Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble was the band name.

[@keithrogers1096]

"Double Trouble" Is a reference to heroin and cocaine. He was way into the drugs in the early years and cleaned up in the later part.

[@Jaysun1]

Stevie Ray Vaughn is "The GOAT"! What you just witnessed is the greatest guitar performance ever recorded.

[@ManWithoutThePants]

Have you ever seen Lil Wayne play guitar? You might reconsider your opinion.

[@jacobgeist6580]

@@ManWithoutThePants this shit made me shudder. Lil Wayne, in the very act of picking up a guitar, disrespected every guitarist to ever live ranging from the 12 year old at home picking up his dads guitar for the first time, to Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimi Hendrix

[@bostonwhofan]

To me, Stevie Ray's greatest performance was at the 1985 show in Passaic, NJ when he performed "Life Without You". At that gig, SRV actually played the guitar with his teeth at one point. It's off the charts incredible: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoKXg3iPmaieitk

[@onepieceofgumleft]

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jeff Healey “Look At Little Sister”. SRV is a legend worldwide , and Jeff is a legend here in Canada. He was blind , and plays the guitar in a way you’ve probably never seen. RIP to both greats.

[@jeffdoyle4703]

Pretty fair trumpet player too. He loved Jazz. Jeff was amazing.

[@colleenmahony8803]

Jeff Healey should def be on the list!

[@kevinegan8956]

Yep! You can see Stevie Ray watching Jeff Healey note positions.

[@kevinegan8956]

And thank you.

[@RegurgiNate84]

The guy who was in Roadhouse?

[@freckled100]

Is he rock and roll or blues? The answer is: yes.

[@peggygallagher5802]

Both. One of the best concerts I've been to. Stevie doesn't talk much off stage. Cool cat.

[@TexasMagnolia]

One of his most powerful videos is :28 minutes long and its his “Soundcheck”. It is amazing!

[@flawedlife5013]

Damn bro. I gotta take nap. Work at the family cattle ranch. Morning work done. Evening work aint that far away. But had to watch. SRV is one of the GOATS. SRV was what we call Texas blues. RIP Stevie, another one lost before their time should have ended. Thank the Lord for KZbin

Growing up my father had a collection of his concerts on vhs we would listen/ watch once a week.

[@balance667]

Good father

[@loribernardisunwell9663]

Dad's often times pass on good music. I heard so much great music through my dad; ZZ Top, Black Sabbath, SRV, Allman Bros, Skynyrd, Janis and the list goes on... My mom gave me the Everly Brothers and I'm grateful for them too. Different from dad's music for sure, but very talented in their own right. Besides, it's good to be well rounded when it comes to music. There's just too much good music out there to be snobby and miss out!

[@chrisdurham6517]

I saw Stevie Ray at the Universal Amphitheater in LA when I was 19. Like you, I didn't know what to say. I never met him, but I really miss him.

[@fretless05]

The whole album Texas Flood is killer. The song he wrote for his wife Lenny damn near brings me to tears every time I hear it and I've been listening for many years now... he could play blues like nobody else. The guitar, the extra heavy strings, and his dropped tuning just makes his music bleed some powerful emotion.

[@Zhamx2]

I was listening back in the early in the 1980's and he was killing it. He got me through 2 combat tours in Kuwait and Iraq in the first gulf war. I cried the day he died!!!!! You cant change it, you can't rearrange it. Time is all that we got, so baby lets take it!!!!!!!

[@RyGuy-fi4zx]

Amazing song!! One of my favorites actually, It was good to hear your story my friend

[@robertkramer41]

Saw him live, it was awesome, he'd just cleaned up, 12 steppin, then the crash happened up at Alpine Calley, East Troy WI RIP.

[@claytonpaul4259]

Stevie Ray, never met a lick he couldn't make tasty AF! Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble. Stevie was a true disciple of Jimi Hendrix and as others mentioned Albert King. Check out his other Jimi covers in addition to Voodoo Child: Little Wing, Third Stone From the Sun, Red House. then SRVs originals like Cold Shot and Couldn't Stand the Weather and Pride and Joy are all amazing. Tin Pan Alley, Dirty Pool, oof so many. Riviera Paradise. Cross Fire. The Blues is stroooong with you ;)

I saw Stevie who was opening for Ray Charles at Seattle Festival for $7. Didn't know who SRV was but omg we were sweaty messes after his set! We bought tickets for his next tour but he died in a helicopter crash at age 35. Was devastated. Such a presence and a talent. RIP SRV 💞✌🎸

[@billfenton7147]

One thing that people often overlook are Stevie’s band mates, Tommy Shannon on bass and Chris Layton on drums. As a three piece they were TIGHT, and the two of them could not only keep up with SRV, they also helped fill that incredible sound.

[@TheBlueDogMan]

An often overlooked fact. Tommy and Chris are greats too.

[@edhuskins171]

SRV was a blues guy, through and through. He could play rock, funk...really, any style, but blues was his sweet spot. A good early example for Stevie playing something outside of blues is “Let’s Dance” by David Bowie. SRV did the guitars on that tune.

[@MattKrogmeier]

Oh! He could also do surf rock! There’s a great version of the surf classic “Pipeline” done by SRV and Dick Dale.

[@gmandersonjr]

He played most of the tracks on the Lets Dance album.

@@brucesmith54 Stevie was a passionate, modest man who played what he felt. This concert was recorded in ‘83 as Spandau Ballet, Culture Club, and Prince doin’ Little Red Corvette crap was hitting big. You should probably stick with that kind of music, Brucie, because you obviously don’t understand electric blues.

Someone once said that SRV plays the guitar like it owes him money. No mercy.

[@Cashcrop54]

For sure there was no body better than Stevie. I love how he starts off playing your basic blues riff but then just uncorks it and heads of into the most amazing runs all up & down the fretboard. Its totally unique. Thanks for the best reaction!! What can you say! He says it...all!

[@scottinman0426]

Cant help but love how he's pouring everything he has into the guitar. A true legend!

[@agordon7369]

He plays over his head, with his teeth, and backwards in front of him as well basically the guitar is in front but facing him. Checkout “little sister” I believe from capitol theater in Texas he has an amazing guitar switch after he breaks the string and you can’t even tell just by listening he had to switch guitars

[@craigwoodfolk3240]

I was fortunate enough to Stevie Ray Vaughn twice. The last time I saw him was August 18, 1988 at Merriweather Post Pavilion, in Columbia, MD. Two years later on August 28, 1990 he died in a helicopter crash. His performances were a sight to behold.

[@yotaman2112]

If you really want to hear Stevie play a “ grown up” song you have to watch and listen to Riviera Paradise, live in Austin ,Texas. It’s a whole different vibe to his playing. It doesn’t have his usual shredding or upbeat music, but it will make you appreciate him at another level with his tone and composition of this song. Just “watch and listen”.

[@3SeveredHeads]

Eyes closed n away he goes! Even if his heads down an seems like he might be looking at his fingers...he's normally got his eyes closed ....dont think he's showing off Stevie just did what came natural to him and transcends to another realm....ur reaction is quite normal lol Yet he's not often even mentioned in a top 10 best ever guitarists!!!!!! The GOAT...RIP Stevie 🤟🏼💞

[@leerobertson868]

This transports me to a old smokey bar in New Orleans. I would've loved to had seen this man in the flesh. Legend

[@armadillotoe]

You can see the soul drops running down his face. I love the way he steps up to the microphone wanting to sing, and his body just won't let him stop playing guitar. Seeing him live wasn't a concert, it was a life experience.

[@shaitanlavey]

[@r.trenary4589]

His band was named Double Trouble. He played with his brother, Jimmie who was also in the Fabulous Thunderbirds which is another fanatic band you should check out. Nick Curran (another insanely talented guitar player whose life was cut way too short) also played in the Thunderbirds for a while.

[@angelabarazzone7899]

He couldn’t even read music and was self taught. Hung out in bars and venues where all the greats played and learned from them. He played better behind his back than some do in front.

[@Pappysjuice]

[@toddberry2802]

Im glad you did a reaction to this video because you witnessed the best guitar player that ever lived. He picked up where Jimi left off. Whats a trip is that Stevie and the best crooner that ever lived, Luther Vandross spent a lot of time in the beginning of their careers with a dude named David Bowie. God blesses us every 30 years or so with a single person that is heads and shoulders above everybody in their line of work, hence, Stevie Ray, Luther, Michael Jordan, Miles Davis, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Michael Jackson and list list is short but it goes on. Its just very sad that God usually calls the folks home early, Stevie at 35, Luther at 50, Michael jackson at 50, Miles at 61, etc.

[@damonbryan7232]

"Is he a rock an roll or a blues player?" SRV; YES The bands name is "Double Trouble" Check out Pride an Joy Tightrope If the House is a Rock'n Check out he's smoothest guitar switch. In the middle of a song. After he broke strings.

[@theinsaneshecklador6598]

You probably already know this but Voodoo Chile was a Jimi Hendrix song that Stevie was covering. That's why that one sounds more rock and roll. Stevie could play it all but he is mostly a blues musician.

[@OlettaLiano]

Stevie was 100% blues. Black, white, it don't matter. We're all brothers and sisters, and soul is universal. The playing behind the back bit was fun. Reminds me of Hendrix playing the guitar with he teeth and behind his head. Peace, love, and health to all.

His main influences were Jimi Hendrix who showed what you could do with a Fender Stratocastor and several American blues guitarists like BB King and Albert King to name just two.

[@richardmodglin3900]

Its just strait up legitimate. Staring at those fingers mastering every note so effortlessly is intoxicating. The ticket price paid to witness such talent becomes irrelevant about two minutes in to the show. Its 100% stand out!
