This reactor hit the nail on the head when he said this is not just guitar playing it's storytelling. All the truly great told a story with their guitars
Ricky Hubbard here, thank you brother for playing one of the Goat's, Voodoo Child,is singing between his voice and the guitar back and forth is his definding monet how much he made the guitar talk back. Texas Version. I have only heard him miss 2 times in every song I have heard from him and I'm old now I been rocking Stevie for 40 years now until I'm out of here. Have a bless day Brother "SEMPER FI"DEVILDAWG
One of the best to EVER just pick up a guitar!!!!! Never ever sloppy, no mistakes! His Soul flows through the guitar and straight out of the amp. Amazing!
I've seen Stevie 4 times once with his brother Jimmie. I saw him at Alpine Valley Wisconsin August 1990 Saturday night show before his last show on Sunday then he was killed in the helicopter crash. I miss this man.. I have many many memories... Jimmie and Stevie playing a double neck guitar together performing Pipeline... check it out it's around here somewhere
Never saw them together so I’m jealous of your experiences! I saw him twice, once with Robert Plant and once with Jeff Beck. I miss him too! I also saw his brother perform twice and even met him at a show.
Thank God this video was shot as it was early on as SRV was breaking. The El Mocambo in Toronto is not a big club....the fans that night saw a masterpiece that will live forever.
Every time a see a new reaction to this video I’m compelled to watch it. It brings me joy to see people witness this phenomenon performance by the greatest blues guitarist that ever existed on earth. Stevie is absolute royalty in my home state of Texas! This is before keyboardist Reese Wynans joined to make them SRV and Triple Trouble! Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland is another great one that you gotta watch!❤❤❤
"Stevie was an endless, open channel that music just poured out of. He made people who'd never touched a guitar in their life want to pick one up and start playing, and he made those of us who'd played live onstage with him before want to quit.".....................Eric Clapton.
I've never seen anyone else where the music just seemed to flow out of him. Straight from the heavens and through his body and out that guitar. He just lived blues music! I know most experts say Jimi's the greatest of all time but he was just a little before my time; SRV's the greatest I've ever seen live.
Stevie isn't an artist I have in my rotation 24/7, but every time I hear him play I just can't imagine anybody better. You can debate "well so and so does this better or that better" but if we're talking just straight up 10/10 no notes, SRV is Him.
I've said it many times, Stevie didn't plug into an amp he plugged into his soul - this is THE performance/song I'd put up against the Devil at the cross-roads! GOAT
You need to play his composition of “Riviera Paradise”, created in his genius mind because he could not read music yet beautiful music and gentle use of his guitar 🎸. RIP SRV I thought when I heard this on my CD I thought two people were playing guitars together and when I saw it was only one person, I am still always amazed by his talent.
Clicked on this so fast-this IS the pinnacle. The GOAT in all his glory. I don't know if there was a night where he did miss. His guitars were a part of him, a part of his body.
So many reactors here on youtube don't know what they're looking at. They know nothing about the guitar, wawa pedals, whammy bars, phrasing, tone, what skill is necessary to play behind the back and sing, his excellent voice and phrasing, or any number of different things when they watch SRV. It is quite refreshing to hear what you had to say during this video because it was obvious you know something about what you're seeing. That helps to make it an actual "reaction" video because you have enough knowledge to react instead of just saying, "wow! he's great. I'm blown away. yada yada yada". And since I was of the drummer persuasion, I don't know much about guitar playing. But I have learned a lot by watching these reaction videos because SOME of the folks do know what they're seeing. Well done! I appreciate you, man!
I was so lucky to have seen him live! I swear he and his guitar were spiritually connected. Stevie Ray was channeling that guitar's voice. Even Eric Clapton was in awe of him.
I saw him twice in concert one time was a smaller venue and i was standing right up against the stage, about a dozen feet away from him the whole night, it was an amazing experience.
You lucky dog, you! ... Never got to see Stevie Ray even once in my life. Was it because I was to busy buying up tickets and merch for the next Neil Diamond World Tour during the eighties? Seen Neil a total 22 x's ... 😎👍
Saw him in a tiny club at college before he "hit it big" for $3 COVER: SRO!! Couldn't MOVE or just about BREATHE in that place!!! HE WAS JUST SO GOOD!!! MASTER at his craft!! Wasn't a very big man - but, had BIG HANDS!!! SO LOVE HIS MUSIC!! Always told my husband: doesn't he make ya wanna jump on a table and dance in only leather hip boots? He always said: NO!!! But: YOU CAN!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Stevie had some SEXY BLUES on HIM!!! And: Hubby was a funny guy - miss him, LOTS!!! ENOY THIS WONDERFUL RABBIT HOLE of MUSIC, STEVEN!!! HUGS!
Saw SRV back in '80, '81, 82 at a place called Fitzgerald's in Houston about the same size as the El Macombo. He started out downstairs at the smaller showcase stage and that didn't last long lol. He quickly moved upstairs on the headliner stage! He was amazing! R.I.P SRV 🔥🤘✌
His soul came out inhis singing. But his entire being came out on the guitar strings. That's where this master his lived. His backing band new he was a legend in the making. And if you listen to the the moments betwen the notes, you CAN HEAR THE AMPLIFIER HUMMING as part of the overture. ❤ 🔥
Great reaction! SRV was a phenomenal talent, that only comes around once in a lifetime. I've seen this hundreds of times, and still can't help smiling afterwards. Keep up the good work, brother
Definitely a spiritual experience. That guitar is singing, whispering sweet nothings in your ear, swooning, swearing and screaming, you feel that shit in your soul.
This is my favorite live performance ever. And his Session studio duet with Albert King. Jimmy Page's solo during Stairway to Heaven on Song Remains the Same is another.
Peaks & Valleys, YES. This performance IS transcendental. He crosses so many styles in this, AND THEN REMEMBERS "This is a SHOW. So I should put in some showmanship, too."
In 1977, he finally stayed in Austin, Texas after visiting his big brother several times over a few years. Austin at that time had a hefty live-music-scene but it was also a semi-refugee center for musicians. Failures meet WannaBe's, Retirement-Counsellors, and a whole lot of those Failures and Flops were not accepting of their fate. "I'm gonna try again..." There years and years where Austin 300, then 500, 800 clubs were having 2-3 shows a night, with their music festivals drawing in 20,000 performers for those 2-week festivals. Stevie Ray arrived long before that, but there were still a core of 100-200+ extremely good guitarists who watched and studied each other. Shreds and licks were clearly not enough. "I need to develop showmanship skills-!" There were acrobatics far behind guitar-handling. There were storytellers, jugglers, back-flippers, wall-flippers. And some still do that. Jimmy Vaughn was a hot commodity guitarist, but Stevie realized, "To make it to his level or beyond, I need to do a lot more than play notes." That whole '70s-80s cadre of guitarists were trying to do the same.
Here's a 45-min concert by the two Del Castilos brothers and they're still working Austin... ruclips.net/video/P5X5ihCy4rg/видео.html The guitar battles start in earnest at about the 2min 30sec portion and it goes on and on. But the point remains: Stevie Ray shined the light on Austin's guitarists and music scene. And that light was HOT with "showmanship."
There was only about 150 people witnessed this amazing performance, as the El Macombo is tiny little blues club on Danforth Ave in Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 although I didn't witness this performance. I did see SRV at an arena performance in Oshawa Ontario Canada several years later. RIP SRV.😞
Thanks for this... not much that I can add to the other comments.. the soul and talent may never be equaled.... appreciate your reaction and look forward to more...
I was a student in Austin in the late 70's and early 80's. I was at a house party and someone I knew came rushing in and said I had to go see this "guy" playing at the "Rome Inn" literally just down the street from the party. I was making good time with my intended 'paramour and was loathe to leave my lady behind, but I made the decision to cut my losses and go see what he was talking about. She decided (somehow) to go with me. A minimal cover charge and some of the best Texas blues I had ever encountered. I was flabbergasted and it remains one of my most cherished memories from that time. Stevie didn't have ANY idea who I was when I talked to him (small club, no pretense) but he was still gracious and friendly. One of those "meet cute" stories. I almost married that girl.
I can not believe This is your first time. I’ve commented so frequently on this video Because I love seeing people amazed the way we were amazed in 83 It’s beyond music I was lucky enough to see him perform many times. I’m a Texas girl. So he’s in my heart. But the tone! The skill The unbelievable talent.
WOW!!! I loved every second of this reaction!!! SRV is my absolute all time favorite!!! And I hope you continue to check out his videos. Riveria Paradise from Austin 89 is beautiful!!! Definitely worth a watch. Thanks!!!
"Let's Go!!" Thank you for your work!! Good Lord almighty. Gotta give t to "Double Trouble." Amazing rhythm duo...keeping up with SRV's changes...Come on now! PPfffff. Cheers! 🍄🌲🍄✨💥🌈
My Guitar GOAT . I Was lucky enough to have seen him SRV in concert 4 times . ( Loved summer shows on The Pier in NYC in the 80's ! ) It's One of the perks of living in the NYC area , where you know every tour is going through it at some point 🙂
I really enjoy your reactions. Great job explaining the dynamics, phrasing, and all the nuances that not everyone would catch on our own. Love your enthusiasm and appreciation of this master class performance by SRV.
My friend Wally was at this show in Toronto. You can see him right at the beginning of this video. The show was simulcast on TV so I recorded it (VHS) for him.
SRV & Double Trouble -- one of the best-ever 3-man bands. Thought they might lose something when keyboardist Reese Wynans came aboard, but I was wrong -- the group took a quantum leap up in versatility, fullness, artistry. Que bueno!!!
On this recording in particular I always say... the drummer and bassist set the canvas... and Stevie fills it, painting a picture like Vincent Van Gogh, swirls, colors, abstract and pure....
I got to see him twice in my lifetime. Once at the State Fair Coliseum in Dallas and once when he just walked into a bar on 6th Street (the famous bar strip in Austin, TX of endless bar after bar) and just walk up to the band on the tiny stage and join in to play a couple of sets with them. And I can say, he ALWAYS poured his soul out to the audience through his playing and vocals. Both experiences were just indescribable in the level of energy that hit you wave after wave that came from his talent and stage presence. I cried all day and for several more the day they announced the crash and who all was okay after his last concert performance from the first time I heard of the crash because having grown up much of my childhood as an Air force brat, with his name not being mentioned as one of the ones being okay... My gut told me he wasn't. Later that afternoon when his death was officially announced, it almost broke me. The world lost such an epic wonder that day and so many would never realize it. It makes me so happy to see those too young to have had the opportunities I had to discover his magic in person, through those moments caught in time on video and audio and be able to appreciate it as much as some of us older people did when he was alive. Thank you for that. And to Stevie (RIP) and to the rest of Double Trouble.... Thank you gentlemen. Your gift to the music world is and always will be treasured and precious, and especially to those of us that loved it and were there from the beginning.
The best of the best right there. Any video from that performance is lit!! I saw Stevie, I believe it was the Couldn't Stand The Weather tour. Prob mid to late 80s and he was headlining. Big venue of about 30,000 and I didn't have great seats like some of these folks did in his early days but still mind-blowing experience. Just a coup things in case you weren't aware of yet; Stevie never learned how to read or write music. Everything is created through touch, hearing and imagination. Plus he uses the heaviest gauge strings they made at the time - and he still broke them frequently. I believe there's a song from this very show where he breaks a string while soloing and just finishes it minus a string that you can see flopping in the air. Then he and his crew-mate execute a flawless switch of guitars mid-song. If you didn't see it, you would never know it happened with just your ears. 🤘SRV🤘
@@setonhillstudios It's the kind of performance that if you own a guitar, it will either make you want to try harder, or, make you throw it out the window🤣
This was back when he was fighting his demons of drugs and alcohol. He got clean a few years before he died. One of the reasons he is sweating so profusely, besides playing with every bit of his soul, is that he was borderline overdosing on cocaine. And yet, this is one of the best live shows ever recorded! RIP to the GOAT.

This is as good as it gets!! UNBELIEVABLE! Rest In Peace SRV!
Don’t forget that Stevie used 13 gauge strings and tuned a half step flat, like Hendrix

SRV ~ 🎸🐐 The goatiest goat in all of goatness
Two of the greatest guitarists in this video.
Stevie Ray Vaughan and "Behind-the-back" Stevie Ray Vaughan.

This was July 1983. It was amazing show. the best I've ever saw
Very small venue in Canada. Wish I was there.

Imagine being at a small club, and seeing a performance of this caliber. I was lucky enough to see SRV twice, and he was amazing.
love how he channels Freddie and Albert throughout the song. and the vibrato on those railroad tracks for strings is just f'n incredible.
Click !!!!! He was a sweet sweet man. I saw him in a small blues club in Houston before he was mainstream 😢RIP SRV
Was it Fitzgerald's, Rockefellers, Bonton Room?😊🤘
@@lucasroth7922 yessssssss were you there ? Crazy times ! 🤯
Fitzgerald's
@@amicouvillionwilson1824 I was there many, many times so probably! I live in the Heights at that time.
I saw him at Fitz 🎸
You need to play his composition of “Riviera Paradise”, created in his genius mind because he could not read music yet beautiful music and gentle use of his guitar 🎸. RIP SRV
I thought when I heard this on my CD I thought two people were playing guitars together and when I saw it was only one person, I am still always amazed by his talent.
YESSSSS!!!!!❤
He's possessed - in a supernatural, gifted, spiritual kind of way. Once in a lifetime human being. 🙏💪🌈💕

Every night was one of those nights
He was the whole package
I was so lucky to have seen him live! I swear he and his guitar were spiritually connected. Stevie Ray was channeling that guitar's voice. Even Eric Clapton was in awe of him.
I saw him twice in concert one time was a smaller venue and i was standing right up against the stage, about a dozen feet away from him the whole night, it was an amazing experience.
What?! That is so amazing! Thanks for sharing! 🤯
My man, how does anything else compare? He was a gift to music lovers & his flavor was the best. Very, very fortunate these recordings exist.
I saw him 5 times ....he always brought it and then some
So awesome! 🔥
@@Soulreaver6 I saw him 2x after the Fitzgerald's days at Houston Colosseum with Jeff Beck! Same tour twice lol🔥🤘✌
You lucky dog, you! ... Never got to see Stevie Ray even once in my life. Was it because I was to busy buying up tickets and merch for the next Neil Diamond World Tour during the eighties? Seen Neil a total 22 x's ... 😎👍
That good old SRV grind comes from his TS8 Tube Screamer thru those Fender Twins and Dumble. Cannot be beaten...
Welcome to our Texas pride and joy 😊
"I got NO words" !! is right !! Great reaction.
Get that same look on my face every time I hear SRV
Saw him in a tiny club at college before he "hit it big" for $3 COVER: SRO!! Couldn't MOVE or just about BREATHE in that place!!! HE WAS JUST SO GOOD!!! MASTER at his craft!!

Fact: Stevie Ray Vaughn is the most talented musician that ever lived.
I can’t argue that one! 😁
I agree... On any instrument
My favorite vocal performance by Stevie is Ain't Gone N Give Up On Love live at Capitol Theater 1985.
Yes!!!!! I love that performance ❤
The Heart and Soul of Oak Cliff Texas.
Saw SRV back in '80, '81, 82 at a place called Fitzgerald's in Houston about the same size as the El Macombo. He started out downstairs at the smaller showcase stage and that didn't last long lol. He quickly moved upstairs on the headliner stage! He was amazing! R.I.P SRV 🔥🤘✌
I see SRV “Texas Flood” Live at El Mocambo, I hit Like before I even watch, because I *know*…
Haha 😂 True!!
I seen him in astin Texas I will never forget that night I cryd when he got killed
His timing…unreal!
Still listen to this man regularly. Broken hearted when the new of his death hit the radio.
SAME!!!
@Jude_196 I hear you loud and clear man!
The dude took his bow while playing behind his back! EPIC !
His soul came out inhis singing. But his entire being came out on the guitar strings. That's where this master his lived. His backing band new he was a legend in the making. And if you listen to the the moments betwen the notes, you CAN HEAR THE AMPLIFIER HUMMING as part of the overture. ❤ 🔥
Somehow Stevie does those wide bends and vibrato while playing .13’s! Dude had some amazingly strong hands and fingers. 🔥
I felt the same way the first time I heard him, completely blown away. What an absolute force of nature.
That performance was a Rollercoaster
I can’t think of any other guitarist in history that plays so effortlessly. He barely looks at the guitar.
The best ever....period
Stevie NEVER missed! 🤘🎸
Great reaction! SRV was a phenomenal talent, that only comes around once in a lifetime. I've seen this hundreds of times, and still can't help smiling afterwards. Keep up the good work, brother
Definitely a spiritual experience. That guitar is singing, whispering sweet nothings in your ear, swooning, swearing and screaming, you feel that shit in your soul.
No doubt about it!! 🔥🔥
Thanks for having enough self control to wait to watch it with us 😂
Epic performance, he had a great voice and superb guitar skills.
Haha 😂 It wasn’t easy!
Great reaction Steven! Stevie is truly Top Tier! Too bad he left us so early. Have a great day!
His song "Mary had a little lamb" LIVE at Austin city limits is incredible.
Steve Every night with SRV was always like this he was phenomenal. He used very heavy strings a very special set of 13's tuned at Eb
This is my favorite live performance ever. And his Session studio duet with Albert King.
Jimmy Page's solo during Stairway to Heaven on Song Remains the Same is another.
He is just amazing.
Riviera Paradise
We are fortunate he was so popular that all the recorded performances exist
Peaks & Valleys, YES. This performance IS transcendental. He crosses so many styles in this, AND THEN REMEMBERS "This is a SHOW. So I should put in some showmanship, too."

To me, he is the best. Hands down. My favorite song not only by him , but anyone, is his rendition of Jimi Hendrix's Little Wing. ❤️❤️❤️✌️
You need to see his warm up/sound check session before a show. The one where he is wearing a long jacket. Epic!
There was only about 150 people witnessed this amazing performance, as the El Macombo is tiny little blues club on Danforth Ave in Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 although I didn't witness this performance. I did see SRV at an arena performance in Oshawa Ontario Canada several years later.

Because I love seeing people amazed the way we were amazed in 83
It’s beyond music
I was lucky enough to see him perform many times.
I’m a Texas girl. So he’s in my heart.
But the tone!
The skill
The unbelievable talent.
So incredible! ❤️
He always performed like this
His Austin City Limits appearances are great + great sound quality!
SRV was AMAZING
WOW!!! I loved every second of this reaction!!! SRV is my absolute all time favorite!!! And I hope you continue to check out his videos. Riveria Paradise from Austin 89 is beautiful!!! Definitely worth a watch. Thanks!!!

Thanks for sharing! I truly appreciate it!
the first time he played there, he got booed off the stage so this time he melted their minds.
It's impossible to not have a stank face (in the best way) when SRV hits certain notes and bends. 😊
I remember back when I was missing Jimi...and I heard SRV...and I thought...Is this Jimi? Another talent taken from us too soon.
"Tightrope",LIVE 1989
Superlative.
The best of the best right there. Any video from that performance is lit!! I saw Stevie, I believe it was the Couldn't Stand The Weather tour. Prob mid to late 80s and he was headlining. Big venue of about 30,000 and I didn't have great seats like some of these folks did in his early days but still mind-blowing experience. Just a coup things in case you weren't aware of yet; Stevie never learned how to read or write music. Everything is created through touch, hearing and imagination. Plus he uses the heaviest gauge strings they made at the time - and he still broke them frequently. I believe there's a song from this very show where he breaks a string while soloing and just finishes it minus a string that you can see flopping in the air. Then he and his crew-mate execute a flawless switch of guitars mid-song. If you didn't see it, you would never know it happened with just your ears. 🤘SRV🤘
So EPIC!! What a beast! This performance is absolutely mindblowing!
@@setonhillstudios It's the kind of performance that if you own a guitar, it will either make you want to try harder, or, make you throw it out the window🤣
unbelievable! so glad I was able to see him live back in the day.
That’s awesome!! 🔥🔥
NOBODY SOUNDS OR PLAYS LIKE HIM
He played better behind his back than most guitarists play in front.
💯
Now you have to watch Lenny from the same El Mocambo show.
Check out Stevie Ray Vaughan and jimmy Vaughan play “pipeline”

Meanest Blues Duet ever imo = just fierce!
I was privileged to see his final two shows in Fargo and then at Alpine Valley the night of that horrible helicopter crash.
Oh wow! That’s wild! 😳 Thanks for swinging by and sharing!
I’m proud Stevie recorded this in my home town Toronto in a bar I have lost myself a few times. Too bad I was there the wrong time…
actual greatness
I’ve heard it said that SRV’s guitar wasn’t plugged into an amp, it was plugged into his soul. That has to be the truth
💯
This was back when he was fighting his demons of drugs and alcohol. He got clean a few years before he died. One of the reasons he is sweating so profusely, besides playing with every bit of his soul, is that he was borderline overdosing on cocaine. And yet, this is one of the best live shows ever recorded! RIP to the GOAT.
A number of great performances from the 70’s and 80’s were fueled by cocaine.
Doesn’t get much better then this!
