Well said.

This version of "Mary Had a Little Lamb" was written by the legendary blues guitarist and singer Buddy Guy. Stevie and Double Trouble knocked it out of the park. Your next must-see is Stevie's version of "Little Wing" at the same El Mocambo performance.

Buddy Guy did this to show that he could. He passed it over to Stevie because he could do that too.

The best respected and selected him as the best of the best. Every genre that has a guitar has Stevie in their hall of heroes. Albert and B.B. King both loved him loudly! That chopper crash took a giant away from us!

I watched his chopper take off that night. It was 90 some degrees, humid, and soooooo foggy. The chopper disappeared into the fog, and 45 seconds later, Stevie and 4 others met Jesus. I still think Jesus wanted to hear Stevie and Jimi Hendrix play together. Selfish? Nope. If you accept, and believe, we all gonna be at that concert together! God doesn't make mistakes. Perfection is all part of Jesus plan!

I saw him two weeks before he passed when he was touring with Jeff Beck who is another excellent guitar player.. After Stevie Ray finished his part of the concert, he then brought Beck back out and they both just blew the place we were at in Tampa away for another hour plus putting on such a special show as if it was only for us alone.....:)

Classic SRV. He’s the standout blues player of all time. Rocking.

Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland at Montreux 1985... it's a master class in Texas Blues.

Great reaction! Stevie is awesome!🎸

I’m so glad to see the black brothers embrace some Stevie ray Vaughn I’ve been a fan for 30yrs I am white and 55yrs old and this shit still giv me chills. Love it bro.

He is a pure Legend and will always be regarded as one. I know he's immensely affected my life, my playing and the overall person I've become. He's been gone for 30 years and still the impact he's left is phenomenal...never ceases to amaze me 🎸🎸

Do a few more SRV songs. you won't regret it

You have to dance to Stevie. I did! I danced at his feet for the early years! Check out Buddy Guy! Like Angela said, Albert King, and Albert Collins. Sweet Stevie Ray. Shuffle!

Tommy Shannon is one of my favorite bassists. Love his work with Stevie. Mary Had a Little Lamb is one of my favorite bass lines of his. Also really like what he did on Little Wing.

I think it was BB King who said, "Stevie Ray is whitest black man I've ever known." Or words to that effect. I know he did say, "I've said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed."

Stevie & Jimi were the best ever. RIP to them both. Can't believe it'll be 30 years next month since Stevie died. God bless.

God dame he shredded that guitar I miss the solo rifts of back in the day

*SRV The Baddest Of The Bad!* RIP Stevie Ray

He was a student of blues.Albert King was his mentor. He started playing when he was 16,doing shows and still going to school. He grew up in Dallas and it was not the priviledged part of town. When he moved to Austin,he was in a bunch of bands but when he got on his own he took off. Died way too soon.RIP Stevie.

When Stevie passed away from the helicopter accident, I requested this song on Z-102 in Austin and they played it. It shows how he could take a simple song (Buddy Guy wrote this version) and express it like it was never expressed before. You have great taste in music! The other song I requested for Stevie's memory was "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by George Harrison. It's been 30 years since he passed, and his music has never been more alive!

Right! On!!! It pleases me to no end to see you joyfully groovin to S.R.V.

He has been known to play so long that his callouses were coming off and super glued them back on and kept playing. No lie.

This is why most everybody says he's greatest guitar player of all time. He can even turn children's songs into badass songs. Would love to see you do a reaction to Little Wing by Stevie Ray Vaughan no words need to be said in the song just listen to the guitar

One thing you need to know is this show was before he even recorded his first album (Texas Flood). They did a few shows along the way to pay for the trip to record Texas Flood. The one song you need to check out is Tin Pan Alley with Jonny Copeland. You can thank a few of us later for suggesting it.

None better other than Jimi Hendrix & SRV. They could play Rythm & Lead at same time. G.O.A.T.!!

Lovin' your SRV reactions. He is certainly the GOAT of blues guitarists, and is one of the five best overall guitarists of all time! I think you would enjoy hearing "You Better Leave My Girl Alone".

Not sure if you noticed or not, but when the song starts Stevie says "Mary had a little lamb, fleece black as coal" . Stevie always thought of himself as the black sheep of his family.

This is actually a Buddy Guy cover. Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble were one of the greatest modern day blues bands. Chris Layton is now the drummer for Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Reese Wynans (not in this video) is the current keyboard player for Joe Bonamassa, and bassist Tommy Shannon is mostly a studio musician now. All are top notch, legendary players in their own right. Great video, always looking forward to more reactions 👍

Love SRV, but hate this song.

Saw him live once 1986. St Paul mn Riverfest. On the waterfront of Mississippi. On a Summer night. As long as I live I will never forget it. He alost died of drug/ alcohol toxicity shortly after the show- needed a lengthy hospitalization. But He was still BRILLIANT. The kind of concert that makes you wanna stop having concerts because it can't be topped

@Van ...Stevie Ray sang "Mary had a little lamb; his fleece was black as coal, yeah...." The lamb in the original 1968 song by Buddy Guy, had "fur as white as snow," a description close to the words in poet Sarah Josepha Hale's original nursery rhyme from 1830, "fleece as white as snow." I think it was most appropriate of SRV, in his take on the song, to change the "white as snow" lamb to one with a "fleece as black as coal." Thank you, SRV. It's about time we were schooled to recognize that the gift of the blues was brought through the ranks of talented black bluesmen and blueswomen. Now, no matter what our color, "what a time" we all have enjoying this wonderful genre of music and the exceptional talents that have developed and shared it with us. Stevie Ray Vaughan certainly brought a revival of appreciation for the blues, so that many new listeners (of all races and ethnicities) can enjoy not only what SRV created or covered, but a whole history of talented artists who for so long had not received their due. Long live the blues!

Digging your reactions my friend, your funny, engaging and appreciate good music. I am so lucky that I got to see SRV live TWICE before he was killed. That day was a very sad day for me, all his fans and music in general.

Always with the good content brother...

"Scuttle Buttin'" and "Life By the Drop" by SRV.

Eyes closed n away he goes!! SRV the GOAT! Love ur dancing...how anyone can just sit like a zombie listening to such music is beyond me...unless in shock at his talent lolol 😂😍

Just loved the way Stevie sang...his fleece was black as coal !

Stevie saved that lambs life with that song lol

If you get a chance check out the next song on the first album, "Dirty Pool". Great song, and I always liked how "Mary Had a Little Lamb" ended and led into it.

This is Stevie Ray's version of Buddy Guy's brilliant adaptation of the nursery rhyme. SRV not only put his own funky feel into the song, he changed the lyrics, too. Buddy may have sung the lamb's fleece was "white as snow" like in the nursery rhyme.. but Stevie sings it as "his fleece was black as coal." Many people never notice.

There's no video of it, but his 30th Birthday concert at Carnegie Hall is an amazing CD. The blistering rendition of 'Scuttle Buttin' that he opens the show with will blow you away. Check it out.

AMEN!!! Saw this missed brilliant soul 3 times in concert & had tix to see him a 4th, but he tragically died a few weeks before the next concert. 😢 R.I.P. Stevie - we know you are jamming out with other greats we also lost here on earth! ❤

Saw Stevie a few times live. He was the master! Love your reactions to this. Made my day!

Stevie is my man. Great vid.

Glad your enjoying Stevie. It’s an amazing journey. Yes, definitely check out Little wing and Tin Pan Alley. Also Life without you, ain’t going to give up on love. And must check out Stevie and Albert King jamming. So good. They are all good. He was amazing Live. I wish we should still see him now.

Growing up in Texas he was the one that opened my heart to music All my fam ever played was country..

Buddy Guy wrote Mary Had A Little Lamb. Stevie covered it. This was a short version of the song.

One of my favorite joints from SRV

You're awesome brother, this reaction was great!!

BB King said while he played the blues in sentences, Stevie Ray Vaugh played the blues in paragraphs.

I love your reactions! There will never be another SRV! I’ve loved my fellow -Texan’s music for more years than I can count! Check out Stevie Ray and Jeff Healy - Look at Little Sister... of course, everything he does is amazing, but that’s a good one! 👍🏼👋

The GOAT. Soul brother indeed✊🏿

He was one of those rare, gifted musicians who was an extension of the instrument. The rhythm section was always in the pocket. Always cool to see young folk appreciate this.

You got hear Stevie Ray and Johnny Copeland Tin Pan Alley...Wow!!!

That was a lot of fun. Thank you my friend.

If you want to see more of this Great Man, there is a concert I think in Japan where they did a close up of his fingers and they were actually ripped apart and discoloured from his strings. Im sorry I dont remember which concert but any of his concerts were awesome and worth the listen!!!!

The crazy thing is, theres no bass player...all that funky movement, that walking bass line is all stevie ray.. playing one of the coolest guitar riffs ever

Greatest geeetarist in my generation and should be top-5 of all time.

You know Buddy Guy used to call Stevie his nephew and BB said he was the greatest he ever saw

Now check out SRV doing this song on Austin City Limits. Its even better.

Its Great to see you today Van is a different Man DT 2024

Stevie gonna get you in trouble man lol. Gettin all loud, and dancing with yourself 👍Respect

Ok. This reaction earned my sub! I would have been a good pupil if teacher would have played Mary Had A Little Lamb like that!
