I still cry about it. Nothing hit me harder than his passing. I knew this helicopter pilot 10 years later. He told him he couldn't fly because of weather and Stevie grabbed Clapton's chopper to head to the airport, the rest is history.

So true. The evil that we have walking the Earth today, then SRV taken like that, so young and at the very top of his game, beyond cruel, not just a GENIUS, but a very humble Man too. 30 yrs or 30 days, I'll never get over it. When this world nightmare is over, I will leave London UK, fly to Austin to visit Stevie's statue, then onto Dallas to pay my respects to the Man himself. Peace to you Brother x

It really was a crime. The pilot was inexperienced and flew in crappy weather at night. It was a very bad decision on the part of probably a handful of people.

Greatest guitarist ever.

He was NOT of this world.

That beautiful song chokes me up Everytime! There's no one better in my opinion. He makes the guitar cry, and makes it feel emotion. That is genius, and it was a pleasure to just listen to this legendary man Mr Stevie Ray Vaughn!

I shed tears every time I hear this song...his message about propping people up instead of putting them down, shows you his humanity towards all people...saw him in 87...we were awestruck...he will always be my GOAT...

You should consider yourself a very lucky man to have seen this legend perform 🙏🏼 I wonder what he would think of today’s blues artist as well

From the moment SRV went into his solo he was basically taking us to Church, because only god could do what he did with that guitar.

SRV was my favorite, I remember when he died...it was terrible, and I truly would have loved to see what he would have done. I miss you....

Yes there was one but there will be another one after SRV like there was one after Jimi. And on and on. That's what hope is. The art...any art, never dies. Ever. Somewhere out there, pick a subject, skill, art....there is someone out there that eats sleeps and lives it and god puts his touch on them on 'wallah'... magic.

He was beautiful man I miss him.SRV. RIP🙏🏼

He broke his tooth on a guitar solo. Lifetime mic drop. God bless this man. RIP SRV

Master of his craft, no one put the feeling into their music the way he did. God Rest Your Soul SRV!

It's something that just takes over you when Stevie Ray Vaughan sings those Soulful songs and I can see it in your eyes it just takes you over and transport you somewhere else somewhere that your mind remembers beautiful things

To me this was by far your best reaction out of all the one's I've seen.

This has always been one of my favorite SRV songs. Another simple, but powerful song by Stevie is Life By the Drop.

I saw him play this on his last tour. I think he closed with it then, and he’d gave this little speech at the end, like in this video. It was different than this one, I remember it was mostly about his recovery from addiction. The one thing he said then that’s stuck with me was, “the people that really need you, they need you NOW, not some time later.” It felt really sincere, like he wanted to connect more personally with the audience... which was huge.

Never ever be a guitar aficionado that can actually make me tear up like SRV. One of a kind performer. Gave his heart and soul. Love him like he loved the world. Wish he was still here. And I really respect you for feeling his music and understanding what he was trying to convey through it.

My mother has terminal cancer and this song just hits me right in the feels every time. I bawl like a baby every time.

There is one thing that everyone knows about a great guitarist; just play a few seconds of their playing, any song, and instantly you know who it is. That is the ultimate testimate to all of the current, former and deceased guitarists. And when Stevie straightened himself out his playing took a big leap forward. I will miss him and its now 31+years he's gone but I listen to his music every couple of days every week.

Linda SRV!!!!!. es el mejor de todos sin dudas!!!!!!.

I saw him once in 1983 in Dallas. I don't know how to explain it, it was like maybe God was channeling blues through him. I've see 200 concerts and that sticks out as the greatest performance ever.

Stevie Ray Vaughan man. REST IN POWER

Here I am, 57, standing in the bathroom at 02:30 crying about a guitarist who died 30 plus years ago, because I couldn't sleep and decided to watch your reaction video. Sometimes you make me sooooooo mad. But I still love you and I'm glad you've become a fan of SRV...THE GOAT!

SRV brought people of all walks of life with only one message-love one another and treat each other kindly and stop hating. I saw his last show here in Wisconsin at Alpine Valley and as I write this I'm getting goosebumps! You got a subscribe! Keep the love going!

Nice!!!!!...Bringin the SRV!!!!!...Man was a guitar wizard

I’m crying so beautiful in everyway

How many people noticed that he switched out his guitar in mid song? He started out with his regular guitar, the worn and faded Fender Stratocaster he lovingly called his "First Wife." First Wife was originally painted with a dark "sunburst" finish, though he had worn much of that finish off though constant playing. He was clearly having a problem because he kept fiddling with one of the the tuning keys. At 2:20 he looks over at one of his people offstage to let him know he needed a backup guitar. At 2:30 we see the guy come up behind him and do something. When the camera cuts back out he's now playing a completely different white guitar. Stevie Ray was no stranger to guitar mishaps. His very aggressive playing style broke many strings throughout the years and he and his crew became masters at making seamless guitar swaps in mid song. There's a famous clip of him playing 'Look at Little Sister' on Austin City Limits when a string broke. On that occasion the camera was pulled back and you get to see the whole thing. He never missed a beat and the audience went wild over it. Definitely worth watching.

Stevie Ray Vaughan.........says it all....

SRV Baby! Caught him 5 times. Killer concerts.

You never really realize how good they are till they stop making music.

As HIS Friend It's Wonderful To See The Young People of today Witnessing the GREATNESS of This Man, It's Brings Tears To MY Heart, Thank you for being able TO SEE His Heart and Love,. May God Bless You In All,. True Respect Young Lady,....

God gave him an extra bolt of lightning in those fingers when he made Stevie RIP my Texas Brother .......

SRV is easily my favorite blues singer. And it's not close.

Oh...I think they did. And Gibson guitar. Rock and roll was invented, inadvertently, by Fender and Gibson etc. No electric guitar, no rock and roll. So that solves the 'who invented rock and roll' question. Technology invented rock and roll as it has invented everything.

His message, which is spot on, will never, now, be fulfilled

Stevie played the guitar like his life depended on it. His vocals were great too.

May his Music Live Forever RIP SRV

For sure. I think this song captured your mind. I could see it in your face. Love you. I think your GREAT. Keep it up.

I miss him so much.

He wrote this for his close friend Charley Wirz .. Charley worked on his guitars early in his career

Simply amazing, awesome playing, unsurpassed RIP SRV

Just completely otherworldly!!💖💖💖💖💖

He was the best guitar player to walk this planet

SRV last song, Sweet home Chicago. Absolute Genius. RIP

I cry my eyes out when I hear this tune every time. Lost a lot of people.

SRV wrote this song for his friend Charley Wirz, after his passing. Charley was the man who made & serviced SRV's guitars. The white guitar he plays during this song was custom-made for him. Fittingly, it's name is 'Charley'.

He had to change out guitars and didn’t even miss a beat, wouldn’t know he did it if not seeing it, no body like Stevie.

The greatest guitar player to have ever lived.

Always loved this one. We used to play this at a club I managed,to honor friends when we lost them.

He just captivates you.

You can’t witness this and say he is not the best ever! Bar none! Forget it! Damn!!!

I wish I was Stevie Ray. He was like a God. He was like a bad ass gunslinger. I saw him live, before he became so famous, I knew nothing about him. and he floored me. I bought a guitar the next day.

His music is timeless everything he touched was a masterpiece

One of the coolest things about Stevie is how he started out a nobody with these other two guys called Double Trouble. Once producers and record companies found out how good he was, everyone who was anyone came a calling with all kinds of big money offers. Most if them said he needs to ditch the other two guys. Said we can get you the top players ever to back you up, but you're going to be a bug star and you need a star backup band. He refused all offers that didn't include the other two guys. If that's not loyalty, i don't know what is. Hell, it was hard for him to play certain guest appearance sort of concerts that would be with a different band. The other two guys had to talk him into it and assure him it was alright. Yep, Stevie had great friends in his life, because he knew how to be a great friend. His band said how he was simply a kind sweet man. That's his real legacy. That should be everybody's goal for a legacy. RIP brother.

This is the only song on earth where you hear the Gospel, a guitar change in the middle of the song and a broken tooth during a solo.

"not just talent...it's genius". very well-put.

I've just started getting into Stevie Ray. I think the may be the greatest guitarist ever, but after hearing Texas Flood and Voodoo Child, I had the impression that his singing was just good enough, but not great. I'm blown away at how good of a singer he is here. All of a sudden, he may be my favorite vocalist also without the guitar.

If you weren't watching the video you'd swear that guitar was burnt the fuck up after he squeezed the last note out. He's channeling something I'm envious of...Very appreciative he shared it with us.

I actually work this show at the Capitol Theater in Passaic New Jersey I was a stage and you know setting up stuff but during the show I was standing on his side of the stage like 20 feet away I'll never forget that show rest in peace Stevie👐👐👐👐👐👐👐

Gets You right to your soul, doesn't it

He wrote it so he didn't change it,his guitar builder passed it about him he's playing the one he built for him.

Just dropped his pick but you would never know it.Stevie plays with a 12 gauge guitar amazing isn't it?love him from the first time I heard him.Thanks for sharing.😃

A legend died way way way to young. I Listened to Cold Shot, my dad say yea thats Stevie Ray. Oh right the greatest of all time. Just forgot to mention that. Good god

You get the full SRV experience with this one: Behind the back, playing without using his picking hand, picking with his teeth. The full experience in one song.

So glad we at least have awesome footage like this we can still experience his greatness. What a great performance that was! R.I.P SRV

My first show ever! 1985 Stevie, ZZ Top and RUN DMC! University of Hawaii stadium. I was 9.

Thank you for making srv legacy continue...this guy guitar is unreal he was such a legend ... survived from drugs and alcool and died in a stupid accident ! Rip SRV luv u 4 ever ...

Friend had an extra Tix to see The Fabulous Thunderbirds (Tough Enough) in Hawaii in 1985, so I went and it changed my life because Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble were fronting for them. Never heard of SVR before and even though I liked alot of different genre's, Reggae, (seen Bob Marley in 1979) punk, SKA New wave etc........I never really heard the Blues before. Our seats were in the back of the arena but when Stevie started playing, it was like it just touched me deep inside. I found myself with my arms literally, resting on the front of the stage, as I somehow floated to the front and next to speakers that were 25 feet high! Anyone thats seen Stevie, knows how LOUD he liked to play....haha That had never happened to me before or since! Since that day, I have seen as many of the old blues players (and current) as I could........ Jack Dupree, Ray Charles, Clarence Gatemouth Brown, BB King, Cat Courtney, Luther "guitar Jr." Johnson, Matt "guitar" Murphy, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, Walter Trout, Bonnie Raitt, and of course Jimmy Vaughn who was in the Fabulous Thunderbirds. Oh what a night..............I think Stevie was a gift to all of us and he somehow could channel music like noone has ever done. He was an open conduit as the music could endlessly flow thru him! I miss you Stevie so much. RIP my man
