@@LFRFAMILY My man! You gotta check out SRV's collaboration with BB King. If you're into that sort of thing....lol. ruclips.net/video/m9S-4ab14sk/видео.html
@@garrettpapit DONT FORGET THE ONE WITH ALBERT KING..YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. DONT REACT TO IT JUST MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH DRINKS FOR THIS ONE.
This is Texas Blues. Extra distortion and ridiculous attitude. Stevie was the best of that particular genre. A true stud who was influenced mostly Albert King as a child but grew up in a new scene. I highly recommend his collab with Albert King live. Some of the best blues I've ever heard.
@@ManWithoutThePants this shit made me shudder. Lil Wayne, in the very act of picking up a guitar, disrespected every guitarist to ever live ranging from the 12 year old at home picking up his dads guitar for the first time, to Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimi Hendrix
To me, Stevie Ray's greatest performance was at the 1985 show in Passaic, NJ when he performed "Life Without You". At that gig, SRV actually played the guitar with his teeth at one point. It's off the charts incredible: ruclips.net/video/DQ4REYdCkTw/видео.html
You are spot on. You can tell this is not rehearsed. He once said. if i think about what i'm playing i start to lose it. That is the sign of a true musician
Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jeff Healey “Look At Little Sister”. SRV is a legend worldwide , and Jeff is a legend here in Canada. He was blind , and plays the guitar in a way you’ve probably never seen. RIP to both greats.
You just jumped into a very deep rabbit hole my friend, this man had a short career but his legacy will live forever, been listening to SRV for years, love everything he's done, go ahead, jump in, but strap yourself in, he's going to take you on a hell of a ride. BTW, it's SRV and Double Trouble.
Damn bro. I gotta take nap. Work at the family cattle ranch. Morning work done. Evening work aint that far away. But had to watch. SRV is one of the GOATS. SRV was what we call Texas blues. RIP Stevie, another one lost before their time should have ended. Thank the Lord for RUclips
This is TEXAS BLUES, Brother Van! Stevie Ray Vaughan was so praised by B.B. King. They toured much together. I am glad you are getting to experience this stuff. I was into this dude HARD in high school. Also it's Stevie Ray Vaughan and DOUBLE TROUBLE.
Stevie was 100% blues. Black, white, it don't matter. We're all brothers and sisters, and soul is universal. The playing behind the back bit was fun. Reminds me of Hendrix playing the guitar with he teeth and behind his head. Peace, love, and health to all.
The whole album Texas Flood is killer. The song he wrote for his wife Lenny damn near brings me to tears every time I hear it and I've been listening for many years now... he could play blues like nobody else. The guitar, the extra heavy strings, and his dropped tuning just makes his music bleed some powerful emotion.
Stevie Ray Vaughan is rock,blue hall of fame. Stevie started playing at 7 year's old turned professional at 12 year's old. He played 13 gage strings other's play 9 to 10 gage. He plays with grit and passion Stevie is the "GOAT" in my opinion the band is called double trouble God bless.
He is blues all day. Rip SRV! I'm thankful I got to see him a few times growing up before he died. Couldn't go to a better show. He left us way to early
I was listening back in the early in the 1980's and he was killing it. He got me through 2 combat tours in Kuwait and Iraq in the first gulf war. I cried the day he died!!!!! You cant change it, you can't rearrange it. Time is all that we got, so baby lets take it!!!!!!!
Stevie is BLUES & SOUL, hes a LEGEND. One of the heaviest blues guitar numbers ever played. The band is called double trouble. Saw him play twice and so glad I did before he was killed.
SRV was a blues guy, through and through. He could play rock, funk...really, any style, but blues was his sweet spot. A good early example for Stevie playing something outside of blues is “Let’s Dance” by David Bowie. SRV did the guitars on that tune.
Shout out to the LFR Family 🤘🏼 You should check out Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert King - Born Under A Bad Sign two blues legends doing what they do best
One thing that people often overlook are Stevie’s band mates, Tommy Shannon on bass and Chris Layton on drums. As a three piece they were TIGHT, and the two of them could not only keep up with SRV, they also helped fill that incredible sound.
Man, I love artists such as these, the music cuts the muster. It grabs you by the soul and makes you listen, kidnaps you and takes you on a feeling drive thru life. AND ALL YOU CAN DO IS SMILE
No one played with more soul, difficulty, passion and perfect technicality than SRV. Always do SRV live to get the full experience. Notice he rarely looks at his hands. He and the guitar were one!
No words need to be spoken brother ! When he died in that copter crash in the early nineties , it was like getting kicked in the soul .... Sad fucking day 🎸
Stevie Ray, never met a lick he couldn't make tasty AF! Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble. Stevie was a true disciple of Jimi Hendrix and as others mentioned Albert King. Check out his other Jimi covers in addition to Voodoo Child: Little Wing, Third Stone From the Sun, Red House. then SRVs originals like Cold Shot and Couldn't Stand the Weather and Pride and Joy are all amazing. Tin Pan Alley, Dirty Pool, oof so many. Riviera Paradise. Cross Fire. The Blues is stroooong with you ;)
You can see the soul drops running down his face. I love the way he steps up to the microphone wanting to sing, and his body just won't let him stop playing guitar. Seeing him live wasn't a concert, it was a life experience.
Dad's often times pass on good music. I heard so much great music through my dad; ZZ Top, Black Sabbath, SRV, Allman Bros, Skynyrd, Janis and the list goes on... My mom gave me the Everly Brothers and I'm grateful for them too. Different from dad's music for sure, but very talented in their own right. Besides, it's good to be well rounded when it comes to music. There's just too much good music out there to be snobby and miss out!
I was fortunate enough to Stevie Ray Vaughn twice. The last time I saw him was August 18, 1988 at Merriweather Post Pavilion, in Columbia, MD. Two years later on August 28, 1990 he died in a helicopter crash. His performances were a sight to behold.
For sure there was no body better than Stevie. I love how he starts off playing your basic blues riff but then just uncorks it and heads of into the most amazing runs all up & down the fretboard. Its totally unique. Thanks for the best reaction!! What can you say! He says it...all!
I saw Stevie who was opening for Ray Charles at Seattle Festival for $7. Didn't know who SRV was but omg we were sweaty messes after his set! We bought tickets for his next tour but he died in a helicopter crash at age 35. Was devastated. Such a presence and a talent. RIP SRV 💞✌🎸
Lenny by SRV is one of the most beautiful songs ever. And not a single word is sang. The guitar tells the whole story word for word depression to love to happiness, EVERYTHING!!!
Yep...Hits body parts we dont talk about out loud..Addicting..and Long lasting...Stevie had It..No one comes near..Never will.. Thank you..He is forever missed..Thank God we have his music.Our common Denominator..
If you really want to hear Stevie play a “ grown up” song you have to watch and listen to Riviera Paradise, live in Austin ,Texas. It’s a whole different vibe to his playing. It doesn’t have his usual shredding or upbeat music, but it will make you appreciate him at another level with his tone and composition of this song. Just “watch and listen”.
bruh..i had the same reaction when i first heard it. he inspired me to pick up the guitar. when he died..man it killed my world. i was so effed up after that for so long. i still play some of his songs but NEVER to his ability. he still remains a huge figure in my music life. R.I.P Stevie
Stevie Ray is his own genre good sir LOL.....Stevie Ray is what happens when the music you play is more natural to you than breathing....Stevie Ray is what happens when the Gods reach down and touch the soul of a child and says "this one....this one will be what greatness looks like"
Rock? Blues? Yes! Stevie came onto the scene in 1983 when hair bands, synthesizers and parachute pants ruled the airwaves. Dude was so different that everyone in the music took notice. And I mean everyone. His main influence was Albert King with Jimi a close second. He was also a disciple of Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, BB King, Freddie King, etc, etc. He loved all his elder blues heroes...and they loved him too. So much so that they mourned his death. When Stevie hit the mainstream he told everyone to check out all his heroes and soon, those guys started selling records and playing in larger venues. Many of the elder bluesmen accredited Stevie for reviving blues, which in 1983, was an afterthought to the mainstream industry. He was heavy into drugs and alcohol until late 1986 when he got clean and sober. He stayed that way until his death in 1990. He had just finished a concert with Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, Jimmie Vaughan, and Robert Cray when he left the venue on a helicopter. It was foggy and the pilot flew into a hillside, killing all aboard. Thankfully we still have his music because dude was a guitar god sent from the Heavens. Stevie Rave On!
"RIP Stevie Ray Vaughan" Blues man all the way!! They also have his statue standing in Texas which I've heard that it has been spray painted up by losers!! Sad ☹️
In the ‘80s there was such a thing as Blues-Rock. Heavier than normal blues but still blues. Stevie Ray Vaughan, George Thorogood (Bad To The Bone), Los Lobos etc.
Im glad you did a reaction to this video because you witnessed the best guitar player that ever lived. He picked up where Jimi left off. Whats a trip is that Stevie and the best crooner that ever lived, Luther Vandross spent a lot of time in the beginning of their careers with a dude named David Bowie. God blesses us every 30 years or so with a single person that is heads and shoulders above everybody in their line of work, hence, Stevie Ray, Luther, Michael Jordan, Miles Davis, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Michael Jackson and list list is short but it goes on. Its just very sad that God usually calls the folks home early, Stevie at 35, Luther at 50, Michael jackson at 50, Miles at 61, etc.
Blues for sure, can rock it out sometimes, but he and his brother Jimmie were blues guys, they did a great album together as well. RIP Stevie, you are missed.
This performance here is out of this world...and the whole Mocambo concert is a monument in music history if u ask me...Stevie Ray Vaughan played straight out of his soul every time he picked up that guitar...and everyone who has a soul can feel that power vibe of emotions that comes flowing out of that poor strat...RIP Stevie Ray🎶❤️
The El-Mocambo is bar in Toronto by the way. It is famous for having the best bands in just for a jam session. The Rolling Stones performed there back in 1977.
Eyes closed n away he goes! Even if his heads down an seems like he might be looking at his fingers...he's normally got his eyes closed ....dont think he's showing off Stevie just did what came natural to him and transcends to another realm....ur reaction is quite normal lol Yet he's not often even mentioned in a top 10 best ever guitarists!!!!!! The GOAT...RIP Stevie 🤟🏼💞
Brother. You are so appreciated for sharing this cut. Totally agree 100% that SRV is perhaps one of the best guitarists ever! Every time I watch his contribution to music it moves me. Really. Thank you so much for sharing and paying tribute to Stevie!
This performance has always been one I think is one of the greatest of all time. He is one with that guitar. Some kind of higher power taking over him. Raw talent? Just lots of practice? No. There's something else going on here. Something we can't explain or understand. But you can feel it. In your soul.
He plays over his head, with his teeth, and backwards in front of him as well basically the guitar is in front but facing him. Checkout “little sister” I believe from capitol theater in Texas he has an amazing guitar switch after he breaks the string and you can’t even tell just by listening he had to switch guitars
SRV is the TRUTH. I was blessed to see him live in concert and it was an unbelievable experience. He is truly missed. I love Jimi Hendrix but SRV is the greatest guitarist I have had the pleasure of actually seeing in my lifetime.
What always comes to mind when I see and hear Stevie. The G.O.A.T....Mindblowing...Goosebumps.....No Man was, or will ever be in his league...RIP Brother x
Stevie Ray Vaughan is considered a blues rock artist, singer, song writer and record producer. Stevie said when he was 7 he heard a Muddy Water's record and knew right then and there he wanted to play the blues. He was in a class all his own, he was inducted into The Blues Hall Of Fame in 2000.
Baddest man to ever hold a guitar! GOAT!
This is music you listen to with your best friends, drinking and playing pool until late into the night.
ABSOLUTELY 🔥

I felt the same energy when I saw Prince play at his peak
You are spot on. You can tell this is not rehearsed. He once said. if i think about what i'm playing i start to lose it. That is the sign of a true musician

Pretty fair trumpet player too. He loved Jazz. Jeff was amazing.
Jeff Healey should def be on the list!
Yep! You can see Stevie Ray watching Jeff Healey note positions.
And thank you.
The guy who was in Roadhouse?
Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble was the band name.
"Double Trouble" Is a reference to heroin and cocaine. He was way into the drugs in the early years and cleaned up in the later part.

He's a blues musician, all rock music has its foundations in the blues.
Baddest blues axe slinger ever, and thats a tall statement to make with all the great blues legends out there.
Is he rock and roll or blues? The answer is: yes.
Both. One of the best concerts I've been to. Stevie doesn't talk much off stage. Cool cat.
Gift yourself with some George Thorogood!!!
You missed him tighten that string so he could reach higher pitch. Didn't ya bra?
He definetly is bluesguy first. He himself said it
😂😂😂😂😂
SRVs physical body was just his guitars souls visible to our eyes.

Always love. Always peace. Be blessed.
One of his most powerful videos is :28 minutes long and its his “Soundcheck”. It is amazing!

Oh! He could also do surf rock! There’s a great version of the surf classic “Pipeline” done by SRV and Dick Dale.
He played most of the tracks on the Lets Dance album.
Larry Davis first recorded this song in 1958. It is blues, so was Stevie Ray. The band, Tommy Shannon and Chris Layton, are called Double Trouble.
Just remember: when he delivered this performance, he was flat broke and wondering how he could pay for his next meal. Yet he played like a GOD!
And one day, God decided, "so you ain't impressed with today's music?" And created Stevie Ray Vaughn.
Unfortunately, he's in God's band now. RIP SRV
Imagine him and Jimis combined version of Voodoo Child...

I saw Stevie Ray at the Universal Amphitheater in LA when I was 19. Like you, I didn't know what to say. I never met him, but I really miss him.
I love watching people see him playing behind his back for the first time. Everyone's jaw drops to the floor.
I think he called it Texas Blues that is one deep rabbit hole well worth taking the dive
No words need to be spoken brother ! When he died in that copter crash in the early nineties , it was like getting kicked in the soul .... Sad fucking day 🎸
One of the greats! Little Stevie Ray. Rest high on that mountain, brother.

Ohhh bro, you don't know how much I loved waiting for that moment! Priceless!!! Thank You!
35 yrs later...still grabs me and takes me down that road. Goosebumps everytime, a true Soulshine!!
Stevie loved to play the blues and play them he could, I miss him, RIP Stevie
Saw him live, it was awesome, he'd just cleaned up, 12 steppin, then the crash happened up at Alpine Calley, East Troy WI RIP.
Love the late night reactions!! Finally I have something new to watch, and knowing I’m not the only one up late every night
Damn near broke my mouse clicking this so fast, maybe his best live performance ever!!
Saw him in 76 what a show simply put TEXAS BADD ASS!
HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..your mind about to be blown man!!!.....blues with a hint of rock
A lot of rock! In fact if you go to the record store Stevie is categorized as rock
You can see the soul drops running down his face. I love the way he steps up to the microphone wanting to sing, and his body just won't let him stop playing guitar. Seeing him live wasn't a concert, it was a life experience.

You, and all the rest of us, have seen a talent we won't see again in our lifetimes. He was truly a one of a kind.
Trying to separate Rock and Blues is like trying to separate Country and Western. All Rock is based in the blues.
Truth!
Blues for sure, can rock it out sometimes, but he and his brother Jimmie were blues guys, they did a great album together as well. RIP Stevie, you are missed.
This transports me to a old smokey bar in New Orleans. I would've loved to had seen this man in the flesh. Legend
I been waiting for this one right here jack! 🤘🤘🤘🙏🙏🙏

Stevie is without question one of the very best of all time!! Check out “the sky is crying”. I’ll stop there before I give you 20 suggestions
lol...tru
i've always thought of him as a rock n blues artist. most def a guitarist with a whole lot of soul
Stevie played how he felt at the time. Watch him perform the same song from a different show and it'll be different but always good.
You are absolutely t correct. Stevie hits you right in the soul!
great reaction and thank you!
The El-Mocambo is bar in Toronto by the way. It is famous for having the best bands in just for a jam session. The Rolling Stones performed there back in 1977.

Yet he's not often even mentioned in a top 10 best ever guitarists!!!!!!
The GOAT...RIP Stevie 🤟🏼💞
Dude is the GOAT. Jimi Hendrix was the Dr. J of electric guitar. SRV is the Michael Jordan. He just took it to a whole other level.
TO ME the greatest guitar player of all time. SRV was WAY before his time. He was great. That video of him playing behind his back was ONE OF A KIND
His music helps to induce that “Stank Face.”
New sub tonight! My all time favorite blues man
Think I this. He hadn't even hit his prime when he passed! He was indeed a guitar monster!! Miss you Stevie.

This performance has always been one I think is one of the greatest of all time. He is one with that guitar. Some kind of higher power taking over him. Raw talent? Just lots of practice? No. There's something else going on here. Something we can't explain or understand. But you can feel it. In your soul.
He plays over his head, with his teeth, and backwards in front of him as well basically the guitar is in front but facing him. Checkout “little sister” I believe from capitol theater in Texas he has an amazing guitar switch after he breaks the string and you can’t even tell just by listening he had to switch guitars
SRV is the TRUTH. I was blessed to see him live in concert and it was an unbelievable experience. He is truly missed. I love Jimi Hendrix but SRV is the greatest guitarist I have had the pleasure of actually seeing in my lifetime.
