@John Deere Green, I agree with you completely! There are songs that she has reacted to, songs I've known my whole life, and she'll point out something that I have never considered, missed or just never realized... and I'm just blown away!
No she doesn't she explains music like a Elementary School music teacher. And her little sex noises when she hears stuff is very over dramatic. I totally think she's a fraud no you don't come out of her videos learning anyting. If she was truly a good vocal coach she would not be on RUclips.
I saw Stevie about a year before he died, and I cried during that show. No one before or sense has played or sang with such style and emotion. I'm crying now, he was a gift
I Saw Stevie A Few Weeks Before His Crash & I Told Him Then How Much His Music Meant To Me & His Testament Of Sobriety! I Began In AA About The Same Time Stevie Did In Late 1986...His LIVING THRU & Recovering From His SEVERE & Lifelong Addictions To Cocaine & Alcohol Were Not Just Very Unlikely - They Were A MIRACLE! God Had Stevie His Whole Life! Stevie Knew It, Too! He Knew Where His Incredible Gifts - & They Were Many - Came From! And He Gave Us A Large Chunk Of His Soul & Deep Heart Before He Left Us...I Still Miss Him So Much! Soul💞Soul, Stevie💗😘
I saw Stevie do this song in Birmingham in 1984 (i think) and the fabulous thunderbirds opened. When he did Tin Pan Alley it was my favorite. If I remember correctly he sat on the edge of the stage facing the crowd. I was about 7 rows away. It was fantastic.
Johnny was one of Stevie's hero's! The little conference at the beginning is Stevie explaining to Johnny that he tunes down a half step, because Johnny was looking at Stevie's guitar to figure out what key they were playing in. My next suggestion, because you play piano, is to go visit SRV doing "Look at Little Sister" live at Austin City Limits. Stevie lets Reese lose for 24 bars of smoking B3 playing! Also don't blink!
You posted same thing as me, first. You win. And Reese definitely can tickle the keys. Riviera Paradise is probably my favorite collaboration of Stevie and Reese. The piano in SRV's Riviera Paradise was Stevie giving Reese a spotlight he deserved. Stevie was loved because he was humble and kind. You'd be stunned how calm and sweet of a personality had. His laughter was probably what his friends and loved ones missed the most. SRV's laugh was real life. I saw him on stage too many times to count, and lots of warmup sound checks. The one time I spoke to him I was awestruck but he was just so nice. Sometimes people who make it big time change to someone you can't stand. Not Stevie.
@@Greg-io1ip man, I’m jealous. I missed him by just under a year after his death. I was stationed in Tennessee and went to the Memphis in May blues festival in ‘91. All the blues clubs on Beale Street had photos of SRV performing in them. So many great performances at that festival and BB King had the grand opening of his blues club at that event. It was amazing, but it would’ve been epic with Stevie there.
Johnny was one of Stevie's huge influences , much like BB king. One thing that always stuck an emotional chord with me. Stevie was getting very famous , yet , he would very often invite his idols on stage at his big venues in order to showcase where his influences came from. The most emotional part of this , is that Steve gave them center stage and almost sits back like hes the opening act and they are the main attraction , and he does this because of one thing, Respect. Stevie was extremely respectful of everyone of his teachers. I love that Stevie never forgot where he came from. The man was truly and inspiration for anyone. The poster child for humility.
When he was a kid, Stevie was famous for being able to play in many styles. People would say, "Play this like Clapton" then "Now play it like BB King." And he would. There are a few extremely rare recordings that I couldn't tell you how to find.
Yeah, when they are doing solos back to back Stevie doesn't come as a second and play fast flurry of notes. Not that fastness is all there is to playing, but it might seem like he's trying to compete the other player. Instead for example here he takes completely different style on his turn in middle solos and does his section just a chord soloing which fits great to change the feeling there. With other players I have seen him do also similar things and kept his solos more in line with the other player, but with his own style of course.
The show he did with Albert King was great as well. They not only played well together they had fun throwing little gigs at each other out of respect. They played as equals and that made it great.
@@Azznbad Albert was well known for being a bit prickly regarding other guitarist. He could easily have perceived Stevie as a young upstart white boy pretender to the blues, but Stevie had already won him over before he became famous when at 22 yrs old he asked repeatedly to sit in on an Albert King set till Albert relented and gave him a go.
If you haven’t checked out his album he made with “The Godfather” Albert King, then I’m depressed for you. SRV, especially near the end of his life made a huge effort to record with all of his heroes. For a song recommendation.. listen to Stevie and Albert play “Ask Me No Questions.” It’s absolutely amazing.
Lord! Stevie and Copeland really gave it their all that night. Probably the best singing from Stevie I have ever heard. Those people had no idea how lucky they were to attend that live. Glad someone recorded it.
@@robertberkowicz6684 But you still had to physically DO IT ... and did you know, Stevie's stuff was very much free of overdubs and "punch-ins"... The entire Texas Flood album was recorded live in the room, many songs in one or two takes. The title track was done in one take, just minutes before their studio time expired... something like two or three minutes left
To watch how she enjoys the ENTIRE experience of SRV, makes an old man so happy and fulfilled.. Her husband is a lucky, lucky man to have her to himself! Please keep sharing these videos with us!!
I'm a 56 year old hard Rocking geetar player. I had never heard music like this. I was in my twenties. I've been a guitar teacher for over twenty years and the biggest poster I have on the wall is Stevie. He is so amazing. Thank you for reacting to this song
The studio recording of this track is notable for being one of the highest quality recordings ever made. If you ever want to audition a stereo…this is the ‘go-to’ track. It’s mesmerising!
Truth. Before that, if you wanted to test out a pair of high dollar speakers it was Shine On You Crazy Diamond. At the height of Hair Metal, this was some mind-blowing stuff.
I love how giddy diving into Stevie Ray makes you. The rest of us almost take his greatness for granted at this point, so seeing someone take such joy in diving into his body of work brings us experience what it felt like to hear him for the first time all over again. It can also be bittersweet, much like your dive into the grunge era, as it reminds us what we lost all too soon, as well. I guess we're fortunate in a way that great music is essentially immortal as long as we have recordings like this to go back to.
I truly believe when Stevie was born his mother delivered a guitar as well. A package deal from the gods. Rip Stevie. I can't fathom what we were robbed of from this guitar genius. I also believe that the contrasting guitars were a conversation between the 2 men
SRV made his guitar sing the blues better than most vocalists ever could. Eric Clapton, talking about watching SRV play live, the night before he died, said "His playing was so majestic that I had to leave early out of jealousy."
Having had the experience of seeing both of these musicians live, I am so glad that you chose the Montreux Jazz performance featuring both of them together. They are both Texas based and I always love to go see Texas musicians since I live in Houston. Seeing Johnny Copeland was an experience not to be missed, but seeing SRV was an out of this world happening that I will never forget. I saw SRV before he was really known to a lot of the world and he had the audience mesmerized. I have never seen that before or since at a live show. There was little noise from the audience as it seemed everybody was anticipating the next note or word that came from the stage. I am glad that you have shown such a fondness for SRV.
No disrespect to Johnny Copeland whatsoever. However, the LIVE performance SRV gives on the songs "Tin Pan Alley/Dirty Pool" in Tokyo, to me is SRV in his finest hour. The feel & vibe in Stevie's playing that night really shows there's somethings in certain artists like SRV that you can't teach, bottle or buy, AKA the "IT" factor. Check it out if y'all aren't hip! ++Peace, Funk & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Souls & All That Jazz My Friends++
This was probably a great experience for SRV because Johnny Copeland was one of his greatest influences. SRV was a very humble guitarist because even as great as he was he would always step out of the spotlight when playing with one of his blues influences and let them shine.
Stevie is the greatest there ever was. Even tho I didn't know him personally I cried like my best friend died that day. SUCH A MASTER. He can evoke every emotion with his guitar and transports me to another world whenever I listen to him. And all these years later I still listen in awe
Johnny Copeland was one of the many Blues artists that inspired Stevie Ray Vaughan and you could tell he loved preforming with any of his idols. Also, what they were laughing at at the end of the performance was that, when Johnny Copeland came to the mic, he forgot his verse, so he improvised by playing a solo on his guitar!
came to the comments to say this, it ended up being really cool he thought he remembered right up to where he actually opened his mouth to sing then had to improvise. and stevie wagging his finger after when he was doing the verse instead
Thank you, Elizabeth, for giving us such an insightful analysis of the dynamic interplay between SRV and Copeland, compare and contrast extraordinaire ... I learn so much from your observations! Kudos!!!
Elizabeth, you are my absolute favorite reaction video poster! I love not only your unique musical perspectives--- compared to other reaction video folks--- but your wonderful personality, facial expressions, and enthusiasm. By the way, try one of Stevie's pieces from his '89 Austin City Limit performance. He had overcome his addictions, and he and his band were really tearing it up that night. Stevie was the greatest of guitarists---that's for sure! God bless you and your family, Elizabeth!
My best friend died on June 9th this year just days past his 50th birthday. We both tried to play guitar, and his greatest influence was SRV. Stevie dying here in WI, so close to us was a SHOCK and hit him hard. I'm on a binge on SRV, and you are doing an incredible job realizing his greatness. Thank you.
This is my favorite SRV song. So happy to see this being covered. 🤠🎸 Edit: I hope Elizabeth listens to the studio version (which is amazing) just to see how much ad-libbing is done here (which is a part of the live blues experience and is a testament to their level of skill and talent).
Johnny Copeland was one of Stevie's heroes when he started playing. You can see the joy that Stevie gets playing with the musicians he has as heroes. This song is a master class for blues guitar. You should check out another one where Stevie got the chance to play with his biggest influence, Albert King, "Born on a Bad Sign. Stevie plays more of a backing role while Albert King takes the lead. For a more fun song, Stevie Ray's "Cold Shot" is a just a really fun to play. Thank you so much for helping to keep Stevie Ray Vaughn's music alive.
This man continues to blow me away after all these years with his guitar talent and his underrated vocals I have never seen this performance with johnny Copland who I'm not that familiar with but boy he had some great vocals and the performance between the two was fantastic keep the Stevie Ray Vaughan videos coming I can't get enough of him
that rhythmic pattern at around 26:00 is extremely hard to do if not impossible for most players. Plus the dissonate notes is just begging for a resolve, which he does finally give you. What a master!
speaking as a long time guitar player I have to say, every time I hear Stevie Ray, he absolutely knocks my socks off, his olaying was astoundingly brilliant. Killer tone and incomparable feel and taste. Just wonderful in every way possible. Great choice
I thank God that Stevie lived and in 2023 with a few finger taps I can find him in two dimensions and still be taken away from this crazy world to just as you've said here a place of pure "divinity". I never met Stevie Ray but I truly do love and miss that man. R.I.P
@@Skulllywag Northeast Ohio in the late 80s early 90s. If you weren't listening to Garth Brooks flavored country or whatever hip hop the kids find cool this year you are going to be mocked from that corner.
When You Go Back & Listen To Stevie Talk About How He Was Inspired To Play & How He Spent So Many Countless Hours Becoming One With The Guitar - It's Easy To See! THEN - Stevie Descovered He Could SING....🙌
Thank you for highlighting Stevie's vocal prowess. His guitar playing is unbelievable, but from the beginning, his vocals really hit me equally as hard. I was blessed to see him live on two occasions. Blues is based on emotion. Check out Stevie's influences and you'll see where the evolution of his voice came from. The three Kings (B.B., Albert, and Freddie), Otis Rush, T-Bone Walker...some incredible singers in the Blues genre. HIGHLY recommend he recently released documentary entitled "Brothers In Blues", chronicling his life and beautiful relationship with his brother Jimmie-an amazing player in his own right.
Riviera paradise is another great jazzy instrumental. It's on of my favorites from Instep album. It will actually bring a tear to my eye. It's that beautiful.
Elizabeth is going to absolutely love this!!! The next SRV performance should be 'Life Without You' from Nashville 1987. His speech in the middle, where he talks about quitting the drinking/drugs less than a year before, will give you an even greater appreciation for the man! Then 'Cold Shot' from Austin City Limits 1989. Stevie worked so hard at improving his singing and the hard work definitely paid off. Cause his voice is phenomenal on that particular performance. And since you love keys, you'll love Reese Wynans masterful playing!
@@thomashardman108 specifically the Nashville 1987 one. So many people do the one from the 1985 Capital Theater show or the one from 1986 Orpheum show. Stevie is in such rough shape during both performances, but especially the 1986 (about a month before he almost died and had to go to rehab) performance, that it's hard to watch. The song takes on a whole new meaning when he cleaned up. You get the original meaning and also what he turned it into after he cleaned up!
Love this performance! It might be the highlight performance of a show that’s full to the brim with excellent performances. The whole Montreux ‘85 show is KILLER
The video of his sound check is a mini concert in itself! Most intense and entertaining sound check I've ever seen. Still enthralled that I got to see him live, before he was so well known. The man and his guitar were a singularity, actually. #letsgettoit ##letsgobackonemoretime
Is that the soundcheck that looks like he just rolled out of bed and just rips right into Scuttlebuttin'? Also where the keyboard falls to ground when his stool breaks? Yeah, that's yet another amazing SRV video record.
Brings chills down my spine every time I hear him. SRV was 3 months older than me and I (a drummer) just felt so at home listening to him playing and the room he gave to everyone to shine in their own way. A sorely missed legend.
Elizabeth! This was amazing! I can't believe you really did it! I was pushing for this one, knowing it was less likely for being so long and slow. But I'm so glad you did it and loved it. It's such a masterclass in electric blues, on multiple levels. Thank you for giving us a reason to be giddy and inspired with you at the end of a long week! Suggestion for his next song: "Ain't gonna give up on love" OR "cold shot", both live of course.
Elizabeth has the best emotional reaction followed by technical explanation and evaluation on RUclips!!! So entertaining and informative watching her!!!!!
I really enjoyed watching this with you! Also Stevie’s Texas Flood. Really great reaction and wonderful analysis. I already play some guitar. But you’re inspiring me to try to learn how to sing. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart ❤😊🎉🎉🎉
I agree that SRV was one of the great musical minds the world has ever known, he was a sponge, soaking up music from his many influences including Johnny Copeland, but what came back was all SRV. SRV was always so humble and respectful too. You really need to view some of the videos of him and Albert King playing together. Albert King viewed Stevie almost as a son and dispensed advice and guidance and Stevie humbly agreed with everything and promised he'd do his best. Something like that could so easily come across as kind of cringey, but both men loved and respected each other so it's genuinely moving. That fast strumming where he moves his hand up and back is INCREDIBLY difficult to do, particularly for that long and that accurately. SRV understood not only how to get the right notes out of his guitar, but he could express so much with different tonal qualities of the same notes. Every time I watch SRV it's a bitter sweet experience. I'm so glad that we have his fantastic music, but I cry a little bit inside for all the music we don't have because he was taken way too soon.
I love watching your reactions. You truly look like you are having a blast. And glad you started reating to Stevie. Stevie and his guitar are one. You will find no other guitar player that is more connected. SRV = THE G.O.A.T.
Thank you so much for this analysis. I am neither a musician or a singer, but love music and especially the blues. What I think is great about these technical analyses for me is that I experience it and just know that I like it, and then it is even more enlightening and entertaining to have someone like Elizabeth analyze and enthusiastically enjoy it, pointing out those intricate nuances that make it so good. I was fortunate enough to have seen Stevie Ray perform at a small venue in 1984 and he did this song (right after "Couldn't Stand the Weather" and just before "Pride and Joy", talk about a great setlist!). He is one of my all time favorite guitarists, because to me, it is not the ones that can just play a million notes in a row that excel, it is those that make their instrument sing. The music takes you on a journey and makes you feel something.
Brings a tear to my eyes every time i listen to them playing the with the most inner parts of their souls pouring out into their music. Elizabeth describes it to a tee.
So looking forward to this one. I am one of the people who requested it. This version with Johnny Copeland will be new to me, so it will be a double treat.
Loved your analysis. I always learn something, even about songs I have been listening to for decades. He and his guitar were truly one. I look forward to more Stevie here. Life By The Drop and Pride & Joy are a different style you can dive into.
OMG!!! There you go with your “kid in a candy store” attitude! Your facial expressions are so beautiful and fun!!! Love your dissection of the song and your diction just makes me melt!!! Thank you!!!
Stevie was the master of all players but he loved all the greats that came before him. So many times he brought the legends back to the forefront of the blues scene and helped them get some of the accolades and financial benefits they so richly deserved. Great reaction!
In previous videos, you've expressed interest in hearing good non-soprano female singers. I HIGHLY recommend the Tedeschi Trucks Band - Susan Tedeschi sings and her husband Derek Trucks plays what some consider the best blues and slide guitar in the world today. A 12 piece band, they are the best touring band today and have been for the past 10 years or so. The vocals from Susan are exceptional, and the guitar from Derek is almost vocal as well. Add in to the mix a great back up band - you will not be disappointed from what you hear.
Yes ,the whole band ,are top class ,soulful vocals ,Derek Trucks is such an expressive guitarist,with almost vocal like phrasing ,and the band ,are so tight ,yet expressive ,one of the very best.
Very Very few singers, guitar players bring a tear to my eye with pure joy. Stevie Ray Vaughn is one. Saw him live in 1987 was in awe than and still am.
Johnny was one of his influences, he had so much respect for those that came before him and brought them back into the light. I got to see Stevie play once, he is like a channel for the music that came through him. You should start a blues band, he's your influence now.
Been watching your vids for a while. I want you to know that your facial expressions during your reactions bring a level of beauty to this world few can offer. This makes the world a better place. For this I have to thank you.
Stevie will always be the King, no one will ever be on his level. He was the epitome of an open vessel. Just a true master of his Craft, in every way, singing and of course guitar playing.
Loooong time listener of SRV (I remember exactly where I was when he died). Once read a bio on SRV. Stevie led a hard musical life; he felt blues was best, if not only, derived by *living* the blues. His awesome tone comes from very thick gauge strings and muscular forearms able to dramatically stretch & wobble extreme tremolos. A true combo of musical inclination, devotion to principle and physical prowess. RIP, Stevie.
Hearing Elizabeth use the word "Gnarly" just made my day! This song builds tension like a Hitchcock movie or a massive Thundercloud- occasionally releasing some of that energy as guitar lightning. Every note he played was a beautiful work of art and full of purpose. He could make them roar, scream, mourn, beg, whine, or weep. If DaVinci had been a guitar player, he would have been SRV. The GOAT!
I was a big time rocker my whole life; still love rock and metal. But the older I get the more I realize that there's no other genre as great as the Blues. It influences so many other styles of music; there's nothing else like it.
I can’t believe with all of the music and different genres that I’ve enjoyed in my lifetime that I never heard much SRV, but I’m so happy to be listening to him now. Wish I could’ve witnessed him live. Hard to believe two titans like these guys could fit on one stage. They both have two voices each. One comes out of their mouths and the other through their fingers. Love to hear them singing through their guitars! So much soul. I really enjoyed this and laughed out loud when you contemplated hooking your voice like them in opera. Just imagining how hilarious that would be and how shocked the audience would be. I’m sure it’d take a while for them to recuperate 😄
It brings tears to my eyes to see you so joyful listening to Stevie's music. Stevie's music brought that same joy to me when I first heard him. He was an incredible bluesman from right here in my hometown, Dallas, Texas. I was fortunate enough to see him in concert 3 times. I love him and miss him sorely. Godspeed SRV. Thanks for covering his music Elizabeth. God bless you and yours.
This was so beautiful to watch. SRV was known for thinking he did not have a good singing voice. I think he'd be knocked over with a feather watching Elizabeth fawning over his voice.
Estoy muy emocionado de que Elizabeth reaccione a esta cancion!, Vaughan es uno de mis guitarristas preferidos y realmente AMO este tema, Stevie tocaba y cantaba con el alma, gran tema y gran album en el que esta. Saludos desde Argentina!
SRV's playing is something to behold without a doubt. This track in particular stands out above the rest. It bypasses the language center of the brain and slams straight into the amygdala baby! SRV's best.
Watch the live in Tokyo version of this song. During his tremolo picking solo he turns to the band and yells the name of another song and they move seamlessly into it. Just an incredible concert. His tone is insane in it also, he playing a custom built 150 watt amp through a Leslie B3 organ speaker.
Stevie sang and played with so much emotion, you felt as if he was a dam before a swollen lake of emotion, eager to just burst and drown you. His control, and sometimes lack of it, brought the real fans back to him. It's no surprise that John Mayer holds him in such deep regard, and his music, although much more modern, has these same feelings of a lake of emotion behind them.
Thank you for doing this one! I love your heartfelt reactions. I always try to get Stevie’s attention from above, so he can hear what you have to say, especially about his singing. I don’t recall him getting this kind of praise while he was here with us! I’d like to recommend an instrumental song that Stevie wrote for his then wife, “Lenny.” It needs no words to express his feelings, and I would have taken this song, if written for me, over ANY gift. Extraordinary. “Lenny” from the El Mocambo concert. You will absolutely go crazy! Thanks again. ❤ Donna G
More Stevie! More Stevie! More Stevie! I love your Stevie videos and have even created my own Stevie playlist to listen to in the car. Thank you for the inspiration! I love him, and I wouldn’t have known that without you. ❤ 41:25
What I always get when I watch this video is, while both are great at playing and singing, Johnny sings it as if he's reliving it, while Stevie plays it that way.
Elizabeth is unique in that she combines emotional reaction with refined comments on vocal technique. Undoubtedly the best music reaction channel.

He plugged in guitar into his soul, not an amp.
Stevie's playing still gives me shivers after 35 years of loving him
and can you believe some people _still_ say he couldn't sing? That's like saying birds can't whistle or cows can't...cow.
@@bbb462cid haters lol.he was a legend
I'm a 56 year old hard Rocking geetar player. I had never heard music like this. I was in my twenties. I've been a guitar teacher for over twenty years and the biggest poster I have on the wall is Stevie. He is so amazing. Thank you for reacting to this song
The studio recording of this track is notable for being one of the highest quality recordings ever made.
If you ever want to audition a stereo…this is the ‘go-to’ track.
It’s mesmerising!
Truth. Before that, if you wanted to test out a pair of high dollar speakers it was Shine On You Crazy Diamond. At the height of Hair Metal, this was some mind-blowing stuff.
Man, playing this song gives me goosebumps EVERY time. And everyone I show..they are taken back! The bass, everything just sounds amazing 😮
I love how giddy diving into Stevie Ray makes you. The rest of us almost take his greatness for granted at this point, so seeing someone take such joy in diving into his body of work brings us experience what it felt like to hear him for the first time all over again. It can also be bittersweet, much like your dive into the grunge era, as it reminds us what we lost all too soon, as well. I guess we're fortunate in a way that great music is essentially immortal as long as we have recordings like this to go back to.
Beautifully put! It totally captures how I feel watching these videos
Such an amazingly well thought out and descriptive comment.
I truly believe when Stevie was born his mother delivered a guitar as well. A package deal from the gods. Rip Stevie. I can't fathom what we were robbed of from this guitar genius. I also believe that the contrasting guitars were a conversation between the 2 men
Well, first Martha Vaughan delivered Jimmie. And Jimmie Vaughan was Stevie's first real and most important guitar hero.
SRV made his guitar sing the blues better than most vocalists ever could. Eric Clapton, talking about watching SRV play live, the night before he died, said "His playing was so majestic that I had to leave early out of jealousy."
You don’t teach or learn this. You live it.
That’s not true , EC walked off stage during jam with Hendrix and cream , and that’s how Hendrix got famous.
SRV just Hendrix on coke
Having had the experience of seeing both of these musicians live, I am so glad that you chose the Montreux Jazz performance featuring both of them together. They are both Texas based and I always love to go see Texas musicians since I live in Houston. Seeing Johnny Copeland was an experience not to be missed, but seeing SRV was an out of this world happening that I will never forget. I saw SRV before he was really known to a lot of the world and he had the audience mesmerized. I have never seen that before or since at a live show. There was little noise from the audience as it seemed everybody was anticipating the next note or word that came from the stage. I am glad that you have shown such a fondness for SRV.
Stevie was an amazing player influencing a lot of artists we know and love today.” Tin Pan Alley” what a perfect song to cover. You are truly awesome!
Especially a live performance. So much of what made SRV so influential is his improv skill.
Life without you should be ya next SRV song
wonderfull playing of both artist...SRV superb!!
No disrespect to Johnny Copeland whatsoever. However, the LIVE performance SRV gives on the songs "Tin Pan Alley/Dirty Pool" in Tokyo, to me is SRV in his finest hour. The feel & vibe in Stevie's playing that night really shows there's somethings in certain artists like SRV that you can't teach, bottle or buy, AKA the "IT" factor. Check it out if y'all aren't hip! ++Peace, Funk & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Souls & All That Jazz My Friends++
This was probably a great experience for SRV because Johnny Copeland was one of his greatest influences. SRV was a very humble guitarist because even as great as he was he would always step out of the spotlight when playing with one of his blues influences and let them shine.
SRV=GOAT! ✌️
Stevie is the greatest there ever was. Even tho I didn't know him personally I cried like my best friend died that day. SUCH A MASTER. He can evoke every emotion with his guitar and transports me to another world whenever I listen to him. And all these years later I still listen in awe
Johnny Copeland was one of the many Blues artists that inspired Stevie Ray Vaughan and you could tell he loved preforming with any of his idols.
Also, what they were laughing at at the end of the performance was that, when Johnny Copeland came to the mic, he forgot his verse, so he improvised by playing a solo on his guitar!
came to the comments to say this, it ended up being really cool he thought he remembered right up to where he actually opened his mouth to sing then had to improvise. and stevie wagging his finger after when he was doing the verse instead
@@moodfm5673 ...& Stevies' Little Laugh😂
Thank you, Elizabeth, for giving us such an insightful analysis of the dynamic interplay between SRV and Copeland, compare and contrast extraordinaire ... I learn so much from your observations! Kudos!!!
Elizabeth, you are my absolute favorite reaction video poster! I love not only your unique musical perspectives--- compared to other reaction video folks--- but your wonderful personality, facial expressions, and enthusiasm. By the way, try one of Stevie's pieces from his '89 Austin City Limit performance. He had overcome his addictions, and he and his band were really tearing it up that night. Stevie was the greatest of guitarists---that's for sure! God bless you and your family, Elizabeth!
My best friend died on June 9th this year just days past his 50th birthday. We both tried to play guitar, and his greatest influence was SRV. Stevie dying here in WI, so close to us was a SHOCK and hit him hard. I'm on a binge on SRV, and you are doing an incredible job realizing his greatness. Thank you.
This is my favorite SRV song. So happy to see this being covered. 🤠🎸
Edit: I hope Elizabeth listens to the studio version (which is amazing) just to see how much ad-libbing is done here (which is a part of the live blues experience and is a testament to their level of skill and talent).
Johnny Copeland was one of Stevie's heroes when he started playing. You can see the joy that Stevie gets playing with the musicians he has as heroes. This song is a master class for blues guitar. You should check out another one where Stevie got the chance to play with his biggest influence, Albert King, "Born on a Bad Sign. Stevie plays more of a backing role while Albert King takes the lead. For a more fun song, Stevie Ray's "Cold Shot" is a just a really fun to play. Thank you so much for helping to keep Stevie Ray Vaughn's music alive.
SRV has told better stories with his guitar than many others with their voice! So Get ready for some talkin' Guitar and some meltin' Elizabeth! 💖
One of the greatest blues performances ever recorded... Those chill-bumps are real...
This man continues to blow me away after all these years with his guitar talent and his underrated vocals I have never seen this performance with johnny Copland who I'm not that familiar with but boy he had some great vocals and the performance between the two was fantastic keep the Stevie Ray Vaughan videos coming I can't get enough of him
that rhythmic pattern at around 26:00 is extremely hard to do if not impossible for most players. Plus the dissonate notes is just begging for a resolve, which he does finally give you. What a master!
That's pretty much when I decided God is real and has a fantastic hat. That just wasn't human.
speaking as a long time guitar player I have to say, every time I hear Stevie Ray, he absolutely knocks my socks off, his olaying was astoundingly brilliant. Killer tone and incomparable feel and taste. Just wonderful in every way possible. Great choice
I thank God that Stevie lived and in 2023 with a few finger taps I can find him in two dimensions and still be taken away from this crazy world to just as you've said here a place of pure "divinity". I never met Stevie Ray but I truly do love and miss that man. R.I.P
I am just so happy to hear someone newly appreciating music i was mocked for in my youth.
SRV doesnt play guitar, they really do become one voice. 🎸
Wait? What? Mocked because you appreciate good music?! That's the craziest i've read so far. It must have been the disco mafia.
Mocked? Not in Texas. We consider Stevie the patron saint of Texas.
No doubt!
@@Skulllywag Northeast Ohio in the late 80s early 90s. If you weren't listening to Garth Brooks flavored country or whatever hip hop the kids find cool this year you are going to be mocked from that corner.
When You Go Back & Listen To Stevie Talk About How He Was Inspired To Play & How He Spent So Many Countless Hours Becoming One With The Guitar - It's Easy To See! THEN - Stevie Descovered He Could SING....🙌
Ain’t Gone ‘N’ Give up on Love is a MUST!! A good amount of vocals in this one.
Live from Passaic New Jerseys version
YES! I've been waiting for this one. More Stevie!
Thank you for highlighting Stevie's vocal prowess. His guitar playing is unbelievable, but from the beginning, his vocals really hit me equally as hard. I was blessed to see him live on two occasions. Blues is based on emotion. Check out Stevie's influences and you'll see where the evolution of his voice came from. The three Kings (B.B., Albert, and Freddie), Otis Rush, T-Bone Walker...some incredible singers in the Blues genre. HIGHLY recommend he recently released documentary entitled "Brothers In Blues", chronicling his life and beautiful relationship with his brother Jimmie-an amazing player in his own right.
Stevie Ray Vaughn. One of the few musicians I've come across that had a 24/7 connection to his muse. It never shut off😊
Stevie makes the opera singer do the "stank face" Love it! The blues just pours out of him vocally and instrumentally.
Riviera paradise is another great jazzy instrumental. It's on of my favorites from Instep album.
It will actually bring a tear to my eye. It's that beautiful.
Elizabeth is going to absolutely love this!!!
The next SRV performance should be 'Life Without You' from Nashville 1987. His speech in the middle, where he talks about quitting the drinking/drugs less than a year before, will give you an even greater appreciation for the man!
Then 'Cold Shot' from Austin City Limits 1989. Stevie worked so hard at improving his singing and the hard work definitely paid off. Cause his voice is phenomenal on that particular performance. And since you love keys, you'll love Reese Wynans masterful playing!
Life Without You performance is a must do! Please. You will be happy that you did.
@@thomashardman108 specifically the Nashville 1987 one. So many people do the one from the 1985 Capital Theater show or the one from 1986 Orpheum show. Stevie is in such rough shape during both performances, but especially the 1986 (about a month before he almost died and had to go to rehab) performance, that it's hard to watch. The song takes on a whole new meaning when he cleaned up. You get the original meaning and also what he turned it into after he cleaned up!
Most Definitely ♡♡♡♡
SRV was one of those guys that made you feel something and not just playing a song. Truly awesome
Love this performance! It might be the highlight performance of a show that’s full to the brim with excellent performances. The whole Montreux ‘85 show is KILLER
The man just never disappoints. He passed before i was able to see him live but man, I envy those that did. Johnny too.
I had the chance to see him twice. I was a big fan but I had other things to do. Should have postponed those other things.
The video of his sound check is a mini concert in itself! Most intense and entertaining sound check I've ever seen. Still enthralled that I got to see him live, before he was so well known. The man and his guitar were a singularity, actually. #letsgettoit ##letsgobackonemoretime
Is that the soundcheck that looks like he just rolled out of bed and just rips right into Scuttlebuttin'? Also where the keyboard falls to ground when his stool breaks? Yeah, that's yet another amazing SRV video record.
Yes
Its great to see Johnny Copeland get the respect he deserves. He had a daughter, Shemekia who is now an up and coming blues singer.🎙️🎹
That huge audible breath out when he starts is her completely feeling it. Every note, nuance, and spaces in between.
Brings chills down my spine every time I hear him. SRV was 3 months older than me and I (a drummer) just felt so at home listening to him playing and the room he gave to everyone to shine in their own way. A sorely missed legend.
Elizabeth! This was amazing! I can't believe you really did it! I was pushing for this one, knowing it was less likely for being so long and slow. But I'm so glad you did it and loved it. It's such a masterclass in electric blues, on multiple levels. Thank you for giving us a reason to be giddy and inspired with you at the end of a long week!
Suggestion for his next song: "Ain't gonna give up on love" OR "cold shot", both live of course.
What Steve Said✌️💙
No one has ever played with so much feeling, passion and e3motion as Stevie. His technique is absolutely unique.
Elizabeth has the best emotional reaction followed by technical explanation and evaluation on RUclips!!! So entertaining and informative watching her!!!!!
I really enjoyed watching this with you! Also Stevie’s Texas Flood. Really great reaction and wonderful analysis. I already play some guitar. But you’re inspiring me to try to learn how to sing. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart ❤😊🎉🎉🎉
I agree that SRV was one of the great musical minds the world has ever known, he was a sponge, soaking up music from his many influences including Johnny Copeland, but what came back was all SRV. SRV was always so humble and respectful too. You really need to view some of the videos of him and Albert King playing together. Albert King viewed Stevie almost as a son and dispensed advice and guidance and Stevie humbly agreed with everything and promised he'd do his best. Something like that could so easily come across as kind of cringey, but both men loved and respected each other so it's genuinely moving.
That fast strumming where he moves his hand up and back is INCREDIBLY difficult to do, particularly for that long and that accurately. SRV understood not only how to get the right notes out of his guitar, but he could express so much with different tonal qualities of the same notes. Every time I watch SRV it's a bitter sweet experience. I'm so glad that we have his fantastic music, but I cry a little bit inside for all the music we don't have because he was taken way too soon.
I love watching your reactions. You truly look like you are having a blast. And glad you started reating to Stevie. Stevie and his guitar are one. You will find no other guitar player that is more connected. SRV = THE G.O.A.T.
Thank you so much for this analysis. I am neither a musician or a singer, but love music and especially the blues. What I think is great about these technical analyses for me is that I experience it and just know that I like it, and then it is even more enlightening and entertaining to have someone like Elizabeth analyze and enthusiastically enjoy it, pointing out those intricate nuances that make it so good. I was fortunate enough to have seen Stevie Ray perform at a small venue in 1984 and he did this song (right after "Couldn't Stand the Weather" and just before "Pride and Joy", talk about a great setlist!). He is one of my all time favorite guitarists, because to me, it is not the ones that can just play a million notes in a row that excel, it is those that make their instrument sing. The music takes you on a journey and makes you feel something.
Brings a tear to my eyes every time i listen to them playing the with the most inner parts of their souls pouring out into their music. Elizabeth describes it to a tee.
So looking forward to this one. I am one of the people who requested it. This version with Johnny Copeland will be new to me, so it will be a double treat.
Loved your analysis. I always learn something, even about songs I have been listening to for decades. He and his guitar were truly one. I look forward to more Stevie here. Life By The Drop and Pride & Joy are a different style you can dive into.
Stevies soul comes out in his guitar. He feels every note
OMG!!! There you go with your “kid in a candy store” attitude! Your facial expressions are so beautiful and fun!!! Love your dissection of the song and your diction just makes me melt!!! Thank you!!!
SRV has the best call and response I have ever heard!!
Stevie was the master of all players but he loved all the greats that came before him. So many times he brought the legends back to the forefront of the blues scene and helped them get some of the accolades and financial benefits they so richly deserved. Great reaction!
Stevie Ray Vaughn and Johnny Copeland. Top tier Bluesman. It doesn’t get much better than this
In previous videos, you've expressed interest in hearing good non-soprano female singers. I HIGHLY recommend the Tedeschi Trucks Band - Susan Tedeschi sings and her husband Derek Trucks plays what some consider the best blues and slide guitar in the world today. A 12 piece band, they are the best touring band today and have been for the past 10 years or so. The vocals from Susan are exceptional, and the guitar from Derek is almost vocal as well. Add in to the mix a great back up band - you will not be disappointed from what you hear.
100% agree ,Dereks soulful playing ,susans vocals,and their top class band [great songs,too.
LIVE.... MIDNIGHT IN HARLEM...... OUTSTANDING!!!!
Pasaquan is excellent! No vocals, but musically it is absolutely amazing!
Yes ,the whole band ,are top class ,soulful vocals ,Derek Trucks is such an expressive guitarist,with almost vocal like phrasing ,and the band ,are so tight ,yet expressive ,one of the very best.
I used to see Susan perform in her own band years ago, Great performer!
You can never get enough of SRV. He's a legendary figure now. And love me some Johnny Copeland.
FINALLY! I've been hoping she would get to this one next. My absolute favorite performance of his.
Very Very few singers, guitar players bring a tear to my eye with pure joy. Stevie Ray Vaughn is one. Saw him live in 1987 was in awe than and still am.
Johnny was one of his influences, he had so much respect for those that came before him and brought them back into the light. I got to see Stevie play once, he is like a channel for the music that came through him. You should start a blues band, he's your influence now.
These are your best reaction videos. I always return to you rocking out to Stevie whenever I need a chuckle. He was the best.
One of the most beautiful blues songs ever.
Been watching your vids for a while. I want you to know that your facial expressions during your reactions bring a level of beauty to this world few can offer. This makes the world a better place. For this I have to thank you.
I got lucky enough to see SRV in concert in the very late 80s. I was 14 or 15 when my uncle took me to see him. He was absolutely incredible!
Stevie will always be the King, no one will ever be on his level. He was the epitome of an open vessel. Just a true master of his Craft, in every way, singing and of course guitar playing.
Loooong time listener of SRV (I remember exactly where I was when he died). Once read a bio on SRV. Stevie led a hard musical life; he felt blues was best, if not only, derived by *living* the blues. His awesome tone comes from very thick gauge strings and muscular forearms able to dramatically stretch & wobble extreme tremolos. A true combo of musical inclination, devotion to principle and physical prowess. RIP, Stevie.
Hearing Elizabeth use the word "Gnarly" just made my day! This song builds tension like a Hitchcock movie or a massive Thundercloud- occasionally releasing some of that energy as guitar lightning. Every note he played was a beautiful work of art and full of purpose. He could make them roar, scream, mourn, beg, whine, or weep. If DaVinci had been a guitar player, he would have been SRV. The GOAT!
I was a big time rocker my whole life; still love rock and metal. But the older I get the more I realize that there's no other genre as great as the Blues. It influences so many other styles of music; there's nothing else like it.
This performance reaches into darkness of the soul but adds an almost incendiary rage. So good
Elizabeth you're in for a treat with this can't wait for the reaction
Man what I wouldn’t give to have been at this show. Two absolute legends in front of an awesome band. WOW!
I love this version so much, you can just listen to it and everything else in live just vanishes from your mind for a while as it plays.
Thank you thank you for doing more Stevie Ray! Watching your reactions, it is ALMOST like getting to hear him for the first time. . . . again.
I can’t believe with all of the music and different genres that I’ve enjoyed in my lifetime that I never heard much SRV, but I’m so happy to be listening to him now. Wish I could’ve witnessed him live. Hard to believe two titans like these guys could fit on one stage. They both have two voices each. One comes out of their mouths and the other through their fingers. Love to hear them singing through their guitars! So much soul. I really enjoyed this and laughed out loud when you contemplated hooking your voice like them in opera. Just imagining how hilarious that would be and how shocked the audience would be. I’m sure it’d take a while for them to recuperate 😄
Was fortunate enough to see Stevie Ray live. Same outfit as here. Warm up act was Gregg Allman Band.
SRV's singing is very good, of course, but Johnny Copeland actually brought tears to my eyes! Not the first time Johnny's done that, either.
Stevie made his guitar sing and talk , no on like Stevie , never will be
Can't replace this Genius
It brings tears to my eyes to see you so joyful listening to Stevie's music. Stevie's music brought that same joy to me when I first heard him. He was an incredible bluesman from right here in my hometown, Dallas, Texas. I was fortunate enough to see him in concert 3 times. I love him and miss him sorely. Godspeed SRV. Thanks for covering his music Elizabeth. God bless you and yours.
Stevie is "Greatness" No one before or after him can match his abilities..
26:00 i think johnnys face says everything about how many people regularily do that effect on guitar
This was so beautiful to watch. SRV was known for thinking he did not have a good singing voice. I think he'd be knocked over with a feather watching Elizabeth fawning over his voice.
The swag is off the charts with SRV. Hes THE GOAT 🎸 RIP
Estoy muy emocionado de que Elizabeth reaccione a esta cancion!, Vaughan es uno de mis guitarristas preferidos y realmente AMO este tema, Stevie tocaba y cantaba con el alma, gran tema y gran album en el que esta. Saludos desde Argentina!
I can't get enough of Elizabeth, or music she is portraying and analyzing here. Just lovely ❤
I love how on Johnny's second verse he steps up to the mic, then steps back and decides to let his guitar tell the whole story
Even if he might have forgotten the lyrics…
SRV's playing is something to behold without a doubt.
This track in particular stands out above the rest.
It bypasses the language center of the brain and slams straight into the amygdala baby!
SRV's best.
Watch the live in Tokyo version of this song. During his tremolo picking solo he turns to the band and yells the name of another song and they move seamlessly into it. Just an incredible concert. His tone is insane in it also, he playing a custom built 150 watt amp through a Leslie B3 organ speaker.
I'm so glad that you could experience this song and performance from THE MASTER
Yes, love this version with JC!
Stevie sang and played with so much emotion, you felt as if he was a dam before a swollen lake of emotion, eager to just burst and drown you. His control, and sometimes lack of it, brought the real fans back to him. It's no surprise that John Mayer holds him in such deep regard, and his music, although much more modern, has these same feelings of a lake of emotion behind them.
Thank you for doing this one! I love your heartfelt reactions. I always try to get Stevie’s attention from above, so he can hear what you have to say, especially about his singing. I don’t recall him getting this kind of praise while he was here with us! I’d like to recommend an instrumental song that Stevie wrote for his then wife, “Lenny.” It needs no words to express his feelings, and I would have taken this song, if written for me, over ANY gift. Extraordinary. “Lenny” from the El Mocambo concert. You will absolutely go crazy! Thanks again. ❤ Donna G
Here is “Lenny”
ruclips.net/video/i5sqJNFFwqc/видео.html
More Stevie! More Stevie! More Stevie! I love your Stevie videos and have even created my own Stevie playlist to listen to in the car. Thank you for the inspiration! I love him, and I wouldn’t have known that without you. ❤ 41:25
What I always get when I watch this video is, while both are great at playing and singing, Johnny sings it as if he's reliving it, while Stevie plays it that way.
He was a guitar magician. All the time we are like... how does he do that?
