      3 times for me too, hyperbole fails to capture his brilliance. Have you heard of Danny Gatton? He was an American virtuoso guitarist who combined blues, rockabilly, jazz, and country to create a musical style he called "redneck jazz". (Wikipedia) Saw him shortly before his death and he is/was one of the very few in SRV's league. At one point during his set, he started playing amazing slide guitar with a freshly opened beer bottle then continued playing with a rag while wiping the neck. Check him out, many videos on YT. Cheers!

This meant I was on the stage, to the left of him during the performance. I was already a big fan before I saw him live. Talk about having a great seat. He was wearing a hat the a big long feather sticking out of it. He hardly looked at the strings the entire time. Unforgettable.

    I had this performance on VHS when it came out. The concert was in 83. The video tape was so good that I never got it back after a friend borrowed it. 😂
    David Bowie featured him on his Songs, Let’s Dance, and Little China Girl. Stevie Ray Vaughan almost died from drug and alcohol abuse and tragically died only a few short years after getting sober in 1990. A few favorite songs of his are; Lenny, Little Wing (incredible instrumentals), Superstition, Voodoo Child, Life without You…
    Riviera Paradise from his In Step album is an absolute must - even if you don’t do a reaction - you will be doing yourself an incredible favor for giving it a listen. It’s a gorgeous jazz piece that’s almost 9 minutes in length. The sound engineer lost his mind during the session because he almost ran out of tape during the recording and he was afraid he was going to miss some of the greatest jazz guitar he had ever heard. Right when Stevie stopped playing, he could hear the end of the tape clicking against the neighboring reel. 😎

    When you saw Stevie play in Austin you’d leave drenched in sweat, tingling, silent, smiling, and feeling like you’d just had a religious experience, and everyone else was the same. He tapped into a Source of music, like a spring, that he knew how to find, let it take him over, and held on while music flowed through him. No man could play like that, but this music came through Stevie. It proved to us that God is active in our lives, and it made us so happy. “Little Wing” from this same show is another astonishing performance where the Spirit plays through him. Thank you

    SRV is a legend, I lived in Austin Tx from '79 - '86 and first saw SRV perform live in 1980. I likely saw him perform live more than 50 times in the Austin area in the early 80's. Although I doubt SRV ever remembered my name, He's always pointed me out in the crowd when He saw me. I never met Chris, but I met Tommy on several occasions in a certain setting, I probably met SRV only about 10 times, but I was absolutely gob-smacked as a fan. I must say, after seeing 50+ live performances, I don't think I ever saw SRV play a song twice the same way... He'd hit key points, Double Trouble was good enough to follow and support just about anything, and SRV would just tear of in any direction He was feeling. Many knew SRV much better than me, I didn't even really know him, I doubt He ever remembered my name.... but in those days... SRV and Tommy had their own issues, (their story, not mine), after the European Tour and being named "Guitar Player of the Year", He didn't play as much locally any more.... and I moved from Austin in '86. In 1990, when I heard over the radio that SRV had been killed in a helicopter crash I sat in my car and cried for hours.... and I was a 6'4" 220 pound drug abuse counselor in San Antonio.

    OMG Aileen, I am so glad you reacted to this song. SRV was a true master of his guitar to the point where it's been said that his Stratocaster is not just a guitar but is an extension of his body and soul. He never played a song the same, it was always different according to what he was feeling at the time and how he wanted or feel to communicate to the listener.
    HIs talents was so inspirational that even the supposed guitar gods like Eric Clapton and the other rocks and blues greats before him all admitted that he was at a different level and uniquely special who always knew what to do.
    This whole show is worth watching, it is the most epic performance he ever filmed which was filmed in 1983. His renditions of Jimi Hendrix tunes are arguably equal or even better because he put his signature on them. Unfortunately his professional recording career only lasted seven amazing years until he died in a helicopter crash in 1990 [exactly 33 years ago tomorrow] after a blues festival concert where he played with all the living legends that night.
    His band was was known as Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble which consisted of himself, Chris Layton on drums and Tommy Shannon on bass, later on they added keyboardist Reece Wynans.

    I came of age in Austin at the time Stevie was making his chops and becoming famous. Some of my fondest memories of that time was going to watxh him play at local clubs like Antone's, Hole In The Wall, Liberty Lunch etc. Even after he got big he and the Fabulous Thunderbirds, his brother Jimmie's band, would play Labor Day, Memorial Day, Christmas, and New Years Eve shows for their hometown.
    A good friend of mine here in Austin is a guitar player, can't throw a rock in Austin without hitting one. Anyway, back in '87 Mike was playing a gig at Antone's and broke a pickup on his guitar and was ending the show early because he didn't have a spare. BTW, Mike played a Fender Strat, like Stevie. As he was packing up, Stevie appeared out of nowhere with a spare set of pickups he had taken off his #1, the very guitar he's playing in this video. He had been in the back with Clifford Antone enjoying the show without anyone's knowledge. He told Mile he was enjoying and didn't want him to stop. He literally gave Mike the pickups off his favorite guitar to keep playing. Like giving the proverbial shirt off his back. That's who he was.

    “ I remember being fascinated by the fact that he never ever seemed to be lost in any way.”
    “It wasn’t ever that he took a breather or paused to think where he was going to go next. It just flowed out of him. Always seemed to flow out of him and actually even that doesn’t come just with virtuosity, practice or any of those. It’s not a question of doing it over and over again or anything like that. It’s just that he seemed to be an open channel. He just flowed throught him, he never ever seemed to kind of dry up.”
    “Because when I play, I sometimes stop. Every now and then I just stop and think ‘what I’m going to do now’. I don’t want to repeat myself so I get caught up somehow. You freeze and most players do, I never saw him do that."
    -Eric Clapton on Stevie Ray Vaughan’s guitar playing
    If you go back and watch it again, half the time he plays with his eyes closed.

    SRV obviously was one of the guitar gods. The guitar was basically an extension of him, & the two were a perfect duo. Stevie was the embodiment of blues and soul. All of us are blessed for the musical gifts he's left us. ❤

    Everytime I watch SRV, I have to sit in awe at the amount of hours he must have spent practicing. To master an instrument to that degree took an epic amount of work, dedication and love

    Aileen never compare yourself to anyone.... playing guitar is a unique experience to express yourself. SRV has been my favorite guitarist since I first heard him. SRV didn't played the guitar, he bled his soul into it for the world to smile and cry.

    Imo Stevie Ray Vaughan was the greatest guitarist of all time, he was so underrated. Stevie Ray Vaughan was born on October 3,1954 in Dallas Texas his older brother Jimmie Vaughan who is a great guitarist In his own right and had a band called The Fabulous Thunderbirds is 3 yrs older then Stevie Ray got an electric guitar when he was 10 yrs old, Stevie Ray loved the electric guitar so on Stevie Ray's 7th birthday he got a toy guitar with cowboys and Indians on it but with that toy guitar he learned how to play Wine Wine Wine and Thunderbird by The Night Caps (on a toy guitar). In 1964 Jimmie gave Stevie Ray his electric guitar for his first gig at the age of 10 at a roller rink, Stevie Ray had joined a band called Krackerjack along with Double Troubles basses Tommy Shannon. Stevie Ray not only plays behind his back but he also plays behind his head, one hand, broken string, switch guitar in the middle of a solo and never missed a beat, no hands just by moving the guitar up and down side to side, backwards, tune his guitar while playing, his teeth, adjust his AMP'S while playing one handed, elbow and could play behind his back longer than anyone ever could, he could also play the drums and Saxophone. Stevie Ray's career only span years and starting with his album Texas Flood that was released on June 13,1983 and in that 7yrs Stevie Ray accompanied so much he was the first musician to be inducted into The Austin Music Hall Of Fame, in 2000 he was inducted into The Blues Hall Of Fame, and in 2015 he was inducted into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. He collected so many awards, on December 13,1983 Austin City Limits video was voted Guitar Player Magazine's Best New Talent, Best Electric Blues Guitar Player and Best Guitar Album with his album Texas Flood, he and Jeff Beck are the only Triple Award Guitarist ever. On November 18,1984 Stevie Ray won a W.C.Handy National Blues Award, Entertainer Of The Year and Instermental Of The Year, he was the first white person to win either. In 1977 Stevie Ray put a band together called Triple Threat Reuve with Lou Ann Barton vocals but when she left on November 24,1979 Stevie Ray took over the vocals, in 1980 he changed the name to Double Trouble with Chris Layton joining Triple Threat Reuve on September 10,1978 and was Stevie Ray until his death, Tommy Shannon on bass joined Double Trouble on June 23,1981 and Reese Wynans on keys joined Double Trouble on June 7,1985. Stevie Ray always said the biggest influence in his life was his brother Jimmy Vaughan and on August 26, 1990 Stevie Ray went to East Troy Wisconsin to open 2 shows for Eric Clapton along with Robert Clay,Buddy Guy and his brother Jimmie Vaughan to both shows selling out to 40,000 fans. That afternoon Stevie Ray came down from his hotel room and told Jimmie and the band he had a weird dream that he died and he was looking down at all these people crying, on August 27,1990 after Eric Clapton finish his show they all came out and the last song Stevie Ray ever performed with Buddy Guy, Robert Clay, Eric Clapton and his brother Jimmie Vaughan was Sweet Home Chicago by Robert Johnson. Stevie Ray boarded a helicopter that crashed into the side of a mountain right after takeoff, the pilot had just failed his test for using the gages on that helicopter, never flew that helicopter and never flew at night before. Stevie Ray is so sadly missed even today. FOR ME STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN WILL ALWAYS BE THE GOAT.

    EASILY the most entertaining reaction to this performance I've seen. And I've seen a freakin' ton of reactions to it over the past year or so. You win, darlin'! But don't give up on your guitar playing!!! The VAST MAJORITY of us guitar pickers will NEVER achieve anywhere near his level of playing. But we can all have fun doing what we can and being the best that we can be! That's what it's all about, really.

    Story goes that Brian Setzer was doing a show with Stevie. Later in the show Stevie waved Brian over to play. Stevie gave Brian his guitar. Brian was stunned and expected something unique about it. But he said it was just a normal feeling guitar. And Brian said from that moment on he knew Stevie’s sound was all in his fingers.

  • @joshuawiedenbeck6944
    @joshuawiedenbeck6944 Рік тому +3

    Two facts that make SRV even more insane:
    1. Most people believe he played with either heavy or extra heavy gauge strings.
    2. People who worked with SRV said that he would do a set that was 2-3 hours long and then go back stage and jam with whoever wanted to for hours after. So he was playing for 5-6 hours straight. The man was a beast.

    @sonnywolfblues Рік тому +4

    Appreciate your genuine soulful reaction....that's the power of the Blues and how it hits the soul.The performance is from his epic show he played at the El Mocambo club in 1983 just as he was starting to get known and many consider this show his finest work.I was lucky to see him live once in 1987 and it was a game changer for me and greatly inspired my guitar playing a few years later.If you love his guitar playing just listen to this over and over and eventually it will influence your own guitar playing.

    Stevie is one of the greats! That had so much talent in just his pinky finger. He also had crazy discipline and dedication to his art. He would literally practice over and over to the point where his fingers bled. Then he'd put super glue on those fingers and continue playing. In my opinion he's the goat when it comes to guitarist.

    I had the pleasure of watching his second to last show. At alpine valley. It was the 12th time I seen him live. Never a bad show. On stage with him, that night was eric clapton. Who at that time was considered the greatest guitar player. Eric was playing with stevie and just stopped and watched him play out of respect. Just incredible.
    Stevie died the next night In a helicopter crash, leaving his last show at alpine valley.
    Back then we used to go to buddy guys. Legends in chicago. We were at a Buddy Guy live show. At legends. Buddy was playing and stopped at our table and ask me if it was okay if he used my wife's fingernails to play. I said yes and she said yes. He finished playing the song with her finger nails. This was five years after stevie passed away. After he finished, he said thank you, and I just said you're welcome and I miss stevie. Buddy guy looked at me and said he was the greatest guitar player I have ever seen play. Coming from a great blues Guitar player like Buddy Guy is the ultimate compliment.

    Don't feel bad about wanting to throw your guitar away. In an interview, Eric Clapton said that after he heard SRV in London, he considered it as well because he feared he couldn't share a stage with SRV. He was an amazing artist. To make his speed even crazier, know that he played HEAVY string sets, usually 13s, and sped around them like they were nothing, bending them to his will. Tommy Shannon was a great companion on the bass, playing tight blues grooves that kept the songs moving while Stevie went crazy with his solos.
