HalfLifeSistah would LOVE Stevie's "Riviera Paradise". All instrumental, beautiful, blues, a Stevie original, and so beautiful it's guaranteed to make her cry. Makes me tear up.
@@jamescowan3651 it’s called influence, I’m sure you’ve played many songs by other bands and guitarist. If you say you haven’t it’s a blatant lie. Stevie was just really good at doing it and brought a whole different sound to the music. Stay humble man.
Sista, every musician on earth hopes to have an audience listen to their music the way you do.

SRV was THE ONLY Artist who could cover Jimi with proper justice and he did it in a Pure & Natural fashion. He did not copy Jimi....He Vaughan-icized Jimi.
@@aleksanderpedersen3566 I never heard of him so I googled him and checked out his Voodoo Child video. Now I know why I never heard of him. So I repeat---- SRV was the ONLY Artist who could properly cover Jimi in a pure & natural fashion...... NOT attempt to COPY Jimi like hansen and his playing is not even close. 👎
Thank you, I'm so sick of people hating on stevie ray vaughn saying copied jimis style.that couldn't be farther from the truth. When Stevie covered jimis songs he did it with nothing but respect and at the same time made it all his own
If Gary Moore still lived he might want to have a word with you ;)

@@saschaschneider6355 1st- Gary Moore was a GREAT player/Artist. His Blues Alive album is phenomenal. Could he have played Jimi's Music ?.... quite possibly....but he didn't choose to (publicly anyway). Jimi has been covered by other prominent Artists (Little Wing being 1 example) The Music industry has given us so many GREAT guitarists over time each unique in their style & Greatness. There really is no 1 great guitarist, they all were Great in their own way BUT it was SRV with Double Trouble who put their stamp on Voodoo Child with a Texas flavor and his unique (natural) style afforded him that Honor in a truly dignified fashion. Combining BOTH the playing & vocal ability, I really believe no one could have covered that song to the level that SRV & DT did. Gary Moore was GREAT ! But it was SRV who stepped up when it came to Jimi.
I have no idea how I even got to this video but here I am. I also have never heard this song and have never listed to Stevie Ray Vaughan. I think the funniest part of this whole video is the guy stating: "Im not a Stevie fan" and then the artist busts out this freaking master piece. Like seriously this is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen anyone do on a guitar.
I am IN LOVE with watching you feel the music with every fiber of your beautiful soul. I get tears of joy when you are overwhelmed by vibrational emotion. HalfLifeSistah, you are a beautiful person with a beautiful mind and a beautiful soul. ❤☺🎧🌹🎶🎸🎷❤
Its easy to play in your own style, and to play something in tbe style of the originator. But to play both in your own style AND channel the core essence of the originator at the same time requires GOAT skill level and something remarkable from the soul.
Stevie Ray was the GOAT...he went far beyond blues..He used extra heavy gauge strings and would bend them an inch when he played. Hie fingertips had 1/4 inch callouses on them.
He was 35 when he died. The thing is, when he cleaned up, his guitar playing improved,like, 150%. His voice improved also gradually. It just got cleaner sounding. He is incredible.
Only one person has ever won a Grammy for covering Jimi Hendrix: Stevie Ray Vaughan. Think about that for a minute... someone won a Grammy covering the untouchable Jimi Hendrix. That's insane. If you had to say one thing about him definitively, it's that SRV is the most underrated guitarist of all time. All we hear are the same 3 studio tracks on the radio over and over again... but nobody knows about his impressive live body of work, his jazz offshoots, his acoustic performances, collaborations... hell, the fact his lead guitar work practically gave Bowie's 'Let's Dance' album it's signature sound. Nobody knows his TRUE genius. I'm working on a project that aims to change that...
SRV was so natural, and I don't think I've ever seen him play a song the same way twice. He just played what he felt like and it always feels like his soul is talking directly to your soul by way of his guitar. It just flows out of him.
Innit no I hate metal, and rap. Then again it sucks. You're beautiful wife gets it. You must be a very s special guy, I tip my hat to you. Man how did you pull off snagging her. 😉
Yeah, when Stevie played, everyone stopped what they were doing and just stared in awe. You need to do a reaction to his live version of Voodoo Child during his Austin City Limits show in 89' I do believe. It's just as every bit mind blowing as this song. When you have guitarists like Clapton saying they just can't do what he does, that's saying something.
Sistah will cry when she hears Stevie play a song called Riviera Paradise which he always dedicated to anyone suffering in the world. I'd bet money she will cry.
One of the amazing things to watch during this video are the close ups of his left hand. He plays much heavier gauge strings than almost anyone ever put on a guitar, and he completely manhandles them. John Mayer guessed he would only last a few minutes bending strings this heavy.
An additional FYI about SRV & his music... Stevie had freakishly strong hands/fingers and strung his guitars with the thickest gauge strings available; I understand before the strings he wanted were commercially available he used piano strings. That's why he waa able to wring such incredible sounds from his axe... you can hear the strings "protesting" as he manipulates them. They were so heavy that virtually no one else could play the instrument. One last thing: he didn't sing during Little Wing because it was an instrumental. Jimi didn't sing during his version either.
Sistah, your reaction was perfect. You don't hear SRV play, you FEEL it. When you watch him, you're seeing someone channel the blues, not just play them. The guitar is an extension of his body, and his body is a conduit for the music. I second the motion for Texas Flood. Listen to it next; when he sings it will blow you away! Jimi who?
I read he was a really sweet guy even though he had a tough life, his father was very abusive, thankfully he got sober, became Born Again and had found a nice girl (sounds like he was unlucky in love), he was rushing back to Chicago to be with her when he got on that helicopter
Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert King in session, SRV and Johnny Copeland 'Tin Pan Alley', SRV and Jeff Healey 'Look At Little Sister', Stevie Ray Vaughan 'Texas Flood' and 'Lenny' live from El Mocambo
He was 35 years old when he perished. His brothers name is Jimmie he was a member of the band Fabulous Thunderbirds. I love Stevie. He's rhe best, a great humanitarian. Correction. He never toured or met Jimi Hendrix but was a fan and wanted to show his respect for his music through his covers. RIP SRV. Thanks for all the love you passed our way. You should play her a SRV with vocals so she can hear his honey gravely voice. Aint Gonna Give Up On Love or Texas Flood. Maybe Little Sister or my Favorite, Life Without You. Heis biggest infuence was his older brother Jimmie Vaughan. Wow! We miss you Stevie. Voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015, 25 years after his death with over 18 million votes! SRV forever!!!!
HalfLifeSistah and Wolfkain, Stevie Ray does a superb rendition of Stevie Wonder's "Superstion" and I think you would love it. Will rock your socks off. Thanks for your video.
If you listen to Stevie Ray Vaughn & Double Trouble's live performance of Riviera Paradise, from their Live From Austin performance, I guarantee you will cry your guts out. It is so gorgeously sad. Unfortunately, the only place I've been able to find it, has been on Vimeo. So, trying to react to it, on UA-cam, might be tricky. But it's soooo worth it.
His brother is Jimmy. SRV's chopper pilot wasn't instrument rated and a sudden fog descended, they hit a nearby ski hill, missed clearing it by about 75 feet.
For most guitarists, the guitar becomes part of their body. For SRV, his guitar becomes part of his soul, and his music came straight from his soul. At the end, that was the intro to Third Stone From the Sun. I'm a metal head by nature, but I love some SRV. I knew she was gonna cry on that one. :-D I love your channel. Finally subscribing today.
@@BumKnuckle And we have to mention The Arc Angels, the band that the surviving members of Double Trouble formed, with Jimmie Vaughn as the lead singer. Remember that song "Sent By Angels"?
Sister I feel ya, the most beautiful sounds my ears have ever heard come from an electric guitar, is can literally transcend from the pitfalls of the earthly realm!
Less than a month older than me, I listened to SRV & his brother, Jimmie all through the 80s, from Dallas-FW to Austin & Corpus Christi in live music venues. (He was born 10/03/1954). He was considered an idiot savant by many. His idol was Hendrix. RIP Stevie. 💔✌🏻
Stevie was about 16 when Jimi died..He did not ever meet Jimi....He did tour with Clapton. In fact, Clapton, as I remember it, was in another helicopter when the crash occurred.
Texas Legend. We have a statue of SRV here in Austin Texas. If y'all ever come to Austin, lemme know and Ill direct it to you. Its in downtown on the river front (Town Lake)
@@JB-xh5mc You are absolutely right about that. It's just that to me Jimi was so much better in a musical sense ( songwriting, producing, inventing new sounds, improvising, to name a few). Only thing is that SRV was more consistent because Jimi sometimes was out of it and quite sloppy. Jimi Hendrix was a visionary, a true genius and with all due respect, But SRV was not a genius. He was intense, fierce, technically proficient but also quite one-dimensional. But you are right, everybody has the right to have their preferences even though I will never understand why someone would pick SRV's Voodoo Child over Jimi's Royal Albert Hall or Berkeley version and his Little wing ( which I really love) over Jimi's studio and Royal Albert Hall version. You may perceive this as arrogance but I assure you, this is just a very deep feeling I have.
If you go and find as many live videos of him playing this song or any of the songs he played and you watch them all he basically never really played the songs the same way, it's amazing how he makes little changes in how he plays the songs and it's like hearing the same songs but in a new way every time. Amazing
This concert was in Toronto at the El Mocambo Night Club, I had a tape of this for 25 years that I pirated from City TV in Toronto. Still the best concert ever, SRV was so good, The GOAT. I still watch him on UA-cam when I need a lift. Thanks for your perspective.
I LOVE THE BLUES!!!! Stevie was one of a kind that amazed everybody even the blues men that have been playing for many years before him. I would truly love for you to react you and and I think you would really love... HAVE YOU EVER REALLY LOVED A WOMAN- FREDDIE KING live from Europe
Blues fan or not just one day close ur eyes don’t think about it just listen to the subtleties and feel it, and u will be listening exactly the way a blues musician plays...✌️🇺🇸🎸🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶
I'm not quite sure, but I think that's the first time I witnessed someone having an eargasm :o But Stevie is, and always will be, my favorite guitar player. I do prefer Metal nowadays, but without Stevie's influence, I probably never would have liked metal. I'll always love and respect Stevie for giving me a musical identity :)
For me Stevie is a perfect combination of all the greatest electric guitar masters in one person,his intensity,Technic and especially feeling is still to these days untouchable, i love Hendrix but Stevie, man if you know SRV art i am sure he is the man on any list
One of my all time favorite songs! I seen him twice and the last time was right before he passed away.. if there is anyone who could totally appreciate this man would be the the Lady I love to watch! Hope you love it as much as I love it!
Totally respect your view wolf. That was well articulated. Except, I would argue, he's up there past most blues guitarists. Honestly, Clapton doesn't do much for me, as a guitarist. He's called slow hand for a reason. SRV brought feeling, speed, and amazing technique.
You mention Richie Valens... Not only him died that day. Both Big Bopper and Buddy Holly shared the same flight as Richie and died in the same crash. This day; February 3, is by many considerd as "the day Music died", and mention in Don Mcleans song "American Pie", which has been covered by many… Most famous? Madonna i Guess?
Waylon Jennings (a bass player at the time ) for. Buddy Holley was supposed to be on that plane, last minute change saved his life, Waylon struggled with that his entire life. R.I.P. ALL...
Stevie played this show at the El Mocambo nightclub up in Toronto, Canada, if memory serves, I believe back in 1983, and I would still argue to this day it's the greatest entire set ever caught on film of him live while Stevie was still alive. Every song he did that night was absolutely epic and off the hook! If Hendrix himself had been alive to see Stevie's performances that night of his two songs "Little Wing" and "Voodoo Chile", there's nobody that would tell you faster than Hendrix himself that Stevie Ray had just taken those two songs to a further rock from the sun than even he himself could've ever taken them in my very humble opinion. Jimi Hendrix will always be a legend, but Stevie Ray Vaughan's talent will forever be remembered as an absolute freak of nature, and trust me when I say there's most definitely a big difference. I doubt we'll ever see Stevie's likes again, at least not in my lifetime.
awesome. Love SRV. My dad used to play his stuff all the time. Curious if you guys ever ended up checking out newer Nightwish stuff like Greatest Show on Earth.
The sweat is because that was a time in his life he was on a heavy amount of whiskey and coke. He had a bad drug habit. He eventually got clean but I argue you his high performances are so much more gripping
To halflifesistah : You are so beautiful and your reactions are so deep and pure and you have the intelligence to have the patience to give the unknown a chance is awesome ! I enjoy your joy ,thank you. I was at Alpine valley Wisc. for his last show, we will never forget
SRV is the only man on the face of the Earth who said to himself, Hendrix isn't hard enough. I know! I'll play the vocal line simultaneously with the guitar line.
How could u not like the BLUES? So much emotion and truth. I wasn't even gonna listen 2 u speak abt Stevie and his superb version of Little Wing. I read a few comments, and it seems ur woman thete digs it, so I'm gonna go back and watch her. But seriously, dude, something is wrong w/u if u can't dig blues. I have never heard anyone say that, young or old. Also, I stood about 10 feet away from Stevie at his last show, the nite he died. He is wonderful at communicati g w/ those of us up in front Miss him all the time Try 2 widen ur horizons. Also, blues is great makin love music
SRV will forever be an icon of Texas blues and the master of the Stratocaster. I was privileged to have seen him live several times and to have been friends Cutter and Peggy Brandenberg who spent years with Stevie on the road and shared many personal stories of their time spent with Stevie in our conversations.
HalfLifeSistah would LOVE Stevie's "Riviera Paradise". All instrumental, beautiful, blues, a Stevie original, and so beautiful it's guaranteed to make her cry. Makes me tear up.
Probably the best guitarist to ever play the instrument. This is like watching Mozart playing the piano and just riffing.
If Stevie doesn't give you chills, check your pulse.
Stevie was a cheap white. Copy

He’s got him a good woman here. Anyone who knows enough to cry in appreciation at the sound of Stevie Ray’s guitar is a keeper. RESPECT ✊🏾
Indeed!!
You need to react to Stevie Ray Vaughn - Texas Flood (Live at the El Mocambo)
Absolutely
Yes, Texas Flood. Real Texas Blues.
Then react to Lenny right after that. Same show.
Also 3rd Stone From The Sun , also on the Live At El Mocambo

Yes- SRV is certainly the guitar GOAT
Best to ever do it, right there.

BB King said SRV was one of the greatest blues guitarists that ever lived...
As did Clapton..."Greatest Guitarist on the Planet..." High praise indeed!
BB King is one of the greatest men that's ever lived.
BBK called SRV his 'White son.' He said that while he played words and sentences, Stevie just threw out whole paragraphs in front of you.
BB King said "To truly play the blues you have to be black twice...Stevie missed on both counts but I never noticed"

Blues fan or not just one day close ur eyes don’t think about it just listen to the subtleties and feel it, and u will be listening exactly the way a blues musician plays...✌️🇺🇸🎸🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶
I'm not quite sure, but I think that's the first time I witnessed someone having an eargasm :o But Stevie is, and always will be, my favorite guitar player. I do prefer Metal nowadays, but without Stevie's influence, I probably never would have liked metal. I'll always love and respect Stevie for giving me a musical identity :)
He did not tour with Jimi as you said. he was probably about 15 when Jimi died
Absolutely right!!!
For me Stevie is a perfect combination of all the greatest electric guitar masters in one person,his intensity,Technic and especially feeling is still to these days untouchable, i love Hendrix but Stevie, man if you know SRV art i am sure he is the man on any list
One of my all time favorite songs! I seen him twice and the last time was right before he passed away.. if there is anyone who could totally appreciate this man would be the the Lady I love to watch! Hope you love it as much as I love it!
Hi, sunshine!😃
I am happy that you got to witness his greatness live!
I really enjoyed hin and want more!💜
I was knocked down when I learned he couldn't read sheet music... RIP Stevie Ray...
Totally respect your view wolf. That was well articulated. Except, I would argue, he's up there past most blues guitarists.
Honestly, Clapton doesn't do much for me, as a guitarist. He's called slow hand for a reason.
SRV brought feeling, speed, and amazing technique.
Next up: tin pan alley
Awesome reaction as always , 🥰 and he 35 when his helicopter crashed on August 27, 1990
Oh, wow! He was so young!!😢
I thought he was 34 at the time of the crash
Birthday October 3rd 1954
@@jodyvige6143 he died 1 month before his 36th BDay
Don't worry, HalfLifeSistah, SRV makes us cry all the time. Keep exploring his life and music. He was a beautiful soul.
You mention Richie Valens...
Not only him died that day.
Both Big Bopper and Buddy Holly shared the same flight as Richie and died in the same crash.
This day; February 3, is by many considerd as "the day Music died", and mention in Don Mcleans song "American Pie", which has been covered by many… Most famous? Madonna i Guess?
Waylon Jennings (a bass player at the time ) for. Buddy Holley was supposed to be on that plane, last minute change saved his life, Waylon struggled with that his entire life. R.I.P. ALL...
You and this song need to get a room lol
The most underrated thing about SRV is his voice. You simply most try Texas Flood on for size. Live version is sublime
Could not agree more! He had an amazing voice and always gave it his all.
Keep up the good work
You guys really dig into the bands history and enjoy great music.
Stevie played this show at the El Mocambo nightclub up in Toronto, Canada, if memory serves, I believe back in 1983, and I would still argue to this day it's the greatest entire set ever caught on film of him live while Stevie was still alive. Every song he did that night was absolutely epic and off the hook! If Hendrix himself had been alive to see Stevie's performances that night of his two songs "Little Wing" and "Voodoo Chile", there's nobody that would tell you faster than Hendrix himself that Stevie Ray had just taken those two songs to a further rock from the sun than even he himself could've ever taken them in my very humble opinion. Jimi Hendrix will always be a legend, but Stevie Ray Vaughan's talent will forever be remembered as an absolute freak of nature, and trust me when I say there's most definitely a big difference. I doubt we'll ever see Stevie's likes again, at least not in my lifetime.
awesome. Love SRV. My dad used to play his stuff all the time. Curious if you guys ever ended up checking out newer Nightwish stuff like Greatest Show on Earth.
Would love to see Sistah react to SRV's "Tin Pan Alley", but she might literally burst into flames and explode.
The sweat is because that was a time in his life he was on a heavy amount of whiskey and coke. He had a bad drug habit. He eventually got clean but I argue you his high performances are so much more gripping
I like how his music drove you two closer together.
To halflifesistah : You are so beautiful and your reactions are so deep and pure and you have the intelligence to have the patience to give the unknown a chance is awesome ! I enjoy your joy ,thank you. I was at Alpine valley Wisc. for his last show, we will never forget
Stevie was (is) a guitar God. Sadly he passed away at such a young age, 35. I think halflifesistah would love Texas Flood or Look At Little Sister.
SRV is the only man on the face of the Earth who said to himself, Hendrix isn't hard enough. I know! I'll play the vocal line simultaneously with the guitar line.
Another fact about SRV, his father died 4 years earlier on the same day. R.I.P. SRV!!!
Really? I never knew that?
@@anthonyrodriguez2382 yeah, kind of creepy.
@@mikestewart2520 my son was born the day before the anniversary of his death
We love SRV here in Texas! He's an icon.
Simply awesome
Stevie lives in our hearts and he can still bring a grown man/woman to tears. goosebumps for everyone!
When it comes to Blues Rock guitar, SRV is the G.O.A.T!.
He's an easy 7+ of 10 vocally also
I'm pretty sure HalfLifeSistah had an out of body experience lol.
How could u not like the BLUES? So much emotion and truth. I wasn't even gonna listen 2 u speak abt Stevie and his superb version of Little Wing. I read a few comments, and it seems ur woman thete digs it, so I'm gonna go back and watch her. But seriously, dude, something is wrong w/u if u can't dig blues. I have never heard anyone say that, young or old. Also, I stood about 10 feet away from Stevie at his last show, the nite he died. He is wonderful at communicati g w/ those of us up in front
Miss him all the time
Try 2 widen ur horizons. Also, blues is great makin love music
SRV will forever be an icon of Texas blues and the master of the Stratocaster. I was privileged to have seen him live several times and to have been friends Cutter and Peggy Brandenberg who spent years with Stevie on the road and shared many personal stories of their time spent with Stevie in our conversations.
He was only 35
Loved your reaction , girl. That's what SRV does to me too. Subscribing right now.
I love his Voodoo Chile.
I cry too still !
