I always felt like SRV was an open medium channeling music seamlessly and effortlessly like no other guitarist has ever done. His vocal was underrated. He died in 1990 at the age of 36 in a helicopter crash, and what more would he have given us had he lived? RIP SRV, TY for the music you left us. Some must listens: Pride and Joy, Leave My Little Girl Alone, Couldn’t Stand The Weather, Little Wing, Ain’t Gonna Give Up On Love, Blues At Sunrise (With Albert King). I enjoyed your reaction, TY.

Love SLF...I was 10 in 76...now maybe I didn't get the lyrics of the pistols and the clash at that age but God the sound...I knew this was my generational music...I was bopping about at the youth club to the likes of showaddywaddy and rubbettes...😮😂..but I was living with grandparents and they always had on chuck berry...jerry Lee.. little Richard...but SLF...when u think back they were young kids speaking out about a seriously volatile situation...alternative ulster just one of them...do bands like this exist anymore Alan..?..great reaction

Hey Alan! I enjoyed this video as well as the reaction to the folk band Elephant Revival’s cover (a personal favorite band of mind). Full disclosure- I’m also writing to you on a random post that I’m sure my mother won’t see 😉. My mother is the lovely HARRIET 😊 aka Stevie Ray Vaughn’s #1 fan- ever heard of the lady? 😂 Well, turns out she’s a big fan of yours! So …congrats you are in excellent company there! I am writing to see if you would consider doing a reaction video to one of her favorite SRV songs “Riviera Paradise”…she mentioned you haven’t done it yet and I know that she would be so delighted! It is her birthday coming up later this month (October 21) so I wanted to try and facilitate a birthday shoutout! 🎉 Think about it? Best to you from across the pond…thanks for always making my mom smile through the shared love of music. ❤

Thanks for a great reaction! In the end....and here I go....her gesture with her hand shows how the soul is leaving it's just spiritual

Actually, Rory Gallagher WAS AROUND in 1969. His band "Taste" was formed in 1966 and lasted until 1970. In November 1968, the band, along with Yes, opened at Cream's farewell concerts.

SRV - Riviera Paradise. Double Trouble spoke on the subject after SRV passed away to why he asked Reese to join the band, he just added an element that SRV felt the band needed, he was right.

Great reaction Alan...well i was sat watching thinking..who is singing...i knew it wasnt Roy...what a player Roy was...vocals were absolutely brilliant....put them together and omg what a song...never heard that before Alan so...thank u...thats gone straight in the playlist...loved that emotion...and your passion for music really comes across when u react...honest and straight from the heart....i like that...

“A tisket, a tasket, a green and yellow basket” are part of the nursery rhyme as I recall. Why a nursery rhyme? You’d have to ask Buddy, but Stevie usually picked songs he enjoyed playing, period!❤

Tommy did an advent calendar with songs from 1-24th december. Majestica got an xmas metal album, A Christmas carol. Based upon Charles Dickens book by the same name. 😀🇸🇪

Stick with me i😂

I know it wasn’t Roy stick with me in the video 😂😊

Always liked her, & own several cd's. Shame she became a recluse.

saw him live in Macroom 78; awesome and in my hometown all i really had to do was walk..(pardon the pun) in kilkenny hotel ,,so brilliant and for such a guitarist to play a relatively small venue,well done Rory...one of the greats.....

Majestica 🎸❤

Anyone that loves music needs to go down the Elephant Revival rabbit hole. They have at least 20 original songs that are amazing. Along with a must see cover of Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit!!

Janis Ian won a Grammy in 1975 for best pop vocal and beat out some of top vocalists at the time like, Olivia Newton Jon and Helen Reddy.

Keyboard player is Reese Wynans. Another song with a great keyboard solo and a great SRV solo is Riviera Paradise from this same Austin City Limits show. More of a jazz feel.

Love you Aurora reactions. I'm a fan of her music I seen Aurora 6 times in the states in 2022 in 2 weeks time . I have to asked where do you get your hat.

please listen to her cover of "Across The Universe", it's one of a kind~

Try One of These Days from album A Space in Time

Absolutely fantastic and also happy first day of October ❤😊

Steve Winwood is a tremendous talent whose voice has held up through the years. I never heard nor seen this but did see another performance during this time and it was also great..

Traffic song is up this next cycle 😊

Great reaction ❤

Nice one.

Yay!!! It is available for me now. Great reaction Alan, hauntingly beautiful song. How about her live performance on Iceland KEXP, it is a short show, but you could do one song at a time. Thanks.

Great reaction! I think this performance is insane -- one of her best ever. For a completely different side of Aurora, I think you'd really enjoy "All Is Soft Inside" from KEXP Iceland 2018.

I saw them 2x in gigs (Glasgow Apollo) but also at the Bear Park (where I worked). I met them back stage in the hospitality tent and they were really nice bunch of guys. So was Ian Gillan.

Great reaction👍 This is such an outstanding performance😍❤️ In an interview she said: “Her, she didn't want to be in this world anymore, and she knew that this man would do anything for her. She asks him to kill her and he said: 'OK, I love you, I would do anything for you.' After he killed her, he became sad because she didn't move anymore and he didn't understand where she went. He didn't understand why she left and he start crying. And it is sad, because for the rest of his life, he will not understand and he will be sad." In another interview, she said: "First of all, I have a really vivid imagination. You know that these things may be happening to someone right now. It's kind of a terrifying thought. I just had to get that thought out of my head - and that's why I wrote this song. But the two characters are actually just made up in my head. I've written many songs about them - maybe I'll make a book with them." Please continue this Aurora journey🙏😍 “Through the eyes of a child” live at Nidarosdomen 2017 + the stripped Vevo (acapella) I highly recommend both👍 “The Seed” official video + the live version at Vevo (a stripped down version)😍

She has said that the starting point for this song was a newspaper piece about a husband who had killed his wife to end her suffering rather than let nature take it's course. She often sings in the moment, the bound between her and the song disappears. You see her coming back to our world as the song ends.

Sometimes an artist comes along that’s so special,I’m moved beyond words,Genius ❤️

Saw him live a few times., amazing!

Aurora and Ren, two of my favorite artists. I enjoyed you reaction and I will check out more of your reactions. Thank you.

Love Aurora ❤

Abd this is Abaddonna responsible for this Aurora gig in Germany and many others in other countries but Abaddonna is not only a HistoryKeeper she is also a great artist in her own right and she's absolutely beautiful as you can see here kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6jOhZx4ptGBm6s kzbin.info/www/bejne/maq5aGOejrdobac Spread the Word sounds familiar? I'm some kind of "spreader" he he hava great Sunday and keep doing more Aurora she's the Best of the best

This just came out I mean it ended 20min ago a real opening çkzbin.info/www/bejne/oXWadmOafrR4hdk And let me tell you memorable, emotional and great great healthy fun Aurora is a Healer we've beeb blessed with her presence

I Was born in the 60's sorry to say I took their music for granted I have been on a journey of re discovery on how awesome these brothers were thank goodness for all the gems and documentaries they have left us and Barry who is still with us

Another super reaction Alan to a great song from a masterpiece of an album . Very happy to hear you mention the drumming of Steve Upton who i agree is absolutely fantastic . He & Martin Turner on bass are just so tight & the driving force behind the band . If you ever get the chance Alan do try & listen to The Pilgrim from their second album Pilgrimage .You wont be disappointed . Steves drumming & the various subtle changes in tempo are outstanding .As well as some fantastic guitar work as usual !! . Enjoy .

Excellent choice and is one of her most (among many) outstanding performances. To have that large audience to where you can hear a pin drop always amazes me and reflects the magnitude of the moment. I have watched this performance many times of the years and still is a gut punch everytime. And very much agree that Ren''s Violet's Tale falls within those tragic boundaries. I just love a song that can evoke feelings and Aurora is top of the bunch when it comes to this. I look forward to where your journey will take you next. Through the Eyes of Child live Vevo stripped is another outstanding performance!!!

I think there was always interest on SW's part in the English folk music sound. This has huge "John Barleycorn" (Traffic) feels.

My teory about this song: Aurora read/hear a story about a man killing his girlfriend/wife, and truly did it because he think that was the loving / mercyfull thing to do. It might be someone dying in pain, mercy killing. But I feel the song is about the strange thing that a human actually can love somebody so much that they are willing to kill them. I have not seen any place that Aurora say that is a true story as far as I can remember.

The song is about active euthanasia. A couple in Norway, she - fatally ill - asks her partner to put an end to it in order to save her from a tormenting death. After hesitation, he agrees and shoots her. She apparently counted down to make it easier for him. But (as far as I know) he was charged with murder and imprisoned. This was reported in the Norwegian press at the time and inspired Aurora to write the song at such a young age, it's a masterpiece. There is also a more opbeat studio version of the song, but in this version here the emotional hammer hits harder.

She is amazing and worth to checking more and more :). And yes this song just effect you and make you thing. And there are not so much lyrics in this one but still she managed to transmit so much. Thx for a reaction!

Notice how SRV changes some of the lyrics from what was in the nursery rhyme and what Buddy Guy sang. The lamb is no longer "white as snow"... but "black as coal." Tribute in general to black bluesmen and, of course, to Buddy Guy.

Not necessarily a nursery rhyme but White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane. Based on a book.

Uriah Heep hit with a lot of sounds you don't forget. I am happy I got to know Mick Box and still talk to him this very day.

IT's good that your musical journey found them so early. Time has sidelined them a little, but in their pomp they were a massive band and at a time when records shifted in their gazillions. Deservedly so. Masters of their craft in writing, playing and performing. These songs and their legacy stands up well even today as many YT reactions are proving. It is a joy to me to see them getting recognition on YT reaction channels. You must give the album 'There's The Rub' a listen. Also, given that you like analysing material as you experience it I would urge you to give British prog-metallers Threshold a listen. Theirs is a rabbit-hole you will enjoy disappearing down I think.
