SRV ~ 🎸🐐 THE goat of all goats Guitar change, one-handed, behind the back, backwards, with his teeth, epic speech...dude was an alien. 👽

Stevie was referencing South African apartheid specifically but the words are timeless. He was such a kind and humble man. Rest In Peace, Stevie.

Exactly. The reference to "The Motherland" and "down south". I was in my late teens/early twenties at the time. Most of the current generations won't understand the reference, but the words are relevant and relatable.

I love how we always hold these guys to be greater than life. Guitarist like Hendrix and Stevie, who we often say “they weren’t human, they were aliens or they were from another planet” but I think the beauty of it, is that they were in fact human. They were flesh and blood like the rest of us. But they worked their way for us to hold Them to next level and that’s really beautiful

ironically the song was about the loss of a good friend and mentor Charley Wirz, who gave the " Lipstick Special " to SRV.. so it is fitting that he played that song with that guitar and on that stage on that night.... for the last show to ever be played their.. i will always remember that show as one of the best and special shows on many many levels... but mostly because it was my 16th birthday and my best friends dad bought us tickets and went to the show with us...

So, he actually lost a tooth during this performance and you can see him mouth off to someone on the side saying, “my tooth…..gone!” With a big smile on his face haha I love it, he is simply amazing and sadly died way too soon.

You're seeing Stevie sing a lyric that is now on his own grave stone. It says Thank you for "all the love you've passed our way..." Because Charley Wirz meant so much to him I think this is one of his most beautiful heartfelt songs & my favorite. "Life Without You" - SRV Well hello baby, Tell me, How have you been? We all have missed you, And the way you grin The day is necessary, Every now and then For souls to move on, Given life back again Fly on, Fly on, Fly on my friend Go on, Go on and live again, Love again Cause day after day, Night after night Sittin' here singin', every, every minute As the years go passin' by, by, by, A long look in the mirror, We come face to face Wishin' our love we took for granted A love we had yesterday, Cause Life Without You 🌟All the love, you've passed our way🌟 Angels have waited, for so long Now they have their way Take your place....

Saw him live 2x - absolutely nobody better. He loved, loved, loved to play! R.I.P. Loved your reaction!

Yeah man the speech. Stevie liked to give a little sermon always during this song live, but this clip you just watched has the best all around performance (his singing, dope right??) - but he meant those words and lived a LIFE & 1 half, to gain the right to speak them to 60,000 people and that is why they are so powerful. He suffered, he rose, and he lived to spread love. Then 5 years after this vid he was taken in his 30s in a helicopter crash - random cruel world. He was so many things to so many people, And just happened to be the most wicked guitar player of all time. A lot of people have the same reaction to seeing this, legendary no doubt - but it was awesome watching yours - it obviously hit home in all the ways SRV does once you are put on to him - nobody else like him. I' recommend "Mary had a Little Lamb" live from Austin City Limits - or "Tin Pan Alley - Live with Johnny Copeland.". But lucky for you all, they are limitless really.

Stevie RAY VAUGHN was the best concert I've ever been to

Next one should be Tin Pan Alley! He just gets better and better! The GOAT OF GOATS😎

Stevie is another level. Check out Stevie Ray Vaughan with Johnny Copeland tin Pan Alley

If you want super chill…you need to listen to Riviera paradise. It’s one of his songs that nobody really knows of, except for people who know SRV. Austin city limits version. ITS A MUST WATCH🍻

Stevie revived the BLUES. After all of the great AFRICAN AMERICAN BLUES artist like Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, BB King, Robert Johnson, John Lee Hooker, Johnny Copeland got old and passed Stevie came around and carried the Torch and kept the BLUES alive and kicking. Thank God for these amazing musicians.

Now its time to see him do the nursery rhyme "Mary Had A Little Lamb" live from Austin.

You hit the nail on the head ... Stevie was feeling it! He wrote this song in memory of his good friend Charlie Wirz, who owned a guitar shop and gave Stevie that white guitar which was specially made as a gift. At the start when he bent down, he was adjusting one of his effects pedals. He also lost a tooth during this performance! Check out "Mary Had a Little Lamb" , "VooDoo Child", or "Love Me Darlin" from his live Austin City Limits show.

The Greatest of all time Mr Stevie Ray Vaughn! So smooth with the adjustments, and is my number 1 favorite guitarist. Check out his pal Jeff Healey, He's blind and is incredible.

Just started on your channel yesterday, and love it. With seeing how you enjoyed SRV, Pink Floyd and Zeppelin, and you said you normally listen to R&B or rap. I highly recommend to you Steely Dan as one your next classic rock artist to check out as they have a R&B and Blues influence on the majority of their music. So many classic hits by them, you won’t be disappointed.

Now for the next SRV vid!!! Lol please try Tin Pan Alley live with Johnny Copeland!! No stopping now!!❤️🎸🔥🎶

Did you notice he changed guitar, he looks off to the side and nods yes. Stevie never played a song the same way. If you saw him let's say for example the 5 o'clock show and saw him at the 9 o'clock show he'd play the same song but it would be different. His base player and drummer had to watch him. Must see Look Little Sister, smoothest guitar change in my opinion. He was only 5'5" in stature but a giant of a man. Look for him and his protege Jeff Healey.

SRV is the best, real Texas blues. Now need to check out “change it” live at Capitol Theatre, official

Its funny how Stevie started that song with a RED GUITAR then switched to the a WHITE GUITAR, Broke a tooth playing with his teeth, played behind his back!!! Thats why STEVIE HAS BEEN, IS AND AlWAYS WILL BE THE BEST!! 🔥😍🎸🔥😍

Someone suggested Jeff Healey...he is fantastic... Check out Roadhouse blues or See The Light (Live) for starters. He also plays with SRV - Look at Little Sister :)

I think you missed it, when he starte with a red guitar, then switched to the white guitar!? String broke, so he had to make adjustments after the vocals

I had read he went to white one for this because it was the one Charley Wirz made for him and this song was to honor Charley who died unexpectedly of a heart attack. Either way, he could switch off like no one's business.

The cutest thang was yall watching over your right shoulder checking on that youngin!! Keep shining ✌️

He never plays the same song the same way twice ever on any song so some songs he may play behind his back and then choose not to another time he’s already played behind his head while dancing he plays with his teeth he’s done some amazing things with a guitar and he is truly one with the guitar a true guitar goat!!! RIP SRV

Thankyou love this ... makes me cry at such a beautiful soul being taken so young...but also so horrifically. A beautiful voice that people forget coz of his superb guitar magic lol Song he wrote for a friend who died but the words could equally apply to him! ☹ An the speech is prophetic...breaks my heart. Only Stevie & Elvis can mesmerise me & perform with no fx etc an i'd listen to them non stop Live of course...both unique style, transcended music as if channeling...did their own thing in each concert as they felt it...and very loyal to their band members...Elvis said he wouldnt play the Texas astrodome if his backing singers were not allowed to join him....David Bowie used Stevie to play on his most popular album Lets Dance & promised him and his band a slot on his world tour so Stevie could play also with Bowie but at the last minute told him to drop his band "you'll be better off on ur own"...Stevie refused to play again for Bowie yet ever the polite guy like Elvis..wouldnt slate Bowie when he easily could.....both very humble & generous...unfortunately Stevie was killed before he was more widely known...his guitars will never "sing" again...we are so lucky thete is tons of SRV Videos from very young right up to almost his last gig (on audio tho and interestingly he played Voodoo Child as the last number, Jimi Hendrix played that as HIS last song b4 dying..very strange. The group of other guitarists decided one more with all of them so an extra performance was done..and in rolled the fog...the rest is a damn tragedy!!)

stevie is the one of a kind we all have songs we like for one reason or another. we all have talents in some way why do we have to compare people why cant we just live and enjoy all people for their accomplishments and hard work .... believe me.... stevie never let that guitar leave his hand. he probably sleeped with it in his hand thats love of what you enjoy in life

This is what it feels like when someone reaches deep in side you,and lifts you up, and breaks your heart at the same time.... No one has ever came close.... Not saying that there weren't any other great guitarist... But he is the only one, to me in , my life time to ever opened me up ,and the same Tim made me 😢

Anything live from him !!! ANYTHING YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED !!!!

Master class is in session

Just for kicks you should watch Stevie and his brother Jimmy playing Pipeline together on the same guitar.

If my mom knew where I was I would be still grounded. I was 15 and at this concert, I lived on Long Island and went to Passaic New Jersey, This song always stuck to me, I loved his little speech, 37 years latter I still hear the speech in my head!

My man's reaction here is quite common, and it shows on his face..."This boy is nasty"! Yes, he was, and I'm happy to say that I had the pleasure to experience it live way back in '82. To describe his performance in one word, it was "mesmerizing"!

There's a video out there that shows a young SRV jamming with BB King, and the smile on BB King's face says it all.

Stevie lived for many years in my city, and we loved him well. Salute from Austin, Texas.

Theresa video of Stevie playing the two neck guitar with his brother Jimmy Vaghan. His brother is about3 years older and very highly regarded as well. It's amazing.

Master guitar player!!

He nearly died because of his additions, used to hide his pain, but got clean and sober in 1986. He spent the rest of his short life helping others. He was kind, gentle, humble. Please explore more of his music. Definitely “Tin Pan Alley” featuring Johnny Copeland, and “Lenny,” from El Macombo.

After that smooth guitar change, Steve is playing the white strat style guitar with lipstick pickups built for him by his close friend Charley Wirz, who owned a guitar shop in Dallas. The song, "Life Without You" was written by Stevie about his friend's passing. Stevie named the guitar Charley. (Note: At about the 13:00 mark, Stevie positions the guitar on stage relative to his amp to cause feedback and use it as an effect.)

He is a fantastic musician and human being-Go and tell it, Stevie

🙌👏✌️💯 One of my most favorite performances from any artist. You are right it is legendary. Welcome to the SRV rabbit hole🎸🎶‼️.,it is a great place to be. You will get lots of requests for his Jimi Hendrix cover of Voodoo Child at different venues. He never plays the the same song the same way. It is always what is moving him in the moment. So when you get around to doing Voodoo Child, choose the 1985 performance from Toyko. It is creative and inventive, free flowing and next level. It is full on Stevie in the zone and flowing down his musical river. Enjoy✌️🦋

Texas Flood live at El Mocambo is Stevie's best video in my opinion. We lost our dear Stevie in 1990. While leaving his last concert he was on his way to Chicago. The pilot crashed the helicopter during poor weather. RIP to the GOAT and all who lost their lives that awful night 😪

The playing with his teeth, behind the back thing he got from Jimi Hendrix! Jimi used to play it behind his head too! Check him out. He was a big inspiration for SRV!

STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN and JIMMY HENDRIX are the GUITAR GOATS.

Little Wing & Lenny. Those two are masterpieces.

Saw this man when I was 13. My dad was a blues guy. I will never forget this show. He was amazing..still have his bandanna. When you saw him you knew something was different . I’ve seen a lot of great acts on the road since but none that take me to that place. I’m grateful to have seen such a legend.. rip s.r.v.

You didn't even notice the the subtle guitar change at the beginning of the video! Seamless & awesome!

My favorite SRV~ you must check out "Tin Pan Alley" with Johnny Copeland It's unforgettable. Johnny Copeland also had a tragic death, after years of cardiac problems, he died less than a year after heart transplant at the age of 60. A number of other artists held charity performances to help cover his enormous medical bills. Tin Pan Alley is an unforgettable performance ~RIP SRV and Johnny

Baby wanted to watch.

I was actually waiting for this part to come up and you thought he only played behind his back silly you

Anyone notice he blow a string after a minute and switched from a red guitar to a white one without stopping and didn't miss a beat.he was unreal the best ever.

SRV=GOAT

Stevie Ray wrote this song for his friend and guitar builder Charlie. Charlie passed away unexpectedly. Charlie made Stevie that white guitar. The words " Thank you for all the love you passed our way". When Stevie died, his mother had brother had those words engraved on his headstone. When you get to Texas, go to Austin and see his statue. Then. You can go to Dallas/Oak Cliff cemetery and see his burial plot. If you want to visit Pantera, Dime and Vinnie are buried around Arlington. Stevie played with BB King. You should react to those songs. BB adored Stevie Ray and the feelings were mutual.

Can't believe reactors don't notice a guitar change. He had to change his foot pedal and all the amps to match Charlie, his white guitar made by his friend Charlie who built that beautiful guitar for Stevie before he died. Stevie wrote this song for him and always plays his white guitar and gives a message still relevant today. He finally got sober for 4 years and was snatched from us.We miss him so much 33 years later. RIP💔SRV🎸

A cool reaction video, you should check out another great guitar player. Rory Gallagher - Tattoo Lady. Live at Rockpalast 1979, Rory Gallagher is one of the most respected rock stars ever. He was one of Stevie Ray Vaughan idols, Rory died in 1995 at the age of 47.

During this song wherever he performed it, his had a different inspirational message. After he got clean it was focused on not doing drugs.

Tin Pan Alley with Stevie Ray and Johnny Copeland. Amazing performance.

Well of course BB King story would be relevant; Stevie Ray Vaughan was blues; he played with all the greats & revived Blues from obscurity. BB King, his mentor Albert King, Johnny Copeland (should check out Tin Pan Alley with those two), Buddy Guy (should check out SRV :& him playing at his club), Albert Collins (should check out his Presidential Innaugural Ball performance of Texas Flood, he insisted on Albert Collins accomanying him & performing. Dude was the Blues.

This is amazing, his playing no one like him,lost a pick lost a tooth behind his back,what can you say the message made me think we are on this earth no matter our Colour we should respect one another love one another,pick up your brother or sister and show them love God Bless each one of you,RIP Stevie Ray Vaughan

I actually worked a couple of shows at the stage end to the local union with Stevie Ray Vaughan this one is at the Capital Theater in Passaic and I was standing on his side of the stage not too far away but just enough for that they let you but it was close enough for me man was an amazing show I never forget it and I'm going to miss him so much

The guitar 🎸 GOD!!!!!!!!!

I was so fortunate to get to see him twice live!

Does anyone ever comment on how smooth he switched guitars in the middle of the song and never skipped a beat?

this is the nastiest solo ive ever seen him play, and ive seen quite a few----he could shred with one hand better than most people could shred with four hands, the dude was just...i dont even know, a staggeringly gifted genius...ive seen ppl react to this song, like, 4 times now, and its starting to make me tear up, lol.....anyway, great reaction, u guys:)

TIN PAN ALLEY featuring JOHNNY COPELAND. BLUES at its best. 🤞💯🔥🤯✌

A good one to react is Jeff Healey "As the years go passing by" Jeff lost his sight at I year old. His guitar playing is amazing!

I am so glad you had the chance to know his music.

I was lucky enough 2C SRV 4 timeslive and I really miss real music. Dude is a legend

one of the smoothest guitar changes ever!

When he bent down he was most likely adjusting a guitar pedal which is used to apply an effect to the sound of the guitar. If you want to see another great performance of his, check him out playing Little Wing live at the El Mocambo.

Did you guys miss the guitar change-out toward the beginning of the song? He was a master of switching guitars mid-stream, often when a string broke.

I love love love going to blues bars. Eating good food while listening to some amazing talent. It's the best way to eat :)

Little Wing is next SRV you should hit, definitely.

So glad you covered my favorite SRV~ need to do Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland...and you're welcome! Nice job!

Did you notice the quitar change, it was so smooth at 2:20. He started out with a brown one and ended with a white one.

He had a close relationship with B.B. King some said it was like a father son bond between the two. They preformed together often. Also with Albert King. Check some of it out on here sometime. If you do a general search with BB King and Stevie it should bring up some things they have preformed together. Also check out the performance Stevie did with his brother Jimmy Vaughan called Pipeline.

Ooh! My favorite SRV video/song. Love this man so much. He was clean and sober here. Great reaction you two ! 💜 Y'all need to check out Beth Hart and Joe Bonamossa doing I'd Rather Go Blind - live in Amsterdam. Joe was trained by BB King I believe - he's been playing since he was 12 years old. I think Joe is the best blues guitarist alive and Beth is definitely the best blues singer 💙

When he bent down he needed another pick. In the course of playing they break, wear out or he drops them. He keeps extras up by the microphone stand. He adjusts the tone and sound with his feet. They have pedals. You can really tell this by Voodoo Child from Austin. He steps on the pedals with his leg forward to reach it. Then in a bit when doesnt need that effect you see him step on the pedal and push off to get away from the microphone. Also when he bends over to pick up a pick he reaches straight down usually, and is never down long in enough to adjust anything.

He always had a positive message in this song he was a very kind soul

The look on Ole boyz face when he went to picking with his teeth. Lol

Greatest guitarist of all time IMO

If you like the performer talking to the audience, you may want to check out the most recent version of U2's Paris live version of Bullet the Blue Sky.

He actually wrote this song for a long time friend that passed away! You should listen to him play Leave my girl alone! I haven’t seen you guys react to Eric Clapton Layla or My fathers eyes. Clapton has a tone called the”mother” tone and it can’t be replicated!

He plays better behind his back than 95% play in the front lol... MAster...
