EVERYBODY KEPT ASKING SO I HAD TO DELIVER... CHECK OUT MY FIRST REACTION TO STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN - TEXAS FLOOD w/ A SPECIAL GUEST ‼️🤣😂😭 ruclips.net/video/m4i09NDkv14/видео.html
Jimmy Hendrix a black man wrote that and many others all classics and that wasn't a pick on the floor that was a stomp box pedal board w/ famous JH cry baby pedal at his feet. He made an adjustment on. I'm glad you you recognize greatness when you see it. Stevie was the greatest Texas Rock Blues guitarist to ever walk this planet☮️
I'm a big fan a very Eric Clapton Jimi Hendrix and a whole lot of other guitar players I'm 71 years old and listen to blues and Rock pretty much my whole life and Stevie Ray Vaughan might be the best guitar player of all time it's not just a speed he plays like that Infamous part of his body he's playing for the soul nothing like it nothing like it. Gone way too soon musical Talent like that only comes along once in a hundred years rest in peace SRV !
I'm a musician and have been since 1977. I've never seen anyone dominate any instrument the way he does a guitar. Hands down, the best guitar player I've ever heard (and that's saying a lot). You can't teach this level of talent. It's a gift that other worldly. Jaw-droppingly awesome talent. There are no words.
You are so right....he was God's right hand of guitar on earth. Tragically died so young and just imagine how much more music he could have created and musical landscapes he could have scaled. I guess some men are like shooting stars of creative brilliance but aren't meant to burn bright for long ie Bruce Lee, Jimi Hendrix, James Dean.
He's also playing with 13 gauge strings, which are like telephone cables and extremely difficult to 'bend' with your fingers like that. Most other guitarists don't ever go with strings that tough. He makes it look easy, and it's part of his unique sound. His band is named 'Double Trouble', and they've been described as being 'as tight as a new pair of boots.' They certainly are
Those are usually bass guitar strings which is amazing he could play guitar the way he did with them . He actually used up to 15 gauge but his roadies told him he was breaking the necks of his guitars with them so he compromised and went to 13
It's my understanding that he switched to finer gauge strings at the suggestion of B.B. King, in later yrs. That's why he kept blowing strings all the time...lol. But he was still playing those monster strings when I first met him in 1980....
@@roymoore3156 Bassist is Tommy Shannon, who played for many years with another Texas Blues God, Johnny Winter; drummer extraordinaire Chris Layton; and later keyboardist Reese Wynans. I think the song tells a brief tale of friends who didn't always operate on the same time schedule -- "I didn't mean to take up all of your sweet time, give it back to you each and every day." "If I miss you in this world, meetcha in the next one ... don't be late!"
Listen to the original by Hendrix. Several of Jimi's songs have metaphysical references. People who knew him said they thought it was because he knew he would die young. Stevie Ray covered several of Jimi Hendrix's tunes. You should listen to Jimi's original of Little Wing, then Stevie's cover. I think Stevie did his only as an instrumental, but it'sawesome anyway. Sadly, he also died young. I'm a guitar player, from a family full of musicians. Yes, SRV and Jimi Hendrix were 2 of the best.
It's 110% a one man show. The other guitar was a bass guitar. The stank is all Stevie Ray. With that said, the band, Double Trouble, was just as badass as SRV.
you cant showcase a shit hot guitarist without a shit hot band backing him (they gotta be good to under pin a guy like this, hes not the easiest to follow).Double Trouble were legit, I agree
Each were great in their respective era given the technology available to each of them at the time they were at their heights. Imagine Jimi Hendrix with 2019 equipment, and conversely imagine Eddie Van Halen in the 50's using a little Marshall Reverb amp. Van Halen would still sound great talent wise, but 1980's epic?
After hearing S.R.V. play the first time Eric Clapton almost quit playing guitar 🎸! Clapton knew that if he practiced every hour, of every day, for eternity, he knew he'd NEVER be as good as Stevie Ray Vaughan! That's from Clapton's own mouth!..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
To paraphrase a quote from George Carlin, 'in order to play the blues, it's not enough to know which notes to play, you've gotta know why the notes need to be played'
I loved George Carlin but what you are quoting was something Carlin was dead wrong about. He said, "white people should not be playing the blues." What an ignorant statement! The blues is the basis for rock and roll and some of the greatest blues guitarists ever were/are white. SRV, Clapton, Beck, Bonamassa and many others.
Joshua Duncan • I like the quote from Bleedin’ Gums Murphy: “The blues ain’t about makin’ yourself feel better. It’s about makin’ other people feel worse.” 😎
His hands were so strong & large, he was able to play heavy, heavy strings & just beat them into submission. I knew him, I love him, I miss him. Best of the Best❤️💔❤️ Check out:: Life Without You
You nailed it....he had huge hands and the heavy gauge strings added to the sustain, tunability and distinctive tone that only he had. Often imitated, never duplicated. I agree he was the best guitarist ever. There have been faster flashier players but Nobody could ever match his soul, expression and fury . A lightning rod of technical brilliance that could completely go from 0 to 60 in a flash and then play soft and delicate.
@@dreddthaseeker6492 In my opinion, SRV did Jimi Hendrix better than Jimi Hendrix. Jimi was the Teacher, the Pathfinder, the Inspiration. But SRV, infused with Jimi's spirit, showed the music world what _he_ could do with that inspiration, and it was jaw-dropping beautiful, like no other. And that's not taking _anything_ from Jimi Hendrix, who is/was deserving of all the worship he's received. SRV was one of Jimi's greatest accomplishments...
He's bending down and messing with electronics. I saw him in concert a couple months before he was killed. I was in awe the entire 2 hours. Been to lots of rock (and blues, I'm from Memphis) concerts and I never saw anything like him. Most of the time he played with his eyes closed, of course, playing behind his back he couldn't see his hands. He was like, Beethoven or Mozart on the guitar-a true virtuoso. RIPSRV
This was Stevie's best playing ever. He had kicked the drugs and alcohol and was playing his absolute best. Sadly he died a short time later in a helicopter crash because of an incompetent pilot. It was Eric Clapton's helicopter but Stevie wanted to get back faster so he got on that helicopter. My absolute favorite guitarist of all time. RIP Stevie. "We all have missed you and the way you grinned." :-(
RIP SRV. One of, if not the GOAT. He died in a helicopter crash 36 days before his 36th birthday in 1990.You have to check out Texas Flood at El Macambo.
SRV was one of the greatest of all time, no doubt. He was a huge Jimi Hendrix fan, and covered a couple of his songs. This is one. He also covered Little Wing. He lived for the blues, and played like very few others could. He felt every note.
Dawn Learst SRV had several influences: Hendrix, Clapton, his brother Jimmie Vaughan, plus the old blues legends like “The Three Kings” (B.B., Albert, and Freddie King), as well as Johnny Copeland, and many others.
@@imweakfordeaky You are correct, its amazing how so many of them were intertwined, but I had read that early on, Clapton was large influence, as he was for so many, even Hendrix. (I know Clapton was impressed by Hendrix, but reason Hendrix wanted to go to England was Clapton.)
Don’t know and I’m sure someone probably mentioned it...the rhythm section is Double Trouble. The bass player is Tommy Shannon, he backed Johnny Winter before Double Trouble. The drummer is Chris Layton.
This was recording in 1989 at Austin City Limitis! You should check out his history and career you will fall in love for him! Check some other songs from Stevie and react to them! Tin Pan Alley, Texas Flood, Tighrope, Crossfire, Riviera Paradise, Dirty Pool!
Dude, you're funny af, had me cracking up several times. Beyond this, SRV OWNED that guitar and made into his image. The man was a legend above all others.
If you think this video is something, I've seen him live TWICE! The last time at Valley Forge Music Theater Philadelphia. He gave me goosebumps! Everyone was out of the seats screaming. He's magical just amazing!
I watched a rebroadcast this performance when I was about 14 or 15 years old. It blew my mind, and kept me interested in continuing to play the guitar.
@@seankelly378 Listen....I grew up on Jimi. I visited his grave in Seattle. Of course he's not Hendrix. But he's the closest thing there ever was.... all things considered.
I feel sorry for this young man who grew up without being exposed to Stevie,BB King,Buddy Guy ,Johnny Winter ect,Texas sure put out some fine blues stringers!
Gone too soon , but never forgotten. Stevie is and will always be the best. He deserves all the accolades given to and spoken about him , and yet they still do not do him justice. R. I. P. Stevie Ray Vaughn.
One of the greatest regrets of my life (and there have been quite a few) was not getting a ticket to his show when he toured Australia , not long before ha passed . It was a three hour drive to the gig and I had something unimportant to attend to that weekend. My thinking was like , " I'll catch him net time around". FAAAAAAAAARK !!!!
@@mcmoose64 Tough to hear. There are artists I never got to see too, but fortunately SRV isn’t one of them. In ‘86 and in ‘88 I flew across the country just to see him play. It was worth it.
Stevie is the quintessential Texas blues guitarist steeped in the influences of Albert King, Jimi Hendrix and other blues guitarists. The original recording was done in 1984 on the album “Couldn’t Stand the Weather” the title track (which is another dynamite song) to which there are other sampling’s of his genius. This is the 1st time I have seen this rendition but other videos and recordings are true to form of his ability to play live exactly the way he put it down on vinyl! You’re welcome
Yup. It was his Phaser Pedal. Then right after that he hits his Compressor Pedal when he plays that quick lead in the E-Panatonic Scale at the 12th frets.
I saw SRV live in '89 when he opened for Robert Plant in Rochester, NY.........Amazing!!! i had been following SRV for a few years. His catalog is filled with awesome songs.... THE BEST!!
I left high school the day his helicopter crashed.. it was 2 months after I got my first American made Strat.. still have it 30 years later.. play it every day.. he is an icon.. and this live version of Voodoo Chile is irreplaceable..
Was the GOAT! Gotta watch Texas Flood live. His double necker Pipeline with big brother Jimmy melts the mind. Anything he did with Johnny Copeland. was incredible or even his sit-ins with BB and Al King, Clapton...pretty much anyone...even the blind man Jeff Healy! Nobody told him he wasn't black either! (Stole that from Al King in reference to SRV) Self taught guitarist, just him, a bass player, drummer, and a keyboard on stage. All that work was him.
SRV was a master. His back up band now plays with Kenny Wayne Shepard. Not sure exactly when this was but it was the 80s. He died in 90 at 35. Can you imagine if he was still alive today?
Had the absolute honor of experiencing SRV and Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top) play impromptu jam at Hollywood Cafe, an old blues dive in Robinsonville, MS before new building turned it into tourist trap. An unforgettable night.
@@5roundsrapid263 , that's neat. They hadn't actually intended to play that night. They were just meeting at a small bar deep in the Delta. Only about 30 of us there. The piano player was talking to them and they decided to jam. I think SRV mentioned he was headed to Jackson for a concert the next day.
My oldest son is the youngest person to ever play the Subway, back when he was 15. He tore the place up with "Pride and Joy", one of the proudest nights of my life.
Much respect, Jimmy Hendrix, had his unique style, was deeply admired, whilst, he had his time, wonderful talent.🙏 Stevie Ray Vaughan, came along, and presented us all , with his unique playing, ability, that some how, took blues to the next level, one that, will, be felt, watched, with inner spiritual emotional, inspiration..forever 🙏🎸❤️
SRV is no mercy funk front to back. Went to High School with him a year, saw him in a talent show after he quit, he was good then. There is a recording of him at 15, good then, Look up "Texas Flood" in one of the live shows, he does that with a guitar behind his back. One of the few that can do justice to Hendrix as he does in Voodoo Child.
Just because Stevie is dead doesn't make him "the greatest". Tommy Emmanuel is a FAR better, cleaner player than SRV ever was. Stevie claimed that Hendrix was the GOAT (Greatest of all time) yet Stevie was better than he was, agreed? NOW with THAT being said watch this video...you will NEVER find a video of SRV playing like this. Tommy is just a much more accomplished, cleaner player (for lack of a better term). Stevie was great, I agree. Just don't shut off your mind to all others who have more talent because SRV is thought of as a legend. ruclips.net/video/cPkQn5nDTZs/видео.html
@@bunkman64 Lol you send me a link to a tommy playing a Beatles song one of the most overrated bands of all time. You can Like whoever you want . Clean doesn't make you better than other in my opinion . Jimmy page was a very sloppy guitar player yet his playing fit zeppelin better than anyone else playing would have.
Its not the SONG I wanted you to listen to. It was the difficulty of his playing the LEAD and RYTHM at the same time. You obviously know NOTHING about playing the guitar and how hard it is. The Beatles are "overrated"? Are you KIDDING me? I guess all of those GOLD RECORDS are just window dressing huh? Watch some of Tommy's other videos dude, I am 54 and play the guitar myself. Visit my channel if you like. I'm not that good but am very educated about the instrument. What he does with it is AMAZING. Tommy got his first guitar as a sperm. If there is someone better than him (and I'm sure there is) I have yet to see them. This man is the best I have ever witnessed in my 54 years on this earth hands down. Had Stevie lived, he would have developed to the level of Tommy Emmanuel. That was cut short. I loved Stevie and thought he was great, but not the best.
@@bunkman64 he wasnt the best but the greatest!! Gold records mean nothing !! look at the music thats out today most them bands have gold and platinum records as well !! The beatles we the boy band of the 60s. so what do you think about yngwie malmsteen john petrucci .
SRV didn't know how to read music. He played how he felt it, so no two concerts sounded the same. The guitar you seen in the background was the bass guitar.
@@keithremedy If you're saying " Yeah he did " to SRV knowing how to read music, you would be wrong. If you're saying it to " He played how he felt it ", then I'm with ya....lol
Hands down the greatest guitarist of all time. Him and jimmy forget about it. Theres not a guitarist on this planet now that comes close to stevie ray vaughan and never will. He played with his heart and the talent that God almighty gave him. God bless you stevie ray. R.I.P
I wished I had just a quarter of his talent. In my personal opinion, Stevie Ray Vaughan defines what a guitar player should be. I regret not noticing this more in my youth. I learned to play the guitar in high school. I wished my teacher and me would have shown more appreciation for him. I wouldn't have ever been able to touch Stevie's greatness, but I would have tried to do my best.
I seen SRV in the summer of 1982 in a small club in Buffalo, front row center. That event changed my life forever. There isn't a more soulful, physical player than SRV, RIP my bother!
I was fortunate enough to see SRV in 1981 I believe at the Crystal Ballroom in Baltimore right before he blew up. He was phenomenal. He was playing behind his head, switching guitars mid song without missing a beat. I was standing right next to him at the bar right before he started playing but was too intimidated to ask for his autograph. Oh how I wish I had that autograph now.
It does my heart good to watch youngsters enjoying music from my era and genuinely into it! Props to you guys bro! Keep listening and keep expanding. Stevie Ray Vaughn, G O A T? He's 2nd to only to one man and he's plying his sing in this video. JIMI HENDRIX!!!!!! That question is like Jordan or LeBron?
No one will ever be better than Stevie. No one will ever be able to sound like him either. The strings he played with are about as thick as a bass guitar. His strings were 13s. People rip there fingers up playing 9s. He is the GOAT
He took Hendrix' version (which was already awesome) and brilliantly made it his own. Great performance. It's Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble. Double Trouble is the drummer and bass player, one of the greatest rhythm sections of rock..
Stevie Ray is the ONLY man who not only played a Hendrix masterpiece, but augmented it. This performance was off the hook amazing and who knows what he would've been able to accomplish if he were not taken away so young.
The way you split screen the video is awesome. Many reactors make the music video so small, that you can barely see it. Your volume is perfect. It allows me to choose the volume. Fantastic job bro. P.S. Maybe less interuptions would make it perfect! I subscribed.
Absolutely great reaction. You are correct in your assessment that SRV is hands down the GOAT. if anyone, anywhere thinks differently they are mistaken. They've been fed misinformation. I could watch this dude in a loop.
Jackie newmeyer there is many greats I can play everything that Stevie has ever done recorded with double trouble does that make me a goat too no that just makes me a admirer of his music. I know many other guitar players that can play like Stevie well. I wish people would just be like this guys good instead of saying he’s the best Stevie is one of best and put Texas blues on the map. Look up Joe bonamassa woke up dreaming
Keith Remedy dude I hate it when people claim so and so is the goat too. But Stevie had something intangible they no one else, in my opinion, has ever had. And if you "can play anything Stevie has ever recorded" it makes you two things....1- pathetic that you're replying to a comment on RUclips and 2- a fucking liar. Good day sir.
This song is SRV’s cover of a Jimi Hendrix song... And here’s the lyrics: I stand up next to a mountain And I chop it down with the edge of my hand Well, I stand up next to a mountain I chop it down with the edge of my hand Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island Might even raise a little sand 'Cause I'm a voodoo child Voodoo child I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time I'll give it right back one of these days I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time I'll give it right back one of these days If I'll see you no more in this world I'll meet ya on the next one Don't be late Don't be late Well, I'm a voodoo child Lord knows I'm a voodoo child, baby
SRV was in a class all his own. Thank you God for letting us enjoy his music for the time he was with us AND for letting it be recorded so we can look back and remember what a blessing he was musically. I can listen to his body of work endlessly. R.I.P. Stevie. You will never be forgotten.
Stevie and Jimi, the two greatest of all time. Voodoo Chile was actually Jimi’s song, Stevie just covered it. But I’m sure Jimi was smiling when heard this. They knew each other and Jimi actually was one of Stevie’s mentors. RIP Jimi and Stevie.
Dude, Stevie Ray Vaughn is one of the all time greatest most phenomenal guitarist to ever live, ever, period. This is a remake of the legendary Jimi Hendricks song, who was an influential guitarist in Stevies life. Voodoo Child is a awesome song from beginning to end... And when you said he was having a seizure I'm pretty sure he was hitting one of his pedals that distorts the sound of the guitar... Anything Stevie does is awesome! He died when he was 36 in a helicopter crash... The world lost a legend that day, a true down to earth Texan would flat played the hell out of his guitar... Stevie Ray Vaughn was simply phenomenal...
Hey, Justin. I’m a white man and I love your you tube page. Just subscribed. I have been a fan of Stevie Ray Vaughan for many many years. In my opinion he’s the best guitar player ever. Voodoo Chile was originally played by Jimi Hendrix back in the 70s. Hendrix was a huge influence on Stevie. So were BB King, Albert King, and many other legendary blues players. Albert King kind of took him under his wing and helped him make his career. There are several videos of Albert and Stevie playing together. Stevie is so humble in Albert’s presence. When Albert was at his prime and Stevie was just a kid, Albert used to let him come up and play a song or two once in a while. Eventually, Stevie became very popular. I once heard Albert King say that Stevie is the blackest white man I have ever known! LOL. In any case, the man Definitely has a special talent and I love listening to him.
I've had the pleasure of seeing SRV 5x. With Jeff beck, fab tbirds, and 1month before passing with Joe Crocker. He was beautiful and awesome every time. Geezus I miss him. Can't go wrong with anything he's done. Him and Jeff stand alone.
@@adrock1011 the other 2x Frankie Starr and chill out factor opened. A local band here in CLE. Saw him when he was an addict and thank God clean. But he was always awesome.
They’re called ‘Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble’. Bass player and drummer, Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon. Some performances they have guest keys player or guitar player.

Agreed, the pinnacle of guitar
SRV. King of the strings!
He beat the music out of his guitar with force.
He's also playing with 13 gauge strings, which are like telephone cables and extremely difficult to 'bend' with your fingers like that. Most other guitarists don't ever go with strings that tough.

@@roymoore3156 Bassist is Tommy Shannon, who played for many years with another Texas Blues God, Johnny Winter; drummer extraordinaire Chris Layton; and later keyboardist Reese Wynans.

Unbelieveable guitar playing , he has no equal ! This is a gift ,you can't teach what he does!
This song was originally done by Jimi Hendrix, who was one of Stevie's idols. Stevie had soul pouring out of every pore of his body...
Stevie Ray Vaughan Texas Flood at El Macambo. It will blow your mind!!!
Yes play this version and Texas flood el macambo
This naturally has gotta be the next SRV song that he does.
I was about to type that in the comments... he will lose his mind on that one!!! 😎

Right...just in awe
Haha. I do the same thing!! 😂 I LOVE seeing that FIRST expression.
Lol. You are so right
EVERYONE 💜
Who wouldn’t ?
BB King said, I played the blues in sentences, SRV played them in paragraphs....
True he also said "I've never seen a white boy play guitar like that!"
Clapton basically said that SRV was the only guitarist to ever intimidate him when he had to follow him on stage twice.
God only loaned him to us, dude. He's upstairs with Jimi now.

STEVIE RAY VAUGHN. BEST GUITARIST WHO EVER LIVED!! Nuff Said. ❤&✌
John Payaso De La Muerte Reynolds love SRV, but he is 2nd only behind Hendrix
You forget about Hendrix, or are you high? He might be as good as Jimi but actually better? I will never agree to that.
@@dreddthaseeker6492 In my opinion, SRV did Jimi Hendrix better than Jimi Hendrix. Jimi was the Teacher, the Pathfinder, the Inspiration. But SRV, infused with Jimi's spirit, showed the music world what _he_ could do with that inspiration, and it was jaw-dropping beautiful, like no other. And that's not taking _anything_ from Jimi Hendrix, who is/was deserving of all the worship he's received. SRV was one of Jimi's greatest accomplishments...
@@JJ8KK still not giving the nod to SRV. Jimi is the man. Gona stick by that, bro.
@@JJ8KK Not in a billion lightyears will any of them ever come close to Jimi!!!!!!
Stevie Ray is, was and always shall be a GOAT. Hands down!!!
He's not a guitar whisperer. He's THE guitar whisperer.
He is the guitar.
#FACT
Not sure what that makes Hendrix..
@@leethomas7659 The originator. Without Hendrix there would be no SRV.
that entire concert was at Austin City Limits and every second is priceless...
He's bending down and messing with electronics.
I saw him in concert a couple months before he was killed. I was in awe the entire 2 hours. Been to lots of rock (and blues, I'm from Memphis) concerts and I never saw anything like him. Most of the time he played with his eyes closed, of course, playing behind his back he couldn't see his hands.
He was like, Beethoven or Mozart on the guitar-a true virtuoso.
RIPSRV
he's not picking up his pick off the floor. he is adjusting his pedal! ON THE FLY!
Damn right!
This was Stevie's best playing ever. He had kicked the drugs and alcohol and was playing his absolute best. Sadly he died a short time later in a helicopter crash because of an incompetent pilot. It was Eric Clapton's helicopter but Stevie wanted to get back faster so he got on that helicopter. My absolute favorite guitarist of all time. RIP Stevie. "We all have missed you and the way you grinned." :-(
Almost identical ending as Buddy Holly ... took someone else's air ride to get back faster, and went straight to rock'n'roll heaven.
No. He’s the only guitar. You are looking at the Bass player.😎
Listen to the bass lines, they are near perfection!!! Like Stevie, if he made a mistake we’d never know!
RIP SRV. One of, if not the GOAT. He died in a helicopter crash 36 days before his 36th birthday in 1990.You have to check out Texas Flood at El Macambo.
THE BEST! If you watch other videos of him playing this, he never plays a song the same way twice. God given talent.
B. B. King: "I've said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed."
SRV was one of the greatest of all time, no doubt. He was a huge Jimi Hendrix fan, and covered a couple of his songs. This is one. He also covered Little Wing. He lived for the blues, and played like very few others could. He felt every note.
Charles Vasseur : That’s Jimi Hendrix. ( Jimmy Page was from Led Zeppelin )
@@imweakfordeaky you are correct. I knew that, just had a brain fart. Appreciate the correction
SRV was a Clapton follower. That's where he learned a lot he said.
Dawn Learst SRV had several influences: Hendrix, Clapton, his brother Jimmie Vaughan, plus the old blues legends like “The Three Kings” (B.B., Albert, and Freddie King), as well as Johnny Copeland, and many others.
@@imweakfordeaky You are correct, its amazing how so many of them were intertwined, but I had read that early on, Clapton was large influence, as he was for so many, even Hendrix. (I know Clapton was impressed by Hendrix, but reason Hendrix wanted to go to England was Clapton.)
Don’t know and I’m sure someone probably mentioned it...the rhythm section is Double Trouble. The bass player is Tommy Shannon, he backed Johnny Winter before Double Trouble. The drummer is Chris Layton.
This was recording in 1989 at Austin City Limitis! You should check out his history and career you will fall in love for him! Check some other songs from Stevie and react to them! Tin Pan Alley, Texas Flood, Tighrope, Crossfire, Riviera Paradise, Dirty Pool!
Dude, you're funny af, had me cracking up several times. Beyond this, SRV OWNED that guitar and made into his image. The man was a legend above all others.
If you think this video is something, I've seen him live TWICE! The last time at Valley Forge Music Theater Philadelphia. He gave me goosebumps! Everyone was out of the seats screaming. He's magical just amazing!
That clip is from his second and last appearance on Austin city Limits on October 10 1989.
Tuco Ramirez GOD BLESS SRV 🐐 Clean & Sober and CRUSHING IT ! Gone too soon 🙏🏼
Tuco Ramirez This show at Austin City Limits is extraordinary Have watched *Cold Shot* *Little Sister* From Same Night & OMG it’s all INSANE 🐐
This was SRV at his best. Clean, sober and loving life. Never get tired of listening to him.
This was 82 or 83. When I came back from laconia. This was on Father's Day. Steve & his brother Jimmy were together. Jimmy plays rhythm guitar
The song was originally done by Jimi Hendrix. But Stevie Ray Vaughan is definitely one of guitars gods
I rember when I was a Kid saw him on "Austin City Limits" Just blew Me away
I watched a rebroadcast this performance when I was about 14 or 15 years old. It blew my mind, and kept me interested in continuing to play the guitar.
This Thursday, Aug 27 will be 30 years without SRV. Thank you for keeping his music alive.
Yes he is one of thr guitar gods R.I.P. Stevie Ray
A Jimi Hendrix composition...I think he does this song great justice..
Great Justice??? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME MAN.
@@RickyPisano yea , but he's still no Jimi Hendrix
@@seankelly378 Listen....I grew up on Jimi. I visited his grave in Seattle. Of course he's not Hendrix. But he's the closest thing there ever was.... all things considered.
@@RickyPisano yes , and still a mile off , that's nothing on him , there no other Jimi
Sean Kelly you’re right, he’s light years ahead of Hendrix
Anything from SRV’s Live at the El Mocambo concert... also, Anything from his Austin City Limits one. And “Texas Flood” by SRV and Johnny Copeland
His texas flood from live at the el Macombo, and leave my little girl alone are my favorites. Absolutely incredible
srv and johny copeland tin pan alley!!!!
@@mr.h.36 Yes!
I feel sorry for this young man who grew up without being exposed to Stevie,BB King,Buddy Guy ,Johnny Winter ect,Texas sure put out some fine blues stringers!
Maxine McClurd well, we can always teach him by suggesting!
Here it is almost 29 years after SRV's tragic accidental death, and people are still hearing this massive talent for the first time.
Gone too soon , but never forgotten. Stevie is and will always be the best. He deserves all the accolades given to and spoken about him , and yet they still do not do him justice. R. I. P. Stevie Ray Vaughn.
"This sounds like we already 15 drinks in" You made me spit my beer out LOL
(Comment on the 6.20 mark...)
Stevie is actually doing all the lifting.
The guy you see behind him is the bass player.
Tommy Shannon, one of the best bass players out there.
One of the greatest regrets of my life (and there have been quite a few) was not getting a ticket to his show when he toured Australia , not long before ha passed .
It was a three hour drive to the gig and I had something unimportant to attend to that weekend. My thinking was like , " I'll catch him net time around".
FAAAAAAAAARK !!!!
@@mcmoose64 Tough to hear. There are artists I never got to see too, but fortunately SRV isn’t one of them. In ‘86 and in ‘88 I flew across the country just to see him play. It was worth it.
Stevie Ray Vaughan is the guitarist and singer... his backing band is Double Trouble. (Bassist and Drummer... and sometimes a keyboard player)
Greatest Hendrix cover OF ALL TIME. SRV's cover of Little Wing is also FILTHY!
Gary Moore....Red House.
Agreed
Stevie is the quintessential Texas blues guitarist steeped in the influences of Albert King, Jimi Hendrix and other blues guitarists. The original recording was done in 1984 on the album “Couldn’t Stand the Weather” the title track (which is another dynamite song) to which there are other sampling’s of his genius. This is the 1st time I have seen this rendition but other videos and recordings are true to form of his ability to play live exactly the way he put it down on vinyl! You’re welcome
That's the bass player you see. Stevie is doing ALL the guitar work. This performance occurred on Austin City Limits back in the 80's.
No seizure... he’s sustaining the notes on the neck, and working his pedals on the floor
yup - the 'seizure' was him hitting his 'wah wah' pedal repeatedly
@@jduncanandroid Probably the Tube Screamer pedal, not the Wah-Wah.
Yup. It was his Phaser Pedal. Then right after that he hits his Compressor Pedal when he plays that quick lead in the E-Panatonic Scale at the 12th frets.
Wah
Also John Deacon is one of the most lyrical, melodic bass players in history.
@@lovemetal2467 He never used a phaser......That's an Octavia he kicks on when he gets nasty not a compressor. 🤠
SRV is a GOAT no debate
Hendrix
There is no, "greatest."
'a GOAT'... a greatest? Do you actually know what that means?
dude has crazy flow, I been playing for over 20 years, 1day maybe i will have even 10% of his flow? maybe
@@shoeplayisbad1 I second this.
I saw SRV live in '89 when he opened for Robert Plant in Rochester, NY.........Amazing!!! i had been following SRV for a few years. His catalog is filled with awesome songs.... THE BEST!!
I saw that same double-bill in Cleveland a year earlier. Phenomenal
I left high school the day his helicopter crashed.. it was 2 months after I got my first American made Strat.. still have it 30 years later.. play it every day.. he is an icon.. and this live version of Voodoo Chile is irreplaceable..
You should check him out when he has his brother with him. Two men one guitar.... Badassery afoot...
SRV..TEXAS FLOOD...live. Stevie is a LEGEND!!
Was the GOAT! Gotta watch Texas Flood live. His double necker Pipeline with big brother Jimmy melts the mind. Anything he did with Johnny Copeland. was incredible or even his sit-ins with BB and Al King, Clapton...pretty much anyone...even the blind man Jeff Healy! Nobody told him he wasn't black either! (Stole that from Al King in reference to SRV) Self taught guitarist, just him, a bass player, drummer, and a keyboard on stage. All that work was him.
Please keep exploring his live performances. He played behind his back better than most can play in the front.
Stevie IS the GOAT!!! He is in heaven now giving lessons!!!
Anything SRV will blow your mind best guitarist ever
Lmao 😂 “is he having a seizure and the guitar kept playing?”
He has Pedals on the floor for effects
Flipping pickup switch up & down does the same thing
WaWA pedal.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wah-wah_pedal#History
SRV was a master. His back up band now plays with Kenny Wayne Shepard. Not sure exactly when this was but it was the 80s. He died in 90 at 35. Can you imagine if he was still alive today?
Double Trouble also recorded with Nuno Mindelis on the album "12 Hours"
Modern music wouldn't suck
@@jerredwayne8401 lol. So true
Had the absolute honor of experiencing SRV and Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top) play impromptu jam at Hollywood Cafe, an old blues dive in Robinsonville, MS before new building turned it into tourist trap. An unforgettable night.
He hung out in Mississippi a lot just before he died. He was playing the Subway Lounge in Jackson at that time, too.
@@5roundsrapid263 , that's neat. They hadn't actually intended to play that night. They were just meeting at a small bar deep in the Delta. Only about 30 of us there. The piano player was talking to them and they decided to jam. I think SRV mentioned he was headed to Jackson for a concert the next day.
Tupelo Honey Yeah, he was at the Coliseum that night.
My oldest son is the youngest person to ever play the Subway, back when he was 15. He tore the place up with "Pride and Joy", one of the proudest nights of my life.
@@marielaveau5321 ,Wow! I'm sure that was! Does he still perform?
Much respect, Jimmy Hendrix, had his unique style, was deeply admired, whilst, he had his time, wonderful talent.🙏
Stevie Ray Vaughan, came along, and presented us all , with his unique playing, ability, that some how, took blues to the next level, one that, will, be felt, watched, with inner spiritual emotional, inspiration..forever
🙏🎸❤️
Stevie was and still is the best soul guitarist ever,,, he was so under rated , love him
SRV is no mercy funk front to back. Went to High School with him a year, saw him in a talent show after he quit, he was good then. There is a recording of him at 15, good then,
Look up "Texas Flood" in one of the live shows, he does that with a guitar behind his back.
One of the few that can do justice to Hendrix as he does in Voodoo Child.
Stevie wasn't the greatest. He was the guy the greatest went to for advice.
you're out of your mind !
Just because Stevie is dead doesn't make him "the greatest". Tommy Emmanuel is a FAR better, cleaner player than SRV ever was. Stevie claimed that Hendrix was the GOAT (Greatest of all time) yet Stevie was better than he was, agreed? NOW with THAT being said watch this video...you will NEVER find a video of SRV playing like this. Tommy is just a much more accomplished, cleaner player (for lack of a better term). Stevie was great, I agree. Just don't shut off your mind to all others who have more talent because SRV is thought of as a legend. ruclips.net/video/cPkQn5nDTZs/видео.html
@@bunkman64 Lol you send me a link to a tommy playing a Beatles song one of the most overrated bands of all time. You can Like whoever you want . Clean doesn't make you better than other in my opinion . Jimmy page was a very sloppy guitar player yet his playing fit zeppelin better than anyone else playing would have.
Its not the SONG I wanted you to listen to. It was the difficulty of his playing the LEAD and RYTHM at the same time. You obviously know NOTHING about playing the guitar and how hard it is. The Beatles are "overrated"? Are you KIDDING me? I guess all of those GOLD RECORDS are just window dressing huh? Watch some of Tommy's other videos dude, I am 54 and play the guitar myself. Visit my channel if you like. I'm not that good but am very educated about the instrument. What he does with it is AMAZING. Tommy got his first guitar as a sperm. If there is someone better than him (and I'm sure there is) I have yet to see them. This man is the best I have ever witnessed in my 54 years on this earth hands down. Had Stevie lived, he would have developed to the level of Tommy Emmanuel. That was cut short. I loved Stevie and thought he was great, but not the best.
@@bunkman64 he wasnt the best but the greatest!! Gold records mean nothing !! look at the music thats out today most them bands have gold and platinum records as well !! The beatles we the boy band of the 60s. so what do you think about yngwie malmsteen john petrucci .
SRV didn't know how to read music. He played how he felt it, so no two concerts sounded the same. The guitar you seen in the background was the bass guitar.
Deray M yea he did lol
Deray M as a guitar player of 17 years you never play the same solo come on. Look at Clapton, Mayer they never play a solo the same
@@keithremedy If you're saying " Yeah he did " to SRV knowing how to read music, you would be wrong. If you're saying it to " He played how he felt it ", then I'm with ya....lol
He took music theory in high school. He did have knowledge of the theory side of things.
@bobby Osborne
Really? Part of his reason for leaving the david bowie gig was because he couldn't read.
Hands down the greatest guitarist of all time. Him and jimmy forget about it. Theres not a guitarist on this planet now that comes close to stevie ray vaughan and never will. He played with his heart and the talent that God almighty gave him. God bless you stevie ray. R.I.P
I wished I had just a quarter of his talent. In my personal opinion, Stevie Ray Vaughan defines what a guitar player should be. I regret not noticing this more in my youth. I learned to play the guitar in high school. I wished my teacher and me would have shown more appreciation for him. I wouldn't have ever been able to touch Stevie's greatness, but I would have tried to do my best.
I seen SRV in the summer of 1982 in a small club in Buffalo, front row center. That event changed my life forever. There isn't a more soulful, physical player than SRV, RIP my bother!
The Greatest Ever!!!!
Rest Peacefully Stevie Ray Vaughn
I totally agree with the other comments about “Texas Flood”
I was fortunate enough to see SRV in 1981 I believe at the Crystal Ballroom in Baltimore right before he blew up. He was phenomenal. He was playing behind his head, switching guitars mid song without missing a beat. I was standing right next to him at the bar right before he started playing but was too intimidated to ask for his autograph. Oh how I wish I had that autograph now.
I believe this is from his second appearance on Austin City Limits. Drug free and sounding amazing. I wish I could have seen them live just once.
"Is he some sort of guitar whisperer?"... HELL YEA!!
There has to be a word beyond "stank" for this.....
Then again, SRV is beyond ANY words....
JB: Stank is "the" word, brother. He is the Goat.
But don't over look that damn drummer. The driving beat is unlike any other. Justin, you nailed this, just as you do all others. You the man!
Stevie Ray Vaughan's performance of Texas Flood live at either Blues Celebration or El Macambo.
That entire show was legendary.
It does my heart good to watch youngsters enjoying music from my era and genuinely into it! Props to you guys bro! Keep listening and keep expanding. Stevie Ray Vaughn, G O A T? He's 2nd to only to one man and he's plying his sing in this video. JIMI HENDRIX!!!!!! That question is like Jordan or LeBron?
No one will ever be better than Stevie. No one will ever be able to sound like him either. The strings he played with are about as thick as a bass guitar. His strings were 13s. People rip there fingers up playing 9s. He is the GOAT
He took Hendrix' version (which was already awesome) and brilliantly made it his own. Great performance. It's Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble. Double Trouble is the drummer and bass player, one of the greatest rhythm sections of rock..
Stevie Ray is the ONLY man who not only played a Hendrix masterpiece, but augmented it. This performance was off the hook amazing and who knows what he would've been able to accomplish if he were not taken away so young.
@@djs3484 Totally agree, Dom! They were both taken too soon!
The way you split screen the video is awesome. Many reactors make the music video so small, that you can barely see it. Your volume is perfect. It allows me to choose the volume. Fantastic job bro. P.S. Maybe less interuptions would make it perfect! I subscribed.
SRV was the feature guitarist on David Bowie's "Let's Dance." His playing gives him away, especially near the end of China Girl.
The SOUL of the guitar came out!!! The GOAT!!!! PEACE!!!
A legend. Stevie was a god and taken too soon. Contemporary blues has never been the same without him.
Try Telephone Song.
Absolutely great reaction. You are correct in your assessment that SRV is hands down the GOAT. if anyone, anywhere thinks differently they are mistaken. They've been fed misinformation. I could watch this dude in a loop.
Jackie newmeyer there is many greats I can play everything that Stevie has ever done recorded with double trouble does that make me a goat too no that just makes me a admirer of his music. I know many other guitar players that can play like Stevie well. I wish people would just be like this guys good instead of saying he’s the best Stevie is one of best and put Texas blues on the map. Look up Joe bonamassa woke up dreaming
I think Darrel Abbott was an amazing guitarist, just as good as Stevie
He is the best no doubt about it
Keith Remedy dude I hate it when people claim so and so is the goat too. But Stevie had something intangible they no one else, in my opinion, has ever had. And if you "can play anything Stevie has ever recorded" it makes you two things....1- pathetic that you're replying to a comment on RUclips and 2- a fucking liar. Good day sir.
This song is SRV’s cover of a Jimi Hendrix song...
And here’s the lyrics:
I stand up next to a mountain
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I stand up next to a mountain
I chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island
Might even raise a little sand
'Cause I'm a voodoo child
Voodoo child
I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time
I'll give it right back one of these days
I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time
I'll give it right back one of these days
If I'll see you no more in this world
I'll meet ya on the next one
Don't be late
Don't be late
Well, I'm a voodoo child
Lord knows I'm a voodoo child, baby
Clapton said of SRV, there was no beginning and end, just the flow.
SRV was in a class all his own. Thank you God for letting us enjoy his music for the time he was with us AND for letting it be recorded so we can look back and remember what a blessing he was musically. I can listen to his body of work endlessly. R.I.P. Stevie. You will never be forgotten.
Stevie and Jimi, the two greatest of all time. Voodoo Chile was actually Jimi’s song, Stevie just covered it. But I’m sure Jimi was smiling when heard this. They knew each other and Jimi actually was one of Stevie’s mentors. RIP Jimi and Stevie.
Dude, Stevie Ray Vaughn is one of the all time greatest most phenomenal guitarist to ever live, ever, period. This is a remake of the legendary Jimi Hendricks song, who was an influential guitarist in Stevies life. Voodoo Child is a awesome song from beginning to end... And when you said he was having a seizure I'm pretty sure he was hitting one of his pedals that distorts the sound of the guitar...
Anything Stevie does is awesome! He died when he was 36 in a helicopter crash... The world lost a legend that day, a true down to earth Texan would flat played the hell out of his guitar... Stevie Ray Vaughn was simply phenomenal...
Jimmy created it. Stevie made it a masterpiece.
This was the 80's . He had an untimely death in a helicopter crash going from one gig to another in 1990. And this song in a cover from Jimi Hendrix
He’s my favourite player of all time have not heard anybody else play with this energy and feeling
Hey, Justin. I’m a white man and I love your you tube page. Just subscribed. I have been a fan of Stevie Ray Vaughan for many many years. In my opinion he’s the best guitar player ever. Voodoo Chile was originally played by Jimi Hendrix back in the 70s. Hendrix was a huge influence on Stevie. So were BB King, Albert King, and many other legendary blues players. Albert King kind of took him under his wing and helped him make his career. There are several videos of Albert and Stevie playing together. Stevie is so humble in Albert’s presence. When Albert was at his prime and Stevie was just a kid, Albert used to let him come up and play a song or two once in a while. Eventually, Stevie became very popular. I once heard Albert King say that Stevie is the blackest white man I have ever known! LOL. In any case, the man
Definitely has a special talent and I love listening to him.
I've had the pleasure of seeing SRV 5x. With Jeff beck, fab tbirds, and 1month before passing with Joe Crocker. He was beautiful and awesome every time. Geezus I miss him. Can't go wrong with anything he's done. Him and Jeff stand alone.
Kevin Senquiz good god man... thats a solid resume!
@@adrock1011 the other 2x Frankie Starr and chill out factor opened. A local band here in CLE. Saw him when he was an addict and thank God clean. But he was always awesome.
They’re called ‘Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble’. Bass player and drummer, Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon. Some performances they have guest keys player or guitar player.
That's not another guitar in the back buddy,that's the bass player
I was Gonna say something! Never heard of a band!
I love watching all the young'uns discovering my guitar God.
