Have you checked out the SRV with Albert King in Canada stuff? It starts out kinda lame, two old tom cats checking each other out, then it builds to one of the best Blues jams, ever.
Hey, chance of another instrumental? Check out Joe Satriani - Flying in a Blue Dream (there's a couple good lives on here) or Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover
@@likearainbow7501 We have been cheated out of at least another 30 years of great music. Bon Jovi hasn't done anything since 1990 that thrilled me a tenth as much as a new SRV album would have. Here, I'll go you one better: Clapton should have gone down in that helicopter instead of Stevie Ray.
Love this beautiful, sweet, humble man. He was a gift from God. How about a reaction to Riviera Paradise and Lenny, his most precious instrumentals. RIP SRV🎸
His boys Double Trouble never got the Recognition that they deserved. Great piano player, great bassist and fantastic drummer!!!!!This was one hell of a band!!!!! So says Austin Tx!!!!!!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸😍😍😍😍🤣🤣🤣🤣🥳🥳😎🍸
"Love Struck" and you think Stevie is rockin' out, then he goes into "Rude Mood" and you realize he was just warming up with a slow tune. 😵 This shit is transcendent.
SRV is absolutely one of my favorite artists of all time. But Double Trouble(Tommy, Chris and Reese) have always been so underrated. The fact that they could just play with Stevie so flawlessly was just amazing.
I really want Jamel to check out the live version of "Cold Shot" from Austin City Limits. It's an example of a song where the best solo in the tune is not played on the guitar, it's played on the Hammond organ by Reese Wynans.
This is the same with Billy Strings. Billy is a master, so creative but his band is absolutely amazing and the fly with him and BMFS can shred, Bluegrass to Death Metal.
I think it was Clapton who said he never runs dry. His leads never got repetitious, just flowing creativity. Miss you SRV. Thanks for sharing the video my friend. ✌️
What Stevie's actually playing on "Rude Mood" sounds clearer on the studio album & the jam is an Olympic feat. He's playing the lead scale from the low E but picking a _second_ high octave scale on the B/E strings simultaneously, crossing the full width of the neck with each stroke - back & forth and _in between each picked note._ That requires superhuman speed & machine-like perfection on the right hand. If you sit down with a Stevie tab book, you see what a creative genius he really was.
Yep, I bought my SRV tab books, studied his Guitar Player tabs, worked hard to learn his style many years ago. I absolutely could not begin to do it correctly. Stevie was a gift from heaven who had incomparable skills. I'm so sad to this day that he is no longer with us. My Hero RIP.
I'm a pretty good picker, I do cover this somtimes, but... it took a looong time before i was comfortable enough with it to play it live. It's a pretty smoking pace. He did it like he was born playing it
@@Tracer9GTRider8 Just don't let stuff like this discourage you from playing. Odds are you'll never be able to play like that, no matter how hard you try. So just do you, and enjoy playing however it keeps your mojo workin'...
So I'm sitting here in the middle of the night REWATCHING your SRV reactions & suddenly here's THIS!! I'm a happy lady! Btw, this show was in Daytona Beach. And about instrumentals, hope you do "Riviera Paradise". Probably Stevie's most beautiful & beloved instrumental. It's been known to make grown men cry. The one live from Austin is the one to watch, good clear video & with a dedication he makes at the start.💙🌿💚
@@flor9389 I can imagine! I read someone's comment about the technical aspects of what Stevie did in that song & it boggled my mind (& I don't even play!).
I can't believe I never heard SRV play "Riviera Paradise" before. What an absolutely gorgeous song. The whole band was stellar. Thanks for recommending this to us; I placed the Austin performance on my saved list.
If the world is VERY lucky,we may once again be blessed with another guitarist that has the talent of Stevie Ray. Probably won't happen in MY lifetime,but I still hope it happens.
Stevie was absolutely unbeatable live! Can’t tell ya how many songs that I don’t really care for as studio versions become my absolute favorites when done live!! He just brings this energy that a studio can’t properly convey.
As noted in your title of your video on 03/25/87, this was at Daytona Beach, Florida at the Ocean Center with the opening act, The Gregg Allman Band. Growing up in the Dallas area, I had heard of Stevie Ray Vaughan, but never was into his music. After watching your videos, I've become a big fan. It's just one of the regrets in my life that I never got to see him perform in person. On a personal note, I just found out that when I lived in Dallas, I lived about a mile from Stevie Ray's last house he lived in on Travis Street in Dallas.
A lot of modern bands have gone to in ear monitors and don't even have live amps on stage....these guys were old school and I can tell you that Stevie's stage volume was LOUD....RIP SRV....
Stevie Ray still rules!!! I think one of my faves has to be “Cold Shot” especially with the video. Loved the hospital bed scene 😂 Rest in peace, Stevie-we’re better folks for having heard you play and sing, but you sure are missed ♥️
Jamal check out Paul Butterfield Blues Band. They got the same blues rock vibes that SRV had, they came before Stevie, but not as well known. Give them a listen man. “Born in Chicago” “Shake Your Money-Maker” “Driftin and Driftin”
For me it’s not just his amazing,IMO unmatched talent, it’s the the pure joy and love that he has for his craft that adds that extra Angel dust that no other performer can match. ❤️
Saw him open for Huey Lewis. Saw him with Lonnie Mack as his opening act. Both absolutely stunning performances. And I was "down front" for the second one. The videos are great, but you just don't get to "feel" the sound! He was NOT afraid of volume!
God dammit, I was in high school, and that tour came to not one, but TWO towns within an hour and a half. I was a senior in high school saving money for college, and I convinced myself I couldn't spare the money. I also justified it by saying, "Hey, he just got clean and sober, and he looks really healthy, so I'm sure he's going to be around for a long time." He was dead in a helicopter crash a year later. Listen to a regretful old man, children: always go to the show. Always, always, ALWAYS go to the show. You never know whether or not you will ever get another chance. If you don't have the money, borrow it. If you can't get the day off work, quit your job and get a different one when you get back. I can get lots of jobs, but I can't get any more Stevie Ray Vaughan tickets. Or Soundgarden tickets featuring Chris Cornell. My two biggest musical regrets.
@@joeday4293 Yup, he played my school (SIU-Carbondale) back in 1983 or 4 in a relatively small auditorium, but since i never heard of him, i blew it off... Then, a few years later, he was big enough where he played Milwaukee Summerfest for several years, which is less than an hour and a half from my house... Yep, didn’t see him there either since i’d end up going by myself since none of my lame-ass friends at the time were interested.... Then, i heard on the radio that fateful morning of him dying in a crash up at Alpine Valley.... I’ve been regretting it ever since....
Jamel_AKA_Jamal, I am a 58 year old man that grew up during to rise rock and roll. When I was 10, I was listening to bands like The Captain and Tennille, The Osmonds, The Bay City Rollers and Abba. HAHA That is until 7th grade when I saw KISS and have been into Rock-N-Roll to this day. I have seen every band from AC/DC to Frank Zappa. I was BLESSED to see Stevie Ray Vaughan 34 years ago this month Aug. 26th, 1987 in Oklahoma City. Out of all the bands I have witnessed, SRV impressed me the most! (PRINCE 2nd, too close to call) Almost 3 three to the day (Aug 27th, 1990) SRV died tragically in a helicopter crash. Such a great loss. It will take a long time for a prodigy to replace his talent. RIP SRV....FYI: Thanks for the good job you do! Keep up the good work! Peace and Love, TALLPAUL
Saw Stevie Ray live twice in the 80's and im SOOO glad I had that opportunity, I was a big fan before seeing him and an even bigger fan after. We went as a small group to see him and we were ALL blown away as was the audience in general.
The way Reese Wynans pounds out that keyboard reminds me of Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard. Particularly this one exceptionally wild special on Granada TV from 1964. If you ever want to see a musical instrument beaten into submission, an entire audience of teenagers whipped into a frenzy and adults completely scandalized, that was the show. I loved every single second of it. To let you know the quality, The Animals were a warm-up act. There should be clips from that show on youtube out there.
SRV was the GOAT on the guitar. It’s truly amazing what he could do with it. As great as he was when you hear his interviews he was truly a humble person. It’s not very often when you find such a great entertainer that’s as great of a human. RIP and the world unfortunately missed out on what was sure to be his best years.
I was lucky enough to see him play both times he toured Melbourne,Australia. What a lesson in musicianship and humility... I still miss him .. Blessed Be SRV 💜
SRV was/is one of the Top 5 G.O.A.T.S! .. I can not EVEN begin to imagine today the sounds of music coming from him, J.H. , J.J. and J.M had they all lived. Legends! True legends!
I seen him in the first concert he did in Southern California. He played for an hour with his band, and while they took a break he stayed on stage and did five songs on acoustical guitar sitting on a stool with a single spotlight overhead...with his band rejoining him as the last acoustic song tapered into a complete next set that lasted for 50 more minutes, then 2 encores.... phenomenal...just phenomenal.
I've lost count how many times I've spilled my morning coffee on myself while listening to SRV on my way to work. I can't help but play the air guitar as I drive. Been doing it for thirty years, and have yet to actually drink an entire cup. Usually end up wearing some of it.
I saw SRV and his band play at the Astro Hall in Houston Texas, around 86, 87 ... It was a New Years eve Show. His younger brother's band was the opening Band ( Jimmy Don Von and the Cold Cuts ). The show started at 8pm, And was supposed to be over at 2am. But Stevie didn't want to stop playing, And just kept on playing, Later his younger brothers band came back on stage, And both bands just Jammed out all the night. I think I left at around 4am, And they were still playing. Awesome show I will never forget.
What you see in Stevie's playing is his generous heart. He truly gave of himself every time he played! It's obvious that he wanted everyone to feel good about spending their hard earned money to see his show!
I saw him in 87 at Meriwether post pavilion in Columbia Maryland. And then again in 1989 at the capitol centre with Jeff Beck.The dude blew me away. To this day I have not seen a better live performer. Love your videos keep up the good work!👍🏽
RE: My previous statement about how it takes much much much much much much much much more skill and a God given talent to perform rock vs rap and/or hip-hop. I rest my case. Stick a fork in it. And drop the mic.😎👉🤙
I noticed this video was recorded in March 1987. I saw Stevie Ray Vaughan live at the Ohio State Fair a few months later and I had a second row seat. Hearing SRV live was absolutely mind blowing.
i seen him in montreal spectrum,august '84 was a small venue like a couple hundred ppl and i sat 20 feet away about ,...was young ,he was starters back then i recall super guitar works nice chill time ,and later in a fest outside i seen him when he arrived late cause his father died ,was outside ,a blast super time ,..whenever im under the clouds i listed to his guitarwork get me shining rip SRV and peace out to you also ,thanks for the great input ..stay healthy godspeed:)
SRV was a phenom. I'm 65 now and grew up in Austin. I must have seen him 30 or more times before he got big. Nothing better for me than catching the Fabulous Thunderbirds on Tuesday at the Rome Inn and then SRV at Antone's on Thursday and I lived within a mile of both clubs. I met and spoke with him several times; funny side note-to get an idea of his scale-start chatting with him and shake his hand-his hand wraps around yours like you are a little kid. Massive hands-longish fingers but incredibly muscled. Still miss him. His fluidity is what slays me
I was in a lot of his audiences. Saw him about 20 times give or take. I saw him once at the Lone Star Cafe in NYC, me sitting at the bar on a barstool, him no more than 10 feet away. Saw him on his last tour when he and Jeff Beck double billed. I do often wonder to myself what Stevie would be playing we’re here still alive. But I am grateful to have been fortunate to have seen him as much as I did.
HOW do Tommy Chris and Reece play rhythm for this man?? As a rhythm player, it blows my mind. They've totally mastered the art of predicting the unpredictable, and stay in the groove no matter what.
Stevie was an amazing musician. There are a lot of talented musicians out there but it's hard to match SRV. This makes me smile and laugh at the same. He was just fantastic . Truly missed .
I recently saw a SRV tribute concert, band by the name of Texas Flood. I unfortunately was not alive when Stevie was alive, but he is one of my largest influencers in my guitar playing. This boy can play both lead and rhythm at the same time! He was born into this world with a guitar in hand and instantly became a legend.
I’d witnessed SRV in Houston mid 70’s ish at a joint downtown off of Market Square, saw his undeniable talent. Then at Montreux, 1982, while I was stationed in Italy. It was there David Bowie took notice, enlisted him to play on the Let’s Dance record. Then back home in Houston at the (long gone) Coliseum with his brother Jimmy’s band, The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Introduced many to his music when he was still a regional act. His music never gets old.
Care to hear him in a completely different way? Give this a listen. The Vaughan Brothers - Tick Tock @ My personal favorite SRV song and definitely what the world is needing right now. Thank you for sharing your music journey with us! I'm LOVING IT! XOXO
Telephone Song & Long Way from Home are 2 tracks off of Family Style. 2 favs & really good songs he did with Jimmie Vaughan. On "Brothers" they're trading guitar licks back & forth taking the guitar from each other. It's really cool!!❤🎸🎶❤🎸🎶❤🎸🎶Love SRV😗😗😗
💣....And there it is!!🎸🔥 I've been binging your SRV reactions for at least an hour now, waiting for the moment he slung that guitar around just to see the look on your face....and yeah, it goes without saying we ALL had that same look the first time J!! 🤯

"Love Struck" and you think Stevie is rockin' out, then he goes into "Rude Mood" and you realize he was just warming up with a slow tune. 😵
This shit is transcendent.
Gonna need a bigger like button if you keep playing SRV.
It needs to change to purple from being hit so many times.
@@Deadwood1919 Stevie beleived the color purple had healing properties.
SRV is absolutely one of my favorite artists of all time. But Double Trouble(Tommy, Chris and Reese) have always been so underrated. The fact that they could just play with Stevie so flawlessly was just amazing.
I really want Jamel to check out the live version of "Cold Shot" from Austin City Limits. It's an example of a song where the best solo in the tune is not played on the guitar, it's played on the Hammond organ by Reese Wynans.
Yes the rest of his band rarely gets any recognition.
Truth
This is the same with Billy Strings.
Billy is a master, so creative but his band is absolutely amazing and the fly with him and BMFS can shred, Bluegrass to Death Metal.
They recorded on their own without him as Arc Angels ( Arc for Austin Recording Complex) cannot recall who played guitar for them
I think it was Clapton who said he never runs dry. His leads never got repetitious, just flowing creativity. Miss you SRV. Thanks for sharing the video my friend. ✌️
What Stevie's actually playing on "Rude Mood" sounds clearer on the studio album & the jam is an Olympic feat. He's playing the lead scale from the low E but picking a _second_ high octave scale on the B/E strings simultaneously, crossing the full width of the neck with each stroke - back & forth and _in between each picked note._ That requires superhuman speed & machine-like perfection on the right hand. If you sit down with a Stevie tab book, you see what a creative genius he really was.
I'm currently trying to learn guitar. This is insane!!! I can't even begin to imagine how someone can do that!
Yep, I bought my SRV tab books, studied his Guitar Player tabs, worked hard to learn his style many years ago. I absolutely could not begin to do it correctly. Stevie was a gift from heaven who had incomparable skills. I'm so sad to this day that he is no longer with us.

Guitar players get better as they get older. I wonder what we missed out on.

This is in the second year of his sobriety I believe-Pretty amazing

Still such a sad loss the world needs Stevie!!!!
I wasn't there, but I did see him on July 1st of that year in Mansfield, MA. He was so good that night, it was terrifying.
Wasn’t at this particular show but I saw him in June of 87 in NYC @ pier 84. Best show ever, Gregg Allman opened for him.
I was lucky enough to see him play both times he toured Melbourne,Australia. What a lesson in musicianship and humility... I still miss him .. Blessed Be SRV 💜
It gets no better. I saw Stevie live and it is mind blowing to see this guitar God perform.

The show started at 8pm, And was supposed to be over at 2am. But Stevie didn't want to stop playing, And just kept on playing, Later his younger brothers band came back on stage, And both bands just Jammed out all the night. I think I left at around 4am, And they were still playing. Awesome show I will never forget.
What you see in Stevie's playing is his generous heart. He truly gave of himself every time he played! It's obvious that he wanted everyone to feel good about spending their hard earned money to see his show!
Can you please do “Couldn’t Stand the Weather?”. I’ve been asking for many months 😆
I second it!
Yes please and thank you!
I saw SRV 10-12 times. Unreal to see such talent in person! One of the real guitar legends!
I saw him in 87 at Meriwether post pavilion in Columbia Maryland. And then again in 1989 at the capitol centre with Jeff Beck.The dude blew me away. To this day I have not seen a better live performer. Love your videos keep up the good work!👍🏽
I get choked up listening to SRV. Little Wing slays me every time. That dude shredded.
Stevie was a performer as well as a player and that is rare! He kills.
RE: My previous statement about how it takes much much much much much much much much more skill and a God given talent to perform rock vs rap and/or hip-hop.
I rest my case. Stick a fork in it.
And drop the mic.😎👉🤙
It's absolutely does. Everyone should honestly know that. It's not the same thing
What a treat! THANK YOU! Lovely rocking way to start my day!
Good grief how they could bring it live!! Man Jamal, thank you brother for sending out the Good MOJO with hot sauce like Stevie Ray!!! 😎
SRV,a God given talent,and musical genius.♥️
He also did Rude Mood....on a 12 string acoustic on MTV Unplugged. He was not of this earth. Thanks for posting; love the reactions!
I noticed this video was recorded in March 1987. I saw Stevie Ray Vaughan live at the Ohio State Fair a few months later and I had a second row seat. Hearing SRV live was absolutely mind blowing.
SVR just took everyone to church 😎
i seen him in montreal spectrum,august '84 was a small venue like a couple hundred ppl and i sat 20 feet away about ,...was young ,he was starters back then i recall super guitar works nice chill time ,and later in a fest outside i seen him when he arrived late cause his father died ,was outside ,a blast super time ,..whenever im under the clouds i listed to his guitarwork get me shining rip SRV and peace out to you also ,thanks for the great input ..stay healthy godspeed:)
SRV was a phenom. I'm 65 now and grew up in Austin. I must have seen him 30 or more times before he got big. Nothing better for me than catching the Fabulous Thunderbirds on Tuesday at the Rome Inn and then SRV at Antone's on Thursday and I lived within a mile of both clubs. I met and spoke with him several times; funny side note-to get an idea of his scale-start chatting with him and shake his hand-his hand wraps around yours like you are a little kid. Massive hands-longish fingers but incredibly muscled. Still miss him. His fluidity is what slays me
Most reactors play these type songs but SRV could play a completely different type of music like Riviera Paradise. How about doing it Jamel.
I just finished watching video of him doing it in Austin. Vaughantastic!!!
A favorite of mine. Stevie and Reese's sound sets such a mood. Great song.
Legends Never Die 💐RIP SRV 🙏🏼
I was in a lot of his audiences. Saw him about 20 times give or take. I saw him once at the Lone Star Cafe in NYC, me sitting at the bar on a barstool, him no more than 10 feet away. Saw him on his last tour when he and Jeff Beck double billed. I do often wonder to myself what Stevie would be playing we’re here still alive. But I am grateful to have been fortunate to have seen him as much as I did.
HOW do Tommy Chris and Reece play rhythm for this man?? As a rhythm player, it blows my mind. They've totally mastered the art of predicting the unpredictable, and stay in the groove no matter what.
Stevie was an amazing musician. There are a lot of talented musicians out there but it's hard to match SRV. This makes me smile and laugh at the same. He was just fantastic . Truly missed .
Stevie and the boys knew how to boogie! THE BEST!!
I recently saw a SRV tribute concert, band by the name of Texas Flood. I unfortunately was not alive when Stevie was alive, but he is one of my largest influencers in my guitar playing. This boy can play both lead and rhythm at the same time! He was born into this world with a guitar in hand and instantly became a legend.
Texas Flood is fantastic. You could swear the dude is SRV reincarnated.
I’d witnessed SRV in Houston mid 70’s ish at a joint downtown off of Market Square, saw his undeniable talent. Then at Montreux, 1982, while I was stationed in Italy. It was there David Bowie took notice, enlisted him to play on the Let’s Dance record. Then back home in Houston at the (long gone) Coliseum with his brother Jimmy’s band, The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Introduced many to his music when he was still a regional act. His music never gets old.
I don't know what to say oh, Mister Stevie Ray Vaughan welcome to the world of a true guitarist. Lovett my brother
Bravo! Stevie's on fire. 🔥And look at him dancing too. Cheers from Canada
Jamal, I saw SRV & DT in February of 1987, just a bit over a month before this recording. It changed me for life. They were phenomenal!
Care to hear him in a completely different way? Give this a listen. The Vaughan Brothers - Tick Tock @ My personal favorite SRV song and definitely what the world is needing right now. Thank you for sharing your music journey with us! I'm LOVING IT! XOXO
Oh man, it's so incredible what he did, and double trouble was the PERFECT band for him to play with 😍
First comment, first like! I really don't care, a J aka J vid, with SRV, is cool with me! Love yer stuff, brother!
Keep Stevie coming.
Telephone Song & Long Way from Home
are 2 tracks off of Family Style. 2 favs & really good songs he did with Jimmie Vaughan. On "Brothers" they're trading guitar licks back & forth taking the guitar from each other. It's really cool!!❤🎸🎶❤🎸🎶❤🎸🎶Love SRV😗😗😗
The story goes that SRV would Super Glue the calluses back to his fingers when they wore off!🤪
💣....And there it is!!🎸🔥 I've been binging your SRV reactions for at least an hour now, waiting for the moment he slung that guitar around just to see the look on your face....and yeah, it goes without saying we ALL had that same look the first time J!! 🤯
he s simply THE BEST!
I was 21 years old when stevie Ray Vaughn died he was one of the best blues players of all time
Completely clean & sober here. It's coming up on 31 years (in 17 days) and I still l cannot believe he's gone.
I am in awe of how quick his hands are on "Rude Mood". I can't imagine playing that fast and hitting that many notes without a single dud among them.
Jamal...love ya, man - your reaction vids are the best
This man Stevie was a God send to us while he was hear...Ty brotha
saw stevie front row center at the pier. saw him with jeff beck at the garden they did superstition together. saw him in front row center in a double bill with swing legend benny goodman . george benson played with both at avery fisher hall at lincoln center

@@blktauna ps at avery fisher george benson and stevie stoped playinbg for the briefest of pauses so my brother could get a picture with his then hi tech 35 mm camera
My biggest regret in life was missing Stevie live at the bottom line when I could have gotten tickets... For $15
@@mdanam another new yorker i miss the bottom line
The world needs more SRV fans and needs more of SRV's message. The man didn't even like to say bad things about other people.
Hey Jamel 😀you're doing a great job! Thank you and ✌☮
LOVE the message on your hoodie and thank you for doing this reaction
