That's the most smooth and seamless guitar switch ever. I didn't even know he had until I suddenly noticed his guitar was a different color . Incredible

SRV looking for that tooth he lost is classic. The GOAT!

Never had formal training and couldn't read or write music. His guitar was a natural extension of him. He is legend.

I used to play this song over and over after my husband died ❤️

Stevie speaking about apartheid in South Africa

An amazing blues original from this Capital Theater show is “Ain’t Gone n Give Up On Love” 😎

SRV always had "Formula One" guitar techs. That guitar change was a thing of beauty. Only the best for SRV and quite right.

Stevies soul was one with his guitar. Steel fingers. Talented beyond belief. He was the real deal. So glad we have these videos of him preforming. ❤❤❤❤

Plus the white guitar was built by the guy the song is about.

Thank you for the best reaction I have have ever seen.

We all know he’s the greatest guitarist but his voice is beautiful. He changed guitars in order to play the white Strat that Charlie built for him, since this is the song Stevie wrote for him after his death. After losing his tooth Stevie says “Thank you Charlie” then kisses that beautiful guitar at the end. What a tragedy for him to finally get sober and then to die such a horrible death. RIP❤️‍🩹 SRV🎸

Most live footage of this song he plays that white strat. Stevie had a name for all of his guitars such as No.1, Lenny, Scotch, and this one is Charlie. As a guitar studier, not player mind you, Charlie has a amazing signature sound of its own because of the lipstick pickups. It was built by a good friend of his named Charlie Wirz. Awesome song, always fun to watch.

When he played the guitar with his teeth, he lost a tooth! He never missed a beat. When he said thank you Charlie, he it was because Charlie came out and found the tooth for him.

He grew up down a few miles from me! I met him once because his niece was my first girlfriend. It was before i was old enough to know he was going to be THE GOAT! Dang, he's phenomenal!

Stevie Ray! HELL yes! One of my top ten all-time guitarists. I still miss you, SRV. DDR strikes again!

This is darn right amazing! The way he commands that guitar and his vocals are so bluesy! RIP Stevie!

The word is damn right Amazin'. He's my brother. ❤❤

I grew up a few towns over from the Capital Theater in the '70's. I saw so many great concerts there in my high school years. It's all gone now. I'm glad I was able to enjoy it during it's hay day! Tickets ranged from $8-$15.

Boy, he would have been only 67 now. Such a shame.

He didn’t just stand there and play, he put on a show. Great performance and reaction. Highly enjoyed this. Thanks

Long live SRV In our hearts! Im sure he and Jimmy are jamming in the clouds for all eternity.

I love seeing him perform. thanks for sharing. Really glad you get to see and hear him too. just imagine what could have been crafted...

He's literally crying-out to his friend with guitar he made for him.

Preach Stevie🎸🎸👏🏻

Daniel my son you have miss one of the greats he went home way too soon let me just say this I seen the man five times and each time you go see him you might walk you in a bad mood but when you walk out that show your spirit is so happy and you're flying high every time you go see this show the hair will go up in the back your neck and chills like shoot through you the consoling smile in your costly happy he's a true showman and a true true guitar great he definitely knows how to destroy that strapped to the max I miss him so much his last tour was with Jeff Beck saw the show for months later he gets in a helicopter leaving Clapton show wasn't supposed to even be in the chopper and they run into a mountain end of a beautiful beautiful Legend I miss this music so much and I even miss his brother out there playing with him keep jamming keep rocking keep melting into the music my friend be bless. Peace ✌

Yes! Life By the Drop next, please.

SRV ~ 🎸🐐 THE goat of all goats Guitar change, one-handed, backwards, behind the back, with his teeth (and lost a tooth), epic speech...he did it all and that's why he's the goat. Imho. Admittedly, music is subjective, so it stands to reason that who the goat is is also subjective. To me, Stevie is the goat, but to someone else, it's Jimi, Or EC, or EVH, or Angus, or Buckethead, or Zak, etc, etc. Bottom line; enjoy your goat as I will enjoy mine. 😉 🤘🎸🐐

Well stated Jack Scott. No argument with your logic at all. Stevie “felt” music just as much as he played it. He took it to an exponentially different level. Sad to imagine the heights he, and so many of the other greats, could have created had they not left us so soon. Glad I had the opportunity to witness a few of his performances.

Love this song. Oops, lost a tooth!

One of the lines of this song was actually included on his grave marker as a tribute to SRV because of what he shared with us through his music and demonstrated with a humble and selfless heart: "Thanks for all the love you passed our way."

Wish I could of saw the reaction live . For me ,thus sets the bar ,right up there with queen bohemian rhapsody, pink Floyd comfortably numb, eagles hotel California, lynyrd skynyrd, freebird,and the Allman Brothers.

He tried to re tune but he still wasn't satisfied. So he changed guitars. He has actually done this a lot during concerts usually because a string breaks. He was a fantastic brutal guitar player.

Stevie always played "Life Without You" with "Charley" the white strat named after Charley Wirs the man that gave him the guitar that the song is dedicated to. It's not clear why he started the song without Charley, but perhaps it was out of tune and that's what he was referring to when he mentioned having tuning problems. Perhaps they were on a schedule as the show was being recorded for video. Charley is a hardtail strat so it has less trouble staying in tune than a strat with a tremolo, but when you tune down a half step as Stevie did those new strings take a little longer to stretch to stay in tune. Anyway, just thinking out loud here.

@@robertjohnson1681 To clarify: Charley Wirz was SRV's guitar tech- & more-importantly- a major personal influence for Mr. Vaughan; right up there with his mentor: Albert King. Charley did indeed make that guitar for him, & Vaughan named it after Wirz & does use it when playing this song, which he dedicated to Mr. Wirz after his passing. It's a eulogy set to music.

Riviera Paradise Live

7:50 I've never seen this before. Preach it Stevie. Keep preaching that truth that we all desperately need to keep hearing. Love it.

I have no complaints about the inset video size. Keep doing what you're doing. BTW, I was lucky enough to see him three times. Such a great showman.

The first guitar was reddish I color or brown. Second guitar was white. He always used that guitar because he named it Charley after his friend Charley Wirz who was a mentor and helped Stevie in how he designed his guitars and who died of a heart attack. This guitar they both worked on. Stevie sobered up in the fall of 1986 at the same time as his bassist Tommy Shannon also his best friend. The country down south was South Africa during apartheid. Stevie after being sober would start by saying he thanked God he was well enough to be with everyone that night. Tommy Shannon always wanted people to know what a humble gentle generous soul he was even more than he wanted people to know him s a guitarist. Stevie helped bring many people to sobriety quietly. He was n amazing man.

I saw so many Great shows at the Capitol theater/ NJ (sadly gone now ) Queen ,Kansas , Genesis Renaissance ,Nektar ,Linda Ronstadt ,Pretenders ,Strawbs, The Knack

Rush in 87, Dead, but I wish I could have caught Eagles in 77! Ah well

I had a ticket to the Alpine Valley show, and wanted to see him sober and in full flight...and I had to work. The news came about the crash an hour before I left work, and those of us who were listening were sure it was Clapton who'd crashed, because who else was gonna helicopter out of the stadium. Truth be told, I'd rather it had been Clapton. Stevie left way too soon.

Watch again, and notice the color of the guitar when he starts… such feeling. I miss him.

If he'd lived 20 more years,he would've revolutionized JAZZ! Just check out "Lenny" from El Macombo!!!

The song was about the guy that built his guitars. He died,and Stevie wrote this song for him.

👏🙌‼️thanks for making my morning Daniel✌️💙 This is one of my favorite performances and never get tired of watching. He starts out with another guitar and tries tuning it but then looks for a switch. So when his tech came behind him they switched out and you never hear him miss a beat. Another song Stevie wrote that I love is "Ain't Gone 'N' Give Up On Love". My favorite version of that song is from this same performance. It is such a bluesy and soulful song. You will love it💙. Hopefully you will check it out one of these days🎶🎸🎶. I understand why you shrink the screen size but you used to collapse the top and bottom so only the video shows and not all the tabs and menus. It would help if you would collapse everything but the video. Thanks‼️

He changed to a new guitar early in performance.

Once he got sober, he would slip something of a sermon into the middle of his shows. When I saw him at Madison Square Garden, he went for a while.

Please do Willie the Wimp.

I'm sure others have said it already he tried to tune then they change out the guitar. Anytime I get someone to watch his I always want him to notice the guitar color

Gotta do "Tight rope" Austin City limits"

If you’re interested in what he can do that’s definitely different👉🏾react to ‘Lenny’.

SRV was all heart.

He changed guitar s

Stevie Ray Vaughn is the greatest blues guitarists ever. Let’s just say it. He had no formal training but an ear for the sound that only he could hear. Beautiful version. He had a problem with alcohol and quit drinking. He wrote an acoustic guitar song, “Life by the Drop” about his alcohol addiction. Please check this one out.

He changed guitars! Didn’t you notice?

He used jimi’s mic and equipment given to him by jimi’s mom and dad

Loses a tooth playing w his teeth .... Nvr misses a beat .... Rip SRV

He swapped guitars ,tuned during the song and broke his tooth.

You missed the guitar switch.

He broke a string.

🎶👍 For me the only question that can really be answered is "who is your favorite guitarist", not "who is the greatest guitarist". That topic will be debated forever always open to different opinions. Thanks for reacting to MY favorite guitarist. Different topic, some other reactors have been putting filters over the video and some not even showing the video. Whatever works is okay with me as most of us have either seen what you're viewing and know what's coming or can view it after if desired. Hope you venture into more of his work, and always do live viewings and maybe check out the studio stuff afterward. SRV "Mary Had A Little Lamb", yeah the nursery rhyme, live from Austin, is another to consider: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iYuJmMqpgK2tj8Y.html

.Changed to another guitar in the middle of the song

The only person that could have rivaled his playing would have been Prince 🙂
