Stevie said in an interview once, "I really have no idea what I am playing or what I will play, I can't read music, I have to get into a groove with the band, and then it just happens". The band follows him, and he follows the band. it is a circle.

I think Eric Clapton said something to the effect of “Stevie Ray Vaughan inspires people who have never played an instrument to learn guitar. And he inspires guitar players to give up and find a different pursuit” :p

Eric so overrated as Is Chris Stapleton
Clapton gave him the best compliment I think another musician could ever give another musician and that was that SRV was a channel. 😮. In my mind, that means that there’s no distinction of where SRV ends and the guitar begins. It’s all one instrument channeling music. Pure musical genius.
I had the privilege of seeing SRV on tour with Jeff Beck when I was 16. Had never heard of him. As a young metalhead/guitar player I was completely unprepared. The experience changed my entire outlook on music. What an absolute legend.
Watch Life Without You live at the Capitol Theatre. That's amazing.

The great Delta Blues man Muddy Waters once said about SRV: "He's the whitest black bluesman he'd ever heard!!!" High praise from a true Blues G.O.A.T. And this cover is the definitive one out there..Imagine if Stevie and Jimi had lived what type of music they'd be creating ✌️🤘🧐
See, the thing is, Stevie Ray cannot be compared to anyone. He was a natural born world shaker. A true phenom. We have a statue of him here in Texas, as he is a demi god here. Y'all should come visit and see it. Nobody meant any disrespect towards you or Chris Stapleton by defending Stevie Ray's honor and skills. He's very special to us, all of his fans. It's cool that y'all are discovering him, and appreciate him too. 👌🤠🥳🎸

Isn't Stevie Ray Texas' Favorite son ? Saw an image of the statue of Stevie 'holding' a yellow rose(of Texas). Touching. Love how his 'shadow' is playing guitar. Thank you Stevie, every day of my life. Peace.
Sometimes his own band members Tommy and Chris, look up at him in amazement while they are playing. I just adore Stevie..
Starting to be my favorite music reactors. You two get it, whatever the song is. The El Mocambo show is just fire. I wonder if the people in attendance were aware of just how lucky they were...? If you like SRV, I highly suggest Testify also from El Mocambo, it's just non-stop action from SRV. One of my favorites.

RIP Stevie. Jimmy and Stevie were friends. The cover is Stevie’s way of honoring his friends memory. RIP Jimmy
Stevie Ray Vaughan. A guitar God. Is he the best ever? Some will put others in that discussion. But, no one will put anyone as being better. He has that rare sense that so few have ever had: “feel”. He can play a cover and remain true to that artists vision while at the same time being uniquely SRV. The immense, other worldly talent of a once in a lifetime artist. Take the opening. Just learn to play that. You will find it will take years to get it as good as Stevie (and Hendrix), if you can do it at all. And, that was only the intro!

Flea, Geddy Lee, David Eady and countless others are bassists I truly admire, but those 4 are guys where I first connected to the bass. Also, Tom Waits' long time bass player is awesome as is JJ Grey's bass player.

In my opinion the greatest guitarist who has ever lived. I know it’s debatable, but you’re not changing my mind
Jimi Hendrix's most iconic song. When he played it live, you never knew where he'd take it. SRV takes it to another level. You would have to know Hendrix's full library to recognize how Stevie includes other Jimi rifts into his live performances. Power of Love at 10 minutes in. Stevie totally got Hendrix and the vibe he was presenting.
That guitar spent the rest of its life in therapy.

I was very fortunate to see him play in Austin and I was in the second row and it changed my life. It scarred me in a good way. Left that concert in a daze. Love Stevie !!!
"Life Without You" Live at Capitol Theater is my favorite for many reasons. 1) The seemless guitar change 2) He speaks to the audience 3) the lyrics he wrote & sings for his friend Charley were actually chosen for Stevie's own gravestone 😭 "for all the love you brought our way" 4) He plays guitar with something besides his hands. Enjoy the GOAT 🩷 "Little Wing", to me, is what I think heaven might sound like.
You are right to be blown away. I’ve watched it 20 times and I get blown away every time
I saw him the night before he died. Stevie, Jeff Healy and Eric Clapton. Concert price $20. Best concert ever!!!
The goat in my opinion. And think about this. Think about all the great guitarists in history. How many of them played guitar and did the singing? Very very few. It's pretty hard to do.
"Third stone from the Sun" from THIS concert will BLOW YOUR MIND📣❗️👈
I haven't seen any of my favorite guitarists outdo SRV in playing this song!!! His creativity is second to none!!!!
I love his studio version, but this rendition at El Mocambo is by far my favorite. Chris & Tommy were fluid with his playing, which is why they were so tight. They all worked so well with each other that it was practically perfection, and the El Mocambo show was evidence of this. I've been to Stevie's grave a few times over the last 6 years. It's so peaceful there that I don't want to leave. Touching his gravestone, you can still feel that energy that he had.
NOBODY could cover Jimi the way that Stevie covered Jimi . . . Not even Jimi. If you haven't seen Stevie's cover of "Little Wing", same venue, you really need to see it. It's another level . . . . .

Stevie an Jimi were both amazung guitar players, and we lost them both so young. Jimi at 27, Stevie at 35. RIP Jimi & Stevie!!!
Y’all were getting I to this one! SRV was such a talent. He is missed so much
Stevie Ray Vaughan's only commercial success was with *"Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble - The House Is Rockin' (Official Video)"* *SRV Trivia* - Stevie booed through entire set at the 1982 Montreux Jazz Fest. Then returned in 1985 as one of the Festival's Head Liners.
I saw Stevie live in the late 80’s. Was blown away! ❤
One of Jimi Hendrix best songs covered by another great musician in SRV. ❤❤ Jimis father once said he could feel Jimi when Stevie played his songs.
Greetings my friends. I really enjoy watching you both expand your musical horizon. Steavie Ray, Eddie Van Halen are so fun to watch. Their mastery of the guitar are truly unrivaled. And yet my friends there is another...a man by the name of Roy Clark. It is said that if it had strings he could play it. Multi instrument player. Violin/fiddle, guitar, bango and probably a barbed wire fence if he wanted to. Might I suggest Maleguena...live on network TV and you'll see even the actors are stunned. Dueling banjos live is a great one as well. He was very funny while being a wizard with the strings
You will have to check out Tin Pan Alley with Stevie and Johnny Copeland ♡♡♡ Lol they both have Mad Skills♡♡♡ one of my Favorite with Stevie♡♡♡♡
You all have a cool style to your reactions, Stevie is the MAN undisputed - reaches out into another dimension and brings it back through himself into that old battered Strat (he called it "#1" and I can't speak for humanity at large but that is probably the most like, dream guitar for blues guitar players to have if you had one wish). It is safely with his older brother, primary role model, and also a Texas blues guitar legend, Jimmy Vaughan, right where it should be....other than in my living room...I have an "SRV Fender Strat" that is my love, so that's done fine for 3 decades, but you may see some other of his guitars in future videos but next time you see this one, the 1962 Fender Stratocaster that fits Stevie perfectly, take some pauses to really check it out - it has been through war and lived 100 lifetimes to be the vessel for his insane and beautiful music and skill - just like he had to live to get to be as good as this...they were meant for each other. Every video you hopefully gradually get to will just make you love him more and more - humble kind soul and the loss hurts deep down 30 years later. But, channels like this bringing him to a new world of people is to me is such a beautiful thing, keep doing your thing, lotta fun!

@@glenndavis1665 What a cool connection - my wallet always starts sending off alarm bells at the guitar stores as you never know when one will just grab you - but that is a much more unique link into the Universal connection that pervades the aura around Stevie. Suffice to say after 30 years my SRV Strat (not one of those 10K custom shop jobs with the fake wear and tear - cool as they are it feels like cheating) - plays like a dream though mine still looks pretty fresh but I am amazed to look back and realize it turns 30 next year. Again, I haven't been sleeping on pool tables gigging since I was 15, but it doesn't mean I wouldn't love to have a vintage worn -out Strat if money and luck brings one into my world. Hard to beat #1 though, his life and his look and his style - no one can call that anything but legit. Some hotshot new guy on the block - even if they are great and deserve tons of respect - it's kind of a cliche to try to emulate the 'Number 1' look- SRV is SRV. I reckon you have a pretty sweet collection!
The "Blues" are the roots of rock n roll.
the whole EL MOCAMBO show is early 80's ,,raw SRV ,,,,,,,,,,and it kicks M EFFIN ASS
Now this is one bad dude RIP SRV
The G.O.A.T.!!!!
Mary had a little lamb is a fun one
next time you do stevie ray you should check out (Life Without You) he does everything in that video. Early in the song he switches guitars without missing a beat, adjusts his amps twice, gives a short sermon, plays alittle with one hand, plays with the guitar backwards, picks with his teeth, and plays behind his back. when he picks with his teeth he loses a tooth. he looks off stage and grins, then says my tooth it's gone.
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 fog was so bad after the show that we stopped and got a hotel room on the way home. The lineup was SRV, Eric Clapton, Robert Cray and Buddy Guy. RIP SRV!
Can you begin to see how those of us who were Immersed in this music..,,,growing up in the 60’s and 70’s….when guitar was king of rock and the top guitar players were rock “gods”…….how much modern popular music genres like rap and hip-hop are just missing something? This sound that you just heard, that mesmerized you….that was so powerful, so “sexy” if you will, so charismatic……it’s just GONE in most current music. I like allot of 80’s music…and 90’s grunge (which brought back that heavy guitar sound)….but most popular music seems so insipid without all the power and depth of sound that these great players brought to us. This kind of music is still out there, but you have to look for it, it’s not mainstream. Back then, it was everywhere….It was what rock music WAS.
SRV/legend, forever lives on, thru his amazing music😎 Thanks!
Cool watching younger gens getting into our music. It was awesome then still is. Cheers
Srv is the goat ! Please watch "life without you " at the capital theater it's incredible and will show you why he's the best. Thanks, love your reactions keep up your great work
Stevie the number one !!
This is great guys. If you want another Jimmi Hendrix rendition try Red House by the also gone Gary Moore. GM was another greatness in the blues guitar world. Rock on, like your reactions.
Was lucky enough to have seen him. I had no idea who he was, he opened the show with this.😮
Love the wild abandon he could conjure in his playing. Just love it!
If you guys can, check out his performance of Little Wing from this same concert. It's an instrumental but it happens to be one of the best live recordings of guitar playing in history.

Fun fact… Stevie Ray couldn’t read music… you should watch him play this song you just watched “ voodoo child “ live in Nashville, he plays most of it behind his back.GOAT
His band mates Tommy Shannon (bass) and Chris Layton (drums) were very good musicians as well. It was their continuity and playing off of each other that made them so good. Also the fact that they weren't just doing it for the money and genuinely for the love of music was a major factor.

Voodoo Child is an old Jimi Hendrix song. My band in high school won a talent contest with this song. I was the guitar. A really fun song to play
"Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" is a song recorded by the Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1968 that appears as the final track on the Electric Ladyland album ... Check out some Hendrix's if you dare....

This was Stevie's tribute to him . If you want to hear some original blues try Muddy Waters to start . Saw him with Clapton in my first concert . Lucky sometimes in my life .
