Stevie Ray Vaughan- Texas Flood (Live At The El Mocambo) Reaction

G'day guys, today we are reacting to Stevie Ray Vaughan Texas Flood (Live At The El Mocambo). What can I say....he is a true master when it comes to playing the guitar. I'm sure he sold his soul for talent like his.

It's encouraging to see a whole new generation learning about true musical genius. You're watching a master while the rest of the younger generation is having their brains numbed by Katie Perry.

He was truly a guitar god mindblowing

My friends son 20 yr old is pushing the limits with guitar. Texas Aggie! He is inspired by SRV! No Katie perry for him!

[@PaisleyGreene63]

Stevie Ray didn't need to sell his soul to the Devil to learn to play like that. All he had to do was steal his older brother Jimmy's guitar when he (Stevie) was three years old. I love it when reactors are left giggling in hysterical disbelief when SRV plays behind his back.

[@ritamead6318]

Paisley... his brother Jimmy told him not to touch his guitar... I love that story! It was so funny when they were talking about it in an interview.. Love SRV and watching first time reactions.

[@rlfromchatsville3986]

Just don’t think jimmy could sing like him, and too be honest Stevie had a lot more soul, think it came from his love of the blues....jimmy was more acid rock, which was a term for that generation.... just so ya know jimmy was one of my heroes I’m 61 years old.... but Stevie was better singing and playin.... and I mean no disrespect too Jimmy.... jimmmy was the man in acid rock, no one close

I agree this music today can't compare to the greatest guitar player of all time he was a humble soul and could blow you away he is deeply missed

[@Jerkturtle]

Crazy part is he never learned to read music. He just went by sound and feel, incredible

[@Diomedene]

Not at all uncommon though, neither I nor most guitarists that I have played with can read music. That doesn't stop us from playing or writing anymore than being illiterate would stop someone from composing lyrics or reciting poetry.

[@mbradleyc]

Music is all about sensation, what your senses feel.

[@stratomiesniinsaatanasti5250]

Reading ability is unneeded

Ok ok, not having ever played a real instrument I just thought that was a crazy fact. But apparently it's completely normal so disregard my comment.

[@kimberlypoole5325]

It is fun to watch the amazed look that gaming patrol had on his face.... Especially when you know what is coming.... So much fun.... SRV is a rare gifted talent that effects everyone when he let's loose on his guitar... He bares his soul right there for everyone to see & feel.... He is one with his guitar, & put his blood, sweat & tears in every note.... Phenomenonal is what SRV was..... I think of all the music we didn't have the privilege of hearing because he died way too soon.... Dang I love SRV

[@drewcook2445]

SRV didn't sell his soul, can't you feel it? Every bit of it is there! 😉

[@direwolffire1955]

Absolutely..can't play from your soul if you dont have one.

[@GBeret83]

@Drew Cook, rumor has it the Devil went back down to Georgia, stole back that golden fiddle he'd given years earlier to Charlie Daniels, and brought it back to Texas to offer to Stevie Ray for guitar lessons!

Thanks for helping spread SRV to a new generation

[@melindagarcia4497]

There's no doubt that SRV was the greatest guitarist of all time. RIP SRV.

[@TheBlaster54]

Stevie used 13 gauge guitar strings. That was like playing with cables. The strength it took to bend those strings was incredible. Stevie was a guitar savant. He would play for hours on end without taking any breaks. No player was more one with their ax than Stevie was. He channeled music through his body. The man is a legend.

[@mikemay7315]

Loved watching your reaction.. I saw Stevie 4 times live.. 1st Time Gregg Allman opened for him in 1987 just outside LA at a county fairground. I stood right underneath him. It was a hot August night. The 4th song was “Voodoo Chile”. By the time he got have way through his sweat was dripping off in front of us. The 2nd time was at “The Greek” with BB King, 3rd with BB at The Greek again, last time Pacific Amphitheater, with BB and Joe Cocker. Every show was a must see. He was the reason I started playing guitar(at 27). I was so devastated when he died I couldn’t listen to his music for a long time. Even now when I see videos of him I still cry. “Lenny” was his first wife. He wrote that song for her while sitting on her bed. Also Stevie’s influence has passed through to my 22 year old son who plays guitar and shreds in the mold of Stevie. He was the best in my opinion... and I’ve seen em all except Hendrix.. there’s no one.. and never will be anyone like SRV...

[@texasnewt]

Amen.

[@janawebb6490]

I agree he was truly the best he was all heart and soul

The thing about this El Mocambo show. They decided to do a few show on their way to the west coast to record their debut album Texas flood at Jackson Brownes studio. Whom they met along with David Bowie at the now famous Montrose jazz festival where believe it or not SRV and double trouble were actually booed for most of their set.

How the hell do boo playing like that...It's beyond me.

[@docintex]

Went to University of Texas in the early 80's and we new him as Little Stevie (we new his older brother Jimmy more with Fabulous Thunderbirds), but we knew he was a much better guitarist. Saw him at Padre Island in 82 before he hit it big, we appreciated what a great guitarist he was and it was cool to see when he started to get his props as a great guitarist. We even didn't appreciate how great he was until he passed and we realized we'd never get to see his great live shows again. GOAT.

7:28 is exactly how you feel when you saw Stevie live. I first saw him in Austin in the early 80s at the Continental Club on South Congress Street. My reaction was almost exactly like yours. I turned to my friend and asked " What the F***? "I can't believe what I'm seeing! " Later it was " I've never heard anything like this." By the way I'm from a family of musicians. I can play a guitar well. It was just F -me, I'll never be that good. I've never seen anyone as good as him.

It's always a treat to see people demonstrate complete mastery at something. SRV could play the same chord changes over and over ten times, using different phrasing each time.

Keeping it real Jimi Hendrix could not only play behind his back, he could also pick that ax using his teeth. At the Monterey Pop Festive in '66 he lit his guitar on fire and played on. Keep up the good work, it's a gift.

Jimmy Hendrix played guitar behind his back, between his legs, on his shoulder, on his head, with one hand, etc. Watch Hendrix's videos. Stevie Ray was a living incarnation of Hendrix.

He plays behind his back then casually continues singing. Without seeing it, one would never realize this is happening. It's just another page of SRV's legend.

[@Blue-qr7qe]

I think you got it right at the end: It IS a passion. Playing at a caliber of musicianship that extraordinary is the result of a passion. I think it demeans someone to infer, even jokingly, or as an expression of amazement, that they might have acquired such mastery by way of a transaction. Hard work and a passion. I don't believe for a moment that you meant any injury by that earlier statement, but SRV shared so much of his soul with us - i don't think he ever sold any of it to anyone. I enjoyed your video - thanks.

Sometimes this happens. And it is so freaking awesome when it does. Someone locks into something they're really really good at. They are wired up and born for this. It's so rare.

Sensational..a legend..a singer..a guitar player..an entertainer..a performer..what else is left..oh..and a songwriter I might add..Stevie Ray Vaughan didn't have to write music or a song..He just flat out sang and played the guitar and wherever it went in the soundwaves..so be it...Stevie Ray vaughan conquered what many of us wish we could conquer a little of what he mastered and done....

Fastest 9 minutes I’ve spent!! SRV died leaving Wisconsin on his way to my hometown Chicago and many of my friends had tickets . I’ll never forget it. I don’t cry often, but I cried that night.

I saw hiim play live twice, a force of nature untamed and unmatched.

[@petervernon922]

Listening to SRV is the best ear candy ever.

[@johndeeble5362]

Eric Clapton said Stevie Ray was like an open channel for music. The music just flowed through him.😊❤

[@AD4MRick]

I was listening to a SRV CD today in the car. I love his playing. You may want to check out Gary Moore covering Hendrix's "Red House". Gary gives a master class for guitarists. R

[@robertpiekosz7470]

Absolutely. I saw a special tribute concert to the Stratocaster and saw Gary do the best version of Red House I've ever seen!

[@sheilasizemore289]

God given and a lifetime of sweat blood and tears. The GOAT!

LOL one of the best SRV reactions ever. Little Wing is my favorite SRV cover of Jimi Hendrix. Also Hendrix played behind his head and with his teeth/mouth etc. Also check out the song SRV did of Tin Pan Alley.

[@jetsblu4444]

The best reaction video for sure....watching your reaction is priceless ...I've followed Stevie's career from the the start and what i get from this video is that you really understand the music of this amazing musician. Keep it up man....great stuff

[@markwambolt2820]

Stevie played with thick strings in order to get that sound which is unique to SRV. John Mayer once commented that he could play with those strings for about 30 seconds then his hand would cramp up. SRV played entire concerts with those strings and could bend 2-3-4 at a time!

[@Hugh_Jorgen]

good to see you were FEELIN it, not just listening :)

[@sjd5750]

I know Stevie is known for his crazy amazing solos, but he wrote a song for his wife, Lenny (aptly named, "Lenny") where he's just sitting in a chair at the edge of his drummers platform, and playing one of the sweetest things I'd ever heard. You should check it out...It's beautiful!..I believe it was at this same show.

That reaction is on the channel, check it out mate. I loved it!

[@sjd5750]

@@PatrolNationI will!

[@shannonbuschman9593]

This man's music still keeps me in a trance, spiritually he is alive , no one will ever come close to SRV, you can see why he still has a large fan following even after being gone for 30 years. Jimmy Vaughan is his brother used to be with The Fabulous Thunderbirds check him out. Enjoy....................................

Many guitarists consider this the greatest performance ever captured on film. SRV has 2 fathers Albert King and Jimi Hendrix. Check them out you will love them, they are both great and they both played behind their backs!
