fender Stratocaster provides, that is as impressive as his playing, and along with his unique amalgam of styles re-purposed into a blues guitar gun slinger, his instantly recognizable sound, and his really catchy tunes (like the blues is just a simple basis so it takes some talent to keep the interesting songs coming and SRV managed to do that which is why you are in for an incredible journey as you can marvel at his playing, his band, his voice - but you'll find yourself digging the songs and how much range there is styles there.) But he has a legendary story, and so often those stories end with tragedy, as his did. But maybe even before doing another song, I may be a lone wolf in this being my recommendation for next video, watch "Stevie Ray Vaughan Guitar Lesson" to get to meet him interviewed, get a quick part of his redemption story and why he is an inspiration and so beloved by so many, this humble guy - with some ridiculous playing mixed in! For there to have been a Stevie Ray Vaughan, a truly 1 in a billion tiny chance of random things needed to occur - born in Dallas in blues country, with an older brother who was also a guitar prodigy at an early age, Stevie being born with a savant-level of natural musical aptitude, endless love for listening to and soaking in all music, then playing/practicing all day every day from age 7 to learn those songs note for note, then through his brother's success and the path he saw, a move to Austin at age age 16 when he could already really play, seriously PLAY (Austin particularly via a club called Antone's where Stevie came into his own if you will -Blues Central since the late 70's), where he gained unique opportunities to meet and play with legendary electric blues players like BB King and Buddy Guy - idols of his, and particularly one Titanic Electric blues legend of the 60's, Albert King, who took him on as a God Son; and that brotherly rivalry with Jimmy Vaughan(I get to see him live next Friday in a little club outside Washington DC!), an incredible laser precision surgeon of a player who Stevie would have told you and meant it, was better than he was easily, always up and until the day we lost him. Add this to his special affinity to the other big name you hear as Guitar God #1, Mr. Hendrix, who also shaped him immensely - among many things, just Jimi's willingness to be free and wild, and let those Virtuoso skills go free and unbridled - and how SRV came to be becomes more and more clear. Then bringing back in Charlie Christian and Wes Montgomery jazz influences, like we see on a great next video I see some likes for below "Mary Had a Little Lamb" where he quiets down a section, his 2nd solo part into a more jazzy vibe, and songs like "Lenny" and "Riviera Paradise;" or a song like "Dirty Pool" where he strums using tremolo picking (the super fast up and down strumming of all 6 strings or sometimes a solo or couple strings we see sprinkled throughout various parts of the above performance, which he learned from Surf Rock pioneer and great friend and idol, Dick Dale (all the cool music in "Pulp Fiction") - it appears in Mexican jazz/blues too, which is part of the subtle roots of difference in Texas Blues to Delta or Chicago Blues. Long comment alert, apologies - the more you watch the more you love this humble man who only shined to the world for 7 years, but it is so awesome through this corner of the internet - YT reaction videos, my guilty relaxation pleasure - so any time seeing a new passionate individual with a channel delve into the bands and artists I love for the first time, and presents it and does it well as you have, it is super fun. Thanks for the time and here's to many more chills via SRV, and the potential for many more bands and artists you don't even know are coming your way yet, that will enhance your love of music and your life so beautifully! Peace//
Hi Drew, if it annoys anyone... They don't need to read it and the don't appreciate your love and passion for Stevie haha - as for me.... I love it and I want to firstly say a big thank you for taking the time to wite this.
I didn't realise there were so many different types of Blues - Literally thought it was just .. The blues ... Ill have to look into this - do some research and see if I can understand the difference between the different styles....Such a talented man to be able to learn all of these styles including the others you've mentioned - yes i totally agree he is a monster!!
Yer ive seen other comments about Stevie using super thick strings, and even these he snapped easily which is Crazy!
Ill def. check out "Stevie Ray Vaughan Guitar Lesson" - is it something a music reaction video can be done to? or is it a video i should watch and enjoy in my free time?
Any idea what his father/mother did? its strange (but for us amazingly great) that both Vaughan Brothers were so musically talented - Can you recommend a good song I can do a reaction video by his brother?
Your finishing sentence, ... That's really nice of you to say Thank you for these kind words, and im glad your enjoying them - im still in the early stages but keep trying to get better at this all the time (check out my first (Foo Fighters) Video - its terrible haha)
I cant wait for all the new bands (Spoiler Alert - Ive just recorded a reaction for the Moody Blues - to be released on Friday - and WOW!!)
Thank you again for taking your time to write your comment, its very much appreciated
He played with his solei goi am 60 years old when when I heard that he got killed I cryed
I didn't come on here to proclaim that Stevie was the greatest guitarist of all time. I will however proclaim that whoever's #2 has got a fair amount of catching up to do.
haha this is great
Try Buckethead. He is probably the most unknown GOAT Guitarplayer 😃
ok cheers, ill add it to the list - any song i should look out for??
@@Azimov-REACTS Don´t know, he´s very diverse. Maybe "Soothsayer" would be good for start for that´s probably his most mainstream song. Or "Gory Head Stomp" as a good example for his diverse skills.
Perfect thank you
There isn't any musicians like Stevie Ray Vaughan any more alot try to copy but there poor reflections. Great reaction.
Thank you 😊
Stevie took 13 guitars with em. All the time on the road.
that's insane! - but obviously needed!
I brought my girlfriend to a SRV concert back in the day and she ended up marrying me lol serious brown points 👉 thank you Stevie and Double Trouble for helping me

EARTH SAVED!! 😀

Thanks for the suggestion, its been added to my list 😁
They tried to separate srv and the strat at birth! Thank God they couldn't
🤣😂
This song was written by Larry Davis and Joseph Scott in 1955, Larry Davis recorded it in 1958, Joseph Scott was having relationship problems so that's what came from this song. Stevie Ray heard that Larry Davis never got payed royalties so and alot of people use this song but Stevie Ray being a great man payed Larry Davis every dime out of his own pocket. Stevie Ray played so much he had alot of calluses, when a callus would come off he would put supper glue on it put it on a good piece of skin rip it off and put it back on the spot it came off 😂 😂. I think that Double Trouble doesn't get the recognition they deserve, Stevie Ray started a band called The Triple Threat Reuve with vocalist Lou Ann Barton but she left on November 24,1979 so Stevie Ray took over the vocals. Tommy Shannon basses joined a band called Krackerjack with Stevie Ray when they were teens in school but lost touch until June 23,1981 when Tommy Shannon replaced Jackie Newhouse, drummer Chris Layton joined The Triple Threat Reuve drums replacing Jack Moore and Reese Wynans joined Double Trouble on June 7,1985, In 1980 Stevie Ray changed the name to Double Trouble. Stevie Ray never used a play list he said because he never learned to read music he played from the heart so he didn't know what song he was going to play or how he was going to play it until he got on stage so that right there shows how amazing Double Trouble was keeping up with Stevie Ray and never missing a beat. So many great Blues artists loved Stevie Ray , Eric Clapton said he was at a festival watching Stevie Ray perform, after Stevie Ray was done Eric Clapton said "you expect me to go on after that?" And actually left. You can watch a post on RUclips called What Great Guitarist Think Of Stevie Ray Vaughan. Albert King performed a show called In Session with Stevie Ray, I think is a must watch, Albert King was actually Stevie Ray's godfather. The song " Life Without You" Stevie Ray shows so much of his crazy insane talent. Stevie Ray not only tuned his guitar while playing but he also played behind his head, backwards, one hand, broken string, switch guitar in the middle of a solo and never missed a beat, his teeth, elbow, adjust his AMP'S while playing one handed even no hands just by moving the guitar up and down side to side and play behind his back longer than anyone ever could. Another great reaction thanks
Oh wow!! what a kind and caring Guy!!, that's supper gross about the calluses haha
Yer the band mates deserve a medal being bale to adjust and play with Stevie, they deserve a lot more credit because that's super impressive! - even more so that (as you said) he apparently changed how songs sounded each time.
Can you recommend a song by Albert King? - will be worth doing a reaction video?
Ive added Life without you to my list of songs to react to (SSV list just keeps getting bigger and bigger haha)
Thank you for saying you enjoyed the reaction, it means a lot :-), i would also like to thank you for taking your time leaving me this great comment
Don't lie to me or match box Blues are really good, don't lie to me from In Session Albert King and Stevie Ray talk in the beginning of the song and Albert King is giving Stevie Ray some really good advice, you can see so much love and respect between the two. The hole Session is awesome because they talk about how they met and funny stories. You will see Albert King jam but the crazy thing is he's never used a pick. Albert King was performing at a place called Antone's, it was owned by Clifford Antone. Stevie Ray was always a huge fan of Albert King's so Stevie went to Antone's in 1973 and asked Clifford to ask Albert King if he could sit in with him and of course Albert said no. Alot of people say Albert King didn't like anybody but Stevie kept coming back until Albert said bring him up thinking he was going to show Stevie how it's done but was amazed watching Stevie and took Stevie under his wing. Albert King was born Albert Nelson on April 25,1923 he was one of the greatest Blues guitarist of all time, his album Born Under A Bad Sign another great song with Albert and Stevie came out in 1967. Albert was left handed so he always played his guitar upside down 😂 😂 he had 13 siblings that sang in church. When Albert King started performing on the Blues around Texas he told everyone he was B.B. King's half brother and used the same nickname Blues Boy and had a guitar named Lucy. He started using the name Albert King and not Albert Nelson in 1953, B. B. King said he was upset about it but after he met Albert King Albert King was right they were brothers in Blues. I should tell you about Albert King first guitar, it's funny so Albert King's father left the family when Albert was only 5 years old but his dad played guitar so Albert took a cigar box, a piece of bush and a strand of Broom wire and made his guitar, he eventually bought a real guitar for $1.25 (the good old days) so being left handed he turned it upside down and played that way. I'm sorry I went way to long again, I try not to. I love your reactions there great. I've been a huge fan of Stevie Ray's for over 40 yrs and had to know everything about him but only in interviews from the artist themselves not rumors or hearsay. I know from birth right up to after his death. Alot of thing were sad in his life and more but I think I would have cramped fingers and 2 days to commit all so I'll tell you after the videos you play.
Might be worth a quick reference on Wikipedia to a new artist for a bit of background. Not many people pick up on the little tune up he does in the middle there.
Have a look at Third Stone From The Sun from El Mocambo…. Alternative title…. While My Guitar Technician Gently Weeps.
thank you for the comment - i was thinking about it but at the same time i don't want it to dimmish my true first time reaction, but i guess finding out basic info wont do that, ill give it a go in the future, I'm always trying to better my channel so thank you again for you comment 😊
Jeff Beck You never know please
Ive added it to my list :-)
Are you related to Isaac Asimov?
No Unfortunately not, our names are spelt slight different - amazing author though
Not bad for an American huh? Not bad at all. RIp.
SRV was good, but Duane was better
Stevie was "good"---that's all??
This song Texas Flood was written by Larry Davis and Joseph Scott in 1955, Larry Davis recorded and released it in 1958, when Stevie found out Larry Davis never got payed any royalties enen though so many people have used the song Stevie payed Larry Davis his royalties out of his own pocket, he was an amazing person with a huge heart. Stevie was born in Dallas Texas on October 3,1954 and has a brother named Jimmie Vaughan who is 3 yrs older then Stevie and is a great guitarist In his own right, he had a band called The Fabulous Thunderbirds but never achieved the success Stevie did. Jimmie was the first to get an electric guitar and Stevie loved it, he would play it whenever Jimmie left the house. Stevie got his first guitar when he was 7 years old for this birthday with cowboys and Indians on it but even though it was a toy guitar Stevie taught himself how to play Wine Wine Wine by Stick McGhee and Thunderbird by The Night Caps AMAZING on a toy. When Jimmie brought a Muddy Watters record Stevie said when he heard it he was stuck on the Blues, that what he played the most through out his career. In 1964 when Stevie was 10 he had his first gig at a roller rink with a band he joined called The Chantones so Jimmie gave Stevie his first electric guitar. Stevie left the band and joined a band called Krackerjack along with Double Troubles basses Tommy Shannon, Stevie had a hard time breaking into the music industry. In 1977 Stevie put a band together called The Triple Threat Reuve and has Lou Ann Barton on vocals but when Lou Ann left on November 24,1979 Stevie took over on vocals and in 1980 Stevie changed the name to Double Trouble. Chris Layton joined The Triple Threat Reuve on September 10,1978, Tommy Shannon basses joined Double Trouble on June 23,1981 ,later Reese Wynans joined Double Trouble on June 7,1985. Stevie's career only span 7yrs but he accomplished so much in only 7yrs starting with the release of his first album Texas Flood on June 13,1983. On November 18,1984 Stevie won a W.C.Handy National Blues Award, Entertainer Of The Year and Instermental Of The Year Stevie was the first white musician to win either. On December 13 1983 Stevie's Austin City Limits video was voted Guitar Player Magazine's Best New Talent, Best Electric Blues Guitar Player and Best Guitar Album with Texas Flood, Stevie and Jeff Beck are the only 2 Triple award guitarist ever. Stevie was the first musician to be inducted into The Austin Music Hall Of Fame in 1982, in 2000 he was inducted into The Blues Hall Of Fame and in 2015 inducted into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Stevie won 6 Grammys, 5 W.C.Handy National Blues Awards and 10 Austin Music Awards and many more but even with all of that Stevie never got to enjoy a #1 hit but after his death Crossfire hit #1. On August 26,1990 Stevie went to East Troy Wisconsin to open 2 shows for Eric Clapton along with Robert Clay, Buddy Guy and his brother Jimmie Vaughan. Jimmie said Stevie came down from his hotel room and told Jimmie and the band he had a weird dream that he died and he was looking down at all these people crying but even though he was dead he felt at peace. On August 27,1990 after Eric Clapton finish his show Stevie, Buddy Guy, Robert Clay and Jimmie Vaughan went on stage and the last song Stevie would ever play was Sweet Home Chicago by Robert Johnson. On August 27,1990 Stevie boarded a helicopter that crashed into the side of a mountain right after takeoff and everyone on board were killed instantly, the pilot had just failed his test on using the gages for that helicopter, he never flew at night and he never flew that helicopter. STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN WILL ALWAYS BE THE GOAT imo
Eruption by Eddie Van Halen live version
Amazing thankyou, ive added it to my list
Best way to find another video to react to when it comes to SRV is just play one.....
He was just on another level than anyone else.....
Someone, say I'm wrong, I'll be waiting......
I will say this about SRV..... in order to understand his sound & who really influenced Stevie then you're going to have to check out the granddaddy GOAT who changed everything when it comes to the electric guitar JIMI HENDRIX! Start off with Hey Joe live at the Monterey Pop Festival......
Please fasten your seat belt before pushing play, you won't be disappointed
This is great thank you 😊
Ive added Jimi Hendrix 0 Hey Joe Live to my list - i may look at doing this one next week
Eddie Van Halen is the goat. Period
any song i should look out for....that's not Jump (i hate this song I'm afraid lol but luckily... it is the only song i know by van Halen) so im willing to give him another go
