Stevie admired this guitar in the store but had to leave it for want of the $350 price tag. Lenny got some friends to go in on it and she gave it to him for his Birthday. That night, sitting on the end of the bed, he composed this song.
These El Mocambo performances of SRV should be in a time capsule so future generations will be able to see what genius looked and sounded like. Enjoy your comments. 🔥
Check out him playing the 88 presidential Inauguration its unbelievable he snaps strings on multiple songs he really puts on a really incredible show for the Inauguration party
I was at Stevie Ray Vaughn's last concert the night his helicopter crashed after the show at Alpine Valley, Wisconsin August 26th 1990. The next morning when I heard the horrible news was one of the saddest days of my life. The lineup was SRV, Eric Clapton, Robert Cray and Buddy Guy. RIP SRV!🎸
Dude bought a bootleg cassette a year or so in West End in Dallas, TX ..., You you find out there, this recording was afan who was in audience that snuck in a walkman cassette recorder, with a chotd, and cheap mini mic ran up his sleeve, and held his arm in air entire show....that bootleg, poor Audio quality and all, was one of the greatest love sets..ever.SRV was on fire..sober loving life, grateful to be alive, double trouble had never been tighter...I sat in car, car stereo treble and bass adjusted to best quality I could do to capture being there. And have seeing SRV live four times, that Alpine Performance was magic..and four short hours later, SRV..was gone...cried then, bawled when I heard Alpine Performance . But absolutely smile , when I see a younger generation, supposedly divided..unify under the gift of artists and music.✌️
I was lucky myself to see him on tour in Sacramento CA in 1989. I was so devastated when he passed...such a loss. And Jeff Beck was on tour with him. They played together. What a loss Jeff Beck is too!
Stevie lived within 3 miles of me. I met him once. His niece was my first girlfriend. I WISH I could've spent some time with him. I had no idea at the time he would be so iconic. I can't get enough of his playing.
@@Poopbutt2134 there's nothing in that worth lying about. I just happened to grow up in Oak Cliff. We were kids. I didn't even know his music when I talked to him, other than Pride and Joy.
You mention his sweating....this was the height of his addiction. He's pale and profusely sweating. Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon talk about this in several documentaries. I played this on vhs until it was too worn out. Saw him live twice and it was magical. But this will always be my favorite, of any guitar player. It's his performance masterpiece in my opinion.
I read somewhere long ago that he was higher than a kite with 2 rolls of string on coke that night and yet, it's still one of the best live shows ever recorder and filmed.
So true this was at the peak of his addiction. Read in a book once that he was doing about and 8ball of blow by this point. He would often dissolve it in whiskey and drink this supercharged energy drink!
The music speaks for itself. The talent speaks for itself. Perhaps Stevie Ray's greatest strength was his willingness and ability to lay bare his soul for all to see.
The most amazing thing, to me at least, was you can find this or any song he plays with multiple recordings, live or studio and listen to them back to back. They are almost always different. Even his brother Jimmy said "Stevie never played anything the same twice". Back to that fact of the music just flowed through him.. Eric Clapton called it "an open channel"... He never even gave a single thought to what came next, he just made it work. I love that you guys have become some attached and appreciative of Stevie's talent and soul.
One thing I want to know is how did he write such beautiful songs if he could not read music? His total genius blows me away and I miss him terribly after 33 years. Why are all the great ones taken away so young? Love your reactions and appreciation of his brilliance. RIP SRV🎸
Many of the songs were Covers of some one else' original songs. Stevie made each one his Own because it Was Then his own, pouring himself into them, he and his guitar doing it together.
I was fortunate enough to see Stevie live twice. That man was a living breathing example of being gifted by God. Thanks for this fellas. God bless yall.
One of the things about SRV’s playing a lot of people miss if they don’t play themselves is the way he changes his tones in the middle of playing. He switches between different pickup combinations and adjusts the tone and volume knobs so that different phrases and solo sections have a completely different tone or feel. You hear it so clearly when you’re listening for it, but you rarely catch it happening. Stevie has his legendary status for a number of reason’s.
SRV is other worldliness DEFINED. But how bout that band? How do you keep up with that level of genius? Idk. But his drummer and bassist know. And I'm kinda jealous. Nice react and thanks for the insight!
Just now found a live performance with BB King, Stevie, Eric Clapton, Phil Collins, Chaka Khan, Gladys Knight, Etta James, Billy Ocean, Albert Collins and more all on the same stage.... Why I Sing The Blues. Unbelievable performance!
Opera house Sydney 80s , we had 4th row , came out after show , my face felt sunburnt he was that hot on stage , dynami , never seen anyone with so much passion
SRV brings in a new generation. Rumor has it when Clapton first saw Stevie in a club in London he was so astounded that he got up and walked out. Check out the utube of stevie doing a sound check unscripted.
You guys keyed right in on it: his bangers - full of bravado, flourish, technical virtuosity, and all kinds of charismatic swagger - give you a full-on intro to his almost unequaled abilities. When we get to songs like this, however, we see a genius level use of silence and ultra-down-tempo groove that is unparalleled. Just incredible.
The scene is so intimate, so beautiful. Stevie pours out his love for his wife as he tenderly cradles the guitar he called Lenny after her. Chris and Tommy back him with exquisite restraint. Stevie doesn't merely play the song, he fills every note with a depth of genuine emotion. Lenny said she cried every time Stevie played it. She's not the only one...
Was lucky enough to see Stevie Ray Vaughan on August 24 1990 at the Kalamazoo County Fair, in Kalamazoo Michigan I was 14 at the time a Night I will never forget...... My one and only time seeing Stevie
Hey I'm new to your channel 11 that you guys are musicians to Stevie Ray Vaughan is a God here in Texas yes he is from Dallas Texas he was tragically killed in a helicopter crash in 1990 we only have a handful of music from him but we all cherish it we listen to it over and over and over he has the soul the Rock and the Texas twang to all of his music he is very missed
I was at the show, and it was might fine. Album release party. That was trumped years later in Toronto when Albert Collins was playing at Alberts Hall (upstairs was Blues Bar), and SRV showed up with unknown (at that time) blind guitarist Jeff Healey. The three jamming together 10 feet from where I was sitting was beyond memorable and a moment in time of utter joy.
I love what you guy's are doing on your channel. In my opinion this performance at El Mocambo was some of Stevie's best work, please check out Little Wing from this same performance. It's the best of the best. Thanks
His music lessons were playing Jimi Hendrix records and playing along. He also would get all the old blues records he would find and listen to them. He loved anything blues. He started out in the 1970s and did not think he could sing. He was in bands with lead singers that were nothing special. He got the confidence to just go for it and became a star.
Another banger! My all time fav from SRV…first heard this as a Junior in HS - went and bought the tape that afternoon with my lunch money for the week! ❤️
You two guys are by far the best at what you do you know your stuff and very respectful Steve watch and learned from the best blues men you guys would have fit well with the man . Thank you for bringing him to all
I appreciate the way you two are respectful to listening to the music and taking it seriously - not making yourselves the focus, Lenny is a masterpiece and it was a pleasure to listen to you brothers discuss it. thoughtfully and from the heart. Thank you!
It's interesting that SRV used such heavy strings, 12 and above gauge I think. Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top used to think the same way as Stevie, employing the heaviest strings on the market. But then Billy had a talk with B.B. King backstage one time and B.B. told him he didn't need to work so hard, advised him to lighten up. So Billy regularly uses 7's! Way on the light end of the spectrum. Gibbons listened to B.B. because ZZ Top is named after Z.Z. Hill and B.B. King (Top). LOL.
That brown 1965 Strat Stevie plays on that video is named "Lenny" after his wife Lenora "Lenny" Vaughan, she gave it to him for his 26th birthday back in 1980, Stevie wrote" Lenny" that night while Lenora slept, it was on his first LP "Texas Flood" and he played it regularly live, he used the 65 on "in step" on "Rivera paradise"
Absolutely awesome that you guys are looking into riviera paradise and lenny...two songs which wefe amazing yet not amaericas top billboard songs sp they didnt have the same impact. They really show how much control of rip and attack and dynamic control he had over his instrument. Both songs really show his raw playjng without alot of sound modification and distortion....just his true control of the guitar and what it can sound like.....heaven
There's 2 other songs of SRV's u should react to, both from his concert in Austin, Texas: Voodoo Child and Look At Little Sister. You WILL NOT be disappointed.
I really like this studio version of Little Sister...on his Soul to Soul CD because there is so much more to it than the Austin version, and I don't mean only the length of it.
Stevie could never break through the mainstream market with a hit. Instead he had his dedicated fans before the internet - and they would pack small clubs like this - in Toronto, Canada - a dive in many respects, but famous for having some great legends - him, supposedly the Rolling Stones, and others.
And then you see his blues genius and why all the legends wanted to be him. Respected him so much, took the stage with him even the fussy ones wanted to play with him. Spoke to their soul as well as mine
So the guitar he's playing here was a gift from his then wife Lenny to him. She didn't have enough to purchase it, so she crowd sourced the funds from his friends locally and picked it up in a pawn ship in Austin. He uses this guitar for this song quite consistently throughout his career. Interesting model as he usually played "Rosewood" necks, but this one has a neck. Very sweet sounding instrument. He was a channel of the music much like hendrix was. It just flowed thru him from wherever it comes from. Saw him live in 85 2nd row seats, changed my life.. Miss him lots n lots..
"little wing" fits right into more of srv...its another hendrix cover that stevie makes amazing...theres a srv performance live from carnigie hall with some great stuff on there
Love you guys reactions I saw him in Ft worth and in Dallas with his brother Jimmie and with Jeff Beck two great guitarist now gone RIP to both of them
Absolutely one of favorites. You just can't get any better than Stevie. Couldn't Stand the Weather another one of his masterpieces,. Life Without You, and you must react to Scuttle Buttin'. Enjoy his greatness🎸🎸🎸🎸
I watched Stevie plays this, sitting on the edge of the stage at Hammond Auditorium in Springfield Mo, 10' in front of me!!! One of the most beautiful love songs ever written...💙💙💙
I still tear up when I listen to SRV sometimes,especially on certain songs. I lived in Dallas in the early eighties,but never did get to see him live. Of course he wasn’t well known yet so i racked my brains trying to figure out if he ever played at Mother Blues or any other blues club. I did,however got to see his brother,Jimmy Vaughn,when the Fabulous Thunderbirds opened for the Stones in ‘81. I can say this, the Fabulous Thunderbirds blew the Stones away as far as being live goes. ZZ Top played also,Fabulous Thunderbirds blew them away as well. Love your reactions guys,and your taste in music.
Thanks for this one guys. Try “Life By The Drop” and “Riviera Paradise,” from his final recording, the album called “In Step.” The album versions of both are amazing in terms of atmosphere. His live performances of them are great as well, but the “show” atmosphere is a little different. 🤘😎
You guys have to watch the full concert video, if you haven’t already. You may have with all your reviews, but seeing it beginning to end is just amazing / jaw dropping. Forget who turned me on to the DVD (back in the day:-) but I’ve never seen a better live performance before or after from a guitar player !! Highly recommend taking a night to watch full El Mocambo one night !!
I'm new here but I love it here. Love what yall doing. Yall should check out SRV life without you live at the capital theater. Just awesome!!! Thanks and keep up the good work yall
Remember, this is 1983, still using heavily, sweating it out, this is where you heard Texas Flood from, the El Mocambo. (I'm thinking you've already seen their Texas Flood, seems like your reaction was your first SRV experience.)
Stevie named this song and his guitar ( the SRV guitar) Lenny after his wife Lenora . She gave the guitar to him as a gift when they first got together. I heard that she once walked in on him sitting in the middle of the living room floor with tears running down his face . It was the night he was writing this song.
I read somewhere long ago that he was higher than a kite with 2 rolls of string on coke that night and yet, it's still one of the best live shows ever recorded and filmed.
Stevie is a god!!!! He is a legend. He brought blues to the forefront. Paved the way for so many. Have you looked at Gary Moore Joe bonamassa some of the others? Bonamassa is the greatest selling blues musician ever. In my opinion Gary Moore is the king of sustain
I like that you're wearing a hat that kinda goes with the El Mocambo, T O Tarona, As Robbie Allmar called it, Boo Jays. Lenny, just a great song. I can't say that it's my favourite, because I can't pick a favourite, everything he played blows me away!
Checked your channel out first time last night, since I've watched all SRV reactions. Appreciate the respect your showing him. Lived in Austin was around many great musicians thru my work and musician and live music lover. First met Omar Kent Dykes Guitarist who introduced to Jimmy Vaughn Stevie's older brother and guitarist of his band Fabulous Thunderbirds.was closer to these guys didn't road tour as much then as SRV. Look fellows could go on for hrs. Check back to this video and will give you some rare music from Srv and others artist here's a sample Buddy Guy & SRV. Champaign and Reefer. Filmed at club on Buddy's Bday. They were great friends seen Buddy on break during show lAst.summer. on YT. More wiil come.
SRV had a rough time, alcohol and drugs, but he got clean before...I know he is gone, I remember that day, just like I remember Skynrds ...but I hear them every day, sometimes watch, is like they still here, will be here as long as folks like good music
Like I said, before rap killed this music these bands demand much more from a record company than rap musicians all you’ve been listening to probably in your life is rap the rap people sample this music they’ve heard it before. I’m glad you’re giving it a shot going down that rabbit hole there is so much more tip of the iceberg.
Stevie admired this guitar in the store but had to leave it for want of the $350 price tag. Lenny got some friends to go in on it and she gave it to him for his Birthday. That night, sitting on the end of the bed, he composed this song.

You don’t have to lie to make friends lol, if that is true u sure missed the chance of a lifetime
@@Poopbutt2134 there's nothing in that worth lying about. I just happened to grow up in Oak Cliff. We were kids. I didn't even know his music when I talked to him, other than Pride and Joy.
u are fosho a blessed man bro.. u met the best of the bests.
If that were the case,
I’d have made a rule: No music talk for the first hour, unless SRV brought it up first.
Mountain View off of Illinois...
That was a bad man right there!!! Exactly why every great blues artist of the day wanted to collaborate with him. Genius.
Some journalist says to Stevie There are no words in your song "Lenny." Stevie replies - There are words all over it! Truth.
You mention his sweating....this was the height of his addiction. He's pale and profusely sweating. Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon talk about this in several documentaries. I played this on vhs until it was too worn out. Saw him live twice and it was magical. But this will always be my favorite, of any guitar player. It's his performance masterpiece in my opinion.

Absolutely!!!
For a fun time…Stevie and Jimmy his brother playing Pipeline. It’s a trip.
He is a conduit of his own soul. No filter...soul to instrument and out the amp.
I Seen SRV I believe it was in 79 or 80 in Austin Texas RIP SRV

Yes and the live version is always better to me.
Jimmie also said that Stevie never played the same solo once!

I had the pleasure of seeing him live right before he went Global. Big bar down in TX. He blew the roof of the place. Still listen to SRV alot.
Officially has been my favorite ending to any song in the world since I was like 12 and im 30 now
Yay!
Music like this is the reason half of us picked up the guitar in the first place
Just now found a live performance with BB King, Stevie, Eric Clapton, Phil Collins, Chaka Khan, Gladys Knight, Etta James, Billy Ocean, Albert Collins and more all on the same stage.... Why I Sing The Blues. Unbelievable performance!

Check out when he plays on MTVs Unplugged. He plays a 12 string …Amazing …
I listen to 3 people. As far as music commentary and reactions. But hands down, you two are the best.
Actually, he was 5 ' 6". I had so many chances to catch him live back in the 80's and kept putting off going; then it was too late.
And Tommy Shannon - 6'5".
I have that song for my ringtone!💞✌️
Me too!

Another banger! My all time fav from SRV…first heard this as a Junior in HS - went and bought the tape that afternoon with my lunch money for the week! ❤️
for a dude that could tear it up, he also knew how and when to be gentle, take it easy....can make ya cry....Great react, as usual! Keep On!

Delighted you’re both enjoying Stevies work.
That brown 1965 Strat Stevie plays on that video is named "Lenny" after his wife Lenora "Lenny" Vaughan, she gave it to him for his 26th birthday back in 1980, Stevie wrote" Lenny" that night while Lenora slept, it was on his first LP "Texas Flood" and he played it regularly live, he used the 65 on "in step" on "Rivera paradise"
Absolutely awesome that you guys are looking into riviera paradise and lenny...two songs which wefe amazing yet not amaericas top billboard songs sp they didnt have the same impact.

This is my absolute favorite srv tune 🎵💯💯

Love you guys reactions I saw him in Ft worth and in Dallas with his brother Jimmie and with Jeff Beck two great guitarist now gone RIP to both of them
A beautiful song that Stevie wrote as a tribute to his wife Lenny.....
Love coming out of that beautiful song for his wife. I love this man so much.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE react to "Third Stone from the Sun" from Live at the El Macombo, your jaws will drop❗️
I watched Stevie plays this, sitting on the edge of the stage at Hammond Auditorium in Springfield Mo, 10' in front of me!!! One of the most beautiful love songs ever written...💙💙💙
Whoever came up with that Jordan & Kobe analogy deserves 1,000 likes.
SRV ~ 🎸🐐 THE goat of all goats
That's not sweat. He's oozing soul. 😅
**Tightrope at Austin City Limits**
Stevie Ray worked hard to be as good as he was, but talent like that is God given.
I just read her Kevin was at the last show he ever did me and you are blessed you saw a miracle before God took it back to heaven
That was a great analogy Kobe was to Jordan as Stevie was to Jimi
I still tear up when I listen to SRV sometimes,especially on certain songs. I lived in Dallas in the early eighties,but never did get to see him live. Of course he wasn’t well known yet so i racked my brains trying to figure out if he ever played at Mother Blues or any other blues club.

Love your reactions guys,and your taste in music.
Thanks for this one guys. Try “Life By The Drop” and “Riviera Paradise,” from his final recording, the album called “In Step.” The album versions of both are amazing in terms of atmosphere. His live performances of them are great as well, but the “show” atmosphere is a little different. 🤘😎
Thank you ! That was beautiful,what an amazing artist ,I never tire of SRV ! Share the love ✌
You guys have to watch the full concert video, if you haven’t already. You may have with all your reviews, but seeing it beginning to end is just amazing / jaw dropping. Forget who turned me on to the DVD (back in the day:-) but I’ve never seen a better live performance before or after from a guitar player !! Highly recommend taking a night to watch full El Mocambo one night !!
I'm new here but I love it here. Love what yall doing. Yall should check out SRV life without you live at the capital theater. Just awesome!!! Thanks and keep up the good work yall
So glad you guys did this one! Another master performance from the killer El Mocambo show.
Life without you is one of the greatest performances ever from capital theater please check it out
Remember, this is 1983, still using heavily, sweating it out, this is where you heard Texas Flood from, the El Mocambo. (I'm thinking you've already seen their Texas Flood, seems like your reaction was your first SRV experience.)
I just Google it, and his guitar is worth $623,500. I'm surprised it's not the most valuable. That guitar has a story to tell. 💞
Life Without You
SRV . . . what a great ride, what a great trip it's been. Some amazing stuff, never get tired of it.
Stevie named this song and his guitar ( the SRV guitar) Lenny after his wife Lenora . She gave the guitar to him as a gift when they first got together. I heard that she once walked in on him sitting in the middle of the living room floor with tears running down his face . It was the night he was writing this song.
I read somewhere long ago that he was higher than a kite with 2 rolls of string on coke that night and yet, it's still one of the best live shows ever recorded and filmed.
I recommend the song Little Wing if you like his slower grooves.
Stevie is a god!!!! He is a legend. He brought blues to the forefront. Paved the way for so many. Have you looked at Gary Moore Joe bonamassa some of the others? Bonamassa is the greatest selling blues musician ever. In my opinion Gary Moore is the king of sustain
I like that you're wearing a hat that kinda goes with the El Mocambo, T O Tarona, As Robbie Allmar called it, Boo Jays. Lenny, just a great song. I can't say that it's my favourite, because I can't pick a favourite, everything he played blows me away!
Checked your channel out first time last night, since I've watched all SRV reactions. Appreciate the respect your showing him. Lived in Austin was around many great musicians thru my work and musician and live music lover. First met Omar Kent Dykes Guitarist who introduced to Jimmy Vaughn Stevie's older brother and guitarist of his band Fabulous Thunderbirds.was closer to these guys didn't road tour as much then as SRV. Look fellows could go on for hrs. Check back to this video and will give you some rare music from Srv and others artist here's a sample Buddy Guy & SRV. Champaign and Reefer. Filmed at club on Buddy's Bday. They were great friends seen Buddy on break during show lAst.summer. on YT. More wiil come.
Me too. SRV is an all time personal favorite. It’s so nice to see his genius appreciated!! ❤
Pride and Joy is another good one. Lighter. Fun.

This one you have to hear........Steve Ray Vaughan. Chitlins con Carne.
So sad that we lost guitar God Jeff Beck the other day. 😪 He was on my bucket list.
I'm a fan of The Yardbirds, the fact that Jeff Beck, Clapton, and Page all played for the same band at different times 🤯
Hope y’all read this. But in my opinion Stevie’s best song is his cover of jimi’s song little wing. Greatest performance ever.
We did Little Wing Performance. Check out our SRV playlist
The part where the close up his face with the cigarette smoke comes out of his nose kills me every time
I can’t wait to see y’all’s reaction to SRV Life Without You live from the Capitol Theater. It is amazing♥️
No Words...🔥❣️❤️😎
I wish I could go back in time an trade places with him on the chopper that day.
Ditto.
Asia was considered their radio song everybody who writes music in the industry, have to write a radio, friendly song, the rest of the best
This is so beautiful......
SRV had a rough time, alcohol and drugs, but he got clean before...I know he is gone, I remember that day, just like I remember Skynrds ...but I hear them every day, sometimes watch, is like they still here, will be here as long as folks like good music
Never forget that this is a love letter to his wife WOW
4:20 - just so happens the craziest part of the discussion takes place at 4/20… 🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Like I said, before rap killed this music these bands demand much more from a record company than rap musicians all you’ve been listening to probably in your life is rap the rap people sample this music they’ve heard it before. I’m glad you’re giving it a shot going down that rabbit hole there is so much more tip of the iceberg.
No that’s not all we listened to. Our parents played quite a bit of music
When you feel the soulful sound of music 🎶 🎵
I just watched your reaction to Riverside and left a comment to watch this specific Lenny, not realizing you already did. My bad, you're good.
You should check out Stevie Ray and Jimmy Vaughan playing Pipeline on the same double neck guitar!
Really likes you guys
You have to react to Stevie doing Little Wing live at El Macambo
Tightrope live, Austin City Limits 89…Superstition as well!
Such an amazing guitar player. You also need to check out Rory Gallagher, circa 1974.
