Metal Biker Dude Reacts - MBDR SRV Johnny Copeland Tin Pan Alley REACTION

[@michaelrompf7239]

That is the old guard passing the torch you will never see this again

[@judyisbell]

That performance of Tin Pan Alley was a master class in blues. Every musician on that stage was present and in the moment, with Stevie and Johnny just flying with that tight rhythm section as their wings. Kudos forever to Chris Whipper Layton on drums, Tommy Shannon on bass, and Reese Wynans on keyboards.

[@michaelobrien8219]

an amazing band - always ready - always an invisible force

[@davidblythe4103]

Hi from Canada. I stumbled onto SRV by chance 6 months ago on KZbin and have listened to him every day since. I am 70 yrs old and have loved most types of music throughout my life and unbelievably I missed this great artist, don’t ask me how. Thank goodness for KZbin . Really like your reaction especially when giving your technical knowledge on Stevie ‘s playing.

[@jackniederberger1591]

David Blythe I can say the same, but I’m 16 I never stopped listening to him ab 3 months ago is when I found him on KZbin

[@robertpiekosz7470]

Glad you both found him. I'm lucky enough to have seen him about 5 or six times. I had tickets for his last performance at Alpine Valley, but gave them to my brother in law because my wife and I went to Buddy Guy's Legend's club. Buddy, Clapton, SRV, and his brother Jimmy, were All going back to the club after the show for a big jam session. Lots of big players were already there: Dave Mason, Willie Dixon, Carlos Santana, Junior Wells. They were jamming all evening waiting for around midnight. Then we got word that they won't be coming. Wasn't till about an hour later we were told that Clapton's helicopter crashed. Didn't find out details about Stevie till morning. I was in shock. I was a Clapton nut since my teens and I thought SRV was from another Galaxy. He was the sweetest guy. Biggest loss to music in my opinion.

[@pamela1144]

Stevie Ray has ALWAYS been our man, the man!! Love, love love him. Everyday, miss him terribly.

[@RMLtiger]

I know this is a pretty long post but please read the following quote by Eric Clapton on SRV’s greatness. This tells us everything we need to hear.... Eric Clapton: I don't think anyone has commanded my respect more, to this day. The first time I heard Stevie Ray, I thought, "Whoever this is, he is going to shake the world." I was in my car and I remember thinking, I have to find out, before the day is over, who that guitar player is. That doesn't happen to me very often, that I get that way about listening to music. I mean, about three or four times in my life I've felt that way, in a car, listening to the radio, where I've stopped the car, pulled over, listened, and thought, I've got to find out before the end of the day, not, you know, sooner or later, but I have to know NOW who that is. ...and I remember being fascinated by the fact that he never, ever seemed to be...lost in any way...It was as though he never took a breather...or took a pause to think where he was gonna go next, it just flowed out of him. It's going to be a long time before anyone that brilliant will come along again. I didn't get to see or hear Stevie play near often enough, but every time I did I got chills and knew I was in the presence of greatness.He seemed to be an open channel and music just flowed through him. It never seemed to dry up. I have to tell this story: We played on the same bill on his last two gigs. On the first night, I watched his set for about half an hour and then I had to leave because I couldn't handle it!. I knew enough to know that his playing was just going to get better and better. His set had started, he was like two or three songs in, and I suddenly got this flash that I'd experienced before so many times whenever I'd seen him play, which was that he was like a channel. One of the purest channels I've ever seen, where everything he sang and played flowed straight down from heaven. Almost like one of those mystic Sufi guys with one finger pointing up and one finger down. That's what it was like to listen to. And I had to leave just to preserve some kind of sanity or confidence in myself.

[@RLfromTexas1]

RMLtiger when Stevie went too London.... Clapton was in the front row, after the concert was over , he was asked what he thought and he said I need to retire...

[@williamcabell142]

RMLtiger AMEN AND AMEN!!!!!!

[@jamesgarner4127]

RMLtiger where did you find this quote?

[@cra-craintenn6327]

Another quote by Clapton from his interview in Rolling Stone magazine October 17, 1991 regarding Stevie's death and last performance: "The worst thing for me was that Stevie Ray had been sober for three years and was at his peak. When he played that night, he had all of us standing mere with our jaws dropped. I mean, Robert Cray and Jimmie Vaughan and Buddy Guy were just watching in awe. There was no one better than him on this planet. Really unbelievable."

[@owenwhitfield9475]

Texas Flood- Live at el mocambo You're welcome

[@davidshockley2383]

Stevie was taken from us way too soon. I thought he really let Jonny Copeland's guitar playing shine. True master class type stuff from both of them.

[@BarbButler]

💕 💞 💓 💗 💖

[@janawebb6490]

You are witnessing the greatest of all time he was truly on another level can't be touched

[@leechristopher3187]

Of all the reaction videos seen to this collaberation...you, good sir, are the first to nail it completely down. Stevie was good as a soloist yet he seemed to climb to an even higher plain when playing with one of his inspirations, as Copeland was.

[@BarbButler]

💕 💞 💓 💗 💖

[@anthonyscott4547]

He saw Copeland in the crowd and pulled him up on stage for 3 songs. And Copeland mad up those lyrics off the cuff. Master musicians having fun doing what they love to do

[@nethanelmasters5170]

Love how Stevie stands back and lets Johnny Copeland have his solo's and runs. Stevie dose the same thing when he plays with BB King and again with Albert King.

[@sheehy933]

To get the true measure of SRV you have to watch his live videos. While his studio recorded releases are good, his live audio/video recordings are what convey and preserve his greatness for all time. His absolute mastery of the blues guitar coupled with his unpolished yet spot on and sincere vocals make SRV the epitome of a bluesman.

[@TheBlaster54]

Stevie was the “Lord High Exalted Mystic Master of the Stratocaster”. Jimmy opened the door. Stevie kicked it wide open.

[@conniewhittington3635]

PERFECTION! They’re playing together in heaven now. ❤️😰

[@judyisbell]

Stevie is playing a Strat-style Danelectro built for him by his good friend Charley Wirz in 1984. It was forever known as "Charley" in his line-up of guitars.

[@judyisbell]

I understand Charley made an identical Strat for Jimmie and they both played those guitars at Charley's funeral.

[@sandrasmith7501]

SRV's the G.O.A.T., and Johnny, when he opens his mouth and works that fretboard, it brings out the stank on everybody's face...including yours, LOL! Great reaction.

[@colinl4671]

Not forgetting the other band members, they were all amazing, keyboard man was perfecto 'low key fire' complemented it perfectly. Drums and bass man were brilliant too, kept it all flowing beautiful tempo while keeping the 2 main men in the highlight. Just an amazing set, I soooo wish I could have been there. Some lucky people that night.

[@deannacrownover3]

I tell you what, the fact that this performance was not the number one choice in the polls proves that people haven't heard enough music! I was a fan of Johnny Copeland before anyone knew who Stevie Ray Vaughan was! Then, in 1987, I was fortunate enough to see him in Daytona Beach! This is my number one favorite KZbin video and I have watched it hundreds of times! You don't get to see greatness together on stage like this often! ( KZbin will not allow me to share the link but, look for Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert King special. It's an hour and a half long so, I'm not suggesting you react to it but, it shows you the relationship he had with some of the greatest blues artists of all time! Edit: "I was listening to the lyrics and they're a little bit depressing..." Yup...That's why it's called Blues! There are some really good Johnny Copeland playlist on KZbin. He does some really gritty Texas Blues. Both SRV and Johnny Copeland are from Texas and have a very similar approach to their art. Texas Blues has also been called Dirty Blues because it's hard and gritty.

[@thepolishshop]

Man oh man. You can definitely feel the soul and the passion. Whewww

[@leechristopher3187]

Probably my favorite of SRV...pure Blues and enjoyment between two masters.

[@richardbishop44]

Montreux is where Stevie made his bones. Johnny Copeland was a legendary Texas bluesman, but with this song, you can witness the passing of the torch.

[@TheBlaster54]

Stevie was a guitar savant. He had an intimate relationship with his ax like no other.

[@ginger4141]

Hell yeah!!!!!! RIP two of the greats.

[@MosaicRose99]

SRV is addictive and I don't want a cure....

[@ttrocks5985]

Hell yeah!

[@ericaveillette6388]

I could listen to this all damn day. Top notch stuff 😍🙏

[@jgordon5316]

Saw SRV live and he was always top shelf on stage. Now if you really want to see a lick laid down on a strat? SRV and his brother did Pipeline on the doubleneck live together....just melts your mind! get a chance to catch his inauguration lineup or his soundcheck they are incredible as well. SRV live is the only way to watch any of his stuff......And I'm on a shortbus to hell if I don't mention Lenny...true artistry there.

[@cathiekuypers9322]

you defiantly need to hear Texas Flood , saw him 8 times loved every show NEVER ever let his fans down

[@RMLtiger]

I keep looking back at your channel hoping you’d react to Texas Flood Live at El Macombo! Performance is mind blowing!

[@theohioshirey]

Of all his Texas Flood videos, the one I love most is at the blues festival and kills from the first note. He owned that show, but didn't strut or show off. He always had relationships with his guitars, music and songs. You can see it in how he plays and his face and body moves. I'm a singer, songwriter, guitar player and don't make those faces, because I don't play that good! It's great to see a master at his craft, gently coaxing jazz riffs with Riviera Paradise, or beating and bending it into submission like he does with so many songs. There are few artists that I enjoy watching as much as I do Stevie. I tell everyone who comes to me for advice, DON'T play or sing a song. Let the song play, breathe and sing THROUGH you and take you wherever it wants you to go. And that's exactly what he does. He was better than an incredibly talented musician. He was a truly amazing, gifted Artist... Thanks for the memories Stevie, I pray you play where Angels sing...

[@chuckbradley5389]

SRV is playing with one of his idols.

[@Pilot545]

SO glad you came back to react to this vid! SOOOO many good ones! This is among the top...especially when you add Johnny Copeland in the mix! Love your reaction vids, brother! 👍🏼

[@roadsterman]

Trying to explain SRV or Johnny Copeland is impossible! LOL

[@ronniecorbett6306]

Now that's a beautiful thing right there. SRV is the best.

[@patron40silver]

He's been my favorite for a long time.

[@viviandarkbloom100]

Props to Double Trouble too. Layton, Shannon and Wynans. They backed SRV perfectly.

[@rigsby556]

one of the best things about this is he kept it restrained, it was about him and Copeland not just him. self restraint and a lot of respect were shown by stevie.

[@desertrat4453]

SRV paid homage to the blues greats and loved to share the stage with them. BB, Albert King and Johnny. That performance was at the Montreux Jazz festival, the year before he performed there to boos but met guys that helped advance his career.

[@BarbButler]

💕 💞 💓 💗 💖

[@jimithy47]

I happened across your channel and your were doing a reaction to SRV / Johnny Copeland and was curious to see what you thought. I liked when you commented 'let it not be said etc., etc. I thought hmm wonder if he's familiar? If not this might turn out to be for his personal enjoyment. SRV was a musical genius with a guitar that was an extension of him. BTW I loved your reaction, it is always so great watching first timers. I still get goose bumps upon goose bumps every time.

[@williamcabell142]

Hammond organ!!! With a Leslie!!!! Great sound that you just don't hear anymore. S.R.V. is just the perfect exclamation point on the blues!!!!

[@williamcabell142]

JoPa GeRi yeah! I know I just caught that. 😂😂😂😂 I guess I am a bit dyslexic?👍👍👍

[@davemadman7093]

Old school playing from the masters 😀🤙ultimate jam session from stevie ray and Johnny copeland. 👋👋👋👋👋

[@shirleymuhleisen683]

SRV Guitar Hero. He really is incredibly versatile and mind blowing. Can be really sweet folksy on a 12 string “Life by the Drop”, to R&R like “Love Struck Baby”; Hendrix like “Little Wing/Voodoo; my favorite blues “Aint Gone N Give Up on Love” (Daytona Beach); to pure rocket fuel “Couldn’t Stand the Weather” (Capitol Theater 1985 version esp): 😎🎸

[@garywilliamson1859]

Being from Texas I've seen Stevie Ray Vaughn in concert several times. After every show I was totally blown away by the skill Stevie Ray displayed. I have all of his CD'S and still listen to him regularly. Stevie Ray is gone but his music will live on forever. RIP Stevie!

[@grimmj0ker]

Stevie didn't play the Blues....He WAS the Blues.....

[@simonjohn151]

So much soul

[@BarbButler]

💕 💞 💓 💗 💖 Two. Texas. Legends. RIP...

[@joegutierrez7310]

Every time I hear SRV makes me wanna smoke a joint and drink some scotch 👌🏼🥃

[@RLfromTexas1]

Joe Gutierrez it’s a tradition in Texas, cold drinks and a hot one

[@joegutierrez7310]

I am born and raised in the 806 LBK homie I already know that rule 👍🏼

[@RLfromTexas1]

Joe Gutierrez I know that’s right

[@ifiperson]

Got the green, no scotch. I'm sure I'll make do. RIP SRV, and thank you for the continuous memories.

[@TheBlaster54]

This was a master class on how to play blues with soul.

[@mr.h.36]

if this doesn't get in your soul i don't know what will.....

[@kenlivengood3743]

Saw him live three times always left me in shell shock. 1st time he went and set on the edge of the stage and jammed for along time. Just melted the place. 3rd and last drove 7 1/2 hours see him play in TN.

[@SirThomas_II]

3:15 as you're praising his vocals I'm excited like a child thinking "wait until he gets the the "whiskey, wine and gin" part. I felt every word

[@GBTrieff]

Had to watch that twice...wow...Had the great fortune of seeing SRV twice...I was in awe....little did I realize how fleeting his star would be...

[@acjordangaming52]

Fucking chills. Love SRV

[@dukeravenshadow5532]

The lipstick pickups with such great tone and response. ;)

[@GinMae]

Thanks, Metal - this is astonishing, right? I appreciate your reaction... I hope you have some more reactions to SRV, et al... with other artists like Jeff Healey.. and his regular band.. especially keyboardist Reese Wynans... look forward to more ...

[@tboudreau5239]

Crying at the fantasticness! Saw him in concert once. Unbelievably crappy. Till he came out after and plugged in and sat cross legged in the middle of the the stage and played for 2 hrs. GAWD!!

[@georgekenny2294]

Best I've ever seen!!! I saw him twice the summer before he passed. He set his guitar on fire during both shows. I have seen NO clips of this on youtube, so that might be something worth looking for. Nice job with your videos. Also look for ACID BATH and GOATWHORE. Cannibal Corpse is on the top of my list also. Good luck.

[@muffin6369]

Johnny Copeland is among the greats that white blues players like Stevie fucking REVERED!!! Just like Eric with BB King. Fucking idolized them. The younger black players didn't pay much attention to all that..... doing Motown etc they didn't really care about Robert Johnson but the white players (like the English players) also just fucking loved these older black players that started to all. BUT Stevie.....Stevie was on a plane by himself. No one like Stevie NO ONE and as Stevie would say FOR REAL!

[@jgordon5316]

SRV had some chops, but his guitar grabs your soul and has a conversation. Johnny Copeland had serious vocals, but his playing was very minimal by comparison. Complimented each other exceptionally well. Gotta see the Al King/SRV Texas Flood full session. Stevie plays down and just lets Al have at it. Simply incredible.

[@TheTektronik]

He did collaborate with Albert King as well.

[@frosty92314]

I've won some kids over to SRV just by playing his music at my work.

[@proclaimthenameofjesus1707]

I'm diggin your reaction channel boss! Great job breakin it down!

[@collettedobrocke4518]

All I can say is amazing

[@leechristopher3187]

This was "going to church".

[@davidbe7439]

This is Blues Church...so beautiful and moving...

[@jofrigi]

MBDuuuuuude that's fire 🔥🔥🔥 thx for showing off

[@russellbarlow1796]

August 25th 1990 music changed forever this dude Is a legend 1985 had better sound then today by far. SRV was so dedicated he would practice until the calluses came off his fingertips and he would glue them back on. No one will ever replicate him

[@Gort-Marvin0Martian]

Texas blues! Sadly both gone.

[@TrulyUnfortunate]

Gotta Love Southern Soul.....

[@Bogart61]

NEVER want this to stop!

[@LittleWolf576]

Someone has been making great suggestions/request. You can't go wrong with SRV. His brother Jimmy that was in the band too, may still be playing with guys like Eric Clapton. I've have to actually look it up to know for sure...

[@Trucker231610]

Thanks for doing this its my favorite SRV track

[@desertrat4453]

Texas Flood at El Macambo is one of his best but just personally, I like Texas Flood live in Tokyo, he does a really long, sensuous solo in it, mind blowing.

[@jgordon5316]

Almost forgot! Closest to his level of play these days, Jon Bonamossa and Beth Hart or Johnny Lang.

[@smokesgtp]

And John Mayer like it or not

[@TsonikEngineering]

All close, but no cigar. Stevie is the goat

[@bernardqblack]

Another Masterclass...

[@jsloan024]

My God, why did SRV have to leave us so soon ?? Wow !

[@allenclark338]

Peavey guitars of that era kick ass!

[@tinypurplefishesrunlaughin8052]

What you said about “down in yer soul” is spot on. The song immediately goes to the deepest dark depths of your soul ( where all the demons are), and once there SRV claims ownership as the Alpha. The demons step aside.

[@claireburling8547]

The Blues comes in colors.

[@mstewart109]

Beth Hart and Joe Bonamsssa " ill take care of you or Ettaa James song id rather go blind. . either one...or Joe bonamassa .( awesome blues guitarist. Almost like srv. Been playing professionally since age 12. Blues of this day and age ant no better. You will love Beth

[@kathyyoung9539]

He played with the best.

[@cherylcasey1743]

Multiples every time I watch this video 😁😁😁

[@marcatkinson4149]

SRV was big-pimping for this gig, lol.

[@Bubbaj5683]

Stevie once said if he thought about the music when he was playing it never sounded right so he just played what came out of him

[@Anonymous_Rhinoceros]

I think the video you were watching cut some of his intro out. Dig your channel. I liked to hear people(guitarists especially) with knowledge of music theory reviewing other guitar players.

[@richardmarton6329]

HMD SRV n Albert King "In Session" will not disappoint brother!

[@papawjohn9588]

Talk about a clinic, try Stevie Ray with Albert King. I( hope I got the name right.

[@pandorafox3944]

If you want to see something freaking cool, watch SRV and Double Trouble doing a sound check. It will blow your mind

[@jamesrramey]

Both Texas boys
