Changed the title of the video. You sir, get the pin.

I’m can’t help get emotional watching SRV. His whole soul is always out there when he plays.

Thanks for doing my request. Every time I watch that I'm amazed. Everything from switching guitars in the beginning without missing a beat to his overflowing emotional outpouring. Absolutely the best in my opinion. Thanks Michael

This is a great version but I think my favorite is the one with the break and Stevie's talking about staying at the party too long. When that solo comes back in it's literally chills. Stevie should be here, it's just not fair.

The Texas Guitar Slinger. Never to be replicated or duplicated. RIP SRV

@@andrewsmith1353I love SRV, however He kinda killed blues in my opinion. Nowadays almost every blues player sound like him, the long solos and also the way the guitar sounds when they play, they sound a lot like SRV. It wasn't like that before him. I mean, taking apart the ones that have been playing for longer than Stevie.

@@felipez7113 yes and no. Killed? a little harsh. If anything all those people trying to replicate SRV would mean he revived it, as was his main goal. I do agree that there are many copy cats but it also depends on context. Believe they're using his licks? Well he used licks from those that came before him so if anything he would advocate for it. I do get annoyed when a player just repeats SRV licks over and over, but I try to remind myself that they could be at a different stage in their guitar playing journey. Any player that's had an SRV phase has done it to some extent.

@@bribblr SRV sounds like SRV, BB King sounds like BB King, Buddy Guy sounds like Buddy Guy and so on. If people sound like SRV nowadays, it means blues died long time ago, because nobody is doing anything new. Taking apart very few people, like Joe Bonamassa. Take Kingfish for ex, great guitar player. However I don't thing he's doing anything new, like Leslie West did for example, playing blues like rock and roll. The same goes to the other players, they just sound like SRV, they don't sound like themselves, it is annoying. Jimmy Page sounds like Jimmy Page, he doesn't sound like Brain May or Tony Iommi.

That performance is what you call giving everything to everyone. What a great human being.

This is my favorite SRV song. Live at montreux is a smoking version. And live at the el mocambo gives me goosebumps. His guitar is plugged into his heart and then goes to the amp.

I took LSD 250 and completely lost my mind. 10 hours later I just sit in taxi and took my ass to the most beautiful place in my city (Moscow). I walked ~2 hours just listening this live version and completely understood that our live is just place where we struggling, hurting and winning. I just want you to know, that yall not supposed to be afraid of your life conditions. As Stevie sayed, we have 1 chance in this live to get over here, so God gives us chance to LIVE this pain and to get free. So all of our situations in life only for understanding the law of karma. That’s so deep. I think the people can listen this masterpiece for 1000+ times and took their mind to the other demension. Peace for all of you, guys. We got some hard times, so we need some MIND CONNECTIONS, please DREAM, CREATE, WORK… Just do, what you want/supposed to do, people. I love yall. ❤️

He said Tooth, he chipped a tooth during that performance and he also swapped guitars mid song at the beginning without missing a beat. That wasn’t a strap swap, it was a whole guitar swap

My God, Stevie was a goat!!

The first note to the solo of this song makes me tear up every time. No other musician does that to me

Stevie was just flat out unreal.....

SRV is an absolute legend that showcases what comes from feeling the music vs orchestrating it. Raw emotion on his guitar and through his voice.

This is the song that brought me to the electric guitar.

He is saying " i lost a tooth" n you see him looking for it. Brilliant reaction/breakdown tho. Love it

My favorite SRV song. When he's in one of these intense solos I think the building could be on fire and he wouldn't notice

Just the best. Tuning issues? No sweat. We have the VIBE. #srvforlife

I remember riding in my older brother's truck (with a 3 on the tree that I didn't understand) and the DJ announced that Stevie Ray Vaughan died in a helicopter crash last night. My brother let out some sort of a NOOO! and I asked who he was. My brother wasn't a waterworks kind of guy, but I did see some tears pool up in his eyes. When we got to his house, he played this song on CD, and my love of Stevie Ray was born. Before my brother died, I told him I love him and thank you for introducing me to Stevie's music.

So glad to see more SRV. Never get tired of the goat!!

#1 most emotional performance: anytime SRV plays Life Without You.

This performance is stellar on all levels as if SRV is anything but stellar

SRV and Derek Trucks were blessed, by whatever form of God you believe in, with the ability to effortlessly communicate emotion like no other through the guitar. Absolutely amazing.

You missed the entire guitar swap in the beginning. He just keeps on going like the amazing performer he is!!!

It's a beautiful thing. I feel blessed to have been born and alive at the same time as SRV. Words can't really articulate the amazing player he was. Bombastic with the touch of a butterfly. Soul, in a word. RIP SRV. We love you.

My favorite SRV solo, every live performance of it is different yet magical and better than the recording. Especially when this song was dedicated to his friend's memory (the same friend who built the lipstick pickup guitar he plays this song on) and he would always give a speech in between melting faces on the importance of love, being present, and later his sobriety. For easy listening on Spotify the "Live at Montreaux Casino July 1985" is probably the best guitar solo I have ever heard.

I was very fortunate to see SRV on August 26th 1990!

"Find one thing that works and sell the piss out of it!" 👍 SRV did it like no other.

One of your best analysis, Michael. The guitar finally said, “You win, I’m goin’ out of tune my friend. I can’t keep up”. I was fortunate enough to see him live several times. He played this song almost identical to this video. The passion is off the charts.

THAT TONE! With all the modern tech and fancy mods, nobody can reproduce that special sound SRV had obtained. A true master........

MP, your enthusiasm, passion & love for music , synchs perfectly with SRV’s vibe & essence! Appreciate You & the channel!!

I was lucky enough too see him 10 times live, it was always like that. Just incredible

My 🐐 goat! Thanks

I saw him on that tour at the Arizona State Fair. Great show.

I've been an SRV fan since I was young thanks to my dad. This is my first time seeing this video somehow and I don't know if anything's moved me more.

It looks like he's doing the coolest shit ever

I love that song, and your breakdown was beautiful. I've been playing (around) on guitar/bass for over 30 years and I've love SRV all along the way. So much more understanding of him through this reaction, which leads to greater appreciation. Thanks for doing this one.

FINALLY!!! This is a top 3 request I have! I watch this almost every day haha thanks, Michael! Go Os!

I have been waiting for your reaction to this SRV performance for awhile now. 😎

Stevie RAy is PHENOMENAL

I was lucky enough to see SRV half a dozen times. Unfortunately a friend called and asked if I wanted to go to an SRV concert on short notice (that night). I couldn't. He died pretty soon after. He was always just drenched in sweat by the third or fourth song.

SRV TOP NOTCH ANY GENRE !!! ALL-TIME GREAT !!!

As you know, I am a huge SRV fan. Note that the amp he jacked up is a Steel String Singer made by the late Howard Alexander Dumble. Insanely loud and clean!!

He's floating between major and minor penta scale, but not just for soloing. He wrote this song around the chords that we can play OVER the first position of the minor and the near major . Oh, you just said it, 😊Anyway, great video !

Amen Stevie Ray!!!!! God bless America

Always loved how this one blurs the maj + min pentatonic lines. Tension, then release, confidence

The greatest to ever pick up a guitar! SRV!

a song I always site when talking about SRV as a singer❤❤❤

Has to be my favorite performance of his, along with Lenny & Little Wing @ the El Mocambo. Just so much raw emotion. He's the reason why I picked up a guitar & don't plan on putting it down for the rest of my life.

God have should gave him a second shot. Miss Stevie so much.

I get so emotional on this song because no matter what performance you watch, it’s almost as if he knows just how great he is but plays without that loftinesses in his head, it’s just a jam session sitting on his bed as a boy after school but for me it’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever heard.. it’s literally nothing for him to be the most amazing guitar player of all time and the guitar is literally like screaming and crying all at the same time .. to be so talented and it literally require no effort to do so.. could listen to this song 24/7 365

Legend

SRV was an animal on the strat but then could switch up and play the sweetest most melodic riffs. I think this is my favorite performance by him, raw emotion that just grips you through the screen. He ripped his tooth out he was playing so hard!! I dont think there will ever be another one quite like him

Srv Always tuned down half step, like Jimi

I saw SRV's last show at Alpine Valley. He is and always be my favorite guitarist, because I was able to feel his vibe in person. What a great, but tragic night. I'm 55 now and I decided to learn how to play. If I can ever play with a fraction of his emotion and skill, I will be so happy.

I still get tears in my eyes when I watch SRV's last performance on Austin City Limits. He died not long after that performance. He had been clean and sober for just a little bit too.

My favorite Stevie performance of this was on the riverboat. Just stunning.

Dude had more strength in his fingers on ONE hand than I will ever have in my arms. I could see him doing finger curls with 100lbs. If finger curls were a thing. 😂

SRV was never cooler than he was in this video. My all time favorite.

All the songs that Stevie had inside, waiting to be created...gifts from the heart, like this one in memory of Charlie. It's like a special treasure that gives me comfort just to know it's there when needed. 💔

That note he holds forever goddam

Those that can't, TEACH!!!

Brother the version in New Orleans in white… that second solo after his speech gives my entire body goosebumps. It’s the most soulful solo I’ve ever heard!

he switched guitars and didnt miss a beat, srv did and does things to me no musician can. What he cant sing or express he played it. im so glad i found srv when i did, not only did he make me fall in love with the blues. fell in love with the guitar. Stevie... thank you.

When I think of life without you, I think of SRV. that makes me sad.

I'd forgotten about this song, then fell in love with it all over again a few months back after buying the triple cd "transmission impossible". Such a killer pair of solos, probably my favourite SRV song.

That song along wit "Life by the Drop" are still on my play lists. I've seen Chris Layton many times playing with KWS and Reese Wynans playing with Bonamassa, but I never had the opportunity to see SRV. I still remember where I was the day he died.

LIFE WITHOUT YOU by the great STEVIE RAY VAUGHN.

Watch Jimi Hendrix at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival and you'll see where SRV got his tricks.

I have to say that your reactions are so great! I can see and more importantly feel how much you love the music and your emotional reactions are certainly as genuine as you can get. My first love was guitar but i learned really quick that I just didn't have any chance to play. I have the privilege of being born the same day as SRV except 16 years later. Oct.3rd 1970. Unfortunately that is the only thing I had in common with the blues God! Although i found my talent in a beat up old drum kit. The very first time i picked up the sticks I realized that I had found my true love. I was watching your reaction to srv Texas flood live at the el Macombo. I literally felt how much you actually love what you do. I realized that the way you were reacting is the same exact way i act when I hear great music. It's undescribable how it makes me feel. I really just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your honesty and pure joy when your reacting to the music that we all love! Thank you and keep it real. God bless

Ahhhh awesome. I have always wanted you to do a reaction to this song. Hows about at the end after playing with his teeth he looks over at someone and says my tooth its gone. Whether he broke it or chipped it while playing with his teeth who knows but still awesome

Beautiful. I love the way you love Stevie.❤

What does everybody think, any chance we'll get a chance to see a another crop of guitar greats as the 60's-70's ala SRV, JPage, Santana, Clapton, Beck, the 3 Kings, etc etc that will give the youth of today the same joys these guys gave us all the way through our older years? The gods with whom the guitar became an extension of their body's and souls the way these guys did. Thank you greats!!!

He doesn’t say out of tune, he said lost my tooth, it’s gone. Why? Because he lost his freaking tooth lol. Love that man

Stevie!

Loved it. Good timing with the message. Yesterday had to be hard. Still 6 missing. We all have one shot at it. Love one another and love ourselves. Peace.

Bro he didn’t say he was out of tune he said “Lost my tooth” he plucked it out of his mouth

SRV is the GOAT. Thanks for your thoughts

Love this so much

Love this one! I got to see him three times live!!!❤🔥💪

Thank the lord your ok as soon as I seen the bridge accident I’ve been worried about u and your family

More SRV! And maybe a little more on how to actually mix the major and minor. 🤙😎🎸

I think he said "i lost a tooth. . . .its gone" after he plays the guitar with his mouth hes looking for it on the ground

SRV for life indeed!
