This is Stevie AFTER he got clean and sober. Came back STRONG !!! It is written by Double Trouble about the situation they all were in. ALL SRV to me is 100 powerful. ZERO weak songs ever. I was luck enough to see him 7 times. 1st time on his very first tour, in SF. And right before he died. Just WOW

Jeff what Memories 7 times wow 👌, Stevie is without Doubt one of The Greatest Guitar Players of All Time, easily in The Top 3 with Technique and Flow and just Mesmerising note and rhythm playing , Eddie Van Halen is on That Level too and the other is anyone's own favourite 🎸🎸🎸💯 Stevie Ray Vaughan Was a Musical Genius

Back in the 90’s I saw SRV live outdoors in Old Orchard Beach Maine. Got there early and got right in front of the stage. He came and played right in front of me for three solid hours. I was close enough to smell his cologne. Watching his hands and hearing the sounds come out of that Stratocaster was nothing short of miraculous. RIP Stevie, you are missed.

Stevie's tragic death in 1990 hit me hard... probably as hard as John Lennon's in 1980. He was an unparalleled talent... and if you can believe it, some critics thought his vocals were his weakness. I, like you, LOVE his voice... from the gut and genuine! His "In Step" album showed a lot of growth IMO... and then he was gone. Please react to another great tune from the album, "Tightrope".... it's awesome too!

If you are talking about his weakness, that's like saying Montana couldn't run. Nit picking.

Tightrope has one of Stevie's best solo's ever.

This whole album was written after Stevie Ray Vaughan was sober from alcohol and drugs and it shows his playing is just at another level on this album.

I was living in Austin from 1980-1986 and got to see him countless times. One of the best was one of the free Wednesday concerts at Auditorium Shores. I got there early and his sound check was better than a lot of concerts.

Bass player Tommy Shannon was Stevie's best friend and they got sober at the same time in the fall of 1986. Tommy played at Woodstock with Johnny Winter.

Anytime I see Stevie, I know it will be an awesome reaction. The man was the best. I thank God I got to see him live the year he left us so tragically. I got tears watching this.

Amazing ! Can't go wrong with SRV

Tin Pan Alley live at Montreux

SRV is my mom's favorite artist. I have the music for the first line of "Riviera Paradise" tattooed in a spiral around my forearm in her honor. My first concert was the 1991 Blues Fest in Dallas Texas with mom, and I've loved blues and southern rock ever since. What a great birthday present to receive. Thanks for bringing back some good times. Y'all are awesome, great reaction.

Such an enormous talent a true legend in his own time. Hard to believe he was gone at only 36.

Big talent from Texas! I went to the same high school he attended, many years after he left since he was 8 years older than me. However, we always claimed bragging rites! His music reached so many heights, even in death. Imagine what he would have accomplished if we was still here!

His "Riviera Paradise" and "Mary Had a Little Lamb" should be next up for you. Also check out a band called ARC Angels, they are made up of Double Trouble, Charlie Sexton, and Doyle Bramall Jr. You can easily hear the SRV influence on them. A couple to listen to are "Too many ways to fall" and "Sweet Nadine".

The final performance of Riviera Paradise at Alpine Valley hours before we lost him is like no other . You could almost feel with it that the Angels were about to call him home.

You can hear SVR guitar on David Bowie’s album Lets Dance. It was his biggest hit album, and Stevie played guitar on it.

Happy Birthday SRV!!!💞💞

His version of Voodoo Chile from that concert is epic

There is one more Stevie Ray Vaughan song you have to listen to its Tightrope.

SRV doing his thing yeah great Jay and Amber awesome guys love you guys enjoy yourselves it’s a great day for Stevie Ray Vaughan

I saw him in ‘80 at a small club in Huntington Beach called the Golden Bear and actually sat next to him backstage before the concert! Of course he was high…but that didn’t affect his performance! Ahh memories!!!

SRV 😎 Crossfire is outstanding. The Austin City Limits series of concerts are all fantastic to watch.

Saw SRV many times as i am from Dallas, Texas. Was fortunate to get to sit with him lots at a little club called Mother Blues. He was so great. RIP SRV.

He also used the heaviest string gauge. If you want your mind blown listen to Riviera Paradise of his live Austin City Limits.

This is one of my favorites by him

I saw the Who in the Cotton Bowl in Dallas in 1989. They were touring for the 20th anniversary of Tommy. The opening acts were the Fabulous Thunderbirds and Stevie Ray Vaughan. 5th row seats. What a concert. One of my fondest concert memories.

This was one of his that got a lot of radio play. What a talent.

Been a while since you did some SRV. I hope your next one will be the ultimate rock party anthem, "If the House is Rockin', Don't Bother Knockin'". It's a classic. I will ask y'all again to check out Joe Satriani, who names Jimi Hendrix and SRV as two of his biggest influences. I saw him in concert a week ago, and he's still AMAZING. Please react to "Surfing With the Alien", "Flying in A Blue Dream", "Dream Song", or "Ceremony". Joe is easily the greatest guitarist of all time that you have yet to react to.

I saw Joe Satriani in the Detroit area back in the late 80's(?--before 1992); was awesome! My personal favorite song of his is "Always With Me, Always With You". Another one they should check out is Steve Vai..."For The Love Of God" or "Bad Horsie".

An Absolute MUST HEAR/SEE,, Stevie Ray Vaughan "Couldn't Stand The Weather" (Official Music Video ONLY)...Put On Your Raincoats 🤪

Crossfire my favorite song by Stevie Ray Vaughan me and my best friend, had tickets to go see him a week after he got killed. A legend died truly sucked.

"Spoke too soon!" Yeah, and we knew what was coming!! How fun. Thanks, guys. You lift me up.

SRV's Austin City Limits LIVE version of "Mary Had A Little Lamb" is probably my personal favorite. Glad you're diggin on some SRV!

I always enjoy watching another fan-boy listening to the great Stevie Ray 👍 🙂😊🤣🥰

I know everyone has been saying this, but you HAVE to do "As my guitar gently weeps" with Prince, Tom Petty and others. The guitar playing is incredible...

When you hear the keyboards, the player is Reece Wynans. His first few albums Reece was not in Double Trouble, but I think he brought an extra dimension to SRV's on stage music.

SRV ( Tin Pan Alley) with Johnny Copeland....a Blues Song . Will blow your mind. I've been waiting for a year now...lol

Ive always said...when it comes to guitar there's Stevie....and there's everyone else.

My favorite SRV song is "Life By the Drop" it's a cover and came out on the album released after his death. It's fantastic. I never get tired of hearing it. It shows a different side and depth to his singing that's different than a lot of his other songs.

His first album, TEXAS FLOOD, MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB is still my favorite Stevie song.

LOVE Stevie Ray...🤗❤🎶🎸

SRV is beyond anything I've ever seen especially when he goes off and nobody really expecting it .

Stevie Ray Vaughn was NO JOKE!!!

Incredible, furious and mesmerizing. Saw him in 1985 in Harrisburg, PA on a warm summer evening. The crowd was pumped and Stevie Ray brought the goods! Sometime during the set, it started to rain while he was playing “Couldn’t Stand The Weather “. It was eerily reminiscent of the video of that tune, which had just been released. .. Gives me chills to this day.

This was my intro to SRV back in the day. I'd heard of him but this is the first thing I heard by him. It was fire!

That bass is down and dirty! SRV rules!

Got to see him twice, awesome concerts, once in McAllen and the other time in South Padre Island, you can't go wrong with his music.

I can’t tell you what greatness comes out of him and his guitar when you see him live!! Thank you god! Saw him live 1986! Awesome, awesome, awesome! My sister and I never sat down!! 😁😁😁

Love SRV. Miss him so much. 👍🙏🏼🔥

I once attended a church where the band did this song as the “special music” on Sunday morning. Let’s just say that they got my attention…!

I have that DVD from Austin City Limits it is one of the Best I have ever owned . I always love listening to his version of Mary had a Little Lamb on that DVD. I also watched this program when it aired on PBS

The live version of Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland should be on your list. It’s amazing.

My favorite of all!! Love my SRV!! Life Without You is my favorite. 🔥 More SRV please!

Oh, Jay, he was amazing to see in person. I feel so blessed that I saw him.

The absolute best. He was just amazing

Never wasted a note! That was Stevie.

Stevie is the GOAT! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻💙💙

Best guitarist ever!!!

Living in Dallas most of my life I saw Stevie play hundreds of times. We had so many great musicians to listen to, his brother Jimmy, Jack Morgan, Robin Sylar, Robert "Texas Slim" Sullivan, and "Bugs" Henderson. Of course there was Freddie King, "T-Bone" Walker before them and Doyle Bramhall II (who plays with Eric Clapton.) and current players in Dallas, Brian "Hash Brown" Callway, Perry Jones, Mike Morgan and "Buddy" Whittington and "Rocky" Athis, who played with the John Mayhall band.

To me it's that I'm watching GREATNESS!!!! U can't explain it but I recognize it when I c it. A true legend!!!

One of my favorite basslines to play... for 35 years lol!

At the 5:53 mark... After he does that pluck... He casually walks up to the mic and he starts singing right on beat At this moment you see a 100% master at his craft.

SRV was the best. Such an awesome performer. i had the wonderful opportunity to see him on his last tour, here in Sacramento with Jeff Beck. Two greats!!! When he died, I was crushed like so many others. Check out Texas Flood, Sky is Crying, Cold Shot. We lost him way too soon... RIP

GREAT!!! SRV played always in a super high standard,but I like specially to see him in a good health,singing with eyes opened,awaken and in total control after the hell he went through with the use of drugs.The lyrics of Crossfire and some other song of the same LP talk about this and show Stevie´s strength to get over

Yes, he makes it look easy, you’re like, I can do that!…Wrong!!. SRV is a guitar god and will always be. RIP.

I was fortunate to see Stevie at the Iowa State Fair in 1987 when he was clean and sober and I'm telling now the best concert I've ever seen. I saw Eric Clapton a month later that year and no offense to Eric, but it was no comparison. Stevie was so amazing. Never seen anything like him nor will I probably on this earth. God bless you Stevie Ray.

This was after he got sober and was enjoying life!! He had added Reece Wynans on keyboards and they were so very good!!! This is my favorite Austin City Limits!!!

SRV and Jeff Beck - Fire Meets Fury Tour. Dec 3rd 1989 at the Oakland Coliseum Arena. Two transcendent geniuses! Bonus, Carlos Santana joined them on stage for the encore! A night to remember.

I saw SRV perform 2 months before he died. It was mesmerizing.

The mutual "stank face" at 5:54 cracked me up! 😄👍

I was introduced to SRV's music by a friend from Canada, (RIP Mick) and have never looked back! Keep reacting to his music guys.

I think you would love “ Can’t Stand the Weather”….it is fire.

Another great musician who's life was cut short.

I remember the day the radio DJ on FM rock radio. Announced the tragic death off Stevie Ray Vaughn in 1990! I was in total shock! I was in total shock! Stevie was a blues guitarist. One of a kind. He has a brother also a musician. His name is Jimmy.

My fave Stevie Ray song!

Gotta say that SRV and BB King are probably the best ever on guitar at vibrato. The way they can make a single note sustain is nothing short of amazing. Would love to see you guys hit "One of these Days" by Pink Floyd on the Meddle album. Cheers....

His performance of Tightrope from this show is also fire.

Actually, Stevie's red guitar was named "Lenny." The one he's playing here was called both "Number One" and "First Wife"---just to clarify.

Great reaction guys! A couple more songs you could put on your SRV list are, "Tin Pan Alley" with Johnny Copeland, and "Life Without You" at the Capitol Theatre. Both are absolutely epic performances. Rock on!🤘😁

In My Book,, Anyone That Can Play/Back Up Someone Like Stevie,, Deserves Respect & Some Kind Of Award 🤪🎸

The best concert I ever went to. SRV, 15th row center in the Civic Center music hall. He was special. Very special. ☮🤎🎶

I’m sure others have pointed this out but that guitar is not “Lenny”, that one is his “First Wife” guitar. It was originally owned by Christopher Cross and Stevie picked it up in an Austin Music store. It’s definitely one of the all time iconic guitars.

If you want to see how well Stevie handled pressure look for smoothest guitar Switch. Flawless.

This is from his performance at Austin City Limits PBS TV show. He was clean and sober and may be his best performance.

Stevie Ray is a GOAT!

I got to know Stevie while I was in Austin at UT in the late 70s. He was playing someplace in Austin every night and was the first to ever play 7 nights a week. This was before any of the real fame. The last time I saw Stevie was at the Greek Theater in LA about 3 or 4 days before he passed away in the helicopter crash. I wonder what he would be playing now and what he would have created.

Never gave him a listen before because I thought he was Country. He really rocks.

Jay, SRV had a lot of friends but 2 in particular Jeff Haley and Colin James. SRV made their careers possible. Colin James started on SRV Tour in Texas as the opening act. Colin is an amazing Blues and Rock guitar player and singer. You have to take the opportunity to listen to "Just came back" or "Voodoo thing" or "Why d'you lie?". You will both be amazed.
