I was an 18-year-old college freshman still settling into my first dorm room before classes even started when the news came. It was a crushing blow. My single greatest musical regret is never seeing him live - I thought I would have plenty of chances to catch him in concert, since he was clean and sober and healthier than he had ever been in his life. His loss hurts me more than any other musician that has been lost in my life - so cruelly ironic to die in a damn helicopter crash after giving up Crown Royal and cocaine for breakfast every morning. When I get to heaven, one of the first things I'm going to ask God is for the recordings of all the music we missed out on because He felt the need to take Stevie Ray from us when and how He did.

My mother was in love with him and his music. When I heard he had died, I had to call to make sure she was alright. I can only hope that when she died nine years later, she got to meet Stevie in the afterlife.

THE greatest guitarist ever

They did this sooo much faster than the studio version! The adrenaline was through the roof!

I saw SRV open for Robert Plant in 1988, and to this day it is one of the best performances I have ever seen. I count my blessings every day that I got to see this genius perform at the peak of his powers.

Wow i thought that was you at that show.

That's why Stevie liked small crowds .being close to the action makes you feel like your in the middle holding an instrument too.

This Album!!! This Song…busted car speakers and a speeding ticket. Memories! Thank you for more SRV,

The Greatest by far and not even close.

SRV’s talent was mind blowing. It never gets old watching these performances and I’ve seen them multiple times. He was just so damned great. Thanks La/Che for another excellent Saturday with Stevie. 🔥

I remember when he died such a tremendous loss !!!

He was on a whole other level after he got sober.

His incredibly fluid and lighting fast playing, young guitarists think he must have been playing with the lightest gauge strings, just the opposite, he played thick strings and had his string action set high, still blows my mind, how in the heck was he able to get such silky smooth licks, from piano strings, on a guitar? Dude could probably peel an orange with his left hand

His hands--like Jimi's hands--were very large, with strong fingers...He occasionally would actually tear off one of his fingernails, when attacking the guitar like he did!

Which is also what caused him to have super thick calluses that would start to or completely tear off...Stevie would just SuperGlue them back on & continue playing..Just a couple more of so many ways & reasons why Stevie was not only a G.O.A.T.,, But definitly a true bada** as well!!...R.I.P. Stevie 🙏🔥❤️🔥

You can only imagine what music he would have produced, and what level he would have gotten too..... If he hadn't left so early. Rock on SRV !!

The 2nd guitar he played, he called it "Scotch". The keyboard player, Reece Wyans is now playing with Joe Bonamassa.

We love that one.

Stevie’s solo after the keyboard solo is the most badass guitar solo ever - he was on FIRE!

Stevie loved his band like brothers. He was also very generous and split his earnings evenly with them. That's the kind of man he was. 🎸🎸🎸

SRV was without question one of the finest blues players;but let us not forget the band. They would be some stellar musicians there!

So happy to see SRV back on the channel..pLEASE check out Leave my lil girl alone from this same show❤❤❤

That man, good God, what a loss.

Riveria Paradise is another great Stevie Ray song that is sooooo good. Thanks, guys, for all the great music and hard work you put into your channel. Your views and commentary are greatly appreciated. Did you notice that SRV broke a string, when he left the stage for the guys to do solos he switched guitars.

Before playing with Stevie, bassist Tommy Shannon was a member of another Texas guitarist Johnny Winter's group.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how it's done!

One of my favorites! I miss him every day❤

SRV FOREVER!!!🥁☮☘

When ever I watch SRV I have a big smile on my face and when the song is over I get sad just thinking what if...

And a smooth guitar change through the band intro for SRV’s solo. Sublime.

What an incredible talent.So glad I saw him live a year before he passed. I cried that day. My favorite guitarist of all time.

I am convinced that’s there isn’t another great player that when they saw SRV wasn’t mesmerized by the force he played with and the almost open channel he was. Just a badass

Have you guys reacted to Albert King/ Stevie Ray Vaughan- Born Under A Bad Sign?

Every time I watch a SRV performing live, I have a small part of me that is waiting for 2 other guitarists to come out the bushes....SRV just fricking magic on the axe!

The F-ING GOAT!!!!!!!! SRV was AMAZING!!

Stevie was channeling as always. Some call it god or the universe but whatever it was it flowed through him to us in a spectacular and beautiful way. Every time I watch him live he gives me goosebumps and brings me joy. RIP Stevie, man you are so missed.

He was so damn great! Loved him and miss him!

That band is tight.

We all know that Stevie's fantastic but, you can't get by without noticing Tommy Shannon on bass. They are locked in together always.

Amazing talent.

I’ve seen it a thousand times and it never gets old. Love my Stevie!

I had the privilege to see SRV in 1986, with his brother Jimmy+ the Thunderbirds being his opening act. COULD NOT SIT DOWN!!! Once the music started, I was in the isle dancing through the whole concert! Stevie drives the vibe and takes you along with him ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Saw that too in Richmond, Virginia if I am thinking of the right concert.

The last song SRV performed before the helicopter crash was sweet home, Chicago, and Eric Clapton Buddy Guy Jimmy Vaughan and a couple more great blues performed this song and they all said that everyone could tell that SRV was special that night The guitar that he is playing in this video is like a 1959 finder stra and it was his favorite guitar A reporter asked him his first love and he said it was this guitar SRV said that this guitar talked for him not back to him like a woman

I saw SRV live outdoors in San Antonio back in the day. Eric Johnson (another awesome guitar player) opened up for him, then Eric came back for the last song or two with Stevie. It was so awesome! Dang man, I really miss SRV :(

"Don't forget about Reese!" You damn well better not. Y'all ought to dig on the version of "Cold Shot" from this same show for that very reason - it's the rare SRV song where somebody else besides him plays the best solo. Even if you know the tune, you need to see this performance of it if you haven't. One of my very favorite sounds in all of music is a Hammond organ in the hands of a man who knows what to do with it, and ooooooh--WEE does Reese Wynans know what to do with it. Good gracious. Have mercy. That solo doesn't just get him an invite to the barbecue, it gets him invited to play at church on Sunday - and I don't mean the Southern Baptist church. One of the baddest solos you will ever hear on any instrument, but especially the beloved Hammond B3 organ.

Reese was fortunate to play with two of the all time greatest guitarists when he went on to play with Joe Bonamassa.

It is the best way to start your day, SRV breakfast, coffee and a hike!! It would have been incredible to see him grow older but you have to appreciate the 35 yrs he was here. Legendary performance🎶🎵🎸🎼

Glad to see you guys again....SRV.... GOAT 🐐 thanks guys 👍💯

Raw, live music by human beings. Concept.

Like the gunslingers of yesteryear .. Stevie Ray brandishes his guitar the same as they did their Colt 45's. He was .. and STILL IS .. BAD ASS on guitar! Wonder how many noticed he had switched out guitars .. again?

Stevie could bring the funk man. I am sad for anyone that didn’t get to see him.

Imagine what he would have done. SRV was sooooo special. Rock on.

Go Laa, Go Chee. God blesses Stevie, then Stevie blessed us….

There are so many great players that I love and love to watch but there’s never been one that just blows me away and makes me watch like ARV did and still does. The sound, the power, passion, skill- just amazing - like a guitar Shaman.

G.O.A.T.

Always has been one of my favorite SRV songs

I know nothing about Stevie Ray but if that song is anything to go by Whooha! ⭐️😁

Stevie is the GOAT! Came from a working class family in Oak Cliff TX, his dad was a drinker with a temper. His older brother Jimmy started playing guitar by ear when Stevie was 8 or 9; Stevie got very excited and began self-teaching soon afterward. He idolized Hendrix and all the blues greats. The boys used music as an escape, played in local clubs and bands. Jimmy left home at 15 to pursue a music career, already considered among the best in TX. Austin had become a proving ground for young artists & after Jimmy settled there, Stevie dropped out of high school to join the scene, sleeping on pool tables or couch surfing while playing local blues clubs. At the famous club Antone's, he got to sit in with & earned the respect of the great Albert King, who remained a friend and mentor. Jimmy's band, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, was the hot ticket in Austin; but Stevie developed his own fan base locally and eventually formed Triple Threat, which pared down to Double Trouble. They picked up a manager, played venues around the country, then internationally. Jackson Browne offered them free recording time at his studio where they cut the tracks that eventually became their first album Texas Flood.(They sent him a horse as a thank-you gift!)David Bowie used Stevie on his China Girl album which caught immediate attention and catapulted Stevie's into celebrity status but he declined a world tour to remain with his band. Then Texas Flood was released and the rest is history. He and DT played with BB King, Albert Collins, Jeff Beck, and others. Stevie nearly died from cocaine addiction & booze, but got clean & sober at age 31 and his music hit new heights. The performance here was at Austin City Limits, 1989. In 1990 at age 35, Stevie played as a guest on Eric Clapton's tour and left via helicopter with members of Clapton's entourage, when they crashed into a ski hill and all on board died instantly. He's buried in Oak Cliff, and there's a memorial statue of Stevie in Zilker Park in Austin. Jimmy still plays and won a Grammy about 4 years ago. He also accepted Stevie's induction into the R&R Hall of Fame.

Maaaaann, I miss that guy!! Such a great talent. RIP Stevie.

Hands down my favorite SRV song!

Well that cheered me up today. Never get tired of watching some SRV and double trouble!

If ANYONE has NEVER seen the Official Music Video for this incredible track..I STRONGLY SUGGEST grabbing your raincoat & checking it out,, It is quite simply BADA**!! 🔥❤️🔥

I know you guys are famous and everything now. But I'd LOVE to hangout with the two of you and have some drinks!! I'm in the same boat as you guys were. Although I knew about SRV. What I didn't know was what kinda music he played. I just thought he was another Jimi Hendrix, who I didn't care to much for. At the time I was a Boogie Boys, UTFO, Whodini, Fat Boys, Run DMC, Kurtis Blow, Grandmaster Flash, Midnight Star kinda WHITE boy. Truly discovered SRV about the same time as you did. AND IT IS SOOOO F'N GOOD!!!! He is THE ABSOLUTE GREATEST OF ALL TIME, PERIOD. End of discussion!!! Now, if I can get you guys onto some Chris Stapleton.....WOW!!! Imagine for a minute that there was a musical artist with the vocal ability of Chris Stapleton and the guitar greatness of SRV......THE WORLD WOULD EXPLODE!!!

Many years ago, I (a stone-cold Hendrix fanatic!) was driving down the road, listening to the local FM Rock station in Seattle...Suddenly, they began to play a version of Voodoo child, that I had not heard before...I was sure that it was Jimi!...but the licks eventually began to tell me that this must be some sort of lost, alternate version of Jimi, playing his classic....and then, a voice began to sing the words...I freaked out!...What/who was this person, having the nerve, and talent, to sound so much like my hero?...When the DJ mentioned Stevie's name, I rushed out to buy his album!...I could not, (and sometimes even NOW), believe that this Texas white dude could duplicate so well, Jimi's licks, and even take a certain style to an even higher level than Hendrix? But I have to admit it...SRV was even more advanced, and every bit as talented as Hendrix was. I did some research recently, and found that Stevie took up guitar at age seven!...and he was not even discovered until he was 27 (the age Hendrix died!)...so, he had a certain advantage over Jimi, as Stevie got to put in 20 years of practice, before being discovered. Hendrix started on electric guitar at 15, and was discovered at age 23...So he hit his amazing peak of technique, after only 8 years of experience playing!...We can say that Jimi was a more "natural born" player than SRV...but then again, Stevie's staggeringly accurate technique was even more polished, even more facile than Jimi's, likely due to having those 20 years to hone his craft. Stevie was clearly the best Blues-based guitarist of his time, the 1980s...and Jimi "owned" that title, during shortened time, 1966-70. I think Stevie was indeed, overall the best ever, in that small, but powerful group of Blues-Rock players, most all of them owing a great debt to Jimi Hendrix, for showing the world what was possible with the electric guitar...SRV respected Jimi to the MAX!!!

Double Trouble didn’t stop after Stevie passed… check out “Arc Angels”. I saw SRV 3 times & Arc Angels 2 times. Good band! Great reaction brothers!

This was first one I heard from SRV.

Thanks guys! On your own time check out this song Live at Capitol Theater, they had time, where as Austin City Limits songs are shorter, cuz of TV time restraints. But the Live Capitol Theater performance the band gets to breath, and Reece years the colors of the keyboards! 😂..Any way thanks for making my days , better ones! Peace.

Nobody gives the credit to the bass player, drummer or the keyboard player except Stevie.

Man oh Man......SRV & DT..... PERFECTION

I believe that is the first time I've seen the drummer and bassist solo before

Before Double, they were Triple Threat with Lou Ann Barton on vocals. When Stevie would quit his job in bands, the leader often said, "Good! ". Not the normal response. But they knew he was not destined to play in someone else's bad.

This song was my introduction to my SRV addiction, saw the video for this song on MTV and immediately went to Musicland and bought the vinyl!

Yep. Same.

This was his return after getting clean and sober. Many countries him out saying he wouldn't have that fire anymore

Austin City Limits concert..great gig since he did his absolute best in his home state and Austin is where he started...Kudos out to Double Trouble too they always get over looked

Great choice! My very favorite SRV performance right there.

It should be a FEDERAL law that music icons can't fly in anything but clear, sunny weather...

I saw him live three times and it was absolute fire. It's hard to believe he's already been gone for so long. This just really brings it back to life.

One of my SRV favorites. So glad you guys got to experience the live version from Austin... what a fun band to hang with

''PRIDE & JOY'' and "LOOK AT LITTLE SISTER".....!!!!

Hitting like before the video comes up! I know this is good as I’ve been a listener and fan of SRV since I was a kid. Saw him a few times great showman and even better guitarist!!

Just as amazing as it was when it came out

I think it is one of his top 3 songs….Saw Reece Waters with Joe Bonamassa last year,who he is with now,and he still kills it.

Fun fact: SRV would Super Glue the callouses on his fingers when they’d crack. Tough hands!

Can't wait to see them watch DVD react to SRV's Leave my little girl alone!

Does anybody today play that well? If there is please show us guys. Such a cool sound.

Tommy Shannon played bass with Johnny and Edgar winter also in that gig they played Tobacco Road and be careful with a fool ! He was younger !!!!!

For a really eye popping performance from Stevie Ray try Third Stone From The Sun at El Mocambo.

Hey guys SRV's band started out with him, a bassist and drummer. SRV and 2 others(double trouble).

He was performing at Alpine Valley in Elkhorn Wisconsin with Eric Clapton and Robert Cray I believe with the next show in Chicago. After the show it was very cloudy with low visibility and was recommended that they NOT fly the helicopter that night and drive to Chicago. Stevie decided to take a chance and the helicopter chrashed into a hillside and died. Very very sad ending to a tremendous talent...

💯 here for all SRV❤️

Yeah Tommy Shannon the bass player, had been playing a whole lotta years with Johnny Winters by the time he hooked up with Stevie Ray. So yeah you could say he was a seasoned musician by that time. Also Reese Wyman's had previously played with Carole King in the 70s with none other than Eric Johnson at 17 years old cutting his chops. Just a little bit of trivia for you.

Bought this way back when on VHS and then later on DVD. Great 2 part DVD. The first half from 1983 I believe, when he was thick in the middle of scotch and coke (not the kind you drink) addiction. The second half was from 1989 in which he had sobered up and looked much healthier. Sadly he died the next year. Both great shows. Edit: After SRV’s death the bass player Tommy Shannon and drummer Chris Layton joined Doyle Bramhall II and Charlie Sexton to form the Arc Angels. They put out only one album as far as I know in 1991 which was fantastic. Every song a banger. And Doyle and Charlie also put out some really great solo albums as well. Double Trouble also put out an album in 2001 called Been a Long Time. Most of this band plus the Arc Angels guys and a plethora of guest artists that reads like an all star team. Susan Tedeschi who does a great rendition of Led Zeppelin’s Rock & Roll. As well as Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Jonny Lang, Dr. John, Willie Nelson and many others. My favorite tracks include Cry Sky and Skyscraper and In The Garden with Tedeschi on lead vocals again.

Spectacular! Funky! ❤

Tommy Shannon the bass player , He performed at Woodstock from what I have read!! 🎸🔥🐐

I just noticed that Stevie switched guitars during the drum solo. Oh, you noticed it too.

Im so glad yall are doing another reaction to SRV. I really enjoyed your commentary on the other ones. Please do SRV and Jeff Healy "Little sister" its mind blowing

WHAT A GREAT BAND, the guy's on keyboards, bass, drums were great and the guy on guitar not shabby either!

I highly recommend you watch SRV with Jeff Healey who he discovered. Another great talent who left us too soon.

The spirit of Jimi went into SRV and Stevie ran with it. SRV’s technical prowess unmatched What a groove this was

LEGEND!!!!!!!!
