Indeed...moreover I love watching the reactions of fellow guitarists who’ve never seen SRV play. Initially maybe soul crushing (just like the rest of us) but they always become rabid fans like myself.

❤️❤️❤️ Hendrix made the guitar sing, Clapton made it cry, and Stevie Ray made it SCREAM! That guitar needed a cigarette after that!

This song was written by the great Jimi Hendrix, you should check him out too. He was one of Stevie Rays idols, and like Stevie one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

Jimi doesn’t even compare to Stevie. Many people say a cover can’t be greater than the original, and I strongly disagree. Every song of Jimi’s that Stevie has covered has blown Jimi’s out of the water.

I went in the ARMY in 87, I was hoping to catch an SRV concert before I went, but my friends car broke down on the way to the concert and we never made it. I got out in 1990 2 weeks later he passed away in that damn crash.

I saw SRV in Seattle when he opened for Ray Charles at a Festival for $7! We didn't know who Stevie was but omg! We were spent by the time he went off stage. Our minds blown! RIP SRV SWEET ANGEL 💞✌

After you've watched a few videos you'll soon realize Stevie Ray Vaughan is the GOAT. No one, absolutely no one plays the guitar better than he does! He loved the Blues and Jimi Hendrix and always honored them with his music!

I love watching people fall in love with Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble! And I’m writing this before the review. That’s how confident I am!

Welcome to the wonderful world of Stevie Ray Vaughan and when he plays live it is free style he never plays a song the same way twice he always changed something every time he plays it.

I was there! It was the only time I got to him. Yeaaaaa...you don’t don’t just watch Stevie Ray Vaughan... you EXPERIENCE Stevie Ray Vaughan. 😉

I’m so glad to see your generation experiencing the GOAT. I’m 60, got see SRV and double trouble in Seattle at the Paramount theatre in 1989. Best ever!

Oh, yes! Sweetie, if Voodoo Child did this to you, you MUST watch him do Texas Flood: the El Mocambo. Caution: your head may explode!

As a HUGE SRV fan, it makes me so happy to watch others react to and enjoy his talents. ❤️❤️

Again what you have just seen is one of the greatest guitar players ever Mr.Stevie Ray Vaughan who's been playing since 7 years old in the suburbs of Dallas Texas. Some described his playing as "A man on fire ." The gifted Stevies live shows are phenomenal, this man leaves everything on the stage. His influences who are legendary artist begins with his older brother legendary Jimmy Vaughan, B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, Jimmy Hendrix, and a multitude of others. The world mourned the untimely death of S.R.V but the artistry of his playing, the display of expression and the sheer love of the blues, will remain in our hearts and minds forever. The way he presented it to the world through his eyes and soul was the icing on the cake. RIP Stevie.

No lie, you’re probably the only one to say his last name right the first time lol. If you liked him you should check out Kenny Wayne Shepherds version from the Blues Cruise. He’s one of the best blues/rock guitarists today and he has been touring with SRVs drummer for years.

Yes YES. YEEEES

What they said. Stevie Ray, Texas Flood, Live at El Mocambo. Strap yourself in, you're going on a ride to greatness. I was fortunate enough to see him live... the man was a true master.

You just met Stevie. Been listening to him since the 1980's. Nobody like him. He left this world way too soon. Keep watching his vids. He plays better behind his back than most can do playing guitar in the front. Amazing musician.

I saw him in the late 80's at Wings Stadium in Kalamazoo, MI from the front row. I was in shock for days, but i had a big smile on my face!

One of the greatest electric guitarists of all time. Very distinctive style. Died in a chopper crash after a concert. The story goes that Eric Clapton gave up his seat to him because Stevie was in a bigger hurry to get to the airport. It was a tragic day. And another source of pain in Clapton’s life. Have you listened to “Tears in Heaven” by Eric Clapton? That’s a required song for you to cover! Keep it up, I love your channel.

Wilburn, I’ve posted some of your Stevie Ray Vaughan videos on Stevie Ray Vaughan fans FB groups. I hope it helps you. Love seeing you in awe, in appreciation of the music, all the feels on your face for SRV. I love seeing you smile with love through most of your videos of SRV. You’ve got a great smile! 😊

This was pretty restrained, actually, because it was a TV show (Austin City Limits). In regular shows he'd do it as the last encore, and it would take like 15 minutes with extended solos especially at the end. I saw him rip the whammy bar entirely off of Old #1 (the beatup guitar he's playing in this video) by accident, then just throw it in the audience. Also much love for Double Trouble, they were/are awesome. Some glorious s**t, man.

This is a Jimi Hendrix tune, and his version deserves a listen as well.

I’ve seen him blow out a string and replace it without missing a beat. This man was a master of the guitar and passed away way too soon. Love your reactions. Thanks for sharing.

100% agree my brother. No words need to be said. SRV will ALWAYS be the goat.🎸🐐😎🍻

I grew up in Oak Cliff with Stevie and Jimmie! So happy y'all are enjoying him now!!!

i LOOVVEEE that look on peoples face when they first realize how GREAT his playing was and the fact that he was playing and singing at the same time

Yea it's precious....the incredulity? They are a TRIO. Whipper and Tommy awesome. and Stevie FOR REAL.

Yea, he starts off like that 😁👌 He used _heavy_ strings...bent them like twine...and when the calluses tore off, he super glued them back on - fact! He was a helluva performer! Rest In Peace 31 yrs ... Thank you for the music

Oh yeah, there's another vid on KZread of him doing Voodoo Chile and he plays a bunch of it behind his back.

You got blown away by one of the greatest (best IMO) blues guitarists ever. RIP Stevie

So so glad you have finally discovered my “guy”. He was so very very special in that he could, back in the day and up to this moment, take me to another place; a peaceful place where I hope to meet him in person. He lived a hard life but his eternal gift was untouchable talent and a genuine love for others with whom he so graciously shared selfless kindness . He is for me irreplaceable. See you in the next life Voodoo Child.

There are things SRV could do on a guitar that NOBODY will be able to duplicate for a LONG time... he was one of the most naturally gifted artists that ever existed. Eric Clapton referred to SRV as an "open channel".

you just witnessed the GOAT

Every guitar Stevie touched screamed for mercy while he alternately caressed it like a lover and tortured it like an enemy.

I absolutely LOVE to watch guys listen to SRV the first time. BEST of all time.

Great! Another 8 to ten: Ten years after with I´m going home (Live)! ENJOY this incredible performance

He's just so so great!! It was a honor to have seen him once! The loss of Stevie was so huge!! I love your reaction..because it does make you speechless!👏👏👏👏🎶🎶🎶🎶🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Complete mastery of his instrument. A genius.

Always fun to see someone discover SRV for the first time...

Greatest guitarist EVER. SRV was a freaking wizard! There's a reason every great blues artist of the day wanted to collaborate with him. Genius.

You pronounced it right. I got to see him in a tiny bar in Lubbock, Texas before anybody had every heard of him. Even then, his raw talent just set him apart.

I remember the night he died. It tore me up. I wept. He wasn't just the greatest guitar player, he was a beautiful human being who loved everybody.

I vividly remember when I learned he had died in a helicopter accident after a show in Wisconsin. I lived in Dallas, and I went to run some errands on my lunch break. EVERY radio station I tuned in to was playing SRV songs. I thought WOW, how weird! Then a song ended and the DJ said that’s the late, great, one in a billion, SRV. I couldn’t believe it. All of Dallas (his hometown) was in mourning. His funeral was so packed with people, it stopped traffic on I-35. Just overwhelming disbelief and sadness. I can still feel it. Thank you for this.

Jimi Hendrix was many things. Shy, talented, humble, addicted, innovator, pioneer, and when it came to making comments about his or any other great guitar player of the day, as brutally honest about that as it came. In one of his final interviews with Great Britain's Melody Maker Magazine, Hendrix spoke candidly about how he felt himself, Johnny Winter, & Carlos Santana had all played strong sets at Woodstock, but went on to say of the 3+days of music that was played there, and I now quote, "nobody outplayed Alvin Lee of Ten Years After, and I mean nobody." Jimmy was always quick to heap praise on his fellow guitar gun slinger's, and were he alive to have bore witness, I think he would've been the first person to say that Stevie had taken his covers of Hendrix's Third Stone From The Sun, Little Wing, & Voodoo Chile' on a few stones further from the sun than he'd ever taken them before. That's not for a second a slight or knock at Hendrix's playing and ability, it's merely a compliment about how incredibly gifted Stevie Ray Vaughan really was on guitar.

I’m so glad you dig this Music the young generation needs this...real music, not a computer. This man is the reason I learned to play guitar 20 years ago. He and Carlos Santana helped me learn to play the guitar just like I’m ringin a bell. With nothing but humble intentions I play with this level of skill and I must admit it’s an adrenaline spiritual rush that is very hard to explain. The album cut is slower and more intensity of emotion. This version is for live concert energy...

This song is a cover of Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Child Slight Return", a shortened version of the song from Jimi's album "Electric Ladyland." Jimi's lyrics go: "If I don't see you no more in this world, see you in the next one and don't be late!" R.I.P. Jimi and Stevie

Best reaction out of all the reactions I’ve watched. Truthful. Honest.

You pronounced the last name correctly; now play Texas Flood, live at the El MaCombo.

Love your honesty and discernment, reaction. This was the norm back then ,guess t like everything we just took it for granted 😪, appreciate you going back in time, thankful I found u our, actually tried to sub twice! 🙏🎶💜

NAILED the name! GREAT JOB!

In the 80's we just dug his music. 20 + years later we realize what a god he was.

You nailed the last name. Stevie Ray was a Blues virtuoso. This is a cover of Jimi Hendrix classic. Great choice.

All of his live music is amazing. I believe the zenith of his live music is Live at El Mocambo. Texas Flood, Lenny, Riveria Paradise it's all fantastic. The blues were flowing thru him that night for sure.

You pronounced his last name correctly. Stevie is the BOMB!!!

Haha the first time I saw Stevie Ray live I was slack jawed just like you... 😂😉

You are watching the greatest blues guitarist of all time.

The bow at the end was priceless! Great reaction!

You got a great vibe bro. U seem like a genuine & good person. It's refreshing! Thanks! New sub

Great to start out on an eight to ten and you get Stevie Ray who'se a freakin 20

When the Great Bluesman from the Delta say, Hot Damn that boy can play, you know he was the best!!!

I sit back and watch these videos and just "Yup, ten seconds, then the head will start bobbing and they will feel the voodoo and I'll be grinning as big as they are". Much love, my dude.

When Stevie played, God spoke.

OMG..he is so missed..... what a great talent he really was.... and a beautiful soul....

Thank you for a real reaction

GOAT. Guitarist

Great reaction keep it up. I watched another person react to him and they said "his guitar gone need a cigarette after that!"

I love the fact you young ones are getting a taste of what life was like then and the ungodly talent of this man. I saw SRV once...I'm still not the same.

That was an original Jimi Hendrix tune that Stevie Ray Vaughan learned. He also uses 13 gauge guitar strings. That would rip the skin off most peoples fingers. He also never learned how to read sheet music on musical notes. He taught himself to play by ear starting as a child at age 7. He said he played damn near every day of his life listening to the jazz great and a lot of the black artist from the 50s and 60s.

I love SRV doing this song. But his originals, songs he wrote are just fantastic. The PBS station used to play videos with lyrics to highlight nouns, verbs, etc. One of the videos they used was Cold Shot. That was my introduction to Stevie Ray Vaughn. I was 13 and the song has just been released. 1983. Man, the 80s were great.

YES! The first reactor...reacter?...to understand the genius of SRV's transitions. Are you a musician? Seamless, they just go on and on building in the groove. Good job.

Yep phenomenal. This is a cover of Jimi Hendrix. His name is Stevie Ray Vaughn. It's not a band name. He's been playing since seven. Unfortunately taken too soon. Check out Texas Flood. So awesome. Just subscribed to you. Loved your reaction😊

Stevie Ray Vaughan (say "VAWN") and DOUBLE TROUBLE -- bassist Tommy Shannon, formerly with Johnny Winter, and Chris Layton on drums -- the group later expanded with a keyboardist, Reese Wynans. At any level, one of the top 10 tightest, most in-synch rock/blues trios/quartets on the face of the earth.

Yes the song starts like this but you will never hear Stevie play the same song the same way twice. Next you need to do Texas Flood on Shout Factory or at El Macambo.

First of all, this is a song written and originally released by Jimi Hendrix. Stevie LOVED Jimi Hendrix. He carried a polaroid of the man and his signature in his wallet for years. When interviewed, Stevie would often say that he could tell what Hendrix was thinking when he composed certain songs. There were times when Stevie felt that Hendrix was playing through him. You get a sense of that in Voodoo Chile (slight return). Good song to start with on SRV. Oh, another GREAT SRV song was one he did with his friend JOHNNY COPELAND at the Montreaux Jazz Festival in 1985. kzread.info/dash/bejne/c3uE2o-em9TAddI.html

He didn't even break out anything from his bag of tricks for this one. You have to check out "Texas Flood" live at the El Mocambo and "Life Without You" live at the Capital Theatre in Passaic, NJ. If this impressed you, those will melt your brain!

Stevie is by far the GOAT. He will blow your mind. Wait till u see him play behind his back

Very funny! Great reaction.

Yes guy, some times he swings around and when he's in front of the. Mike with the guitar on his back and he's playing it. 👍👍😍welcome to.his world.

He’s our Texas Pride and Joy!!!

you pronounced it perfectly. srv is the best of blues, his life was just cut tragically short at 35 right after getting sober. he died in a helicopter crash in Wisconsin in Aug of 1990.

I subscribed at 2:40...the music hadn't even started. Well done.

Awesome reaction bro...there are no words to describe him..next up Texas Flood live at El Mocambo 💯🔥...you won't regret it brother.👌

I been playing guitar since 94, so believe me when I say...this guy was a true master.... to all my guitarist peeps out there, random thing to notice but how smooth he changes pick up and volume and tone, just that in itself is phenomenal, the end of the first section before he sings...he must change pick up 5 or 6 times in about 10 seconds. perfectly part of his strum pattern
