Doyle’s voice is wicked blues . John Mayer killed it on quitar. Got goosebumps for sure . All good …when are they touring …wouldn’t that be incredible. Thank you for this incredible display of talent .
The best tribute to SRV is to be yourself on your instrument and give it 150% - that's what each of John, Jimmie, Doyle, Gary and especially Double Trouble did with this performance - no better job possible - AWESOME!
i love that John decided to bring his first guitar to this event even though he has a ton he can choose from such as his famous Black One. Backstory on the guitar he's using here, he bought this particular guitar when he was still a teen when all he did was practice guitar and obsessed over SRV. this guitar is a direct influence of SRV's famous guitar, i love that John thought to bring his SRV influenced guitar to induct the man himself to the Rock N Roll hall of fame. so awesome..
Indescribable feeling. No words, words are unnecessary just listen to the public. Stevie is more alive than ever through his songs. Special thanks to all the musicians who keep Stevie alive. PS You want to have some more good times, see Tommy Katona
mitin timisin JM just doesn't have the same feel or soul. I'm not saying he isn't a technically incredible player, but his blues playing doesn't even come close to the other cats.
That's how I like my guitar. Liquid. Who needs to live in Colorado? I'm high in my living room. Thanks for posting. Maybe we'll see more of this from Mayer. The Double Trouble is amazing. RIP Vaughan. Thank God he helped reinvigorate the blues in the '80s, or else, how could we thrive? Check out Joe Bonamassa if you haven't.
John Mayer's tone and attack was the closest IMO of anyone there, but no where near SRV. Just not possible. This is a tribute to a guitar player that has no equal so stop the nonsense. Thank you for posting this, I enjoyed it.
I think I’ve seen most of the RRHoF performances over the years, and this ranks among my favorites. Playing, singing, and most importantly, heart worthy of SRV. Appreciated seeing Doyle Bramhall II included, as he and his father, Doyle Sr., were/are longtime associates of both Vaughan brothers (love the pat on the back he gave Jimmie after “Six Strings Down”)…and Gary Clark, Jr., who should be better well known than he is…John Mayer, exquisite, the perfect contemporary choice to honor Stevie’s legacy….Reese, Chris, Tommy, and Jimmie all did Stevie proud. Love these guys.
It's hilarious reading these "so and so was the best one out there, so and so is better than so and so" comments. The fact is, all these guitarists are great and have something different to offer, and that's what's great. I'm assuming those comments are by non-musicians who don't know any better and aren't very familiar with the blues. SRV is my favorite all-time guitarist. Not because he was technically proficient--in fact, one could argue he wasn't. He's my favorite because of HOW he would play. SRV said it best, "I use heavy strings, tune low, play hard and floor it. Floor it. That's technical talk."
Fun show + great playing from everyone. Much respect and love for SRV coming through. Looks like Doyle's rocking his Acid Fuzz Zonk Machine clone around 12 min. F%#king NICE!
wow when john started singing "pride and joy" at the beginning I thought it was stevie for a second until they panned over to john. wow I had never understood why some people said john's voice sounded like stevie's until this performance...jeez great tribute from all!
This is what I've been waiting for. Thank you a million times for posting this! I'm such a huge fan of GCJ and grew up listening to SRV so this is a dream performance to see. Cheers!
Everybody is comparing who plays it better, but those five guitarplayers dont even care! They Just enjoying each others guitarstyle. Always that comparing bullshit who's better or not, SRV would give respect to all five of them!
haha i didn't read the title and for a second i thought gary clark jr's drummer had come out to play some guitar. then i realized doyle bramhall had grown a fro
Who is the guy wearing the hat?? I've been trying to find his name for the past 10 minutes but ever website is only noting Jimmie, Gary, and John? Pls and thanks. (Also John Mayer's solo in Texas Flood kicked so much more ass than the other solos haha I guess that's what you get when you get taught by Eric Clapton)
the whole show will NOT be on HBO.It is never aired in it;'s entirety each year.the show was 5.5 hours long..they will have a edited down version on may 30th on HBO...
David Clarke yeah its gonna be on HBO May 30th ...this show was 5.5 hours long th eothe rnight but the HBO telecast in may will only be 1.5 to 2 hours tops
Now John Mayer is to me what Stevie is to John Mayer, but I don't think I can call him the best out there. There is no good or bad guitar players. Now there are more versatile and more experienced players for sure. But each guitarist has different techniques abilities and overall they know what they wan to play and what sound they like best for themselves. Every guitarist up there was fantastic in their own regard and I envy every single one of them.
Omg. These comments are ridiculous Jimmie is a great guitar player. Second he was honoring his little brother and it's not who plays the best. Third Jimmie and Stevie always took a step back when playing for stuff like this. Be yourself John Mayer sounds like he's trying to put on a show and I am a musician so I know music and it's a tribute to a legend not an individual guitar dual. As in the blues players hold back because it's not always about a whole bunch of notes. Blues comes from inside yourself. It's not something you learn it's something you had all along. Jimmie is a damn great musician and these guys all are but why try to play exactly like Stevie played it. Be your own person with your own style. Yes style Srevie would never try to out do any other player or would most guitarists. John may be doing just that in my opinion.
Bill Beardskey SRV did out do others by just playing and John plays his heart out also. If you are the musician as you say then why do you rip into John? No class. I have talked with so many engineers producers and other legendary guitarists and they all agree John is the real deal. He may not be your favorite but he shreds circles around most others.
John mayer usually plays a lot better than this.He obviously was just holding back for respect for the other guys. If he tried even a little bit he would've channeled SRV 100x better than he did in this performance.
Doyle’s voice is wicked blues . John Mayer killed it on quitar. Got goosebumps for sure . All good …when are they touring …wouldn’t that be incredible. Thank you for this incredible display of talent .
Doyle wiped the floor with all of them, guitar playing and voice on Texas Flood.
John's solos holy shit!
Damn.. John Mayer was really channeling his SRV.. Amazing!
Holy shit. John mayer was playing his heart out. Srv would be proud
Thank you for sharing! John Mayer is just the best one! AMAZING !
Wow, John was REALLY channeling SRV during Texas Flood, amazing set by everyone.
Gotta love John back playing some blues! Gary Clark Jr is a beast btw!
love Mayer's solo
❤️ Gary’s solo.
@@tonyahammond3865 Absolutely awesome these vatos are freaking amazing 😍

Great tribute to the one and only, unique talent that was Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Holy F$%K Gary and Doyle blew the lid off that thing!
mitin timisin JM just doesn't have the same feel or soul. I'm not saying he isn't a technically incredible player, but his blues playing doesn't even come close to the other cats.
I gotta second mittin. I can feel Mayer's playing. Honestly, did the best. He did have a longer solo.
John Mayer sang and played just like SRV here DANG!
This video is so bomb. It’s all the way up. All of these Blues Men kill it. I am a John Mayer fan. I love them all
THANK YOU A MILLION TRILLION TIMES
Nothing but blues talent with some great guitar picks and Reese on keyboard 🎹
That's how I like my guitar. Liquid. Who needs to live in Colorado? I'm high in my living room. Thanks for posting. Maybe we'll see more of this from Mayer. The Double Trouble is amazing.

I want John Mayer Trio back!
they all represented in their own way...very cool!!!!
Most soulful of the three... DBII. So sweet and forceful. Great ending to a great great tribute.
John Mayer's tone and attack was the closest IMO of anyone there, but no where near SRV. Just not possible. This is a tribute to a guitar player that has no equal so stop the nonsense. Thank you for posting this, I enjoyed it.
Great Ceremony, nice to see those guys on the stage, meant a lot I'm sure...
R.I.P. Stevie
An excellent tribute to a musical legend.
Gary Clark Jr's solo was superb!

That was awesome! Can't wait till the official release of this evening.
And his voice is class!
Legends every one of em!
Thank you so, so much for sharing this precious stuff! Peace.
Outstanding rendition of 6 strings down from Jimmie at the end. :-)
grande stevie el mejor guitarrista a mi gusto ya era hora de reconocerlo...
The last number is pretty cool too!
You guys rocked it. Made me forget my pain. TY TY TY for posting

thewhiteelephant Sounds about right.
Exactly your totally right!
Thank you so much Nick!
Thank you, Nick!
Fun show + great playing from everyone. Much respect and love for SRV coming through.
Looks like Doyle's rocking his Acid Fuzz Zonk Machine clone around 12 min.
F%#king NICE!
Thankyou for sharing
What a show!! Each artist brought something special. I love this tribute & I think SRV would too!
Fucking love all those guitar players but Doyle's tone and playing is scary good!
Thank you for posting!
wow when john started singing "pride and joy" at the beginning I thought it was stevie for a second until they panned over to john. wow I had never understood why some people said john's voice sounded like stevie's until this performance...jeez great tribute from all!

Hooolllllllyyyyy FUCK that gave me goosebumps!
The peak of Mayer's solo = mind blown.
THANK YOU!!!!!! :)
Doyle!
Otro nivel el solo de Gary Clark en Texas Flood, toda la influencia Albert King.
Excelente Doyle Bramhall !!! Bien JM!
DeewPot Excelente en toda.
Don't overlook Doyle. If uve ever seen him on the In The Flesh Tour DVD in David Gilmours spot u would be blown away. Great guitarist and voice.
Now really really MAYER IS BACK
Everybody is comparing who plays it better, but those five guitarplayers dont even care! They Just enjoying each others guitarstyle. Always that comparing bullshit who's better or not, SRV would give respect to all five of them!
Danniel Saaltink They played off each other, and inspired each other to play their best.
JM solo Texas Flood....... wtf? come on.. The crowd musta been too stunned to applaud!
Did not know J. Mayer was that good.
Don't Feed the Trolls Actually, the guitarist right next to him looked a little surprised and then seemed to cheer him on. Lot of heart up there.
haha i didn't read the title and for a second i thought gary clark jr's drummer had come out to play some guitar. then i realized doyle bramhall had grown a fro
Somebody please can you tell me about the song Jimmy did where Double Trouble sang. Please!!
Nick Perry, thank you for posting this! Freaking amazing. Is this the entire section devoted to Stevie?
Ann Mutschler yes it is!
Who is the guy wearing the hat?? I've been trying to find his name for the past 10 minutes but ever website is only noting Jimmie, Gary, and John? Pls and thanks. (Also John Mayer's solo in Texas Flood kicked so much more ass than the other solos haha I guess that's what you get when you get taught by Eric Clapton)
I'm 4 years late , but your probably asking about Tommy Shannon DT bass player GCJR also wore a hat.
the whole show will NOT be on HBO.It is never aired in it;'s entirety each year.the show was 5.5 hours long..they will have a edited down version on may 30th on HBO...
What is the amp that is to the left of Mayer's two rock?
There's only one original SRV
Thanks Nick, hoping RRHOF release something offical for this though! Were there cameras recording this on the night?
David Clarke yeah its gonna be on HBO May 30th ...this show was 5.5 hours long th eothe rnight but the HBO telecast in may will only be 1.5 to 2 hours tops
Nick Perry Usually a lot longer. Last years shOw on HBO was over 3 hours long.
Alan Haynes should have been up there.
They just haven't got nothing on John not even close
And none of them even come close to stevie!
Maple Ridge Mafia No one will ever come close to Stevie
Doyle has it. Doesn't show it because he doesn't have to. I saw him in concert it changed my life.
Michael Clemmer isn't the stage where you're supposed to show it?
Zurin Arctus I don't think that is the point
your right doyle did hold back
John Mayer is Stevie reincarnated.
Now John Mayer is to me what Stevie is to John Mayer, but I don't think I can call him the best out there. There is no good or bad guitar players.

You totally didn't,understand my comment! But to each his own. My views on music go back a long way. Ty for your comment
entre todos esos no hacen ni la mitad de stevie.
***** Porque no eres Steve!
John mayer usually plays a lot better than this.He obviously was just holding back for respect for the other guys. If he tried even a little bit he would've channeled SRV 100x better than he did in this performance.
Shane Hawthorne I wish my full force sounded like his holding back, man. Practice practice practice I guess.
Shane Hawthorne John Mayer tried but he knows Stevie is THE best.
I think you're missing the point here.
You're crazy dude.
Shane Hawthorne PFFFFFFFF....!
Bonamassa should’ve been there instead of gary Clark jr
