Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me . I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤
I'll stick with SRV but I have yet to hear the GREAT Jeff Beck playing it. I have been binging on Jeff since he died and I have gotten to that one yet. Love the way Jeff mentored Tal Wilkenfeld and the interaction with in her breakout concert 2007 Crossroads.
Srv BUTCHERED little wing, it's supposed to be gentle, SRV just ham fisted it with overused tired blues licks, and here, double trouble didn't even try to play the correct drum or bass parts. Go check out hendrix playing voodoo child at Woodstock.
Prepare to be absolutely blown away SRV. He was an absolute genius with the guitar and those words are not nearly adequate to do him proper homage. Taken from us far, far too early. He should be talked about and celebrated far more than he is. RIP SRV. You are still sorely missed 🤘🏻🇬🇧🖤
I saw Stevie Ray Vaughan play at Alpine Valley, Wisconsin the night before he died in a helicopter crash (1990). He was touring with Eric Clapton, and it was one of the best experiences ever! Stevie Ray thrilled the crowd to no end. When Clapton took the stage afterwards, it was just a bonus! It still hurts to think of that horrible, very preventable tragedy.
We were there too a lot of tears shed driving all the way back to Ohio . We were also thankful the rest of a great bill including Robert Cray and headliner Eric Clapton (with guests Buddy Guy ,Hubert Sumlin ) closing out the show doing "Sweet Home Chicago" survived the tragedy
@@EarlRice-g2u ..... You must have seen the Sunday night show. I was there on Saturday night. Jeff Healy came out during Clapton's encore and played Crossroads with him. It was amazing!
Stevie's version of Tin Pan Alley is so good that I am sure the creator was one of the first to greet Stevie in heaven and congratulate him on improving it from its original. The best version of this is the live rendition featuring another Texas Blues guitarist as it showcases Stevie's vocals a bit more. His Lenny song is another amazing track as it is undeniable how much passion and love he put into not just writing that song but performing it as well. Everything about a man who has traveled the wrong path... was able to correct himself to live a better life and be rewarded by sharing his good fortune with the love of his life is wrapped up in that one track.
“I love the bassist. He’s just looking.” Well, actually, he’s watching for a cue from Stevie letting him know it is time to continue to the next section of the song. Stevie would improvise a lot when he was playing. Sometimes a quick solo section would go for eight bars, and other times he would continue for 16 or 24 bars. It depended how he felt in the moment and how he liked what he had currently come up with. A lot of the time solos are kind of mapped out and he would play something similar every time they played a song or section of a song, and other times he would improvise more and change a lot of what he played. The band members developed some nonverbal communication skills to let the rest of the band know when they were going to complete their solo section and move on to the next section, or pass the solo over to the other guy. After Reese joined the band on keyboards and piano you will see his cues are very, very obvious. He, too, would take silos of varying lengths depending on his mood and feel, etc,, and when he was ready to pass it back to Stevie you will see him raise his arm for the last bar or two in order to indicate he’s about to finish up and give it back to Stevie. Lots of bands that do stuff like that will have their own shorthand methods of letting each other know when it is time to progress. So in this case, Tommy is aware of how long the section might be, and also how long to extend it for if it goes past that, and thus when to start watching for a cue. They won’t come randomly. They all know that it’ll be multiples of the same number of bars in order to make things sound “proper.” The second time they did the TV show Austin City Limits is with Reese, and you can see them giving each other cues many times throughout the show.
It's amazing how precise and clean Stevie's playing was despite the fact he used such heavy gauge strings. He primarily played with .13 gauge strings. His hands were incredibly strong and he could manipulate and bend those strings almost effortlessly. The guy wasn't human.
Stevie bent those strings like they were nothing yet he actually used the thickest strings available and somehow still broke them, enormously strong hands
I have enjoyed your reactions to my all time favorite Stevie Ray Vaughan. Taken to soon & so very missed. You definitely showed an appreciation of his amazing talent & mad skills. You may also want to know he was a kind, humble & generous soul as well.
Your observations Bisscute about Stevie pouring his soul into his playing were dead on. There's a song that he did with his brother Jimmy called Hard to Be and in the very beginning you hear Stevie saying, "Roll (the tape) and I'll just FEEL something" which is exactly why you noticed the bassist Tommy Shannon always looking at him because Stevie was always playing whatever he felt for another who-knows-how-many bars so Tommy would looking to Stevie for his queue to move on to the next stage of the song. To me, that last part of the feedback when he's bending the strings was like he was making love to it, like, I've got you baby, feel me!
The guitar tricks he does in the song Texas Flood are amazing. He was a legend taken way too soon, 34 years old when he died in a helicopter crash. Rest in Peace SRV.
just weeks before he turned 36 and 4 years sober... and made a beautiful speech at Capitol Theater in 1985 his song LIFE WITHOUT YOU. Beat performance EVER!! RIP💔SRV🎸
@rickjohnsoh please. Leave it. Mate, my country has produced probably 15 out of the best 20 guitarists in history but even i know nobody comes close to SRV and its gonna take something special to change that. On this my country has the quatity with clapton, beck, page, blackmore and im not gonna bore you with anymore. But even Clapton said he was in awe of SRV. Nobody comes close then, before or since. Even this souless math rock thing and your polyphia thing is meh. Its all just dry technique. It doesnt have the musicality of this. Its not even in the same conversation.
@@Darrenski Absolutely...Music is about feeling not just who has faster fingers or whatever...SRV had the whole package....great showmanship as well...
Stevie was a freaking wizard. To think he hammered and bent these notes with 12 gage strings. I invite you to try that gage on your guitar and see how long it takes for your finger tips to bleed. Just incredible.
Stevie was an absolutely open channel, if you can check out the whole concert Montreux 1985…but they’ve made a cut of Tin Pan Alley w/guest Johnny Copeland and you can see SRV’s hands moving when he’s gripping the strings *to not play* and they move as he sings. Also he stuns JC with an incredible moment after which he actually has to recover.
The 4 greatest live guitar session songs are, this song, Stevie does Texas Flood, live at El Mocambo, Eddie Van Halen live concert Eruption - 1986, and Tommy Emanuel live version Classical Gas, acoustic guitar, on stage with another guitar player....who is just sitting in awe! Those 4 songs live, you'll never need to hear another!
Bisscute Good Day To you. Awesome Reaction. I Hope you can Do A Reaction To Stevie Ray Vahan At The Capitol Theater 1985 "Life With Out You" Straight out Awesome Performance! Be cool stay safe!!
When the masters of guitar get together, the all bow down to SRV. The Devil first went to Georgia to steal a soul, then he went to Texas to learn to play guitar. RIP SRV
I love your constant smile as Stevie takes you to a place of awe. He stands on the MT Rushmore of all time greatest guitarists along with JImi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen. The fourth member is debatable. Please check out Stevie playing Texas Flood live at El Mocambo or a super change of pace with Riviera Paradise. You will see playing and showmanship that is second to none. ❤🤘
I saw Hendrix at the University of Alabama in the spring of 1969. Was a big fan, still am all these many years later. SRV, such a master of this cover, an amazing rendition. Jimi would be proud of him. Who does it better? Good heavens, who can say! Love them both!! I wager it is still debated in "Music Heaven" where they both are now. Bliss and blessings to them for enriching us all!
When I was a kid, Stevie Ray Vaughn was all over our state…were from Texas…he was considered a musical icon…they would play him on the radio a lot…he did shows here and kids would talk about them the next day in school. They called him..”Texas favorite son.”
Dayum Bis! You’re officially my favorite reactor for your reaction to this song alone! You got this from beginning to end and it’s just so great to hear your insights!
I feel bad for saying this, but my all time favorite SRV song is another Hendrix song he covered called Little Wing. It's not to say his original songs are bad, but he took an already beautiful song, rewrote it as an instrumental, and made it one of the best instrumentals I have ever heard. Another great blues guitarist to check out is Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Had a big hit with Blue on Black (you can really hear a lot of SRV influence), and most people would suggest it. I would say Aberdeen or Was by him are also awesome.
You have what it takes. Become one with your guitar. Eat with it, sleep with it, push yourself hard. SRV used heavy strings and high action. Always be a good person and never seek fame, just do what you love with all your heaart and soul. You will share his spark with others. Godspeed.
SRV Voodoo Child !!!! This version is from Austin City Limits. We had the Tape. Watched it many times then we finally noticed that Stevie started playing "Look At Little Sister" with one guitar and finished with another. He broke a string and the switch was so smooth that we didn't even notice.
Chris "Whipper" Layton on drums and Tommy Shannon (ex-Johnny Winter) on bass comprised "Double Trouble," making them + SRV one of the top-10 best ever 3-man RnR groups. In 1985, a keyboardist, Reese Wynans was brought on-board; another quantum level of sound and energy was thus added to this band!
I got to see that guitar. The original Stevie had several but that old girl was his steady date on stage. I stood by his statue along the river in Austin. One of the best ever. Truly.
Exactly right. Both versions are great. The first SRV song I heard was “Cold Shot”. There was an old PBS show called “Color Sounds” that would show videos with the lyrics on screen. Different parts would be highlighted; nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc. Cold Shot is the one I remember the most.
The dude is the 🐐 goat! He took this song and made his own. Hendrix would even agree. And what really makes SRV so special is he used the thickest gauge strings and bent them like chicken wire. It gave him holes in his fingers tips he'd fill with super glue just so he could play the next show without much bleeding. Loved the pain, though. Those stink faces he made? 50/50 pain and pleasure. SRV didn't just play with passion. He played like he trying to strangle and lovingly caress that guitar at the same time, making it scream for more! 😍
SRV was taken from us far too soon! He performed at Alpine Valley Music Theater and it was foggy that morning. Eric Clapton was supposed to be on that helicopter but he gave it to SRV who had another gig to go to. So sad it happened in my state. Hendrix did the original version, SRV was just soooo gifted! He played with so much heart and soul! You should also watch SRV - Little Wing
Most people don’t about SRV’s contributions to human biology and neuroscience. Researchers have proven it’s impossible to listen to Stevie’s guitar without making a stank face.
One of my all-time favorite guitar players! Thanks for listening to this! Great three man band! Please listen to his song Rivera Paradise! It'll blow you away! 😊
The guitar he is playing in this video was a gift from his wife in 1980 for his birthday. It sold at auction, after his death, for $623,500. One of the top ten highest priced sales to date for guitars.
Stevie Ray lived and breathed guitar. I don't care what anybody says, his death was the greatest loss to the music industry ever. I love watching him perform but I get pi___d every time when I remember he's gone------still, it sure is fun watching YOU react to ANY video------you are adorable💜
SRV was so great.I saw him play a year before he died in a smaller place,ad he was so much fun to see and hear,and Tommy on bass and Chris on drums were great as well.There are two more guitar players you might enjoy.Robin Trower and Frank Marino,both as good as they come.Robin Trower's Daydream live is a good one and Frank Marino doing I'm A king Bee from 1978 Midnight Special or It's Begun To Rain from his Live at the Agora concert are very good.Thank you for this!

Stevie didn't play the guitar he WAS the guitar,an extension of his soul.... rest in peace brother Stevie
Him and Gary Moore both, they were FORCES.
Jimi Hendrix to SRV be like this guitar is your life
His version of "Little Wing" is probably one of the best things I've ever listened to. It's completely amazing.
jimi is better, without the lryics it's not the same
I'd say Jeff Beck did better than either...
I'll stick with SRV but I have yet to hear the GREAT Jeff Beck playing it. I have been binging on Jeff since he died and I have gotten to that one yet. Love the way Jeff mentored Tal Wilkenfeld and the interaction with in her breakout concert 2007 Crossroads.
@@oldmanghost219 Tal is amazing!
Srv BUTCHERED little wing, it's supposed to be gentle, SRV just ham fisted it with overused tired blues licks, and here, double trouble didn't even try to play the correct drum or bass parts.
Go check out hendrix playing voodoo child at Woodstock.
SRV ~ 🎸🐐 The goatiest goat in all of goatness
**Texas Flood at El Macambo**
**Life Without You at Capitol Theater**
You are so right. The band played so tightly together. One heart beat , one rhythm and one soul. Stevie was a guitar God.
He plays the same song with the guitar behind his back he was a true legend
Prepare to be absolutely blown away SRV. He was an absolute genius with the guitar and those words are not nearly adequate to do him proper homage. Taken from us far, far too early. He should be talked about and celebrated far more than he is. RIP SRV. You are still sorely missed 🤘🏻🇬🇧🖤
🤠 Well said! 👍🎸
Every time Stevie played a song it was like it was the first time it was ever played. Never the same twice.

I remember that night as well. I was shaken and shocked. A genius taken too early. It's unimaginable what else he would've done.
Could check "Couldn't stand the weather " you'll hear the groovy side of SRV
Even Jimi Hendrix would approve of this cover.
I am sure Jimi would because that's the kind of guy he was.
stevie ray version is better inmy opinion
That's Jimi Hendrix's crybaby (Wah Wah) pedal that SRV used. Hendrix's dad gave it to SRV.
@@jamesknox7171 Actually SRV got the wah wah pedal from his brother, Jimmy, who got it from Hendrix.
SRV brought Voodoo child into the 80s. Can you imagine what he could have done if he hadn’t got on that helicopter?
"Texas Flood live at El Mocambo" is an absolute must watch. SRV is the GOAT. RIP Stevie.
what he said
she watched it already
He’s outstanding, but definitely not the goat. Maybe of blues guitar, but beyond that … uh, no.
@@ron88303 Who is better maybe Eddie and Randy but that's about it
Listen to “Lenny” for a very different side of SRV. No roughness, just amazing depth of feeling and virtuousity.
“If I don’t see you in this world I’ll see you on the next one, don’t be late!” Damn. 😢
SRV, one of the all time greats!
Greatest guitarist in history! RIP.
Fave part of the video is still @8:59 when SRV looks up and out to see if anyone is still alive.
The greatest guitar player ever!
Stevie Ray is the GOAT!
Still the best concert I ever saw. RIP SRV. So great!

Stevie Ray = Guitar Wizard, When he’s playing all the other Great Guitarist Watch 🎸
Rest in Power SRV. Arguably the best guitarist to have ever lived. This world lost you way too quickly.
I saw this live at Austin City Limits...hands down the greatest Blues guitarist ever.
He is amazing
No doubt he's amazing 😮🎉❤ his band is called double 2:27 trouble .
SRV......R.I.P.......LEGEND.
yes stevie was the man
Saw him play live twice, two of the highlights of my life -- RIP SRV.
I got to see him play at the Illinois stair fair not long before his passing. Amazing guitar virtuoso.
Was that the show with the lightning in the background? If so I was at that one.
srv best guitar player ever!
It's amazing how precise and clean Stevie's playing was despite the fact he used such heavy gauge strings. He primarily played with .13 gauge strings. His hands were incredibly strong and he could manipulate and bend those strings almost effortlessly. The guy wasn't human.
Dude probably has "The Pick Of Destiny"
Stevie bent those strings like they were nothing yet he actually used the thickest strings available and somehow still broke them, enormously strong hands
I can’t even imagine having that kind of talent. All I know is there is one heck of a guitar concert going on in heaven.
You can like someone's version better than another it isn't a crime!
I have enjoyed your reactions to my all time favorite Stevie Ray Vaughan. Taken to soon & so very missed. You definitely showed an appreciation of his amazing talent & mad skills. You may also want to know he was a kind, humble & generous soul as well.
One of the very few guitarists who could do Hendrix justice . . .
Stevie was lost way too fast. RIP.😔 He was an absolute magician❤

SRV has got style. the way he plays, carries himself, how he dresses. dude just oozes style.
Right? he is amazing ❤
The guitar tricks he does in the song Texas Flood are amazing. He was a legend taken way too soon, 34 years old when he died in a helicopter crash. Rest in Peace SRV.
just weeks before he turned 36 and 4 years sober... and made a beautiful speech at Capitol Theater in 1985 his song LIFE WITHOUT YOU. Beat performance EVER!! RIP💔SRV🎸
No Body played the electric guitar better than Stevie, even BB King said so. RIP Stevie......
SRV's idol...Jimi Hendrix
Beck, Page, Iommi, Blackmore, Young to name few who are up there or maybe above SRV
Jerry Garcia!

Life by the drop was 1 of his last songs he did before he passed.. must have a listen..😊
ABSOLUTELY 💯
The GOAT! RIP S R V!
I saw him play live at the Santa Cruz Civic in the 80s. He’s a legend
Voodoo Child is a Jimi Hendrix composition that Stevie Ray Vaughan does to perfection.
The GOAT.
Life without you live from the Capitol theater.
Stevie was a freaking wizard. To think he hammered and bent these notes with 12 gage strings. I invite you to try that gage on your guitar and see how long it takes for your finger tips to bleed. Just incredible.
Stevie was an absolutely open channel, if you can check out the whole concert Montreux 1985…but they’ve made a cut of Tin Pan Alley w/guest Johnny Copeland and you can see SRV’s hands moving when he’s gripping the strings *to not play* and they move as he sings. Also he stuns JC with an incredible moment after which he actually has to recover.
Noted, thank you ❤
The drummer just crushes it in this.
SRV making that guitar cry at the end was 100% passion and soul.
Stevie is the pinnacle of guitar playing.
He is the GOAT !
Stevie is one of the top 3 guitar players of all time,no doubt in my mind
This has to be one of the best tributes to JIM HENDRIX , sadly both are no longer with us .But their music lives on !!
@The_Biss_cute Hello dear Lady, thank you for liking my reply! This brings back so many memories for me of the legend that is Jimi Hendrix xx
React to his song Look At Little Sister from the same concert in Austin, Texas. You WILL NOT be disappointed !
I can't decide what was better, Stevie Ray Vaughn, or Bisscute's presentation.
SRV is the goat
I agree! I like SRV’s version better. But Hendrix and SRV are two of my favorite guitarists.
Stevie Ray !!! Yeah hahaha!!!!! He was a Cool dude 😎

When Stevie passed away…even my dad cried…
Ya must watch 3rd Stone From The Sun, Stevie's version on the Jimi Hendrix song. Jim
An artist that was taken from us way too soon. Imo the greatest guitar player ever. The song Crossfire is probably my favorite of his.
SRV was so great.I saw him play a year before he died in a smaller place,ad he was so much fun to see and hear,and Tommy on bass and Chris on drums were great as well.There are two more guitar players you might enjoy.Robin Trower and Frank Marino,both as good as they come.Robin Trower's Daydream live is a good one and Frank Marino doing I'm A king Bee from 1978 Midnight Special or It's Begun To Rain from his Live at the Agora concert are very good.Thank you for this!
