Stevie Ray Vaughan greatest guitarists of all time

[@gramps6334]

This whole session is fire. Two GOATS!

[@goldenruletv7301]

This is Pure Joy to watch and listen to. Absolute greatness.

[@frankfritz7389]

That my man is pure respect of one of his idols, not a match..love and adoration.

[@jking2584]

Jesus thank you lord. This is genius putting these two together.

[@watchwmn]

Knew you'de love this, it don't get no better, the best blues guitarist ever, on the same stage, I done died and went to heaven....

[@thomasfreeman2088]

I have this whole recorded session and several times Albert chides Stevie for holding back and encourages him to stop holding back and Stevie would just smile and do a brief flash then kick it back to Albert. Such humility and he was always so held back when he played with those he considered legends.

[@AndrewVOdom]

I don’t recall it that way. He encourages SRV but also counsels that playing too fast and forgetting that “less is more”..: Making that one note count can be half the battle! Albert wrung so much out of his licks and reminded all that it’s not about speed… SRV covered that well (“you got ‘em both”..:

[@mariolevasseur731]

Back in the day Albert King didn't like to share his stage with any guitars. In fact he didn't like any of them. When he met Stevie, there was an instant bond. Stevie considered Albert is Godfather. And Albert loved him like a son. You can tell by the video. He would also always tell Stevie he can always do better. Tough love

[@richardkarl4415]

Yes srv idol

[@thomasfreeman2088]

Stevie loved playing with the masters of the blues.....he always holds back and let's them shine brighter. He was so talented and gifted and missed.

[@mik9124]

How much respect could gave to each other is showen right here . Great this happend at it's best

[@mik9124]

This was like .... come on , let's melt it together ... what a great jam this was

[@nolacrenshaw6978]

Excellent reaction! Your observations were spot on!

[@The5thGen]

Albert King is great!

[@melaniesmith2917]

Soo much cool 😍

[@sallyshipwreck4315]

It's such a delight to watch these two play. Yes, he had a lot of respect for his elders and mentors. Thanks for this!

[@The5thGen]

I can remember the exact moment and where I was when I heard that SRV died.

[@barbarascotto3873]

A little under two months short of 31 years and it still makes me cry.

[@AndrewVOdom]

Same here. And when Albert King died as well.

[@aloisemason3972]

Albert King has finally .et with his match and is surprised at all the talent Stevie Ray Vaughan gives to him

[@jackscott5593]

SRV ~ 🎸🐐 You can definitely see the love shared between these two icons. Albert looking like a proud daddy and Stevie grinning from ear to ear...priceless. There is little doubt as to who Stevie's #1 influence was.

[@glenndespres5317]

Harri! Thank you for this one! Two greats collaborating and pushing each other and supporting each other to be BEST! This is a freakin’ GEM!

[@barbarascotto3873]

Stevie is the greatest guitarist ever in history.

[@The5thGen]

I regret not going to see Stevie Ray when I had the chance when he toured with Jeff Beck. I would love to travel down through the Mississippi Delta and find some of those old juke joints ( if they still exist ).

[@conniehorton1981]

It was so good to see you react to Stevie again!!!

[@jamesrapp9778]

I know mate, it's all bout the GROOVE...😎👌

[@sammack1564]

Albert's laying down a funky rhythm guitar groove during Stevie's last solo and Albert's last solo is badass!!

[@harrietmiller3982]

🙌👏🙌🎶🎸🎶‼️i clicked on as soon as I saw Harri finally circled back to Stevie Ray! And this is one of my favorites, I am sure I even recommended it. And yes, you are right these two incredibly talented musicians were having themselves a fine conversation between themselves. No room for ego at that level of musicianship. Just the pure joy of making great music with a peer is all the reward they need. Stevie was never happier than when he got to ham with all the greats that he had looked up to all his life. When Stevie first heard an Albert King recording when he was a young kid changed his life. He wanted to play like Albert. So this whole 90 minute session is magic. Albert loved Stevie like a son. Great pic and great reaction Harri🎉🪅👏🎸🎶‼️ For a recommendation for something from Stevie may I suggest "Lenny" performed in Japan. It is a beautiful instrumental soulful love song he wrote and this is an exquisite performance. Most people would say do the El Macombo version and that was a very special one as well. I would love to see you react to the Japan performance. Thanks Harri❣️. I hope all is well with you✌️🦋

[@emmafarr770]

As I would say back in the day that was far out man now I know of Albert King love him that was over the top fabulous delicious loved it

[@omniversalll]

Loved this, that entire jam session is so so good. An incredibly good Stevie performance to react to would be Lenny (specifically the El Mocambo version). Gets my heart going every time, such a powerful performance.

[@harrietmiller3982]

His Lenny in Japan is exquisite beyond measure🌹

[@johnianknox1629]

Harri, this is the REAL STUFF, blues/rock at it's very best, fantastic reaction. You've got to hear Albert's "Born under a bad sign", now I love Cream's version but you can't beat the original and best. Take care kid and cheerio from Glasgow.

[@tajeetjugmohan9175]

Stevie and Jeff Healey----------------------------------------Look at little sister. Oh- you will have fun.

[@hippiejoe969]

Hey Harri, I remember watching this sessions jam on TV and being completely blown away by both Albert King and SRV. a few years later in 89 and 90 I was fortunate enough to have seen SRV in concert. As a matter of fact in 90 it was July 15th, my wife's birthday, I was 21years old and 1 month later was his horrible helicopter crash. I still remember how it shook me up. Anyway there is so much greatness to be seen, I can't wait for your reaction, but I won't spoil it for you. Thanks. Check out Texas Flood live at the El Macambo and you'll see. PEACE.

[@shirleybuffington6420]

If you listen close to the end Stevie said and I won’t

[@GinMae]

Thanks, Harri - I think that toward the end Albert was repeating SRV's "ad-lib" licks -- you see that smile on Stevie! He was thrilled to be playing with this legend, and also to have Albert give him a nod!

[@adamellis6785]

Stevie held Albert in such high esteem that it never occurred to him to try to "one up" him. Another guitar player that loved Albert was Gary Moore, who not only wrote a tribute song to him, but also had Albert play WITH him on that tribute song, among a number of other tracks off that same album ("Still Got the Blues"). The difference is, when Gary and Albert had their back-and-forth moments, Gary always tried to show off. Not (I think) to show him up, or make himself look like the better player, but more like a little kid that can't help showing off in front of his grandfather. It seems to me it's more a case of doing all he can to gain his idol's approval.

[@dreww1609]

Watch "Pipeline" with Stevie and his brother Jimi - it is a "must see to believe clip"; "So Excited" from El Mocambo he just shows his unachievable monster tone and murders this song; "Blues at Sunrise" from this show with Albert; and if you can past the copy, his entire 3 song MTV Unplugged on a 12 String - so hard to play he makes it loo like a toy - or just try one, "Rude Mood" from that set...any new SRV fan at some point goes "god, man what would an SRV Unplugged be like!?" Well wonder no more, it exists and is as amazing as you'd expect...thanks for all the great vids! The Radiohead list you were given really was an odd song list for a new listener - check out "Wierd Fishes' and Reckoner''- Live From the Basement" and "Paranoid Android" to uncover just why they are so worshipped as the Gen X 'Beatles' - it is legit and I am afraid you just got maybe not the best intro to a band you could easily lose yourself in for life.

[@shirleybuffington6420]

You should check out blues at sunrise from the same session it is as good as this one

[@annmills3163]

They did a whole show, you can find that video or several different clips from the show

[@tajeetjugmohan9175]

Too bad they don't make them like that anymore.

[@damonhines8187]

If you notice, Albert plays upside down and backwards... as you can imagine, Hendrix loved and absorbed him too.

[@damonhines8187]

@@hippiejoe969 fair enough, the mother-of-pearl or whatever was inlaid right side up and it's regular-type legible. Relative to the standard orientation to the body then.

[@wgdavis5353]

Hi Mr. Harri, Not bad for 2 amateur upstarts.. ☻ ♠W.G.

[@brianadams5996]

Texas flood from the el macambo to me is the best version of this song. By far.

[@louisleroy4580]

Did you notice anything odd? Look very close Albert King's strings are upside down and he's playing left-handed 🤘

[@richardkarl4415]

Pipeline with his brother Jimmie

[@my1_ball615]

Did you notice Albert King's strings are upside down?

[@brianadams5996]

I believe he was leaving Wisconsin to go to day on the green in Oakland. But that may have been a few dates before. I know he was going to play there but never made it. RIP

[@tajeetjugmohan9175]

Did you do polk salad annie by Elvis?

[@michaelgolliher888]

Should watch Stevie and his brother Jimmie play the same guitar
