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 next morning was one of the saddest days of my life. The lineup was Eric Clapton, SRV, Robert Cray and Buddy Guy.
NefariousPorpoise I saw an interview with his band. They said Stevie was hammered all night and was passed out. They woke him up minutes before the show and he played the whole concert to perfection like there was nothing wrong. It’s why he was sweating even more than usual. Dude was a beast!
@@RMLtiger Except that this was filmed in 1989, only a year before his death, when he was stone cold sober. Eric Clapton was with him on that final stage, and said they SRV had never payed better in his life than after he went through recovery. He and all the other blues legends were all huge fans of each other - there was never any real 'rivalry' between them, as they all had/have very different styles. The rest all agreed that SRV was the best of them, hands down, and they were just 'fighting' for second place..... Clapton once said that he could only watch SRV do about two sings before he'd want to throw his own guitar in the corner and give up. To my knowledge, no other major guitar player has ever tried to replicate SRV's signature move of slinging that axe around and playing it behind his back, and he made it look EASY (it's definitely NOT!!!) If you watch his videos, most of the time he's not even looking at his left hand, and half the time has his eyes closed - he didn't just 'play' his guitar; he became ONE with it.
Herr Bönk the action was high on his neck settings and with strings that thick trying to bend them a step and a half? Try bending that much for a while show and tell us all how that feels
@@Linkacide Sure, but if it was due to pain mainly, he would perhaps not make a similar grin even when not bending. (I do it too, using the pitch wheel or otherwise creating and resolving dissonanses on my synthesizers.) My take is still that it's more about the tension in the music than in the strings. :)
Herr Bönk he use to put glue on his finger tips of his fretting hand fingers and press them to his forearm to put extra skin on his fingers. I think that might be a slight indicator
A shout out to the band. It's been said the SRV never played a song the same way twice. They were good enough to follow him wherever he went musically like it was easy.
This was filmed for the TV show Austin City Limits in 1989. He died a year later in a helicopter crash leaving a concert venue. By the way, his last name is pronounced Vawn (as rhymes with dawn). SRV is the greatest blues/blues rock guitarist of all time and is largely responsible for the revival of the blues during the 1980's. He played a style of Texas electric blues. His major influences growing up during the 1960's were rock guitarists Jimi Hendrix and Lonnie Mack, and all the legendary blues guitarists, particularly Albert King. He's in the Blues HoF, Musicians HoF, and Rock & Roll HoF. Lots of suggestions below; can't go wrong with any live performance. Enjoyed your reaction.
CraCra inTenn Sucks the most is he was only 35 years old when he died his career was so short and imagine the amazing music he could have played if he would not have died just so unfair! RIP SRV
It was a sad day when the world lost Stevie in this TV show you can see his hands and the way he played string bending , Tube Screamer and Vox Wah pedal , SRV forever in our hearts .
I've been watching a lot of Stevie Ray live performances the last couple weeks, but I have to stop for a while. I start crying every time, it's so damn unfair that he's gone forever...Ladies, if you ever a find a man who looks at you the way he looked at his guitar, never let him get away.
This song by Stevie Ray Vaughan was also in a movie. I've seen him in concert three times n I've been a fan of his sense I was young. R.I.P my brother, keep playing.
Love reactions where the reactor let's the musician play without interrupting, then do their comments, with maybe a few quick ones during the performance. That way you don't lose the mood of the song. Great job, dude.
Thank you for your reaction. So many videos like this pause, talk, pause , etc. and doing so miss something so important. A performance like this is almost like a living thing. It’s organic, with its own structure and life rhythm. You felt it. New subscriber.
Yes..right on.. I need to hear that.. Have you seen the recent photo discovery of Robert Johnson check it out his face is full of light and he smiling.
SRV 🎸🐐 Must-see SRV vids: 1. Texas Flood live at El Macambo 2. Life Without You live at Capitol Theater 3. Voodoo Child live at Starwood Theater in Nashville 4. Ain't Gone n Give Up On Love live at Capitol Theater 5. Leave My Girl Alone live at Austin City Limits
@@TheMusicRecordingNetwork srv with albert king at like Canadian broadcasting. Something like that. Its an hour of greatness. Just looked it up, Albert King, Stevie Ray Vaughn jam session.

WE HAVE TO THANK ALL THE PEOPLE THAT VIDEO TAPED HIM SO WE CAN WATCH HIM FOREVER AND LEARN HOW TO PLAY A GUITAR THE RIGHT WAY!!! RIP SRV😭🔥🤩💞🥰😍❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰💞😭🔥🤩💞😍❤️🎸❤️🥰💞🤩🔥😭😭😭🎸❤️😍🥰💞💞🤩🤩🔥🔥
As Michael Rhodes said about Joe Bonamassa " He's the Captain and we're the engine, we follow his lead. He gets the attention and we provide the power needed "
I’m from West of Birmingham, Alabama. SRV is my favorite guitar player of all time. He was a master of tone, playing lead and rythym, could do anything, and his energy level on a scale of 1-10 was 100. Great reaction
I've watched a lot of reaction videos with SRV, I don't care how many times I've watched this verson of Voodoo Child, I never get tired of watching him practice "audio sorcery"
Roy Clark was a severely underrated guitar player too. Mostly because if the genre, he played almost a comedic, Hee Haw kind of country, but he could hold his own against just about anybody, except SRV and Jimi. Eric Clapton is too.
@hemihead honkeydonkey agreed!! I'm a drummer and absolutely hate it when non drummers talk trash about someone, even though they know absolutely nothing about what's going on!!
@hemihead honkeydonkey the one that killed me a few years back, was all these young kids were all like, joey jordison is the greatest drummer ever. I was like, really, over Neil Peart, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Ginger Baker? I've dabbled in guitar, but am by no means am expert, but I know quality players just from being a musician myself. I don't go by what's hot right now.
Yay, he was that good...Keep checking him out you'll be amazed by his passion and soul! There Are many great tracks besides the popular ones being reacted to now. If you like what you hear try "Life without you" live at the "cotton club", or his version of "Come On Let The Good Times Roll" from the RUclips video the Hendrix gig. Two of my favorites are "Driving South and "commits a crime" on the RUclips recording at Harlings. Check them out you'll be amazed at what you hear even without video!
Went to my nieces graduation in Austin last year, she took me on one of those river bat tours and was so excited to point out the SRV statue by the river. It was pretty cool.
@Diamond Logistics ..And he would have stayed in Austin had he not gotten killed, he loved it here. Hard to object to where you're buried, since you're dead.
Stevie 's cover of Jimi Hendrix was always amazing and he had a great band to pull it off. He is regarded as one of the best Blues players and I cried on the day news broke of him dying in a helicopter crash. Your channel is pretty cool and I am now subscribed. Hope you don't mind us old Rockers who are expanding our horizons in to different music. Welcome to my generation! lol! Cheers!
Stevie is amazing . If you want to check some other ones look into Beth Hart : I’d rather go blind , I’ll take care of you , A change is gonna come . Chris Stapleton : Tennessee whiskey , Sometimes I cry, Death row .
There are many reasons why folks think SRV was the best Ever. Did you notice how he played rhythm and lead at the same time? And almost made it look effortless. He said that he was blessed with Big Hands, and then laughed about it while he also blushed.
RnB guitarist have been doing that since the 40s. SRV is the Elvis Presley of Blues. No one can say that he could not play but it's much easier to copy what has already been done then to do something originally. He had zero originality just a great guitar player That's it.....
@@FramrodLiggins , he copied just as he should have. Those guys were the masters of that style, and he absolutely loved the music. I happen to be a big fan of his spin on what the masters did. He also wrote a lot of his popular songs, which in my view shows Some originality. He didn't just do covers of other people's work.
@@garygraham2513 ... Popular songs????? I could ask 100 people at the park to name one Stevie Ray Vaughan song and half of them are going to say Voodoo Chile or Little Wing....IF they even know who he is. His appeal was strictly to the Blues/Rock audience. His songs were bog standard stuff we've all head before. Maybe he tacked on a great Solo but the songs were average...At Best. No one will remember him in 50 years. A Blues Footnote..... Another Elvis of the Blues
@@FramrodLiggins, obviously the only thing we agree on is the no-talent Elvis. My guess is that if you ask 100 people in the park who Blind Lemon Johnson, or even Howlin Wolf, or Muddy Waters are you would be disappointed with the answers. As for being a footnote, we are all a footnote.
I’m BEYOND GRATEFUL getting to see His Eminence, the One-THE ONLY… SRV!! And it’s BEYOND COOL SEEING YOU TURN ON TO HIM!! Thanks for sharing Brother! 👊🍻
Brooooo this is his most badass song, I know Jimi wrote it but Stevie killed it! If you get a chance to react to another Stevie Rae Vaughn song I suggest “Little Wing” (live at el mocambo) it’s the opposite of this, it being his most melodic sweetest sounding song! Again Jimi wrote it, but Stevies version made me quit piano after 9 years and pick up a guitar 👍🏻🤟🏻 I love him like a hero, and want to one day play like him for other people.
I was right there wit cha bruh! I'm a Texas boy and I can't tell you how many times I've listened to this and the very way that you were listening to this I am the same way. Lol! SRV will straight take you there!!!!
Great reaction! There are some great suggestions for other Stevie Ray Vaughan (sounds like lawn) songs. I'm throwing in Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland.
I’m happy you chose this song, as this was one of Stevie’s best. He fed that guitar his life and soul into his music. As a new guitarist at the ripe age of 52, SRV is a definite favourite of my home to listen to. Stevie was known to use gauge 13 strings along with frets from a bass on his guitar neck, just from how strong his fingers were. To give you some perspective, that lovely guitar you have on the wall over your left shoulder should have gauge 9 strings stock. Give a few notes or chords on the neck. After doing those for like say 25 times, your fingers will start getting achy and tired. Now try bending a single note, up and into the 2 strings above the one your hitting. Do that for 1000’s of times. Your fingers should be in agony. Stevie played those notes so hard on those strings, he would end up gluing the callouses back on his fingertips with superglue just to keep going. Stevie played with 13 gauge, and would BEND them up into the above 2 or 3 strings above that. Trying that with 9’s is hard enough. Try that with 13 gauge and you’ll swear those strings were steel cables. They usually don’t bend that far, but again, this is Stevie playing. Give the guitar a try behind you. I use Rocksmith on Xbox1 and PC on my MacBook Pro. I can already play, Last Dance with Mary Jane, Gimmee Shelter, Refugee, Blue Collar Man, and learning a few others. Cheers mate, and have FUN with these reactions. Gryphon 1 Corinthians 15:1-4
It's been said. Frets glowed from the heat of Stevies fingers. Bending notes that only Stevie knew were they were going too. The epitome of a guitar player that listened to the note in his head, and had it shaped and arranged before it ever reached his finger. People hearing gunshots be the mere snap of his fingers. Power and control unmatched.
Kevin Cooper that’s one my favourite SRV videos to watch. He looks like he just rolled out of bed, hungover to beat all hell, then he fires up and let’s all out on that guitar
Vaughan is pronounced "Von", btw. This song was written by Jimi Hendrix and this version is known as Voodoo Child Slight Return. R.I.P. Jimi and Stevie.
You see Stevie drop the guitar pick TWICE and didn't miss a beat after he picked them up! Photographed a lot of celebs in my 40+ year career. This photo session in my studio was the best! Love your intro. Keep up the good vibes...
Never gets away from Jimmy's original and yet he puts his own style in there at the same time and never misses a Beat you really need to see him play behind his back
STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST in my opinion anyway, man you need to check out more of him!!! His TIN PAN ALLEY with JOHNNY COPELAND is a PURE MUSICAL BLUES DELIGHT,💜💜💜💜💜
And... he couldn't read a note. He tried to learn, but gave up and just... played from his heart and soul. But he could listen to a song one time and play it lick for lick. He died 20 miles from where I live and I cried like a baby. He was the greatest blues guitarist of all time. BB King even said Stevie Ray Vaughn (pronounce Vawn) was the blackest white man he ever met. RIP Stevie.
My friends, I'm Lily white as they come.. but I've always enjoyed the black man's blues.. It's evident that brother Stevie did too.. We going through some times I'm sorry about.. I'm glad I play the guitar... I heard about brother Stevie's death when I was deployed for the Gulf war ,to an island in the Indian Ocean, I was working grave shift but stayed up all the next day listening to his music thinking about him... I also saw him twice in 1980"s
Come see us live we have so much fun in our chatroom. always give shout and all click here to check us out live. ruclips.net/channel/UC5RwpBw6fnj8IOgDJGklGOw
Yeah but King and Stevie had a special relationship. Albert King on more than one occasion referred to him as his son. "He's the only white boy with a black daddy."

That guitar full filled it's whole purpose of existence in this single performance.
Damn straight!!
Everytime I hear SRV it feels like a shot of pure adrenaline. Heart racing and pounding. 30 years now miss you Stevie ray

“Texas Flood” Live at El Mocambo!! It’s life changing!!
He plays behind his back like it’s nothing. SRV is the G. O. A. T. !!
Man we need to do that one also... thanks for the info... and thanks for watching our videos
@@TheMusicRecordingNetwork He also does Voodoo Child at Nashville mostly behind his back.
While also singing and being coked out of his mind.

Stevie was the only one that breaks down Jimmy's music with perfection! Shit soooo good!
That’s 13 gauge strings virtually unbendable and when he makes those faces it isn’t for the show
It's for the feel... ( Don't think he really is in pain :)
Herr Bönk the action was high on his neck settings and with strings that thick trying to bend them a step and a half? Try bending that much for a while show and tell us all how that feels

@@Linkacide Haha! Yes.
I was fortunate enough to see him live 3 times in the 80's, his shows were absolutely transcendent.
If he played for an hour I would want to hear more. He was amazing.
Stevie is the goat when you think of his intensity and feel on the guitar. Nobody can match the intensity while still playing clean and singing.
A shout out to the band. It's been said the SRV never played a song the same way twice. They were good enough to follow him wherever he went musically like it was easy.
Double Trouble is the shit!
Double Trouble was one of the best bands to let SRV play his way. All are accomplished musicians themselves.
The greatest guitarists never play the same song twice.
Stevie Ray never played the same song once.
They sure were tasteful, but following a soloist's improvisation is what every jazz bassist and jazz drummer does.
The bassist is laying down an amazing line.

Tammy Rhoads I’ve been an SRV fan since I was 15. Now I’m 40 and older than he ever was. :( feels bad.
Car-Cra in Tenn. and he played Hendrix’s songs better than Hendrix
This simply has never been played any better!
Big fan here in Dallas. Stevie's o!d stomping ground. The man is a legend to everyone but an absolute hero here in Texas. Miss this guy!
Old school playing you will never see again. Stevie Ray played in another world as always
This is a cover of Jimi Hendrix`s Voodoo Child. The best cover there will ever be !
For me I’d have to give Hurt by Johnny Cash a slight edge just because of the emotion behind it but this is right there with it.
I'm with you too.
Gary Moore voodoo
His cover of Little Wing is pretty damn good too.
For a cover that's right off the chart check out XTC's cover of 'All Along the Watchtower'.
I've been watching a lot of Stevie Ray live performances the last couple weeks, but I have to stop for a while. I start crying every time, it's so damn unfair that he's gone forever...Ladies, if you ever a find a man who looks at you the way he looked at his guitar, never let him get away.
The drums on this tune are as impressive as anything. SRV IS THE GOAT!!!!
Chris Layton......phenomenal
Don forget dat bass!
There was not a musician or tech on that stage that was not epic.
BONHAM
Lol he is an average drummer at very best. Bass and keyboards were great musicians. Srv made him famous.
This song by Stevie Ray Vaughan was also in a movie. I've seen him in concert three times n I've been a fan of his sense I was young. R.I.P my brother, keep playing.
Finest guitar shredder that ever lived. The soul just poured out of him.
Can you imagine the jam sessions going on in heaven right now. Jimmy, SRV and dime. I would love to hear that

Nah...he was a copycat.
Never played an original note in his life and he never outgrew his influences. He was forever playing other people's LICKS.
@@FramrodLiggins Yes he made covers, but he played with such SKILL and finesse, skill possessed by no other.
@@FramrodLiggins What a LAUGHABLE comment.
@@stevew585 ...
The "Elvis Presley of Blues"...?
The "zero imagination copycat"...?
@@FramrodLiggins As said, Laughable comment, you obviously have no clue atall, end of discussion.
I remember when I saw this for the first time on PBS in the middle of the night. Austin city limits show. I woke up the whole house. ..
Some musicians get on stage and play their songs for you. Some, give you a piece of their soul. SRV gave you some of himself with every performance.
Wow... so cool 😎 how you put it... thanks for watching and your comment 😀... peace and love always
The band embodied blues. They were so tight and in sync. Stevie would go off into orbit and they just follow not missing a beat.
As Michael Rhodes said about Joe Bonamassa " He's the Captain and we're the engine, we follow his lead. He gets the attention and we provide the power needed "

If you get a chance to react to another Stevie Rae Vaughn song I suggest “Little Wing” (live at el mocambo) it’s the opposite of this, it being his most melodic sweetest sounding song! Again Jimi wrote it, but Stevies version made me quit piano after 9 years and pick up a guitar 👍🏻🤟🏻 I love him like a hero, and want to one day play like him for other people.
I’ve subbed and hit the notification bell, I’ll be the first to watch it
Were waiting.
@@TheSarahbeach100 yes m8, still
The way how you play his guitar is incredible
Hey cat
@@TakablePond how are you doing bro
@@undergroundhip-hopreaction4731 great
Yes and thanks for watching our videos... peace and love to you
The cool thing about watching SRV reaction video's is that you never get tired of listening to the same song over and over :-)
I think i read somewhere that they asked BB King one time if he was the best to ever play a guitar and he said...Nope SRV is!!
That guitar ain’t crying it’s screaming in ecstasy! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
“I’ll see you in the next one, don’t be late.”
SRV 🎸🐐
I wish to live as pure a life as I can so I can go to heaven and listen to Stevie and Jimi jamming together.
I seen that guitar in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland I could still feel the magic coming off them strings
I was right there wit cha bruh! I'm a Texas boy and I can't tell you how many times I've listened to this and the very way that you were listening to this I am the same way. Lol! SRV will straight take you there!!!!
Yes... i was stuck and speechless 🙊.....lol wow 👏 thanks for watching and your comment 😀 peace ✌
Great reaction! There are some great suggestions for other Stevie Ray Vaughan (sounds like lawn) songs. I'm throwing in Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland.
I’m happy you chose this song, as this was one of Stevie’s best. He fed that guitar his life and soul into his music.
As a new guitarist at the ripe age of 52, SRV is a definite favourite of my home to listen to.
Stevie was known to use gauge 13 strings along with frets from a bass on his guitar neck, just from how strong his fingers were.
To give you some perspective, that lovely guitar you have on the wall over your left shoulder should have gauge 9 strings stock. Give a few notes or chords on the neck. After doing those for like say 25 times, your fingers will start getting achy and tired. Now try bending a single note, up and into the 2 strings above the one your hitting. Do that for 1000’s of times. Your fingers should be in agony.
Stevie played those notes so hard on those strings, he would end up gluing the callouses back on his fingertips with superglue just to keep going.
Stevie played with 13 gauge, and would BEND them up into the above 2 or 3 strings above that. Trying that with 9’s is hard enough. Try that with 13 gauge and you’ll swear those strings were steel cables. They usually don’t bend that far, but again, this is Stevie playing.
Give the guitar a try behind you. I use Rocksmith on Xbox1 and PC on my MacBook Pro.
I can already play, Last Dance with Mary Jane, Gimmee Shelter, Refugee, Blue Collar Man, and learning a few others.
Cheers mate, and have FUN with these reactions.

SRV had a big glass of iced tea after that. He gave the guitar a beer! RIP SRV
It's been said. Frets glowed from the heat of Stevies fingers. Bending notes that only Stevie knew were they were going too. The epitome of a guitar player that listened to the note in his head, and had it shaped and arranged before it ever reached his finger. People hearing gunshots be the mere snap of his fingers. Power and control unmatched.
Check out SRV doing his sound check! Holy crap! You will be so impressed.
Kevin Cooper that’s one my favourite SRV videos to watch. He looks like he just rolled out of bed, hungover to beat all hell, then he fires up and let’s all out on that guitar
That was a pretty hot beat at the beginning. A bit long, but I didn't get bored of it. Also, SRV is a god of rock and blues.
That guitar will give you beautiful sound and splinters.
Vaughan is pronounced "Von", btw. This song was written by Jimi Hendrix and this version is known as Voodoo Child Slight Return. R.I.P. Jimi and Stevie.
There's more than one vid where a string breaks and a guitar swap happens and a lick isn't missed.
RIP to the GOAT! His guitars begged him for mercy!
You see Stevie drop the guitar pick TWICE and didn't miss a beat after he picked them up! Photographed a lot of celebs in my 40+ year career. This photo session in my studio was the best! Love your intro. Keep up the good vibes...
Should check out Texas Flood next.
I heard u say make it look easy. Watch the Nashville voodoo child. He plays it behind his back
"it's old, it's torn and frayed, it's seen much better days, but as long as the guitar plays, it'll steal your heart away"
-Jagger and Richards
Never gets away from Jimmy's original and yet he puts his own style in there at the same time and never misses a Beat you really need to see him play behind his back
It's amazing how Stevie can bring out that "Stank Face" out of anyone who listens to his music.
Another 10k SRV fans are born every time a reaction video is made.
my man you have been formally introduced to the best there ever was
and best there ever will be!!!! SRV
I've heard this a zillion times and still believe this unbelievable 🎵🎶🎵🎶
Many Many Great Artist through out the years...
Stevie is different
Heart and Soul
This guys energy is everything
Thanks so so much and thanks for watching... peace and love peace ☮
Stevie didn’t play guitar. He took it from behind and had his way with it.
STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST in my opinion anyway, man you need to check out more of him!!! His TIN PAN ALLEY with JOHNNY COPELAND is a PURE MUSICAL BLUES DELIGHT,💜💜💜💜💜
Can you imagine Stevie Ray & Jimi Hendrix playing together?
Chris "whipper" Layton on the drums and Tommy Shannon on the bass, I'm S.R.V. Thank you so very much.
And... he couldn't read a note. He tried to learn, but gave up and just... played from his heart and soul. But he could listen to a song one time and play it lick for lick. He died 20 miles from where I live and I cried like a baby. He was the greatest blues guitarist of all time. BB King even said Stevie Ray Vaughn (pronounce Vawn) was the blackest white man he ever met. RIP Stevie.
I was driving in my car and heard over the radio that his helicopter had crashed and he died, he was the greatest.
Wow I did not know this at all.... man RIP 🙏 TO HIM.... TYE GOAT 🐐
My friends, I'm Lily white as they come.. but I've always enjoyed the black man's blues.. It's evident that brother Stevie did too.. We going through some times I'm sorry about.. I'm glad I play the guitar... I heard about brother Stevie's death when I was deployed for the Gulf war ,to an island in the Indian Ocean, I was working grave shift but stayed up all the next day listening to his music thinking about him... I also saw him twice in 1980"s
R.I.P. Stevie! Best guitarist Ever!!!!

More SRV. Thank you for reacting to one of the all time greats.
Ok cool i am looking for more now... thanks for watching and your request 😊.... 🙏
SRV could make a guitar do everything but bring you breakfast in the morning!
Wow, That was Superb, Can't get better than that!, Thank You!
Hey Angela Trump
Yes this one very good ... thanks for watching
He killed it every time all the time.
*Vaughan is pronounced Vawn. Rhymes with pawn. Stevie Ray Vaughan, the Legendary Blues Guitar Master from Austin, Texas.*
Loved when he'd go and play with Albert King.
Yeah that's one of my favs. You see the whole uncut session here on youtube
Players play. Stevie played with Albert King, Albert Collins, Dick Dale, all the greats.
Yeah but King and Stevie had a special relationship. Albert King on more than one occasion referred to him as his son. "He's the only white boy with a black daddy."
When bb King says I think he's got some black in him... you know he's got the soul/blues in him. Big compliment.
