[@tovarisch2788]

Stevie was absolutely great. But one must also mention Tommy Shannon (bass) and Chris Layton (drums): one of the tightest and most in-the-pocket rhythm sections EVER. Their support of him is one key element of his success.

[@billnu]

Spot on. They were just awesome together. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

[@FUBAR1986]

Hell yeah, they were both killing it and love the pitch of the drums

[@brewswillis9783]

Absolutely! They were also in the bands Storyville and Arc Angels after his death that deserves to be checked out.

[@sarahzentexas]

DOUBLE TROUBLE

[@sebatianalvarado7171]

exactly .. had to believe hes long gone .. seeing him still feels like yesterday ...

[@DSmith264]

The man's been gone for over 30 years, and he STILL continues to raise gooseflesh on the skin and send chills up the spines of young music fans, the world over. Some things just don't grow old and truly NEVER die. Behold, the IMMORTAL Stevie Ray Vaughan!

[@lindanoel1853]

...young music fans AND old music lovers, too i-- I'm 75. I get chills every time I hear Texas Flood and Voo doo Chile...hot damn. I have most of his cds which I bought in Istanbul, Turkey (teaching English as a 2nd language to young adults 2000-2005.) I first heard Stevie's Pride and Joy in 1997 in a neighborhood tavern. His other music I had to/got to learn how to listen, move one song at a time...until I'm dancing with a basketball in my 60's with SRV through my headphones-- on cassette tapes. I love him and his music. He was a kind and humble man. There are so many stories about people who met him.....

[@URnickel_MY2cents]

SRV... Arguably, one of the Greatest Guitarists, *_EVER !!!!!_* RIP, Stevie

[@leenagel3605]

This was Stevies second appearance on Austin City Limits after about 2 years of being clean and sober. The difference in the man from his first performance is unreal. I think he was better now than before. I often think if all the music we missed out on after his passing. Cherish what he left us.

[@billnu]

He was really on top of his game in this time period. So fun to watch.

[@BradYaeger]

He came back with the handcuffs off . I was at work digging a ditch when it came on the radio that day he died. I remember I looked at my friend and all I could think to say was at least he died sober . In hindsight I still think that even though it's kind of a strange thought for somebody else . I guess I felt like he had won.

[@leenagel3605]

@@BradYaeger I saw an interview with Chris Layton and he said that Stevie would meet someone that said he was an inspiration to them and he would light up and drag them into a corner and talk with them as long as they wanted. I was getting ready for work when the news flashed and had to sit down. It hit me hard.

[@tomryan8077]

I’m a 72 guitar player, a SRV fan for 40 years, and I get a kick out of seeing reactions from younger folks discovering his phenomenal playing for the first time. Few play with the skill, passion, and heart that Stevie put into every performance, and it still amazes me watching him after all these years how I never tire of his music. Check out his guitar swap when he breaks a string playing “Look At Little Sister”, I believe it was a clip from Austin City Limits show. Doesn’t miss a lick! Watch all his clips, you won’t be disappointed.

[@et2petty]

I knew Jimmie Vaughan in the 1980's a little, and met Stevie then too. Im glad there is still so much love for this music.

[@craenor]

This is my favorite version of this song (including the Hendrix originals). There are tons of amazing live SRV performances, and he never plays the same songs the same way twice. If you want to hear more SRV but also hear something different, consider the three song set he did for MTV Unplugged. The things he does to that acoustic 12 String are downright criminal. So good.

[@roberttaylor5997]

Jimi never played anything the same way twice either, so if you want to compare them you could check out different performances, such as Woodstock and Maui. But whether you want to react to them is a different matter because Jimi reactions tend to get copyrighted, as I expect you know.

[@alanh.7668]

Wow, I've never seen that! Thanks! I saw SRV twice and both times he did this "Voodoo Chile" (Real title by the way!) intro and wasn't feeling it so he moved on to other songs. I admit, I was disappointed in the moment, but I instantly got over it once he got into those next songs!

[@OscarMartinez-pz9rg]

I like his versions of "Texas flood" and ""voodoo chile" from his first "Austin city limits" appearance, I think it was '83

[@GinMae]

Thanks, creanor.. I really love his versions of "look at little sister" and "mary had a little lamb"... :) I also appreciate Jimi.. he was the "creator".. but IMHO, SRV took it to the next level...

[@randyrobey5643]

I enjoy watching young people seeing this video for the first time. Stevie was one of the greatest blues-rock guitarists ever.

[@shawnpwatsons1]

One of the greatest performances in guitar history. Matchless skills.

[@tammyphxaz]

i like the cam shot your talking about,, it shows his picking hand action as well as his fretboard finger, and you realize how hard his picking hand is working, and how it stays in time with the fretboard fingers, talk about right brain/left brain working together, then throw in his singing voice, and the rest of his superior BADASSERY on top of it all,,,,wow

[@ChicagoBeaver]

YA STEVIE!!! He motivated me to rip it up on the guitar and that's what I do sometimes when i want to get all my frustrations out. I had many VHS video's of Stevie Ray. 😋

[@genstonewall]

I loved your reaction!! First time I saw and heard this I reacted the same way lol Going from awe, to jamming, to WTH just happened there back to jamming with those killer drums and the bass badassery!! Well done ma’am! Thoroughly enjoyed it 😊👍

[@danasixty5402]

I was there one Hot night at Austin City Limits . Hell of a Performance . Miss you Stevie .

[@lindanoel1853]

We believe your Chills...so many of us get them damn near every time we are with Stevie Ray Vaughn while he's playing his music. ! "Stevie was an endless, open channel that music just poured out of. He made people who'd never touched a guitar in their life want to pick one up and start playing, and he made those of us who'd played live onstage with him before want to quit.".............Eric Clapton.

[@t0dd000]

And that drummer! So good.

[@michaelemery8909]

Verdy got the "stank" face going, SRV will always be the greatest ever....still remember where I was August 27th 1990 when we tragically lost him and his gift to all who truly remember him in the short time we had him and number 1 to blow us away!!! R.I.P. GOAT!!!

[@jdbroders64]

Ah, Stevie Ray. He was channeling the universe/god whatever you want to call it. He always played that way. You just knew that he was different and extremely special every time he played. RIP Stevie, you were taken away from us far too soon.

[@edwardmcalister8743]

Yes Miss Verdy. There was only one Stevie Ray. Only one. And we are all sad that he is gone.

[@jimralston7562]

Life Without You (live at Capital Theatre) is like going to church and ending up in Stevie heaven. Stevies heart pours out on the stage. RIP SRV

[@harrietmiller3982]

What a great way to describe that performance Jim✌️💙🎸🎶

[@lindanoel1853]

Drummer Chris Layton and Bass Tommy Shannon have been interviewed a few times about their experiences with Stevie. Beautiful. They loved each other and playing with Stevie 10 yrs was the best 10 yrs of their lives, broke or being paid well.

[@gregleblanc9357]

Loving your appreciation and the expressions on your face in recognizing the amount of talent in SRV. Great reactions for sure

[@pedroramirez5846]

Love your reaction, I strongly recommend Tim Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland, just pure gold.

[@nikonmark37814]

Awesome reaction, appreciate the fact that you were actually listening and picking everything up and understanding what makes him the GOAT!

[@comingtoterms5439]

some one you should check out is Jeff Healey. (Canadian) he does a duo with Stevie Ray on "Look at little Sister". but you should also check out Jeff Healey 'How Blue Can You Get' Live at Notodden Blues Festival. i think you'll love them both

[@rustdawg7364]

Great video verdy,SRV smooth jazz player. The shaking was a wah pedal controlled by his foot .love your facial expressions.

[@artkinwa9142]

Awesome. My favorite song of Stevie's is Riviera Paradise. It's an instrumental song. It is so chill. It always takes me to my happy place.

[@mikebunner3498]

I agree with your statement -- the guitar is a part of him!!! So true.

[@bettybowland3755]

Great reaction!! TIGHTROPE and LIFE WITHOUT YOU....both great ones!!

[@patriotjon8535]

If you have not done so yet.... Please do a Reaction video on Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Life without you" It is a little more mellow of a song, But just as awesome!! Stevie Ray really knows how to make people Want to learn how to play guitar. He is a true Showman.

[@ccj9373]

I was lucky enough to see him in Concert 4 times! He was and still is unmatched. Glad to see you enjoying him after all these years!

[@lucapepe2439]

Il più grande chitarrista di sempre...Stevie nel cuore ❤️

[@jeffharry9675]

And also, Life Without You. Absolutely fantastic.

[@mikelundquist4596]

I saw and listened to him for years and thought 'how can he get any better?'... then he got clean. Holy s#!+

[@P5YKHOTIK]

Thanks 🎸 Enjoy your selections.

[@randymarsengill6035]

Oh, yes 👍! Don’t forget his drum 🥁 and bass player. 😎

[@sjd5750]

Even better is "Couldn't Stand The Weather", live Capitol theater, 1985...Incredible!

[@Blue-qr7qe]

I love that you get how fascinating Stevie is. Just spellbinding to watch while hearing the music he's creating. Thanks, Verdy -

[@chriscoates2399]

He is a Voodoo Child he plays that guitar 🎸 like he's possessed, Wonder full ....

[@arnoldcox9128]

How fantastic was SRV unbelievable performer

[@anthonybalistreri5226]

Performed live at Austin City Limits. Imagine being at that show!

[@johncollier9280]

If yer lookin' for another Stevie Ray Vaughan recommendation I'm talkin' the excellent Hendrix reinterpretation o' Little Wing from the album The Sky Is Cryin'. Studio instrumental excellence!

[@user-David-Alan]

He was the best. No other like him. Thank for the review.

[@philmullineaux5405]

Stevie Ray Vaughan, Austin City Limits, live 81 or 83, Voodoo Child cover the. Greatest blues guitarist and singer, ever! This is a Hendrix cover. Bowie had him play on his Let's dance , album. Then asked him to join his band. SRV turned him down!!😮😮 Greatest guitarist ever!! Died young, leaving the Montreux Jazz Festival, in a terrible helicopter crash. RIP to SRV. U should watch all his Austin City Limits, concerts! Ironically, first time he went to Montreaux, he was booed mercilessly, they felt he wasn't Jazz enough! When he went back in 95, he was treated as the reigning god of the show! And then he died...if u watch just one more of his vids, it should be from this show, Texas Flood! His look, blues voice, guitar ability, showmanship... God purpose built this man to play the Blues! There's been a lot of great guitarists , but combined with his voice, look, presence, voice, showmanship and ability , there's only him.

[@jessisanchez8150]

Stevie Ray Vaughn - Life Without You 🔥🔥🔥

[@ignatzmuskrat3000]

So many Stevie fans. Incredible. I would have never thought. He is not worthy.

[@oldschoolfink3212]

The greatest guitar player to ever pick up a guitar. Stevie Ray and Eddie Van Halen, defined what a guitar could, and should sound like. Well done young lady. This is one of the greatest live recordings ever.

[@helenespaulding7562]

Add Gilmour, Hendrix and Page to that list and you’d have my personal top five.

[@sebatianalvarado7171]

Roy buchanan was the man who made the tele sounds first in late 50s early 60s .. go listen to his austin city texas 1976 live session .. he was doing this in 60s ...

[@wowplayer7986]

Just go watch the whole "Live at the El Macombo" performance! Every single minute is beyond worthy!!

[@markgreiser464]

They were the fastest hands , in the West. God bless Texas, and God rest Stevie Ray Vaughn.

[@neckmangler]

I had the same chills over 40years ago when I heard Jimi Hendrix do this song.

[@leegoldman7491]

That is Tommy Shannon on bass and Chris Layton on the drum kit, a note on the life of SRV, Stevie slowly became an alcoholic and a cocaine user and over the years it worsen til he finally went to a hospital in London for he was throwing up blood and for the last four years of his life he was clean and sober, and for about 15 minutes at the end of his performance he would talk to the audience about this horrible disease he became an ambassador on becoming drug free for the world...RIP Stevie you've earned it and Stevie never stop playing...

[@joehartmann9353]

I saw Stevie in concert the night before he died. SRV, Jeff Healy and Eric Clapton. Ticket price $20!

[@Jeffbambam]

Thank you for keeping my musical heros music alive and out there for the youth of today to experience. RIP SRV, YOU ARE STILL THE GOAT 🐐 🎸!

[@justinthyme5382]

It's so good Seeing young people getting and keeping this music alive. 😎👋🎶🎵🎶🦘

[@eximusic]

The part where you said he was just shaking his guitar, he was actually using a foot pedal (wah wah pedal) to get that effect. SRV was a bit of trying to out Hendrix Hendrix.

[@ionianatlas7037]

It's nice to see such a young person loving the best guitarist of all time. Try "The Sky is Crying".

[@egbertwoltjer4491]

Like Stevie so much his playing amd everything you say Verdy Texas Flood and this one amd many more and i also like youre face expression 😊

[@perrybernard1308]

Great reaction.. I'm addicted to watching people react to SRV. Your reaction was the same as mine. In awe at first sight...

[@UnivegaSuperSport]

1:41 11:12 11:46 If you watch his right hand closely you will see him quickly adjusting those round tone and volume knobs with his pinky finger while playing. Nothing is "out of adjustment". It's what he has to do in order to get the sound he wants at that time. That's one of those things that make his sound so recognizable. You could hand his guitar to another accomplished player, playing the same notes but he wouldn't sound like SRV. This was filmed at Austin City Limits studio. They know how to film a performance without the distracting camera shot changes every 5 seconds. If you view a lot of his performances, you can see a BIG difference in his physical appearance here in '89 versus earlier performances. He had a bad time with coke and booze early on and later got sober.

[@salsonny]

Both him n Hendrix were here on earth for a short time, the Impact they made......

[@nevele3395]

Stevie’s version of “Little Wing” is epic…you’ll love it..

[@konstantinosarvanitidis3324]

Verdy, I love you girl, god bless you and merry Christmas to you and your family! "Life Without You" (live in Capital Theatre) must be the next one from Stevie! 🎅🏻🎄🤘🏻

[@jeffdempsey6478]

Saw that soccer ball in the background. Hope it's a trophy 🏆 or some good memory. Played but was a better coach😉. My teams Won......love the game. Ps Stevie was and will always be a badass! God rest his soul.

[@jasonbarlow8263]

I get chills when i watch this performance live too kiddo❤

[@randalladams7692]

That's how you jam I knew you would like this you love your guitar 🎸 solos he's a badass good one rock on

[@jaimepapa662]

Hi Verdy, once again a great reaction to this great guitarist (RIP). Although what makes me most happy is to see Page and Plant on your wall...😎 I had a very similar poster in my room when I was a teenager. It brought back good memories.🤤

[@wabatong444]

This of course is him doing his hero/fellow guitar player proud by the name of Jimi Hendrix.... This was his song off his very first one ' Are You Experienced'??? Need we say more???

[@r.c.7726]

[@poppiethestable1090]

STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN...Life without you...live

[@gregmardon6973]

I just discovered you, very good job. It's the old wives tale says he was born with a guitar, I heard one of his friends said that when he was young he wanted to actually play the drums. But thankfully he's stuck with the guitar that he was born with, and one of his songs never needed vocals because he spoke through his guitar.

[@cheesesteak59]

My first time seeing this particular version. Thanks.

[@harrietmiller3982]

What a great reaction👏🙌 you really get him and you are in for such a treat discovering this amazing artist's work. I love his own compositions the best but one recommendation for now to appreciate his great touch with down and dirty blues is Stevie with Double Trouble of course and Johnny Copeland performing Tin Pan Alley at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. A master class for sure. Thanks for this today! I look forward to more from you✌️💙

[@benoitmassey3283]

En fin une petite québécoise pour apprécier le bon vieux stock de ma génération ,je suis musiciens et sa me ramène de très bon souvenir .Félicitations Verdy.

[@billnu]

That bass is awesome. They were all so good together.

[@timothybush9633]

Hi Verde, Stevie was the GOAT, the world lost him on 8/27/1990 RIP🙏 now that you've seen Voodoo Child look at the same concert from Austin City Limits and the song Look At Little Sister and see an Amazing Guitar swap in the middle of the song😎

[@oleukeman]

Have you seen any videos of him and his brother, Jimmy, playing a double neck guitar together at the same time? Worth checking out. Stevie was incredible. Taken from us way too early. Thanks for the videos.

[@Tr1hawaii]

Happy you’re experiencing this guitar master. I always enjoy young people finding things for the first time; it make the heart happy! Keep on keeping on!

[@amachvt]

Love your reaction and especially seeing the younger generation learn about Stevie and appreciate his immense talent. Definitely stick to the live performances as you said he is mesmerizing to watch. I love his performance of Lenny at El Mocambo, the playing is incredible and he puts so much feel and emotion into the song. Enjoy!

[@johnathanstruble1064]

So glad to see you again! Great reaction Ms Verdy. Keep em coming.

[@Valhalrik]

This was done live at the Austin City Limits. Austin Texas.

[@danielmcguinness4036]

Stevie !!! Let's Go !!!

[@gilballmes9709]

Check SRV, at the same concert playing, "Look At Little Sister". There's a great surprise towards the end.

[@GaetanBeauvallet]

Congratulations young ladie, you have good taste in music !!!

[@TonyWaller-oy8ls]

My favorite Stevie Ray Vaughan song is "Tin Pan Alley" with Johnny Copeland

[@midnitesunblues]

Stevie said he was living on borrowed time now (after his 1986 near death collapse) and lived each minute in a state of gratitude.He was a precious soul.The angels celebrated when he took his place with them. You should really watch "Life Without You" live at the Capitol Theater, NJ 9/21/1985. He wrote that song for his friend who died suddenly. Stevie took his friend's death and made a beautiful tribute song which he was actually afraid to try to sing onstage for fear he wouldn't be able to do it without breaking down.

[@michaelshepardson8436]

"So, I'm going to bring back the solo" on an SRV song...so, I guess you are just going to start over. Love your reactions!

[@jta1973]

I watched this broadcast live on an old television show called "Austin City Limits".

[@markbraxton1289]

What a cuteness and that accent !😊

[@marvinngawaka9091]

you got chills you just felt his spirit

[@cliffwages1452]

Stevie Ray Vaughan was a force of nature…..he played with reckless abandonment! Another great reaction👏🏻❤️

[@joeblankenship377]

Yeah, and it just pours from him like turning on a faucet. He's got the blues on tap.

[@casimirok2760]

Saw him do this song in 85 Seattle!! Ladies and gentlemen Jimi Hendrix has left the building 😊

[@eclecticexplorer7828]

This was written by Jimi Hendrix based on a song called alternatively "Catfish Blues" or "Rolling Stone" by Muddy Waters.

[@eduardogarate5396]

Thanks SRV... honour 4u and Jimi!!

[@yellowbeardjamesgibson9297]

Cher Verdy, Mon Doux Québécois, On ne peut jamais se tromper avec Stevie Ray Vaughan. Des performances incroyables encore une fois!

[@z-man2343]

Verdy, I swear you have the best "stank face" of any reactors, especially for Stevie Ray. It's very easy to see how much you actually feel the intensity of his playing. Looks like you're sweating almost as much as he is!

[@dylanjonson268]

Muy bueno tu canal.!! Me encanta!! Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

[@skipjohnson7255]

You'll never see another like him , G.O.A.T.

[@astrodoops]

I love how you were singing the notes!

[@ed.z.]

I used to travel far distances to see him perform. I’ve seen this video so many times I can sing along with the solos. It keeps getting better. Such an enjoyable reaction. Gratefully appreciate you.

[@whiteblack5441]

ohello miss verdy...we wish the past well...why do stars fall down from the sky everytime u walk by? lol...happy holidays miss young lady...whiteall is well
