i had the same reactions in the late 80's your a good man for bringing this to the attention of your viewers
I actually worked this show as a stagehand. This was at the capital theater in Passaic N.J
He actually breaks a tooth.
E looked over at us and mouthed Yup broke a tooth.
By far the most melodic song Stevie ever wrote. Everytime I hear it feels like I'm just flowing on a cosmic highway. Wish this song got more love.
It’s really incomprehensible that someone who possesses so much life can cease to be.
I often wonder what the real answer is to that..Crazy!
Brigitte, that comment nailed it.
Beautiful comment
That’s the thing….
He’s immortal.
As long as humans have ears, they will be marveling at Stevie Ray Vaughan.
To me he is immortal,imagine what could have come next. It boggles my mind.
BB King said: "playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed.”
Fun fact about this video is he actually broke his tooth after using his teeth to play the guitar. He even starts looking for it on the ground and you can see him mouth to someone off stage “my tooth, gone!” 😂 yet he never stopped performing and kept it 100% real, raw and full of amazement. RIP to the GOAT.
It was all the rec drugs he was taking! Love this guy...
@@oliviadestandau7463 he was clean before he passed. His mother said that the Lord took him because he was clean and right with God, as she wiped away the tears. Say what you will, he came through the fire of addiction whole, playing his guitar like the GOAT that he is.
@@theakos6174yeah I think he broke his tooth because of the heavy gauge strings he used, he used the heaviest strings on his guitar
fun fact. it was the last song of their first set...it was also my 16th birthday and my best friend and I were 2nd row center stage at this very show..extra karma..the guitar he started the song with broke a string and how ironic the guitar he switched to was the one given to him by the person he wrote this song for... Charlie Wirz of Charley's Guitar Shop in NW Dallas, Tx.
@@sickheadjoker1421 at that time he likely was but contrary to popular belief he didn't always use heavy gauge strings and the last several years of his playing he had actually gone down to 9 gauge because even at that point the heavy strings were taking a toll on his hands and Angel Ramirez his guitar tech told him if he didn't start playing a lighter gauge it would get to the point he wouldn't be able to play at all.
He was clean and sober here… it was a very, very, very hard road for him. Look how healthy he looks. Oh, I miss him so much. ❤
Those words Stevie spoke were from his heart. People compare him back and forth to other guitar greats, but it was Stevie's heart and soul, his genuine love for others that set him apart. You know it when you see it. And you see it here.
R I P beautiful man.
Have you ever gone to the Experience Music Project in Seattle? They have Jimi Hendrix’s letters he wrote to his family. What I took away from reading them was that he was truly a great person and extremely intelligent. It is uplifting to know some of these great talents should also be admired for their humanity.
@@brigitte9999 I haven’t been there yet. And yes it is uplifting. A lot of entertainers could take a lesson.
Sure seems so. I love his love for the Lord and he didn't hide it.
He was talking against the racism in the South. Sadly he would be blacklisted by the republicans now. We have gone backwards.
@@lindalawson7600WTF are you talking about??!!! It’s the war on poor folks, not race!! People like you view EVERYTHING as racist……GROW UP AND LOOK AROUND, IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE DEMONRATS WHO HAVE BEEN CONSISTENTLY RACIST…….DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DO SOME RESEARCH!!!
Stevie died sober/cleaned up. Crash and he was out of here. Amazing how the good , in this case , the best die young. RIP
Stevie wrote this song about the death of a good friend. This friend actually built a guitar for him (a beautiful white one) which he usually uses to play this tribute song. For some reason, he started the song with another guitar, and then was not satisfied with the sound. He quickly switched guitars to the white one, and continued this magnificent performance.
The guitar is called Charlie after Charlie Wirz who is the friend you are referring to. RIP Charlie and SRV!
Yes. What a good friend Stevie is to sing over missing a friend. Wish I had a friend like him
i did not know that ...he always struck me as an intensley emotional dude ... which can go either way
he is sorely missed
Fun fact, at about 12:35 he’s looking on the stage for the tooth he lost. At 12:52 he tells the roadies “I lost my tooth” and at 12:57 he says “it’s gone!”
@@ericmcdonough8193 yea... that was embarrassing but he laughed it off and kept playing. Class act right there
GOAT!!! Rest easy SRV
I got to meet SRV in 1985 when my dad played backup guitar for the country (then country-rock) band Alabama. It was in a hole in the wall blues club in central Florida. He put his hat on my little head and told me I look like a "real rocker." It was so awesome as a kid, but I didn't realize how special it was until I was grown
I was lucky enough to be at this concert, if my mother knew where I was I would still be grounded. I was 15 taking a 117 mile bus ride to go to this concert...that message has stuck with me for over 37 years!
There's an interview of him on UA-cam where when asked about always giving his all when performing, he said it's because you never know when it may be your last...
We are all so glad he did.
And now you know why this man was so loved. An imperfect man who learned a few things along the way and shared those lessons. Oh yeah, and he’s also the guitar GOAT.
Beautiful message! Applies today better than back then. 😢😢
A gift from the gods, if only for a moment.
Just imagine how it would be if he didn't pass away! The influence he could've made, the More I should say, on music!!
Broke out his tooth and kept on playing. Such a kind soul he was; R.I.P. Stevie
"Making adjustments on stage" ... We call that GOAT swagger.
Srv!! Truly awesome
❤SRV. RIP🌹
Lord have mercy, I think, even an out of tune note is just another note in his arsenal of blues perfection…. I swear he could take an out of tune guitar, make that thing, scream and cry with perfection, and we would all think it’s just absolutely normal.
SRV was as great a human being as he was a guitarist. I miss him dearly. He touches my soul every time. Great reaction, you get how great he is, musically and as a person. Rock on!!
SRV. Truly amazing.
He broke a tooth here at the end playing with his teeth. One of his best performances..
SRV ~ 🎸🐐 THE goat of all goats
Guitar change, behind the back, backward, one-handed, epic speech, with his teeth (you can see him mouth to someone that he lost a tooth)...legit goat status.
So Cool! Thanks so much for a great reaction. SRV, there can be only one. So glad I caught 3 shows.
At 2:00 he motions to have another guitar 🎸 brought out. He used to do that if he didn't like the sound or couldn't tune it to his standard. He also used 13 gauge strings while most guitarist used 9 gauge. He used thicker size strings to accommodate his aggressive style of playing. Check out Look Little Sister and Texas Flood live. Amazes me how many people don't catch the guitar change.
Heaven has one awesome band. R.I.P. to all the great artists and legendary leaders for peace and love for all. ❤
Thank you for appreciating Stevie’s vocals. I guess people miss how well he sings because he’s the greatest guitar player of all time
I agree that Stevie Ray Vaughn was an amazing talent. I discovered him after his passing. What a loving message from Stevie in this performance.
This is such a timeless rendition of this song. You could have picked many but you probably chose the best.
7:50 We 🇺🇸 Could Use Some Stevie Ray Vaughan Today…Preaching On Stage 2 The Masses…We Only Live Once…Let’s ALL Live As Brothers & Sisters!!❤
I Carry Stevie In My Heart Still & The Love & Music He Shared With Us.....Soul💞Soul, Stevie!💗😘
THE highest level. RIP G.O.A.T.
Best guitar player of all time in my opinion, his version of little wing is the most amazing thing I've ever heard on guitar.
Hurts my heart to know what we have missed when we lost him
No one lives forever but his music will live on forever
Makes me feel great to see people discover srv 8t is truly a gift to exsperiance
Amazing how he breaks a string, looks to to his side, points to the guitar that he wants brought to him, then his guitar tech brings him the guitar and they change guitars mid stream of the song never missing a note or thing in his singing then when he gets a break in the vocals he goes and adjust the sound to the new guitar and just continues to blow everybody away!
Loved the reaction Polo my brother. I am 65, SRV was here in my home town when I was in my rock heyday, and I didn't know about him. I watched in concert Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ronnie Montrose, Ted Nugent, ZZ Top, Peter Frampton, and others...but stupidly missed SRV.
Now I own many of his DVD's and I cherish them. He is just flat out amazing. I urge you to research him on UA-cam. You will find that he doesn't just play the the chords, or notes, or whatever the hell they are, he catches strings on the backstroke, he moves strings with those strong fingers. He has very thick strings on his guitar because he can bend them with those super strong fingers. There is much more to his sound than meets the eye, and very few could even begin to play his custom guitars at all, let alone the way he does.
Love your vids Polo - Mike in Albuquerque
SRV was the man! Did you notice the full guitar swap out mid verse? Not sure if he broke a string or it just went dead, but damn that was slick. Props to the guitar tech as well lol.
most people never even realize that guitar change happened
the song is dedicated to a guitar tech that passed away and this guitar was gifted to stevie by the guitar tech so he uses to play this song
@@yoopersen the friend was Charley Wirz, a guitar shop owner in Dallas; he built that white guitar for Stevie out of parts. Stevie named that white guitar after Charley✌️💙
@@harrietmiller3982 you are correct. I used to go into Charley's and see that hanging on the wall. I asked him about it once and he just said "oh, that's for someone special ". Wow, he wasn't kidding.
@@mikelundquist4596 wow Mike‼️so you saw his "Charley" before he took possession. Amazing🎸✌️🎶💙‼️
I was lucky enough to see him twice live before he passed. Each time was a religious experience. He is the GOAT IMHO.
He and his guitar were connected like a phone and Bluetooth! One together!!!
I absolutely adore the way he hits you with that beautiful message then proceeds to melt your face off with his awesomeness. That’s class y’all, pure class.
AMEN SRV 💗
SRV gots soul man. Love listening to him.
He lives forever still moving souls long after the earth exsperiance. So really in a way he lives forever.
SRV was a total genius, and a legend! May he Rest In Peace 🙏✌️ ps, love your reactions my friend!
SRV = THE G.O.A.T.
It would be great to get a reaction for Albert King & SRV - Born Under A Bad Sign ( In Session).
Such a heartfelt performance
SRV was amazing. Died too young would love to see the music he would be putting out today. Check out Texas flood by him if you haven’t already, you won’t be disappointed
So swaggy here, my favorite! But don't miss "Tin Pan Alley" with Johnny Copeland. It's amazing!
Had the privilege of seeing this genius live a couple times the man put his heart and soul in every song. He left us way to soon. R.I.P. SRV
Big Stevie Ray fan but for me the talent shines in the quiet moments. "Lenny" and "Rivera Paradise" are two of my favs.
If you like Stevie you should listen to his version of little wing !
Also his version of Voodoo Child is way better than Jimi's
Stevie Hated Being Referred To As A "God"....He Was Exceeding Humble In His Talent & Celebrity....Stevie Was Greatly Gifted As A Musician But Also With A Special Soul A Huge Heart... I Miss Him To This Day! Soul💞Soul, Stevie💗😘
Been listening to Stevie for decades. Such a tragic loss.
First time seeing this video. I remember the day he passed from this life to his next journey. He had an incredible talent and most importantly a kind and giving spirit.
II have never heard a guitar that screamed so much for love between all people!!!
One of the greatest guitar change out after popping a string that you will ever see!!!!!! He didn’t miss a beat and if you weren’t watching closely you can miss it!!!! Priceless!!!! So says Austin Tx!!!!! 😎🍸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Stevie and his guitar melded into one. This is a truly beautiful song and SRVs voice is so good in this one. When he started talking to the crowd, his message touched me so deeply, he was absolutely right. What a beautiful soul....Nice reaction!
Only one word ... beautiful. Also, a beautiful soul no longer with us music lovers ... R.I.P.
My favorite SRV song. He breaks a tooth during this.
"Leave my Girl Alone" Live is a great SRV performance no one reviews. His tone in that one is really amazing.
Cudos to Rene Martinez, who made that guitar swap out so seamless.
I could not have enjoyed this more.
👍😊❣️Love Stevie Ray!!!❣️
"He was completely locked in" Great comment. You nailed it perfectly
SRV was an amazing guitarist, but I'd love to hear your reaction to a very underappreciated guitarist (at least by the general public), the legendary Rory Gallagher. Held in high esteem by Brian May, Slash, Johnny Marr, Joe Bonamassa and many others, Rory was an master guitarist. Try checking out the ultra cool "Calling Card" from the 1977 Hammersmith Odeon performance or the hot "Do You Read Me?" form the 1979 Rock Goes to College performance. Those are both great introductions. Any pretty much anything from the 1974 Irish Tour is pretty spectacular as well.
Glad you brought up Stevie's singing. He's kind of like Joe Bonamassa, so amazing on the guitar that it's easy to miss how good of a singer he is.
Love your reactions and sense of humor.
This is top of the list for songs to be played at my funeral! RIP SRV
Saw him live when I was 15. I’ll never forget it. He was like a god to watch.
I miss your face, your voice and your fierce talent, kind Sir!💜🔥
Ok,so now we talking about real music ,a one of s kind genius of guitar,music and style ❤️
I was absolutely overjoyed seeing you reacted to this song in particular. This was one of many songs that my brother and I chose to have played at our dad's funeral. It has taken everything I have to avoid crying. Especially since this is probably the best version of it I've ever heard.
I'm so thrilled to keep seeing people my age and younger discover the greatness that was and still is SRV.
SO smooooth...
Choosing who the best Guitarist is, is like choosing your favorite fruit. Some like apples, some like oranges, and others may like pears. They're all good, just enjoy what each one brings to the table.
Behind the back thing isn’t that hard, hands are in the exact same position…BUT, to play like he did, CLEANLY, with intensity like that? INCREDIBLE
You will love his Little Wing video live at El Mocambo
Jimi Hendrex was his Idol and the reason he started playing guitar. Jimi used to play behind his back, so Stevie wanted to do the same.
I can’t say SRV is the best ever but he’s certainly in my top 10. Too many great ones to say he’s the GOAT, but it’s a great conversation to have. Great reaction Polo. 🔥🎸
Amazing performance, Stevie nearly died from drug and alcohol addiction a year after this concert. You can see how sluggish his performance is compared to how he played after he quit drugs. His concerts post 1986 are even more amazing.
If you ever wanted to see someone do something at their very best and doing what they love. This is it!
Fabulous melodic use of feedback..a genius of tonal eloquence...
Magnificent
SRV is my favorite guitarist, because he brings so much passion, soul and creativity through his instrument. His touch is incredible! i always play this song on the anniversary of my mom's passing. Such a beautiful song. You should check out his cover of Jimi Hendrix's Little Wing. He turns a 2:20 epic song by Jimi into a 7 minute masterpiece! Truly one of my favorite covers of all time! If you want to check some amazing but less heralded guitarists, check out Jeff Healey and Eric Gales!
Vaughan was in a helicopter with experienced pilot Jeff Brown, and three members of Eric Clapton's touring crew. The helicopter slammed into the side of a ski hill. There was no evidence of mechanical failure, and the helicopter was flying in terrible weather conditions.....Aug. 27, 1990, RIP........Did Stevie Ray Vaughan like Jimi Hendrix?
Recalling the impact of the legendary guitarist, Vaughan said: “I loved Jimi a lot. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist. He could do anything. I was about sixteen when he died.
He was so bad a$$ incredible the amount of talent this dude had
I had the honor to see SRV in 1984 in New Haven, CT from about 5 feet away and, of the 150 shows I’ve seen, this was my most favorite ever. People overuse the word “legend” but this one is deserved when you mention Stevie. Big ❤ for him still. RIP SRV
Religious experience ❤
I live in the Dallas area and was fortunate as a young kid to see him numerous times. He died when I was in high school. Those shows I saw him at will always be a part of me and I thank my mom for taking me to these shows with her!!
Stevie is so awesome its easy to forget how great Tommy, Chris and Reese are. Let’s hear it for Double Trouble! And Ceasar for the flawless guitar change! SRV rules.
If you look later He plays the guitar with his Teeth and he actually broke one and he turns towards us on the side of the stage and smiles and Says yup broken toowhat a great man I still miss him till this day
RiP to that tooth that Stevie lost playing this amazing solo!!!
I'm so thankful I got to see him play in one of his concerts before his tragic death
4:21. Immediately gets SRV stank face. It just comes natural
Edit: Best reaction to a piece of music I've seen. Subbed. Nicely done, sir.
I knew you would appreciate this one. This is one of my favorite performances by Stevie. Awesome message on top of an awesome performance.
Don’t change a thing my man, keep doing your reactions and commentaries just as they are. You are in my top five, love it, stay real.
Stevie played early versions of "life without you" as an instrumental and a couple of versions with lyrics, Stevie rewrote it in early 1985 with the lyrics dedicated to Charley Wirz from Charley's guitar shop in Dallas. The guitar named "Charley" was originally called "ol white" and later called "ol pearl". In 2003 Stevies guitar tech Rene Martinez and Charley's guitar shop made 23 replicas and sold them for $2500 each, Santana had one John Mayer and Kenny Wayne Shepherd too, it came with the hula girl decal on the back and had the correct Danelectro lipstick pickups,alder body with a no tremolo bridge one volume and one tone and an ebony fretboard on the maple neck. Ten more in 2005 without the Charleys logo on the headstock. BTW there are better live versions of "L.W.Y. out there. You can see Charley on the cover of "Couldn't stand the weather"
SRV is very special to me, I'm so glad you did this performance! keep up the great work Polo!
I adore your respect and now, opening your mid to discover Country. New Sub.
The best…..
