The year before he died he did a concert in my town. Before the show he came into a pawn shop to look at guitars, something he did often, and sat down for a 20 minute jam session with a couple local muscians. Those of us who were there stood quietly in awe as this legend played. Nobody said a word, we just soaked in the sound. A moment I will never forget.
Lucky guy.
Thats a great experience to have. I saw him once live, in 1986 in Melbourne. It was a double bill with The Fabulous Thunderbirds. A great show. Jimmy came out on stage and played with his brother on couldn't Stand the Weather. I seem to remember in the encore Stevie walking back on stage with a twin necked guitar, and he squatted down and started playing, then his brother joined him, stood behind him and played on the other neck of the guitar.
Gave me chills reading this
I once played percussion and sang backup for a record store gig with Michelle Shocked, but jamming a little with Stevie in your hometown pawn shot seems a little…bigger. 😅
That’s an awesome story, pal.
When Stevie finished this song...his guitar lit up a cigarette....
Lol so cool
Nice!
I would have, too. Whoo!
The man was one of a kind.
RIP SRV..." heaven done called another blues singer back home..."
😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉 hell yeah!!!
One of the greatest guitar players to have walked the planet! He lost his life in a helicopter crash after a concert, I still remember the announcement on the radio while at work, he will forever be missed,can’t say enough about his talent
totally agree...
He is one, of the top one greatest guitars player in history. The best.
@@tr-lj2vx don't disrespect Jimi
@@rickhilde8281 Jimi wasn't a good Guitarist, he has been described as a messy player.
@@tr-lj2vx I love SRV but, to be fair, many professionals would rank others above him. It doesn't really matter and takes nothing away from his brilliance. No one player is #1 on everybody's list.
A blues icon unlike any other. A man who took the style of Hendrix and injected pure Texas desert blues with a nice dash of pure rock n' roll into it, and created a sound in the 80s that even to this day no one has ever been able to imitate or equal. Pure soul and pure feel. RIP SRV.
He had his own thing going on!
One of the greatest musicians to ever live. RIP, Stevie!
100% and the simple fact he couldn't read sheet music either
@@willdenton3451 I never understood what that has to do with anything. Not reading doesn't mean he didn't know any theory.
Dude is straight up unwillingly loving that guitar! Hope they get all the likes they deserve.
@@flogginga_dead_horse4022 i think it pushes the understanding that he felt the theory rather than knew and understood it, y'know?
The
Stevie Ray was a guitar magician. Thick-ass 13 gauge strings, playing lead and rhythm almost simultaneously. Thank you, SRV. Rest in Peace.
My son was in high school in 1993 when he told me I had to hear this outrageous guitar riff. I listened and said "Yeah. Stevie Ray Vaughn was incredible"
Son: "What do you mean was ?"
Me: "There was a helicopter crash a couple years back"
He actually got tears in his eyes - - - and listened to SRV for a solid week.
Lol u broke his heart
He was good friends with BB King and Albert King and all of the greats, and pretty much without exception they all said that Stevie was the greatest they had ever seen. Eric Clapton said it best when he said Stevie was like a conduit. He didn't play the music, but rather allowed it to flow through him. He was also extremely humble and one of the nicest people you'd ever meet. I fear we will never see another person as talented, and if we did they would undoubtedly lack the humility and grace of SRV. RIP Stevie
The best! I recommend you watch Tim Henson, guitarist for Poliphia, specifically Goat and Playing God
Danny Gatton was another guy who had mad skills but most people never heard of him because he never hit it big. Guitarists knew him though and called him The Humbler.
There are good guitar players, there are amazing guitar players, there are great guitar players, there are legendary guitar players... and then there's Stevie. And not one of those people below him would take it as an insult to be considered below him.
Love Stevie, but love Roy Buchanan just as much.
But then are!!!!!
Bla bla! Calm down bro! There are 25 guitarists better than him! Seriously, how dare you even compare him to HENDRIX, PAGE, GILMOUR, CLAPTON, BLACKMORE, SLASH, GARY MOORE, BRIAN MAY, JOHNNY WINTER, MARK KNOPFLER, AND SO MUCH OTHERS ETC, ETC.....?SO CALM DOWN! DON'T GET ME WRONG, I LOVE STEVE, BUT, PLEASE, STOP TELLING BULLSHITS LIKE THAT OK!
Couldn’t have put it better
Jeff Beck and Stevie Ray Vaughan toured together, they flipped a coin for who would open for who the first show. They alternated opening each subsequent show, respecting each other’s chops. It really was two shows, with Jeff Healey opening for the pair when I saw them. Jeff Healey, a young player showed he belonged as a young hot guitar player coming up.
Maybe listening to songs like this will help you understand why older generations have such an issue with current music. So glad to see you experiencing what drove us back then.
Excellent observation! The truth! Today's music... oftentimes lacks the passionate soul of that era's. ❤
Hardly nobody EVER picks up on just how good a singer he is because his playing is so next level. Good on you for picking up on that.
Britt, thanks for showcasing this and your reactions. Stevie is the GOAT, gone too soon, RIP Stevie
Stevie, growing up, always thought himself ugly. Socially embarrassed, he hid himself in his room, pouring his loneliness and blues into his only friend, his guitar. Even after being coaxed out of his room to grace us with his talent, he still hid behind his signature black hat.
Such a sad loss for us all.
I saw a documentary about SRV and it talked about how he viewed himself. Stevie was beautiful, inside and out. It's sad that he thought himself ugly, but danged if he didnt pour the beauty out in his guitar playing and singing.
My mentor told me he went to a SRV concert where he looked down at his guitar the whole concert.
I wouldn't say he was ugly, but he definitely had resting stank face. I guess that's an occupational hazard if you get on his level.
That black hat, was badass.
Wow thank you for that insight..i can hear him now speaking to us through his guitar.. awesome just awesome
Arguably one of the Greatest Guitarists *_OF ALL TIME !!!!!_*
A true student of the _BLUES_ who became the Professor !!!!!
RIP, Stevie
"Arguably"?!
Come on now!
What's amazing is, is that SRV would pop 13 gauge strings all the time. I tried to play 13 gauge strings once, I couldn't bend them at all and they were exhausting to hold down. This performance is what happens when all the cosmic tumblers click into place and the channel between the artists and the universe is wide open without any interference. SRV here, exists both in and outside of himself. RIP SRV. BTW Chris Layton on drums on Tommy Shannon on bass are absolute beasts.
Yeah, there are a couple of interesting videos on RUclips documenting Stevie switching out guitars in the middle of a song without missing a beat after breaking a string. The man was just an awesome performer. Whether or not he was the GOAT is really subjective but he is most certainly up there with them. A lot of his contemporaries certainly thought very highly of his skill. Agree about Double Trouble being beasts and when Reese Wynan joins with his keyboard artistry it's pretty magical.
For non guitar players, 13 gauge strings are very thick and fairly difficult to play
Every time he played one of my acoustic guitars he had to be careful as I never ran heavy strings like he did. One of my best memories from my time in Dallas was jamming with him and Boz Skaggs out by my pool until the sun came up. That was in the early mid '70's but it is one of my treasured memories.
@@tonyharmon8512 sure.......
He tunes down to make bending those heavy strings less taxing.
This is the first time I've heard Stevie's voice called "delicious" and I can't agree with you more!
As for the El Mocambo - affectionately known as the "Elmo" by us Torontonians - was a small venue, seating about 400 that was an old haunt of mine back in the 70's & 80's. They had incredible bands that were just about to explode on the music scene - Cheap Trick, Blondie, Meatloaf, Tom Waits, U2, Elvis Costello, Joan Jett, Ramones.....and so many more. Think the biggest band that played there (1977?) was a one-nighter with The Rolling Stones, advertised as The Cockroaches. No one had a clue they were the Stones!
Absolute Legend. If anyone ever earned and deserves his place as a legend in music history it is Stevie Ray Vaughan. Everyone liked Stevie and most loved him. He was actually a quiet, kind and humble man. Never bragged about his playing. He said his talent was a gift from God and that he worked hard to pay it back. Paid In Full, Stevie. Paid in Full.
I believe that he wouldn’t have reached such greatness if he wasn’t as humble as he was.
His strings don't break because they are impossibly thick. Most guitarists could not even play with his strings. His hands were sooooo strong. G.O.A.T.
He would break a high E once in awhile
Not only would be break them, there's a video of him breaking one at Austin City Limits and switching guitars seamlessly mid-song.
Not the GOAT but I appreciate your effort. Danny Gatton is the only player ever born to be labeled by other guitarists as The Humbler. The only player born to have a movie made about him.
@@RCHeath Good, great, GOAT. All subjective really. I have listened to your boy Danny many times and I do not see it. Heart is hard to define but yet distinguishes great from GOAT's. 230 years ago Mozart died yet we still listen in awe. Do you suppose there were others lost to history (except classical music nerds like me) that were insanely good over the last 200 years? Of course there were. Why does Mozart still rule? Heart.
He and his brother Jimmie grew up in South Dallas (Oak Cliff).... he is buried there.... He cut his chops in the music scenes of Dallas and Austin.... A true Texas hero.
Glad I am old enough to have been blessed to have seen him live with BB KIng , Joe Cocker and Irma Thomas at the Benson & Hedges Blues Festival in Dallas right before he was taken from us. A concert I will never forget
There was a smile on my face seeing how you reacted right from the start. Knowing what was to come later in song. Britt, if there was a rabbit hole to go down, It's SRV. Loved it and great reaction.
Neuroscience has proven it’s physically impossible to listen to SRV without making a stank face.
The “warping” is done with a whammy bar that bends the strings & lets you do all kinds of musical effects.
The reason his strings don’t break is that Stevie used notoriously thick, heavy strings which made the guitar even harder to play, but helps give him that insanely rich sound.
No, this isn’t shredding, which is just showing off. This is the real deal.
Shredding versus playing. Yes! Van Halen was a shredder. Didn't have soul. Vaughn was a guitar player. A maestro. He had soul.
@@Just1Bum I can’t understand why people feel like they have to hate on one player if they like the other. They’re both great guitar players in their own way. There’s plenty of room in this world for more than one musician, and there’s plenty of room in this world for more than one approach to the instrument and music in general. I like them both.
So glad you watched this song and felt it. I'm lucky enough to have seen him play live in May of 1990. Still one of the most amazing things I've witnessed on stage. I remember that my buddy and I sat there awestruck after the lights came up, trying to digest what just happened.
You lucky bastard.🤘
New subscriber. Croatia. Not only is this one of the most amazing guitar performances I've ever heard...but you can tell Britt has her very own, singular and unusual yet quiet and listening, passion for music.
I have hoped to see your reaction to SRV. He is my personal all time favorite!!!! The rabbit hole is deep!!!! Hoping for more!! Maybe Life Without You live from the Capitol Theater!!!!!!
Stevie is the GOAT and there will never be another like him. His voice has been described as "Honey poured over gravel".
Hi Britt. Stevie did break a lot of strings lol. In fact there are vids on YT of him playing live and a string pops. He keeps playing and his guitar tech (who was also the best in the biz) comes out with another guitar and they swap them out without missing a beat. BB King had an almost father/son relationship. BB used to tell folks that he was Stevie's godfather. There was a TV special that had all the best guitar players around on. I think (if I remember correctly) SRV was touring or something and missed the show. So all these other guys are on stage. BB, Albert King, Eric Clapton and many more. They were asked (kind of jokingly) OK guys who is the best guitar player around today? Nobody said anything until BB said "Well Stevie is doing some interesting things". Every one of them said yeah Stevie is probably the one. BB has also said that SRV was better than Jimi Hendrix. Huge loss when he passed.
Your reaction, is the reason why his departure from this world, was so heartbreaking to us SRV fans. He had just started living in the light for himself and cleaned himself up and was living .....after several years of living in the darkness of addiction. Then was killed in a helicopter crash on August 27, 1990.
Lost my favorite guitar hero! I truly still choke up listening to him shred!
I've got everything that he's played on ! He was David Bowie's guitar player for a bit!
the warp is just him bending the strings super hard with his fingers. absolute magician. fucking legend.
"I always said playing the blues was like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray missed on both counts, but I never noticed." -B.B. King
Absolutely cool.. say it!
Always great to see todays young people discover Stevie Ray Vaughn. He was the greatest and taken for the world far too soon. R.I.P. Stevie!
SRV & Prince are two men who could almost "speak" better through their guitars - like the guitar was a part of their bodies. The voice is fantastic, too. RIP to both. Lost too soon.
I love watching people discover Stevie for the first time. I met Stevie for the first time when we were both kids in Austin in 1978 or 1979. I was going to UT, and he was playing the club scene in Austin 7 nights a week and slept on pool tables with his brother Jimmy. I last saw Stevie in LA at the Greek Theater about 5 days before he passed. Music hasn't been the same since.
The best guitarist EVER in my opinion, then he hits you with those vocals. I LOVE watching peoples faces and reactions the first time they hear and watch Stevie, yours is a delight! I remember the day he died in that crash, I cried and realized what a loss. Not only was he talented beyond belief, but he was a good humble person. SRV, a LEGEND.
As was mentioned below, Stevie was killed in a helicopter crash 1990 at age 35. I guess God let us enjoy his talent for but a little while but He needed Stevie for HIS band!
He is considered by many people to be the greatest getarist that ever lived
I'm one of those people.
I definitely consider him to be the best of all time. Such a shame he is gone.
@@barbarascotto3873 I too am one of those people :)
without a doubt
I’m also one of those people
Stevie was one of the very best guitar players.. he felt every note on the neck.🔥🔥
Anyone that has never heard SRV never expects the voice that comes out of him. The man had more soul in his fingernail clippings than I've ever heard from anyone else in the blues genre. And he mostly used his his guitar to express it. Every note that came out of his instrument was a whole verse, in itself.
Watching people react to SRV is precious. Elizabeth aka the Charismatic voice reacted just like you - giggles, goose bumps and whoops too (a different live version of the same tune). What a gorgeous reaction to witness. His records will forever be in circulation wherever I am at. Such a gifted guitarist, singer, and performer. He was a conduit, a channel who knew perfectly well enough to be continually inventive and fresh, indeed - giving the impression of endless creative flow. He was heavily influenced by Albert King, Jimi Hendrix, Kenny Burrell, Hound Dog Taylor, T-Bone Walker and many others, and whilst he can quote them at ease, he fused everything into his own inimitable voice - one note and you know it's him, like BB King, Albert Collins, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Johnson and so many other unique guitar voices. You made many an astute observation Britt. New subscriber BTW 👌
🎸🎸🎸🎼🎸🎸🎸 .. you just watched the best guitarist of all time Britt. Stevie Ray Vaughn was on another level, AND he was a master of blues singing. Check out "Lenny" or "Pride And Joy" . Thanks for sharing this one. 💔🎸💔🎸💔🎸
Finally, someone gives SRV credit for his singing! Now, he's no Chris Cornell but singing with soul is still hard to get across to the audience, unless it lives in you! So, Thanks! Also...Let me expand...The other reason Stevie is impressive, besides the obvious guitar talent/soul in his playing, is that Stevie's lightest gauge string (high E string or on the bottom when looking at the video) is the SAME size as every other guitar player's SECOND String (on string above in video). So, if his first string is really a second string/is others' guitarists second string, you can imagine how much thicker the other strings (B,G,D,A,E) above that are. In fact, he played a 0.56 gauge low E string, when most players use a 0.46 for their low E. I've even read where he played 0.60 on the low E (top string in the video). So, he's bending literal wires instead of strings like this...with SOUL! Well, maybe the 'wire" thing is a lil over the top, but you get the point! SRV is the man, and one of my heroes!! Boy, how we need him in today's times too!! Great video!!😁
Great reaction! Stevie was brainmeltingly good. Funny you should mention BB King - SRV played with BB. Stevie had such great respect for the elder Bluesmen who came before him.
You really should check out SRV and Johnny Copeland doing “Tin Pan Alley.” It is a masterclass. I’ll also suggest “Mary Had a Little Lamb” and “Look at Little Sister” from Austin City Limits. Oh, and “Little Wing” from this concert - no vocals but it’s a beautiful performance. Stevie was mesmerizing.
SRV is a Guitar Monster!! And aGod of The Blues all at the same time!! When we talk about how crappy the newer music is, now you know why we say that. RIP SRV Gone since 1991.
Great reaction! Stevie has a lot of out of this world performances, he is always better live! Tragically, he was killed in a helicopter crash in August of ‘90, he had just performed with Eric Clapton and Buddy Guy. To me he’s the GOAT, but music is very personal to people, some may disagree and I can certainly understand. You should definitely check out more of this performance, like his version of Voodoo Child. ✌️❤️🎸
Many people have mentioned just how cool his hat is. And believe it! He was a hundred times cooler. Lot's of folks said he was a pleasure to just sit and shoot the shit with. It hurts to think of the music lost when he left us. One of the greats dat can't be replaced! I bet he's teaching angles how to sing and play
You should check out ‘Lenny’ from this same El Macambo concert he did, it’s a love song he wrote for his wife that he did in one night after she bought him a guitar he wanted when he was still coming up & couldn’t afford it, it’s beautiful
B.B. King used to say "You have to be black twice to sing the blues but he never noticed with SRV." I was lucky enough to see him live at the capitol theater in Passaic NJ, 1985. The song that will for ever stick in my mind was "With out you".
David Bowie (you will eventually get to him as well) saw SRV playing at a small festival and had him play on China Girl, Let's Dance and Putting out the fire. He begged Stevie to join his band but he refused wanting to play his own music.
The record company offered Stevie a deal but they didn't want Double Trouble. Stevie turned 'em down flat. Took a few years but eventually he couldn't be ignored any longer and he got that contract with Double Trouble along for the ride.
Why wait, the PDC needs to happen literally at the beginning, middle, or end to any SRV song. The guy was a got-damn genius on guitar. Stevie Ray Vaughan's main guitar was a 1963 Fender Stratocaster nicknamed "Number One" or "First Wife". This guitar was his favorite and most frequently played instrument throughout his career. That's all ya need to know.
Please react to Stevie's Life Without You, live in New Jersey. His live performances are incredible!
One thing that nobody ever recognizes is the band. They just keep the back fill going, even changing the tempo to satisfy STV guitar tangents.
There's a reason that all of the great blues artists of the day wanted to collaborate with him. He played many times with BB King, Albert King, Johnny Copeland, Etta James, Paul Butterfield just to name a very few. Dude was a wizard!!!
The most impressive was probably Albert king cuz he didn't work with nobody
@@josemadera3138 Jimmy Vaughn, SRV's big brother, has a story about that.
Saw him share the stage with Jeff Beck. A surreal experience.
@@rickroybal7022 Cool. Where and when was that?
@@maninthemiddle55 That was McNichols (Big Mac) arena in Denver, Feb. 1989. In Step was just released. Jeff Beck had just released "Guitar Shop." They encored together with fiery solos with Jeff's "Goin Down." I was awestruck. They are missed.
As a long time SRV lover, I watch alot of reaction vids to this performance. Everyone reacts differently to different parts, the playing, the singing, the “spin”. I really enjoyed yours. I hope you continue to explore his catalog. You’ll find many other great artists who, not only played with him, but those who influenced his art. Safe travels. God bless 💙
You’ve just experienced one of the greatest guitar players of all time. He also did this song with BB King. Stevie is the GOAT in my opinion.
Like Robin Williams, who was a master of improve so it was with SRV. The structure of this song, or his others, would be solid but each night it's played different with little things added here and there. He flowed like no other. Also, hard to believe but for the most part SRV comprised of only a trio but they filled up all that space so well. Such a loss but so thankful for what he did while with us. Now a whole new generation gets to experience this immense talent.
This song is an epitome of what everything blues is about, a relationship gone bad, his heart in turmoil, his guitar crying, in pain, confused and then angry. But realizes what she has done to him, putting the relationship behind him as he put the guitar behind him. Leaving her brought him relief. Stevie didn't plan this out, he played this song from his heart and guts as one with his instrument.
It just happens to be the greatest performance by any musician ever recorded. Said by many great musicians any instrument. Also said by me. This is a lot deeper than many perceive. This song brings me sad tears, mad emotions, and some relief every time I hear it. I feel it...
Only time I ever saw him in concert was about 3 months before he was killed. I had considered studying for my college finals that night and hopefully just see him at a later date. I'm so glad I didn't waste what turned out to be the only opportunity I'd ever have to see him. He was taken way too soon. Just a true blues virtuoso.
This man does a Haunting instrumental song "Riviera Paradise". I mean light the candles, the incense, the mood lights and just listen to him play his guitar. It's beautiful
Yes! It’s entrancing! Just gorgeous.
I stopped watching when 44 retired.
You will never hear anyone play guitar like Stevie Ray. He definitely had a gift from God. The music came from his soul. His style was based in the blues. He was truly gifted. Definitely listen to his live music, it has so much more soul. You should definitely watch him with Albert King.
If you ever get a chance watch the tribute to SRV. Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, BB King, Bonnie Raitt, just to name a few are on there performing and talking about how amazing he was. Truly of of the all time greats if not the GOAT.
Stevie at El Mocambo is possibly the greatest live blues recording of all time.
The "slowing down warp sound" is from using a tremolo bar. As for popping strings he used 13 gauge strings. Most guitars use 9 or 10 and 12 or 13 on a acoustic
Guitarist joke.
Q: How many guitar players does it take to cover a SRV song?
A: all of us
Thanks. Didn't know it was called a tremolo bar. Knew he used heavy strings but not the gauge. The joke is good too. Well done
@@Peter-oh3hc that is the technical name. Most people call it a whammy bar. I call it a knock my guitar out of tune bar. 🤣
@@farfromperfek I thought so. I play a little acoustic guitar. Have you ever seen Tommy Emmanuel play Classical Gas? he sometimes bends the neck of his acoustic to get that effect
@@Peter-oh3hc I have he is amazing.
I think it's the albert king double bends
SRV is on my guitar Mt Rushmore along with Eddie Van Halen, David Gilmour, and Jimi. Stevie is the kind of blues artist that gives you permanent Stankface. There will NEVER be another as talented as Stevie.
Legend has it, there is a Crossroads where musicians go to make a deal with the Devil, and SRV is said to have gone there once.
Nobody knows what Stevie got, but it's widely believed that the Devil got guitar lessons. 🤘😎🤘
Robert Johnson sold his soul to the Devil but Stevie Ray made the Devil his b*tch and said, "get in this guitar and make whatever sounds I can imagine when I summon you."
Kick that legend to the curb. Though the Devil is always looking to make a deal, it's never a fair one. He's wickedly transactional and manipulative, whereas God is not. The Heavenly Father gives freely out of His goodness, hoping for us and helping us to make the most of what He gives. And you can see an example of God's generosity in Stevie Ray Vaughan. It goes beyond the natural talent, beyond the physical capacity, beyond the intuitive senses given Stevie and far beyond the open channel to develop and display those amazing gifts. The Lord helped SRV understand and avail himself of the strength to overcome his early exposure to alcohol and drugs and the music scene's reinforcement of the addictions that had taken hold. And more, beyond that! In his humility, Stevie Ray... at the foot of the Cross... was given a much greater Gift at the foot of the Cross, which even Death by helicopter could not rob.
Warping sound is him dipping the tremolo bar. If you check out the live version of "Tin Pan Alley", youle see just how much the man is sweating on stage. Absolutely insane.
If I had listened to my buddy back in the day, I would have been at the El Mocamba in Toronto to see this show. Problem was, I was not able, at the time, to appreciate the genius of Stevie Ray Vaughan. I'd never get another chance.
To the kids out there, drop the stupid in your life as soon as you can.
You have a great channel Brit. seen a lot of different styles on your channel and giving the Blues genre a spotlight speaks volume of your great taste. Stevie lived & breathed every form of blues, from its very roots to eventually revitalizing the entire genre himself when he exploded onto the mainstream conscienceness.
Girl. Your reactions are EPIC! You are becoming the BEST reactor on RUclips!!!!! Keep it up!!!!
He was a very humble man. There are videos out there of him playing with some blues legends, so so good. I saw him at an outdoor concert when he played this song.
Stevie was 0% talent & 10,000% genius, no one like him before or since...even a lot of punk rockers in the 80’s who detested the long, self-indulgent solos of the rock bands loved stevie because he was real....he didnt the play guitar, it played him, he was the Zues of the guitar gods, ...but really, he was just a true blues genius....lastly, every time someone reacts to this i love how they are totally jaw dropped only about a minute into the song, lol...great reaction
John mayer described his voice as “liked gravel with honey poured on top”
A philosopher once said Talent hits the target no one else can hit. Genius hits the target no one else can see. This applies to our guy🎸🎶💙‼️
Loved your reaction🙌👏‼️. BB King once said that he (BB) plays the blues in sentences and sometimes has to stop and think of what else to say to keep the conversation going but that Stevie played the blues in sentences and never ran out of things to say. This song is a great example of that. He has an incredible body of work to explore that will delight you. For more vocals check out "Aint Gone 'N' Give Up On Love" from the Capitol Theatre 1985. It is a soulful bluesy tune that Stevie wrote and I know you will love it🎸🎶💙
@@harrietmiller3982 wow, thats amazing, thanks for that, im 46 & ive never heard that one...im fond of saying “talent borrows, genius steals” but, wow, your quote is amazing...& of course its fitting here...wow, great, and yes
@@harrietmiller3982 i think ur quote is my new preferred quote about genius, lol...its fire & so true
I remember hearing David Bowie's "Let's Dance" album for the first time and the guitar was amazing. Soon after, Stevie Ray hit the airwaves with his first successful release, and I KNEW that I had heard that guitar before.
It was a sad day in my life when the helicopter crashed.
Watch his live performance of Life Without You live at the Capital Theatre. That's beautiful and mind-blowing at the same time
Agree ... certainly one of my favorites!
A true American treasure! RIP Stevie. When I listen to him I still am only about 10 seconds from "stank" face.
So glad you found Stevie Ray Vaughan undoubtedly one of the best guitar 🎸 players ever, his blues sound is like no other. 😊👍
I just love your reaction, Stevie had this reaction from first time listeners all the time. Double trouble was a great backing band, they could follow him at any speed he wanted to go. When you mentioned he was making love to his guitar, I'v often heard when he was done playing, the guitar walked bow legged, and was looking for a smoke.
He was one of the BEST. RIP 🙏 STEVIE. His brother plays the hell out of a guitar too
Loved your reaction Britt ... Stevie has that effect on people.
He has a wonderful catalog of live material out there.
Never disappoints.
He's fun to listen to, but as you now know, is great to watch him work!
Can't change God's Plan - but SRV left us too soon ...
RIP.
The lord took Stevie from us because he was too powerful.
Also, he wanted guitar lessons.
@@TheLastGarou LOLOL...From the best!!
His voice is showcased on "Ain't Gonna Give Up on Love" A song he wrote, LIVE video at the Capital Theatre. And always on his playlist. He ranges from soft blues to growling and testifying about love. The guitar solo is received with applause and he gives a little smile in acknowledgement.
He was a compelling musician and man.
They say that the spring rains here in Texas is her crying for her lost sons. The years when it floods is when she has been listening to Stevie on the wind.
Stevie single handedly made the blues popular again in the 80’s. As you can hear, he was a master of his instrument. It’s hard to imagine anything better being wrung out of a battered old strat.
As a beginning guitar player, I got to see SRV live about a year before he died. Later, when I was playing in bar bands, I was totally SRV inspired (although not nearly as good). He was an amazing talent taken from us way too soon!
7:31 Stevie Ray is flexing the neck of the guitar, and working the strings at the same time to produce that sound. He will always be my guitar hero. This August will mark 33 years since his helicopter crash in Wisconsin.
He throws it behind the back and never stops never miss a beat
The supporting cast in this play are in perfect sync with this master and provide just the right amount of shading here n there...these guys are totally awesome together...Ty dear for this
Don't forget, his bass player learned his craft behind the great Johnny Winter.
Master Class Performer. No one else like him, before or since. Soul to his toes
I don't comment much, but. I love the fact that she absolutely gets it. Her description is perfect (exhausting, that poor guitar, etc.). That guitar is unplayable.. he literally played it to death. There was also a piece of scaffolding at a show that fell and smashed his guitars, and almost his guitar tech.
It is so fun to watch people see Stevie for the first time and we remember what it was like the first time he made us feel that way.
We in Austin loved this man. A statue was built of him out next to Town Lake. We know it was a serious Texas flood when Stevie's feet get wet.
I love your reaction to this performance. You caught everything, and analyzed it perfectly. Stevie's amazing natural gift for guitar was so absolutely incredible as to almost be indescribable. It's as if he simply thought a note or phrase in his mind, and it just emerged out of his amplifier's speakers, as if his guitar just becomes an organic part of his body. And no, that's not shredding. That's organized melodic magic. Shredding is just fast, loud, and distorted, but not usually the least bit musical.
RIP, Stevie! SRV was and continues to be one of the greatest guitar players of all time! I absolutely love your reaction! It made me remember how I felt the first time I experienced SRV. I was crying with laughter at your reaction. I found myself waiting with anticipation to see what your next reaction would be! Great reaction!!
You recognized what I always felt listening to him live -- he was a conduit from some inexpressibly beautiful center in the universe to the rest of us normal humans. It just flowed through him to us -- I can't explain it any other way
He’s one of those guitarists I put under the category of “panty dropper.” And could sing.
Great soul and feel. Had the strongest hands in the game.
I'm forever grateful I had the honor of seeing him live, there isn't much that describe how freaking awesome that was.
So, as a huge BB King and SRV fan, BB would be the first to tell you that he couldn't fly at this level. SRV was on a level of his own, and I will always admire his achievements along with so many others.
Até hoje não apareceu ninguém que chegasse perto do talento deste cara!
Meu favorito e de milhões!!!
Stevie was legendary and the ultimate blues guitarist, this is a showstopping performance for sure.....loved your reaction, you mentioned he was making live to the guitar, well if you want to really see a fine example of just that (not literally of course) then you should definitely check out "Tender Surrender" by the incredible Steve Vai...... it's phenomenal... thanks for your great analysis and spirit.
SRV is playing, what he called his guitar, 'number 1' OR his 'First Wife'.
He had played with B. B. King and B.B. King played at his tribute, among many others.
RIP, Stevie
Stevie was a Blues Musician that Revered Jimi Hendrix, Joe Satriani & SRV both Cite "Red House" off The Smash Hits by Hendrix as a Classic. Stevie Heard the Early Blues influences in Jimi Hendrix like Field Hollerers in "Machine Gun" Live at the Filmore East. I hear alot of Albert king influence in Stevie. Blues mostly uses the 5 Tone Minor & Major Pentatonic Scale, Stevie quit drinking and grew to use more Chords & Notes before he died, "Riviera Paradise" is Evidence he was Growing. Joe Satriani "Made of Tears," live 2006, Peter Frampton "Lines on my Face," Jake E Lee "Guitar Solo" live in Kansas City and "Killer of Giants," Lindsey Buckingham "Big Love & Go Insane," Eric Johnson "Trademark" Al Di meola "Race with the Devil on a Spanish Highway, Alien Chase on an Arabian Desert & Lady of Rome - Sister of Brazil," Ritchie Blackmore with Deep Purple "Highway Star," John McLaughlin, George Benson & Wes Montgomery said "A Guitarist would have to be a Poor Musician to not hear where Charlie Christian was going or Saying." Yngwie Malmsteen is a Great Guitarist that stated in Guitar Player Magazine "I consider Jimi Hendrix cover of Bob Dylans "All along The Watchtower" his best Guitar work, Eddie Van Halen Agreed. A few tunes to hear that Guitar Players Love. "Moonflower & Song of the Wind" by Carlos Santana are great tunes to Jam along with. To bad Stevie died, He was building off the Blues.
SVR is one of the best 🎸 players... he's one with the 🎸‼️ Players like Jeff Beck, SVR, don't need to sing ... their 🎸sing 👍‼️
Check out Jeff Beck
His voice had been described as gravel covered in honey. I’ve watched countless first reaction videos to SRV and they are all the same. What you’ve witnessed is blues exorcism. I don’t mean that in a demonic way. He played like a man possessed by the spirits of every legendary blues guitarist you can think of. You don’t listen to his music, you live the experience. His wife said that Stevie would have dreams of Jimi Hendrix and his fingers would move as if he’s playing AND HE IS SOUND ASLEEP!!! SRV takes you on a spiritual journey through music. Good to see you young-in’s appreciate a style of music that has been overlooked for a long time. (BTW, don’t forget to breathe because his music has been know to cause shortness of breath)
