The best description of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s voice I ever heard was from John Mayer. He said it was “honey over gravel” and I think that’s perfect. He’s my favorite guitarist of all time and that voice seals the deal
@@napoleonwilson6499 not so much anymore. he's still pretty verbose and overly descriptive sometimes, but man has he changed overall. he plays with the remaining members of the Grateful Dead now.
Consider: from the moment he broke the string to the time he hit the first note on the replacement guitar, it took precisely 30 seconds - and zero beats missed! He and his crew were badasses!
Manuel Usteri yeah they said right before his death he had gone to like 9s or 10s on family style cuz he had tendonitis but still sounded the same and that just goes to show tone is all in the fingers.
I love how Stevie just kinda lays back and keeps the rythm pumping for him to shine on the keys. This band was always so tight and just "in the pocket" everytime they took the stage. So many of the musicians of today could learn so much watching them.
According to Stevie’s tech, he most often played GHS Nickel Rockers (and sometimes Boomers) in the following gauges: .013 -- .015 -- .019p -- .028 -- .038 -- .058
Most people don't realize how difficult is is to bend like he does for a whole set strung with 13s. Well for mere mortals anyway. I tried it once out of curiosity and have never done it again.
Sure was, I have some fond memories of watching this with my dad back then. He hated all the music I listened to but when this came on PBS back then we were both I think equally blown away. A true master of his craft.
Chiller1967 does anyone know what month it was recorded? You can see the backdrop is Austin City Limits - just an excellent show & SRV was Clean&Sober & performing & sounding just so good RIP SRV You’re A Guitar God Dude
Big thanks to Rene Martinez, guitar tech supreme, for the seamless switch over. Both Rene Martinez and Cesar Diaz(RIP) were the guys behind SRV's incredible sound. Having seen Stevie twice while he was alive, it was the closest thing to a religious experience that I could imagine. It's what motivated me to be a better guitarist and performer.
That's not sweat pouring from his pores, it's soul. Pure soul. RIP brother Stevie. The world of blues music is a better place, just because of you. Miss you.
The sober SRV lol i met this guy once he was a friend of my aunts so nice he just ate and played for us it was so cool. He also bought her the house i grew up in . A master peice of a man.
@@Rustafarian71 I saw him in 1985 opening up for Dire Straits on the Brothers in Arms tour - 2 of the greatest guitarists of all time in one night - WOW !!!
@@reallymysterious4393 Man, I swear I was just listening to "Sultan's of Swing" The Very Best of Dire Strait's Yesterday! Bought the CD about a month ago. Great minds and all that. Haha.
Omg 8 just saved that video and could not stop laughing but then Stevies passing away on hospital bed kinda got me til he was revived guitar in hand and finished the song!R.I.P....SRV or crank it to 11 in guitar heaven! ✌💛🤘
Pride and joy. Anywhere, anytime. Consistently guitarists favorite. I've been goofing around with guitar for 40 yrs. I would LITERALLY give my little toe to be able to not only play half as good but to be able to commune with God via my fingers, heart and soul. I have dropped into the zone while playing but SRV is a whole another level. Peace, love and hope. RIP BROTHER
Yes, I saw SRV, Eric Clapton and Jeff Healey together a few months before SRV died. It was just one long jam session of 3 amazing guitar players enjoying themselves. Pure art!
You know how you can tell he likes it for real? He isn’t acting over the top with every verse and guitar lick. He’s listening and not giving nonsensical nonsense.
So amazing how he completely changed his life.. Getting sober and clean and coming back ABSOLUTELY better than ever. I think about that, his recovery, brings me to tears!
I remember sitting with my late husband and hearing the news that he had died in a crash... so heartbreaking. We had recently watched his PBS performances and were big fans. I'm so glad to see others being introduced to his music... he was one of a kind.
SRV my man from Sunny South Dallas! He grew up on KKDA still the best AM Blues ever. He was a sweet soul and always picked up his Momma in a new Cadillac Car Hey Hey Hey RIP SRV we remember you as a beautiful man.
Your reaction corresponds with what I've always thought--SRV's singing gets overshadowed by his guitar playing, obviously, but he had a good smoky voice that was perfect for the genre. And he wrote a lot of his own songs, and the lyrics are worth listening to. I had a friend from high school who was actually in drug rehab with him, before he was famous, and from what she told me, his songs came from deep down. That what he brings; it's not just his musical genius, it's that he really puts his whole being into it. You can feel it when he plays. (note: while we're admiring that smooth guitar changeover when the string broke, let's also give a hand to the savvy stage hand who was right there and knew exactly what to do. Kudos, Mr. Stage Hand.)
Ummm, sorry... ZZ Top ain't even close. They may have started out with a unique sound and style for Texas Blues, but then they sold out for commercial air-play. Stevie was always true to his roots and didn't take nothing from any record yahoo.
I have watched another reactor to this video and he was not paying enough attention and didnt even NOTICE dude switched guitars. :) Thats how good stevie is. People went nuts in the comments
I spent many hours sitting on the bluff of the Muddy Mississippi River in Memphis listening to that straight up magical blues guitar. Great memories of Stevie Ray, he’s one of the best. RIP.
Just wanted to say, I really appreciate the respect you show to the entertainers you review on your videos. It doesn't matter if they're musicians, comedians, ventriloquist or whatever, you embrace their chosen venue and enjoy their talents like the rest of us. You go into each one with an open heart, mind, and soul. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll be around for a while. Gil
Try "Cold Shot" and "Mary Had A Little Lamb", yea the nursery rhyme, from this same Austin show. Funky as all hell and plenty of your church organ in both. IMO the best performance/concert here on UA-cam by anyone.
This is a sample of a pic of legend..r u with me? Stevie Ray Vaughan is phenomenal..in every way ..great band and the rhythem and lyrics are spectacular..and then some..There will never be another musician with an electric guitar to be on center stage and take all the grammies in superiority..This is the beautiful in every twist and turn..RIP Stevie..You gave your all..
Sooooo glad you finally reacted to this one! So many great moments all in one. From the absolutely PHENOMENAL Reese Wynans to the smoothest guitar swap EVER! Haha. Nobody could touch Double Trouble!! And how about that stage hand?! Great job swapping and getting it set up with ZERO interference! That’s a man who knows Stevie!
..."he didn't miss a damn beat...(then you said>>>)"atall"...lol Man, you are now officially, my only reactionary channel...that's it! The only one. I consider it a blessing in one's life to know or be friends with, 'real people' people who are true... true to themselves and to everyone around them. And just by watching you react to videos, I know that you are one of those people. Seriously, it's privileged status when watching your videos. Thanks for watching Stevie Ray...he was one of the finest!
You make me love SRV all over again. And when you look right into the camera b/c of a tasty part, it goes right into my soul, and I go, “That’s right! , you’re hearing what you’re hearing!”. What fun! Love you dude, TY!
It’s a damn shame SRV died so young, he was a great guitarist, song writer, performer. One of Stevie’s greatest influences was Jimi Hendrix. As a guitarist there are a handful of guitarists that totally impress me, Stevie Ray Vaughn was one of them. Some more SRV to check out. Cold Shot Texas Flood Crossfire Pride and Joy Voodoo Chile \m/ Stay Metal \m/
Watch "Tightrope" from the same live performance.. SRV with some attitude!! Stank face for days!!! If I could see one reaction video, it would be for this song! 👍
got to see his last show at Alpine Valley...drove home to Chicago and when i got to school the next day, everybody was upset..thats how i found out about the accident. My first day of my senior year to boot
@@TheRagratus saddest part was he was happy and sober..he was stoked to just be there. I didnt rank him high in my guitarist list because he was a sloppy, but amazing player...then i heard Riviera Paradise when he was sober...Double Trouble and SRV were a machine when that dropped...no masturbation, a true group effort
@@LittleTrixter Jeff Healey was another of my heroes. I saw him live at a radio station concert, KATTFest, in the 80s. He was 3 feet from me. Man could play the blues!
You gotta give it up to the guitar tech to have the presence of mind to have the guitar ready for the switch and then fasten the strap as SRV is playing.
Once you get in SRV world you will never go back, he was a guitar-blues god, he had it all, gone to soon..Keep it up with SRV videos he will blow your mind,legend!!
This is my favourite song from Stevie. I don’t know how he does half the stuff on his guitar but man what a great song. His guitar skills are out of this world. No one left on earth to compare him too. What a treasure we had and it was such a loss when he passed. All the great artists seem to pass away young.
Love Stevie ray love them love them love them I could listen to him all day long and I hope you play them as often as you can I know this is back a year ago bring him back for an anchor I love them Liz the queen I haven’t heard from you in a long time Jamel
Cocaine and whiskey fueled greatness right there. It's so sad that he got clean and then lost his life in a different way. I take it back, this was 1989, so this was after he got sober.
I'm sitting here LMAO at you Jamal~!!!! GOAT for sure!!! When his heli went down, I felt the SAME way everyone is feeling today about KB & his family/friends. GD helicopters.....taken too many! Stevie was a force of nature, top blues man of all time!
I was lucky enough to see SRV live back in the early 80s when I was a teen - met him too!!! What an incredible night! Was right in the front row - could reach out and touch his guitar he was so close - small nightclub! There will never be anyone else like him!! RIP Stevie xoxo
That guitar tech deserves a tip of the hat also.
You got that right. Knowing when to get out there and get the guitar in position so he doesn't miss a beat is huge.
Wally Martinez. Best in the business!
Actually its Rene Martinez ... he came out of retirement to be guitar tech for John Mayer .... search on UA-cam "John Mayer 200 guitars"

Stevie Ray was greater than G.O.A.T. He was a real true virtuoso.

Consider: from the moment he broke the string to the time he hit the first note on the replacement guitar, it took precisely 30 seconds - and zero beats missed! He and his crew were badasses!
And he kept playing with the broken string, not missing a note.
Straight up pure Texas Blues! Proud Texan!
No matter how heavy the gauge, they could not make a guitar string that could withstand SRV's Hulk hands, that dude was a straight up BEAST.
It was said he used bass strings for a while. I know he used heavier gauge strings than most any other player.
56 13
Manuel Usteri yeah they said right before his death he had gone to like 9s or 10s on family style cuz he had tendonitis but still sounded the same and that just goes to show tone is all in the fingers.
@@manuelusteri3380 he stopped using 13s after he got sober
Stevie said he went to lighter strings because he could actually feel the pain without the drugs.
Shout out to the hard working roadies and guitar techs who make shows like this possible: the stars behind the scenes .
That's Reese Wynans on the keyboards. He's now playing keyboard in Joe Bonamassa's band.
John Locke He needs to do a deep dive into Joe...
Reese just released his first (!!!) album. Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Joe, yeah - good blues. Covers "Crossfire".
@@scottwerner1635 YESSS!!!
John Locke he also played in the Allman Brothers before Greg joined. The very beginning.
I love how Stevie just kinda lays back and keeps the rythm pumping for him to shine on the keys. This band was always so tight and just "in the pocket" everytime they took the stage. So many of the musicians of today could learn so much watching them.
4:32 -- Stevie Ray is kewler than the other side of the pillow... He's unstoppable.
hope he and Stuart are having a good time...."cooler than the other side the pillow"
GREATEST GUITARIST EVER Period.
Wrong Jimi hendrix was the best. It's not a debate
At times Jimi was sloppy
@@joshuahuf9747 It is debatable. Hendrix was one of the greatest artists but, far from the greatest guitarist of all time.
@@NicRidic it's not even close to debatable. you gotta do more reaserch on jimi dude
@@joshuahuf9747 Buddy Guy schooled Hendrix
Can we have a little appreciation for the guitar tech as well? That was one fine change over.
Note the the pickup switch was on the correct pickup, and it was turned up too.
SRV used heavier strings than most guitarists, but he played so hard, he broke them anyways.
I'm pretty sure he used 13's
According to Stevie’s tech, he most often played GHS Nickel Rockers (and sometimes Boomers) in the following gauges:
.013 -- .015 -- .019p -- .028 -- .038 -- .058
He stopped using the 13's by then because he's said he wasn't coked up all the time by then. He was using 11's by then.
Most people don't realize how difficult is is to bend like he does for a whole set strung with 13s. Well for mere mortals anyway. I tried it once out of curiosity and have never done it again.
Imagine doing 2 1/2 step bends on a .015 B string. My fingertip started bleeding just from typing this.
The Vaughn brothers are Texas born and raised. Texas never runs out of gifted performers
This recorded for the show Austin City Limits in Austin Texas
Back in '89
Sure was, I have some fond memories of watching this with my dad back then. He hated all the music I listened to but when this came on PBS back then we were both I think equally blown away. A true master of his craft.

Another song that he sings a bit more in is “Cold Shot”. If you can watch the actual music video for it, you will not be disappointed.
No Stevies were harmed in the making of this film.
Especially the version from this show, Austin City Limits. Reese Wynans MUR.DERS. a Hammond organ solo in that one.
Cold Shot is so good. The groove is infectious!

That guy on the piano was top notch. So unbelievably great. ❤ Like Steve and other band members

I'm sitting here LMAO at you Jamal~!!!! GOAT for sure!!! When his heli went down, I felt the SAME way everyone is feeling today about KB & his family/friends. GD helicopters.....taken too many! Stevie was a force of nature, top blues man of all time!
Glad you discovered the blues. I love rock, and punk, but the blues has a very special place in my heart.
these musicians are badasses
I was lucky enough to see SRV live back in the early 80s when I was a teen - met him too!!! What an incredible night! Was right in the front row - could reach out and touch his guitar he was so close - small nightclub! There will never be anyone else like him!! RIP Stevie xoxo
He was a Legend.
