Steve Ray Vaughan Voodoo child reaction live!My first time hearing any SRV song.It was incredible!

[@mariolevasseur731]

The legend BB King Even Called Stevie Ray Vaughan the greatest blues guitar player to have ever lived.

[@NotKateHepburn]

Stevie Ray loved Jimi Hendrix. In an interview in 1985, he said: “I love Hendrix’s music and I just feel it’s important for people to hear him. I know if I take care of his music that it will take care of me. I treat it with respect-not as a burden. See, I still listen to Hendrix all the time, and I doubt I’ll ever quit."

[@ella5319]

SRV would never say he would be put above Jimmi Hendrick, he was the most humble man, admired & respected all the ones that came before him. He was an overcomer too, getting sober beford he passed. God Rest his soul.

[@taylorjeremy71]

Truth. There's a story about Stevie going ballistic on a promoter because when he showed up to the gig BB King was playing. He asked the promoter what was going on and he was told that BB King is the opening act. This was a tremendous injustice to Stevie. Stevie didn't care that his band was the hot band at the time selling millions of dollars of records. He thought that they should be opening for BB King. He valued his heroes and honored them.

[@rickkemp2749]

Let's not forget he's bending 13 gauge strings like they were made of thread. You need two more songs to determine his place among guitarists? Texas Flood, and Little Wing from the El Mocambo, 1983. When you done with those, then hear everything else he ever did.

[@memnoch.div_0]

He's only one man with 1000s of requests, don't be rude and give him a giant play list request without even contributing to his bank.

[@mrhalfstep]

Ditto on those two songs.

[@johnroof2663]

No one I know of that play to this day can play with13 Gauge shredders And if you watch the way he bends those guitar strings. SRV has the The trade patient on that sound.

[@yesorlando05]

I've been a musician since 1977 and have heard all of the greats. Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Eric Clapton, Eric Johnson, etc. They're all insanely talented. But, in my opinion, I do not know of anyone who can do with a guitar (or any other instrument) what he can do or utterly dominate any instrument to the level that he does a with guitar. In terms of the great drummers, singers, groups, etc. where it's so hard to separate one from the pack, to me, Stevie is on a totally different level than his peers. Again, no other guitarist can do the total combination of things he can do at the highest level possible (emotion, speed, technical ability, never plays the same song the same way twice, can make the guitar sound any way he wants to convey his musical interpretation, never been able to read music, can even play like a total beast literally behind his back, ect., etc., etc.). No one has that combination. Not even close. The music just flows from him. Some great videos to get a good feel of his level of talent that would be great to see you react to would be a version of "Voodoo Child" at a Nashville concert in 1983 kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppaWeGqmZr9grrc . Three other songs from probably the best concert he ever performed at a music venue in Toronto called El Mocambo also in 1983 - "Little Wing" (another Jimi cover) kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2eqZmZ4gsyondE , "Texas Flood" (Stevie original) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXSYeWyGaatoi80 , and "Lenny" (Stevie original, a song he wrote for his wife) kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2bWon2Ee6uqp8U . You did an incredible job in this reaction and I really look forward to seeing Stevie reactions to these other song. God bless!

[@kens32052]

What's funny is SRV couldn't read music.

[@davidwalker5054]

Stevie is jawdroppin. But i think Django is still the boss. He couldn't read music he didn't even know the notes on the guitar or what chords he was playing

[@dontherealartist]

@@davidwalker5054 And Django played with the two fingers left from a burnt hand.

[@dontherealartist]

Roy Clark. Django. Jerry Reed, Glen Campbell. Stevie Ray was a fabulous One-Trick-Poney, but not alone in greatness.

[@murraytomlinson6562]

In my opinion, Stevie Ray is the best. That is not meant to minimize the talent of Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton or any other fantastic guitarists. Stevie Ray played from the depths of his soul. He reached into the soul of those who listened to him, watched him play. He was unique. One of a kind. No one could ever play like Stevie.

[@jamesmaxwell9600]

Texas Flood live at the El Macambo is amazing. Lenny live from the El Macambo is a beautiful song.

[@RMLtiger]

Texas Flood at El Mocambo will blow his mind for sure!

[@ladyshar42]

this one for sure

[@bigbluelou1562]

This. This is the one. Also, Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland is a masterpiece.

[@Movierebel3]

Etta James absolutely loved him. I mean, loved the guy. Wrote about him in her autobiography. "Baddest of all the white boys," is what she called him. She went on to say, "He may have been white, but that boy was born with a black soul." Said growing up in abject poverty and in a black neighborhood, that was what he identified with. That's what he knew. It's who he was. You have to figure, Etta James knew what she was talking about. She was a legend in her own right.

[@TheSarahbeach100]

What was the name of the book etta James wrote I would love to read it.

[@wookiepie2285]

He got that k8nd of respect and love from Muddy Waters too.

[@veryinteresting591]

He grew up in a Dallas suburb (Pleasant Grove). It was a white neighborhood, not “all black” as described.

[@Movierebel3]

@@veryinteresting591 WTF are you talking about? You're way wrong. He grew up on Glenfield Ave. in Oak Cliff, dude.. His freaking childhood home is on the Dallas registry. You're way off. Oak Cliff is predominantly Black. Been that way for decades. Pleasant Grove is on the entirely opposite side of the city. That's not even on the same side of town where his neighborhood was.

[@davidwalker5054]

What i really admire and respect about Stevie is when he,s on stage with his old blues guitar hero,s. He takes a back seat and steps off the gass showing respect because if he let loose he would make any guitarist look ordinary

[@georgeclarke8137]

Lots of Hendrix in this man. It was a terrible loss to the Blues Community when he died in that helicopter accident and to the Rock Community as well. He was one of a kind.

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

Jimi's lyrics go: "If I don't see you no more in this world, see you in the next one and don't be late." R.I.P. Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan

[@nicoleteague2476]

Mary- I love this. its a beautiful beautiful quote...you brought tears. Comparisons have never brought grace...they both deserve to be so highly honored, as they honored.... music, and clearly each other. ... I was lucky enough to briefly meet met SRV, in 1983. He stopped at my Dads jewelry business (handmade by Dad/he bought a nice ring for show -he was very happy about it..was wearing it that night --#Keystone- i was too young, for that venue..but have always known good noise when I heard it/extended family in music-RIP most special man, Tim Bogert) Tim loved his life, and felt honored to be able to give, and do what he did. hugs- go see a live show :)

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

@@nicoleteague2476 Nicole, thanks for your reply. I agree, you cannot compare those 2 artists. I saw Jimi live once when I was 14 in SF. I had many chances to see SRV (you were referring to the Keystone Berkeley?) but put it off and then it was too late. So glad you had music growing up; me too; I grew up in a musical family also growing up in Berkeley in the 60's and 70's was an amazing time and place for music.

[@themank99]

Could not agree more. Clean, and his bends are so precise without loosing the feel. Unmatched in my opinion. You should try Couldn't stand the weather, a really funky tune written by Stevie.

[@dovthiessen]

I have played and studied guitar for 30 years. I started with heavy metal and transitioned to classical guitar. But I’ve always been an SRV fan. IMO he is #1 of all time , across all genres and styles and decades of the guitar. The music flows through him like he is a conduit of pure fire from above. Thank you SRV.

[@jimralston7562]

I was blessed to see him perform 10 times. Omg it was a spiritual experience - no exageration. Texas Flood at El Mocombo may be the all time best electric blues performance ever. Watch it and think how many blues licks does this guy do. The blues just blasts out from him. This performance of Voodoo Child is laid back. The Nashville show is the other extreme. Want the mellow and soulful Stevie? Riviera Paradise at Austin City Limits. Yes Stevie ia another rabbit hole... RIP SRV

[@mikecalderon5251]

I totally agree!!!

I got to breathe his air, the same air he was minutes before he met Jesus in 1990. Alpine Valley Wisconsin,I watched his helicopter take off into the fog. Next morning we cried like babies.

[@danielwilliams6952]

Stevie Ray was the GOAT, the best guitar player ever. He wasn't human. Keep watching Stevie, he'll touch your soul. Wait till u see him play behind his back

[@Thomas-qe7ez]

It’ll always be SRV for me Harri. That said, you put it perfectly that guitar is art and all opinions are valid and most welcome. Jimi was no doubt more brilliant as a writer/composer, and he is the one who pushed the limits of technique. There’s a reason that Jimi was one of SRV’s great heroes. In any event, I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction and thoughts. Also - if truly interested, watch SRV play this same song in Nashville. I’ve never seen anything remotely like it. Best wishes and keep care. Looking forward to following your channel.

[@bbb462cid]

When SRV was still Stevie Vaughan he played Hendrix in his sets fairly often. He was on the blues scene but he was considered a hot rod guitarist, less bluesman than his big brother for sure. Stevie was not afraid of excess, Jimmie played with restraint. When he became Stevie Ray Vaughan, he didn't do Hendrix as much, he was worried it was disrespectful and he also didn't want to be a Hendrix act. Other guys did (and do) Hendrix more note-for-note than Stevie did, but Stevie _explored_ and _built on_ Hendrix like nobody else; it wasn't SRV simply doing Hendrix. Hendrix blew his mind just like Jimi did to everybody, but to Stevie it was something he could pay homage to, to celebrate that music with. Stevie had a wah-wah that was Hendrix's, but it was really his brother Jimmie that knew Hendrix personally to any extent; Stevie wasn't quite 16 when Jimi Hendrix died but Jimmie Vaughan was 19 and already a star. When SRV played a Hendrix song, SRV felt that Hendrix was _moving through him_ as if Stevie was just a vessel holding Hendrix's influence, an instrument of Hendrix that the music was forced through. Stevie was pretty spiritual. When he played 3rd Stone from the Sun, you were on a cosmic journey, just like Hendrix took you on. Who can say Stevie was wrong? Stevie probably felt a great connection to this song,: when he played Voodoo Child (slight return) he damn well chopped down moutains with the edge of his hand and then picked up the pieces and built strange fantastic islands of his own.

[@maragore3478]

Hey Harri, I have seen and listened to alot of people and their reactions and besides on other you have the best reactions to StevieRay and right off the top you hit the nail right on the head with the words that you described Stevie Ray. Your words were so true about him and his playing. I don't know if you have read anything about Stevie Ray, but if you could you would read how from beginning to end he never gave up on his ability to keep doing his best. But life doesn't give us any true meaning we make our own choices but Stevie Ray didn't make the choice for his untimely death and the greatest loss to the music world. A awesome human being, humble and soft spoken man with a talent that to this day no one will ever have because there is and was only one Stevie Ray Vaughan....may he rest in peaceful sleep while we still weep......

[@anthonydavies5605]

I wonder how many, mesmerised by his playing, actually notice the constant little adjustments he's making to the volume, tone and pickup selectors at the same time. So fast as to be almost invisible!

[@richknapp3500]

Stevie is the GOAT!!!

[@ttrocks5985]

Thanks for the reaction. It's nice to see someone discovering SRV for the first time. Maybe check out his performance, with Johnny Copeland, at Montreux, of "Tin Pan Alley". Totally different vibe - classic blues done to perfection.

[@michaelstogsdill6989]

SRV was in a class of his own. Sad he left us so soon. Even sadder is knowing through out much of his career he was addicted to whiskey and cocaine. Only a few years before his death he got sober, his skills improved immensely as a result. RIP Stevie. You are missed.

[@samkeepintherockalive]

Ladies and gentlemen welcome to some Texas Blues, SRV style!!

[@robichj]

Stevie Ray Vaughan's guitar playing is heavily influenced by the blues, even in this song which makes it quite unique in itself. I have seen him play live in local clubs where I live. He was not commercially successful like Led Zepplin or other top bands. He had a sort of niche following...he was appreciated most by guitar lovers and enthusiasts.

[@matthewwright5802]

Glad you did his reaction. He lived 15 minutes away from me here in Dallas. And he was a reckoning. Texas Flood should be next on your list. Live at El Mocambo is his best version, but you will be blocked trying to post that one unless you pur a watermark on it. But it is his best and you will see him really go full on. He was amazing and so is his brother who lives in Austin

[@HarriBestReactions]

Oh wow! So sad...Ill see what i can do about the Texas Flood.Cos i recorded one already.Cheers

[@matthewwright5802]

Thank you good sir, yes he is considered a legend over here and a Texas Jewel. I can't believe he was just living down the street from me while I was in high school in the late 80s where he grew up in one of the suburbs here in Dallas. Always loved his music. Funny in your video you mentioned great guitarists and Eric Clapton said he heard 2 of SRV's songs and had to leave because if he heard another of his songs he would quit playing music.

[@adamdunbar8260]

Stevie never got lost in his playing. Jimi was a little sloppy because he had so much going on in his head it came out as a bit messy. I love them both.

[@double00spy]

Such greatness! And does that band play TIGHT and CLEAN??!! Wow! just Wow!

[@sherylstone8804]

SRV adds his own style to this song while remaining true to Hendrix. Stevie was a fan of Hendrix and "studied" his guitar work. You will notice he uses some of Jimi's tricks. I don't think there is one greatest guitarist. We've been blessed in this way.

[@buddytesla]

Stevie had a problem when he borrowed other people’s guitars he would often break the necks off of them because he was accustomed to gripping them so hard.

I appreciate the respect you gave Stevie Ray Vaughan. His fans would call him Stevie. I lived about thirty miles from where he had his concert at an outdoor venue one foggy evening. There was a hill that you'd sit on to see the stage set back from a roofed section. After his show, he climbed into his helicopter and pilot didn't ascent straight up, but up + forward and the rotors made contact with the fog shrouded hill. We miss him. RIP SRV

Jimmie Vaughan gave a tape to Jimi at woodstock. After the gig he watched the tape. And gave it back the next day and said you tell your brother he plays the guitar better then me.

EPIC performance by Stevie Ray Vaughn. One of those rare instances when a successor stole a song from the originator and made it theirs. I am a forever fan of Jimi Hendrix since grade school in the late 60's, but when I hear this song, I hear Stevie from Austin City Limits which I have on tape!

[@nrubsol]

I love Stevie's stank face. He really nails the Doppler effect twice, early in this performance. Hendrix was a genius who broke so much ground in guitar playing/performance but Stevie (a committed Hendrix and blues acolyte) perfected and excelled in his technique and delivery. Stevie was more consistent and smooth. He had more blues tricks up his sleeve than anyone. A dedicated bluesman, he rarely played the same piece the same way twice. Very improvisational. An absolute master of his art. Gone too soon. RIP

[@kevinsenquiz8735]

[@lahnawood447]

I don't know if anyone has any mentioned any of this yet, but Stevie was on tour with Eric Clapton when he died. He played with BB King, Albert King, on a David Bowie album, admired by Mick Jagger and many others including blues greats. Greatness is determined by talent and one's own personal preferences. He was the first white man to win a Grammy for the blues. I think he even won two. I am not an expert on SRV, I have just picked some info along the way. He kicked drugs and alcohol.

[@robertlavorna2968]

My husband was big into Stevie Ray. Played his debut album all the time. Shortly before his second album came out (the one that Voodoo Chile is on) he came to play at a small club in Washington, DC called the Wax Museum. There was no way my husband was going to miss this conceert! So both of us went. There were no bad seats at this club. Needless to say, when he played Voodoo Chile the audience went nuts. Even though I was not as into him as my husband was there was no denying that he was a very special artist with immense talent.

For me he's number 1 The way that I look at it Jimi was the innovator and Stevie with all respect given to Jimi took the z Jimi sounds and made it much cleaner, sure technology has something to do with that BUT Stevie used Jimi's WAH pedal(the actual one) live on stage every night.

Man my top 3 guitarists are Stevie, Jimi, and Prince. No particular order. And anyone that doubts Prince should watch his solo on While My Guitar Gently Weeps from the 2008 rocknroll hall of fame.

I always wonder what Jimi would say... at least they're together now 😎🤘💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥

SRV was not just showing off... he was actually performing out of respect (a tribute) for Jimmy Hendrix. He played left handed... upside down and such because Jimmy was such a big influence. And of course SRV became an inspiration for others too. I remember a cool story where Eric Clapton heard him over the radio and pulled over off the road just to soak in the mastery of this guy. He stated he knew no one who could improvise over and over again w/o any breaks in the transitions or creative changes.

meet you on the next one, and dont be late.......more about jimis own mortality......SRV great...but theres nothing like listening to jimis versions.....this song alone completely led the way to what can be done with a guitar...i havent heard anything any better since....

Wonderful reaction. Lenny live at the el Mocambo is an absolutely gorgeous instrumental he wrote for his wife. It never gets old. It takes me on a journey every single time. His guitar is plugged directly into his soul it seems. I hope your curiosity is piqued enough to continue down the SRV rabbit hole. Enjoy!
