[@R8drdave]

Yes the greatest guitarist period

[@jb0915]

Absolutely agreed

[@kurtschmidt9760]

Right R8

[@dignan4]

Right all three y’all

[@enderwiggin5572]

No if and or buts about it! He’s the GOAT!

[@JohnWarner-lu8rq]

No, he's the top Blues guitarist ever. He could make love to and f*ck his guitar in the same song. There are others in different genres that are as good. Even considering the Blues, Gary Moore was quite close to Stevie. RIP to both. Tommy Emmanuel is the GOAT acoustic guitar player.

[@elizabethquinn8477]

I cannot get enough of reactors seeing SRV play behind his back for the first time in their lives. I get to relive it through them over and over again.

[@nightcitypunk8517]

RIP Stevie. GOAT. Nobody but Stevie plays with that much soul.

[@23gobears]

Stevie is arguably one of the greatest ever. He used to play until the callus's on his fingers would fall off. Then he'd super glue them back on and keep playin! True Legend. ☝🏼🙏🏼👊🏼

[@mkelly1347]

Saw him at Anotones in Austin, split a finger wide open on a nasty slide. Finished the song and on the side of the stage, he SUPER GLUES his cut. Ran an emery board over it and started playing agin. Like it aint no thing.

[@derekhoover5304]

​@@mkelly1347the coke also helped.

[@kestrelle5345]

I think it was Jeff beck that said that SRV could bend a sewer pipe half an octave.

[@88pjtink]

And Jeff Beck is possibly the only guitarist that I even put in Stevie's class.

[@vanessarupe2039]

He was the GOAT. You should check out “Life Without You”, Live at the Capitol Theater. Also, Tin Pan Alley. ✌🏻❤️

[@alanberg5575]

Yes, the greatest guitar performance ever captured on film. It had all the elements: fantastic technical precision, incredible tone, tremendous feeling, spectacular showmanship, and unparalleled physicality. One has to understand that he did this on a guitar with extremely heavy-gauged strings and high action! What I love most about Stevie, however, is that he was a sweet and humble man. Thank God for the wonderful legacy that he left---as a musician AND as a person!

[@jeffgayler9404]

He's in a class all by his self . Unbelievable talent

[@srv2217]

Its always hard to quantify one person as the GOAT but Stevie gets a seat at the table FOR SURE

[@mslisadianemorse]

My husband and I don’t agree on a ton of music, but THIS MAN we agree completely on.

[@karenmandeville7116]

nobody had a better stank face than SRV!! man, i miss him.

[@l.l4456]

Behind the back, behind his head, with his teeth, on the floor riding the guitar like a surfboard & playing it at the same time. You name it, he did it! There certainly are a lot of great players but only one SRV! Can you imagine what he would have done if he had more than 7 yrs of a mainstream career?? God must have needed guitar lessons.

[@mariawren2489]

Yes! Greatest ever! The one and only Stevie Ray Vaughan! ❤

[@momma_red4610]

The look on your face when he played the guitar behind his back. PRICELESS. Welcome to SRV.

[@denisepoole5838]

Yes, Stevie Ray Vaughan was the Greatest! Check out Tim Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland

[@johnroberts5637]

There wasn't no half steppin' at a Stevie Ray Vaughn show, he gave it all to you every time out. Shout out to the rest of the band, they were no slouches either.

[@wolfe6220]

They couldn't be, they had to keep up with Stevie Ray! 😊

[@Cautionary_Tale_Harris]

Chris Layton, the drummer, is still playing with Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Saw them a few months back and he's still got it for real.

[@Soulreaver6]

I think Reese plays for Bonamassa

[@jackedwards7420]

Stevie Ray even tore up and spit out a nursery rhyme and did it with his typical style! Mary Had a Little Lamb will never be the same!!

[@23gobears]

Brotha, you better lay a tarp down!!! Stevie Ray Vaughan is a waterfall of ORANGE JUICE 🍊🍊🍊

[@srv2217]

This entire concert is GOATED. Right up there with Hendrix at the Fillmore East

[@V12BenzAMG]

Srv = 🐐.....speed, accuracy, soul, channeling pure raw talent...unmatched

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I can't remember which one, but there is another popular live video of him where he's playing the song and he breaks a string, and the stage tech brings out a replacement and the transition between the two guitars is just flawless while he maintains his guitar flow. It's pretty mind-blowing.

[@robincochran7369]

That would be "Look at Little Sister" from Austin City Limits (1989).

[@wolfe6220]

How about where he's playing Voodoo Child, a guy comes up to the stage with his hand out, Stevie shakes his hand for a good 10-15 seconds, while still playing...

[@podtrooper3219]

Best comment I ever saw, was "Listening to SRV, is basically like drinking the Blues from a fire hydrant". Stevie has a permanent seat at the guitar gods table. Along with B.B. King, Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Roy Clark, Frank Zappa and Brian May.

[@violetflame23]

I'd add Gary Moore and Jeff Healey to the list of guitar gods.

[@jeggy7447]

You're not a real reactor till you've seen this performance of the "Greatest" !!! Excellent reaction AB , Thank You .

[@R8drdave]

Life without you from capital theater. Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland. Born under a bad sign Albert king and Stevie

[@ednahighsmith7268]

He could play rhythm and lead at the same time. Genius

[@Pitmaster790]

"Look at Little Sister" with Stevie and Jeff Healey.

[@022171]

Hearing SRV play is mind blowing. WATCHING SRV play is transcendent.

[@claranielsen3382]

You just witnessedthe best in Texas blues. SRV was definitely the greatest of all time. I was fortunate enough to have met him several times. He was one of the nicest and most humble people you could ever meet. I absolutely loved your reaction! ❤❤

[@GinMae]

Thanks AB - this is widely known as one of his most iconic performances.. SRV-GOAT... not much else to say... appreciate your reaction!

[@sherylnsc]

I remember where I was when he died. I was listening to him at work and I knew the world had lost the best guitarist of my lifetime. I love him and hope to see him in heaven.❤❤❤

[@kikivon3501]

Ok we ALL know he’s the greatest!!!! Now let’s talk about SRV’s style. He dressed like that ALL the time. If you caught him at the grocery store on a Sunday morning he’d be wearing the same type clothes. He owned his style!!!!

[@mkelly1347]

Ole boy is getting excited about the INTRO!

[@vickihirsch8340]

A quote from BB King " Ive always said that playing the blues was like being black twice. Stevie missed on both coints, but I never noticed".

[@CuzKatieSaysSo]

I spent the better part of this evening choked up and in tears watching Toby Keith reactions, including yours, and then this came up on my feed. Stevie was so loved also, and his death so tragic. He died August 27, 1990, only about a 30 minute drive from where I live here in Wisconsin from a helicopter crash, taking off when it was way too foggy. Heartbreaking. The band in Heaven just keeps getting bigger and bigger. RIP Stevie 💔 RIP Toby

[@pennyhill7680]

Absolutely Priceless Reaction! Thank You for THIS! Much peace and love to you and your family❤

[@beachbumseaglass]

The greatest period. Ain't nobody can play like this, then, now or ever.

[@mrpotatohead2993]

LOL. walk it off,walk it off You made my morning,thanks for posting

[@davidilbery3330]

Greatest guitar player ever in my opinion. BB King said that SRV was his favorite player. That's the highest compliment a blues guitarist could ever get.

[@AJ........]

This was the appropriate reaction to seeing this performance..like disbelief and can't even put it into words because you need a few to process what you just saw

[@Rubytuesday1569]

Saw Stevie perform shortly before his death... Unforgettable, all these years later. RIP SRV 🎸🕊️

[@paulwhite5840]

SRV is the pinnacle of blues guitar.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

What's amazing to me is that he played really heavy gauge strings which at once speaks to his finger strength, but even then, he broke lots of strings.

[@wolfe6220]

And a guitar neck or two.

[@chrissmith7669]

Lol. I heard some reviewer say he strung his guitar with barded wire. Lol

[@michaelroot4051]

I think you have the best reaction to this by far . Your awesome

[@pamela1144]

Love him😍 Saw him 3 times live!! Miss him everyday 😢

[@lawrencebeardsworth1943]

Greatest reaction to this song I've ever scene.

[@loveloochay]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎸🎩🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 . Yeppp .. and .. yepppppppp !!! I am so glad you finally got to this one AB. I don't even know why people debate.. he IS the greatest. I saw him live in 1985 .. and he is the greatest. I wish he had played this song for an hour. If you want to see something a little softer, but still out of this world. Try "Lenny" .. he wrote it for his beautiful girlfriend. He is so inspiring and beyond talented.. Thank you AB .. fire !! 🔥🔥🔥🎩🔥🔥🔥🎩🔥🔥🔥

[@jamesbrackett575]

Lenny is absolutely beautiful when it comes to talent SRV has no boundaries greatest of all time

[@debbiegrubb6235]

Actually, he wrote it for his wife at the time, Lenny.

[@loveloochay]

@@debbiegrubb6235 correct !!!! Thanks for the correction. Rock on 🎼🎼🎼

[@zacharywood6138]

Greatest for sure, he really was in touch with the heart and soul of music.😊. So fun to watch.

[@seandobson6221]

10:41 the moment you truly figured out that SRV is truly the GOAT

[@jrag9435]

Man, AB…. What you are listening to there is Texas mutha-fukin blues at its mutha-fukin peak.

[@staceyglaunert3770]

No question!🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

[@bryanguthrie-ej1fb]

Absolutely the GOAT

[@chadleabo]

I was lucky enough to see him on his last tour in 1990. It was mindblowing. My buddy and I had great seats and sat there speechless after the show for a few minutes, marveling at what we'd just witnessed.

[@trudogg630]

Stevie is the man…. Always

[@S-and-D]

I could listen to him all day. National treasure gone too soon .

[@derekhoover5304]

Stevie played with 13 gauge guitar strings. He used to super glue his fingertips back together because he said it made them harder. He was a different breed.

[@xavierhenriques1116]

Stevie made a deal with the devil! No one knows what Stevie got out of the deal, but the devil got guitar lessons.

[@ginger1860]

Saw him live in a little club called The Chance in Poughkeepsie, NY, in July 1983! AMAZING!! If you've never seen ERUPTION by Eddie Van Halen ... you've left a deprived life! 😉

[@michaeltaylor8835]

Dude was so strong

[@RoSaWa386-33]

SRV had a vow to use his modern equipment to deliver the best Jimi Hendrix music possible. It was his mission to represent Jimi so perfectly.

[@daveking9393]

So happy to find this in your playlist. Joining because your playlist is so well done. Thanks for sharing!

[@LJA46]

Your eyes and your mind have been blessed to see and hear this. Jeff Healy- See the Light is a must!!!

[@karenginnotti1100]

LOVE LOVE LOVE STEVIE RAY🎸💜 🎸

[@johnroop9625]

"Tightrope" Live,1989

[@SouthernArtist77]

Saw it live, in person. So good.

[@sherriblack53]

This man was amazing. Lost too soon. Check out little sister. Or the fastest guitar change DURING A SHOW LOL

[@margaretroswell111]

I was at this show. It was one of the greatest shows I’ve ever seen. I wanted to name my first born after him, needless to say my hubby didn’t feel the same. I cried when he died.

[@janiceruth5692]

GOTTA watch video of him playing 'Look At Little Sister' in Austin, Tx live - his guitar string breaks & his assistant does an incredible swap without missing a beat -too crazy cool & great song!!

[@pahasapaman]

The man used to play until his finger ends were bleeding and stopped between songs and used crazy glue to glue his finger tips back and kept on playing.

[@TeamEMPYT]

If you want to hear his guitar really cry, check out his performance Life Without You at the Capitol Theater, so beautiful.

[@gunboatwillie8536]

Saw him Live back in 84. Without a doubt, One of the best shows I have ever seen. If you think that is wild to see on video, imagine Live!!

[@joeholahan7619]

RIP SRV miss you every day!

[@russellsmith2409]

He was a peak level musician

[@jackscott5593]

SRV ~ 🎸🐐 The goatiest goat in all of goatness

[@johnsifredi]

The GOAT .

[@humpy936]

Bwahahahaha!😂 he busted a lot of strings, there’s quite a few videos here on KZbin where he changes out his guitar without missing a beat. Check out “life without you” at the capital Theatre for your next SRV adventure!

[@francesmarinapatarangawhik4702]

SRV Texas Flood 🔥🔥and yes AB behind the back, an amazing guitarist...Peace👍☝️😌

[@markburke6365]

You are so funny got me laughing weeee!

[@paulbeatham6530]

If you haven't seen the live performance of "Look at Little Sister" when he's joined on stage by the blind Jeff Healey, you must.

[@minniekline5408]

Love your reactions. SRV is the goat of all Goats. ❤

[@karenlaneville8074]

The Greatest ❤

[@lindaherr8307]

He was an open channel❤❤❤

[@jb0915]

I met his brother who is talented. Me and my uncle did some chrome work for a car for Jimmy Vaughn he was touring with Jimmy Vaughan and the fabulous thunderbirds

[@chriscatherine5151]

Welcome to the SRV fan club!

[@tricitymorte1]

Every time Stevie played, the guitar needed a cigarette when he was done. He made guitars do things guitars didn't know they could do. He knew his instruments inside and out, understood exactly how they worked, and played around figuring out how to manipulate them.

[@johnlacombe8175]

The greatest ever.

[@jarrodpitts5632]

@abthekreator something that makes this evenmore amazing is that probably 60% of this song he was making up on the spot. go listen to the studio release of this song and most of what you hear in this concert release isnt there is the studio version. the man was absolutely insane at guitar.

[@JohnGunn-o6l]

Underrated little known Gary Richraft flying turkey trot live REO Speed wagon guitar solo best ever try it early 70s mind blowing

[@paulacook9450]

Not only does he play behind his back most people don't notice that he unplugged his guitar and plugged back in once it was behind his back.

[@paulmeyer9255]

That's a lot of freaking orange juice coming from that guitar. Omg.

[@karenginnotti1100]

☹️this Magnificent Man was taken away Way too soon🎸😇🎸GOD BLESS HIM😇

[@MrBPC76]

“When I play, I play sort of like talking, you know, syllables, you say a sentence here, a sentence there and then, I’ve to stop and think for something else to keep my conversation going. But his didn’t seem to be that at all. It was fluent, he flowed when he played. He could get something going and it was like a song and it would just go on and on. Ideas continuously flowed, I don’t have that. There is not a lot of people that I hear that have that but Stevie had it.” - BB King

[@URnickel_MY2cents]

True that !!!

[@paulacook9450]

The greatest of all time. No doubt

[@redrum482]

GOATed. Greagt reaction!

[@tylerd132]

I wish I could’ve seen him play. I was about 3 or 4 when he passed away unfortunately

[@matthewgenyas4454]

I agree with your thumbnail… yes he was and still is

[@michaelheck1257]

BEST reaction EVER!!!😂

[@artshidler151]

Yes he is!!!! The greatest ever

[@starfire6122]

🔥🔥reaction!! Next react to Life Without You live at The Capitol Theatre and Tin Pan Alley live with Johnny Copeland!!✌️💞

[@terryconnelly484]

While he spun around he had to unplug the auxiliary cord and plug it back in while turning the guitar backwards without missing a beat

[@James-zw4tn]

When he plays behind his back he's actually scratching his ass.

[@elizabethluker8356]

The absolute best

[@johnalexander3629]

You really need to see Taj Farrant. A 15 year old blues prodigy who will absolutely blow your mind. He's touring the USA at the moment with a band of older blues musicians. Do yourself a favour and check him out.
