Hey man are you that dude in the video that was on a bus That one lady in her place because she was Complaining about the boss or something like that? From A few years back? That was a great video Lol
Stevie Ray Vaughn is absolutely one of the most talented guitarists of all time.... and omg...Voodo Child.....phenomenal cover.... RIP Stevie....sad he's gone...
"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.
Oh good. You got one his finest Voodoo performances ever. Before his fellow Texans in Austin. living clean and sober. Playing like never before. Awestruck, once again. Chris and Tommy back Stevie like they all came from the same womb at the same time.
I always thought this was one of SRV's worst performances, and it is STILL outstanding. he was fighting with his gear, rushed the tempo like crazy, made entry errors.... I suspect he was fighting some demons in this performance. But even then an absolute genius.
@@don-music That's what makes it so great for a lot of folks. The raw emotion coming out of him during this set was unbelievable no matter how imperfect. He was home and whole again and just letting go.
It's not just his virtuosity with the guitar, it's his huge imagination to continue to play riff after riff with no repeats or thematic framework. There are other guitarists who can play the same notes as SRV, but they run out of notes to play. He was the Energizer bunny.
IMHO, it surpasses Jimi's version, by virtue of the authoritative phrasing and power. Jimi would be the 1st to say that legends like Buddy Guy and many others paved the way for all.
One thing for sure, there will never be another SRV, the G.O.A.T. Damn he was and still is the most awesome blues musician to ever walk on this earth 🌎🪐🌍 SRV = pure fire 🔥🔥🔥I love jimmi a lot but I’m my humble opinion SRV has passed him up. Still I have a lot of love for both ❤❤❤❤
Yep, had a chance to see him and Jeff Beck in STL in 1990 and thought I would have more time. I was able to see Beck a couple of years ago and just made me regret not seeing him and SRV sooner.
I came to the SRV party late, in the mid 1980s. I was an avid Hendrix fan, but when I heard this guy do Voodoo Child on this very performance, it blew my mind and I praised God that another Jimi was in the world...then it was all over. I had friends that went to the Alpine Valley show, his last one before the helicopter crash. That was a terribly grim day, like when Randy Rhodes or Buddy Holly died. But the music lives on.
RIP Stevie Ray...we did not deserve you, so you went on home. The tears cried over your passing floated you to Heaven and I am still crying every time I see you...
@@alesiaking5578 it’s not only a smart mouth but a truthful one. People on here are realistic, not delusional. Take your delusions to an SRV fan page where you can praise him for only peaking to number 38 on the Billboard charts.
John Mayer said most guitarist couldn't play with this intensity for only a few minutes, SRV played for hrs. He also used 13 gauge strings while most guitarist used 9 gauge strings.
He’d gone to somewhat lighter strings at this point (.011 set). Apparently his friend Doyle Bramhall II asked him what happened to the heavier strings, and Stevie replied “I stopped doing cocaine, so I can’t play those anymore. I can actually feel my fingers!”😅 Sobriety FTW.
Stevie played with size 13 strings. He'd still bend them. I use 9's on my strat and Les paul. Still kills my fingers. It's the likes of him we'll NEVER see again.
Speaking as a guitarist who’s done his share of plunking along with SRV’s and Hendrix’s records: most of the things he does, if you break them down, are pretty simple. The hard part is doing all of them at that level of INTENSITY while being as musical and badass as Stevie. We’d need to be somebody else altogether to pull that off. He’s Stevie Ray… we’re not. Lord love him.🤯🎸💖
Ain't nobody like Stevie Ray! He took Jimi's Voodoo Child, made it his own & then dropped into All Along the Watch Tower for good measure. Ought to be illegal for musicians to fly.
Stevie was the best to ever play guitar. Add an incredible voice and stage presence to that makes him the GOAT. That being said, we do not have the opportunity to see him in person any longer, just on video but.... check out Tommy Katona and the band Texas Flood. Tommy IS the best.
In my opinion, he is the best of the best! You should include Little Sister by him. Amazing keys and guitar. Not to mention the smoothest guitar switch ever!
Besides covering Hendrix better than anybody else, Stevie could play right along with the best old school bluesmen. Watch his jam with the great Albert King doing "Born Under a Bad Sign",
Saw this actual guitar…..up close about 8 inches away as it was displayed behind glass for the “Play It Loud” exhibit at Met Museum. I stared for probably a good half hour. Studying all the wear, scratches, indentations. It looked like one bitch of a guitar to play. This man got it to speak like nobody’s business. RIP.
Poor SRV, he predicted his own death. Dreamt he was standing at his own funeral. His wife and brother said he told them he had that dream a couple weeks before the plane crash. I believe these artists are here only to complete a mission, that is, providing music or art for the masses, and generations. Once they complete their mission they are sent back. But since they are of the earth, they have to leave by earthly means, even if painful.
SRV tore it up😳 I can imagine right now, if Van Halen did a cover of Voodoo Child back in the 80s, Eddie's Frankenstrat would literally be in flames from the ferocious playing! Stevie Ray could damn well play!
Stevie was taken way to soon. He was not just a musician but a artist. When he played he never played a song the exact way. He played through his soul. You did only hear his music you felt it.
This is how to do a cover your idol. Outplay him. When I hear this song it takes me a minute to tell if it is Stevie or Jimi. But a few bars in and no doubt it Steve. In fairness, he had a lot more time masterning that lick. If there is one song to see how good SRV is, its this one. You can also find everyone else trying, like Clapton, Santana, and many more, but nobody does can pull it off like Stevie. Jimi would be in awe.
My man....Sweetwater is the place for YOU! I suggest a Boss Katana amp. Great unit, best bang for your buck. Guitar wise, Squier has a lot of great guitars at entry level prices. Alvarez owns my heart for acoustic and they won't break your bank like the "big" names. I own 2 of them and they're my favorites (of 7 acoustics) and what I pick up 90% of the time. I can't say enough good about them. I took up guitar at 50. Do it, you'll be glad you did.
I was introduced to the "stank face" the 1st time I ever heard SRV, and it appears every time I see one of his old performances. If you want to see him at his fastest, check out "Skuttle Buttin'" or my all time favorite "Couldn't Stand the Weather". Keep up the great reactions!!!
YES! YES! This is the reaction I've been waiting for since your first SRV reaction. He is the GOAT. You had a thought bubble about losing your finger tips, you don't know how true that is - Stevie used very heavy strings to get that thick sound and very few people could even physically bend the notes the way he does with strings that heavy.
Six words , Ha I can give you three songs with no words off the top of my head . Apache by the Shadows , Pipeline by the Ventures , and Classical Gas by Mason Williams . There are many more out there but I just gave you three of the best
How’s he do it? A wah pedal, mastery of the pentatonic scale, tons of double stops, lots of soul, etc. the question is: how’d he do it drunk? Except for the last year of his life, may he RIP, he was never sober.
He was sober from late 1986 until his death in August 1990. But it always amazes me how he could play so well even with the large amounts of cocaine and alcohol he was using. I'm so glad he he had 4 years of health and sobriety before he died.
We surely miss Stevie; what an incredible musician and human. This is Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Child Slight Return. Here is the link for Voodoo Chile, the long studio version on Jimi's album Electric Ladyland: ua-cam.com/video/DLGl8Oc484Q/v-deo.html
Aerosmith needs to be up- Album "Rocks"- "Last Child" or Album "Get Your Wings"- "Train Kept a Rollin"- How come you never did Aerosmith? Do "Back in the Saddle", "Toys in the Attic", "No more, No more"- this is one of the biggest bands in the 70's- Love what you do- you are funny and highly entertaining- Rock on Brother Jamal- thanx for keeping the music alive
How can you sit here after watching thus and think man you should cover Aerosmith? He needs to cover some Muddy Waters. Some Albert or Freddie or B.B. King.
My Man!!! This is my go to music moment. Someone that could cover Jimi but make it his own. I think it was Albert King that noticed him when he was young. Another great one up in heaven. Peace and Go Giants!

Hey man are you that dude in the video that was on a bus That one lady in her place because she was Complaining about the boss or something like that? From A few years back? That was a great video Lol
Peace and Love, No doubt. Peace sells but who's buying?
Rest in peace Stevie Ray....
🙏😞💔. Lol.....
Stevie Ray Vaughn is absolutely one of the most talented guitarists of all time....
and omg...Voodo Child.....phenomenal cover....
RIP Stevie....sad he's gone...
SRV’s 1989 Austin City Limits performance was one the very best live shows ever, anywhere, anytime. Legendary!!
Kinda epic like The Allman Brothers live at Fillmore East.
I wish I had been old enough to really appreciate what I was witnessing at the time.
When you want a definition of God given gift, look no further.
He's been gone for a long time, but not forgotten.
The greatest guitar player in my opinion 👍🎸
"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.
That guitar is just Nasty. RIP SRV. ✌️
It's a good thing so much video of SRV exists, the young wouldn't believe it
One of the greatest ever. SRV RIP.
Oh good. You got one his finest Voodoo performances ever. Before his fellow Texans in Austin. living clean and sober. Playing like never before. Awestruck, once again. Chris and Tommy back Stevie like they all came from the same womb at the same time.

Jimi would be proud of Stevie Ray when this came out, now they are tearing it up in rock n roll heaven. RIP to both. ✌️
I so hope your right, and I hope to get a front row seat to that concert in the sky! 🥰
There was never was and never will be another Stevie Ray Vaughan. RIP Stevie! I hope I get to hear your when I am Heaven :)
Stevie's version of "Little Wing" is one of the greatest guitar performances ever imo. He was taken from us way too early
agree, on both.
ALSO Agree! ....ON BOTH!!
I agree!
Best cover ever. Still gives me the chills and 😢😢. Often imitated but never duplicated!!! 💜💜💜💜
Goosebumps with this performance everytime...it's as though ones mind and body are aware they are experiencing greatness...
It's not just his virtuosity with the guitar, it's his huge imagination to continue to play riff after riff with no repeats or thematic framework. There are other guitarists who can play the same notes as SRV, but they run out of notes to play. He was the Energizer bunny.
Some one mentioned his 'Creative Endurance'.
SRV was a true guitar man!!!! He had IT!!
It's rare that a cover of a song is just as great as the original. Stevie Ray could shred a guitar and we were blessed to have him.
IMHO, it surpasses Jimi's version, by virtue of the authoritative phrasing and power. Jimi would be the 1st to say that legends like Buddy Guy and many others paved the way for all.
One great guitar player honors another great guitar player!
One thing for sure, there will never be another SRV, the G.O.A.T. Damn he was and still is the most awesome blues musician to ever walk on this earth 🌎🪐🌍
SRV = pure fire 🔥🔥🔥I love jimmi a lot but I’m my humble opinion SRV has passed him up. Still I have a lot of love for both ❤❤❤❤
I kick myself for missing his concert. I said I will catch him next time he comes into town. Still broken hearted. No one can replace SRV!!
Me too! I had many chances to catch him at a small club in my hometown but put it off, like an idiot, now I really regret it.
Yep, had a chance to see him and Jeff Beck in STL in 1990 and thought I would have more time. I was able to see Beck a couple of years ago and just made me regret not seeing him and SRV sooner.

Yeah that’s cause he was never great but only to a small percentage of fans
@@chipchiperson679 people on here only use kindness, so send your smart mouth somewhere else.
@@alesiaking5578 it’s not only a smart mouth but a truthful one. People on here are realistic, not delusional. Take your delusions to an SRV fan page where you can praise him for only peaking to number 38 on the Billboard charts.
@@chipchiperson679 That was a shame for certain. He was exceptionally talented a musician.
The little man was a Giant.
@@williamwarlick3497 no where near Hendrix’s level.
Voodoo Child-perfect for Mardi Gras! Love Stevie Ray. Nobody else comes close.

The whole band is SOLID
Stevie played with size 13 strings. He'd still bend them. I use 9's on my strat and Les paul. Still kills my fingers. It's the likes of him we'll NEVER see again.
If I don't see you again in this world, see you in the next one...don't be late 🎶🎵 see ya then Stevie 💚
Jimi's lyrics; R.I.P. Jimi and Stevie 😪
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️SRV.
Just had to laugh at the looks from you, dear. That man was GIFTED.
Speaking as a guitarist who’s done his share of plunking along with SRV’s and Hendrix’s records: most of the things he does, if you break them down, are pretty simple. The hard part is doing all of them at that level of INTENSITY while being as musical and badass as Stevie. We’d need to be somebody else altogether to pull that off. He’s Stevie Ray… we’re not.

It doesn't get any better than Stevie Ray Vaughan.
GOAT. Period. End of sentence.
ALWAYS a pleasure to watch a master at work.
Untouchable the Southwest GOAT!!
love the way u didnt stop the song... best to ever live!
"That man said six words and the guitar all the rest of the talking"... captures stevie perfectly. No one makes it talk like stevie.
Ain't nobody like Stevie Ray! He took Jimi's Voodoo Child, made it his own & then dropped into All Along the Watch Tower for good measure. Ought to be illegal for musicians to fly.
The core of Stevie Ray Vaughan is just
Its cool to see how someone else enjoys this music.
I Truely Miss Great Talent... Greatness at its FINEST.....! ❤
Hey man we can’t keep this all to ourselves!!!!!! We love to share SRV!!!!! Just keeping great music alive hombre!!!!! So says Austin Tx!!!🤣🤣😎🍸
This man is a freaking genius... Don't tell me that doesn't.. feel good
That was🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 SRV was truly an amazing and talented artist!!!!
Stevie was the best to ever play guitar. Add an incredible voice and stage presence to that makes him the GOAT. That being said, we do not have the opportunity to see him in person any longer, just on video but.... check out Tommy Katona and the band Texas Flood. Tommy IS the best.
Dang. Raiders of the lost Ark... face melt! Thanks Jamel.
Almost never has someone had such command over an instrument.. to me he surpassed Hendrix and anyone else who came after.. RIP
In my opinion, he is the best of the best! You should include Little Sister by him. Amazing keys and guitar. Not to mention the smoothest guitar switch ever!
It’s fun watching you react again. And I can ALWAYS watch SRV.
Stevie Ray.....god I miss him. One of a kind!
Besides covering Hendrix better than anybody else, Stevie could play right along with the best old school bluesmen. Watch his jam with the great Albert King doing "Born Under a Bad Sign",

That there is the greatest guitarist there ever was
THE BEST GUITARIST EVER TO WALK ON EARTH!
He was a Master on the Guitar
He's in the Guitar ***Trance***!
What a treat, to have been in that audience.
Poor SRV, he predicted his own death. Dreamt he was standing at his own funeral. His wife and brother said he told them he had that dream a couple weeks before the plane crash. I believe these artists are here only to complete a mission, that is, providing music or art for the masses, and generations. Once they complete their mission they are sent back. But since they are of the earth, they have to leave by earthly means, even if painful.
It was a helicopter crash, but close enough.
SRV tore it up😳 I can imagine right now, if Van Halen did a cover of Voodoo Child back in the 80s, Eddie's Frankenstrat would literally be in flames from the ferocious playing! Stevie Ray could damn well play!
Jimi and Stevie weren't human is the only explanation I can think of.
Genius. What else can be said?
Just listening him pull on those strings in perfect tone. He sings that guitar. It is incredible and only BB and Lucille make me feel that same way.
Learning to play is so worth it. It's a lifetime friend!!!
RIP SRV!! THE GOAT!!
I love watching you react to Stevie. I see it all over your face lol. You get it!
SRV = THE G.O.A.T.
goosebumps!!!!
You'll want to watch SRV's Texas Flood.
''The'' MASTER!
I had the same reaction in 1989 and learned how to play guitar. TY Stevie
Electric aural magic right there.,.
You have just witnessed god himself playing guitar ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. SRV
The term "Guitar God" doesn't do Stevie justice.
THAT WAS OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD LOL THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS REACTION HOLYSHIT DOG!! ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE KEEP THEM COMING MORE STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN
Stevie was taken way to soon. He was not just a musician but a artist. When he played he never played a song the exact way. He played through his soul.
You did only hear his music you felt it.
Your bubble about your fingertips, Stevie used super glue to glue his back on. That's commitment.
This is how to do a cover your idol. Outplay him. When I hear this song it takes me a minute to tell if it is Stevie or Jimi. But a few bars in and no doubt it Steve. In fairness, he had a lot more time masterning that lick. If there is one song to see how good SRV is, its this one.

LOVED your reaction, man!
Saw this on Austin city limits when it happened
When Stevie is done playing the Guitar smokes a cigarette.
YES! YES! This is the reaction I've been waiting for since your first SRV reaction. He is the GOAT.
You had a thought bubble about losing your finger tips, you don't know how true that is - Stevie used very heavy strings to get that thick sound and very few people could even physically bend the notes the way he does with strings that heavy.
And he wore out his fingertips, literally.
Try Gary Moore, also a giant….
I love this that guitar has been thru a lot of good times all you hear is Page and Clapton RIP
Six words , Ha I can give you three songs with no words off the top of my head . Apache by the Shadows , Pipeline by the Ventures , and Classical Gas by Mason Williams . There are many more out there but I just gave you three of the best
Jimi Hendrix was a genius. Stevie channeled him well.
👍🤘👍🤘👍🤘👍🤘👍❤️RIP SRV . Thank you 🙏
Unbelievable player. Probably around 90% of the way to Hendrix Street.
I believe he used heavier strings, like number 10. That produced that very big sound, and he was able to play with intensity ongoing, like no other.
I was blessed to see SRV live … he would be killed in a plane crash about 6 months later😢. He was AMAZING
Marcia, he was my late husband's favorite artist. We were lucky enough to see him at a relatively small venue in DC. Amazing is right.
Texas Flood will blow your mind. 🤯Can’t wait to see it.
How’s he do it? A wah pedal, mastery of the pentatonic scale, tons of double stops, lots of soul, etc.
the question is: how’d he do it drunk? Except for the last year of his life, may he RIP, he was never sober.

You should review “Couldn’t stand the weather” from that same concert, unbelievable!
Oh boy you’re gonna get mind blown!!!!! no doubts🤣😁✌️
He said "I'm a Voodoo Child" and then he showed you that he is 😁
We surely miss Stevie; what an incredible musician and human. This is Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Child Slight Return. Here is the link for Voodoo Chile, the long studio version on Jimi's album Electric Ladyland: ua-cam.com/video/DLGl8Oc484Q/v-deo.html
