I know I am late reacting to this video but I just saw this tonight. I wanted to explain something about the people who watched SRV live. I was lucky enough to see him live in an arena setting and we all had the same reaction. Please let me try to explain what it was like. No one clapped or cheered while he played. You were aware that you were hearing something rare and did not want to miss a single note. While he was on stage, no one in the audience made a sound. But baby, when the last note of a song fell from his fingers, the roar that went up from the crowd could be felt in your bones. That is just the way it was. I am 65 years old now, he would have been 66 if he had lived, but I can still recall every thing he had on and every song he played. It was life changing.

Saw him live in NYC way way back in the day. We were all half in the bag drinking whatever, laughing, hooting and hollering and Stevie hit the stage. The minute this dude started playing our jaws dropped. None of us were too familiar with him but it was utter silence until he finished the first song then the place ERUPTED!!! MIND BLOWN. We talked about him for weeks and bought his vinyl.

Me too. I used to work "the pit" at concerts when I was in college. So SRV was like 3 feet from me for easily an hour. After the set, my co-worker was exactly like "MRM" (amazed). I had known what I was getting into. Definitely one of the top 4-5 concerts I've ever witnessed (and I've worked at or attended personally a couple hundred). This was on NOV 5, 1983 and he OPENED for the Moody Blues.

The first time I ever heard Stevie Ray play was in 1979 when he was a member of the band Double Trouble. later on, he toured with Eric Clapton and it was after a show in Wisconsin back in 1990 he and several others were killed when the helicopter they took to get to the airport crashed into a ski slope. The news was so devastating to all of us who were big fans. I can remember the news report just hours after the crash had also report Eric Clapton had died. That part they got wrong. Clapton, of course, was not on board but several members of his entourage were and they were also killed. What a sad day in Rock music history...but at least we have these taped live performances we can watch that takes us back to a time when Rock music was just incredible. There will never be another Stevie Ray Vaughan. Also, that Fender Stratavastor he was playing was given to him by his older brother Jimmie. He treasured it all his life. The reason it looked so worn out was that it was made in 1951...it was a classic piece of history. He played that thing until he wore off the shellack down to the wood.

Just subscribed to your channel after your Righteous Brothers reactions. It’s so good to see, and hear young people discover some of the old greats - love watching the look on your face listening to SRV! I saw him in concert about 6 months before he died, in a beautiful outdoor venue in the hills of Santa Barbara, CA.....he blew us away. One of the best guitar performances I’ve ever seen live. Jaw dropping! I had the great pleasure to see live, Hendrix, Clapton (with Cream, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominos, Delaney, Bonnie and Friends), BB King, Howlin’ Wolf, Stones and just about every major act from the 60s and 70s. SRV and Hendrix were the two best guitar performances, ever, for me. The saddest thing for me upon hearing of his death, was that last performance in that open air bowl concert. We were able to walk down to the front of the stage, and Stevie began to talk about his life, and how the good Lord saved him from addiction, and because of Him, he turned his life around. Just had to share that story. I cried the day he died. Broke my heart, as a mother.

He and Jimi both were. They didn't strap on a guitar, they melded with an instrument to convey their soul and its intentions, through it. Some can learn to play the notes, but very few can use it as a medium to express their thoughts, feelings or message. This is a skill set that only the two of them had, in my opinion. Touched by the hand of God himself, for us to enjoy and take in with amazement and awe of the ability to exhibit every sinew of sorrow, angst, joy and despair, these messengers wish to display for us, through their music. A gift is what has been presented to us, by them.

SUBBBB....tears watching you jam to Stevie. He is a Texas legend. A humble genius. I listened to him all through college and saw him whenever I could. All the local cover bands paid tribute. The day he died...time stood still. Folks were stunned and unable to talk. We were numb. It was hard to breathe. The musicians I knew were in mourning for weeks. Stevie was from the "bad" south side of Dallas...he grew up with real Texas blues. He did not steal the blues from the soul men of Deep Ellum...he borrowed it, nurtured it, gave his soul to it and never sold out. RIP Stevie...gone way too soon. So thrilled to see ya'll feeling his music for the first time.

Jimi Hendrix recorded this song in October of 1968, if you can believe that it's almost 50 years old now. Joe Satriani said of the song: "It's just the greatest piece of electric guitar work ever recorded. In fact, the whole song could be considered the holy grail of guitar expression and technique. It is a beacon of humanity." I don't know about that last part, but you have to admit - whether it's Jimi's version or SRV's - it stands as one of the best modern songs ever recorded, and it never fails to blow me away when I listen to it.

Love, love, LOVE watching new people discover SRV! Your reaction reminded me so much of mine when I first heard Stevie's take on Voodoo Chile (Jimi Hendrix originally wrote it as "Voodoo Chile" not "Voodoo Child"). The first thing I did was rewind that sucker and hit play over and over with my mouth hanging wide open. Eric Clapton described Stevie Ray best when he said, "I just had to meet this guy. He was like an open channel to some higher power." Yep.
@Guitcad15 жыл бұрын
There were two songs that people usually get confused. They were both on Hendrix's last studio album, Electric Ladyland. The first was called 'Voodoo Chile' and it was (IMHO) rather unremarkable, which is why I suspect most people don't know it. The second one, on the B-side, is called Voodoo Child (Slight Return). (Note the "Child" in this song as opposed to "Chile" in the first one.) This is the song with which people are most familiar, thanks in large part to SRV.
@JohnHoulgate5 жыл бұрын
I remember Clapton saying in a documentary that most of the guitar guys of his day would go into a solo, including himself, get lost in it and had to figure out how to get back to the song. He went on saying that that never happens with Stevie Ray Vaughan. He knows exactly where he is at all times and all he does is just channel.

This live show of Voodoo Child was recorded at Austin City Limits, the longest running music show in the history of American television and still producing season after season music with the world's greatest musicians. Again, thank you for covering SRV!!!

Hey man, if you get a chance then check out " I'll play the blues for you " by Joe Bonnammassa on you tube. I think you'll like it. If you like good heartfelt music then try some of Keith Whitley's songs too. Good to see the younger generation listening to older songs. Music is a universal language that everyone can enjoy regardless of race , creed or the color of our skin. God looks at what's on the inside and so should we. Steve Perry's song called " When you love a Woman " is another that I think you would enjoy. I love all kinds of music from Motown to country to even some of this modern stuff. Just depends on the words and the beat. Anyway have a great day and let me know what you think of some of those songs if you listen to any of them. God bless you and yours.

Yes, one of the best guitar players ever. Remember the first time I saw him in concert and he was still on drugs really bad and it was a great show, saw him a couple of more times, then he kicked his drug habits and the next time I saw him it was a total different show, he was really kicking A Double S and playing some much better, in my opinion he was getting better as the time went on, I was waiting for him to come back to Memphis so I could see him again. I remember driving to work on the morning when I heard the news of the chopper crash and that Stevie Ray was no longer with us. I often wonder how much better he would be today if he was still alive. He was already one of the best, but after he kick the drugs, he got better and was continuing to get better on commanding and controlling that guitar and was one of the greatest guitarists of our time. Thanks for your reaction video and may god bless you and your family.
