Drummer reacts to "Mary Had a Little Lamb" (Live) by Stevie Ray Vaughan

[@harrietmiller3982]

🙌👏🎸🎶💙‼️Thanks Lee and there was no doubt you would dig this one💯. Buddy Guy was a huge influence on Stevie and considered him to be one of his best friends. There is a fun jam of those two called Champaign and Reefer (never blocked) at Buddy's Blues Club in Chicago that is great! My daughter and I saw Buddy last summer on his Global Farewell Tour at age 86! Another major influence and mentor to Stevie was Albert King. You can always hear Albert's licks in Stevie's playing once you are familiar with Albert's work. There is a 90 minute video (can watch individual songs) called "In Session" recorded in Canada in 1983 I believe. Never blocked💯‼️. My favorite from that is "Don't Lie To Me" and it shows the relationship those two had and how much love and regard they had for each other. Stevie looked like a kid in a Candy Store jamming with his idol. Albert was known for not liking most people but he loved Stevie❤️❣️👌. So you can pick anything from that session without fear of blocking. Thanks for bringing this today✌️👌👏🙌‼️ we are loving Stevie Sunday🎸🎶💙

I'm so glad you sent this in, Harriet! Stellar performance as always from him. Reese was no joke either! They always bring it.

[@harrietmiller3982]

@@L33Reacts Reece brought so much to the table. A lot like Stevie only on piano🎹. Reece said though he felt like he really had to step up his game when he started playing with Stevie. He upped everyone’s game as his energy just brought out the best in everyone.🎸💙

Celebrating Tommy Shannon's birthday~ here is a quote from Tommy~ Happy 78th Birthday to Tommy Shannon, bassist for Stevie Ray Vaughan's Double Trouble and Johnny Winter! 🎸🔥 "Playin' with Stevie brought up my own playin', brought it up a notch. And just the feeling we all had about the band, well, you know, it was kind of a family thing. He changed my life, he really did. Playin' with him those 10 years was the best of my life" - Tommy Shannon

[@walterfleury3840]

Saw him live in 1989, with Jeff Beck. Put on an amazing show. 35 years later he is still my favorite guitarist.

[@JoeSmith-ey2xp]

Reese does a killer solo, Stevie says "hold my beer".

[@thierrygauvrit8988]

Pour moi , le plus grand guitariste de tous les temps .

[@jeffreywolff329]

Stevie is one of a kind David Gilmour said he could never play like this because his fingers would forget where to go. RIP Stevie Ray

[@mikelundquist4596]

When Stevie hits the gas he goes from 0 to 100 in about .5 seconds.

[@785boats]

Always been a favorite of mine. My dear wife broke down & cried the day he died. She was pregnant at the time & insisted right there that his middle name would be Vaughan. And it is. But let me tell you man, the Spirit of Stevie lives on in Taj Farrant. a 14yo guitarist from down here in Australia. He's been playing covers of the greats since he was 9yo. Also writes his own songs. Check out his channel when you get a chance, Here's a live cover of Stevie's 'Cold Shot'. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4fSkKF_oZqArdU

[@angelmeyers1455]

Yep, if you're having a bad day just watch SRV play his guitar and the day ain't so bad after all.

[@smirkingguru]

Reese Wynans is now playing with Joe Bonamassa ...Check out Arc Angels with Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon on bass and drums after SRV passed away. Great band.

[@bln3576]

He is missed. Saw him in Toronto before his death

[@alpetrocelli4465]

SRV was a guitar genius. Losing him hurt as badly as losing Duane in ‘71. i can only dream about their Heavenly jams.✌️❤️🎶

[@subversivelysurreal3645]

He LOVED EVERYONE ❤️

[@Mrguitarcovers]

I love how you used Sean Mann’s cover as the thumbnail kinda silly but thanks for the reaction this is my fav song by him

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I'm glad that you treasure your sobriety. I think that's great. But I also wouldn't in my mind underplay how fantastic and what a beast Stevie Ray Vaughan was even in the earlier days. It's really just amazing. I'm glad that he got some better serenity in his life before the helicopter crash.

[@irmacavazos8186]

Love him! 82 yrs old. I took a picture with his statue in Austin a few months ago.

[@pommie5093]

Haven't said this yet today so this is a perfect moment to say: SRV=GOAT

[@dreww1609]

Definitely one of his absolute greatest performances - the mastery he had achieved at this point is astonishing every time I see it. His true musicality - raw instincts - refined and heightened. Yeah, the shame, he was a rocket ship that never got to launch, as h wasn't going to satisfied to just hang out and rehash the normal blues, he was evolving into something else, and we'll never see it. But I do nothing but celebrate what he gave us all and miss him.

[@subversivelysurreal3645]

I LOVE SRV and FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA PALESTINE WILL BE FREE! 🇵🇸

[@chitownlee]

You're not alone Lee, I been wondering since the day he died just how much music we were going to miss...

[@ronlyster5667]

Love how Stevie steps back into the rhythm section and gives Reese the spotlight!!

[@midnitesunblues]

Here for Stevie church every Sunday. Wouldn't miss it. Even if you don't do a reaction here to Stevie doing Tin Pan Alley at the '85 Montreux Jazz and Blues festival, watch it for yourself, Lee. It's the one with his friend Johnny Copeland. Of course it would be great to join you seeing it for the first time. You'll never forget it. Thanks for keeping it going. 🎸

[@harrietmiller3982]

I agree! It is a much watch.

[@nancy9891]

There is a statue dedicated to SRV in Austin. It would be worth a trip to see the Austin City Limits stage. Stevie style music 🎶

[@keithr-xj7zx]

This, too me, is his best performance at Austin city limits. He was clean and sober for the first time in his career and his playing showed it. Unfortunately, he passed not to long after this. RIP Stevie. 😢

[@GinMae]

Thanks, L33 - yep, Reese Wynans.. I always notice when he is "done" how he raises his left hand... Such a fun song... appreciate your reaction, as always... and he didn't even break a string here.. but pretty sure this was the same concert where he did break and do the cool guitar switch.. in "look at little sister"...

[@MaraGore-zf2dr]

Don't if you will see this but coming up August 27, 1990 when Stevie was taken away from all of us, he was 35 would be coming up on 70, but these past 34 years can you imagine what more he could of brought to this world......??.....

[@vickihirsch8340]

Willie the Wimp live in Denmark. The whole band having fun doing a tune about a real life Chicago gangster

[@alanbraun1187]

You're right about Reese, he's right up there with Garth Hudson of The Band on key boards. Clean Stevie!!!! Even though we were robbed by that hilo crash, were lucky to have so much recorded music by SRV and Double Trouble so others can see what he was.

[@corawheeler9355]

Every SRV song is amazing

[@stevedahlberg8680]

That was such a delightful reaction. And yeah this song was on his first album and I was so into it right when it first dropped and then I got to see him a couple times and I saw him a third time not long before the helicopter crash. But damn, I love this song so much and you should also check out the album version because it's just so short and sweet and it's a real Sonic statement it really is. And also check out the opening track on that album, testify. It's an instrumental but it is the introduction to the album to his very first album, and you will see why it kicks ass. Like the rest of the album. Anyway I couldn't wait to learn this Riff on the guitar and while I got the rift down pretty quickly, there's just no way to match his experience and talent. At least not for me. And I don't necessarily want to play in that genre anyway? But dang man I have loved him since day one.

[@212x3]

My brother was at his last concert at Alpine Valley. I unfortunately worked that night and didn't go. He still has the concert ticket.

[@patrickcadge-moore6916]

Damn, those keys!

Hello friend, you have to take a look at,,, voddo chile live in cotton club,,, At this show, Srv smokes his cigarette and in the middle of the solo he shakes his hand with a fan but at the same time he continues playing with the other hand and then plays the guitar with his teeth

[@claireburling8547]

The most remarkable artist I've ever seen in my lifetime. THE GOAT.

[@cynthiaseder]

damn straight.

Reese can still play. Reese is in Joe Bonamassa band.

[@italcook1]

I just love this Mary Had a Little Lamb he goes from O to 60. Love that Tisket… Taskit Baby soo cool. Can’t get enough. Every time I get in my car on goes Stevie and he puts me in a very relaxed but happy vibe every time ❤

No guitar player "wrote" this song, its just a blues take on an old nursery rhyme for children

[@justice4all772]

His sound check video is pretty awesome

[@mitzifrancis9843]

I'm so glad you saw this specific performance! This entire show is well worth watching. I especially love Couldn't Stand the Weather, Cold Shot, Tightrope, and Crossfire. At the very top is Riveria Paradise which is magical and a balm for the soul. During Look at Little Sister there's a guitar switch that's impressive. It's so joyful and he's clean and healthy looking. There's a look exchanged between he and Reese that for some reason touches me. So incredibly sad that he was gone so soon after this.. I mentioned it before, but if you haven't already, please, please watch he and Johnny Copeland performing Tin Pan Alley at the Montreux Jazz Festival (even if just on your own, although selfishly I know I'd enjoy seeing you discover that awesomeness!) What a pleasure to come along with you on this journey! I'm 68 and not well. I'm so grateful there's technology like this that enables me to enjoy sharing music with others even though I can't get out and about anymore. My husband was a singer and, of course, many friends over the years were musicians (mostly when I lived in L.A. and Las Vegas). Be well, Lee, and embrace every little moment of joy and meaning. It goes fast! ❤

[@L33Reacts]

A damn shame if there ever has been one worth the word. So sad. But what a shining beacon of light he was while he was here.

[@coinneachmaclellan3121]

I'd swear that I heard some Albert King in Stevie's playing...

You did for sure! Sharp ear🎸🎶💙‼️

[@paulehney4581]

Great performance by all!

[@italcook1]

I highly recommend Dirty Pool in Montreaux in 82 (?) and Montreaux again a few years later for Things That I Used to Do. Both performances he demonstrates that he is a Master and the Tremolo Strumming is Magical!!! Watched those concerts over and over and it makes me verrrry happy 😊😊😊

[@harrietmiller3982]

Hey👌✌️👋. What an introduction! My first time I was so blown away and instantly captured that I can't even remember for sure what song he was playing! I just remember that in the first 30 seconds of watching him play I was so struck by the intimacy of his relationship with that guitar🎸💯. I had never seen anything like that in my life and to this day still haven't! We will get Lee to watch Aint Gone 'N' Give Up On Love at the Capitol Theatre, (our favorite) eventually. Thanks for sharing✌️💙🎶💯

[@lathedauphinot6820]

You know, when SRV & Double Trouble started releasing records, the electric blues were mostly considered music for old folks, except in Austin, Ft. Worth, and a couple other places, where white kids who’d grown up hearing the old blues records were playing, trying to keep it going, and bringing the old, original blues artists, like Muddy Waters, Howlin’Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy, Albert King,… in to play at their new clubs, learning what they could from them and giving some of them an unexpected 2nd career. Stevie and his brother Jimmie were definitely part of that: Muddy Waters himself told Stevie that if he didn’t lay off the cocaine he might not be around too long. Albert King took him under his wing, and when Stevie finally started making some money Albert made sure to ask for some. Fair enough. Jimmie hitchhiked to California to visit Janis Joplin, at her invitation. He was considered maybe the best young rhythm guitarist in Texas, his band had opened for Hendrix in Dallas and Ft. Worth, and he’d gotten a wah pedal from Hendrix, fixed it, and given it to Stevie, who used it all the time until it was stolen. Because of Stevie, mostly, there was a blues revival in the ‘80s in not just the USA but other places too. I’ve seen Stevie play with Buddy Guy, BB King, W.C. Clark, Ernie Isley, Albert Collins,…

[@conniehorton1981]

Great reaction!!! I always look forward to Stevie Sundays❤️❤️❤️

[@jamessomers8808]

I did a final report on the disease concept in college, such as it was in the late 80s. . It was so good. I just used it again the next year. Lol.

SRV changed some of the words... and very appropriately... the lamb described differently... from "white as snow" to "black as coal." Certainly a tribute to the importance of the contributions of Buddy Guy and all the black bluesmen and blueswomen.
