THIS IS INCREDIBLE!! First Time Reaction to Stevie Ray Vaughan - "Texas Flood"

[@StaceyRPGReacts]

Hey yall! Sadly, I had to obstruct the visuals for this video :( I hate when I have to do this but KZbin would’ve blocked the video if I didn’t and yall wouldn’t have been able to watch it. Thanks for understanding and join the Patreon if you wish to watch the videos without obstruction! 🩷

[@richd66-p4o]

I pretty much know the video by heart from all the times I watched it. Seeing you react to it is almost like seeing it for the first time again and now I can watch your reaction and feel that anytime.

[@lucancherby]

I'm sure pretty much everybody on this channel don't really care about the video being obstructed. We're all watching you sweetie

[@cirdecsongs]

The music matters more. Don’t worry about it.

[@wanderer85295]

Great pick. SRV was a once in a lifetime talent . Seeing him live was a blessing and one of the greatest thrills ( musically speaking) of my life.

[@silentblast9067]

One of the best, if not the best, reaction to SRV I've seen. You preserve the artistic creativity and keep the reaction about the artist. I watch reactions to see in your face, the shock of mastery of an artist like SRV. When your face goes blank, as you said, that brings joy to all of us. You're amazing.

[@jimo7593]

I met SRV just months before he passed. He was simply sitting on the edge of the stage after the show, shaking hands and talking with everyone. Such a humble guy

[@JeffreyTheTaylor]

My standard SRV reax comment: I was lucky enough to see him at a smallish venue. Ten minutes into the show you feared for his life, 30 minutes in you feared for yours. Just a total and complete force of nature, music poured out of him. RIP.

[@LukeMaynard]

I love, love, LOVE small-venue music. I love it for ANYBODY. I don't care if you're Stevie Ray, or Elton John, or Queen, or even Taylor Swift. There's a lot of people who can command a stadium full of 50,000 people with all the bells and whistles. That's easy. But put all of the above on a tiny stage in a dive bar, performing their faces off for about 30 people, and you find out who the real deal is. I sometimes wish I could see more "pop stars" in that context, and I'm sad that that's now how pop music works anymore. I don't want to see Lady Gaga in a ridiculous costume, Autotuned to hell on 9" platform heels as the lasers and gyrating dancers are doing their thing. I want to see her the way she was with Tony Bennett--actually playing her own instrument with a live band, unfiltered by the gadgetry, showing me the actual talent that landed her a record contract in the first place. I'm so glad that Stevie Ray never had to deal with the nature of 21st-century pop music. He's one of the biggest rockstars I can name, but I could never imagine him hidden behind that gadgetry, not even for a second.

[@lathedauphinot6820]

Sometimes it was kinda spooky, like Stevie was in a trance, tapped in through the Ouija board, leaving his body open for any spirit or ghost of a deceased master guitarist to wander over and play through him, because sometimes there were sudden lurches in the musical styles being played, and Stevie would stop and stare or smile, like “Whoa! Where did that come from?”, and it sounded without a doubt like more than one guitarist playing.

[@donrondo407]

I am jealous that you get to listen to Stevie Ray Vaughan for the first time!

It's a comment that gets dragged out all the time but SRV makes people that have never played guitar want to learn and anyone that does play want to throw their guitar away.

The late great B.B. King said when he plays, his guitar speaks in sentences. He went on to say that when Stevie plays, his guitar speaks in paragraphs.

[@kenrathbun9383]

The ENTIRE "Texas Flood" album is well worth checking out. His best one, in my opinion.

[@tom7471]

I feel Stevie Ray was one of, if not the greatest guitar player of all time, and certainly leads that conversation with only a select couple. It is sad to think he died very young (35yo) in a helicopter crash after leaving a concert in Wisconsin. Truly a loss for his loved ones and lovers of music. Thanks for the great reaction!

[@chrisstone5868]

Tom.. ya just kinda nailed it! I do NOT at all like making comparisons, just because I feel like it takes away from an Artists true identity. So your message, to me, was best way to explain his talent. SRV was a “Multi-Verse” ahead of his time. And my wife’s family is from Wisconsin, LOVES SRV, and still tells this story. Others equate his death to that of “Richie Valens” plane crash story.

[@ChristopherMurphy1969]

Most blues guitarists can make their audience cry with their guitars. SRV is one of the few that can make their guitar literally cry. Legend has it Stevie's #1 Stratocaster is still gently weeping after his tragic death in 1990. Rest in peace, Slinger. No one did it better.

[@ivegotaguitar]

Damn man, SRV forever

[@grelch]

What’s most impressive about the behind the back playing is his flexibility. The dude must have had no ligaments at all. You play it exactly the same as if the guitar is in front of you, but he’s using the entire neck, bending strings while holding g the guitar away from his body. He was a sight to see. He was a little guy, maybe 5’5” in cowboy boots. But he had these massive baseball mitt sized hands that could bend steel, literally. I locked myself in the bathroom at work and cried for an hour when I heard over the radio that he had died. I miss you Stevie Ray. 😢

[@aj_aka_alan]

It never gets old seeing an SRV virgin reaction. This is one of the best performances of all time.

[@EasLosBoomer]

Really really good reaction, he is the GOAT and was taken away from us way too soon. RIP Stevie.

[@kenbrown3171]

he made his guitar whisper, talk, cry and scream... one of the greatest of all time

[@diverdown631]

Riveria Paradise from the 1989 Austin City Limits appearance is a must watch.

[@wakiyan8462]

I Love the way John Mayer explained Stevie's playing...Half brutal force and half finesse, bend as hard and as fast as you can but hit the note like a paper airplane landing perfectly...Some guitarist can do what Stevie does all night for about 10 seconds or so and then the arm falls off...Stevie IMO is a GOAT who always gave his all and I'll bet nobody ever left a concert feeling they got ripped off... ❤Peace...

[@duke68318]

This is what we call an eargasm.PS, his vocals on “Life by the drop” exquisite.

[@srudine]

His call and response between guitar and vocals is priceless. He was truly one of the greats at his craft. He left us way too early! His playing is so emotional.

[@LostHate]

The guitar is an extention of his hands that is directly tied to his soul. Stevie described his sound as high energy blues, and its a perfect description.

[@Rick-or2kq]

When he played, he tap into something beyond.

[@Indo1030]

Saw him play live from the front row a month before the crash. He was mesmerizing to watch. He was the absolute BEST Stevie Ray didn’t ‘play’ music He WAS Music… (PS: you shouldn’t need to block any of his videos-many have reacted to this without blocking it)

[@CelticArmory]

SRV played so good God needed him in His band in heaven.

[@charleycaron3186]

Best thought I’ve read about his passing! I’ll remember it for sure!

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I was lucky enough to see SRV three times in great venues before the helicopter crash. He was one of the best. Rest in peace, brother.

[@richd66-p4o]

I think Stevie Ray and Neil Peart have something in common. They NEVER seemed to be satisfied how well they knew their instrument. Always trying to do more. I have watched this many times and seen several reactors and every one of them reacted the same, jaw dropped and immensely impressed. I am so glad you saw this particular recording, I think one of his best. Thank you!! And Happy Thanksgiving!!!

[@MarissaM312]

SRV is a Texas blues legend. Born in Dallas and adopted by Austin. Divine soul poured through him into his guitar. Great reaction, Stacey! ❤️🙏😊

[@dvaderwasframed]

Lenny is one of my favorites from him. Stevie Ray Vaughan - Lenny (Live at the El Mocambo) Amazing performance. Anything from El Mocabo is banging. The whole concert is pure greatness

[@gharycrawford6628]

Missed him at the El Mo Had to work that night Thank God I got it on DVD RIP Stevie you are so missed!!

[@sydbarrett4388]

I saw SRV in concert 4 months before he passed. Not only was the show fantastic Stevie gave us all a talk about being careful with excessive partying and such. Not preachy at all just some solid advice from a guy who had been through it. RIP Stevie.

[@ericstein5485]

Never got to see him😢

[@13_13k]

He had only recently stopped doing drugs and drinking before his death. I saw him play in February I think it was of the year he passed which was in June or July maybe? my roommate and I flew from Los Angeles to New Orleans for four days of party vacation staying in a small exclusive hotel right on the corner of Bourbon and Toulouse in the center of the French Quarter. We didn't even realize that our trip happened to be the at the same time that The N.O. Jazz Festival was happening until we were on the flight to N.O. and a couple seating across the isle asked us if we had already bought tickets to the concert and we said what concert? They told us and who was playing and the first thing we did when we got to the hotel was have the Concierge purchase us tickets for the Festival. It was such a bonus to add to our vacation.

[@kipknee]

"Holy Crap" is the correct reaction. :-)

[@loveloochay]

What a blistering suggestion !! 🔥🔥🎸🔥🔥 .So ... THIS is Blues music at the top level. I was so fortunate to see Stevie play live back in 1986. He blessed all who watched him and changed how we thought of guitar playing. To me ...... Stevie Ray Vaughan is the best guitarist of all time. I am so glad you got to witness his magic. The other greats : Eric Clapton, Eddie Van Halen, Mark Knopfler, Derrick Trucks, David Gilmour, Jimmy Page, Nancy Wilson, Buddy Guy, Prince, Roy Clark, Jimmy Hendrix, Steve Vai, Joe Walsh, Vince Gill, Terry Kath, Peter Banks, Gary Rossington and others deserve their praise. Some will have someone else as the best ... but not me. You described it quite well , Stevie and the guitar are like one , one perfect union. I will be very excited for your next Stevie Ray reaction ... I will recommend "Little Wing" and "Tin Pan Alley" or "Cold Shot". Enjoy .. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@lanceowens962]

56 year old guy from Texas here. We got to see SRV many times. Yes he was one with his guitar. He sang , but the lead vocals was his guitar. We got to meet him on a few occasions. Very cool guy and just a genuine dude. We ( down here in Texas) we’re just so sad to hear the news in 1990, that he died in a helicopter crash in Wisconsin leaving a show with Eric Clapton, headed to another show in Chicago. 3 transport choppers went up and one didn’t make it. 😢terrible day. We miss him very much. His music lives on! When people in your generation discover him it always makes me smile.

[@leehanson1416]

I got to see him 3 times, once at South Padre Island at spring break. I was driving to work when I heard the news of his death, and had to pull over and sit for a while.

[@Tarkus_]

I love how you said it was like the guitar was an extension of his body. I've been describing him exactly that way for decades now.

[@renejensen7799]

In my opinion, Stevie is the best guitar player EVER!! the music just flow in him.. it was a sad day, the day he crashed in that helicopter, on hes way to a new show.. He is mainly know for playing blues music, and he performed with all the geat ones of that genre, , like BB king, yes all those great ones.. i can tell you this guy made the jaw drop on people like Paul Mcarthny, and Eric clapton, they thought he was unreal to..

[@OldManStache]

This is considered to be the best guitar performance ever recorded, and not by the people, by other guitarists.

As a child of the 60’s & 70’s and a music fan, I’ve seen more than my fair share of concerts, but nothing tops seeing SRV (twice!). I cried the day he was so tragically killed.

Sadley stevie ray vaughan passed away in a helicopter crash but this awesome legend blues player will never be gone in our hearts.

[@piedmontish]

RIP Stevie! Things that popped to my mind: He never seems to get lost during solos; He manhandles super thick strings to make them do what he wants to do!; Like Chris Stapleton (and some other talents) his albums are great, but he is even better Live consistently! What a loss!

[@tommarks3726]

When he flips that guitar around and he keeps playing without interruption is amazing. Somebody call a Priest; the boy is Possessed. lol

[@roadwary56]

SRV was OP in his playing. His moniker was "the Texas hurricane" for a reason. Fattest strings set high on the fretboard and powerful hands were key components of his masterful heavy rich tone. After he got sober later on, he was gone too soon in a helicopter crash after a concert in Wisconsin.

[@bobbyc3895]

Everyone who is familiar with this performance was waiting for THAT moment with the move behind the back. I consider this to be the greatest guitar performance of all time.

[@joehodgett3376]

Stevie Ray Vaughn was one of the most talented Guitar players to live, He put the blues into white households that otherwise never would have listened to The Blues. There are so many who felt Stevie Ray was the reincarnation of Jimi Hendrix, My step dad was one of those people and so am I. One of the few musicians we both love. Stevie transcended generations with his amazing talent.

[@WhoWouldWantThisName]

One thing about Stevie is that you are always in for a treat with EVERY performance due to his constant improvisation. He never played anything the same way twice. Mass props to his band for always keeping up in following his lead.

[@vichraev.5386]

and that STAMINA! No matter how much someone practices, I don't know if one can ever learn or develop that ability to give 100% every moment.

[@vicprovost2561]

Another fender Stratocaster player in the conversation with SRV about great Fender Strat players is Robin Trower. He came from the legendary rock band Procol Harem just after Jimi Hendrix passed and a decade before Stevie Ray, while Stevie has a more blues and blues-rock vibe, Robin was a mix of Blues, Hard Rock and Psychedelia and has the great Jimmy Dewar on killer vocals and bass. His 70s work will make you feel every bit as good as SRV does. I look forward to more SRV and some Robin Trower when you can, these guys were walking advertisements for Fender with their incredible tones. Enjoy!

[@TheDavidDale]

I was at his final concert at Alpine Valley, Wisconsin. He performed his final song, "Sweet Home Chicago", with Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, and his brother Jimmie. It was for all practicable purposes, a jam session. He was the last one to leave the stage after the song ended. As he arrived at the curtain stage right, he turned, and in what in what seemed like slow motion, waved to us, the audience, and strode out of sight. Then, a short time later, he was taken from us when the helicopter he was in flew into the side of a hill while trying to navigate in a very dense fog.

Eric Clapton almost left the concert that Stevie was leaving, in that same flight. We could have lost 2. Loved your reaction.

Saw the midnight show at the old Wax Museum nightclub in DC two days after Christmas in 83. Stood at the foot of the stage and couldn’t believe what I was witnessing. I was able to meet Stevie by his tour bus after the show at Constitution Hall in summer 85. He signed my hat.

You’re reaction is genuine and beautiful. He was one of a kind. There will never be another. There was real music decades ago. There’s so much emphasis on dance routines and graphic lyrics now.

Stevie Ray left puddles of sweat onstage when he performed. Girl - you ain't seen nuthin' yet! YEAHHH, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout! Lovely first react - you must be thinking 'that's just obscene' - LOL. Unfortunately, we lost him in a tragic helicopter crash in1990 at the age of 35. You gotta hear his rendition of Jimi Hendrix's LITTLE WING - he perfected an already great song.

I'm a metalhead, but this performance is definitely one of my favourites for reactions. Stevie improvised *a lot* in his live performances, and he was unquestionably the leader of the band. His band (Double Trouble) was *expert* at looking for his cues and following his lead. Pay attention to how carefully they watch him. You're definitely right that he demanded *a lot* from his guitars. Take a very close look at the guitar he's playing - it looks like it's been in a war zone. At some point, you may see or react to a performance like (Stevie Ray Vaughan - Third Stone from the Sun (from Live at the El Mocambo)), and you will see why it looks that way.

[@mattautio4715]

He was just so damn fluid. That's the thing. With a lot of guitar players, you can almost watch them think things out as they play. They work through the solo or passage as if they studied it. Nothing wrong with that, but that's not Stevie. Stuff just flowed through him, like he was just a medium for it all. He was very special. And yes, let's also applaud that voice. Mounds of raspy soul, but gobs of inflection and blues nuance at the same time. His guitar playing was the same, really.....tough, raunchy, gut-bucket filled glory touched with pieces of T-Bone Walker, Hendrix, Buddy Guy, Albert King and Hubert Sumlin, yet somehow rolled all of them up and spit them out into something that was still all him. No one sounds like him. That's the thing; you know immediately that it's him when you hear him. That's how you know he's great. Oh, and please react to "Where Did You Sleep Last Night " by Nirvana, from MTV Unplugged. Please and thank you.

Last time I saw him was 2 shows before he was killed in a helicopter crash. August 1990 Alpine Valley East Troy Wisconsin. he played with Robert Cray and Eric Clapton.. Many wonderful Memories Loved your reaction to him... Next try "Life Without You" Live at the Capitol Theater He loses a tooth in this video.. Wonderful message in the middle so I hope you react to it... I'm going to check out your Patreon next...

His cover of Jimi Hendrix’s “Voodoo Child” is amazing.

8:02 visceral is the word that escapes you here. His connection is one of transcendent energy given to you through the conduit of your senses. He emotes through his art and that carries mass. It moves you.

SRV, one of the greatest blues guitarists of all time, I was 19 when I learned of his death and I was saddened. He became a legend

Watching you be so blown away by the first three minutes of this masterpiece I just couldn't wait to see what you would do when he started playing behind his back!
