Watching Stevie play live when he was in the kind of zone he was in here or during the entire El Mocambo recording is like having a Holy Ghost religious experience on a hot Saturday night in a revival tent somewhere down south. Stevie was the preacher that the scripture flowed through effortlessly, thus allowing his guitar to speak in tongues. Can I get an Amen!
I saw a documentary with Tommy Shannon, talking about before anyone knew who SRV was. Going around to music stores and Stevie picking up guitars and trying them out, sitting em back down and just walking out! Blowing peoples minds😂 Stevie said he used to go from bar to bar playing til they shut down, and he’d play til the calluses on his fingers would come off and bleed! So he kept krazy glue in his case, glue the calluses back on and keep playing! That’s why he was who he was the GOAT
I’ve never understood how being a pimp or described as a pimp is a complement, I personally think being a pimp is one of the lowest criminal careers there is honestly making money from selling women is just weak as piss
I agree, they really do need to see the Official vid to this song. I saw it on MTV when it first came out and it was hilarious. Everyone has to watch that video. BTW I am laughing at you guys so much, that must be some good pot. LOL
From what I have read Stevie always dressed this way, even just walking around town. I've read he didn't have any "plain clothes" that he wore. What you see onstage is what he just naturally would wear everywhere.
@@poundinthastreets yeah he dressed like a pimp sometimes every time I see a picture of him and Jimmy together would think the good fella and the rocker or pimp depending on what Stevie had on lol but it didn’t matter how he dressed he knew how to play and blow people away
@@shirleybuffington6420 certainly not. He was a god among men in the music world. But I, for one, really liked the south Texas pimp vibe lol. I couldn’t pull it off if I wanted to, but he made it work for him lol.
heard that in an interview with the drummer and bassist when doing an interview in 1999 at El Mocambo. They talked about Stevie as a person and how he respected all the blues legends.
One of Double Trouble spoke about his style. Talked about being in a mall and Stevie had some crazy shit on but acted like it was nothing. Every once in a while he would wonder what they were looking at, the other guys knew but they were like jeans and a T for him so he was oblivious. Dress like who you are I guess. First time I saw him live I was like, "what's with all the flash? Then he opened with Scuttle Butt and I went "oh yeah, that's why, he's friggin' awesome”.
You guys are so fun‼️. You crack me up. There is actually a funny video these guys made with this song. Very humorous and true at the same time. Would love to see you guys cracking up with it. Also his rendition of "Lenny", an instrumental love song he wrote from this same concert in Japan shows his tenderness and soul that you really haven't seen before. Keep up the great work guys👏🙌👏🎉🪅✌️‼️
Like I've said in previous comments, standing in his presence while he played this music is something I still can't comprehend that I was there. Just a guy that played guitar really well was what I thought in 1990. Did I enjoy it? Hell yeah, but I thought who's gonna know how good this guy is besides me. Was I blessed to know him?
SRV was the mack daddy of the rock world and his girls were his guitars. Saw him 3 times and I would go home feeling as though I was in the presence of greatness. Thanks for your Reaction, he's just the best.
I wish y'all could have seen one of his shows, it would have been a night to remember. I saw him in Austin just a couple of months before his helicopter crash, he was phenomenal!
Chris Layton told the story of him and Stevie walking around a mall. Everyone’s staring. He realizes Stevie is wearing a purple hat, full length fur coat. Smoking a meerschaum pipe. 😂😂
If you guys want to see one of SRV's VERY BEST guitar performances check out "TEXAS FLOOD LIVE AT ELMOCAMBO" - its one of the most impressive blues/soul guitar performances ever recorded.
Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top gave Stevie that guitar. He has one with his name inscribed on the neck like that, and you can see him play it in some of the Rockpalast videos you've been watching.
I heard when you dress to be noticed, it's called peacocking. That might explain the tattoo on the right side of his chest. It's a peacock. Not sure what's on his left side. A bit of trivia for you. A female "peacock" is called a pea hen.
They did that a while ago, I believe it was one of their very first reaction to Stevie if not the first one, but Texas flood has a tendency to get blocked so that probably what happened. I’m so sad because they had a really great reaction
You need to check out some more Chickenfoot. Sammy Hagar on vocals, Michael Anthony (Van Halen) on bass, Joe Satriana on guitar, and Chad Smith from the Red Hot Chili Peppers on drums.
The coolest cat to wear a hat and play the strat.

I swear SRV was born with that guitar in his hands.
I've heard of Stevie's fashion sense described as "Texas Pimp".
I’ve never understood how being a pimp or described as a pimp is a complement, I personally think being a pimp is one of the lowest criminal careers there is honestly making money from selling women is just weak as piss
@@thecolonel9120 It's not the "pimp lifestyle" that they are complementing... it's the fashion sense... think '70's funk.
You have to watch the official video to this.. I love it! I believe it was on MTV...
I think Suzi is a Blues Chick trapped in a metal band.
100%
If you want to see the kind of humor he has check out the official video for this song I think you will enjoy it

SRV--Riviera Paradise or Lenny…a whole other side of Stevie
From what I have read Stevie always dressed this way, even just walking around town. I've read he didn't have any "plain clothes" that he wore. What you see onstage is what he just naturally would wear everywhere.
This is true
True story. Stevie was a south Texas pimp for real…
@@poundinthastreets yeah he dressed like a pimp sometimes every time I see a picture of him and Jimmy together would think the good fella and the rocker or pimp depending on what Stevie had on lol but it didn’t matter how he dressed he knew how to play and blow people away

Love yall's SRV reactions. Yall should check out an early recording of him playing "The sky is crying" from Rome Inn in 1980.
I really love the sky is crying!!!
The music video to Cold shot is freaking hilarious!!!
Suzi is just one of the coolest chic's ever ! John Mayer said his voice was Gravels with honey poured over them ! Perfect explanation .

I totally agree, I love the video to this, it is a riot!
You guys need to watch the video for Cold Shot! Its hilarious!!
Yes please do cause it's hysterical!! That video was my first SRV experience, I'll never forget that one, been my fave ever since.

You rule ! Guys Suzi is red in face ahah and has taken some Sun also .What a guitarist !
SRV was the mack daddy of the rock world and his girls were his guitars.
Saw him 3 times and I would go home feeling as though I was in the presence of greatness. Thanks for your Reaction, he's just the best.
omg yall killing meeee haha
My wife always thought this song was ‘Let’s Go Shopping’. I can’t hear the song any other way now… Great tune.
dude dressed so awesomely lol
Stevie’s fashion sense was a combination between Jimi Hendrix and Prince then add a slight Texas flare in there to make it his own.
I read a comment a few months ago that said when you play like Stevie and dress like Stevie you endorse your paycheck....BADASS 🎶🎵
Love this song
You guys should check out "Lenny" from this concert...Live in Japan...smooth and jazzy...You would love it!! SRV could play anything!!
You guys are having so much fun, luv it, can I join the party? hehe yeah Stevie was an extrovert for sure RIP Stevie..
I wish y'all could have seen one of his shows, it would have been a night to remember. I saw him in Austin just a couple of months before his helicopter crash, he was phenomenal!
You guys HAVE to see the official video to this song. It’s hilarious!!
I think Jimi Hendrix inspired SRV:s choice of clothing as well as musically. Freak out! style
This was so funny. I couldn't stop laughing. Last time you guys made me laugh like that was on a Steve Vai video you reacted to!
He was such a legend of that bluesy rock
Chris Layton told the story of him and Stevie walking around a mall. Everyone’s staring. He realizes Stevie is wearing a purple hat, full length fur coat. Smoking a meerschaum pipe. 😂😂
I met him at a pizza place in what used to be Redbird Mall. In South Oak Cliff. He was not what you'd call incognito.
It's Sunburn Suzi!
Best 3 piece blues combo ever.
