This was recorded shortly after his debut album was released. This is the title track. He had played all the guitar solos on Dsvid Bowie's album Let's Dance previously. This is blues. This is 1983. Just when you think he can't get better, he spins around. The solos were too easy previously. LOL And he sings like that. He mainly plays with a pick, but can also finger pick.

I'm an older person and I don't like a ton of hip hop. However, some of it is really good IF you like lyrics...not songs about bitches and HOs

I'm so looking forward to this reaction. A little FYI- Stevie played with the thickest and heaviest strings you could play on and they were lifted higher than most strings on the fret board so that he could get the sound he wanted. He'd rip the skin off of his fingertips from playing and he'd SUPER GLUE them back on and keep playing. He was a little guy (5'5' or 5"6 ish) but LOOK AT HIS HANDS! After his death, #1(the guitar in this video and the only thing that survived the plane crash that killed him- CORRECTION helicopter crash, thanks @howiewarren243) was displayed in a case I believe at a Hard Rock Cafe, and I did read somewhere that LEGEND guitarists couldn't even play his instrument. They (his hands) were massive and also contributed to his ability to literally wrap his hands around the neck of the guitar ALSO- Another great who could not read music and was self taught. Now, if you want to hear another great one from Stevie, look up "Little Wing" from the same concert (el Mocambo) and then find "Life without You" at the Capital Theatre in 1985 (where he loses a tooth and keeps playing),and if you have some time watch his concert at the Montrose. Blues was becoming a "dying" genre and Stevie pulled it back into its rightful relevance. I could go on and on! Amazing amazing artist!

Anyone who plays guitar knows the point I’m making. You break a string “you’re done” until it gets fixed. Vaughn literally didn’t even break a sweat & kept playing on other strings until his tech brought him a new guitar. Absolutely un-matched & absolutely incredible.

SRV was and still is the greatest guitarist ever. Born and raised here in Dallas, Texas, SRV was our own and we take great pride and in claiming him as ours. Have missed him everyday since that horrible day in 1990 when SRV was tragically killed in a helicopter crash in Wisconsin. . SRV started playing the guitar when he was around 7 years old and around the age of 12 years old, he walked up to a stage where Blues Legend Albert King was playing and asked, can I play with you, which no one ever did that. SRV created his own genre, Texas Blues, which is more in your face, nasty, note bending, aggressive playing unlike the regular blues aka Chicago blues where you play a note and then sing a little for a bar or 2 then play another couple of notes...One side note...Hendrix was the innovator...SRV is the Master...One last side note...SRV played by ear only. Could not read music...SRV played size 12 strings, which are basically bass guitar strings. A normal guitar has size 6 strings. He truly was a God send from God Himself. Closest thing to SRV...Kenny Wayne Shepherd. If you ever wanna talk SRV, im here. I'll talk SRV 24 - 7 with y'all

SRV emoted pure soul in all aspects of his art. Brilliant & wicked showmanship 🤘🤘

Eyes wide open now... Stevie and Eddie are both superb guitarists, each for their own reasons - Stevie got his first record deal after this show in 1982, people thought he was brand new, but had been playing since the 1960s, his older brother Jimmy had the band "The Fabulous Thunderbirds" - another Blues/Rock band - i listen to Stevie and Eddie equally, admiring what each one brings to the table, along with other guitar greats like Clapton - Hendrix - Page - Gilmore and many more - Stevie was called out by the "old timers" saying that "He" should be the only one to play "Hendrix" one of his "specialties" checkout Hendrix Voodoo Child - and then Stevie's cover of it. Stevie's sound is hard to replicate since he was known to use some of the thickest strings available, and still bend the way he does is a testament to his love of it. RIP to all that have come and gone....

Yessir! Sorry for the long comment, this just got me hyped! (This was 1982 by the way, a few months before he was discovered by the world). You've officially been baptized by the greatest to ever do it. He is improvising - all feel and soul - most of the entire song - he has his go-to licks and structure and moves but his soul get's locked in and he just leaves normal earth behind and travels and brings us along (one of the cool things about getting into the blues...it will help your guitar playing to learn the blues as it is the source of all music, and once you have some comfort, you can improvise forever.). Welcome to a new world as there are dozens of videos of SRV and he NEVER disappoints. ALWAYS DO HIM LIVE!!! Most people check "Voodoo Child" next, any version will do, and to really hear his vocals "Life Without You - Live at Capital Theater" - "Mary Had a Little Lamb - live from Austin" and EVERY SINGLE song from this concert, SRV Live from El Mocambo (check out "Lenny" from the same concert to have instant brain explosion). He is the Baddest MF to ever go out and demolish the guitar and electric blues on stage. While he can be so gentle, precise, and take you through the clouds with the angels bending around soft corners, he also rips and tears into it like he is possessed with something, mean, beautiful and spiritual all at the same time. He was on fire that night - every night - but it is a gift to guitar players and music lovers that people were on hand to record this night, from which this version of "Texas Flood" is from. He never played the same song the same way twice, so you can watch a different "Texas Flood" live and he'll do the same basic structure, some of the main licks and such, but every time out he let his soul drift into some magical place and he gave it all back, and it'll be a totally different outcome. He eventually gave us his life (RIP Stevie it still hurts) in a freak helicopter crash in 1990, 7 years of the spotlight, and IMO - and its cool for anyone to love whoever, Van Halen, Jimmy Page, of course Jimi Hendrix -and many many more - the most, it isn't about wrong or right, it is personal and whoever hits you or touches your soul is your GOAT - but for me and multiple generations since, it all begins and ends with Stevie. The blues are an incredible rabbit hole to go down which stretches you back to insane players like Robert Johnson in the 1930's, with cheap beat-up acoustic and nothing else, playing for whiskey and a bed that night in the old deep American south (Mississippi Delta blues is THE SOURCE) to BB King in the 60's and a zillion other amazing players. Stevie's beat up 1962 Fender Stratocaster you just watched is arguably the most valuable guitar on planet earth (if you go back and watch or on future vids, he just uses one pedal, and a Wah pedal, but he is constantly adjusting his pickups and tone knobs mid song in a purely subconscious master wizard level, to get that perfect tone (his tone is just as epic as his playing). He called this guitar 'Number 1' and it is the sickest guitar hands down, to me at least. SRV went through a battle of life to arrive at the man you just witnessed and his guitar fits the part. Enjoyed many of your vids over last couple years, glad you got to this one, it is a game changer.

Love to see younger people appreciating Stevie Ray great reaction I saw him live in Sydney Australia in 1986 my favourite musician ever.

It's impossible to overstate the significance of Stevie's music.....one of many true artists...... Music touches us in ways we don't expect. I listen to certain pieces and weep...utterly weep. The music draws it out...pulls it out of you. THAT matters.

I've been watching reaction videos to every genre for maybe 5 or 6 years now, SRV was and still is my favorite rabbit hole. Highly recommend one of the three: Life Without You (live @ the Capitol Theatre), Lenny (Live @ the El Mocambo), or Little Wing (also live @ the El Mocambo). Some of the most intense & emotional performances I've ever seen, regardless of artist. Absolutely breaks my fucking heart that he died the way he did, especially after getting sober.

I've seen SRV 6 times. And I've seen all the greatest Blues players over my 68 years on this planet. And I can say without a doubt he is the very best of all time. From "Look at Little Sister" to his bluesy version of the "Mary had a little lamb" to "Cold Shot" to "Caught in the Crossfire" & a slow instrumental "Riviera Paradise" you can see his diversity running thru his veins powered by his soul.

A bad honky-tonker just a-layin' it down.

You being just gobsmacked is adorable🎉

Glad you got to see One of the Best Blues Players there ever was!!!!..

Stevie Ray is one of best to ever do it! God bless Texas!

A legend in his own right and the only person who could get close to Hendrix when playing his songs.

Stevie let his guitar be his words, the day he died was a huge loss to this world.

Only man alive who could make a massive, destructive flood sound sexy....and yes, THIS is the blues through its beautiful evolution as embraced by a master musician, absolutely unique ❤. Glad you appreciate it 😊
