He didn't play the guitar. He was the guitar. There will never be another S.R.V
I just wanted to thank you for not stopping the song every 30 seconds to point out how badass that was. 😂
Eric Clapton once said that Stevie was an open channel and the music just flowed through him
Awesome to see anyone witness for the first time. It is for a fact in the argument for the greatest guitar performance ever recorded, and that sounds like fan talk hyperbole, but it isn't. Seeing this in 1995 when my bootleg VHS of this concert arrived from the mail order catalogue (the good old days of Motorola pagers and last gasps of pre-internet life :) ! ) even though he'd already become my favorite player a couple years before - man seeing this literally left me speechless for a long long time. He follows it up with a more jazz sounding chill song, almost just as incredible, called "Lenny" from same show, El Mocambo, highly recommend that...after those 2 songs ended the set, I really could not believe what I'd just seen. To me, this is the maximum possible usage of an electric guitar from any defining characteristic. Stevie is following a basic pattern and using go-to licks, but he is essentially improvising the entire time, he never played a song the same way twice, even more insane, he was able to reach that other dimension where music flows endlessly from an untapped source, and then bring it back and not miss a single note, playing at a ludicrous virtuoso level, while still maintaining the soul of true blues at every moment. He is a Titan of not just guitar, or blues, but music, and I love seeing reaction channels spread his legacy like this - in turn spreading the legacy of other older blues players hopefully and bringing the original source of all music we listen to today, to so many more people. The blues is simple, yet like that game "GO" very popular in Asia, the rules of which I don't understand whatsoever, there a trillion combinations and nuances and directions to go in a 3 chord song played on a single scale style, and SRV - boy did he ever master it, create his own sound, have a Tone handed down from the Gods - using the literal thickest strings a human can attempt to put on a guitar, and VERY few do - and he was just a cool, humble ,honest, giving amazing person. RIP, h gave us so much by age 36, it takes a bit of pain away every time I see a reaction as I know his spirit is still alive and well. Thanks man!
A good description. I'll never forget that evening at the El Mocambo and the neon palms.
Well said! Stevie was a virtuoso blue player. So exciting to watch. Never lost a beat. All straight through his awesome soul.
Well put. Exactly
His brother Jimmie said, "Stevie never played the same song once, let alone twice." That's some clever observation!
Shortly after SRV's death, I saw an interview with BB King and Albert King talking about their experiences playing with Stevie. Albert just nodded his head in wonder as BB described his near heart attacks as Stevie would hang his improv style over the edge of a 10,000 foot cliff and then yank it back with the whip snap of a hangman's noose. BB Said "my ass would tighten just waiting for him to crash into the wall, and then he'd leap into something completely different and never lose a beat." You could tell both men were in awe of SRV's talent, and no higher praise is possible.
That’s a great story! I am going to look for that interview.
In the early morning of Monday, August 27, 1990, American musician Stevie Ray Vaughan was killed in a helicopter crash near East Troy, Wisconsin, at age 35. He was one of the most influential blues guitarists of the 1980s, described by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as "the second coming of the blues".
Vaughan spent his last days performing with his band Double Trouble as the opening act for Eric Clapton at Alpine Valley Music Theater, thirty miles southwest of Milwaukee. After the concert concluded, Vaughan and three members of Clapton's entourage boarded a helicopter that crashed into the side of a nearby ski hill shortly after takeoff.The day before his death, Stevie Ray Vaughan allegedly told his band and crew members about a nightmare that he had in which he was at his own funeral and saw thousands of mourners. He felt "terrified, yet almost peaceful". Backstage after the show that evening, the musicians talked about playing together again, particularly with Eric Clapton for a series of dates at London's Royal Albert Hall in early 1991 as a tribute to Jimi Hendrix. Moments later, Clapton's tour manager, Peter Jackson, said that the weather was getting worse and they had to leave soon. Vaughan's last words to drummer Chris Layton were, "I love ya".
"this guy" is the greatest guitarist that ever lived.
He grew up near me. I met him once at the mall. His niece was my first girlfriend. I had no idea he would become one of the best ever!!! SRV is a LEGEND!!!
Srv is the GOAT 🐐
What a beautiful reaction, really. You didn't try to make this about yourself, didn't insert yourself into this at all rather than to listen attentively to this artist. Your facial expressions said all there was to tell. Thanks - i'm subscribing now.
Hey JM... Imagine you're a teenager in the late 60s-70s and the music you're reacting to now is coming out each week. BLOWING everyone's mind. There will never be another time quite like those years. PURE Talent with NO digital assistance. Live performances that shook the world we lived in. Those days are gone. Music will never be the same level of excellence.
This performance was recorded at The El Macambo club in Canada in 1983.
No one played like SRV, legendary
Eric Clapton was a friend of Stevie, and he played a benefit concert for Eric's charity with a bunch of great guitar players. Eric laughed and said he kept
having guys come up and ask if they couldn't follow SRV at the show. Stevie was a Gunslinger and was deadly on stage. RIP SRV.
Stevie was the Best Human Being you would have been blessed to know. I miss him everyday!
Texas Pride.
Only SRV can do a sound check better than most guitarists have ever played in their life lol. That's a great video too if you get the chance.
The soundcheck one is a must watch
My heart fills with joy when I see people witness greatness.
You will never be the same. Guarantee.
That's The El Mocambo, 1983 Toronto Canada. That was my favourite bar in the 1970's where I used to see all the great Blues acts, like Muddy Water, Howlin' Wolf, WQillie Dixon, Buddy Guy & Junior Wells, etc. The Club has just reopen recently, The old Neon Palms have been re-lite
I just saw Buddy Guy a few weeks ago on his Farewell Tour. He can still belt out a song. Then he went up and down every aisle so you could be right next to him as he played. His son also came out and played and is also really good.
What happened when Stevie did two classics from Jimi.... this happened... "Voodoo Chile'... "Little Wing"
He was a freak of nature.
You need to check out Tin pan alley with Stevie and Johnny Copeland ♡♡♡♡ one of his best performances ♡
Greatest of All Time!!!!
it makes me happy watching people my age enjoy this. Thank you for not stopping the song and letting it play through. Best reaction to Stevie I have seen! RIP Stevie
I saw this cat live in concert twice. He was incredible. Just a damn prodigy.
You have not only experienced greatness but also the greatest guitar player of all time.
Stevie Ray Vaughan was a master of his craft, he was born in Dallas Texas Oct 3, 1954 he has a brother 3 yrs older then him named Jimmie Vaughan who is a great guitarist In his own right and had a band called The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Jimmie got an electric guitar when he was 10 yrs old and Stevie Ray loved to play with it when Jimmie left the house, Stevie Ray got his first guitar on October 3, 1961 for his 7th birthday, it was a toy guitar with cowboys and Indians on it but still Stevie Ray learned to play Thunderbird by The Night Caps and Wine, Wine, Wine, by Lonnie Mack (a toy amazing.) In 1964 Jimmie gave Stevie Ray his electric guitar when Stevie Ray had joined a band called The Chantones along with basses Tommy Shannon of Double Trouble had their first gig at a roller rink, Tommy and Stevie Ray went to school together. Stevie Ray's career only span 7 years and in that 7 years he accomplished so much on June 13, 1983 Stevie Ray released his first album Texas Flood and on December 13 1983 Stevie was voted Guitar Player Magazine's Best New Talent, Best Electric Blues Guitar Player and Best Guitar Album with his Texas Flood album, Stevie Ray and Jeff Beck are the only 2 Triple award guitarist ever. On November 8, 1984 Stevie Ray wins a W.C.Handy National Blues Award, Entertainer Of The Year, Instermental Of The Year and was the first white person to win either. Stevie Ray won 6 Grammys, 5 W.C.Handy Awards, 10 Austin Music Awards and many more after his death, in 2000 Stevie Ray was inducted into The Blues Hall Of Fame and in 2015 he was inducted into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Sadly Stevie Ray never enjoyed a #1 hit and after his death his song Crossfire written by Double Trouble went to #1 2 months after his death. In 1977 Stevie Ray put a band together called Triple Threat Reuve with Lou Ann Barton vocals but she left the band on Nov 24,1979 so Stevie Ray had to step up and sing, the band members started doing other things and the only one who stayed was drummer Chris Layton who joined the band on September 10,1978 then basses Tommy Shannon joined on June 13, 1981 Reese Wynans joined later on June 7, 1985 then Stevie Ray changed the name in 1980 to Double Trouble. This song Texas Flood was written by Larry Davis and Joseph Scott in 1955 it was written while Joseph Scott was having relationship problems. Larry Davis recorded and released it in 1958. Stevie Ray could play behind his head, backwards, one hand, broken string, switch guitar in the middle of a solo and never missed a beat, tune his guitar while playing, adjust his AMP'S while playing one handed, play with his teeth and even used his elbow but Stevie Ray could play behind his back longer than anyone ever has. On August 25, 1990 Stevie Ray, Buddy Guy, Robert Clay and Stevie Ray's brother Jimmie Vaughan went to East Troy Wisconsin to open 3 shows for Eric Clapton at The Alpine Valley Music Theater, all 3 shows sold out with 40,000 people each show. After Eric Clapton finish his last song on August 27,1990 Stevie Ray, Buddy Guy, Robert Clay and Stevie Ray's brother Jimmie Vaughan stepped on stage with Eric Clapton, the last song Stevie Ray ever performed was Sweet Home Chicago by Robert Johnson, Stevie Ray boarded a helicopter that crashed into the side of a mountain right after takeoff and everyone on board were killed instantly. Imo Stevie Ray Vaughan will always be THE GOAT. oh geez sorry I didn't mean to write so long but I've been a huge Stevie Ray Vaughan fan for over 40 years and I have to learn how to make my messages short.
Jarvis, we love your Million Dollar Smile when you enjoy music. Hope we can make you and your sweet lady smile! Yes, could be your Mama, many of us are old enough 😊
He's one of the best.
SRV ~ 🎸🐐 The goatiest goat in all of goatness
**Life Without You at Capitol Theater**
I just so want to be on the panet he arrived on. I could listen to him forever. He's one really cool cat. His absolute love of blues music sings from his soul even when he plays rock music you can hear that blues coming through. Its well recognised that his so called peers loved and respected him, for his Exceptional talent, wanted to play with him, in fact the late great Albert King said he only had one black daddy. Even in my opinion outshone Hendrix with his covers of him.
Fantabulous. Rest In Peace Sir. Thank you for your gift of music
I was at Stevie Ray Vaughn's last concert the night his helicopter crashed after the show at Alpine Valley, Wisconsin August 26th 1990. The fog was so bad after the show that we stopped and got a hotel room on the hour drive home. The next morning when I checked out of our room, proudly were my new Eric Clapton tshirt the clerk said "did you hear that Eric Clapton died in a helicopter crash last night?" I was devastated. As we continued home frantically searching the radio dial for info(no smart phones back then) finally heard the horrible news that it was SRV. The lineup was SRV, Eric Clapton, Robert Cray, Buddy Guy and Stevie's brother Jimie. RIP SRV!
When he spins round. Gets everyone
Just simply the greatest session ever
A truly Must See is " life without you "at the capital theater ! Srv will always be the goat for sure, you can't go wrong with any of his songs. Keep up your great reactions man ♥ 🙏
Mountaintop!
RIP Stevie. Thank You!
SRV; fingers that think, music that soars!! Always wanted to use that line!!!
There's people out there that can match it, but not very many.. I would suggest "Voodoo Child" for your next song from him, it's cover of Jimi Hendrix, The version recorded at Austin City Limits is a great one. Stevie is one of the very few artists that are MUCH better live than on studio recordings every single time.. You could also take a listen to stevie ray vaughan sound check, it mind blowing.
He was perfect blues 💙 gutairest. Clean sound . No mistakes at all. Incredible 😊
❤SRV RIP🌹
You'll like this performance... Stevie Ray Vaughan - Crossfire & Tightrope 06/03/1989
I seen him in concert at the Paramount Theater in Cedar Rapids Iowa in about 1987, fantastic concert. May he RIP 💔
I was Lucky enough to see him 3 weeks before he was tragically killed in a helicopter crash .He was the best guitarist i ever saw almost unreal . Joe Cocker opened the show with a 10 piece band both were incredible !
When I said SRV sits at The Head Of The Table of Blues/Rock Guitarist, this is why..
This is easily my favorite live performance video of any musician ever.
@JMBoyTV , 'bout time!!! LOL Stevie Ray Vaughan (SRV) and his brother Jimmie Vaughan are Texas boys... Oak Cliff (Dallas) and SRV went down to Austin. He can make his guitar talk. You need to check out Little Wing (a Hendrix jam) next, and then Tin Pan Alley. Another musician taken away from us all too early in life. Like John F Kennedy, everyone remembers where they were in they heard SRV had died (Aug of 1990). Jimmie still plays up here in Dallas, he's good, but not nearly the talent of SRV.
Saw Stevie opening for Huey Lewis at a outdoor concert midway through the first song started raining second song Couldn't Stand the Weather it poured down like a cow pissing on a flat rock.Stevie said shit looks like a Texas flood!He was probably going to play for 45 minutes but ended up playing about 90 minutes incredible!
Great reaction on your part. I truly enjoyed watching you witnessing Stevie Ray Vaughan's performance. I have seen him do this and many other songs. Thanks
I worked at Fender 1972 77. I met Leo Fender many times. This is exactly what he invented this instrument for..The Fender Stratocaster was introduced in spring 1954 as Fender's new top-line guitar, in tremolo and non-tremolo versions. I was born April 54, the same time as Rock & Roll.
Ok, Gladys Knight, Midnight Train To Georgia! She could sing the phone book. Stevie is amazing, so is Gladys and the Pips.
Simply the BEST!
You have just witnessed the best that has ever been...period!!
Peace!
SRV minha alma agradece👏👏👏👏👍🙏🇺🇸.
You just THOUGHT you've seen great guitarists before... Thanks so much for your reaction.
Peak level musician
This is a top 5 all-time live guitar performance - right up there with Hendrix' Machine Gun at the Fillmore
yep
Keep plunging down the rabbit hole of s r v the goat
Great reaction. I miss SRV so much.
This song puts a smile on everyones face ❤ gotta luv SRV ❤
The Mocambo is in Toronto... used to live a few blocks away. The Rolling Stones also recorded an album there... something about the room.
Dallas boy. G.O.A.T.
You gotta go down this rabbit hole man. Gone way to soon in a helicopter crash.!! Try the one of his that is labeled, "Sound Check". Unbelievable.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
"Hard To Match".... that sums it up just fine. Why we call it "Classic"
The GOAT.
I love your reaction! Stevie is the man with so much soul
Astonished.....yes, that would be the correct word
wow, what a master of the guitar.
Jimi Hendrix originally did Voodoo Child and Stevie Ray Vaughan did a cover of VoodooChild, Live In Austin 1989
Stevie Ray Vaughan also covered Hendrix song Little Wing.
You should check out: Dirty Pool Live at Montreaux 1982; Tin Pan Alley Live at Montreaux 1985 with Johnny Copeland; Riviera Paradise, Mary Had a Little Lamb, Tightrope, Crossfire, Look at Little Sister, Couldn't Stand the Weather all Live at Austin 1989; Love Struck Baby, Ain't Gonna Give Up On Love Live at Daytona Beach 1987; Life Without You Live at Nashville 1987 ( a lot of people recommend the Capitol Theater version of this song, but after getting clean and sober the message in Nashville is closer to his heart).
Trust me, now you know “the”GOAT, Mr. SRV he is surely missed ❤
Saw him play live twice in Illinois, SO glad I was there to see this man play - sadly not too much longer and he was gone - RIP SRV.
Word has it, that Stevie's Guitar was seen out back smoking a cigarette after this song.....
Well said brother more please until next time stay well and popping for fresh
Please check out Stevie Ray Vaughan "Lenny Live at El Mocambo". Thanks for keeping Stevie alive! I love your reaction.
When Stevie is done playing the Guitar smokes a cigarette
The greatest blues guitar players of all time!!!
You just went in!
It is nice to see someone else exposed to the G.O.A.T.! 😊
Another one of "The Greats" Terry Kath Guitarist for....... Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4 (Live at Tanglewood, July 21, 1970)
God level
6 Strings, 21 Frets..... Are You Kidding Me. Not a single cord or note out of place. Perfection Live is so sweet.
yep,,,,all by ear and feel
I can't wait to see you reacting on Heroes from David Bowie. David Bowie | “Heroes” | Live at Earls Court | 30 June 1978
I like how you watched his performance without trying to be a performer yourself.
I think stevie ray vaughns best guitar performance was playing life without you live.
Just get into Stevie Ray, love the reaction you don't get many people preforming like that nowadays, love Stevie Ray.
SRV cut his chops in a small city full of great guitarists, all of whom dreamed of big-times OR had fallen from those crests and were simply playing to enjoy themselves. And Stevie Ray knew being a good guitarist wasn't enough - so he worked on his showmanship skills. But so did they. Lead guitarists ran up pillars and backflipped, played upside down, anything to create 'notice' and 'attention'. Also, pay homage to the cameramen who had learned to place themselves at just the perfect location for the great fooage. (This performance was perhaps a decade into learning these skills (mid-70s), too.)
Check out Little Wing at El Mocambo. Spiritual experience
I love your reactions & your channel.
GOAT
That's not at the Mocambo, its the El Mocambo! The venue still exists in Toronto, Canada and has hosted the likes of the Rolling Stones and April Wine.
My guitar watches this video when i go to work....
"HOW???"... I own 3 Fender Stratocaster guitars, I can never get them to sound quite like SRV. So, I don't know how he does it. Some kind of Voodoo Magic
Listen to how Tight Tommy Shannon is on the base. He gives a sidewalk for Stevie to stroll down. It's like Blues Shuffle in C by ZZTOP
Stevie had to leave us to go back to his home Planet ...
"Who is this guy?" Was.
rip srv WE LOST ONE OF THE GREATEST.
❤❤❤
JM, I want to Thank You for the time and effort you put into your “Content”. I want to thank you for selecting many of my suggestions since your #41 back on Jan 14th
I prefer to suggest songs that may not be too well known by the general population, Most are what are called “Album Cuts”. Not played on radio much and usually late night FM stations or chopped up for radio time. The songs all have some of the finest musicians that ever created what we now refer to as “Classic Rock” Songs that if you did not have the album, you may have never heard, Seeing them performed LIVE is the way many people heard for the first time…. “It‘s Alright Ma, I‘m Only Bleeding“…“Magnum Opus”…. “Child Of Vision”… “Time Has Come Today”… “The Garden Of Allah”…. “Love To Love”. They may not get “Searched” very much, but they are a must hear, to hear some of the best musicians and the amazing music they gave us. Every Note played by someone who took the time to learn his/her instrument..
SRV! One of the greatest and taken too soon.
JM... For your own entertainment, this is one of those concerts you will want to see the entire show. "Little Wing"... a cover of Jimi's legendary song is spectacular. You want to watch both artist do it and "Voodoo Chile".... "Astonished"... Says it right.
💯
Everything from the Austin City Limits concert is great. Voodoo Chile is a Hendrix cover and SRV Kills it.
Simply the GOAT OF GOATS! Ask Jimmy Page of The GOATS, Led Zeppelin! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
