First Time Hearing Stevie Ray Vaughan Voodoo Child (El Mocambo) Reaction - MELTING OUR BRAINS AGAIN!

[@kimzwolinski9919]

It’s weird how enjoyable it is to watch people discover the music that I love. It’s the closest thing to hearing it again for the first time 😊❤

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Not weird at all! We've done the same! 😂

[@Tbirdhaynes]

I said very thing just a couple days ago!

[@mikefetterman6782]

Stevie said in an interview once, "I really have no idea what I am playing or what I will play, I can't read music, I have to get into a groove with the band, and then it just happens". The band follows him, and he follows the band. it is a circle.

Steve Ray Vaughn plays the guitar so incredibly well because his guitar is an appendage of this body.

And his SOUL!

OR... maybe Stevie is an appendage of the guitar!!??

[@craigmccuistian]

I think Eric Clapton said something to the effect of “Stevie Ray Vaughan inspires people who have never played an instrument to learn guitar. And he inspires guitar players to give up and find a different pursuit” :p

[@stephenodonnell8023]

Eric so overrated as Is Chris Stapleton

[@macarthur71]

Clapton gave him the best compliment I think another musician could ever give another musician and that was that SRV was a channel. 😮. In my mind, that means that there’s no distinction of where SRV ends and the guitar begins. It’s all one instrument channeling music. Pure musical genius.

[@reaver707]

I had the privilege of seeing SRV on tour with Jeff Beck when I was 16. Had never heard of him. As a young metalhead/guitar player I was completely unprepared. The experience changed my entire outlook on music. What an absolute legend.

See, the thing is, Stevie Ray cannot be compared to anyone. He was a natural born world shaker. A true phenom. We have a statue of him here in Texas, as he is a demi god here. Y'all should come visit and see it. Nobody meant any disrespect towards you or Chris Stapleton by defending Stevie Ray's honor and skills. He's very special to us, all of his fans. It's cool that y'all are discovering him, and appreciate him too. 👌🤠🥳🎸

Isn't Stevie Ray Texas' Favorite son ? Saw an image of the statue of Stevie 'holding' a yellow rose(of Texas). Touching. Love how his 'shadow' is playing guitar. Thank you Stevie, every day of my life. Peace.

[@acemodez3169]

If you watch any other performance of Voodoo Chile you will realize how much he improvises his play. Most popular version of Voodoo is Austin 89, 6 years after this performance, where he is clean and sober and hard to believe but a better player

The great Delta Blues man Muddy Waters once said about SRV: "He's the whitest black bluesman he'd ever heard!!!" High praise from a true Blues G.O.A.T. And this cover is the definitive one out there..Imagine if Stevie and Jimi had lived what type of music they'd be creating ✌️🤘🧐

Starting to be my favorite music reactors. You two get it, whatever the song is. The El Mocambo show is just fire. I wonder if the people in attendance were aware of just how lucky they were...? If you like SRV, I highly suggest Testify also from El Mocambo, it's just non-stop action from SRV. One of my favorites.

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Thank you! Really appreciate you saying as such - we're really enjoying the process!

[@RonNaeve]

Stevie has been on my top favorite's since 1982. I saw him at. Red Rocks in the summer of '83. Talk Talk opened, then SRV then Berlin. I was about 10 rows from the stage. fantastic show. he's greatly missed.

[@rickiovine2170]

Stevie Ray Vaughan. A guitar God. Is he the best ever? Some will put others in that discussion. But, no one will put anyone as being better. He has that rare sense that so few have ever had: “feel”. He can play a cover and remain true to that artists vision while at the same time being uniquely SRV. The immense, other worldly talent of a once in a lifetime artist. Take the opening. Just learn to play that. You will find it will take years to get it as good as Stevie (and Hendrix), if you can do it at all. And, that was only the intro!

[@bert0522]

I'm 69 and put Stevie, Jimi and Zappa on my list of greats. Jim

[@rickiovine2170]

If I am not wrong slash´s top hat it´s like a tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan as the end of the song Civil War (first song of the Use your Illusion album, track 1). Fun fact, Slash stole from a store the belt that he then put on that legendary top hat.

Big regret I never saw him play . Saw his brother play early in his career . Song was written/performed by Jimmie Hendrix . Hendrix was a guitar god . Even Clapton admired him . This was Stevie's tribute to him . If you want to hear some original blues try Muddy Waters to start . Saw him with Clapton in my first concert . Lucky sometimes in my life .

I grew up listening to Stevie and saw him on TV as a kid but is my fav blues singer and this is a great song like all of his but my opinion his best one is crossfire listen to it and watch his playing on the guitar and solo moment of playing bye far his best song to me I have all his DVDs and interviews of him and his brother and his brother was in a few of his videos bye the way and in one interview him and his brother play a double guitar while his brother stands behind him and leans over him to play at same time as stevie does it's awesome....

@CdnTrader1 Exactly...My Mt. Rushmore. Claypool, Geezer, Marcus Miller, Bootsy, Bill Chambers and a whole other whack of stand up bass players from the Jazz era and Billy Sheehan all are great truly awesomely great. But I grew up with Burton and I loved Trujillo with Suicidal Tendencies, Jaco is astonishing and Shannon is a stone killer. All part of my youth. Flea, Geddy Lee, David Eady and countless others are bassists I truly admire, but those 4 are guys where I first connected to the bass. Also, Tom Waits' long time bass player is awesome as is JJ Grey's bass player.

Everybody wonders why Hendrix set his guitar on fire that time. The reason he did that was, because he had just got back from the future in his time machine, where he witnessed this performance of Stevie doing his song! 😂

[@wbcc0817]

I love his studio version, but this rendition at El Mocambo is by far my favorite. Chris & Tommy were fluid with his playing, which is why they were so tight. They all worked so well with each other that it was practically perfection, and the El Mocambo show was evidence of this. I've been to Stevie's grave a few times over the last 6 years. It's so peaceful there that I don't want to leave. Touching his gravestone, you can still feel that energy that he had.

[@markhodge7]

Jimi Hendrix's most iconic song. When he played it live, you never knew where he'd take it. SRV takes it to another level. You would have to know Hendrix's full library to recognize how Stevie includes other Jimi rifts into his live performances. Power of Love at 10 minutes in. Stevie totally got Hendrix and the vibe he was presenting.

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

Can you begin to see how those of us who were Immersed in this music..,,,growing up in the 60’s and 70’s….when guitar was king of rock and the top guitar players were rock “gods”…….how much modern popular music genres like rap and hip-hop are just missing something? This sound that you just heard, that mesmerized you….that was so powerful, so “sexy” if you will, so charismatic……it’s just GONE in most current music. I like allot of 80’s music…and 90’s grunge (which brought back that heavy guitar sound)….but most popular music seems so insipid without all the power and depth of sound that these great players brought to us. This kind of music is still out there, but you have to look for it, it’s not mainstream. Back then, it was everywhere….It was what rock music WAS.

Greetings my friends. I really enjoy watching you both expand your musical horizon. Steavie Ray, Eddie Van Halen are so fun to watch. Their mastery of the guitar are truly unrivaled. And yet my friends there is another...a man by the name of Roy Clark. It is said that if it had strings he could play it. Multi instrument player. Violin/fiddle, guitar, bango and probably a barbed wire fence if he wanted to. Might I suggest Maleguena...live on network TV and you'll see even the actors are stunned. Dueling banjos live is a great one as well. He was very funny while being a wizard with the strings

You all have a cool style to your reactions, Stevie is the MAN undisputed - reaches out into another dimension and brings it back through himself into that old battered Strat (he called it "#1" and I can't speak for humanity at large but that is probably the most like, dream guitar for blues guitar players to have if you had one wish). It is safely with his older brother, primary role model, and also a Texas blues guitar legend, Jimmy Vaughan, right where it should be....other than in my living room...I have an "SRV Fender Strat" that is my love, so that's done fine for 3 decades, but you may see some other of his guitars in future videos but next time you see this one, the 1962 Fender Stratocaster that fits Stevie perfectly, take some pauses to really check it out - it has been through war and lived 100 lifetimes to be the vessel for his insane and beautiful music and skill - just like he had to live to get to be as good as this...they were meant for each other. Every video you hopefully gradually get to will just make you love him more and more - humble kind soul and the loss hurts deep down 30 years later. But, channels like this bringing him to a new world of people is to me is such a beautiful thing, keep doing your thing, lotta fun!

[@glenndavis1665]

I bought a few guitars from the guy who sold that Strat to him, Ray Henning at Heart of Texas Music

[@dreww1609]

​@@glenndavis1665 What a cool connection - my wallet always starts sending off alarm bells at the guitar stores as you never know when one will just grab you - but that is a much more unique link into the Universal connection that pervades the aura around Stevie. Suffice to say after 30 years my SRV Strat (not one of those 10K custom shop jobs with the fake wear and tear - cool as they are it feels like cheating) - plays like a dream though mine still looks pretty fresh but I am amazed to look back and realize it turns 30 next year. Again, I haven't been sleeping on pool tables gigging since I was 15, but it doesn't mean I wouldn't love to have a vintage worn -out Strat if money and luck brings one into my world. Hard to beat #1 though, his life and his look and his style - no one can call that anything but legit. Some hotshot new guy on the block - even if they are great and deserve tons of respect - it's kind of a cliche to try to emulate the 'Number 1' look- SRV is SRV. I reckon you have a pretty sweet collection!
