A few words about Stevie: he's considered by many---myself included---as the greatest guitarist of all time. The band was named "Double Trouble" and had Tommy Shannon on bass and Chris Layton on drums. In '85 they added Reese Wynans on keyboards, and man, could they ever tear up a stage! This performance was in '83 at the El Mocambo club in Toronto, and to many---again myself included---it's considered the greatest guitar work ever captured on film. Not only was his technical prowess, feeling, and showmanship incredible, but he played with extremely heavy strings to achieve the sound he got. His hand and forearm strength, and overall physicality to play like he did was extraordinary. Stevie kicked a horrible addiction to cocaine and alcohol in late '86, and lived the last four years of his life clean, sober and happy before he was killed in a helicopter crash in '90 after his last gig. By the way, he was also a sweet and humble guy, despite the swagger he displayed on stage. To us folks here in Texas, he's extra special and beloved. There will never be another like him, that's for sure!
“I'm just the guitarist for Double Trouble”, he said. Down to earth and just a great musician.
Cheers 🍺
Reese is monster keyboardist.
Absolutely! We in Texas consider him a state treasure that we gladly share with the world. Have fun. Down the rabbit hole you go!
Amen from a born and raised Texan. Be well.
Couldn't have said it better!
Pick any song from the Live at El Mocambo hat set and you won't be disappointed. He was simply on fire for the whole show. It's truly one of the greatest live guitar performances ever recorded. During one song, he breaks a string during a solo and switches guitars continuing to wail without missing a beat. It's unbelievable.
One of my all time favorite live performance. Testify is just out of this world. One of my top 5 guitarist of all time for sure.
Testify for sure from that show. The opener. A scorcher.
wait, what song in the El Mocambo show does he break a string?
@@drdanr Probably referring to the "Look at little sister" string break/guitar switcheroo that was NOT at El Mocambo...don't recall seeing a string break in any El Mocambo footage...for what it's worth.
@@billyboblillybob344 or Texas flood at the inauguration
SRV is in my opinion the greatest guitarist to ever play. He absolutely was best listened to live and always put on an amazing show. If you check him out again I suggest his performance of Little Wing from this same concert.
He was amazing live. Look at Little Sister is great live too.
I agree with you and for me its his ability to ooze so much feeling out of not only his guitar but also out of his soul that separates him from
guys like Jimi and even Gilmour although Gilmour is probably the most ethereal guitarist I have ever heard. Of course when you listen to SRV
you can hear the influences of Jimi which sadly they never got to play together which probably would have caused an earthquake.
There are many great guitarists, playing different styles. Roy Buchanan is my favorite. My personal opinion is that Jimi was the most over rated guitarist ever.
A Jimmy Hendrix cover.
One of the greatest to ever pick up a guitar. Died far to young and is dearly missed.
Dude he is Texas Blues! PERIOD! The GOAT!
"Stevie was an endless, open channel that music just poured out of. He made people who'd never touched a guitar in their life want to pick one up and start playing, and he made those of us who'd played live onstage with him before want to quit."...............Eric Clapton.
Stevie never played anything the same way once much less twice-Jimmie Vaughan
Never gets old. Stevie makes my tears flow like a Texas flood every time. love this man so damn much. Legend.
The faces he's making are called the stank face, most guitarist make them. He's feeling it. It comes from the soul.
You know he's the greatest when he plays better behind his back than most people do in the front.
People say that his gutair was just another bodypart and I totally agree the feel that he put on every note was incredible
When guitars dream, they fantasize of being played by Stevie Ray Vaughn!!! RIP SRV.
Stevie was a guitarGod.
Left us too soon.
Epic.
👍👍👍🇸🇪😎💕
Sorely. Sorely Missed.
Forever - The Pride of Texas.
I was blessed to know this Beautiful Man. There will never be another to match his talent, his humbleness, his positivity. SRV was a great human being…God needed him.
“Life Without You” is a must!!! We are forced to live a life without seeing how more greatness we would have been.
Thanks for a great reaction! I knew Stevie, and I can tell you that he was as humble as he was talented! Please give a listen to “Mary Had a Little Lamb” and “Voodoo Chile” from the the Austin 1989 show. FIRE!!! ❤Donna G
RIP - SRV, you were truly one of a kind.
Welcome to Stevie Ray Vaughan. Tighten your seatbelts!
Stevie was one of the best blues guitarists ever to play. I saw him perform at an Austin 6th Street bar in the early 80's. All of 20 people were in the bar...he was this good already. What a treat! Legend has it that after this particular performance, Stevie's guitar stepped out back for a quick smoke. Be well, Be happy, Duke
I saw him in Amarillo with around 200 people. I only knew about him because Guitar Magazine gave him the Guitarist of the Year. He promised to give us a show to tell everyone who didn't show up what they missed. He kept that promise. Mind blown.
Stevie's guitar playing was the show. People knew they were going to see one of the GOATS
I had the pleasure to see Stevie play in 1989 He is and always will be the best in my opinion. Played with such feeling and soul.
Welcome to the magic of Stevie.......SRV = THE G.O.AT.
The GOAT OF GOATS! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
SRV best Texas Rockin' Blues ever. R.I.P. Stevie.
Stevie Ray Vaughan rescued the entire Blues genre. It was dying out when he came out so he put together concerts with the legendary blues players/singers and made it popular again. Look for his compilations with the great blues stars... Johnny Copeland, BB King, Albert King and also look for his team up with Jeff Healey, another special, legendary guitar player.
Nice to see younger people appreciating Stevie Ray, great reaction.
Stevie is hands down winner of the guitar Olympics!
AND he does it all with his eyes closed !!!
One of the greatest! Another gone way too soon. R.I.P. Stevie Ray.
This performance is the best live guitar performance I've ever seen. I missed out on a chance to see him live in Houston in 1989 and was heartbroken the morning I heard of his passing one year later.
For Stevie, the guitar wasn't an instrument, it was an extension of his soul. There will never be another SRV.
RIP Sir
Welcome to SRV. You have now experienced Arguably the greatest blues guitarist that has ever walked this earth
The GOAT, you can play any song of his and never be disappointed, He is the guitar ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
nobody did the "Stank face" like Stevie Ray Vaughan this is so epic
He NEVER ran out of ideas...each solo just never, ever lagged.
In my opinion, SRV Was the GOAT!!!
Any song you pick is AMAZING !! ❤️❤️
Born in Dallas Texas . Started playing at age 7 . Clapton and Beck considered him to be a great guitarist . Thanks for checking him out .
Incredible guitar playing, plus behind the back, PLUS singing at the SAME TIME. SRV is the GOAT. No question!
SRV ~ 🎸🐐 The goatiest goat in all of goatness
**Voodoo Child at Austin City Limits 1989**
He was the greatest alive and untouched in death plainly said a guitar GOD!!!
The greatest guitar player ever!
I saw Stevie LIVE twice. First was a smokey little club and second was at a big outdoor festival, both times it was like a very personal memory. Not for one minute did anybody think he was just a human, he destroyed and we were there to the end.
I have seen this video performance a few times and I still CANNOT BELIEVE MY EYES. Stevie Ray Vaughan was his name and one of his backup bands was called DOUBLE TROUBLE. I'm not sure if that's his band on this arrangement. He passed away in an helicopter crash back in August of 1990. We lost one of the greatrest guitarists of all time in that crash.
Guitar players dream of playing legendary guitars.
Legendary guitars dream of being played by Stevie.
That's the guy's name; the band is called Double Trouble. This is one of the greatest blues guitar performances of all time. Great reaction, guys!
You just witnessed the GOAT. I highly recommend you react to Voodoo Chile’ Live from Austin City Limits 1989, and Life Without You Live from the Capitol Theater. Both of those are excellent performances. I really look forward to seeing you react more to SRV. Also, Stevie Ray Vaughan was his name, but the bands name was Double Trouble.
He was absolutely high as balls, plus the stage lights back then were like mini suns and therefore he’s drenched. And loving it! 😁
I just love to see people react to SRV for the first time, especially when he goes behind his back. I was fortunate enougfh to have seen him live 3 times, and was able to meet him briefly one time and he was just amazing of a man as he was a guitar player. Very kind and very humble. RIP SRV. Thank you for the music and videos so that current and future generations will be able to see and hear you. The man may be gone, but his music continues on.
This is actually a cover song recorded by Larry Davis in 1958 made famous by Stevie Ray Vaughn. SRV plays so well because his guitar is an appendage of this body, so it comes naturally. SRV one of the greatest guitarist of all time. All reactors that see SRV go to playing behind his back have the same reaction, WTF? lol
Never apologize for long videos. SRV will always be the Greatest….keep going but you must always watch him live. Thank you.
The Band is Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble. BB KIng said "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 continuosly flowed, I don’t have that. There is not a lot of people that I hear that have that but Stevie had it.” In the early morning of Monday, August 27, 1990, Stevie Ray Vaughan was killed in a helicopter crash near East Troy, Wisconsin, at age 35. He was one of the most influential blues guitarists of the 1980s, described by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as "the second coming of the blues".
Great reaction! SRV is my favorite guitar player ever. I just can't get enough of him. Sadly we lost him in a helicopter crash in 1990. He was coming in to the prime of his career. He had gotten sober and was on his way to doing great things. SRV never read music and was completely self taught. His brother Jimmie Vaughan was one of his idols along with Hendrix, Albert King, and just about all of the old time blues artists. They admired him as well. He was a very humble human being. All of his live performances and great and he never played the same song the same way. Could I suggest. anything from the Austin City limits 1989 show, and "Life Without You" live from the Capital Theater. RIP Stevie 💔🎸🎶 Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that he used the thickest guitar strings possible. Very few people could do that.
Welcome to the one and only SRV he was a guitar and blues god. Checkout “tin pan alley” with Johnny Copeland. Stevie has a lot of hits in his short time and they are all fabulous.
That guitar is just extension of SRV may he RIP. He left us way too soon.
The great state of Texas loves Stevie Ray . R.I.P. Stevie
this may be his most popular song on youtube but my favorite stevie song is life without you. a little slower prettier song. he does everything in it. he swaps out guitars without missing a beat, adjusts his amps twice while playing, plays behind his back, strums the gutar while the strings are facing him, stops in the middle to deliver a sermon, and plucks the guitar with his teeth which results in a tooth being pulled out. i just love this song. love you guys, thanks.
Greatest guitar player of all time!!
"I speak in sentences, Stevie Ray speaks in paragraphs." - - BB King
BB was excellent at phrasing
He was...is still...the GOAT. Even Jimi, if he was still alive, would say I can't touch that.
Yeah, saw him only once in my life and this was kind of what he was like. It was mesmerising to see. And a ten-minute song really doesn't feel that long when you're in his spell, does it? He had a very deep connection to his guitar and to “the blues”. One of a kind. Fun fact, he dressed like this in private too, it wasn't a stage costume for him. Outrageous and totally cool. Miss him a lot. One of the truly great guitarists of all time.
Cheers 🍺
Best that ever lived.much love❤❤❤
Check out Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jeff Beck doing "Goin Down" live. Mind blowing !!!
Lucky to have seen him three times in concert, the last with his older brother Jimmie's band The Fabulous Thunderbirds as warm up.
"Life Without You" (Capitol Theater)
SRV wrote it for his great friend that died, Charley Wirz. A line from the lyrics are engraved on his own gravestone. It says:
Thank you...
For "all the love you passed our way"
RIP 🎸 SRV
A really good one to react to is Stevie Ray Vaughan and his blind protege Jeff Healey doing look at little sister.
Hundred percent agree that was epic!
It doesn't just have a blues feel, it is a blues song with blues guitar playing. Check out what some of the blues greats (like BB KIng) had to say about SRV. And yeah, each time he played it was different, but always awesome.
He makes faces because he’s feeling the music as he gives it to you.
Anything from his 1989 Austin City Limits show is top notch SRV. Leave My Girl Alone,and Tightrope are my personal favorites from that show
Best live blues guitar performance ever recorded - you could feel all of lifes pain and all that goes along with deep dark slow heartfelt blues
Great reaction. If you want to go down the rabbit hole I recommend Tin Pan Alley at Montreaux a/o Riviera Paradise at Austin City Limits. Oh and always react to live version. Stevie is always best live.
Stevie is the GOAT and this is the greatest use of a guitar I have heard in my 58 years on the planet.
Other people play music with their guitars, Stevie just let it flow from his soul through the guitar.
My housegod of guitarists. Stevie Ray did not just play the guitar. He WAS the guitar. It was a part of him. Like an arm.
Y'all just witnessed the greatest guitarist ever period RIP Stevie you are surely missed every day ❤
the goat of all times.
Nobody gives stank face better than SRV...........R.I.P. gone too soon ✌️
He was the king of swag. Great react.
Freddie King "have you ever loved a woman" live!!! You won't be disappointed
THE GOAT R.I.P SRV
I was honored to see him live in concert in Montreal Canada...I was hooked on his music at that time In the mid 80"s..I still love and cry sometimes to his music to this day...Life Without You broke my heart, because of the meaning of the song. The G.O.A.T...
Legend and my personal guitar inspiration, never be another like Stevie. RIP.
Stevie Ray Vaughan and the band is Double Trouble. ❤He's my Brother. He used to do that shit when he was 10 in the front yard.
Thanx for reacting it's mind blowing RIP Stevie Rayone one of a kind ✌️
And notice he's constantly flipping the pickup selector chasing the tone he needs mid solo, even when playing behind his back.
Nice job y'all, Stevie Ray Vaughan- Life Without You- 9/21/85 - Capitol Theatre Passaic N.J. is very good also, RIP Stevie
Congratulations. Now you entered the big leagues😊. Some background on Stevie; he is generally considered one of the best guitarists of all time not only by the public, but also by his peers. For example, on the last performance ever before he died he was playing with Eric Clapton and a whole bunch of other legendary guitarists, and at the end of the show, he and Eric did what was called "cutting heads", basically a note 4 Note guitar battle. And at the end of the evening Eric admitted Stevie won. He is the one who is credited with bringing back blues guitar in the era when everything was disco, heavy metal, and pop. People generally go back and forth between him and Jimi Hendrix as to who was the goat. Personally I can't decide because I don't think you would have gotten a Stevie Ray Vaughan without a Jimi Hendrix, Who was one of his biggest inspirations. Here's an interesting fact about how he was discovered and by whom. He was playing the Montreux Jazz Festival in France, where he caught the eye of David Bowie. David told his friend Jackson Browne who was also in attendance, how they had to go see this guy. Jackson Browne was so impressed he offered Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble (yes that's the name of the band) that if they were ever in California they were welcome to use his Studio at no charge. Stevie was supposed to go on tour with David Bowie, but that conflicted with the time that Jackson Browne had available and they needed to record their first album. So even though it is Stevie Ray Vaughan who plays the guitar solo on Bowie's Let's Dance, he ended up not going on tour with David Bowie, and the rest is History. He was signed by the legendary John Hammond who also signed people like Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, Bruce Springsteen, and a whole host of other Legends. Hammond can be heard at the beginning of Stevie's live at Carnegie Hall concert album introducing him. We lost him way too young in a plane crash, just after he had cleaned up his act from battling drugs and alcohol, and getting his life right😢. (As you can tell, I am kind of a fan of Stevie's). There is no shortage of suggestions. His cover of Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child, his collaboration with Stevie Wonder on superstition, or my personal favorite when he and his all time inspiration, Albert King, teamed up to do Stevie's song "pride and joy". Albert was a pioneer of Blues guitar, one of the all-time greats, and you can see on his face the sheer Joy of knowing that he was passing that torch to Stevie. Have fun guys this is a very deep rabbit hole!
I was lucky enough to see Stevie five times before he passed. Stevie had this ability to go off into left field. To the point you're asking yourself where is he going with this? And he always brought it right back to home plate every single time. He was a genius.
Stevie Ray Vaughan is the guitarist and singer, Double Trouble is his accompanying band. Stevie's brother Jimmy Vaughan is a good guitarist as well. Check out something from their album Family Style. A lot of great tracks on there as well.
Another great one by Stevie Ray Vaughan, is life without you
Great reaction. SRV was amazing (rip). His band's name was Double Trouble. I promise any song you react to you will love.
Everyone liked Stevie and most loved him. He was so humble about his talent which he called 'a gift from God.' Said he was working hard to repay it.
I say Paid in Full, Stevie. Paid in Full, sweet man. ❤🔥🎸
I saw SRV in 1985 at the Oklahoma St. campus. He was absolutely incredible. Best Guitarist I have ever heard to this very day. RIP Stevie.
He was known for never playing the song the same way twice. The band had to really watch him in order to follow.
Life without you @ capital theater LIVE & Tin Pan Alley w/ Johnny Copeland LIVE
should be next 2 songs they will blow you away more than this one.
Congratulations! You have now been introduced to the Texas Blues, and have witnessed the greatest guitarist of all times perform.
The greatest blues guitarist ever period that’s the goat right there
Life without you, live Is a great song by the GOAT Written by Stevie Ray Vaughn.
I just love watching the faces of reactors when SRV plays behind his back.
Saw him twice at Red Rocks in "Denver." Count myself and my friends soooo lucky. For my money...the best of all time. Never get sick of watching people learn about his prowess. Can't wait for heaven to see him play again...Standing Room Only for his shows there, too.
Stevie didn't "Play" the guitar, he possessed it!
SRV was known as a "bar-walker".When playing in smaller venues,he would walk around on the bar,JAMMING & never spilling a drink!
One of the best Blues guitarist ever. Stevie would learn everyone’s style and play it perfectly. When he played his brothers riff in front of him (Jimmie Vaughan) his brother told him never play my riff again. There’s a video where he breaks a string and keeps playing and changes guitars while still playing never missing a beat!
