FIRST TIME WATCHING Stevie Ray Vaughan Texas Flood LIVE BRITS REACTION!

[@bh1264]

Right-handed, left-handed, behind his head, behind his back, it doesn't matter where, when, how, whatever, it makes no difference! STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN IS, WAS & ALWAYS WILL BE THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!!!!

[@BryanNelson-o1c]

He was100 times better then jimmy hendrix

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

Clapton once described Stevie Ray as an endless well from where music just flowed effortless

[@pd4104lang]

Stevie was straight blues! You don't play the blues, you feel it!

[@FourFish47]

He's broken strings in the middle of songs and got a new guitar without missing a beat. The more you listen to him, the more you'll appreciate his talent. I hope.

[@pebblehilllane]

You can see that happen very clearly in this video of "Look at Little Sister." The string pops and SRV kept playing with 5 strings until the best time to switch out guitars and then nodded for another to be brought to him ---- and he never missed a beat. ----- kzbin.info/www/bejne/aajSgYmHet13qbM

[@blackthornpvp]

@@pebblehilllane his roadie ran up and gave him another guitar, just switched the strap and input. its really not that hard to do :P

[@santiagogarciajr1188]

The one I am talking about he was playing another hendrix song at the end of the concert

[@pebblehilllane]

@@blackthornpvp - Other than the part where I said after popping a string he continued to play until the best moment to switch guitars we said pretty much the same thing. The part that is more impressive is the being able to continue to play at such a high level with one less string than having a roadie help switch out a guitar.

[@GinMae]

@@pebblehilllane YES! Brick - this one -- and also check out keyboardist Reese Wynans!

[@toddellison5128]

A cool note about SRV, he couldn't read sheet music. Everything he played he created or picked up and played. It's said he could listen to a song, and quickly start playing it, then come up with his own take by the end of the song. A pure, Texas treasure.

[@12peekabooo]

No blues guitarist reads sheet music.

[@danstanicki4636]

SRV was a guitar magician. Thick-ass 13 gauge strings, playing lead and rhythm simultaneously . R,I,P and thank you for all the great music.

[@randygoodson9800]

Dallas Texas born lived in Austin Texas and died way too soon the best guitarist ever RIP SRV we all miss you

[@MattSlaughter]

Lived in my mom's apartment complex here in Austin before I was born, and would do private small shows for a few of his neighbors to try out new jams. She tells me he was insanely humble and kind.

[@thomastims9583]

I’m glad that you mentioned that he didn’t even have to think about it because Eric Clapton said the same thing. Clapton said sometimes when he’s playing (Eric)he’s thinking of what he’s going to play next and sometimes comes up blank but that Stevie was an open channel and it just flowed through him, and that he never had to think what he was gonna play next.

[@bjcee1108]

Stevie was one of a kind. He was amazing, and had a heart of gold. He is missed.

[@firefighterchick]

There will never be another SRV. It's such a loss to music that he left the world so soon. He is proof that most people have the ability to learn to play a musical instrument. Then there are those that have a natural gift that no amount of lessons can compete with. I hope his song Pride and Joy is on your list. It's a favorite of mine, although it's somewhat tainted ever since it was used in a Criminal Minds episode(a great series).😂

[@Ordzo88]

And sad to think he finally got sober and righted his life just for a tragedy to strike 😢 And thank god Clapton didn't board that helicopter even tho he was suppose tho. RIP to all lost at Alpine ❤️

[@monalisaganser5813]

SRV was an amazing human being! Life Without You Capital Theater Passaic New Jersey 1985! Or Life Without You Nashville TN! He was so great ! I was blessed to meet and jam with him ! Amazing human being! So happy when he got sober! I cried when I heard the news of his death! RIP my friend! You are in blues heaven and your music lives on! Thank you guys for keeping Stevie’s music alive! Enjoy your channel! A new subscriber from Phoenix Arizona USA! Take care! 😊🫶🤞🎸🎵☀️🙏

[@jenell56]

@monalisaganser5813 SRV was indeed such a wonderful human! I was so blessed to be at a private gathering with him back in 1985 and sat and listened to him play pure magic for a couple of hours. The world lost a Guitar WIZARD way too soon and we are most definately the poorer for it 😒

[@kevinfeldman5100]

In 1983, Stevie Ray Vaughan did a show in Canada called "In Session", with Albert King. Some of the many songs they do are good. They had known each other for years. So it is a jam session.

[@KB-ke3fi]

I knew both of them, and they loved jamming here in Texas.

[@murraytomlinson6562]

It's one of my favorites, too. ALL of it.

[@jackiemorris66]

Yes Albert absolutely adored Stevie. Apparently Stevie only had one black daddy according to Albert King. Even BB King respected Stevie so much. He was definitely loved by his peers who all thought he outshone them.

[@sitnhere]

@@KB-ke3fi Me too.....at Antone's. Remember those days in Austin?

[@quentinmichel7581]

Stevie always played by feel in the moment making every version of his songs the same but different. His brother Jimmy was once asked by an interviewer "Does Stevie ever play a song the same way twice?", to which Jimmy quickly quipped, " Hell, Stevie never plays a song the same way ONCE!" 😁 Epic. Also ..you mentioned how can he write that stuff down? Stevie could neither read nor write music. It was all by ear & feel.

[@ericmcdonough8193]

Got to see him from within five rows back a few times in the mid '80s at south street seaport in NYC. Been almost 40 years and I can recall it like it was yesterday.

[@josetrejo1801]

YOU JUST WITNESSED THE GREATEST MUSICAL PERFORMANCE IN THE HISTORY OF MUSIC PERIOD. SRV WAS THE ONLY ONE EVER TO MAKE A GUITAR SMOKE A CIGARETTE AFTER HE FINISH PLAYIN IT

[@FourFish47]

Stevie Ray Vaughn was absolutely THE BEST!!!

[@pat_in_va8605]

I miss Stevie so much. Imagine the music he would have made had he not died so young.

[@dlbb8837]

1:20pm PST Canada 's pride and joy COLIN JAMES toured with Stevie and Stevie gave Colin his start. Colin is still going strong...has 20 albums and numerous awards to his name. Give him a listen ... try VOODOO THING for starters. He is our Pride and Joy!!!

[@johntomasik1555]

What's even stranger is if you experienced SRV live, when he throws that guitar behind his back, you wouldn't even raise an eyebrow. Saw many, many very talented performers, and SRV, to this day, still remains as the greatest emotional experience I've had from any performer.

[@klauswyatt1050]

After waiting for years to see him concert, one night in about 1984 , I saw him at the Wiltern theater in downtown LA. It was an awesome show. The place was really jumpin, he was just blowing the crowd away. Then toward the last 30 mins he stopped and said, Got a special guest sittin in the Audience , Mr. Greg Allman, come on up! He got on stage and they jammed and played a couple of songs. And brought the house down!!! You knew you just witnessed something Historic.

[@armadillotoe]

Seeing him up close and live was an amazing night.

[@stevenmonte7397]

He grew up in my neighborhood. I met him once. Never knew he would become the GOAT!!! SRV was a LEGEND!!!

[@elizabethstops2362]

Stevie is a wizard. Born that way. Don't ever try to compare yourself to him You'll never understand his genius. Just be in awe.

[@lucasroth7922]

I was fortunate enough to Stevie Ray at Fitzgerald's in Houston back in the late 70s. It was an awesome place for live music, he played just as hard no matter the venue or audience size! He was awesome 🔥🤘✌

[@williamwarlick3497]

Love you gentlemens knowledgeable insights. Stevie Ray Vaughan was gifted from God. A tiny little man with the strength of a giant in his hands. He channeled music straight from heaven.

[@lathedauphinot6820]

That’s all true!

[@alienlifeform7490]

Of the gods, is the only explanation possible. Stevie's spiritual essence shines so brilliantly through his whole body, which is so intimately and fully expressed through the guitar and voice. It's really an epiphany to watch him. That essence is expressed in everyone to lesser or greater degrees. Stunning performance. Thanks for you reaction!

[@johntillery9652]

I agree on Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland, another Texas Blues player. He also did Hendrix's Little Wing as well.

[@hollysmith9979]

I had the please of seeing Stevie live shortly before he passed away and it was mesmorizing to watch him play and I'll never forget watching him bend those 13 gauge strings...yes piano sized strings it was amazing to watch!!!! He also have a beautiful blues voice but didn't think he had a good voice😮...he played with many greats including David Bowie and he was very unpretensous for being such a legend so we lost a phenominal guitar player and an amazing human being!!! Love your reactions and look forward to more on SRV the GOAT RIP SRV❤

[@alanberg5575]

The Jimi Hendrix and Jimmie Vaughan wah wah pedal story was many years before Jimmie was with the Thunderbirds---just to clarify things. As to Stevie, he was simply the greatest guitar player of all-time. By the way, he was playing behind the back with 13's on the high E string. There were few guitarists who could play Stevie's guitar, even from the front, because they didn't have Stevie's hand and forearm strength. Looking forward to your exploration of SRV next month.

[@jennifermorris6848]

I love how he can make a guitar speak. He and BBKing made the guitar a whole living breathing creature.

[@Chris-kj7de]

Agreed ... also Joe Bonamassa.

[@tskend8502]

The man takes his bow while playing behind his back. epic.

[@philipsummers9682]

Well done on this one , Stevie inspired by his older brother Jimmie , also Albert King , BB , Jimi Hendrix , the list goes on ! The first time I heard the album Texas Flood ! I knew this was someone very special ! I was so upset on his passing , such a loss ! Eric Clapton's comments says it all 👍💯

[@tamtam7546]

Great reaction. What a talent SRV was!

[@PointOWoodsgal]

SRV will never be eclipsed. I Iove seeing the delight on your faces as you watch his performances, he was truly one of a kind.

[@klauswyatt1050]

Stevie Ray is like a storm rollin on through.

[@randyg.1836]

Great reaction! Another impressive fact about Stevie Ray is that he never learned to read music so he just played what came from his soul.

[@mingusbreeze]

I moved to Texas in 1989 found his music and sadly two years after he was gone.

[@robertmooney571]

The greatest guitar player to every live. RIP SRV

[@deborahhalbert3372]

So excited for April’s SRV Highlights. If you can please do “Tin Pan Alley” live w/Johnny Copeland. It’s a masterpiece of a performance both vocally & w/guitar. THE GOAT

[@ei96byod]

Yeah, if someone says they're not impressed with SRV:s singing, you HAVE to show them that version of Tin Pan Alley. It is UNBELIEVABLE!! He's got both the blues and the soul in that one. Exceptional stuff!

[@julienmarquet8612]

Not the best version with Coppeland, who forgot the lyrics😂

[@DrFeelgoodDMZ]

@@julienmarquet8612 it doesnt matter if some lyrics were forgotten or if was all correct. its a whole vibe and some amazing picking and singing by both.

[@claranielsen3382]

Stevie was such an incredible guy. This is Texas Blues at its best. Pride and Joy is a really good one too.

[@phillipthomas119]

Truly a legend 🙌!!! He is my favorite guitar player by far! He can make one guitar sound like 3... his music just flows like a never ending stream of greatness!!

[@derekpalmer8752]

Watch all of the El Mocambo. It's unreal! It's so cool seeing someone see him go behind the back for the first time. He would also take off his hat and put it on the mic to go behind his head.

[@ShaBae-wl9ho]

So happy that more people are discovering what a gem SRV is. I was in high school in the 80s and had heard of him but didn't pay attention. It was only LAST YEAR I discovered him and I'm rather obsessed!

[@alanmacification]

This was recorded in 1983 at the El Mocambo on Spadina Ave. In Toronto, Canada.

[@davidstephens6462]

Chris & Tommy, Double Trouble, are still the best rhythm section EVER!!

[@scipio7837]

And that gentlemen is why so many of us asked you to react to this. He was the GOAT.

[@patwilson2546]

Got to see him playing my college (CW Post LIU) in the early 80s before he got too big for that sort of thing. Best show I have ever seen. The college auditorium was built for top quality sound. SRV was SRV. Small place. Just perfect.

[@LibertySpam]

I was born in The Hill Country of Texas in 81, I distinctly remember the rains he talks about. We don't get them anymore but we still have SRV

[@BritPopsReact]

@Legit Spam Cheers and thanks for the comment

[@tomcleland3422]

Great reaction guys. I saw him in and around the Detroit area including the same tour as this, at a place called Saint Andrews Hall. Play basically the same set, but he didn't play the songs the same, and that was one of the beauties of him was that you never heard the same version of a song Twice. There is a video from 1986 I believe from Daytona Beach that has the songs love-struck baby and rude mood same video and it was the first tour he did clean and sober after having real struggles with alcohol and drugs. A lot of people were worried, as was he, that he wouldn't be as good or creative without the substances that he was using. In fact, he was better, and in that performance The Joy on his face oh, you just know that this is a man who was happy to be alive and happy to still be able to do the thing you love most in the world. Stevie Ray Vaughan is my number one and always will be, I had the opportunity to see him live in a number of different settings, from small venues all the way up to full stadium events. I'm really glad you guys dig him, take care. Nice reaction

[@lathedauphinot6820]

I saw an interview with his brother Jimmie where he was asked if it was true Stevie never played a song the same way twice, and Jimmie answered, “Hell, he never played it the same way once!”

[@justinhorn2395]

The thing about SRV for me is i continue to feel that same excitement from the music year after year. Its Amazing. RIP Stevie, tell Jimi and Eddie we said hi!

[@hendilman]

Snuck out of the house at the age of 14, bribed a security guard not to card me and caught Stevie at the Boathouse in Norfolk, Virginia in 1983. Life was never the same afterwards.

[@danrudnick5252]

Musicians dream of playing legendary guitars. Legendary guitars dream of being played by Stevie.

[@Champaign1117]

Only concert people ever found themselves begging, pleading & shouting for a nursery rhyme. Yep, been there, done that. Miss you Stevie

[@melvisroberts3715]

SRV doesn't sweat, he oozes blues guitar. He plays blues from every single pore of his body

[@quiltie1774]

I must have watched this video over 50 times. It never gets old! I love watching people seeing his tricks for the first time.

[@flyingardilla143]

I was at his third from the last concert. So glad I was able to see him live.

[@davidhinshaw3236]

"I'm here all day." LMFAO! Almost spit out my drink. Bravo!

[@ZONEPRESSLLC]

Clapton also said Stevie is the only one he's ever heard who doesn't take a break while playing. Meaning just going through the motions for a bit while performing.

[@KB-ke3fi]

Pretty ironic too....Stevie was a fan of another Texan, Buddy Holly. And he also listened to another blues Texan from Beaumont, Johnny Winter.

[@julienmarquet8612]

😅Yes, i heard that interview, when Clapton said that! He das in his car, and heard SRV, for the 1st time.....But, seriously, bro, how dare you comparing SRV, who's a fantastic blues guitar play, with LEGENDS LIKE CLAPTON, OR PAGE, OR HENDRIX😅STAY SERIOUS PLEASE.....I won't talk about the 2 best guitarists ever, Jimi Hendrix, and Jimmy Page, but, as a bluesman, just, listen to Eric Clapton when he played Bob Dylan's "DON'T THINK TWICE IT'S ALRIGHT, LIVE AT THE MADISON SQUARE GARDEN" (not the shit version with Bob Dylan), i cry each time i listen to it! SRV, was a great guitar player, tecnical skills, etc....but, not giving so much emotions, as the other legends! Too much technical skills, and not enough emotions.....

[@ZONEPRESSLLC]

@@julienmarquet8612 lol, no one would agree with that crap. Get lost.

[@12peekabooo]

Oh my, you haven’t heard much SRV if you think he doesn’t have enough emotion. He was better than Clapton and Page - both were in awe of him - and he may have been just as good as Hendrix.

[@itchyandred4131]

The look on your faces when he turned that guitar around behind his back!........... priceless 😲✌️

[@quentinmichel7581]

I would highly recommend to take a look at the video of Stevie and Jimmy playing the instrumental song PIPELINE at the same time ..on the same guitar. 😁

[@quiltie1774]

Watch bassist Tommy look at SRV, THE LOOK ON Stevie’s face is priceless when he realizes he is performing! Big smile.

[@TheRagratus]

Riviera Paradise. This is a soulful instrumental. After a full day of recording material for the album, Stevie asked his producer to leave the tape running and to turn down the lights.

[@telynns8490]

He plays guitar like we breathe air. Nicely put.

[@petepal55]

I see you guys got brains too, spotlighting SRV for April got my sub, lol! When he puts the guitar behind his back... it's an old showman's bit, he learned it from those who came before.

[@krazzybastard]

He never wanted to sing but was talked into it and wow worked out pretty dang good👍

[@oversixtyandsassy9553]

Discovered your channel while KZbin surfing looking for some Stevie Ray tunes as a pick me up. Also Subscribed and bought a Stevie ray Tee. 😉 I discovered his music in 1989 in at a very small intimate LA club called The Strand. My friend and I went to see the Fabulous T-Birds and were sitting behind the soundboard at a high top table. At the high top next to us was guy dressed in black wearing a black plateau hat. Didn’t know who he was, but every so often he would get up and work the soundboard. Finally at the end Jimmy invited his “little brother” up on the stage and it turned out to be the guy sitting next to us all night, Stevie Ray Vaughan. I had not heard of him up until that point, (must’ve been living under a rock) He got up and played a few songs. He started with The House is a Rockin’. I was overwhelmed with his talent especially being so close to the stage, just a few ft away. The next day I went out and bought every CD I could get my hands on. Turned me on to blues from all generations. This live version of Texas Flood is a masterpiece.

[@BritPopsReact]

@Over Sixty And Sassy Hello to you and first of all, what a great name you have. Thanks you for the great comment, it's always wonderful for us to hear first hand accounts of people meeting these great artists. We have done quite a few Stevie Ray Vaughn and also one of Jimmy and can be found in our playlist. We release new a new video everyday and go all over the place. We released this SRV video on Monday: kzbin.info/www/bejne/haWxapd7nb6Kgck Finally, thank you also for the support and the Stevie Ray Tee purchase. We hope you come back often and enjoy the channel.

[@oversixtyandsassy9553]

😆 I watched it yesterday! I love your senses of humor. And I also appreciate you giving some history for your viewers. Just watched, Life Without You. Another live masterpiece. Keep up the fun reactions. I’m going to start working my way through others. And yes, I am over 60 and very sassy. 😉

[@KB-ke3fi]

I've known at least 10 guys from Texas that can play like that over the past 60 years....but nobody on the east and west coast likes to admit it. Rock and Roll was invented in Texas, baby...all the way back from big band of Glenn Miller to Buddy Holly and on up....like Johnny Winter. Southern Delta blues and Texas Rockabilly mixed and every pop, rock and blues band in the world have them to thank.

[@donlynn]

You say you think he must practice, just watch his sound check, about 20 minutes “practice” wow!!!😮😊❤

[@Donnagilbert6497]

Loved your educated and emotional comments! I’m voting for “Tin Pan Alley” from Montreux 1985 (Featuring Stevie and Johnny Copeland) and “Mary Had a Little Lamb” from Austin 1989. Fire!!!!!! Did you know that Stevie could not read or write music? All by ear. Also, he was as humble and kind as he was talented. I was blessed to have spent time with him between 1987 and his passing. Such a gentle man. Donna G❤

Thanks, gentlemen. Highly enjoyable. Thanks for listening to your viewers. Thanks to all of Stevie's so cool fans for not dropping any spoilers about that behind-the-back-spin, because it's fun to watch the looks of disbelief. I'm now subbed w/the notifications bell lit, so i'll be tuning in more often - Wednesdays, especially. Thanks, above all, to Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble. SRV, RIP. 💙 💙 💙

[@strattuner]

STRAT MASTER,GENIUS VOCALS, he felt it

[@miragesmack007]

You mentioned his freedom when he plays, you are spot on. He never played a song the same way twice. Each event was its own version. This set at El Macambo is considered one of the greatest live performances ever, though some songs played there, I prefer versions played elsewhere. He felt like fans deserved a unique show, not the same one over and over.

[@seanb3808]

Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the El mocambo boogie time tonight from Austin Texas Stevie Ray Vaughan

[@Wormfish]

Lovely! Thanks guys. Hope you enjoyed it!

[@burb92]

I lived in Dallas from early 70s to 1989 and got to see him quite a bit and he also played with his brother jimmy vaughn whose band was the thunderbirds. sadly he was killed in a helicopter crash after doing a gig in Wisconsin on August27 1990. so sad to see one of the greatest guitarists ever. RIP Stevie

[@robincochran7369]

Stevie's brother Jimmie doesn't have the flash his younger brother possessed but, a fine blues guitarist in the traditional sense. Stevie often said Jimmie was his first and biggest influence. And other great bluesmen had respect for Jimmie as well. Stevie's sessions with his mentor Albert King are well worth a listen.

[@yotaman2112]

I hope somewhere in April you fit in “RIVIERA PARADISE LIVE IN AUSTIN,TEXAS. He has so many great great performances and some I can watch every day. Another one that I hope is on the list is “MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB” from the same concert. Boy oh boy are y’all in for a ride with SRV.

[@Wormfish]

I’m so excited to see this!!! Yay!!

My favorite quote (paraphrased) that someone posted about Stevie is, "After Stevie Ray Vaughan performs, his guitar smokes a cigarette." 😃

He’s just the GOAT OF GOATS! 😎🤠🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@bonnielynch3831]

God Bless SRV and Texas!!

[@suecook1326]

When Stevie Ray first came on the scene, the blues genre was dying. Nobody was buying those records or listening to those musicians till Stevie Ray started playing the blues. By inviting the old time blues musicians on stage with him, they were able to rescue the genre and it gained an entirely new audience. Make sure you react to his compilations with the old blues stars, such as BB King, Johnny Copeland, Albert King just to name a few. He also played with Jeff Healey on a couple of songs. He wasn't an old blues star but another outstanding guitarist with some major handicaps he had to overcome. They say Stevie was the most kind hearted man.

[@gloriajeanshaeffer1549]

no one better then or since He was the bext RIP Stevie Ray

[@lathedauphinot6820]

The pedal: Jimmie Vaughan’s high school band The Chessmen opened for Hendrix at Will Rogers Coliseum in Fort Worth. Hendrix borrowed Jimmie Vaughan’s pedal because his was broken, and he broke Vaughan’s too. So Hendrix gave his broken pedal to Jimmie Vaughan, who fixed it and gave it to his little brother Stevie because he knew how much he admired Hendrix’s playing. I was lucky and got to see the Vaughan brothers play many times, together and with their respective bands, and Jimmie playing with Double Trouble and Stevie playing with the Thunderbirds, and Jimmie and Stevie playing on the same double-necked guitar. Fabulous Thunderbirds opened for ZZ TOP and The Rolling Stones at The Cotton Bowl in Dallas on Halloween 1981, which was the first time I saw either brother. I was 16 years old. They made a record together which was released right after Stevie died. “Long Way From Home” or “Telephone Song”, please!

[@billc.5861]

Hahaha. Yeah Stevie Ray had that electric twanger thing figured out.

[@danajohnson1189]

His performance with Stevie Wonder was amazing as well as him doing Mary Had Little Lamb

[@judydonaghue-staubs6890]

His guitar is like a natural appendage to his body.

[@ramonalfaro3252]

The worn out laquer and paint is a good indication of why SRV is so good! Another great reaction Britb Pop Bros!!!

[@scotttrainer9704]

Stevie would play behind his head too. Pipeline with his brother is really fun to watch.

[@l.l4456]

When I heard you say your are spotlighting SRV in April I said Woo-hoo! Can't wait for that. I just became a subscriber! There are some great performances to consider: Life Without You from the Capitol Theater, Look At Little Sister from Austin City Limits - the same performance as the previous Voodoo Chile video (he deals with a nightmare onstage situation) Stevie Ray & Jimmy Vaughan playing Pipeline on a double neck from the New Orleans Jazz Festival, Crossfire (a #1 hit on rock radio) live @ Night Music & everything else out there that is a live performance!! You can't go wrong with Stevie. Thanks for another fantastic reaction! Oh one more; Pride & Joy from MTV Unplugged, as you can imagine, he is equally as accomplished on acustic.

[@marvinbone1379]

New subscriber. Croatia. You two listen (intently and fascinated) more than you talk. You can hear and see the influence of Hendrix and BBKIng, in SRV

[@BritPopsReact]

@Marvin Bone Thank you Marvin, we appreciate the support. We do have other SRV reactions and a new one coming out soon. All the best

[@murraytomlinson6562]

I'll be watching for the April Stevie Ray Vaughan reactions. We can give tons of suggestions but I'm sure you both have an idea where you'd like to go with it. The songs from the Capitol Theater were excellent. "Ain't gone and given up on Love" is great. "Life Without You" is another. "Couldn't Stand the Weather" is also amazing. I could go on and on. Just like many of us who have loved SRV for decades. No matter where you go with this, you won't be disappointed. Other songs that highlight his skills are "Testify", Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing" also from the El Mocambo concert, along with "Lenny" from the same show. Standards like "Pride and Joy" and "Crossfire" would be a must. The MTV "Unplugged" performance, the video of Stevie and his brother Jimmy doing "Pipeline" on a double neck guitar is a good one. Enjoy your April venture into all things SRV. I know I will.

[@rickkemp1]

In a recent documentary about Buddy Guy, Guy said that Stevie was the Michael Jordan of Blues.

[@mikefetterman6782]

This was 2 years before Stevie became sober, and according to Tommy Shannon (bass) SRV was in a cocaine induced coma an hour before this show. They had to have medical personnel revive him with IV fluids and vitamins, hence the more than usual notes and sweat that he usually has in this song. The all time greatest guitarist ever.

[@mikefetterman6782]

He does make little flubs here and there, but bends out of it. Clapton, BB, and Albert King all said that Stevie was a "direct channel" to the blues. A neverending catalog of phrases.

[@milo4222]

I'm of the opinion that he was an open "Channel" that tapped into something truly magical thru the Guitar. Others like him were "Hendrix" "Albert Collins" and possibly "Jeff Beck" . There are guitarists who are able to tap into that open path" to something truly other worldly... When you get round to your SRV reviews, pls consider "Lenny" from the El Mocambo show, as well as "Third Stone From the Sun" from the same El Mocambo Show.. I had the pleasure of seeing him in person in 1985 @ the Tower Theatre in Philadelphia PA.. 2nd row .. changed my life .. RIP Stevie
