After 25 years of watching this performance (had it on VHS back in the day) it still blows me to pieces. Everything is impossible, he can teleport his hand up and down the fretboard with no lag in time, and play a million variations on that pentatonic scale at bionic speed with NO MISTAKES. NO loss in quality when playing behind the back. No resting, no backing off from the intensity, always keeping you in suspense, and just destroying it in every way. Perfect blues singing just make it even more impossible.

I NEED TO KNOW am I the only one that has watched Mr. Video's, SRV's Texas Flood reaction no less then 100× it puts me in a good mood!

There isn't anyone coming close to Stevie Ray‼️. Period. The very first time I ever saw and heard Stevie play that guitar I said to myself that is the most intimate relationship between a man his guitar that I had ever seen. In the first 30 seconds my first impression. The guitar he was playing he calls his first wife. He was bonded like glue to this particular one. He said she screamed for me not at me. He was an open channel that music flowed through. We all still miss him very much.

Albert King said to Stevie " there's alot guitar players out here that play fast but don't have no soul......but you got em both....."

His eyes are closed, cuz he don't need to see the guitar to know where he's at.. the guitar was really SRV, and the body we see, an extension of the guitar named SRV. The guy could not read or write music, he played EVERYTHING by ear, which is why he never played the same song exactly the same way twice, he felt the moment, and put it in music for the whole world to hear.

He flipped it around his back but never missed a beat

Thank God this performance was caught on videotape. I had never seen this before either until now. Phenomenal!

I don't often listen to Stevie Ray Vaughan, but when I do, so do my neighbors.

One story I enjoyed is one of my moms friends who was a bouncer/doorman at a club in Austin back in them days before his fame. Said Stevie Ray after a show when everyone was gone before closing, he was sitting on the edge of the stage playing his guitar, cigarette in mouth and beer to his side. He told me that man could f××ing play. Also was one of the most coolest down to earth guys you could ever meet. R.I.P. SRV.

Pardon me but Stevie Ray as ferocious as he is on stage was a gentle sweet man off stage. Made his band wait on bus while he signed every single autograph. He was drinking at 7 drugging early. became clean and sober in fall of 1986 and went to AA meetings with some recovering band members including Tomy Shannon base player and his best friend. Please listen to Life Without You written for friend and mentor Charley Wirz. He designed with Stevie a white guitat that was named after Charley who died of a Heart attack. He uses that guitar for that song only. There's another surprise in it. I cry every time I hear it. As much as I love the guitarist I love yhe man much more.

You can't just watch SRV without feeling what's inside of SRV. No matter how much you think you're prepared you'll always go a little higher. Its like a musical orgasm.

Stevie used to REGULARLY play his guitar behind his back, like it was no big deal. That's one of the reasons why this man is a master of his instrument. Eric Clapton once said that Stevie was a "conduit of the blues," and that "the blues flowed through him. " Eric Clapton is no slouch in the blues department, so this is high praise. I loved watching your mind get blown. Keep up the brilliance. -

this is why I like to play music. I'm nowhere in the SRV league, but on occasion - I do find myself in that 'dream zone' while playing where you just lose yourself and become one with the guitar. It's a rare and unusual feeling, near indescribable.....wish everyone could feel that on occasion, and when watching SRV - you can see it happening (RIP SRV!)

"Fuckin' this guitar" has got to be one of my favorite descriptions ever

"I took music theory for one year in high school and flunked all but one six-week period," he confides. "That's because I couldn't read music and the rest of the class was already eight or nine years into it. The teacher would sit down and hit a ten-fingered chord on the piano and you had to write all the notes down in about ten seconds. I just couldn't do it. It was more like math to me.” He adds, “A lot of the songs I write now … I don’t even know what key they're in. I have to ask somebody to find out. I can play it, I just can't name it. Jazz changes and all. But I don't know the names of what it is I’m doing.” ---SRV

@John English me too!! I’m on North Padre Island.

Hands down the best blues performance I've ever seen...

My friend I think just watched you go through every face a man can make watching and listening to this. Don’t feel alone I still get almost emotional over this performance even when it on repeat in my headphones at work. Such an amazing story is told in this.

Again, the truth. Stevie is the best that ever was. ...Peace - Jazz

Jazz man, thats a matter of opinion. BUT!! I agree he is better than Clapton but there is only one GGOAT (Guitar Great Of All Time). Mr James (Jimi) Hendrix. The first ever. In fact SRV was heavily influenced by Mr Hendrix' guitar sins. Yes! guitar sin's. Jimis guitar skills were so SINFUL. SRV is with Jimi doing the Heaven circuit right now. Damned to eternal concerts in heaven. I can see them both jamming. All the other guitar players in heaven are in the audience coz they arent allowed to play in the presence of these two God's.

“Matthew, all y’all! Stevie’s playing out here again!” 😅 It’s Brilliant!

To hear the song my uncle wrote almost 70 years ago still being loved today is mind blowing.

Stevie played from that place that bears truth, Where feelings are not only born but nurtured before being unleashed to the world. Never again will anyone touch his level...

GOD sent SRV to Earth to show what could be done... Then took him back. "Now, yall figure it out." ... GOD

If you went to see them in a venue from the early days, he'd just saddle up to the bar next to you like he was just one of the boys, and he was. He did that to me, and all I could say is WOW. That was an amazing set. He'd just laugh and say something, come on back tomorrow night when we get warmed up and laugh. BTW, they used to have a main singer for a while because Stevie didn't think he could sing well enough for the stage.

He was sweet, a bit shy, met him at a cafe in Austin, he invited me to see him play. He got my drinks and a cab home that night. He flirted a lot with me. ( I should have went home with him but oh no I had to be faithful to my then bf..lol) Saw him again years later at Fitzgerald's in Houston.. I forgot about him Then many years later bought his CD texas flood , it took awhile to realize that was the same shy Stevie Ray I met back in my youth. I looked him up online and found he had died.. I cried my eyes out.. Now almost everytime I see this video of texas flood I hold back tears. RIP Stevie Ray

You had the perfect response. It's surprising, jawdropping, stunning, leaves you speechless, makes you laugh in amazement, inspires you and makes you yearn for more. Welcome to the world of Stevie Ray Vaughan, my friend. You have just entered into a while new world, just make sure your speakers can handle it. I've been here for 33 years and I still tear up sometimes. Remember, if the the house is a rockin don't bother knockin, come on in.

I’ll have to check that out. Haven’t seen it.

_"Y'all should have made sure I was strapped in."_ After three years this remains one of my top favorite reactions to this performance.

I have not laughed this hard in a while. Awesome.

Lucky enough to see this man live at the "Gorge in George" just before he passed. Devastated when he died. I knew that day what all the rock fans of my parent's generation felt when Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, and Ritchie Valens died. I always felt like SRV was the Achilles (Greek Hero) of the blues. It was like the gods had given him the option to live a long normal life but in obscurity or a short one but be greater than anyone else ever. And he chose to be great. Sadly with his passing a huge resurgence in blues-rock stalled and died. He was driving the rebirth in the genre that was crossing lines and influencing producers and performers around the world and dragging other great blues guitarists along for the ride. Gone way too soon.

Ahhhh, the Gorge. Went to a few concerts there in the 90s. My brother worked there one summer. - Don Henley in 91, if I remember correctly - Pearl Jam, Blind Melon & Neil Young in 93 - Stone Temple Pilots & Lollapalooza in 94 - Boston and Santana in 95 - Dave Matthews & James Taylor in 96 - Lynyrd Skynyrd in 97 - Aerosmith in 2001

socket_error I was there too! It was the best!!

Stevie's grandpa was a sharecropper, his dad was an alcoholic who beat him, and he dropped out of high school to play guitar like his big brother, who himself hung out with Jimmie Hendrix. Stevie Ray was white, Black and all blues.

I've heard of Stevie Ray Vaughan. But its my first time hearing him. And he is definitely gifted. Like Prince said "Real music by real musicians." This definitely qualifies this is coming from his soul.

That is very true my friend . ." He was only sent here for a little while to show you what blues excellence was ...... man'

I'm not saying Stevie Ray Vaughan is the greatest guitarist ever. What I'm saying is whoever's #2 has a lot of catching up to do! Mr. Video, your reaction was fucking awesome!!!! When Stevie went behind the back with his guitar, your voice went about 2 octaves higher and you looked like a school girl who got felt up for the first time at the prom, LOL!! Fear not my friend, everyone posting comments on here has been felt up by Stevie too at one time or another!

Back in the 80's, a friend and me went to a festival at the Houston Astrodome featuring the band "The Who" with Stevie Ray opening...well he played twice that day... once in the parking lot stage outside then inside the Dome that night.....priceless...only time I was able to see him...... problem was.....we dropped acid that day and....lol, I remember, but bits and pieces 😂😜ahhh...the fun times of yesteryear!
