[@SalvoG]

He is crazyyyyy🔥 Sorry about the edits per usual, youtube being youtube. Only way to avoid this is to probably make the video super small, or make the opacity super low.

[@minigirl6839]

It's so great to see you enjoying Stevie Ray. I love him so much. He's got so many MUST sees out there. I loved your reaction to Lynyrd Skynyrd "Call Me The Breeze " as you throughly enjoyed the piano solo. Stevie Ray's pianist was straight up FIRE and I believe you'd enjoy "Look at Little Sister ". Talk about a piano solo. Stevie Ray never played a song the same way twice, and he also did this exact same song (Look at Little Sister) with Jeff Healey. Jeff was blind, and holy shit, you should seriously watch BOTH of those performances. Same song, two completely mind blowing performances. 🤯 If you ever come to Texas, go visit Stevie Ray's statue in Austin. He's a straight up demi god here. 👌🥳🎸💯

[@craenor]

To answer one of your questions, Stevie stuck with the right chord changes and rhythm, but he improvised everything else. You'll not find two versions of him playing this song (or any song) that are the same, nor even that close to the same.

[@howardzdenek98]

Basically you just witnessed one of the best musical performances ever performed by anyone. If there is a God it is Stevie Ray Vaughan.

[@subversivelysurreal3645]

You said ‘most artists’ and I just thought, ‘Stevie Ray Vaughan was *not* most artists’, to answer, it depends on the song, with something like Texas Flood, (or Voodoo Chile, check out his rendition of THAT at the El Mocombo, he’s going to play the song, but he’s gonna play it playing the ideas that are happening in his mind *at that time* so particularly the solos are going to vary. If he likes an idea, he might keep it ~as you’re going to see later on in this video. (Imagine Bowie *thinking* ‘after I get this guy on my record, he’ll walk down the steps and onto the stage exactly as we tell him to, because he’s about making a ton of money, like me, I mean, that’s the whole point, right?’)

[@richeaton5752]

"The song just started. What are you doing, dude?" Buckle Up!

[@Calumetto]

At a SRV concert in the late '80's, i stood too close to a wall of loudspeakers. The first guitar strum went through my head like a knife. The ringing never completely stopped. I can truly say I've been listening to a note from Stevie Ray continuously for 35 years.

[@michaeltaylor8835]

Oh joy

[@tonybarwick5248]

I’m jealous!!

[@antidem82]

That's awesome!

[@dmwalker24]

Stevie played through quite a few different vintage monster amps. I certainly wouldn't have wanted to be right next to any of them at gig volumes, but at least you got a special souvenir from the experience.

[@Calumetto]

@@dmwalker24 LOL. Yeah, this is the most likes I've ever gotten for a comment... on how I got mild tinnitus of all things. If Jimmy Hendrix had accidently put out my eye, I'd probably be a celebrity. (Shaking head).

[@ginao8935]

No Stevie Ray song is ever the same . He just played what he felt. RIP Stevie. We miss you !😢

[@SnowmanN49]

Nobody could make a guitar cry and sing like SRV. RIP Stevie.

[@robertm7071]

Sorry, but Hendrix did and far better.(and earlier)

[@mariejustme]

RIP, Stevie. Gone but never forgotten. Stevie would play it different every time. It was epic. ❤🤘🏼

[@quentinmichel7581]

His brother Jimmy was once being interviewed and was asked, " Does Stevie ever play a song the same way twice? " to which Jimmy quickly quipped, "Hell, Stevie never played a song the same way ONCE! " Epic...lol

[@toddmichelfelder3417]

IMO the best there was! Stevie played with as much or more pure raw emotion than anyone ever, therefore no two shows ever sounded the same! I am blessed to have seen him twice!

[@C_Melvyn_James]

And that's awesome! Lucky you.

[@donnaritch4934]

Lucky arse!

[@aquarius2287]

This man is the real deal. I often wonder how much better he could’ve gotten (if that’s even possible) had he lived beyond his 30’s. I live in Texas & it makes me incredibly sad that I never had the chance to see him perform live. My mom did & got to meet him after the show. She said he was very genuine & humble. RIP SRV

[@paigeharrison3909]

I lived in Austin while in my 20s and saw him 8 times, mostly in outdoor venues. But unfortunately never got to meet him.

[@vaughnnewman8903]

Gone WAY too soon- what an amazing talent. 20 seconds into any of his songs and you know you're seeing/hearing greatness AND he can sing with such soul. Only the good die young. One of a handful of guitar gods.

[@joeybossolo7]

Indeed. Love how at the beginning of the intro, he steps up to the mike, is about to start to sing then says to himself- “You know what? fuck it, let me rip this here a bit more, I’m feelin’ it!” Man was a living legend.

[@cadleo]

A true legend. One of the few artists I say to do the live versions of his songs instead of studio. His live performances are unmatched.

[@melissakhalar1842]

Everytime I attend a concert at Alpine Valley Music Center I find a quiet corner and take a few moments to reflect and pay my respects to Mr. Stevie Ray Vaughan .

[@jennhurl]

"Life Without You" Live at Capitol Theater is my favorite for many reasons. 1) The seemless guitar change 2) He speaks to the audience 3) the lyrics he wrote & sings for his friend Charley were actually chosen for Stevie's own gravestone 😭 "for all the love you brought our way" 4) He plays guitar with something besides his hands. Enjoy the GOAT 🩷 Love u SRV

[@alesiaking5578]

Yes, that is his absolute best and my favorite.

[@rileysteve]

SRV left a smoking hole in every stage he ever played on. The best of the best.

[@williamcabell142]

He’s just the GOAT OF GOATS....PERIOD!😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@sharonchaput9705]

One of the top 3 guitarists ever if not the GOAT.

[@lindalloyd8296]

I used to go watch Stevie Ray in the early 80's here in Austin... there wasn't anyone else like him, then or now, or ever again. I feel privileged to have witnessed this genius. He was simply the best ever.

[@gunboatwillie8536]

If you think watching a video of him playing behind his back is amazing then imagine it live! Saw him back in 84 and man.....Blown Away is an understatement. Still one of the best concerts I have seen to this very day.

[@shellycasbeer3775]

You can never go wrong with SRV. He oozes the blues as well as being a phenomenal guitarist. Check out "Couldn't Stand the Weather" or anything he does. Your smile told it all👍🎼🎸🎶

[@tonybarwick5248]

Every time Stevie performed he put his heart and soul into it ! When he was done he looked like he crawled out of a pool.! Stevie was just as real as he was a guitar master !❤ He is so missed !!!!!

[@markhagerman1837]

There is, was, nor ever will be another SRV. Once in a lifetime talent. I remember I was listening to the radio when the DJ broke into the middle of a song to announce his death. One of the few times I cried after learning of a musician’s death. Stevie had just gotten clean and had his whole life ahead of him. Still makes me sad when I think about it.

[@donaldwilliams4019]

SRV never played a song the same way twice. Each version was a unique, once in a life time experience.

[@petermachare5711]

There are about a dozen or so performances that I can watch and think "It can't get any better than this." This is one of those.

[@socalnitro]

Probably the most reacted video on the tube. Never gets old. That’s all you need to know.

[@SSPVideo]

Welcome the SRV! Go down this rabbit hole, you won't be disappointed. SRV = THE G.O.A.T.

[@natewilliams1062]

This is the definition of singular talent. Several people have exhibited singular talent in my lifetime. Prince, Bowie etc. SRV was up there. I can't figure out how his strings aren't all breaking simultaneously let alone how he keeps up the passion. Dude could play for DAYS. Ridiculous

[@jimralston7562]

Love your reaction! Stevie is my all time favorite, I was lucky to see him and DT 8 times in concert. Always intense, and spiritual experience. Definitely stick with live performances, they are just so magical. I highly recommend Life Without You from Capital Center. Stevie just bares his soul! RIP SRV, I still miss you!

[@alesiaking5578]

Absolutely LIFE WITHOUT YOU 1985 Capitol theater is his best and my favorite!! RIP❤️‍🩹 SRV🎸

[@Shabenn]

There was never anybody better, will never be anybody better! My mom was so in love with Stevie Ray, the first thing I did when I heard he died was call her to make sure she was alright. RIP SRV and Mom

[@seansmith5826]

Ad lib every time he played it. It's coming from his soul. Feelings of that moment coming out of the guitar. RIP

[@williammilheim8141]

R.I.P. SRV. When guitars go to sleep at night they dream of being played by SRV. No one comes close to his talent.

[@timtubemusic]

A perfect blues voice combined with the best blues Guitar skills in the world.

[@michaelpennington9327]

Yes. You must watch Lenny. It’s instrumental, but absolutely incredible. Much credit must be given to Double Trouble. Chris Layton (drums) and Tommy Shannon (bass) and later Reese Wynans on piano and organ were so rock solid incredible musicians in their own right. To be able to keep up with SRV and hold down that foundation is not easy, but they make it look that way.

[@mstewart109]

Reese Wynans went over to Joe Bonamassa"s band after Stevie was killed in a helicopter crash. Still is with Joe B. PHENOMENAL keys

[@johndugger1028]

SRV was the greatest guitar player to ever pick up a guitar, BB King said so in an interview RIP, we lost a true treasure when he passed. I was lucky to be alive when he was at the top, he also died at the top

[@supobostarman]

I have been so blessed to have been born in 1960 and old enough to see alll these incredible musicians like Stevie Ray and others live! It was a golden age that will never come again!

[@a-traders-truth3337]

Every single one of his live performances are different!!! Majority of his playing is ad libbing… crazy impressive, it all just flows through him in the moment

[@AVGuyhall]

There was no difference in his singing and his playing, each was packed with emotion and he fully expressed himself with each. Something about his style just makes you feel dirty, but in a good way. Kudos to Double Trouble for keeping that groove going no matter where he took the song.

[@conniehorton1981]

My all time favorite SRV❤️❤️❤️. I loved your reaction!!! He never played a song the same way. Each performance was different. And believe me when I say his live performances are imo just as great as the studio. There are so many great performances from him. I would love to see you react to Life Without You live from The Capitol Theater. Towards the end he grins and turns to his crew off stage and mouths I lost my tooth, then grins again and mouths Gone. And of course finishes the song. Can’t wait for the next SRV reaction!!!

[@Gunboatjingoist]

I saw him in a bar with 100 people and I saw him in a stadiam with 50,000 people. I am truly blessed to have experianced Stevie Ray, a Texas legand!

[@stevenperkins2925]

Stevie Ray was thee very best . Saw his last west coast performance That was a Blessing

[@jameswarkentin2798]

Love how he goes down so quiet that you hear the amplifiers hum, then ramps back up. Nothing seems extraneous. Even playing behind his back is like, "This is normal"

[@jackscott5593]

SRV ~ 🎸🐐 The goatiest goat in all of goatness Stevie never played a song the same way twice. Hell, he couldn't even read music! He was self-taught. The dude was a kind and humble soul and a gift from the heavens. **Life Without You at Capitol Theater**

[@donnabruhn6907]

Sooo much f---talent. Miss this man😢😢😢

[@r5photography]

And now you know. The best part is that you can listen to his music for the rest of your days.

[@vickihirsch8340]

He never played the same song the same way twice. He played with his soul. Whatever he was feeling was how he played. He didn't read music. He was never formally trained. Just played with his heart

[@kellyphillips9556]

Never played the same thing twice, just played how he felt. Drips soul RIP SRV

[@claireburling8547]

I love Stevie Ray for who he was. The fact that he could play like that was secondary. But, hot damn that guy could teach any guitar how to play...and scream, cry and bend for him. Master. GOAT. 🎸👽. RIP, King SRV

[@josephbond4707]

You will never experience that no one has ever been able to recreate the sounds of Stevie

[@blanetalk]

I saw Stevie play live twice. Once when he played with his brother Jimmie's band (The Fabulous Thunderbirds) opening for him, and that night Jimmie and Stevie shared an end-of-night encore duet on a single double-neck guitar! And the second time was at Alpine Valley the night he died. 😢

[@epbeagle4242]

I was lucky enough to see SRV open for Robert Plant in 88. Amazing show.

[@stephaniewashburn7700]

SRV TRUE GOAT! Rest in paradise, King 🖤

[@harleyhorton1292]

It's Stevie! You just had your awakening

[@Jim-he4km]

Stevie Ray NEVER played a song exactly the same way, always the same feeling. Pure Feeling!!

[@kathyjaissle6791]

Omg! You must see a live version of Stevie Ray doing Voodoo Child!!! It will blow your mind!!!!!!!!!!!

[@cynergy4]

SRV, one of the greatest ever to draw a breath!

[@davidanderson6372]

Love watching people see Stevie Ray for the first time. One of if not the greatest to ever pick up a guitar. Pick any song by SRV, they're all 🔥

[@superpoof]

Agreed! My favorite is "Look at little sister"!

[@axandio]

The rhythm section is like a metronome backing track. Perfectly laying down the pocket.

[@destination22ful]

SRV is a legend in his hometown of Dallas Texas. RIP Stevie.

[@Davtheimpaler]

He had a basic song to work off of but it was never the same twice. I was blessed to get to see him in Austin before he passed.

[@falcon215]

When Stevie passed, suddenly all the guitarists who played in his footsteps like Johnny Lang, Kenny Wayne Shephard, Chris Duarte, etc. started coming out of the woodwork. I think they all respectfully acknowledged that SRV was the high bar and all they could do was watch from the wings.

[@jeffrobertson734]

He was the the goat fir his time... with no match!hus preformances were always different!amazing guitarist and artist...

[@rgwyther8157]

You "feel" srv ,not just hear him ! A must see is "life without you "at the capital theater, it's incredible and will blow you away. Srv will always be the goat .

[@bwustinbweem]

srv is the greatest all time youll never get tired of stevie its impossible

[@edwardcrews2952]

Fantabulous. Rest In Peace SRV. Thank you for your gift of music

[@douglaspensack3499]

No one plays exactly like Stevie today. BUT, there are numerous blues clubs in Chicago that you can hear really good electric blues on any given day.

[@davidd5407]

Any bluesman worth his salt plays balls out from the heart. So that means improvisation is the standard.....if that bluesman is worth any kind of a damn.

[@theatti2d]

i saw him about 6 times. First 2 were in smaller venues and i got to be with 20 feet of him. Every show i felt drained afterwords. Like he took my soul for a journey through the stars and i ended up bewildered at what i just experienced

[@luvdylanstar]

Lol, I was waiting impatiently for SRV to start singing because he has it all!!! I knew you would love him because he was damn near perfect. And yes, swag it would be!

[@bevtuft3572]

I just LOVE watching people hear him for the first time............... And the word you're looking for is PRIMAL.

[@andersgranstrom7128]

Ahhh....just one of the greatest!! The guitar was really a part of him, a limb if you will... And to think that with all that bending he played 0.13 strings!! One of a kind he was! Thanks for this one! 🙂

[@kevincaulder20]

Stevie Ray discovered a youth guitarist named Jeff Healey, who is blind and righteous talent in his own right. Watch this video. And then, react to Jeff and Stevie play together on PRIDE AND JOY. You will appreciate the depth of both talents after picking your head up off the floor. Enjoy

[@matthewmorrisonguitar]

to answer your question, live songs like this are often played close to the same and close to the studio version. but (im unsure on your knowledge on music) each song is in a certain key and within the key there is set notes and chords that “fit” and so players like stevie would go in whatever direction they felt like while staying in the key of the song. hope this helps

[@nancymjohnson]

SRV was from Dallas. A small area just SW of downtown called Oak Cliff. I was a jock at a station on that side of downtown, and one Saturday he showed up unannounced. Stayed for two hours. All he brought was a cooler of water and beer. He was a sweetheart. ☮️❤️😎 on the air once I said that he must have played in the womb. Hi mother had the most difficult birth of all time. Not only did she have to push out a baby, but a guitar too.

[@franktraina4147]

That performance of texas flood was history in the making. Maybe the best guitar playing of all time. 😎

[@allensams1773]

I believe it was his brother Jimmy that said "He doesn't play a song the same way once, let alone twice!" The muses just ran through him and he kept up, always. Saw him three times in his day. R.I.P. Stevie. . .

[@edbluez99]

I've seen him 3 times in concert, and yes some of it's varied in the solos and a little different from one song to the next. The "breaks" in the song usually remain the same - sometimes when he looks back at the other guys, it's his signal time for the change.

[@kirkknudsen4278]

I saw SRV 3 times and indeed it was a good time! The 2nd time was the best when he opened for Jeff Beck. One of the best concerts ever.

[@CharCanuck14]

"Look At Little Sister" would be a great follow-up Salvo - the video where Stevie and Toronto home-boy Jeff Healey shred their guitars together. The El Mocambo "El Mo" is a Toronto bar/venue. I spent a lot of time there in the 70's. Not a huge place, but always had great music. Do a bit of research on it and you'll be blown away as to who has played there. One surprise the place had was a band advertised as "The Cockroaches" who turned out to be the Rolling Stones. Can't make that up! Back to SRV - I've heard that he never plays a song the same way.

[@mstewart109]

Jeff Healey next please!!! T h is one just mentioned is a start

[@looneygardener]

People like Stevie can't be in the world too long. They are 🌩

[@stevenmonte7397]

Grew up near me. I met him once at the mall. A total humble, badass dude!

[@1719456]

It is well known that Stevie never played a song the same way twice. Great reaction, as per usual.

[@joesmith1957]

I did see him play live. Simply amazing!

[@alanmacification]

" Under the Neon Palms " at the Ol' Elmo. My favourite club in the 1970s. All of SRV's clips from this session are just as good. He never runs out of ideas. I've sat in that room listening to Willie Dixon, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy & Junior Wells, etc. It is very small.

[@kevinkeys3578]

Was amazed so many times by SRV! His playing and concerts were as if the music was pre-recorded in Heaven! Stevie and God unleashing on the rest of us! On his way to a gig, he was taken in a helicopter crash - he rests in Heaven and Dallas TX!

[@seacrestboxers1787]

Stevie Ray was what's known as a Texas Blues man. His extreme talent was hampered early days by his drink and drugs problems. He later kicked it all found live in a beautiful woman from New Zealand and was due to marry her. He was playing at some, I think jazz, festival I can't remember where but he was with Eric Clapton. After rather than the long uncomfortable ride back in a car , he was given a seat in the 2nd of Clapton's helicopters . The helicopter crashed into a mountain shortly after take off and he was killed along with some of Clapton's entourage. It was a very sad day indeed when the world list Stevie Ray Vaughan. Can't remember which, someone will say, but he played a brilliant guitar solo in one of David Bowie's hits, and was supposed to go on tour with him but pulled out. He was extremely well thought of among his peers

[@Tijuanabill]

"Well that was an extreme delight." Can't ask for much more than that.

[@pipeninja1578]

His brother; Jimmy Lee, said, “Stevie never played it the same way ONCE!”. This version, of THIS song, IS my ABSOLUTE, #1 FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME!!!😉✌️

[@TheKungFung]

To answer your question at 11:53 in the video, SRV had song structure and planned changes at certain parts, but he was known for never really playing the same song/solo the same way each concert. No one gives the drummer or bass player enough recognition. They had excellent ability to follow SRV's changes, speed and intensity. If you do more SRV videos, i highly recommend "Lenny", or "Riviera Paradise".

[@Prone2Thrill]

They say SRV didn't plug into an amp, he plugged into his soul = this is the song/performance I would time machine too out of any. His duet with Johnny Copeland on Tin Pan Alley is the dirtiest meanest blues duet ever as well. RIP LEGEND/GOAT

[@williamcabell142]

It’s about time you got to him...Dude🤨 He’s just the GOAT OF GOATS! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@PrestonH-q5w]

The Texas Blues. Welcome!

[@timothybyrom5560]

There are so many with Stevie. Life without you, live at the capital, Pipeline with his brother Jimmy Lee. Many tunes that will impress and delight.

[@irmaoksanen6830]

First time seeing this performance. Has got to be the best one ever. The El Mocambo is famous for the bands that have performed there. The Rolling Stones recorded a live LP there.

[@MosaicRose99]

I love Stevie as a top musician but I also love Stevie the man. What a huge loss to the world when he left us so young and so tragically. RIP Stevie...❤

[@mikefetterman6782]

According to Tommy Shannon (bass, wrote a book) This is Stevie's best performance on tape. This was 2 years before Tommy and Stevie became sober. ONE HOUR before this show, Stevie was in a cocaine induced coma. Medical personnel were called in to "rouse": him with IV fluids and vitamins. (Hence the extra extra notes and sweat). This show is probably the best you will see a guitarist every play.

[@minneapolitan]

Most folks aren't ready for the shock and awe of this recording

[@darena55]

Stevie doesn't just play the guitar; he IS the guitar

[@mitzifrancis9843]

Please, please check out Stevie Ray Vaughan with one of his inspirations, Johnny Copeland, performing Tin Pan Alley at the Montreux Jazz Festival. And the entire 1989 Austin City Limits show is mind-blowing. My favorites are (what I feel is his best performance of) Voodoo Child, Couldn't Stand the Weather, Crossfire, Cold Shot, Tightrope and an impressive mid-song guitar switch when a string broke on Look at Little Sister. You'll get to really appreciate how talented everyone in Double Trouble is as well as enjoying one of the greatest guitarists ever. During this 1989 show, the instrumental Riviera Paradise is soul-touching. Stevie looked so healthy and happy and left us soon after. That performance being recorded is a treasure.

[@shawngarratt6937]

This was in a small 650 seat bar in my hometown Toronto, Ontario. Other artists that played there were The Stones, U2, Blondie and others.

[@daveking9393]

You nailed it man great reaction Really enjoyed it

[@ogfostano7794]

“It wasn’t ever that he took a breather or paused to think where he was going to go next. It just flowed out of him. Always seemed to flow out of him and actually, even that doesn’t come just with virtuosity, practice or any of those. It’s not a question of doing it over and over again or anything like that. It’s just that he seemed to be an open channel. He just flowed through him; he never ever seemed to kind of dry up.”- Eric Clapton

[@leslie8743]

Went to see Ray Charles and SRV opened the show at Seattle Festival. We didn't know of him but were drenched in sweat after his set. Ray was dancing in the wings listening to Stevie. We bought tickets to his upcoming tour but sadly he passed in air crash. RIP SWEET SRV ❤

[@chrisBrown58]

Haven't listen to this in a few years... I used to be SRV obsessive. He's got the chops for sure, but keeps it rooted in the tradition of the music and doesn't wander off into prog rock. Despite the number of notes he plays, you still get the sense of the spaces between...it's tasteful, on point and not an avalanche of Ego guitar. His vituosity reminds me of a great sportsman, he doesn't fight to pack in as much as he can, but like a sporting great, he seems to have that extra yard and the seconds seem to pass more slowly for him...more time to do what he has to do. A sad loss so early, just grateful for the body of work he left behind.
