I was real young at the time, not realizing what/who I was seeing, but it sure made me wanna play something!!&!

    I was there, Montreux in 1982. Was in the U.S.A.F. stationed at a little base near Brindisi, Italy. Had seen SRV at a club in downtown Houston (1975 or 76). Had a four day break, my job work in signals intelligence required shift work. Got on a train with some of my buddies and went to Montreux, 18 hour train ride. It was there that David Bowie heard SRV and recruited him to play on the upcoming “Let’s Dance” LP. SRV’s is from a rough part of Dallas, South Oak Cliff, his attire was always Texan with a bit of “from the hood” mixed in.

    In answer to that "did we know" question. I saw him live in Houston at Fitzgerald's and several times in Austin at Antones. I believe the video of Fitzgerald's in on RUclips, along with some from other local places. He was so amazing and we'd tell other people what we saw, but most people either didn't think it was remarkable enough or they didn't like the Blues, even R&B. It was the thankful end of Disco and many just didn't get someone bringing back the blues. We were also so blessed at the time in Texas with the Winter brothers and ZZTOP , and many other groups of name playing live at local clubs for $4 or$5 and $2 pitchers of beer. Yes, we knew what we were seeing. We just had to wait 30 plus years for everyone else to recongnize a walking talking guitar god. Loving the channel... You guys keep having fun with it. There is so much more to appreciate.

    Every time you see a video of them playing live he always plays his songs differently and it's so interesting to hear him play and tweak his songs and it's like he almost never plays the same song the same way twice he always adds things in there or plays the notes Slightly different so it's almost hearing new old songs.

My friend told me about him years ago but I was more into other genres and now I could kick myself for not listening to this mega-talent! Since then, I have been listening, thanks to channels like yours, guys! Thanks for sharing the videos! What an electrifying talent! I was told that every time he played that he was in the zone. IMO, I think he was way beyond the zone and ventured out into the "cosmos!" He was phenomenal! I loved his voice, too. It was like he and his guitar became one and both were on fire! I'm so sad that he is gone!

Later the night of the coliseum show my friends and I went to a little bar that stayed open late and about 2am in walked SRV. He had a drink and got up on stage and jammed with the band for about 45 minutes it was so cool to see. I consider myself lucky to have witnessed it. He was truly a wonderful guy.

    It was known that MOZART said that he just HEARS THE MUSIC AND WRITES WHAT HE HEARS!

    Nailed it with your first comment: that music just poured out of him. Had the privilege of seeing him and his band Double Trouble (drummer Chris Layton, bassist Tommy Shannon) live in both small Austin clubs and large arenas.
    What you see and hear here is a slightly scaled down version of their live show in those days. This is a warm up.
    No show or song was exactly the same. Just played it as they felt it.
    And, yes, I think they knew what they had. All three of these guys had been around the Texas music scene for a long time.

    When you see him play, what do you see? He never misses a note. His tone is unmatched. Emotion pours through. There are no weaknesses. Forget natural talent; how can a man play like that? Practice. You’re weak on a phrase? Start slow with perfect rhythm, dynamics, note spacing. Play it over and over, gradually speeding it up until it’s where you want it and it’s no longer a weak phrase. That’s what Stevie did. Everything had to be perfect. Always.

    Basses Tommy Shannon was in a band with Stevie Ray ( aka Skeeter to Tommy Shannon) called Krackerjack when they were Stevie Ray was 16 Tommy Shannon left the band but Stevie Ray stayed until the vocalist wanted them to wear makeup on stage, Stevie Ray walked out and that was the end of that. Tommy Shannon went to a club called The Fog to listen to a band called Blackbird, people told Tommy about the guitarist Stevie so when they came out Tommy was like SKEETER! When Stevie Ray put Double Trouble together and on June 23, 1981 Tommy Shannon went to Stevie Ray after Stevie Ray's basses Jackie Newhouse left and Tommy joined Double Trouble. Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon said they knew the first time they heard Stevie Ray play that he had something they never heard before and they knew they were in front of greatness and his ear for music was excellent, they would be playing and think they sound great but Stevie Ray would walk over to the AMP'S and adjust a little then they could tell they were off by just a little but Stevie Ray was a perfectionist. I find it really sad that Stevie Ray Vaughan never lived to see what a great success he truly was, he never had a #1 hit until after his death with Crossfire, although he won alot of awards while he was alive after his death Stevie Ray and his brother Jimmie Vaughan recorded an album called Family Style and a few days after his death the album won Best Contemporary Blues Performance, 1993 Stevie Ray won Best Rock International Performance for Little Wing, 1991 his album The Sky Is Crying won Best Contemporary Blues Album, in 1990 the song Tic-Tock won Song Of The Year. I have mentioned this song to many other reactors because I can't believe not one reactor has reacted to it, Stevie Ray's brother Jimmie made a video dedicated to Stevie Ray and Stevie Ray is singing Tic-Tock, the message is so beautiful and inspirational, the video I love has old home movies of Jimmie and Stevie Ray when they were very little and Stevie Ray is even in a diaper 😂, Jimmie is wearing Stevie Ray's necklace. It made me cry ,if you loved his message on Life Without You Tic-Tock is a song everyone NEEDS TO HEAR. Damn it I did it again, my comment is a mile long sorry, I'm so glad I found your channel, you both have great reactions. Thanks

I remember when his death was announced. I was working room service at a Holiday Inn when I was in college. I went out and sat in my car in the parking lot listening to radio news about it and I wept for about 20 minutes. That's the only time I've cried at a celebrity death that I can remember.

      You are correct. I include myself in that description but for whatever reason I decided to see him play way back when and am forever grateful. Sadly, I was on my way to a funeral with my 2 month old daughter in tow and heard of the helicopter crash on the rock and roll station playing in my car. It was shocking.

      I appreciated it as did my group of friends. I was blessed to have been stationed in San Antonio and got to see him live several times. I'd drag my reluctant friends and 20 minutes in they were converts to the church of SRV. There are no words that do justice to the feeling you had after seeing him live. You KNEW you were watching something extremely special.

    👏🙌‼️ so happy to see this today💯. This "Soundcheck" has almost 23 million views! Now you know why. Just woke up, rubbing his eyes and yawning, strapped in and took right off. 🎸🎶‼️ This shows how seriously Stevie took playing his guitar and making music. He was incapable of half measures and always gave the proper respect to the music he loved so much. He always said every time he picked up his guitar that if it was his last time to ever play it had to be as good as he could make it. I think he always had an underlying feeling his time would be cut short. Since he taught himself to play by listening to the greats on records, he thought that the rhythm and lead were from one guitar so that's how he played. He could switch between both seamlessly and could even play both at the same time💯. The guy you thought looked like Jeremy was the Rene Martinez! Rene was genius when it came to repairing and building guitars and Stevie needed a lot of repairs due to his playing style. The second song he did here, "Aint Gone 'N' Give Up On Love" is a tune Stevie wrote. You should check out his performance of that song at the Capitol Theatre 1985. It is a soulful, bluesy tune that you guys will really love❣️. Thank you so much for circling back to Stevie Ray today. Keep it up you have many more delights to discover🎸🎶💙‼️

    Anyone now following his older brother Jimmy? Before Stevie came out performing live- he was considered an amazing guitarist. After Stevie, he got pushed out of the way. Just wrap your head around that folks. Jimmy may still be performing ...SRV just poured out music through his pores is truth. One of a kind. And he sung well also

    You asked when this performance was, and I just so happened to catch that caption at the beginning of the video that said "Syria Mosque," that's the first time I've ever seen that caption. The Syria Mosque used to be a venue here in Pittsburgh, where I live, until it was demolished in 1991. I've actually done work in the building. Doing a quick search, they played there only once, on January 24, 1986, which makes sense since Stevie is wearing that long heavy coat and it gets a bit chilly here in January for a Texas boy.

    His sweating profusely --- mostly at the El Macambo was because he was high -- booze & cocaine, but yes other times after he got clean and sober were not from being ill. We love him so much. This is one of Stevie's originals. Putting the lyrics here, you & others might like to know them since you really can't hear them at all. I ain't gone 'n' give up on love... love won't give up on me
    I ain't gone 'n' give up on love... love ain't gone 'n' give up on me
    Every tear that I've cried... only washed away the fear inside
    Now i, I ain't gone 'n' give up on love
    Every beat of my heart... pounds with joy and not with pain
    Every beat of my heart... pounds with joy and not in vain
    And although those are painful memories... only brought me to my knees
    I was just given up on love
    Little johnny taylor told us so long ago
    What about the midnight cryin'...wo that cheatin' and lyin'
    What about the price that will... oh surely be paid
    Those that gave up on love... love will have it's day
    I ain't givin' up on love
    I ain't gone 'n' give up on love... love won't give up on me
    I ain't gone 'n' give up on love... love won't give up on me
    Every time I cry... love just won't let me be... won't set me free

    He ALWAYS played, and SRV played professionally in high school. I don’t remember how young he was, but that’s how he and Tommy Shannon met. Shannon explained that he was walking down the street in Austin, and he heard this incredible guitar playing and he thought that he’d see some guitar god, but then he went in, and it was just little Stevie-he said that they became friends right away.

    When I listen to him he can bring me to tears with just a few beautiful, soulful notes on the guitar.
    Truly a one of a kind talent who poured it all out through his music.
    SRV forever!!!

    You hear people talk about how special he was, and in one documentary a friend of his was saying that he had a kind of aura around him. His drummer who had been with him for 14 years told a story about SRV and electricity. He said that on numerous occasions, even after someone else had checked the equipment, even using Stevie’s guitar, stepping up to the mic, touching it and getting it ready nothing happened. However, when Stevie walked up to the mic, he would very often get shocked, sometimes even seeing a visible arc of electricity that would knock him back. This happened on numerous occasions, and the solution that they came up with was to use black foam like you put on a bicycle handlebar on the microphone stand to insulate it. If you look at the microphone in the live at the El Macombo concert you will see the foam on the microphone stand. There is also another video that it is visible in, but I can’t remember which one. Yes, he was definitely something special!

    I lived in Austin beginning in 1974. Saw SRV live a number of times. Austin fans knew what we had. SRV did a free outdoor show at Aqua Fest. Fans were milling around, but when SRV started to play people started surging forward. It was crushing. Fans wanted to get as close as possible. 50 yards deep, you could not move. At Steamboat on 6th Street, I was right in front of the stage when he played. Amazing.

    Not bad for a man who just rolled out of bed. Every fan of SRV knows about the crash that killed him while leaving the venue where he had just finished playing with Clapton. After the crash, his older brother Jimmie (who’s band used to open for Hendrix and founding guitarist of The Fabulous Thunderbirds) wrote a song called “Six Strings Down” in tribute to Stevie and performed it at most of Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festivals. Worth checking out.
    Also, different pickups on different guitars have different sound qualities. In addition, if you are playing songs that are in different keys during the show you can’t stop to retune your instrument each time you play a different tuning!

The Vaughan bros. were amazing!!! Both of them playing one double neck guitar...??? Yeah... It happened!!! I saw them play Sleighride for an encore at Reunion Arena just before Christmas in the mid 80s!!! Just impeccable showmanship and talent. Oh!!! And passion for the Blues.

    Hey fellas, Ned from España here. Stevie Ray Vaughn was an immensely talented man and his loss was keenly felt by his band and so many people. His fame is due to his undeniable talent and perseverance plus a band that were like brothers. Texas has a long and varied history of great blues players like T Bone Walker, Gatemouth Brown, Freddie King, Pee Wee Crayton, Johnny Guitar Watson, Billy Gibbons and Johnny Winter among many others.

    Back in the day, it seems just a few years ago people collected CDs of music. I had many SRV albums and listened to them completely through. Not a bad song on any and so enjoyable to listen to him while doing something or driving. His albums were awesome and I recommend listening to them all the way through. Amazing how great he was that he makes people love his music. A true loss to humanity on August 27 1990.
