First time hearing Stevie Ray Vaughan

One of Burch's favorites, Alexis reacts to Pride and Joy by Stevie Ray Vaughan. One of the most loved, blues guitarist in history, Stevie was legend for his abilities to perform on stage. Appearing for the first time on the album Texas Flood and reaching number 20 on the billboard mainstream rock charts and is one of his most universally recognizable songs.

Texas Flood at El Mocombo will blow her mind.

[@flickeringboxofficial]

I wanted to start with a shorter, less improv performance. Now that she knows, we can start to get into the longer sets where he really takes off. I can listen all day 😁

[@Heru3005]

I second this. Pride and Joy is a personal favorite of mine, but its far from a showcase of what SRV can do or was really about.

[@Sometimes-even-lyrical]

Introduce her to his exquisite instrumental, "Riviera Paradise," that is infused with soft elements of jazz. Also, to another of his original pieces... his "Ain't Gone 'n' Give Up On Love" at the Capitol Theater. The vocals are as passionate as the guitar playing!

[@bojangles713]

No kiddin Stevie sweating like a dog and makin his strat wail like a witch doctor on fire ...🔥👍🎸🎤

[@minigirl6839]

​@Flickering Box I bet she'd love Jeff Healey and Stevie Ray Vaughan "Look at Little Sister ". Best performance ever for Jeff. Makes you glad you're alive to witness it. 👌💯

[@raybobbitt4767]

You have to watch "Texas Flood" live, you will lose your mind. RIP SRV

[@mikecoughlin4128]

At El Macambo

[@RobertH-ol6mw]

I saw Stevie in L.A. on his last two tours, BB King opened up both shows. Amazing. Show her "Texas Flood" for a real blues experience!

[@hollysmith9979]

I also saw him with BB King and it was a phenomenal concert on the west coast also....he was incredible!!!!❤

[@sparkeyjones6261]

@@hollysmith9979 I saw him with BB King as well.... Chicago Blues fest. At the end of the show, there was an epic blues jam with BB, Stevie Ray, Keith Richards, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, and if I remember correctly, Johnny Winter.

[@BrianSmith-mc2mv]

Please show her Texas Flood (Live at the El Mocambo). When I saw it for the first time in blew my mind.

[@friendsmakingmusic1751]

Now that Alexis has lost her Vaughanginity, Texas Flood live at El Mocambo must be next! This tune is good but Texas Flood is the best video of any of his performances!

[@Mr.Batsu12]

I started playing guitar back in the mid 80s and SRV was one of my first guitar idols back then. I had been huge fans of many other guitarists like Clapton, Paige, Rhodes and Hendrix but SRV was one of the first guitarists that amazed me by his tone alone. There was so much power and energy in his tone that it sounded like he was channeling pure lightning from his strings to the amp. A great memory for me was that I got to see SRV live during his "In Step" album tour. Even better was that my best friend's older brother, who was friends with a number of people in the music industry, knew the guy running the sound for the concernt. He was able to get us back stage passes to meet Stevie. I wish I had some great story where I got to meet him and jam together but it was really just 20-30 people who got to line up, shake his hand and talk to him for a minute or so. Still, for a 17 year old kid who had been playing guitar for a few years at that point it was absolutely amazing to me. 😁

[@jasontaylor6005]

Do Texas Flood live, her mind will be blown.

[@George-kv6gm]

His ability to pick single notes and strum a chord in between made a rhythm guitar unnecessary. Great reaction! Thanks!

[@johnstarace8369]

Welcome to the wonderful, amazing world of the blues guitar and the amazing music of Stevie Ray Vaughan. The more you watch, the more you’ll be amazed. Keep digging into the world of SRV, you won’t be sorry. Stay Cool 😎 and… \m/ Stay Metal \m/

[@jamescarswell3470]

Do you like Joe Bonamassa? I would be great if you could do something by him. Also you should let her listen to The Sky is Crying. That's one of my favorite Stevie Ray songs.

[@Shabenn]

My mother's name was Joy so, she loved anything with Joy in it. There were few things she loved more than a great guitar player. The first time she ever saw Stevie Ray, this was the first song he did. It was instant love. This reminds me of her. RIP Mom and Stevie Ray.

[@claireburling8547]

You mean that was the first thing your Mother heard from him? That's so cool. He did it first cause he knew she was watching. Stevie was magic, it could have very well gone down like that. 🤠😇 Bless them both. ☮️

[@ftldelay]

I'm anxious to see what Alexis thinks about the live performance of Texas Flood.... Blown away will be an understatement!

[@jasonmcewen436]

You have got to show her Texas Flood... Great reaction, as always!

[@bert0522]

Texas Flood live at El Macombo is one she'll love. And Mary Had a Little Lamb. Jim

[@rscottw58]

Texas Flood live at the El Mocambo for sure

[@Buds1own]

♥ “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” ~ Romans 15:13

[@PedroLopez-fe5bf]

There are semi-gods of guitar and then you have a guy able to play "Voodoo Child" with the guitar behind his back.

[@lontollison6771]

You should show her the brothers playing together on the double neck guitar

[@gabby15107]

Some folks don't realize how great he really was. He literally feels the music through his fingers, half the time if you watch he plays with his eyes closed.

[@robertserafin-uc3qn]

I'd love to see a reaction of Jimi Hendrix Vs Stevie Ray Vaughn with Either Voodoo Chile or Little Wing

[@mzondi1970]

Got to see him alive a couple months before he passed away. There are so many songs that really showcase his playing other than this one. Don't get me wrong it's a great song but Texas flood, 10 pan alley, one that nobody reviews Riviera Paradise, Lenny any of them is incredible

[@stevelucero9047]

oh yea Riviera Paradise is Stevie at his smoothest.... great choice...

[@agordon7369]

Nice reaction I’m sure she’ll flip with a video with him putting the guitar behind his back or playing with his teeth

[@antidem82]

Anything from his Austin City Limits concert is fire! Recommend Tightrope Noone really reacts to it. SRV is the goat

[@michaelallen434]

SRV was a unique talent and revitalized the blues for a whole generation. You should listen to Texas Flood!

[@HellenKillerProject]

Stevie was quoted as claiming .. "Jimi came to him in his sleep and they jammed together" SRV overshadowed his brother but they did an album and video stuff. Rock on ...

[@damonkinney7081]

Yes, listen to Texas Flood live at the mocambo. Magic.

[@jayman58016]

SRV had the absolute respect from the OG Blues guitarists. He could jam with the best of them

[@TobyCatVA]

Alexis the thing you like is called vibrato. (Vuh-bra-toe) Vibrato is used to add expression to vocal and instrumental music this is effect consists of a regular, pulsating change of pitch and the pulse rate. Similar to a tremolo effect on guitar.

[@mjc1389]

It almost sounded like Alexis was describing both vibrato and vocal sustain.

[@kevinmalone2218]

I was at Stevie Ray Vaughn's last concert the night his helicopter crashed after the show at Alpine Valley, Wisconsin August 26th 1990. The fog was so bad that we stopped on the way home and got a hotel room. The lineup was SRV, Eric Clapton, Robert Cray and Buddy Guy. RIP SRV!

[@CharlieJ69]

If we'd only had youtube back in the 80s, I wouldn't have taken so long to see how good SRV really was. I never saw him live but I remember when he died, in 1990 if I remember correctly. It wasn't until earlier this year I watched Texas Flood and I just couldn't believe it

[@VikingOzzie]

Some Jeff Healey would be good kzbin.info/www/bejne/najKgIiwpMmGbKc and Jeff with SRV - Look at Little Sister

[@hollysmith9979]

I love the reaction Alexis and this was a great choice to break you in to SRV......I had the please of seeing Stevie shortly before he passed away at a concert on the west coast and it was mesmerizing to watch him play live.....he had soul flowing thru his veins and I have read he was one of the most unpretencious musicians around....it was painful to hear he passed away because he was a true legend...RIP SRV🎸❤

[@claireburling8547]

Alexis dear, for your own pleasure listen to Little Wing, but the studio version from the album way back. ❤ Beautiful Jimi Hendrix composition, honored by SRV.

[@scotttrainer9704]

Voice doesn't match........Humble Pie doing Black Coffee

[@chanaplotke6218]

Can I suggest for Pride and Joy another performance? SRV LOVE STRUCK BABY - PRIDE AND JOY RARE.

[@HellenKillerProject]

Rush - Xanadu 1977 Live ..This was when it was real. I'm old )= At this time, these guys were in no mood to get crazy, Already were .. Just a could step on the "what instrument do you play?" spectrum ..

[@jimmyraidjames]

I'm excited for Alexis to hear early Van halen... Edward Van Halen G.O.A.T 🎸🎸👑👑

[@Justin_Dykes]

SRV was my intro to the blues and I've been hooked ever since can't go wrong with SRV

[@sjdj408]

This is Texas blues. “Shakey way” 😂 that’s “vibrato” lol…. But like others are sayin Texas Flood at El Mocambo - shoulda been her first intro to SRV.

[@edphillips8578]

I would suggest watching the 1989 performance of Voodoo Child (Slight Return) at Austin City Limits as it's a masterclass of his guitar playing and seeing a clean and sober Stevie show you just how much better he was after he finally shed his drug and alcohol addiction that plagued him for most of his life

[@bigoneleesmith6969]

React to his song Look At Little Sister from Austin, Texas. You both WILL NOT be disappointed !!

[@bdavidson8658]

Amazing my favorite guitar player. How about some love for Double Trouble backing him up great reaction.

[@rodgeranderson4922]

If you like singers whose voice doesn't match the face have a look at The Animals - House of the Rising Sun. Well, any Animals song will do.

[@Dano_in_Texas]

I'll repeat what others have said...Texas Flood live at El Macambo. Trust us. 😉😎

[@margiewhitehead2453]

Yessss 😂 we got a newby fixing to listen to SRV and I'm pretty confident wether she likes the song or not.... Steve's Guitar will get her either way 😂

[@russellgtyler8288]

I love to see the younger generation discover the music of my generation. Gives me hope.

[@Saf_Shares]

... Don't think I'll ever meet a guitarist who won't like SRV.

[@daryltom3183]

1989 Albq NM... i worked security right in front of the stage under SRV, i keep looking over my shoulders to see him sing and jam out quite a few times, my boss came over and said 'hey! watch the crowed.' The next year we heard of the tragic accident.

[@richardturk7162]

Great choice of SRV tunes to review. So sad young girls are covering themselves with tattoos.

[@patrickg.1170]

SRV literally played HIS FINGER TIPS OFF....He would have to glue the tips back on with super glue....INSANE. I remember hearing on the radio, sitting at the James K. Polk Motel near Nashville when they announced his death.

[@coleyounger5689]

BADLANDS 🤘 DREAMS IN THE DARK...

[@ranchyblues]

I agree with some of the other people who have commented on this that you need to check out Texas Flood Live At The El Mocambo.

[@Damngoodgig2000]

Listen to Rita’s gone by Marcus King band. New school blues

[@dawnmoore4329]

SRV was exceptional. I'd like to suggest you take a look at another exceptional blues player that doesn't get the attention that SRV gets, but who was a groundbreaking legend of a guitarist, the late Rory Gallagher. Listen to the 1984 performance in Belfast of "I Wonder Who" for a sample of Rory's electric blues. For a different take, try listening to his acoustic version of "Out on the Western Plain". Or he and Bela Fleck performing "Walking Blues" in 1994 at Montreux in an impromptu set-neither artist had any idea they would be playing together and had never done so previously. You can feel the fun these two artists were having. Thanks!

[@svaught32]

Texas Flood Live. Please do it :)

[@xJRx77]

Wanna blow her away? SRV Live at El Macambo... Texas flood. What he does with the guitar 3/4 through the song is nothing less then mesmerizing.

[@curiousman1672]

When I watch great guitarists, I watch their hands. Been watching hands for 40 years. All of them. In particular, and this makes complete sense, the two people with the supplest hands are Stevie and Jimi. Sooooooooooo relaxed. Just effortless in movement; zero tension. Beautiful to watch and epic for the ear. Great post.

[@KyleKessler-q4w]

You really need to show her “Mary Had A Little Lamb” live on Austin City Limits. It’s spectacular.

[@manowKISS1234]

Another banger guitar player you have gotta introduce her to is Jeff Healey!

[@patrickmurray9409]

Check out him an Jeff Healey, damn that helicopter. Both gone too soon.

[@dewapd1169]

If you like Stevie, you gotta LOVE Gary Moore!!

[@seanmartin1308]

Please introduce her to the other Texas legend dimebag Darrell! That's how we roll here in big D!

[@timc3066]

I always wonder what he, Hendrix and others could have done if they had lived longer.

[@roberta7727]

Love, Love, Love ❤SRV(RIP) I was blessed to see him couple of time's in concert and meet him and shake his spectacular, angelic, hand 😅 And tell him how much he was Loved by his fans❤ he was very happy, kind and humble, Beautiful soul and of course I told him how wonderful his voice was, because he was very self conscious about it 😅 but we all know how great it sounds ❤ amazing🎉and his guitar playing was off the chain!!!!😊So he knew he was Loved very much💯🥰 Thank you for jamming Stevie Ray,🤘🇺🇲🦾🎸🙏👍👍✌️🎧 Maybe you could jam🎶 Life without you? It's a great song 💯Love your channel and your reactions 👍🙏🎧🤘Rock on and Rock hard 🦾💯🙏✌️🤘📀❤😻🥰

[@matthewdever2118]

If you want to hear him drop vibrato at the end of lines, listen to Texas Flood.

[@steverodgers9372]

Eric Clapton and Gary Moore are the best playing guitar and singing at the same time 👍🇦🇺

[@ChrisRoberts-jt4iy]

Tightrope and Leave My Girl Alone from his 1989 Austin City Limits show are a must see!

[@jeffreybusse8746]

Add Jonny Lang, Shannon Curfman, and Samantha Fish to your Blues journey; great younger generation guitarists/vocalists

[@donrichards271]

I had the pleasure of seeing SRV at a few different venues and was blown away every time. The first show (Grandstand seating at a racetrack) will always stand out though. The played Couldn't Stand The Weather with a thunderstorm filled with lightning developing in the distance behind the stage. Eerie and hauntingly beautiful.

[@BClarke]

His playing is so effortless, it’s truly amazing.

[@ewfan2631]

You should introduce Alexis to another blues guitar legend from Texas, Johnny Winter. The live performance of Tobacco Road with his brother Edgar on vocals is a must-see (kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5eTo4lsmdGcldE). The bass player is Tommy Shannon, who later played in Double Trouble with SRV. Johnny's guitar work is insane and Edgar will knock your socks off...several times.

[@tn_bayouwulf2949]

Alexis would really enjoy hearing SRV's song, "Life Without You" live at the Capital Theater, Passaic, NJ.

[@amykienitz6311]

Another great blues guitarist is Jeff Healey who had cancer as a small child and was blind his live version of “see the light” in 1988 is awesome. Became popular to all novice people when he was in Road House with Patrick Swayze.

great reaction to pride and joy. its nice to bring his music to a ' YOUNGSTER ' BB king called his guitar LUCILLE. stevie called his guitar LOVER BOY. stii considered top 5 blues guitarist of all time. his music transcends time 40 years later. R.I.P. SRV

[@jamiereavis1]

[@stevelucero9047]

There are a few guitarists who are identified as "game changers"... in that there is "before and after" when they became known. Page, Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughan.

[@bamachine]

After you fully immerse Alexis in SRV, you should also have her check out his brother's band, The Fabulous Thunderbirds.

SRV is the best evidence we have of Alien life on Earth.

Believe it or not I got to go backstage at 3 concerts in 1984 ,1 in Davis CA,1 in Sacramento CA,& 1 in Chico CA 3 nights in a row with my first husband and his boss....... this was in Stevie's Dr*g days, but so freaking awesome ✌️

[@sprezzatura8755]

"Mary had a little lamb" is one of my favorites.

[@rikki030381]

Not the song I would've picked as for many guitarists (myself included) say the hardest part of this song is the riff and licks while singing. The dynamics he uses and the ability to mute certain strings while letting notes ring through and changing constantly. Hybrid picking bends all while singing. I can play all of the notes in time. I can't sound anywhere near him and I've only heard maybe three guitarists sound like him. RIP my hero.

[@cameltanker1286]

If you are impressed now, wait until you see his live version of Texas Flood.

[@chrisautrey5051]

What she calls shakey is actually vibrato.
