There’s not enough adjective to describe Stevie Ray Vaughan. He took the guitar to whole different level at a time when everyone was following Eddie Van Halen. I was devastated when he passed away. True king.
I will never forget pulling into Ralph's supermarket on the corner of Topanga and Ventura Blvd. In the San Fernando Valley and just sitting in my car devastated.
@@thetattooedvaper4081 Similar story here. Had just gotten to work when I heard the tragic news on the radio. Sat stunned in my car for awhile, trying to hold back the tears (unsuccessfully), and went into work late, didn't care.
@@JennyJohn50 I live in Wisconsin and my friends and I were at his last show in alpine valley. We couldn't believe it when we heard on TV that his helicopter had crashed shortly after his set. I think we all were stunned for days after that. To me he is still one of the best guitar players of all time.
if Stevie did an album of nursery rhymes i'd be first in line for a copy, that man had the midas touch! u r right about his vocals, very underrated. another studio track i always loved from SRV is Couldn't Stand the Weather.
Second here! Couldn’t stand the weather is probably my favourite SRV song. Also another great performance is the ”Look at little sister” live in Austin -89. In the performance is a act that will make anyones jaw drop!
OR… just take out “one of” and “blues” and you are left with the greatest guitarist ever! That’s all a matter of opinion of course, but I don’t think anyone will ever beat him.
Stevie's mastery of the instrument was epic. His ability to mute strings paired with his right hand abilities resulted in him playing lead and rhythm simultaneously. It's always best to see him live to really appreciate what's happening. RIP SRV.
Love that you guys are reacting to Stevie. His live performances ALWAYS outweigh his studio recordings though. He's probably the most passionate guitar player I've ever seen next to Hendrix, Gary Moore, or John Frusciante. Just so wild to see him improvise every performance on the spot with such intense passion.
Only Stevie could pull off walking into his Label and say that he wanted to do a blues version of a children's nursery rhyme and get the OK to do it!!! R.I.P SRV
I learned to play this song on the guitar along the way and it's always been one of my favorites. I had backyard chickens for a while and I would sing them to sleep every night then sometimes I would sing this song. How fun to take a nursery rhyme that we all know and make it the very slick and Polished blues-rock song. He was just so damn good.
Stevie's CD Family Style was released a few years before my own brother was lost to a motorcycle accident. It's one of my favorite CD's from Stevie Ray Vaughn paired with his older brother Jimmie and was his last studio recording before his death. My brother was also named Jimie - I listen to it a lot and it makes me think of my brother when I hear it. Lot of good tracks on it, Hard to Be, Tick Tock, Brothers. Solid as you would expect, you guys should check that one out sometime.
Right on Brad! Blues rule. Please check out Colin James "Why'd you Lie" for a great blues guitarist. He toured with Stevie in the 80's and is now on the road with the great Buddy Guy
Hey guys what's up! Greetings from South Florida! Stevie Ray Vaughan is such an awesome Talent! I've only cried two times in my life when famous people died. Steve Irwin the Crocodile Hunter was one. And Stevie Ray Vaughan I don't know exactly why I cried, but I cried like a little baby. You guys rock! God bless you! Peace!
Believe or not that was one guitar in one sitting. He always sounds like it’s two guitar players. His best stuff is live! Do the live version of this song in Austin. He takes it to another level. G. O. A. T.!!!
School is in the original nursery rhyme. Mary had a little lamb it's fleece was white as snow and everywhere that Mary went the lamb was sure to go It followed her to school one day which was quite against the rules. It made the children laugh and play to see a lamb at school.
Brad, if you really want SRV in a true Blues setting, watch him play “Don’t Fall for Me, Baby”, with his brother on harmonica, and Angela Strehli singing. Incredible Blues song.
It counts as a cover of Buddy Guy as he did this first in the late 60's. Stevie also covered Buddy's song The Things I Used To Do. ruclips.net/video/R_xEEu6Uyt4/видео.html
The LIVE version of this song(Austin City Limits)is nearly good as Texas Flood at El Macombo! In the LIVE version he plays 3 completely different styles, & shreds the hell out of that lightning bolt he played!
With SRV you always AAAAAALWAYS see him LIVE. you only get to experience half of a song. His performances add sprinkles and chocolate syrup with nuts to a plain vanilla ice cream.
SRV ,life without you ,capitol theater NJ ! IT'S A MUST SEE ! Breaks strings,guitar swap breaks a tooth ,adjust amps,powerful message,brilliant performance!
Actually Paul McCartney did a 'Mary had a little lamb' single after the birth of his daughter Mary in the early 70s. It sounded more like the original nursery rhyme though.
@@phillipharrison2836 Yes, but I never listen to the one by Paul McCartney. Whereas when SRV did it, I want to listen to it. That's my point. It's not that other people haven't done nursery rhymes, it's that only SRV made it a 'must listen' experience..
I love you guys so much... but I'm not gonna lie, my favorite times are when you react to SRV!!!!!!!!!!! 💙💙💙 Also lovin' it so much that Brad said he's "feeling the blues"!!!!!!!
That side track about the 'sound' of the music and how different set ups will allow the listener to hear the songs in ways never heard before, was spot on. Many reactors would experience the music they listen to in a completely different way if they were to invest in a better {not so much more expensive, because you can get a really good pair without spending a ton of cash} set of headphones or speakers/monitors.
On the topic of covering traditional songs/rhymes, and for those who don't know, which is most, the Dave Steffan Band did a great rendition of Tex Ritter's Froggie Went a Coutrin'. They were well-known musicians amongst other musicians and often played a small bar in the SF Bay Area where I worked in the early '90s. Link: ruclips.net/video/cG5YYrUIBbQ/видео.html
Yes, Brad has it right. Sound quality, if it's bad can RUIN a good song. I was blessed with growing up listening to music through very high quality sound systems. When hearing great songs through poor or even mediocre systems or headphones, it's like trying to enjoy a beautiful flower garden in the rain, and color blind.
Of course everyone knows the little kids' versions of these songs. The arrangement upon which they hang is from Buddy Guy, rendered during his tenure at Chess Records in Chicago around the mid 1960s. There is a video available on YT of Guy and SRV shaking it up together, at Guy's nightclub, Legends in Chicago, where Vaughan was the only big name to show for Buddy's birthday one year.
Mary Had A Little Lamb is a Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme. It does Say The lamb followed her to school one day and it was against the rules. It wasnt anything creepy
One of the most enjoyable things I have ever done is go out to eat at a blues bar. Eating and drinking with friends while a live band is playing the blues is just awesome. Ya should go to BB Kings to eat since you live in Florida. They play really good live blues.

You gotta check out Look at little sister live. One of the best live performances ever. I dont want to give away what happens but it will blow your mind.
You can't just hear Stevie play this, you've got to SEE him play it on Austin City Limits live! Wish you'd do that, we'd love a redo!💙☮
Yeah the live version is much grittier! In the live version he doesn't say the fleece was white as snow he says it's black is Cole!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DAMN RIGHT

100% agree ❤ I still cry he's gone...

His version of this at Austin City Limits LIVE is much better than the Studio version
Definitely, Y'all should do live versions. This studio version just doesn't capture SRV. You must see him live.
SRV & Double Trouble is about the only performer-band where virtually all of his/their songs are better live than are the studio versions!!!
DAMN RIGHT
That's exactly what I was going to say but to get the amazing Stevie Ray feel you HAVE TO do live.
@@jdbroders64 his version from Live Alive which I think was Montreaux Jazz Festival was way ahead of this version. This is tame by comparison!

@@eliaskarppi5408 no doubt that was Stevie's specialty, leaving jaws on the floor whenever and wherever he performed!!!! LEGEND
Found myself agreeing with Brad on every point in his discussion after the song! I think blues has the best lead guitar, too!
Stevie Ray Vaughan, is the greatest guitarist that ever lived
OR… just take out “one of” and “blues” and you are left with the greatest guitarist ever! That’s all a matter of opinion of course, but I don’t think anyone will ever beat him.
@@markoehler2752 Yes, yes, and yes!
"One of".....LOL
SRV (RIP I cried when he died) studio is solid blues - awesome! SRV live - another level of bliss that God gives every now and then.
Same, I was driving , on the radio they said he died. He is greatly missed.
Stevie's mastery of the instrument was epic. His ability to mute strings paired with his right hand abilities resulted in him playing lead and rhythm simultaneously. It's always best to see him live to really appreciate what's happening. RIP SRV.
You guys should react to…
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Pride and Joy
🎸🤘
Along with Little Sister and Voodoo Child.
@@NYVoice hey hey momma look at little sister in the backyard 😂 love that song
And the sky is crying 👍👍👍
LIVE PLEASE
Love Struck Baby
A song that keeps coming back to me once in a while is Life By The Drop by SRV. Hits me every time.
YES SIR!! Great song!
All time favorite SRV tune!!!!
You got it completely right, Brad. And SRV’s got just about the best solos in Blues!
Best of The Best!!!
Brad & Lex, his "Pride And Joy" and "Cold Shot" are next for you!
As long as he’s playing guitar, the song could be about anything. I’d listen to him describe paint drying if there’s a solo.
Ah man, I was gonna say the same kinda thing. Except I was gonna use something like "singing directions for assembling a bookcase" 😂
Or watching grass grow. You are so correct!
Yay! Stevie Ray Vaughan made Brad smile! SRV does that to a lot of us, but I'd still prefer to watch his live performances. RIP SRV.
Love that you guys are reacting to Stevie. His live performances ALWAYS outweigh his studio recordings though. He's probably the most passionate guitar player I've ever seen next to Hendrix, Gary Moore, or John Frusciante. Just so wild to see him improvise every performance on the spot with such intense passion.
RIP-SRV. seen Jimmy Vaughan a few years back and I enjoyed his performance. Rock on Brad & Lex
I saw Jimmy Lee with the Fabulous Thunderbirds..
Great Show 😊👍
Man, that flow always gives me chills.
Gotta do SRV LIVE!!! It's why Stevie wasn't bigger in the 80s;If RUclips was around EVERYONE would have acknowledged the SRV was GOAT!
Do… “Can’t you see” by The Marshall Tucker Band. It is an all time great.
ROBIN TROWER 🦅 Day Of The Eagle
Only Stevie could pull off walking into his Label and say that he wanted to do a blues version of a children's nursery rhyme and get the OK to do it!!! R.I.P SRV
Look At Little Sister by SRV makes me wanna get up & dance. Really fun! 😊❤ Thanks For the Fun Reactions! Love Y'all!
The one and only Stevie Ray ....... !!!!
I learned to play this song on the guitar along the way and it's always been one of my favorites. I had backyard chickens for a while and I would sing them to sleep every night then sometimes I would sing this song. How fun to take a nursery rhyme that we all know and make it the very slick and Polished blues-rock song. He was just so damn good.
This man could sing and play the phone book and sell a million copies
U need to see more live videos of him :)

Brad, your smile during the whole song says it all. Lex gave us the stank face!!! Great reaction!!
I have always thought it was incredible, that he could do this with a simple nursery rhyme, my favorite Stevie song, off his first album PRIDE & JOY.
Right on Brad! Blues rule. Please check out Colin James "Why'd you Lie" for a great blues guitarist. He toured with Stevie in the 80's and is now on the road with the great Buddy Guy
Hey guys what's up! Greetings from South Florida! Stevie Ray Vaughan is such an awesome Talent! I've only cried two times in my life when famous people died. Steve Irwin the Crocodile Hunter was one.

Any SRV needs to be live. His studio is nice. His live is life changing. The studio just can't capture this man's greatness.
School is in the original nursery rhyme.
Mary had a little lamb
it's fleece was white as snow
and everywhere that Mary went
the lamb was sure to go
It followed her to school one day
which was quite against the rules.
It made the children laugh and play
to see a lamb at school.
Tisket! Tasket! baby
A green and yellow basket. My fav lyric! Great reaction!
My all time favorite from Stevie
For your own entertainment, check out a live version!
SRV was just pure talent.
*Willie the Wimp
*Life by the drop
This is so good. The live is even better
Lex is right! Multi-layered guitar sounds. This is a re-imagining of a classic nursery rhyme
Stevie was clever-along with being supremely talented. Guitar legend.
Love it. Something's wrong with anyone that can't "feel" the blues. The good stuff of course.
Brad, if you really want SRV in a true Blues setting, watch him play “Don’t Fall for Me, Baby”, with his brother on harmonica, and Angela Strehli singing. Incredible Blues song.
It counts as a cover of Buddy Guy as he did this first in the late 60's. Stevie also covered Buddy's song The Things I Used To Do. ruclips.net/video/R_xEEu6Uyt4/видео.html
Saw him in Ann Arbor with the Moody Blues at Chriesler Areana he was amazing.
An amazing talent (probably the best blues guitarist ever) who died tragically at the young age of 35.
“Can’t you see” Marshall Tucker Band…. Flat out great Song.
Mary had a little lamb, a little beef, a little ham, and Mary had a dress so tight, because she had an appetite. ;)
The LIVE version of this song(Austin City Limits)is nearly good as Texas Flood at El Macombo! In the LIVE version he plays 3 completely different styles, & shreds the hell out of that lightning bolt he played!
Yes! He played rhythm and lead at once.
My favorite SRV tune and I like them ALL
With SRV you always AAAAAALWAYS see him LIVE. you only get to experience half of a song. His performances add sprinkles and chocolate syrup with nuts to a plain vanilla ice cream.
Welcome to the blues Brad :D You should seek out a blues festival sometime. The community is wonderful and they are always a blast
SRV ,life without you ,capitol theater NJ ! IT'S A MUST SEE ! Breaks strings,guitar swap breaks a tooth ,adjust amps,powerful message,brilliant performance!

Please do Pink Floyd SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND.
For a Great SRV tune??
Life by the drop.. Acoustic 🤠👍✌💙
Love SRV. Check out Pride and Joy
😳..wait wait?? This is SRV's song? They used it in Tarantino's .."Dusk till Dawn" Movie.🤔 WoW i never knew
He overlaps even Hendrix tunes, doing the origional cords and then adding a northern guitar twist to it. MAKES THIM THE GOAT
I love you guys so much... but I'm not gonna lie, my favorite times are when you react to SRV!!!!!!!!!!! 💙💙💙
Also lovin' it so much that Brad said he's "feeling the blues"!!!!!!!
Cold Shot, Couldn’t Stand the Weather, Wall of Denial, Ain’t Gonna Give Up on Love, Rude Mood, Scuttle Buttin, Change It, and lots more.
Anything Stevie does is great.
This live version from Carnegie Hall is amazing. Thanks for sharing
Stevie Ray Vaughan is a Tx blues legend.
…and that’s on mary had a little lamb🐑☝️
Crank it up! Rock loud. Thats the way it was ment to be played. ✌🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘

That's Bill Lordan on drums (Sly & the Family Stone).
Now we're talkin! Proof positive that Stevie could make ANYTHING cool. Those damn small aircraft have taken way too many talented folk from us.
I usually prefer the studio version, but this is one where the live version is better. The solo in the live at Austin was just crazy good!
This is a cover of a Buddy Guy song from the late 60s.
You should watch the live version to watch the keyboard and guitar solo, watching them is amazing as listening
Yes, Brad has it right. Sound quality, if it's bad can RUIN a good song. I was blessed with growing up listening to music through very high quality sound systems. When hearing great songs through poor or even mediocre systems or headphones, it's like trying to enjoy a beautiful flower garden in the rain, and color blind.
You gotta check out Stevie's live acoustic version of Pride and Joy from the MTV Unplugged session he did. Mesmerizing!
Nice sweet bends.
"Life Without You" nd "Little Wing" "P and J"

Yeah, I`m gonna have to go with Deborah on this one. The live version will have you on your feet, dancing. And, there `s the organ solo, too.
There's a pretty wild clip on RUclips of Buddy Guy playing this with Jack Bruce and Buddy Miles around the mid-60s
Baddest 5"5" man with a guitar at the time. I saw his very last show!
@Lex: This is a blues shuffle.
I wish you checked out the live version but this still slaaaaps. My favourite SVR song
More Stevie Ray!!!!
You gotta check out Look at little sister live. One of the best live performances ever. I dont want to give away what happens but it will blow your mind.
A re-mix would be accurate. I still remember the original version from 60 years ago.
There is an album from the 70s where there are at least ten different reggae covers of "3 blind mice."
It is a cover of a Buddy Guy version of Mary Had Little Lamb
You should check out Popa Chubby - Hallelujah. Awesome blues cover of a great song.
Should watch live video of this.
There's nothing quite like yelling out a request for, "Mary had a Little Lamb," while attending a rock concert.
Guys enough with studio and lyric videos. You HAVE to see that man do work live. He’s the freaking GOAT.
