"Stevie was an endless, open channel that music just poured out of. He made people who'd never touched a guitar in their life want to pick one up and start playing, and he made those of us who'd played live onstage with him before want to quit."..............Eric Clapton.

SRV - the king of blues rock.

No words. Except to think about what it takes to accomplish that. With a 3 piece band. He had a God given talent

That performance - on Austin City Limits - is the definitive version of that song, IMO. It even surpasses the original Hendrix rendition.

Was such a beautiful person and nobody plays like SRV could. What a huge heartbreaking loss.

Nasty, most talented 2 hands ever to hit the strings . The music world knows this to be true.

The appreciation and respect on your face is as strong as Stevie Rays talent. I was at his last performance in Wisconsin. Eric Clapton was the headliner. Stevie blew him out of the water.

Had the pleasure of seeing him a half dozen times, other than Jimi Hendrix, no one comes close when it comes to pure guitar skill.

Dear Polo, wonderful to see your reaction to this SRV performance and your respectful comments. Some stars burn more brightly in the sky. Stevie Ray left this world six weeks before his 36th birthday in 1990, so we didn’t get to hear his mature development as an artist; a huge loss to us all. He took the music further by literally channeling emotions into sound. Epic, indeed.

One of the most explosive openings ever. SRV guitar just explodes.

Stevie Ray Vaughan is without question and not taking anything away from any of the greats...the greatest blues guitarist that's EVER walked the planet, he has no equal, he's the Alexander, he's the Mike Tyson of guitarists. A tremendous talent without comparison.

STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN IS & ALWAYS WILL BE THE ULTIMATE MASTER!!!💜

forget brownie. forget lucille. #1 is the most legendary guitar ever created

Stevie Ray is so talented that it just surges thru his whole body like electricity. He has so much talent that there is no way he could have done anything else in life. He did not have a choice.

In my opinion. The greatest guitarist ever! Don't know why in all the lists he's not rated that way!

This is why I live for blues rock, blues guitar. Musicianship like this. Has been, is now and wil forever be my very favorite genre of music. I like all music but this is what moves my soul.

SRV is the blues. Nobody has matched his passion or heart

This man was on and from a different planet. So ahead of his time. Gone way to soon. Will never be replicated. So good

the mesmerized look all over your face is priceless!!!!!

THAT'S MY FAVORITE VERSION BY STEVIE EVER!!! HE JUST STANDS THERE AND PLAYS THE PUREST FORM OF GUITAR PLAYING PERIOD!! 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🔥🎸😍😁 JIMI🎸🔥🐐 WOULD BE PROUD!!

Stevie Ray Vaughn was made of Texas Blues. The music absolutely just erupted from him, and it seemed like it was never ending. It felt as though he could keep playing, and playing and playing, and the sounds would just never stop. I was living in Austin, Texas when I discovered his music, and when he died, it hit me like a ton of bricks. And even though Stevie could play incredibly fast and powerful licks, he could also make that guitar cry. I'd recommend listening to Little Wing, Life Without You and Riviera Paradise.

He said he was a mix of the original American masters and then learned new ways from English blues players like Clapton and Page and others and it made him drop any blues purist thing he had and just go with his own thing. I don't think a talent like that can be pinned down to any one place or influence or time. They just happen, sometimes in the most mundane places as well. He regarded himself lucky to get into blues music and then combine it with the English attitude of being firmly based in blues and old rock and roll, but still trying to make it new and fresh, and he did that better than them all, as even Clapton himself has many times said, and he showed the pinnacle of playing. Clapton was in awe of SRV when he was in the zone and couldn't believe what he was seeing. He loved it.

The amount of control he has for his instrument will never be replicated. There is a reason Hollywood Hulk Hogan paid to have this as his intro music.

That's the special thing about Stevie Ray. Every performance was unlike the one before or the next, but all were stellar. We're very proud of his legacy here in Texas. Thank you for loving him as much as we do. 👌

Stevie was just flat out THE coolest cat ever. Smooth, effortless and raw. Miss him a lot.

Gold......this guy makes me realize how far and away he is from anything a mere mortal could do...... absolutely incredible, wish he was still with us

Stevie was the best, hands down! I still listen to him all the time. Miss him immensely. Pure talent!❤

The one thing people fail to mention about SRV is that he was a incredible showman. The ultimate entertainer.

Not to many musicians can play a guitar with the precision that Stevie Ray Vaughan did he brought back what was missing for a long time to the blue's ,the music just seemed to flow out of him like pure light. Love all his music will forever be missed !!! 🎸🔥🤘💯..... 10:35

SRV… the GOAT!!!!

Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert King, and BB King.Red Rocks Colorado 1984 the best of the best I was so lucky to have been there to see it all

Masterful ! I have loved this guy for many years. Thanks for giving him a listen...this is truly God level playing.

Such talent. May his memory be a blessing.

This man has his soul in that instrument, like it is part of him. Brilliant! He uses very heavy strings because he bends them to the max. It was a great loss when he left this world.

I've seen this 100 times and still get goose bumps!! Why are these legends taken from us so soon !

This performance is amazing. Absolutely blows me away. This song takes me back to the very moment I heard for the first time. I can remember this moment as if it just happened. 🔥🔥🙌🏽

Same for me.

Thank you for not talking through or pausing too many times during your viewing. Great revue, and props to the band. Just observing your face told me how you felt, your comments, beautiful. Chris on drums was just on point and I would have thought I was in the jungle wondering where the village was. I think this may be my fave, I'll never tire of his Voodoo magic no matter how many times I see this. Stevie is the Witch Doctor. That song has got to be the greatest, even with so few words, that opening is infamous thanks to the first genius on guitar. Noticing how many comments say Jimi would be proud makes me happy. These two GOATS of different decades would have probably made an incredible connection. Ying Yang. RIP, you guys. ☮️

There have been maybe a handful of folks in SRV's league. Ever. I've seen this countless times and am still breathless every time.

This is how I showed my friend how good Stevie Ray was -- I played Stevie's version alongside Jimi's, and my friend couldn't tell them apart.

SRV will always be missed. RIP Stevie🙏

Yea, there ain’t no pause button when listening to SRV ! It’s such a energetic, nonstop pace and flow. Great review!

SRV was a neighbor of mine. He was next level! The world lost a gem! RIP. Thanks for reacting. God Bless Texas!

Jimmy Hendrix couldn't wish for a better tribute then that of Stevie. I am sure they playing in heaven together.

As a guitarist myself, this is by far my favorite performance of this cover.

I've yet to find a bad one tbh. Everyone is so different and brilliant in its own way. It's quite insane really. It makes you think most of this is probably just dreamed up on the fly, it's like channeling. I can't explain talent like this but it pushes me a lot closer to believing in a God if he can create a human with a gift like that.

I was working at a car dealership detailing cars when I heard he died. Broke my heart. I actually had to sit down for a minute. What talent he had. Sucks he's gone . Love your videos. Listen to Riviera Paridise. That's hands down, my favorite song of his. Absolutely beautiful song.

SRV will always be my favorite road music and ‘Voodoo Child’ is one of my favorites.

My favorite all around musician of all time. Would love to see your reaction to his studio/video version of Little Wing. It's one of those songs you don't hear, you feel it.

SRV used his whole body to play. That's passion!

STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN & DOUBLE TROUBLE were EPIC!!

I watched a Stevie Ray documentary that had so many blues legends talking about Stevie, BB King, Muddy Waters…. Clapton…. They were in awe of his guitar playing. Hendrix was awesome and Stevie Ray is something else!

This is a great cover of an awesome song by Jimi Hendrix and the experience

Polo, I still remember the day SRV perished. I was going to a bday party. Had to turn around and go home. Thanks for preserving his memory via a wonderful reaction.❤

I first saw SRV in the early '80's on the program Austin City Limits. My mouth flew open, I was stunned. Saw him 3 times, the last was 3 weeks before he died. He was sober, on point and on fire at that concert. My all-time favorite, agree with you Polo on his passion. His live performances were a religious experience.

Yeah, we don't say it enough: Double Trouble has been fantastic in every piece i've seen/heard them in. It's easy to lose sight of just how good they really are; who, onstage with Stevie, is not going to be subsumed by his wizardry? Thanks, Double Trouble, for holding it together artfully. Peace - PS First-timer, here. What a beautiful reaction. Really respectful. You won my subscription. Thanks -

Over time you can forget how impressive SRV was. Thanks for this one.

Love love love seeing SRV reactions. Listening to his music has literally helped shape me into the person I am today, no exaggeration. I can remember as far back as 2 or 3, listening to his genius with my family on trips to go camping. Or making it a family night watching his music videos on VHS. I did a report on him when I was a junior in high school and we played a few songs of his at my dad's funeral, including a song about him by arc angels. People like to debate whether or not his vocals were up to par comparatively. Well ... No, the man was a beast when it came to shredding on his guitar. But I can definitely tell who exactly it is as soon as he opens his mouth.

First here, first listen, wow ! Best guitarist and performer of maybe all times. Love you Polo

Absolutely no one speaks to my heart and soul like SRV❤️. I loved your reaction!

I was fortunate to see Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble in November 1989 when they toured with special guest Jeff Beck. This song was the highlight of the show for me. It was only 9 months before his tragic death. RIP legend.

A must see is "life without you "at the capital theater. A true legend! Srv will always be the goat.

I have been playing Voodoo Child for years and have never come close to replicating Stevie's performance. There is awe inspiring an infuriating genius to his playing. 🤘

As a kid my Mom always had Stevie jamming on the turntable. Eric Clapton, Traffic, and The Beatles to name a few. Love it all.

Everything you said is spot on. G.O.A.T. nothing will ever convince anyone is better!

Nobody has or ever will assault a guitar like SRV. I'm not talking mindless shredding. He truly feels his music on an unparralled level. When you have men like Albert King shake their head in amazement, you know this cat is other worldly. So glad I was alive during his playing career and we have his music forever. I urge you to react to Gary Moore doing a tribute to Jimi Hendrix playing a smoking rendition of Red House at the Fender Strat 50th concert. They have some HD versions on YT. Gary has left us, but his contributions are well respected. Many think he might be the most underrated axe player ever.

That was the best performance of that song he ever did. Clean, sober, and at the top of his game. That whole episode from Austin City Limits is mind blowing. I agree with you: there's talented then there's gifted. Stevie was gifted. He and the guitar were one. Fabulous musician and equally so as a human being. Gone way too soon. Check out Riviera Paradise. My favorite studio version.

Jimi Hendrix was the OG, and nobody could do what he did, until SRV came along. Both were taken way too soon. And maybe there was a reason but we will never know. I dont remember when Jimi died, but I will never forget when Stevie died. It was so sad because he had a very deep addiction to cocaine, but the last 6 months or so before he died, he cleaned up and beat it. I wasn't at his last show in Alpine Valley, but I have read that he was in another dimension. Clapton himself said that he stopped playing and watched in awe. And then hours later he was gone. RIP SRV! You are missed!

You just have to look and wonder, He was completely amazing!

SRV was just so incredible to watch he was just so captavating...just incredible.🌹⚔️

SRV revered Hendrix. His covers of Voodoo Child and Little Wing are as close to Hendrix as it will ever get. RIP Stevie

At the time of this performance, he had a couple years of sobriety under his belt. If you compare this to the El Mocambo club jperformance (when he was anything but clean and sober), to my ears this has more intensity and more focus. And he looks SO much better too.

Great review. SRV has to be in my top 5 concerts of my lifetime. Stood there completely captivated while they played. His early demise was a great loss for all.

Listening to him is amazing, but seeing it live is mind blowing. It's like he's flipping pancakes and doing his taxes at the same time as pounding those solos out 😵 And that bass is bonkers, I might love it as much as I love the solos.

His arms and wrist are absolutely fluid.

I can't believe people are just now realizing how amazing SRV is. He was my fave in the 80's to now!!! ❤❤❤❤

Love your reaction Videos Polo. This is one of my favorite SRV performances.

He is my mom's favorite and mine too. He was a guitar god and is under appreciated.

Greatness. Awesomeness. And never forget the the absolute amazing creativity of Jimi Hendrix.

Easily one of the greatest music moments ever recorded.

Always adored SRV, then met one of my BFF - went to stay with her in Austin, and in my guest room - look out, to the right, and there's the house he lived in!! Mind BLOWN!! She has told me so much about him, she worked in the industry and knew him well, knows Jimmy etc and a tonne of other music greats. She used to work at Antones, worked there for years so knew everyone.. RIP Stevie. Follow a lad call Scott McKeon who's played/toured with Doyle Bramhall Jr, Tom Jones, Eric Clapton who idolises SRV, Rory Gallagher etc and is well worth seeking out, very good musician

I think you should look up the KZread video of Stevie Ray in the studio with Albert King in 1983. They knew each other for a long, long time and Albert was one of Stevie's idols when he was learning his craft and you can see Albert was tickled to see just what Stevie Ray was evolving into. Both great guitarists and so much love and respect between them. You will like it.

Some musicians can show you talent and some show heart, this guy shows you it all and then some!

Thank you for doing this video! I’ve been a huge SRV fan for decades but I don’t think I’ve ever seen this specific performance. This was incredible, thanks again! RIP Stevie 🙏🏻

SRV is an absolute beast. Pretty sure Jimi would approve of his rendition. Fun story about artist making others songs their own...Bob Dylan basically ceded All Along the Watch Tower to Jimi because he made it his own.

It makes me happy you finally got to this amazing cover but I’m sad you’ve gone so many years without hearing it. SRV is a master blues man and a legend. This is one of my fav performances. 🤟🏼🔥

He’s unbelievable. Don’t know how one person gets so much different music out of one instrument all at the same time.

I can tell when you really love a piece is when you're just vibing into it and don't interrupt. Jimi was/is a legend and I'm one that has a hard time appreciating covers, but I can't imagine even Jimi feeling as if SRV's version was better than his original. SRV channels Jimi and other influences and then just infuses it into his own being of Texas Blues and Hard Rock to create something far greater than some of it's parts. He will not and cannot be duplicated or even mimiced.
