Yes yes 💎💎 granddad use to see him walking down the streets (downtown Austin Texas) with his guitar on his back. Ironically my granddad poured the cement for his statue out here too after his passing.
I was at his last two shows. By the time he played this song he had already taken me and many others to a spiritual place. This song was climactic each time he played it. Greatest concert experience ever!
D. I first met Stevie when I was at the University of Texas in the late 70s and he was sleeping on pool tables. The world didn't know who he was yet. I saw him in LA about 2 weeks before the crash. You can tell he wasn't happy with the guitars in this song. He finishes playing #2, but the start was not with #1. The Live at El Macambo is some of his best in my opinion.
I was at his second to last show at Alpine Valley East Troy Wisconsin.. Robert Cray Opened then SRV And Clapton closed it with everybody coming on stage and Jamming!
Stevie poured his heart and soul into his music. He is astounding when he shreds...but my personal favorite is his live (Austin, TX) performance of Riviera Paradise, which he dedicated to "anyone who is suffering in any way". He pours all the hurt, healing, compassion and tenderness out in such a beautiful way! And Reese is at his very best. Hope you can check out Riviera Paradise live.
SRV ~ 🎸🐐 Guitar change, one-handed, behind the back, broke a tooth, inspirational speech....dude was THE goat. The song was written by Stevie as a tribute to Charlie Whirz, his guitar tech. Charlie had passed away so this was Stevie's song for him. The white Strat is named Charlie. Stevie was talking about the apartheid in South Africa during the 80's. The message still applies today regardless of country.
From Dallas. Had several guitars from Charlie's Guitar Shop. He had my mid-70s Les Paul autographed by SRV and sealed under urethane. Takes me way back.
At 10:30 of your video you can see Stevie turn to the side of the stage and say “ I lost my Tooth”. Saw Stevie in Seattle 1985. RIP Stevie gone but never forgotten.
Yep, he can break guitar strings, lose a tooth, and keep on playing and never miss a note and still be the best ever! Man I would give anything to have seen him in person.
SRV is my all time favorite of all categories. I love the message is not scripted. It is straight from his heart. Every performance has words but the message of love is the same. After he cleaned up he also included not to do drugs or drink in this message. But still kept the love for everyone in there as well. He was a humble and amazing person. And yes, if you watch it back, pay attention to when he broke his tooth and just grins and tell his crew off stage... lost my tooth...gone. And still continues to finish the song. No one comes close to him in my opinion.
Stevie Ray Vaughn wrote this song for his friend Charley Wirz who was a mentor and helped Stevie in how he designed his guitars and who died of a heart attack. He named the guitar Charley after his friend thie white one he changed to. He is my favorite guitarist but I love the man even more because of how he helped so many people after he got sober in the fall of 1986 with bass player and best friend Tommy Shannon. A good gentle humble soul.
I grew up in Austin. In my 20's one of the houses I lived in, I found out while reading SRV's biography "caught in the crossfire" that he had written "pride & joy" & several other songs off the first album just a street or two from where I was reading the book. I got goosebumps. And I used to see his brother Jimmy drive his lowered black Chevy duly w/ flames on the hood in the neighborhood all the time.
never have i witnessed someone more at one with an instrument. a true legend i only got to see live once and am forever grateful i had the opportunity! Rip Brother Stevie.
If I could bring anybody back, it’d be srv. Saw him half dozen times and when I watch vids like this I sadly think of when and where I was when I heard the news. My soul plummets. F’n helicopters.
Oh Chod, I am so happy you finally got to this song. I think it is my favorite, for sure. So much of his personality comes out. One thing that people who knew him personally always agreed upon was how kind, warm, and respectful he was to everyone he met--no matter their station in life. That certainly comes out in this song. The words from the song "all the love you passed our way" are engraved on the stone covering his grave. Once again, you did a great reaction. It is heartening seeing the legacy passed on. Thanks so much! And yeah, Tommy Shannon (bass) was great on this. Reese--always.
Stevie Ray was/is a one of a kind talent.. There's a verse in this song that's also on his tombstone. The words are: "Thank you for all the love you passed our way". Great song..
from Jimi Vaughan’s “6 Strings Down” In the middle of the night Six strings down On the heaven-bound flight Got a pick, a strap, guitar on his back Ain't gonna cut the angels no slack Heaven done called Another blues-stringer back home See the voodoo chile Holding out his hand I've been waitin' on you brother Welcome to the band Good blues-stringin' Heaven-fine singin' Jesus, Mary and Joseph Been lis'nin' to your playin'
This absolutely made me smile, tear up, and gave me the"musical chill bumps". Thank you so much for this reaction, I'm glad that it made you smile as well. RIP Stevie Ray and Greg my sweet husband. Ps this really ment alot to me, I dig the way you run your channel.✌💜🎶
💗 💖 💘 💝 💟 ☮️!!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful!!! Wonderful reaction, as well!!! I love how you love SRV... you're one of us now!!!!!!!!!! (Tears & chills... Yes!!!! We're with you, Stevie!!!!!!!!!)
i saw srv in Arlington Texas in 84 my first srv concert me being a yankee from bk ny all my friends i meet told me about srv never heard of him i was like ok me being a big jimmi hendrix fan said alright lets go se him we did and this man blew me away he is one of the greatest of all time no if not the goat he did this song at the end of the concert when he came to the last solo he put his hat on the mic and went into the solo best time of my life loved him then and love him more now rip and thank you srv the goat
I was at this show :) I was lucky enough to see SRV many, many times. I'm so glad to see a new generation listening to him. He was a very sweet, soft spoken, kind & humble man, too. RIP
After he got clean he used this song to talk about addictions and amends. God what a man he was. Sigh. Check out his awesome Riviera Paradise live at Austin City Limits. Amazing keys too. Riviera Paradise was our wedding song in 1992.
Stevie spirit still moves me all these years later. I have seen this song performed later in his career where he talks about how he overcame his drug addiction and it was a powerful testimonial. SRV lives on forever brothers and sisters.
Beautiful song..written by Stevie for his friend Charlie...hence changed his guitar to the white one he named Charlie after his friend. Stunning lyrics...”Angels have waited for so long, now they have their way...” ☹️ cud easily apply to Stevie ...on his grave is the words “Thanks for all the love you passed our way”...another line from this song....such talent , just the tip of I suspect a very big iceberg that we never had the honour of experiencing...RIP SRV ur forever missed 🥰☹️❤️❤️
He was talking about South Africa and apartheid. The mother country down south. Later on when he got sober use that opportunity in the song to talk about addictions and love
YEAH.. That organ DROVE behind that riff and gave it that awesome almost like haunting sound. Im 54 and been listening to this man my whole life and i just stumbled across this performance today. This is about the 10th reaction video ive watched because i love this video that much. You can listen to SRV and like him, but if you watch him you will FALL IN LOVE HIM..
More than 30 years since I heard SRV for the first time. I was just starting to play guitar. On my best day, I'm still not half as good as he was. They don't make music or musicians like him today... just a lot of us doing our best to honor his memory and carry the torch.
It's also my favorite song by him! His message came from his heart! I've heard him change the words within his message on other performances of the same song! So his message isn't scripted to the point that the same saying is heard! The GOAT of GOATS!
I saw SRV when he opened for Ray Charles in Seattle Festival for $7.50. I didnt know who he was but we were blown away and were drenched afterward. Had ticket for upcoming tour but we lost that beautiful human before i could. Bless SRV
LOVE my Stevie! Blessed to have seen & meet him, Chris, Tommy & Reece. I am SO enjoying watching you & other young folks testing the music waters. I grew up hearing everything! Big band to the birth of punk rock , rap & even this silly techno noise. But hey, whatever one likes! Music makes the world go round. Just dance in life!
🐐 SRV represented the southern blues clubs and our blended culture of artist like no other . By far the greatest and the sweet Dirty South still is listening and new listeners are being exposed and taken to church by Stevie everyday, his skills are un matched ! ❤
I've only recently discovered Stevie. His vocals here blew me away... This is my favorite song by him or anyone for that matter. Nice job and perfect for not pausing. It's why you're my favorite reactor ❤️
Imo he wasn't appreciated as much as he deserved on this earth, but he was good with that. He looked high on this vid, and probably so, but his heart was bared when he spoke and I just know he's looking down from the heavens even more grateful for his life than he ever was. He IS missed every day and his music and msgs have become a part of the souls of many. Not to mention that the smooth southern attitude behold a badass, I'm sure lol.
Probably my favorite performance from them. SRV's amazing playing and words of wisdom; are so moving. It blesses my spirit when people use their platform for love. Also there's no tighter rhythm section than Tommy and Chris; and they were groovin' hard in the pocket!
That was real cool. I got to see him live 7 times. Some people stalked the Dead. I stalked Stevie. Didn't really stalk him, just went to see him when he came to NY. I saw him from a small club show to Madison Square Garden. He got me naturally high.
I am so glad you did this SRV song and this video. Its my favorite SRV song and video & maybe my favorite of all...period. He has to be seen as well as heard. Not because he has a huge and spectacular light show. You have to see him playing. Just to see how he moves the guitar and holds it has got to be seen! Thanks for doing this! I knew I would enjoy your reaction and I surely did!
Behind his back and with his mouth!!!! In my 68 years I've never seen anyone except maybe Jimmy Hendrix that was even close to this talent!! Un f..king real!!!!!
Stevie was a beautiful soul. For something different, you could react to his brother Jimmie's induction speech when Stevie went into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Brought a tear. Did his little brother proud.
It takes time to listen to 40 years worth of great, great music. From the 1950's to 1990's was wall to wall great singers and bands, no exaggeration. The weekly top 100 was loaded with these songs, and never lacking in quality. The artist were inspired by each other, their personal experiences and social issues. It was more of a mutual respect than a competion.
All true!! If we could just get these kids today off computers, tv, social media, & xbox games...they might just pick up an instrument & learn to play it. Then & only then, will we ever have great bands & music again!!
I got to see him 3 times, the first time when he was just hitting the national scene big time with the first album, the last time was right after this was released. Best live performer I ever saw... with Robin Trower being the second best.
Stevie Reminds me of Jimi Hendrix playing behind his back. Both were Master Guitarists and both died too soon. Learning from so many Black blues guitarists... Stevie’s speech...particularly by a white Southerner was meaningful because he saw a lot of racism.
You must check out Stevie doing Life by the drop. It’s a life story about addiction and cleaning up and it’s acoustic. It is a really moving song if you have seen what it’s about.
Not too long after this show he died in a helicopter crash heading home May Stevie Ray Vaughan rest in peace God bless God speed Anthony from Memphis Tennessee
Your the best reactor on RUclips. I appreciate what you do because it gives me joy to know someone way younger than me can appreciate music we listened to
Check out the video of Stevie and his brother, Jimmie, playing Pipeline together on the same double neck guitar. The love you can feel between the two brothers, grooving together, is wonderful. And, while there's no video of the show, the opening number of his birthday show at Carnegie Hall, Scuttle Buttin', will blow your doors off.
SRV was my dads favorite artist of all time. We played SRV at his funeral and at a benefit that we had for him. My mom had walked in the bathroom to grab a tissue because this song came on and someone had hung a picture of my dad and it was the first thing she saw when she walked in the bathroom. It brought her a small amount of peace because she felt him there.
I’ve watched all the SRV videos you posted , saw him many times back in the day. It been a pleasure watching your mind be blown by Stevie Great channel your got here 👍
This is my favorite, too. I also like Texas Flood, Tin Pan Alley, and Crossfire. Have you heard/watched Stevie Ray's performance of Stormy Monday with Albert King? If you haven't, I would suggest you might really enjoy it.
Nobody like Stevie Ray. He always lifts my spirit . He was so talented and had such a kind soul. He makes us Texans so proud!

'Charley Wirz'

SRV is my all time favorite of all categories. I love the message is not scripted. It is straight from his heart. Every performance has words but the message of love is the same. After he cleaned up he also included not to do drugs or drink in this message. But still kept the love for everyone in there as well. He was a humble and amazing person.

No one comes close to him in my opinion.
It was a cap, Stevie never took care of his teeth, and by the time of his breakdown all of his teeth were either replaced or capped.
Stevie Ray Vaughn wrote this song for his friend Charley Wirz who was a mentor and helped Stevie in how he designed his guitars and who died of a heart attack. He named the guitar Charley after his friend thie white one he changed to.

And please don’t wait so long to check him out again!!!!!!
Yeah!! What Connie said!!!
This man was a gift from God...period! thanks for it all SRV!!!
Stevie deserves alll this love so much!! It makes me tear up! Austin 💎💎💎💎💎#RIPSRV

We truly lost a gift when he passed!!! But it's such a blessing knowing he was saved by God's grace before he left us!!!! So inspiring!!!
Amen
I cried when I found out Stevie Ray died, One of the Greats for sure!
Thank you Stevie! Made me cry! RIP!
The Greatest of all time Mr Stevie Ray Vaughn! He also has an amazing voice. 🎸
never have i witnessed someone more at one with an instrument. a true legend i only got to see live once and am forever grateful i had the opportunity!
Rip Brother Stevie.
If I could bring anybody back, it’d be srv. Saw him half dozen times and when I watch vids like this I sadly think of when and where I was when I heard the news. My soul plummets. F’n helicopters.
Same. His death hurts more than any other musician's for me.
Right? He got clean and sober. Turned his life around, even went to church. And then a helicopter takes him out early.
Ditto
How fortunate for you. He wasn't on my radar. I was too young. Today he my favorite. I could and do sometimes; listen to him all day.
Clapton was on that helicopter and his manager got him off last minute.
Oh Chod, I am so happy you finally got to this song. I think it is my favorite, for sure. So much of his personality comes out. One thing that people who knew him personally always agreed upon was how kind, warm, and respectful he was to everyone he met--no matter their station in life. That certainly comes out in this song.

Its scary how good he was
Oh Stevie If only you were still hear. R.I.P.
Amen. Just... Amen! You're seeing and hearing Stevie Ray's soul when he plays. Pure and simple.
Stevie Ray was/is a one of a kind talent.. There's a verse in this song that's also on his tombstone.
The words are:
"Thank you for all the love you passed our way". Great song..
from Jimi Vaughan’s “6 Strings Down”
In the middle of the night
Six strings down
On the heaven-bound flight
Got a pick, a strap, guitar on his back
Ain't gonna cut the angels no slack
Heaven done called
Another blues-stringer back home
See the voodoo chile
Holding out his hand
I've been waitin' on you brother
Welcome to the band
Good blues-stringin'
Heaven-fine singin'
Jesus, Mary and Joseph
Been lis'nin' to your playin'
The man played 'NASTY BLUES'. He got down and dirty which is what made him so freaking great.
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Ain't Gone 'n' Give Up On Love I believe this song that he wrote is his best and most evocative vocal piece.
This absolutely made me smile, tear up, and gave me the"musical chill bumps". Thank you so much for this reaction, I'm glad that it made you smile as well. RIP Stevie Ray and Greg my sweet husband. Ps this really ment alot to me, I dig the way you run your channel.✌💜🎶
Got up this morning and saw you posted another vid so I had to watch love your reactions bro keep it up. Stevie I the GOAT

Love Stevie. His jazziest piece, made after he got sober, is "Riviera Paradise" The whole band is fabulous in it.
After he got clean he used this song to talk about addictions and amends. God what a man he was. Sigh. Check out his awesome Riviera Paradise live at Austin City Limits. Amazing keys too. Riviera Paradise was our wedding song in 1992.
Riviera Paradise live at ACL is other worldly.
Lenny and Riviera Paradise are just spectacularly delicate.❤️ he was such a beautiful man.
Listening to SRV is a spiritual experience. I have no other words.
Stevie spirit still moves me all these years later. I have seen this song performed later in his career where he talks about how he overcame his drug addiction and it was a powerful testimonial. SRV lives on forever brothers and sisters.
Careful brother, you may end up having to listen to it at least once a day...like I do
Thank you Chod for this excellent reaction
Beautiful song..written by Stevie for his friend Charlie...hence changed his guitar to the white one he named Charlie after his friend.

Stevie was changing musical tastes. Blues is his game
Rest in peace.

Been a fan since I was just a kid & the more I listen & see young people discover him the more I feel his loss
@10:31, 'I lost my tooth! It's gone!'. He just keeps jamming, lol. Great reaction!
Lol. Yeah and looks like he said "sorry" and laughed....it's cool, cuz nothing could be done lol
Like the show-man, the show must go on!
I've only recently discovered Stevie. His vocals here blew me away... This is my favorite song by him or anyone for that matter. Nice job and perfect for not pausing. It's why you're my favorite reactor ❤️
The slight head nod, and smooth guitar switch. ❤❤❤
Broken string I guess. Just so freaking smooth!!
He will always be missed
He had the greatest success story ever told and a great message he'd say at his shows as well RIP stevie ray vaughan
Lenny - Stevie Ray Vaughan live at the El Mocambo. A beautifully soulful tribute to his wife
Imo he wasn't appreciated as much as he deserved on this earth, but he was good with that. He looked high on this vid, and probably so, but his heart was bared when he spoke and I just know he's looking down from the heavens even more grateful for his life than he ever was. He IS missed every day and his music and msgs have become a part of the souls of many. Not to mention that the smooth southern attitude behold a badass, I'm sure lol.
Oh and in case you have not heard, SRV and Double Trouble are being inducted into the 2021 Grammy Hall Of Fame for the Texas Flood album!
Probably my favorite performance from them. SRV's amazing playing and words of wisdom; are so moving. It blesses my spirit when people use their platform for love. Also there's no tighter rhythm section than Tommy and Chris; and they were groovin' hard in the pocket!
That was real cool. I got to see him live 7 times. Some people stalked the Dead. I stalked Stevie. Didn't really stalk him, just went to see him when he came to NY. I saw him from a small club show to Madison Square Garden. He got me naturally high.
I am so glad you did this SRV song and this video. Its my favorite SRV song and video & maybe my favorite of all...period. He has to be seen as well as heard.

Brings tears to my eyes knowing he’s gone
Love this man! Taken to soon
One of the most spellbinding entertainers I’ve ever seen. He and Duane Allman always did that to me!
Behind his back and with his mouth!!!! In my 68 years I've never seen anyone except maybe Jimmy Hendrix that was even close to this talent!! Un f..king real!!!!!
R.I.P. Stevie. I had so many chances to see SRV live but put it off; now too late. ♥️😢🎶. Thank you, Chod.

Don't think you've reacted to any Grand Funk Railroad yet. Check out "Inside Looking Out" live 1969.
He was so kind and genuine as a person. Shy without his guitar in his hand. ❤️❤️☮️💜
It's not the fact he pays behind his back that really impresses me. Is how well he does is
I got to see him 3 times, the first time when he was just hitting the national scene big time with the first album, the last time was right after this was released. Best live performer I ever saw... with Robin Trower being the second best.
SRV was a gift to us all. A gift that we can all open again & again everytime we listen to him
Great version, especially because of his little "pearls of wisdom"
How lucky are we that so much film survives of SRV?
Stevie Reminds me of Jimi Hendrix playing behind his back. Both were Master Guitarists and both died too soon. Learning from so many Black blues guitarists... Stevie’s speech...particularly by a white Southerner was meaningful because he saw a lot of racism.
You must check out Stevie doing Life by the drop. It’s a life story about addiction and cleaning up and it’s acoustic. It is a really moving song if you have seen what it’s about.
He had the amps crying out on this one... he was the best I ever saw.... the real deal.
I guess you can say he mastered the guitar.
Cold Shot must listen leave my little girl alone
Not too long after this show he died in a helicopter crash heading home May Stevie Ray Vaughan rest in peace God bless God speed Anthony from Memphis Tennessee
Gone way too soon, and the world is a lesser place without him.
He was a master, of emotion, of technique and as always It’s all about his tone as well... some can recreate one or two but all three?
You will love Ain't Gon Give Up On Love live at the Capitol Theater!!
I was blessed to see him live! SRV is the GOAT!!
The Guy was just unbelievable!
Your the best reactor on RUclips. I appreciate what you do because it gives me joy to know someone way younger than me can appreciate music we listened to
Nobody comes close to SRV when it comes to Blues. imo. R.I.P. Beautiful soul xxx
Check out the video of Stevie and his brother, Jimmie, playing Pipeline together on the same double neck guitar. The love you can feel between the two brothers, grooving together, is wonderful.
And, while there's no video of the show, the opening number of his birthday show at Carnegie Hall, Scuttle Buttin', will blow your doors off.
Lawd! Those Texas Blues, tho! 🔥🤘
Check out/react to "Pride & Joy"!
RIP SRV. ❤🕊🙏
SRV was my dads favorite artist of all time. We played SRV at his funeral and at a benefit that we had for him. My mom had walked in the bathroom to grab a tissue because this song came on and someone had hung a picture of my dad and it was the first thing she saw when she walked in the bathroom. It brought her a small amount of peace because she felt him there.
I’ve watched all the SRV videos you posted , saw him many times back in the day. It been a pleasure watching your mind be blown by Stevie
Great channel your got here 👍
Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jeff Beck - "Goin Down"
This is my favorite, too. I also like Texas Flood, Tin Pan Alley, and Crossfire. Have you heard/watched Stevie Ray's performance of Stormy Monday with Albert King? If you haven't, I would suggest you might really enjoy it.
Please watch Stevie & Albert King play "Born under a bad sign".
SRV....Riviera Paradise....most relaxing song ever
One of the best
Nice to see good black men stepping out of there comfort zone.
It's so great to see this message of unity performed under a Texas flag, please don't give up on the south, y'all, we're still working on it!
