Yeah that was him. Jaw-dropping. I was lucky enough to get to see him three times before he died in that helicopter crash. As talented as he was, he always just seemed so authentic and so real.
Bet it was awesome
I was there that night, and it's the last concert I've been to.
I'm jealous. I am 66 years old and never saw him....never understood his talent level until after he passed. Read the book "Texas Flood" to try and put this enigma into perspective......it has helped. What a human being. It hurts that he went away from us like he did, hurts really bad.
@@glennburch1081 So very true. And he passed away just a few months after he got off the booze and stuff. Eric Clapton once said (paraphrased) "... to hear Stevie play guitar made you want to learn how to play guitar. But when you played guitar with him on stage, it made you want to stop playing guitar."
I saw him in Dallas a couple months before the crash. Nobody better in my opinion
The Legacy of Mr. Stevie’s Ray Vaughn lives on forever
That technique during the solo was no crazy effect, just playing two strings at the same time and bending the hell out of them. Just pure finger strength!
Stevie being Stevie. 😁 Sledgehammer power coupled with brain surgeon control. Simply the best conduit for music I’ve ever seen live.
But the bends have to be done correctly to get the in and out of tune sound between those two strings. The way SRV did it was magical precision of controlled chaos.
@@johndeeregreen4592 ture!
Il avait un gros tirage de cordes oui!
As far as I know Chuck Berry was the first to bend two strings together.
I never get tired of watching or listening to Texas Flood. In my opinion, the best guitar solo of all time!
I live in Austin, and jog past the statue of Stevie Ray on the Lady Bird Lake Trail all of the time. He was considered a virtuoso in his own time, and now he is a legend. His death was a tragedy, but his music will live on forever. He was truly one of a kind.
Wow, so cool!
As a Dallas guy, he and brother Jimmie have a special place in our hearts too. Good Oak Cliff boys.
Look up Jimmie Vaughan too!
One of the absolute legends, not only in Blues Rock, but in music. He could do so much, so effortlessly.
So true!
Oh, SRV did not get to where he was ability-wise "effortlessly," but you're correct: Stevie Ray, as a "final product," did perform effortlessly -- except for the sweating part! You've got to know he put in hour after hour after hour of practice and experimentation at various clubs and performances to get his act perfect. He had two experts, professional and highly experienced, bandmates in drummer Chris "Whipper" Layton and bassist Tommy Shannon (who put in years with Johnny Winter). In 1985, keyboardist Reese Wynans joined and the band gained yet another layer of fantastic musicality.
“Life without you live at capital theater” by Stevie Ray Vaughan will blow your hair back, the guitar playing is next level and there is a message in the that applies to today’s social climate.
💖💖💖
This song Texas Flood was written by Larry Davis and Joseph Scott in 1955 and Larry Davis recorded it and released it in 1958. Joseph Scott was having relationship problems at the time this song was written. Stevie Ray found out that Larry Davis was never paid royalties so Stevie Ray paid Larry Davis every penny out of his own pocket, yes Stevie was a very loving and humble man.
Same format as hendrix" red house"
The thing I love most about reactions to this video is the stunned look on people's faces when he plays behind his back
I honestly believe SRV was in and out of "Outter-body-experiences" during many of his performances. He performs seamlessly as one with his guitar....effortlessly, the music NEVER stops flowing thru him!. What a talent.... an enigma, an unexplainable talent level. Talent like this only comes around every 40-50 years: Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Etta James, Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, plus others, you get the idea. Thanks for reacting.
HIs talent level wasn't unexplainable. Here's the explanation: he practiced. A LOT. That's all it is. He loved playing the guitar so he did it for hours and hours, every day, for many years. I don't like it when people just explain away someone's skill at something as being "talented". Being talented isn't enough, there's also the years of grueling effort required to get there.
The guitar was like it was just an extension of his body. He doesn't even look at what he is doing 90% of the time. It's simply incredible. I can't do this if I tried a billion times and I've played all my life
YESSS
This SRV performance is my favourite. His talent is mind boggling. True virtuoso on guitar. Authentic blues voice. The man had magic in his fingers. Voodoo child. Genius prodigy. One of a kind.
Simply the greatest he was on a different planet to any other guitarist
THER WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER STEVIE BABY!!
I can only like this once but your reaction deserves it a million times over. I met Stevie in the 80s at a blues club that I used to work at and from day one, he knew my name and even asked me to jam with him and the guys after the club closed . A few months later, my friends life ended but his legendary legacy lives on
💖💖💖🤩
He was beyond amazing, definitely left this mortal world behind far too soon! He has a brother Jimmy, that was very special as well!
Agreed!!! 😞
@@MaddyReactions Love all that you do Maddy! Plus your Easy on the Eye. Greeting's from Australia!
He was incredible. I was lucky to see him live one time. So glad we have these videos to watch.
Wow! Bet it was awesome
I have seen him live too and appreciate having access to more SRV live different performances .
Hello Maddy, I hope you are having a wonderful weekend! Stevie Ray Vaughan was not only one of my favorite musicians/singers of all time, but he was one of my favorite people of all time. He's been a great influence on many musicians, especially guitarists.
❤️❤️❤️
Yayyy. You just experienced the amazement and magic that is SRV, the GOAT of blues guitar and the Fender Stratocaster. He learned watching his older brother Jimmy Vaughn and then got possessed with playing the guitar and perfecting his ability that he was shredding in local shows with the best when he was still in high school.
🤍
You just witnessed the greatest guitarist to ever lived
The best Texas ever had to offer RIP the master gunslinger
FINALLY 😁 sorry for requesting this videos so many times and thank you so much for finally doing a reaction can't wait to see how it goes however I am convinced that you will thoroughly enjoy it as does everyone who has ever done a review of this video, I myself have probably seen it 500 times and will see you in another 500 it's that good. 🎸🎸🎶🎤🙏R.I.P. S.R.V.🙏
❤️❤️❤️
You did the right thing. This is still, and will probably always be, the most inspiring guitar performance I have ever seen.
I think God was about to sprinkle Stevie Ray with his portion of talent dust, tripped and spilled the whole damn bowl over his head. The GOAT.
Hehe facts!
The greatest blues guitarist that ever was, bar none.
I have watched this concert dozens of times and I still cannot figure out how he can get that guitar so quickly and seamlessly from front to back like that without getting tangled up in the strap.
It's fun watching you discover this artist. My favorite guitar I've seen this video a thousand times. His music makes me smile but when I think of his story it's so sad. We definitely lost a great man way too early. RIP Stevie 😇😇😇
❤️
One of my greatest musical regrets is not seeing him live. Here, he was in the depths of his addictions, but his talent was so great it carried him until he turned his life around. Double Trouble was also an amazing supporting band, especially after they added Reese Wyans on keyboard. The whole band are amazingly good players, and Stevie was in a class of his own. I think, though I'm not sure, that the various members of Double Trouble are still active.
I bet 💖
Stevie Ray Vaughan was 7 years old when he first picked up a Guitar 🎸 thanks to his older brother Jimmy who was the biggest influence on his life and playing the guitar 🎸. Jimmy would be leaving for work and would tell Stevie don't mess with my Guitar when he was at work. Stevie agreed but Jimmy would hear Stevie Ray Vaughan playing with his Guitar even before he was pulling out of his driveway lol. Stevie Ray Vaughan could play in a pitch Black Room and still Shredding the Guitar 🎸. Thank You Jimmy Vaughn for encouraging Young Stevie!!!!
He played in my home town, before he became famous. The club has some so so bands. I went to another one. My friend saw him, about 20 people in the audience. I still regret it.
What you are hearing is a MASTER MUSICIAN of the HIGHEST ORDER who is channeling Blues to a depth of soul that is beyond comprehension! Enjoy! 😎🎸
Rest in peace, Stevie Ray Vaughan
This performance was straight from consciousness itself
He was beyond gifted. The guitar was literally an extension of his mind.
So true
I had the privilege of seeing him play live-it was truly mesmerizing. He was truly a Virtuoso. People say that he was a once-in-a-generation Talent. I disagree. He was a Once-in-a-Millenium talent…on the level of Mozart and Beethoven.
Greatest R&B/blues guitarist ever. Ever. And he could rock too. He lived every not he played. It breaks my heart to think of how much more he could've created but was cut short.
Best human, best guitar player, best blues man and best performance ever
What an absolute talent 🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥
Yesss
Thank god there's this video of SRV and this song! My memories of Stevie Ray Vaughan Live in concert could always us a refresher! Legend doesn't begin to describe his Awesomeness! Thanks for listening to SRV on your channel! Im here for it! Luv ya Maddie ❤💛
Congratulations, you just witnessed ridiculous perfection. Makes you wanna cry, huh?
Makes ya wanna throw your guitar in the trash and just forget about it!
I so love watching people's minds getting blown to Oblivion the first time that they see this video. Everytime I see this well up with admiration, sorrow for him being gone now, and pride for a fellow Texan who was so dedicated to his craft that it was his whole meaning for life. RIP SRV!! WE ARE MISSING YOU BROTHER!!
Stevie started playing at age of 7 . He practiced and played so much, that at times he was known to supper glue his finger tips back on and continue to play. His soul was with out effort. He was THE BEST!
You young lady have been Stevie Ray struck. Love seeing the amazement in your face. Rock on
I have great memories of SRV. I knew him and I also knew Boz Skaggs. Both had a standing invitation to my home anytime they were in town in Dallas. One night I had both over and we started just jamming a bit. Stevie had my Takamine as it had the heaviest strings I owned on it and Boz had my Ovation. I played on of my basses and we just jammed the night away by the pool. Several friends listened or snoozed until the sun came up and we all went to breakfast. One of my better memories jamming with two of the greats at the same time.
🌸
Beautiful memory. He was such a special human being.❤Donna G
Every time I see this, when he's playing behind his back, then just steps to the mic and sings so smooth like nothing crazy is happening, I think how cold-blooded that move is. SuperBad, this dude was an uninterrupted channel with a direct connection to the power source. RIP brother Stevie
What you referred to as “the fairy dust of talent”, the few of us that are blessed with a cup full, or even a small portion of a cup, are truly blessed, SRV got a HEAPING DUMP TRUCK LOAD of it! ❤❤❤
This performance is one of my favorite reaction videos of all time, because until you see it, NOBODY could possibly expect it. Stevie Ray Vaughn was **offensively** good on the guitar. When he was growing up, he caught hands more than a few times sneaking to play his older brother's guitar b/c he didn't have one of his own. If there was ever a guitar god, this guy was it (Jimi was S-tier, but Stevie studied and expanded on his techniques).
🩷
It’s always such a thrill to see someone watch this performance for the very first time. That “WTF!” look on their face. Priceless. SRV was a force of nature. God bless his soul.
The ferry dust of talent lol..well said. You absolutely crack me up
Thanks for being here!!!and hope your week has been blessed 🩷
You're very welcome, yours as well@@MaddyReactions
Stevie is the GOAT, any genre, and this is the greatest use of a guitar I have ever heard in my 58 years. His voice has been described as honeyed gravel or honey over gravel.
The thing about Stevie is that for most of his career he played with heavy gauge strings that tore up his finger tips and he had to super glue them back on. Eric Clapton once said that he was an open channel and the music just flowed through him. I was lucky enough to see him 6 times and the last time I saw him in Southern California was 2 months before he died and that just broke my heart
I loved/love Stevie and not just the musician he probably still is but I've always felt his character was always respectful and compassionate so the fact that mentioned his kindness made me like this video even more. Thank you. Keep enjoying life Mad
This is one of his greatest performances in my opinion! My wife was going to get us tickets to the Woodlands to see him, but at the time I was getting a lot of overtime, so we didn't go. It was not long after this, his helicopter went down and of course he passed away. One of my biggest regrets in my life! Of course, I heard that he put on a great show too! The morale to this story? Work is always there and you never see the difference in the end, but this would have been a great memory for my bride and I! Regrets, Regrets!
Keep up the good work Maddy, you are doing a great job!
Beautiful reaction. Pure. Love it!
Peak level musician
❤️
I follow lots of reaction videos and this is the one song that absolutely guarantees that I'll click on it when it pops up in my notifications.
I just wait for that behind the back playing and watch the faces of the younger reviewers that are just discovering SRV.
For a change of pace from the hard driving power of this song and to see his range, check out "Riviera Paradise", which is so delicate and precise. Stevie could do it all.
Wow
I've probably watched this performance a couple hundred times, and I never get tired of seeing people freak out when he goes behind the back
You have just witnessed theGOAT!
This is one of the best live performances ever recorded! We are so blessed that there is lots of SRV and Double Trouble that was videoed so the younger generations can see for themselves what a true talent they were.
Great reaction Maddy! He was one of the best...RIP.
So true
Stevie Ray Vaughan was a one of a kind genius he was amazing and loved what he did, he was loved by all the great Blues artists, in fact Stevie said Albert King was his godfather. Stevie started playing guitar when he was 7, his older brother Jimmie Vaughan who was 3 yrs older then Stevie got an electric guitar that Stevie loved. Jimmie is a great guitarist In his own right and had a band called The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Stevie would play Jimmie's guitar. whenever Jimmie left the house. Stevie was given a toy guitar for his 7th birthday even though it was a toy Stevie learned to play Wine Wine Wine and Thunderbird by The Night Caps did I mention it was a toy 😲. Stevie Ray joined a band called The Chantones at the age of 10, he had his first gig at a roller rink so Jimmie gave Stevie Ray his electric guitar to help Stevie do something he really loved. Stevie left the band when the singer wanted them to start wearing makeup on stage. Stevie started a band called The Triple Threat Reuve in 1977, the singers name was Lou Ann Barton but left the band on November 24,1979 and Stevie took over on vocals, Tommy Shannon basses knew Stevie back when Stevie joined a band called Krackerjack when they were in their teens Tommy joined Double Trouble on June 23,1981, drummer Chris Layton joined The Triple Threat Reuve on September 10,1978 and in 1980 he changed the name to Double Trouble, Reese Wynans joined on June 7,1985 on keys. Stevie Ray's career only span years 7 years but in that 7 yrs Stevie accomplished so much starting with his album Texas Flood that released on June 13,1983 on December 13 1983 Stevie Ray's Austin City Limits video was voted Guitar Player Magazine's Best New Talent, Best Electric Blues Guitar Player and Best Guitar Album with Texas Flood he and Jeff Beck are the only Triple Award Guitarist ever. On November 18,1984 Stevie won a W.C.Handy National Blues Award, Entertainer Of The Year and Instermental Of The Year Stevie was the first white man to win either. In 1982 Stevie Ray 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. Stevie won 6 Grammys, 10 Austin Music Awards and 5 W.C.Handy National Blues Awards. Sadly Stevie Ray never got a chance to enjoy a #1 hit until 2 months after his death with Crossfire. On August 26, 1990 Stevie flew to East Troy Wisconsin to open 2 shows for Eric Clapton at The Alpine Valley Music Theater along with Robert Clay, Buddy Guy and his brother Jimmie Vaughan, Jimmie said Stevie came down from his hotel room and told them he had a weird dream that he died and he was looking down at all these people crying, he said although it was weird he felt at peace. Both shows were sold out to 40,000 fans. On August 27,1990 after Eric Clapton finish his show Stevie, Buddy, Robert and Jimmie went on stage and the very last song Stevie Ray would ever play was Sweet Home Chicago by Robert Johnson. After they were done Stevie Ray boarded a helicopter that crashed into the side of a mountain right after takeoff and everyone on board were killed instantly, the pilot had just failed his test on using the gages for that helicopter, he never flew at night and he never flew that helicopter. I'll never forget that day it was so sad and I couldn't stop thinking about it for months. imo Stevie Ray Vaughan will always be the GOAT.
Not only does he play his Git-tar amazingly, but he does it most of the time with his eyes closed or looking the other way.
🩷🩷🩷
He always left everything on the stage.
It's so compelling to see your reaction to SRV's live performance. Imagine actually being there. I was, twice.
He was my Brother. We all started at 6 and 7 year's old. Stevie Cheyenne and ME are known as Trick Guitar player's. ❤Thank's for the kinds word's ya'll said bout my brother ❤We do ever song he ever played. We go all over the country and the world. ❤ We do play alot in Texas though. ❤ Especially in Austin. ❤ Antone's is still here. And so is Sam's Bar BQ. Huston at Fitzgerald's and at home in Dallas in Oak Cliff. We still have fun but not as much as we used to with Stevie and Double Trouble. It was more fun with then good Ole boy's 👍 ❤ We miss the hell outta him. ❤ We listen to em every single day. ❤ I will listen 🎶 to em till the day I die. 🎶 ❤
Whoever listens to the GOAT of the guitar, its an automatic subscription. Great reaction and I'll be tuning in for more. You're a beautiful young lady btw.
❤️❤️❤️
Kentucky and Stevie Ray Vaughan is the goat and always will be
Thats Stevie!! The candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long. Imagine the music we missed out on.
Have enjoyed your reactions to SRV vids. He was that amazing. Had the pleasure of seeing Stevie 6 different times. 3 in one weekend!! Perfectly completed by an an intimate outdoor appearance on a sunny August afternoon by the sea, in Salem MA. His encore was ridiculous. Sitting on the edge of the stage playing Hendrix. What a loss, but feel fortunate to have witnessed his greatness, accompanied by a fine band!
🔥🔥🖤🎼🎸🎼🖤🔥🔥 .. He was the absolute best blues guitarist of all the time. I was fortunate enough to see him and his band at The New York State Fair , in 1985. I am still recovering. I am very glad that you like him Maddy. 🤍🤍🎸🤍🤍
Definitely
Ah, SRV... Virtuoso blues/rock icon. Check out the rest of the Live at the El Mocambo concert which is considered one of the best live performances ever recorded. Period. Stevie was channeling and at the height of his creative powers. RIP Stevie, you are so missed brother.
Oooh 🌸🤍
Stevie has quite the story and is truly an amazing man. There is a video of him and his brother Jimmie playing together on the same instrument. Last Sunday (August 27th) was the anniversary of his death, so thank you for doing this video on this particular day. (Awesome reaction!)
So true
I never had the chance to see Stevie Ray play live 😞 but he’s to be found here at youtube and obviously in my record collection.
He was without a doubt in the top one of the worlds greatest blues players 😅 and it’s amazing to see how effortles the music is floating from his hands.
If you haven’t, You should check his epic performance playing “Look at little sister” where he breaks a string and have to switch guitars mid music. 😊
I used to watch Stevie before he was famous. I had the Allman Brothers' Band, Live at the Fillmore East in Vietnam. I used to listen to it every time I got back to the base camp. Listen to Whipping Post or Statesboro Blues. Many consider this the best live album of all times. I promise, you will love this.
A legend.
Most definitely
He came from Orion's belt. Wizard guitar master.
Thousands of hours to develop the skills this man has
Stevie Ray passed on way to soon, thank the lord for videos, he’s the Goat with out a doubt
Even a deaf man feels his music. Unbelievable one off talent.
Great reaction. Your words are spot on!
Thank you, and great weekend to all!
Definitely 🌸
The first time I saw him live he was playing that same guitar, Number One, and I was convinced he was going to break it. It was part of his body.
I first listened to santana, he was my favorite. Then I got into bb king, buddy guy, Jimmy Hendrix, Albert king...then I got introduced to SRV..it was a wrap .SRV is without a doubt the GOAT.
Nice one, Maddy! I was a grad student in Austin in the mid-80's. I lived just a couple of blocks from Antone's on Guadalupe where Stevie & his brother Jimmie used to both play a lot. Most nights I was too broke to afford the cover charge to go inside, but back then you could sit on the street curb outside, drink a beer, and still hear what was going on. Maddy, if you're loving the Texas blues, you should also check out Lou Ann Barton. She was an Antone's regular too back in the day. Good memories. 🙂
So cool!
Your reaction was great... Astounding I know.... Too see this performance is too be blown away indeed ❤️🙏
Hey Maddy, can you feel the "violence" of the Thunderstorm in his guitar. Stevie revived the Blues...He not only paid tribute to those who came before but inspired a whole new generation of Blues Players: John Mayer, Gary Clark Jr., Kenny Wayne ...Just to mention a few. I grew up listening to SRV & now those who are 20-30 years old are discovering him...Great music transcends time & Stevie/Double Trouble put out some of the best music in a very short period! His Gift to us cannot be understated!
Oooh definitely
“When I play, I play sort of like talking, you know, syllables, you say a sentence here, a sentence there and then, I’ve to stop and think for something else to keep my conversation going. But his didn’t seem to be that at all. It was fluent, he flowed when he played. He could get something going and it was like a song and it would just go on and on. Ideas continuously flowed, I don’t have that. There is not a lot of people that I hear that have that but Stevie had it.” - BB King
I honestly believe this is the greatest guitar solo ever recorded.
Thank you for doing this one 🤘🎼🎵🎶🎸
I was blessed to see him just weeks before he passed. Incredible talent gone way to early.
Agreed RIP
A real musician. ❤ Thank you!
Stevey ray his off the charts ❤ yes Steve and his brother both great guitar 🎸 players
Bright Angel, just seeing the smile on your face was as magical as SRV''s performance.
🩷🩷🩷
Maddy your reaction was perfect for the first time seeing Stevie Ray play behind his back. He was a fantastic Talent lost tragically . One of the best Blues guitarist . Thannk you
I bought this concert on a VHS tape many years before youtube was a twinkle in its father's eye. I'd never heard of Stevie Ray Vaughan before but had read a review about this video concert, saw a copy in Tower Records, bought it, watched it and had my socks blown off. Stevie was ridiculous! Maddy's reactions were precious.
Stevie is making #1 beg for mercy
🙌👏🎉👨🍳🎸🎶💙💯. Couldn't click fast enough! I loved your first reaction so much I knew you would be back for more. I'm subbing for more and I thought I had when I watched the first time. You've only just begun scratching the surface of his body of work and you will never tire of watching him play. Totally captivating. Self taught at age 7. He and his older brother Jimmie listened to records of all the OG's of blues and guitar and he joined bands at age 14 and started getting paid by 16. He never bothered to learn to read music it seemed more like remembering what he already knew. He plays totally in the moment so the same song is different each time he plays. His good friends and band mates watch him like a hawk and go where he takes them. More please👋✌️💙🎸🎶
💖💖💖🌸🌸🌸
SRV ~ 🎸🐐 The goatiest goat in all of goatness
You just witnessed one of the greatest guitar performances ever caught on film. Regardless of genre.
**Voodoo Child at Austin City Limits 1989**
Hehe true!
😮Maddy, you're frickin gorgeous and your reaction to my favorite artist was pure awesomeness!! Luv yah!❤
2:54 It's funny that you say sprinkle fairy dust into his cup. That's exactly how he would drink his crown royal, with "fairy dust" sprinkled in. All jokes aside, he lived for music and playing. His gift was given to all of us. A once in a lifetime talent.
😂😂😂
He put in countless hrs. of blood sweat, and tears into mastering his craft, and master it he did without a doubt ❤❤❤😊☺️
Yes he plays the Guitar behind his back, And can sing while doing it. your reaction was great.
Most of the time, you don’t know what you have until it’s gone. Love you Stevie
and Jimmy❤❤
