So no.. sorry he didn't suddenly become a god after 1986, but nonetheless was happy that SRV did manage to get clean, albeit in the end sadly all for nout :(.

[@nysus3530]

This song has a special place in my heart. My family, from New Orleans, we do our morning and crying at the start of a funeral, at the end, we sing and dance and eat. When my mother passed, a few hours before the service, we heard this street performer playing on the corner. 18th Street Red, was his name. Rocking out on a beat up guitar, the man took the first money someone gave him and bought a can of tuna fish and a small loaf of bread. Split the loaf and filled it with the tuna, then tore it in half and gave half to his dog. My aunt and I asked if he knew Texas Flood, he did. Asked if he would play it for us during the service for $50 and all the food he could eat and take with him from the gathering after. The parlor wouldn't let us bring him in, so my brother and I barred and locked the doors as he played. He was so good my stone-faced step father broke down before he even started singing. The parlor workers banging on the doors. He brought down the house. Tried to give us our money back at the gathering. Everyone pitched in to give him what we had, his dog was shocked by the food given and love shown. He hung out with us for the next 3 hours. Damn, I love Texas Flood...

[@teresalewis-hutson937]

OMG SHAQ YES FINALLY PLEASE, PLEASE DO "VOODOO CHILE" EITHER NASHVILLE 1987 OR AUSTIN CITY LIMITS 1989 Edit: Thanks so much for checking Stevie out, man. Stevie was one of the most humble guitarists this world has seen. And he knew more than just blues. Check out "Riviera Paradise" as well. Preferably at the Austin City Limits 1989 show, but KZbin took it down forever ago for some reason. Stevie was deep, deep into drugs and alcohol by 1986, and cleaned up after a near death experience. He composed the song as a "Thank you" prayer for coming out alive. It's probably one of the most beautiful pieces of guitar work I've heard. His story helped me through my own demons, and his 1989 album "In Step" (named after the AA program,) is 100% the reason why I've been playing guitar for the last 8 years.

[@csi2448]

The one from ACL 89 is my favorite. His tone, the use of the octavia and fuzz face pedals just bring the performance to another level!

Bluesy1990 beautiful words, on your edit paragraph. It's exactly why I recommended Shaq to do Life Without You from Nashville in 1987. Stevie's speech during that will put you in your feelings. Stevie is my idol and seeing what he overcame in life, is really really inspiring! Stevie actually had Riviera Paradise composed while he was on drugs. He performs it during an interview while in Japan during 1985, using a Flying V. And he then mashes it up with Lenny during the Tokyo performance during the same leg of the tour. I don't know if Shaq would be able to react to a video on a different website, but Riviera Paradise from ACL is on Vimeo

My dad was a huge fan. In fact, my dad was in high school when SRV was playing around the DFW area and he played a gig at my dad’s school in Garland, Texas. My dad fell in love with his music; his step brother actually knew Stevie through friends because the local rock scene was very close to each other. SRV died about 5 years before I was born, so I grew up listening to his work because he was one of my dad’s favorite artists, the only rock group that’s as linked to Dallas is Pantera, so it only makes sense that the Dallas Stars (the hockey team here) plays Pantera as their theme/goal song and home wins get “The House Is Rockin” by Stevie.

Those faces are called “Stank Face.” That’s when you know you’re working out and it’s getting good to you. As a bassist, we’ve got our own variation called “Bass Face.” When we’re locked into that pocket with the drums and we’re just killing it with either a nasty groove, or a crazy run, we’ve got that 😤 look down!

Might wanna look into these gems, they will all blow your mind. Stevie Ray Vaughan - Little Wing (07/11/1983) Steve Vai - "Tender Surrender" BB King - Sweet Sixteen (Live from Africa) Santana - Soul Sacrifice 1969 "Woodstock" Live Video HQ Really love your reactions, you keep it real, and thats why your channel will continue to grow :D

[@csi2448]

That performance of Little Wing and then Third Stone right after it always blows my mind! Leave My Girl Alone from ACL 89 is another that will blow your mind. I don't think he's done any Hendrix yet either. So if he's gonna do Little Wing, he's obviously gotta listen to the original. Albert King - Born Under A Bad Sign, As The Years Go Passing By are also some songs he should put on the list

[@GenerationalDisappointment]

Santana for sure. Such a sick performance at Woodstock

[@imweakfordeaky]

Excellent suggestions!

[@robertedwardpenn91]

Great reaction! Same way I was stunned when I first heard him in 1980. When this video was done and I was so taken in by your responses I got real emotional ... I miss this man and his music so much. My wife and I had the excitement to see him on his final tour playing alongside Jeff Beck. Thanks again for your reaction. Now I'm gonna go to my studio and cry a bit.

[@jasoncheshire6153]

He was loved because music flowed through him and he let the music be the most important thing. A lot of players try to make themselves the most important thing by playing, "look what I can do" and the music takes a back seat thereby robbing the listeners of the experience. SRV made it about the music and that is why everyone feels it. He found a way to channel the music through him and surrendered to the music. A great musician is all about the music and not at all about themselves.

[@SeanMichaelShack]

His guitar string broke so he switched guitars 🎸 what a fucking legend

GasserGlass cool that you knew that. You ever see them back in the day when the t-birds would open for Stevie. Saw him few years ago with Dylan. Dylan should have backed him up. Great show little meet and great after his set. He is so humble wouldn’t it be great if t-birds got back together.

My friend this man was the greatest guitarist of all time and he was a humble man in life.you are getting blues direct from the source when you listen to S.R.V.

[@mono.isgtds]

It’s worth knowing he used 13 gauge strings and a really high action so it was even harder to play.

[@chubby242424]

In theory yes harder. But huge fret wire and big strings actually make it a little easier to play for some people. He was tuned down 1/2 step so those 13s felt like 11s, still 2 sizes bigger than what I play myself . But the neck is a tree trunk on that guitar. Thats why us mere mortals are not worthy of the stank he picked out of that old beat up piece of wood.

[@christianlopez5367]

@@chubby242424 not true I play with 13s and sometimes 14 s cause I break 12 s 11 s to easy . . Your fingers literally start ripping .. it's not the same . It's just with anything you have to work your way up . I'll let people play my guitar who are better than me and they have a hard time getting a note out of it . But if you give them a guitar with 10s or 11s they're like Eddie van Halen

[@exceptformeandmymonkey6964]

He broke those heavy strings bending the shit out of them. His fingers had to be like wood on the tips. Calloused to the point of no return.

[@whyis45stillalive]

It was nothing for Stevie to wear out all 3 corners of a pick... On one song.

[@chubby242424]

I play 13s on my washburn dime. With a higher action then any of my fender or gibsons. Bend the shit out of them and damn near break the strings with the trem arm. It takes a few min to adjust to the string size but its not that bad, and within a few min I can solo dime stuff on it. I prefer the smaller strings just for comfort on my fenders but its not some big imposition to play comfortably above my normal string gauge. . The fact that he used to break 13s and sometimes necks with his hand is insane.

[@PhilB61]

Always great to see someone discover Stevie for the first time. "He doesn't know the rules, he's coming out the gate all crazy and making faces". Those of us who know who SRV is are just thinking "Oh, just wait, he's barely getting warmed up!" And those were his clean years. The universe will never know another like him. I'm busting my ass on the guitar trying to get 0.01% of his greatness to radiate through my fingers...
