The MUST SEE performance? Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood (Live at the El Mocambo) That will take away any doubt.
As well, "Little Wing" from that show!
@@TisJustMe... Agreed with both...Texas Flood is perhaps my favorite live musical performance OF ALL TIME. And Little Wing is even more of a departure from the original than Voodoo Child, yet he never loses the soul of the original.
This one is a must!!!
Honestly, the whole show is crazy!!
Life Without You @ Capitol Theater....the guitar switch from Red to Scotch, the breaking teeth, and of course, the behind-the-back...
He was the greatest. The day we lost him was devastating. I'll never forget that day.
Nope, his idol was. Jimi Hendrix. He even said so...
I would absolutely put both of them in top 5, but Mark Knopfler from Dire Straights in my opinion is the best. IYKYK about Mark.
Agreed, I was walking through the door at work to start my day when I heard. Crushing.
Yeah. I was obsessed with him. I was 16 and actually listening to him on my headphones in the backseat of the family car when it was announced over the radio he had died in a helicopter crash. The crazy thing was we were on a family trip going to the area in Wisconsin where he played the night before.
@@lez0n I was at boot camp not too far away. We didn't have TV or radio, one of the drill instructors told us.
Prince was great. There are many who are great. Then, there was Stevie Ray Vaughan. That's my opinion He's my number 1. Everyone has their favorite, and he's mine.
My top three: Prince, Stevie and Jimi (not in that order).... Nobody has their swag!
I'm a huge Hendrix and SRV fan. Stevie wore his influences on his sleeve. He was a huge fan of Hendrix along with the 3 kings (BB, Albert and Freddie) as well as Lighting Hopkins, his brother Jimmy, and others. Stevie may be the only person to have ever walked the earth that could out-Hendrix Hendrix. The aforementioned players were the innovators. Stevie took their ideas to the next level.
So, if you are woke, he stole from the black race
i agree his take of ,Voodoo child is much cleaner than the master.
"Out Hendrix, Hendrix" perfectly put.
@@terrencenordstrom3309❤
Well said. I like that wearing it on sleeve thing. He definitely was, without even saying a word, playing tribute to his influencer's.
The thing that sets SRV apart (for me) can be summed up in 3 words:
Watch the Knobs.
Most guitarists set their tone and volume knobs before a given song, then play all the way through the song with those same settings. SRV tends to adjust those settings several times WITHIN a given song to get his guitar to produce the EXACT sound he wants for that particular portion of the song. Between the knobs, pedals, string bending, and pick placement over the pickups, SRV gets EVERYTHING he possibly can out of his guitar.
To see SRV play THE ENTIRE GUITAR,watch Third stone from the sun",LIVE at El Macombo! Another Hendrix song.
So he plays like Peter Green who was always changing volume and tone, but no floor peddles......he used his fingers to create magic sounds.
Not knowing anything about "the knobs" , I get it!! I am always amazed at what an ear he had.
Well, he did bend tf out of those giant strings lol He had to adjust. He was so awesome in concert
Texas Flood live, is an amazing video, and shows how talented Stevie was, he is a great example of someone feeling the music he's playing. He is the guitar G.O.A.T imo
Live AT THE EL MACOMBO!!!
@@johnroop9625Yes, it must be the El Macombo live version.
My top 5 changes but SRV is always there! Prince was an amazing guitarist! You should check out the performance of “While my Guitar Gently Weeps” tribute for George Harrison’s induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! It was epic! His solo is toward the end so don’t get impatient 😂😂 You really need to check out SRV’s “Texas Flood” live from El Macambo it will not disappoint! ❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
Princes ending throw at that show is such a boss move :D
Prince could have made it just by playing guitar. I'd of loved it if he had done some Blues tunes.
If you want to see Prince just absolutely cut loose, that video of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” is a MUST!
Prince isn't in the same league as SRV or Hendrix, he just isn't.
Prince?The solo of "While my guitar gently weeps" is the only time you'll see Prince go crazy on guitar.Prince top 100,maybe top 75,but few put him higher than 50 or so.Prince could play virtually every instrument known to man,but guys like SRV put 5-plus hours a day into THE GUITAR!
The worst "celebrity" death of all. Had waited 6 years to see him live. Finally that day came. I was right in front of him. His sweat dripped all over me from the stage! He died two weeks later. Still not over it. Stevie is the pride of Texas. Thanks for reacting to my favorites, BP: Madchild and SRV. Dope musicians.
I feel this. When Cliff Burton from Metallica died, I had just seen him live 7 months or so before. I was shook. SRV also stung just like most of Skynard passing and Bon Scott. 😢😢😢
Stevie is absolutely amazing. I always wonder why he doesn't get more praise. I don't hear anyone talk much about him. I'm no musician but I know I was in shock when I saw him on the guitar. Then he started to sing and my mouth fell open!!! Super special talent.
SRV was special.
He is the most gifted who ever touched a guitar. Prince couldn’t hold Stevie’s jock
He makes you forget how really great the bassist and drummer are
SRV ~ 🎸🐐 The goatiest goat in all of goatness
The only artist who consistently makes my jaw drop. He was other worldly. And that guitar was WELL traveled. ❤
Stevie’s guitar was the first instrument to ever make me cry.
I saw Stevie Ray on the soul to soul tour, i was totally clean and sober, i came out of there walking about 4 feet above the ground...
Ive been to a lot of concerts and played a lot of gigs over the years, but Stevie Ray was something else.
It was impossible to separate the man from the guitar, they were one.
It can’t be over stated how much of a fan Stevie was to Jimmy Hendrix. SRV actually went to Jimmy’s father and asked permission to do this song. Not only was it granted but he’s actually using Jimmy’s wawa pedal.
I talked a friend into going to see Stevie Ray just before he hit it big. Almost 40 years later when I see him, the 1st thing he does is thank me.
I saw him twice, and I think he could play anything. He was one with the guitar. My top choice.
Was around for Jimmy Hendrix. Stevie Ray. Was just beyond words. I got goosebumps when I heard Stevie Ray play this. ❤
if you notice Stevie's whammy bar is on top at the low E position instead of it being on the bottom . He also plays 13 gauge strings , they look like piano wire . Still he manages to break them with some of the bends he does . He has large and powerful hands . I heard that he had actually super glued his pads on his fingers back on for a concert !!
I don't play the guitar but it looks like he is straight abusing that guitar to force it to make the sounds he wants from it.
He also used bass frets and would still grind them down pretty quickly.
There's a video of him at the Cotton Club and he held his hand up with fingers towards his face as if to say "shhhh". You can see the pads of his fingers if you look closely, they're all steel gray and gnarly from the strings. Chris Layton said Stevie would use a tiny dab of super glue on his fingertips and then touch his palm to tear off skin to make a patch. After it dried he'd smooth it with a nail file, then try to collect a bit of oil on his fingertips from touching his face, or Chris's, to soften the patch a bit. Stevie was one of a kind!
👏🙌🎸🎶‼️.Introducing someone else to Stevie Ray‼️. And yes this is a very hard song to play. Most guitarists don't try publically😉. Stevie loved and respected and was inspired by Jimi but he is an artist with his own body of work, his own compositions that showcase his abilities both as a vocalist as well as guitarist. Everything from this same venue is 🔥. My absolute favorite creation of his Riveria Paradise from this set. It was created after Stevie's own rehab and recovery and dedicates it to all those still suffering in any way. It is soothing balm for your soul and feels like a warm and golden hug from this man's soul✨🌟⭐️✨. It is an instrumental but his message hits you on all levels. He spent the last 4 years of his life helping show others how and why to get sober. He always took time to help, encourage and inspire sobriety. Thanks for bringing this today✌️👋💯
Jimmy's family let Stevie use Jimmy actual wha pedal for this song. So sick
Damn. Thank you...friend of Bob 😊
Stevie Ray, Texas Flood is the GOAT!
It’s called swag… he just has it… only reason he was born was to play the guitar… thank you God
Texas Flood is a must SRV plays guitar behind his back... AWESOME.
He could do it all on guitar, and in my opinion, was a very underrated singer. He's in my top five, for sure. I've always wondered how his music would have evolved if he'd lived.
He’s the perfect combination of very technically gifted and someone who loves and feels every note.
Stevie was the greatest musician I have ever seen and I am a drummer! He wen’t to another place he didn’t just have great chops it was his soul it was like he was floating on stage. It is impossible to describe but I know I have not or never will see that again in my lifetime and doubt anyone will long after I am gone.
''THE'' GREATEST to ever walk the Earth!
SRV… The GOAT!!!! This performance is absolutely incredible!!!!!! Love Stevie Ray!
to see him all fresh and healthy in this performance was everything - he'd been thru his battles w addiction and had rediscovered he could play w/o all that stuff and to lose him after that awakening still breaks my heart - the man and the music we all didn't get to experience breaks me. I'll never forget that day, a buddy came out from the shop office telling us he was gone, all I could do to stay standing was lean on my beam I was welding, put my head in my welding mask and ball 😭😭😭😭
such an amazing soul ❤❤❤❤
He never read music. He never played the songs exactly the same. He was from another world!
Saw SRV in the 80s he was the real deal!! RIP SRV the GOAT!!!
Saw Stevie Ray in 1986, one of the best concerts ever!! My sister and I had to get up dance!! Awesome, I’m so happy and blessed to have seen him and Double Trouble! The best! RIP Stevie Ray!💜
SRV speaks for himself on this incredible performance. Props to Chris Layton on drums and Tommy Shannon on bass - - Double Trouble. How those guys knew how to keep SRV grounded and on time during his solos is way beyond me. As I much as the rock and blues world was devastated by the sudden loss of SRV, I always felt so bad for Chris and Tommy. They lost their best friend and their future in the blink of an eye. I''ll be traveling thru Dallas in a few months. I'm carving out some to time to stop and visit SRV's grave. May he rest in peace.
SRV, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), Prince, Duane Allman (The Allman Brothers)... all are amazing and worth checking out
Derek Trucks is top 5.
Eddie Van Halen is also top 5
SRV….goat
I love watching people react to Stevie Ray! He was a blues guitar god, and the music flowed through him. Freaking brilliant! 🎸 ❤
I was privileged to see Stevie open up for Robert Plant from Zeppelin in 1988 the man was definitely in my top 3 for guitarist❤ David Wilcox is an amazing guitarist as well. Check him out. Much love from Canada guys❤🇨🇦
That was an awesome tour. I caught 3 shows on it.
You gotta give the drummer some flowers
The GOAT OF GOATS…PERIOD! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great skill, great sound, but what’s really amazing SRV is never lost. The man is his guitar
Speaking of Prince, he was playing at a Tribute for George Harrison. Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Dhani Harrison and Prince did the song My Guitar Gently Weeps. Prince’s solo was amazing.
Perfect example of how great Prince was. They should definitely react to this.
I've been playing and studying electric guitar for 30 years and Stevie is DEFINITELY top 5 all-time. Prince too FOR SURE. For me Hendrix is #1 but you could make a legit case for Stevie as #2.
Not going to argue, but I would reverse those two. I wouldn't walk out on either one.
I know Stevie himself would always put himself behind Jimi in a ranking, he was such a humble man.
@@vichraev.5386 Yeah Stevie was probably the biggest fan ever, but I think he passed the master. Jimi's family loved Stevie too. They let him use his peddle to play Voodoo Chile.
I feel people feel like Jimi has to be #1
Hold your votes til you see Roy Clark shred a guitar! Country or not, the man was easily top 5 of all time.
Sup guys! SRV is the GOAT. You have got to check out more from him. My favorite is Stevie Ray Vaughan - Lenny (Live at the El Mocambo). Life changing !. This whole show is amazing.
He's hands down my favorite! The main difference for me, is I can listen to him all day.
I’ve watched a lot of your reactions and I personally love SRV and blues. You know someone has captured your attention because this may be the first performance I can recall that you just jammed and listened to the whole thing before making notes. Y’all were just vibing the whole time. LOVE IT!
I was hooked after hearing Cold Shot. The day of his passing was the day my first daughter was born. Very bittersweet. Took ages before I could listen to his music again without sadness. Now I listen and love it !
This is awesome i'm glad to see another SRV reaction thank you so much for that. If you wanna see a performance check out SRV- Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland .That will blow your mind, trust me on that or even SRV -Texas Flood live at El Macambo that one will make you shake your head in disbelief trust me when i say that.
There are and have been so many incredible guitarists and only a very few have become huge legends in their own lifetimes legends, SRV is one of the top ranking giants of their art.
Gotta give props to Double Trouble on this. One of the best rhythm sections ever.
My favorite Stevie Ray quote: “I don’t play with a lot of finesse. I usually play like I’m breaking out of jail!”
No debate. He is the greatest. Straight up easily greatest.
Amazing, and maybe the strongest with his guitar strings of anybody. He's really laying into those metal wires.
Stevie Ray Vaughn burst on the scene and immediately was named Best Guirarist by Guitar Magazine. And again the next year. And again the next year. Then Stevie died. He is a legend.
Prince was an extremely gifted musician. A lot of instruments he mastered. But I'm from 20 miles from where SRV was from so Stevie will always be the best guitarist ever
And like others have said he probably played this a little bit different each time....depending on his mood? He is simply amazing.
The man could play a guitar behind his back.. enough said..love SRV
SRV was a pinnacle guitarist back then. His music and guitar skill still inspires so many. I used to ski at Alpine Valley back in the late 80's on one side and go to concerts on the other side of the mountain at the Alpine Valley Ampitheater. That is the same place he died. Helicopter caught in ski lift lines on takeoff where the pad was situated that day. Eric Clapton gave up his ride to Stevie so he could meet his next tour leg.
SRV - life Without You (live 1985) best performance on stage
SRV will always be #1 in my heart.
Please realize his is also playing rhythm 😮
It’s not hard to argue that SRV was the best guitarist to ever wield and electric guitar. He made that damn thing sing. I could watch this a million times.
All of that wear on his guitar HE put on it. That was his number one for a long time. A LOT of miles and gigs on that ax. He used HEAVY strings and he played that guitar HARD.
That guitar is what Stevie used to call his #1, if that thing went up for auction I bet it would go for millions, Stevie always had a few back up guitars because he would usually break a string or two in any performance, you can see a lot of his performances live here on RUclips where he’s changing out his guitar without missing a beat.
Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan were very good friends and Stevie has Jimi’s guitar strap on his guitar. Both amazing and may they RIP
Stevie Ray has several different versions of VooDoo Child out there. Each one is better than the next, if that's even possible, but they're all different and amazing and definitely worth a watch. Every one is an individual masterpiece. People talk about his performances after he got clean as some of his best. While I do agree with that, some of his performances when he was loaded were some of the best I ever witnessed.
Watching u enjoy tf outta SRV was absolutely priceless!!!! GOAT. Thank you 😊
It blows my mind every time I watch SRV live
Greatest all time. People have no idea how technical he really was. He used so many genres.
The GOAT. No one else even comes close.
Did you notice that his tremolo bar is upside down? It is a tremolo from a left handed guitar. But its not a mistake. He liked it that way, because it was easier to smack the bar down against the strings as an added effect. It was a Stevie thing. You should check out the video of him and his band doing sound checks. He walks in, grabs the guitar and just starts jamming, no warming up, no hesitation, just zero to sixty right now. Now as to the other question, who is my top 5. Im a little more eclectic than some. You asked top 5 guitarists. Not Top 5 Rock or Top 5 Blues. Those are different lists. Top 5 Guitarists all genre. 5. Stevie Ray Vaughn 4. Eric Clapton 3. Vince Gill 2. Tommy Emmanuel, 1. David Gilmour. If you asked Rock id give you 5. Randy Rhodes 4. Jeff Beck 3. Terry Kath of Chicago 2. Steve Vai 1. David Gilmour. Blues and Southern Rock would have to be 5. Buddy Guy 4. Eric Clapton 3 Gary Moore 2. Stevie Ray Vaughn 1. Dereck Trux. Those are just my own top 5. I could go on. Country, Bluegrass, Rockabilly, Jazz, Metal. But there are just too many. Of all these. Id say check out Dereck Trux and his wife Susan, Tedeschi Trux band Midnight in Harlem, Vince Gill Oklahoma Borderline, Tommy Emmanuel Initiation all live performances.
you know someone is a great guitarist when they can change volume levels while playing at the same time
IMO, Stevie is one of the most gifted guitarists of all time, especially in the blues genre. You should endeavor to listen to all of the past and current greats who describe what they thought of Stevie.
One living guitar legend, Eric Clapton was in awe of Stevie. Eric said that he had never seen a guitar player more at one with his ax than Stevie was. He said Stevie had the incredible ability to channel music from his mind and directly to his hands. Eric also said that Stevie was the only guitarist he knew that could play for very long periods of time without stopping to take a break. There is a story where Eric was invited to play in a concert that also included Stevie. Eric was the marquee player. Stevie played before Eric and when it came time for Eric to play he couldn’t bring himself to go on stage. When he was asked why he said, “How am I supposed to follow that?”
There are many of the past greatest blues players such as Albert King and B.B. King that knew and played with Stevie and who praised his awesome talent. There are youtube videos of these men telling their stories about how much they respected and admired Stevie’s other worldly talent. Albert King was one of Stevie’s most influential mentors.
There is a current blues guitarist and singer that doesn’t get enough recognition as being one of the very best blues players ever to play. That man is, Joe Bonamassa. Joe was a childhood phenom. He happened to have had the honor of sitting in with blues legend, B.B. King when he twelve years old.
Stevie Ray Vaughn is one of Joe’s idles. The late great, Gary Moore was also one of Joe’s idles.
"Texas Flood" LIVE at the El Macombo is greatest guitar performance on RUclips!!!
HE's the GOAT a guitar God!! giggle
He played those 13 gauge strings like they were rubber bands, he played so much he actually had holes in the tips of his fingers, he filled them with super glue, true fact........awesome individual very humble, and the greatest guitar player ever and always will be, watch him play live little sister and see the smoothest move ever........
SRV and his guitar "Number 1" are a holy union.
I love SRV doing this song in Nasville. That is the best performance of this song to me.
Greatest to ever do it imo
Its always subjective when asking people who's the gretest guitarist, but for me it's Stevie Ray because he can shred or make you cry, his heart & soul is in every note and he plays what he feels so every performance is unique. Prince was top tier; so is David Gilmore, Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen, and Hendrix of course. But dont forget Glen Campbell and Roy Clark, who were mostly known as country artists but were amazing on acoustic (Campbell was part of the famous group of studio artists known as the Wrecking Crew before becoming a star in his own right, and he had a gorgeous voice too). But hands down, Stevie is my #1.
The force was strong with that guy.
you need to watch the one where his guitar strings breaks and he keeps playing the song with out missing a beat and then swaps guitars without a pause in the song. Stevie the GOAT. songs "look at little sister"
Legit #1 all time, no joke.
Oh yeah my top five greatest guitarists of all time. SRV, Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Prince, Jeff Beck, Derek Trucks, Buddy Guy, on shoot that's more than five. Lol And my top five aren't in order of who I think is the greatest because I can't pick! Lol
Being a drummer, I CAN tell you my favorite drummer of all time. John Bonham. You should definitely check out Princes solo when George Harrison was inducted into the rock Hall of Fame. That will prove his guitar chops to you.
A drummer likes John Bonham? NO WAY!! lol
Why wouldn't you, really? Disliking him would be dumb!
Top guitarists are like climbing Everest, if you are there you are there, SRV did it solo with no oxygen! Twice in one day.
I lived in Dallas in the 70s and 80s and saw hime several times. one of the greatest if not the best guitarist ever. unfortunately he was killed in a helicopter crash in august of 1990. he was leaving and event where he played and perished in the crash. so sad to see such an amazing musician die so young
Prince is a hugely underappreciated and underrecognized guitarist. Watch the movie Purple Rain. It's a great movie with an amazing soundtrack that represents some of the best of Prince. I'm a 66 year old white guy who became musically aware in the early 60's with the Beach Boys, the Beatles, and Motown.
I'm 72 yrs old I a so blessed to have experienced JIMI twice in Houston Tx. AWESOME.
SRV has always been "Badass."
The prior owner of SRV'S guitar was Christopher Cross ("Sailing", 1981). SRV bought it at a shop where Cross had used it as a trade-in.
I've read that in SRV's biographies. Stevie was always going into a shop he liked and would play the guitars. When he tried this one, he wanted it. The owner of the place asked him why he wanted that old ugly beat up thing and Stevie told him it just feels right. It was his favorite from then on. It had😅 been traded in by Christopher Cross. It sure had a beautiful tone.
Gotta see the live version of Stevie Ray and Jeff Healey when Jeff was first discovered!! Crazy great!
Stevies fingers and that old guitar channeled his soul❤❤❤❤
SRV says: “Let’s GO!”
Double Trouble: “Hold my beer!”
Those guys were insanely good and didn’t just keep up, they were rocking on another level.
SRV ..Jimi Hendrix.. joe Satriani.. Steve Vai.. Jimmy Page.. Yngwie Malmsteen... BB King.. Eric Clapton.. Chuck Berry.. Eddie Van Halen.. Jeff Beck.. Carlos Santana.. Tony Iommi.. Prince.. Tom Morello.. Buddy Guy.. David Gilmour.. Angus Young and Malcolm Young.. Ritchie Blackmore... John Lee Hooker... just to name a few.. iv'e been playing for over 30 years and in my view these people are up there but Music is so diverse that there are guitarist out there for everyone... they should all be respected in their own field and what they bring to your ears. It's not about playing fast or slow or complicated or loud or smooth... it;s how it sounds to you that matters.
I’ve seen grown guitarists cry trying to learn some of his songs like Scuttle Buttin, Rude Mood, and Couldn’t Stand the Weather.
Prince My Guitar Gently Weeps, a must watch ❤
I was a child of the late 60s and 70s. Coming of age then. So many good bands and singers. Fleetwood Mack, Jimmy Hendrix, Janis Joplin. I could go on and on. The music was so good then. I am 71 now and have such good memories of the music. Some music is good now but not like then. It was a music revolution.
“Look at Little Sister” (same Austin City Limits performance)… he breaks a string and doesn’t miss a beat. Hard to tell when it happens, even in replay.
Loved your discussion on great guitarists, two that go underrated are Mark Knopfler and Brian Setzer....worth giving a listen to
💯!
FYI that is a 2nd hand guitar he's playing and belonged to recording artist Christopher Cross prior to it be given to SRV by the owner of a guitar shop in Austin TX. But SRV called it his "Number One" and his "first wife". And as intimately as he played it, you can see why he called it his wife.
The worn away varnish on his Stratocaster is 100% authentically earned
Most badass dude from my neighborhood in Dallas (Oak Cliff!).... Damn legend....
