Dave (the 36-year-old with the impressive beard) was raised almost completely sheltered from pop culture by his strict military family. He was homeschooled his entire life until he entered college. He legitimately has very little knowledge of music and bands from before 2000.
John (the guy in disguise) has been a MUSIC LOVER since he was born in the 1960's. Problem is, he rarely knows or fully grasps the lyrics. Dave, on the other hand, has never heard or rarely overheard the music John chooses to play for him, but tends to take lyrics literally, sometimes to unexpected ends.
John remains in the dark both as a wry play on the situation but also because of legal issues causing his attorney to recommend maintaining a low profile.

SRV seemed to be a humble artist. I don't think he would ever say he was better than any of his predecessors.
Tommy Shannon is one of the most underrated Bass players in Rock and Roll
SRV ~ 🎸🐐 The goatiest goat in all of goatness
Tommy Shannon played bass for Johnny Winter starting in 68'. He played Woodstock. Stevie met him 10 years later at a bar in Austin. By then Tommy was a seasoned pro.
I had the privilege to see him live twice. Life changing.....
I did, too... once in 1987 at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta and next on June 15, 1990 at Lakewood Amphitheater in Atlanta... SRV was on the bill called Benson & Hedges Blues Festival, the lineup being Irma Thomas, Dr. John, Joe Cocker, BB King and SRV closed out the show. Unfortunately, Stevie died on August 27, 1990. He was hands-down the best guitar player I ever saw live, including Eric Clapton.
Stevie's brother Jimmy (of the Fabulous Thunderbirds) was once asked by an interviewer: "Does Stevie ever play a song the same way twice?", to which he instantly quipped, "Hell, Stevie never plays a song the same way ONCE !" 😂
Double trouble gets overlooked because Stevie was so fantastically awesome.
RIP " G O A T"
I was lucky enough to see him live six times, but wish I had lived in Texas to see him so many more!!!
Yeah you were very lucky 🍀 indeed !
👏🙌🎸‼️💙🎶Great reaction guys🎸Thanks for bringing this today. Yes Stevie Ray takes me away each and every time I listen/watch, no matter how many times I have heard each song. Completely irresistible to me. His passion and artistry are beyond compare in my book. You are right in complimenting his band mates and best friends. Tommy Shannon on the bass spent 3 years as the bassist for Johnny Winter and they played Woodstock together. Chris Layton on the drums is very intuitive as you said. They have to watch Stevie like a hawk cuz he will switch things up and they do yeoman's work keeping him supported in the pocket so he can soar and fly in any direction he is moved to go.
I was at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 and saw Janis and Jimi among many others. I grew up in that area and that was an epic and landmark event for sure💯
I would highly recommend you react to a Stevie original called Riveria Paradise as performed on Austin City Limits 1989. He created that after his own rehab and recovery and dedicates it to all those still suffering in any way. It showcases a whole other side to his artistry and is soothing balm for a weary soul and feels like a golden and warm hug from this man's soul⭐️🌟✨🎸🎶. He spent the last clean 4 years of his life helping and encouraging people to get sober and showed the way for many people. Bonnie Rait was good friends with Stevie and when he got clean she realized she had no more excuses. He is still inspiring people to this day in that regard. More please‼️🎸🎶💙
Miss Harriet was at Monterey!!,,,,so you've been beautiful you're entire life !!
@@stangsswang8355 😊😉✌️😂✌️Well that's one way of looking at it. I grew up in one of the most beautiful places in the world and have been a music lover from the get. That concert was such an introduction for so many groups, Janis and Jimi and many others. I saw Janice a few years later at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco and she blew the doors off the place and left those of us that witnessed her energy and soul forever changed. I also saw Santana at the Fillmore West several months after they played at Woodstock and have been a fan ever since. The venue for the Monterey Pop Festival was actually the Horse-show Arena at the Monterey Fairgrounds. I grew up watching those Horse Shows as a kiddo and it was surreal to witness magical musical groups perform in such a familiar place. 🎸🎶✌️‼️💙
Yeah he did a great job 👏 😊💙💙💙💙 7:16
Great review, guys! Double Trouble were the perfect accompaniment for SRV. They were tragically, but understandably overlooked whenever Stevie stepped on the stage.
The best artist/showman that ever picked up a guitar.....I am always transfixed listening to him.
Thanks, guys.. like.. a trance... unparalleled before & since.. appreciate your reactions...
This is mesmerising… unbelievable passion 😍😍
There are NO words for SRV
other than
Greatness......
Just stumbled across your channel. You should do “Lenny” by SRV. His wife (Lenora) and friends bought him a guitar for his birthday one year. He stayed up all night writing this song for his wife. I love all the upbeat SRV but this one has always been a favorite of mine.

Love Stevie Ray Vaughan he was such an Incredible talent on the blues guitar. Check out the covers of "Mary had a Little Lamb" Hendrix's "Voodoo Child." ❤🔥
Reese joined the trio to compete it all ! ❤😊💙💙💙 14:37
Just to let you know Tommy Shannon played with Johnny Winter at Woodstock. Great band. If you want to hear a unbelievable version of a Hendrix Voodoo child look up SRV VOODOO CHILD LIVE IN GERMANY. INCREDIBLE
I'm sorry do you guys have a pulse!?is their really a question on who's version just went off as one of the most creative interpretations I have ever heard!
THanks for the call out about the Who's influence on Hendrix, it is a historical fact that The Who invented the 'Stacks' the concept of stacking multiple amps, 100watt amps to not only create a huger sound platform but his opened the box for all kinds of additional options involving distortion. Jimmy did not do that, The Who did that. Now I want to be clear. The gear was actually from Marshall but Marshall built the stack at the request, repeated request of Townsend and Entwhistle of The Who. The Who bought the first four 100watt Marshall Amps ever built and stacked them. Rock And Roll was never the same. The Who did not like anyone being louder than them, period. Jimmy's sound changed a lot after following the The Who's path to new equipment like that. Not taking anything away from Hendrix because he was truly amazing and like Clapton earned his own status. Townsend has been vocal about how demoralized as a guitarist he became after seeing Hendrix play live the first time. Townsend realized he was never going to be able to match Hendrix as a guitarist. That may not sound important but it was because it forced Townsend to get even more serious about his songwriting efforts knowing that he could not ride very long on being a guitar hero. All parts of music history because Hendrix and differently Clapton might have their monikers , through his compositions and mammoth successes of The Who I contend that Townsend is accepted as being in the handful of most prolific, creative R&R composers of R&R history.
Well said. - JD
Gary Moore any live performance is right up there with SRV as far as passion, technique and improvisation. Moore is in the pantheon of the greats. Check out The Messiah, Still got the Blues, and Parisienne Walkways for a great start. His performances will blow you away IMHO.

A “C” town?
It is in Toronto.
Tommy Shannon played base with Johnny Winter before he joined double trouble with Chris Layton on drums.
Like Jimi, Stevie was a great showman he pulled out the tricks playing with his teeth,behind his back but the supreme playing was amazing..
I was a boy when Jimi died, then along came SRV, then he died too😢
Yes it is sad ! What a loss of greatness !💙
did you react to his sound check? it is better than most guitarists show..
Ozzy Osbourne's Diary of a Madman will give you Both lots to talk about.
As far as I'm concerned, Stevie's improv had no end in sight. I'm always disappointed when it comes. Your're so right on about the band, and the audience being a reaction video. Off point; Mama Cass had a sweet romantic voice. Try: "Dream A little Dream". Little Wing is my lifelong favorite, I think I could listen to it on a loop till the end of (my) time. Jimi's most enchanting compisition, he sung it so sweetly on the almost 3min. track. Stevie gave it a new life, hypnotizing us all. Looking like he'd play that guitar to death, his strength was Alien. Stringbender. RIP, King SRV.
I don't believe Jimi was watching The Who for his onstage performance, more likely he watched or worked for the likes of Little Richard, James Brown, Ike and Tina, The Isley's, etc, etc, etc. And when he went to England he wanted to meet Clapton and Beck.
don't dis CHUM FM. the guy who owned it at the time of the vid you watched was the basis for James Woods character in Videodrome.
STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN IS THE BEST. JIMMI SAID THAT STEVIE RAY WAS A BETTER THEN HIM. RIGHT FROM THE HORSES MOUTH. IT'S STEVIE RAY. ❤❤❤❤
Hendrix was about rock and drugs Stevie was about blues music it oranges and apples
Hendrix wrote the theme, Stevie wrote the variations.
no.
This performance, while still brilliant, was the worst i have seen from SRV doing Little Wing .
Too much "showing off " for the drunks and 14 yo's and not enough solid Hendrix interpretation.
Can't compare SRV and Hendrix because both attacked from opposite sides.
Hendrix deliberately played as dirty as possible for the late 1960's rock fans and hippies.. ... SRV played cleaner with more jazz tones and style.
For me the biggest difference between Hendrix and Vaughan, is Stevie's CLARITY! You hear all the notes! And i think SRV was much more precise in his playing. Rarely you hear a wrong note or chord! Seeing SRV and the band 7 times live from 1983 to 1987, he always played the tunes different from night to night. A remarkable talent. Hendrix to me was more of a phenom, and much credit should be given the Eddie Kramer the Engineer on those first few Hendrix records. The over dubs, and tricks in the studio was all due to Kramer. Seeing Jimi live in 1969 and again in the summer of 1970, the music always sounded somewhat empty and Jimi wasn't "ON" he was the type of player at times to be searching for something, but it came out with quite a few mistakes.
