[@46andproud]

To say he was the greatest doesn't even begin to describe his talent. He used the heaviest string gauge that was available. I never saw anyone play with the shear emotion and the rawness that was his style. He was truly magical. The day he died I felt like someone had ripped my heart out. I cried for two days because not just myself but everyone who he touched was robbed. He was finally sober and clean and his music was directly effected in how he had overcome his demons and it was displayed on stage and in the studio in a way that was as if he was literally born all over. Stevie was and will always be the greatest.

[@BronYrAur26]

I saw SRV open for Robert Plant in 1988, and to this day it is one of the best performances I have ever seen. I count my blessings every day that I got to see this genius perform at the peak of his powers.

[@Stretchgood366]

Was lucky to see him in a half empty hall about the same time with Greg Allman opening. Was about two people from the stage. Awesome show.

[@billschafer9668]

I saw the same show in Hartford. Fantastic concert.

[@j.h.3777]

I saw the same show at the Montreal Forum! He got everyone on their feet the whole time and outshone Robert Plant's show completely. I also saw him again as the main act and Jeff Healey opened.

[@CHAUNCEY.GARDNER.]

I saw that gig in Toronto,Stevie was large that night,sorry Robert,a fact.

[@markvanderstelt8999]

Wow i thought that was you at that show.

[@allenlocke1935]

They did this sooo much faster than the studio version! The adrenaline was through the roof!

[@TexasMagnolia]

This Album!!! This Song…busted car speakers and a speeding ticket. Memories! Thank you for more SRV,

[@jayhensley7681]

He was on a whole other level after he got sober.

[@RandyTWA]

And more than 33 years later SRV is still blowing minds with his greatness!

[@shellycasbeer3775]

Agree 💯

[@Topjunkie-r4s]

Amen brother

[@joeday4293]

I was an 18-year-old college freshman still settling into my first dorm room before classes even started when the news came. It was a crushing blow. My single greatest musical regret is never seeing him live - I thought I would have plenty of chances to catch him in concert, since he was clean and sober and healthier than he had ever been in his life. His loss hurts me more than any other musician that has been lost in my life - so cruelly ironic to die in a damn helicopter crash after giving up Crown Royal and cocaine for breakfast every morning. When I get to heaven, one of the first things I'm going to ask God is for the recordings of all the music we missed out on because He felt the need to take Stevie Ray from us when and how He did.

[@Shabenn]

My mother was in love with him and his music. When I heard he had died, I had to call to make sure she was alright. I can only hope that when she died nine years later, she got to meet Stevie in the afterlife.

[@BarbButler]

💙💙💙💙💙🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@midnitesunblues]

Stevie loved his band like brothers. He was also very generous and split his earnings evenly with them. That's the kind of man he was. 🎸🎸🎸

[@Topjunkie-r4s]

Stevie’s solo after the keyboard solo is the most badass guitar solo ever - he was on FIRE!

[@m.ericwatson968]

His incredibly fluid and lighting fast playing, young guitarists think he must have been playing with the lightest gauge strings, just the opposite, he played thick strings and had his string action set high, still blows my mind, how in the heck was he able to get such silky smooth licks, from piano strings, on a guitar? Dude could probably peel an orange with his left hand

[@curbozerboomer1773]

His hands--like Jimi's hands--were very large, with strong fingers...He occasionally would actually tear off one of his fingernails, when attacking the guitar like he did!

[@happymethehappyone8300]

Which is also what caused him to have super thick calluses that would start to or completely tear off...Stevie would just SuperGlue them back on & continue playing..Just a couple more of so many ways & reasons why Stevie was not only a G.O.A.T.,, But definitly a true bada** as well!!...R.I.P. Stevie 🙏🔥❤️🔥

[@ikillzuepicly316]

Didn’t he change to 11 gauge strings or did it vary?

[@largemansteve60]

@@ikillzuepicly316 After becoming sober, yes, he did drop down to 11-gauge strings.

[@jamesknox7171]

The 2nd guitar he played, he called it "Scotch". The keyboard player, Reece Wyans is now playing with Joe Bonamassa.

[@kjisnot]

Did he break a string and switch guitars? I thought I saw a broken string but it wasn't real clear.

[@jamesknox7171]

I don't think so, at least not on this one. Not really sure why he changed guitars.@@kjisnot

[@woodyheywood8792]

Every time I watch a SRV performing live, I have a small part of me that is waiting for 2 other guitarists to come out the bushes....SRV just fricking magic on the axe!

[@vincebuono2275]

That band is tight.

[@jdbroders64]

Stevie was channeling as always. Some call it god or the universe but whatever it was it flowed through him to us in a spectacular and beautiful way. Every time I watch him live he gives me goosebumps and brings me joy. RIP Stevie, man you are so missed.

[@shellycasbeer3775]

It is the best way to start your day, SRV breakfast, coffee and a hike!! It would have been incredible to see him grow older but you have to appreciate the 35 yrs he was here. Legendary performance🎶🎵🎸🎼

[@daveb8829]

You guys picked a special one to review this time.. Man seriously, who can hold a candle to SRV ??!! NO ONE in my opinion. Keep up the great work.!! Thanks for your selections and honest reviews. Keep it going... We love you both.!!!

[@212x3]

That man, good God, what a loss.

[@billreilly7693]

SRV FOREVER!!!🥁☮☘

[@daryllemons66]

Glad to see you guys again....SRV.... GOAT 🐐 thanks guys 👍💯

[@ogmandog]

You wanna vibe? Check out the cut.....Riveria Paradise

[@AirplayBeats]

We love that one.

[@darrenmaxwell1085]

There are so many great players that I love and love to watch but there’s never been one that just blows me away and makes me watch like ARV did and still does. The sound, the power, passion, skill- just amazing - like a guitar Shaman.

[@janicez2630]

Always has been one of my favorite SRV songs

[@kellypickle]

Stevie could bring the funk man. I am sad for anyone that didn’t get to see him.

[@mikemet1744]

Imagine what he would have done. SRV was sooooo special. Rock on.

[@williamweiss6128]

Raw, live music by human beings. Concept.

[@joeday4293]

"Don't forget about Reese!" You damn well better not. Y'all ought to dig on the version of "Cold Shot" from this same show for that very reason - it's the rare SRV song where somebody else besides him plays the best solo. Even if you know the tune, you need to see this performance of it if you haven't. One of my very favorite sounds in all of music is a Hammond organ in the hands of a man who knows what to do with it, and ooooooh--WEE does Reese Wynans know what to do with it. Good gracious. Have mercy. That solo doesn't just get him an invite to the barbecue, it gets him invited to play at church on Sunday - and I don't mean the Southern Baptist church. One of the baddest solos you will ever hear on any instrument, but especially the beloved Hammond B3 organ.

[@cliffordlowerre1381]

Reese was fortunate to play with two of the all time greatest guitarists when he went on to play with Joe Bonamassa.

[@curbozerboomer1773]

Many years ago, I (a stone-cold Hendrix fanatic!) was driving down the road, listening to the local FM Rock station in Seattle...Suddenly, they began to play a version of Voodoo child, that I had not heard before...I was sure that it was Jimi!...but the licks eventually began to tell me that this must be some sort of lost, alternate version of Jimi, playing his classic....and then, a voice began to sing the words...I freaked out!...What/who was this person, having the nerve, and talent, to sound so much like my hero?...When the DJ mentioned Stevie's name, I rushed out to buy his album!...I could not, (and sometimes even NOW), believe that this Texas white dude could duplicate so well, Jimi's licks, and even take a certain style to an even higher level than Hendrix? But I have to admit it...SRV was even more advanced, and every bit as talented as Hendrix was. I did some research recently, and found that Stevie took up guitar at age seven!...and he was not even discovered until he was 27 (the age Hendrix died!)...so, he had a certain advantage over Jimi, as Stevie got to put in 20 years of practice, before being discovered. Hendrix started on electric guitar at 15, and was discovered at age 23...So he hit his amazing peak of technique, after only 8 years of experience playing!...We can say that Jimi was a more "natural born" player than SRV...but then again, Stevie's staggeringly accurate technique was even more polished, even more facile than Jimi's, likely due to having those 20 years to hone his craft. Stevie was clearly the best Blues-based guitarist of his time, the 1980s...and Jimi "owned" that title, during shortened time, 1966-70. I think Stevie was indeed, overall the best ever, in that small, but powerful group of Blues-Rock players, most all of them owing a great debt to Jimi Hendrix, for showing the world what was possible with the electric guitar...SRV respected Jimi to the MAX!!!

[@cptight88]

Just as amazing as it was when it came out

[@harrietmiller3982]

👏🙌🎸🎶‼️I just started to search for new SRV reactions when you posted this! Thanks guys and great reactions as usual✌️💙. Always here for our Stevie🎸🎶

[@jr-vm7th]

Me too kkk.

[@conniehorton1981]

💯 here for all SRV❤️

[@benhinds2971]

Before Double, they were Triple Threat with Lou Ann Barton on vocals. When Stevie would quit his job in bands, the leader often said, "Good! ". Not the normal response. But they knew he was not destined to play in someone else's bad.

[@victorgreen444]

His first band was called Triple Threat, it was him and two guys.

[@keithjames7843]

The last song SRV performed before the helicopter crash was sweet home, Chicago, and Eric Clapton Buddy Guy Jimmy Vaughan and a couple more great blues performed this song and they all said that everyone could tell that SRV was special that night The guitar that he is playing in this video is like a 1959 finder stra and it was his favorite guitar A reporter asked him his first love and he said it was this guitar SRV said that this guitar talked for him not back to him like a woman

[@whyuneedmyname4]

Can't wait to see them watch DVD react to SRV's Leave my little girl alone!

[@swampfizz]

Austin City Limits concert..great gig since he did his absolute best in his home state and Austin is where he started...Kudos out to Double Trouble too they always get over looked

[@chrisredlich7075]

This was so awesome to watch. All are having a good time.

[@alanbraun1187]

WHAT A GREAT BAND, the guy's on keyboards, bass, drums were great and the guy on guitar not shabby either!

[@blxgrl]

Im so glad yall are doing another reaction to SRV. I really enjoyed your commentary on the other ones. Please do SRV and Jeff Healy "Little sister" its mind blowing

[@tjmasson1013]

The spirit of Jimi went into SRV and Stevie ran with it. SRV’s technical prowess unmatched What a groove this was

[@lesblatnyak5947]

Does anybody today play that well? If there is please show us guys. Such a cool sound.

[@tonybarwick5248]

Tommy Shannon played bass with Johnny and Edgar winter also in that gig they played Tobacco Road and be careful with a fool ! He was younger !!!!!

[@darrenangyal7190]

In 1982 we went to see the moody blues. Then this guy named stevie ray vaughn started playing. We went home after he was finished. Never have i bailed on a headliner, b ut it wasSRV!

[@lisalott4236]

Great reaction ya'll. Any day is a good day for SRV & Double Trouble live or otherwise.

[@midnightrambler7716]

Bought this way back when on VHS and then later on DVD. Great 2 part DVD. The first half from 1983 I believe, when he was thick in the middle of scotch and coke (not the kind you drink) addiction. The second half was from 1989 in which he had sobered up and looked much healthier. Sadly he died the next year. Both great shows. Edit: After SRV’s death the bass player Tommy Shannon and drummer Chris Layton joined Doyle Bramhall II and Charlie Sexton to form the Arc Angels. They put out only one album as far as I know in 1991 which was fantastic. Every song a banger. And Doyle and Charlie also put out some really great solo albums as well. Double Trouble also put out an album in 2001 called Been a Long Time. Most of this band plus the Arc Angels guys and a plethora of guest artists that reads like an all star team. Susan Tedeschi who does a great rendition of Led Zeppelin’s Rock & Roll. As well as Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Jonny Lang, Dr. John, Willie Nelson and many others. My favorite tracks include Cry Sky and Skyscraper and In The Garden with Tedeschi on lead vocals again.

[@bluesrock1]

This was a big radio hit for Stevie in 84.

[@Jude_196]

This band was SO TIGHT!!! Of course: Stevie was a MAD MAN on guitar...but, his change-ups were INSANE...and, the other band members were SO GOOD at READING HIM!! In the way they worked, as one: they remind me of the GREATNESS of Led Zeppelin....this band was ANOTHER instance of people coming together at the right time and will most likely NEVER occur, again....SO GREAT! How can ANYONE listen to that and NOT wanna MOVE?? The JAM a PARTY!

[@JohnWarner-lu8rq]

Stevie was definitely channeling Jimi when he/they wrote this one.

[@Irockthere4]

The video of the studio version is badass. He’s playing the solo in the rain. Glad I saw him twice.

[@renecuellar3078]

Man oh Man......SRV & DT..... PERFECTION

[@dangurski]

Icon..

[@ranchyblues]

Tommy Shannon was at woodstock when he played bass for Johnny Winter. And I believe Reese would've been an Allman Brother if Gregg wasn't Duane's brother. He was playing with the(eventual) Allman Brothers before Gregg joined the band.

[@JoeandAngie]

Saw the CSTW tour in Memphis at the Orpheum...he broke 6 strings that night. Good times

[@markvanderstelt8999]

i thought it was 7 that day ?

[@mwrobinson1169]

Great choice! My very favorite SRV performance right there.

[@sinchebasilio8725]

Hello friend, you have to take a look at,,, voddo chile live in cotton club,,, At this show, Srv smokes his cigarette and in the middle of the solo he shakes his hand with a fan but at the same time he continues playing with the other hand and then plays the guitar with his teeth

[@rogercaruso9337]

Was waiting for you to get to this one🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Hoggmedic]

Great as a three piece but Reese brought another dimension to that group; filled some gaps if you will. Great video reaction as yall really feel the impact of this rare talent.

[@daryllemons66]

He switched guitars... didn't miss a beat... GOAT 🐐

[@SIXX2772]

Amazing as always!!!

[@Michael-Philip]

🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥

[@60secthebaptist9]

There was a guitar change in this performance. He was playing no1 and then switched to the cream strat.

[@mikemarshall35]

Now try “Testify” from a live performance from El Macambo

[@musicairplanes4884]

The keyboard player Reese now plays with Joe Bonamassa and has for many years.

[@josephgallagher945]

He switched guitars during the drum solo 👍

[@tonytony5380]

Just saw Reese playing with Joe Bonamsa, he still plays great

[@onthatdirtroad]

Switched guitars during the intros to get ready for the next song...

[@DavidBaena]

Pablo Cruise - Love Will Find A Way 1978

[@Shabenn]

His guitars weren't guitars so much as an extension of him. Playing was just part of him. There's never been anybody better and never will be. Still a shame his reward for getting clean was an early death, smashing into the side of a mountain in a helicopter.

[@networkingintrovert2448]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@networkingintrovert2448]

❤🔥🎸🎤

[@benhinds2971]

Reece left the Allman's right before they got famous. Oops. But since then he has had probably the best career a freelance keyboard player could ever dream of.

[@jhamptonjr]

The double trouble band!

[@realbser1956]

SRV’s talent was mind blowing. It never gets old watching these performances and I’ve seen them multiple times. He was just so damned great. Thanks La/Che for another excellent Saturday with Stevie. 🔥

[@jackscott5593]

SRV ~ 🎸🐐 The goatiest goat in all of goatness

[@joeday4293]

All I can add is "baaaa" ✌️😎

[@clifton8929]

Riveria Paradise is another great Stevie Ray song that is sooooo good. Thanks, guys, for all the great music and hard work you put into your channel. Your views and commentary are greatly appreciated. Did you notice that SRV broke a string, when he left the stage for the guys to do solos he switched guitars.

[@krob-sn7ek]

You can only imagine what music he would have produced, and what level he would have gotten too..... If he hadn't left so early. Rock on SRV !!

[@handsomestik]

THE greatest guitarist ever

[@MOS650]

Have you guys reacted to Albert King/ Stevie Ray Vaughan- Born Under A Bad Sign?

[@jamiegriffin9866]

So happy to see SRV back on the channel..pLEASE check out Leave my lil girl alone from this same show❤❤❤

[@billtaylor3382]

He was so damn great! Loved him and miss him!

[@kathibailey2926]

I remember when he died such a tremendous loss !!!

[@terrywyatt8304]

That's why Stevie liked small crowds .being close to the action makes you feel like your in the middle holding an instrument too.

[@deandecarlo9102]

The Greatest by far and not even close.

[@markharbin9945]

BADASS!!!!!!!😯

[@stevious7278]

SRV was without question one of the finest blues players;but let us not forget the band. They would be some stellar musicians there!

[@lindsaywilmoth3747]

We all know that Stevie's fantastic but, you can't get by without noticing Tommy Shannon on bass. They are locked in together always.

[@chitownlee]

When ever I watch SRV I have a big smile on my face and when the song is over I get sad just thinking what if...

[@-R.Gray-]

Before playing with Stevie, bassist Tommy Shannon was a member of another Texas guitarist Johnny Winter's group.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

If ANYONE has NEVER seen the Official Music Video for this incredible track..I STRONGLY SUGGEST grabbing your raincoat & checking it out,, It is quite simply BADA**!! 🔥❤️🔥

[@olly8]

I had the privilege to see SRV in 1986, with his brother Jimmy+ the Thunderbirds being his opening act. COULD NOT SIT DOWN!!! Once the music started, I was in the isle dancing through the whole concert! Stevie drives the vibe and takes you along with him ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@cptight88]

Saw that tour. Mind blowing.

[@cherylwoodward]

Saw that too in Richmond, Virginia if I am thinking of the right concert.

[@mcl2462]

Damn!! SRV is the GOAT!!

[@JennLynnTarot]

Stevie tearing it up every song in the set🔥🔥🔥 Who does this? SRV! 🔥🔥🔥

[@jefferyshute6641]

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how it's done!

[@Donnagilbert6497]

One of my favorites! I miss him every day❤

[@darrenmaxwell1085]

I am convinced that’s there isn’t another great player that when they saw SRV wasn’t mesmerized by the force he played with and the almost open channel he was. Just a badass

[@MonicaDBrini]

I’ve seen it a thousand times and it never gets old. Love my Stevie!

[@PaulMurray_writer]

And a smooth guitar change through the band intro for SRV’s solo. Sublime.

[@kayakuprising5914]

I saw SRV live outdoors in San Antonio back in the day. Eric Johnson (another awesome guitar player) opened up for him, then Eric came back for the last song or two with Stevie. It was so awesome! Dang man, I really miss SRV :(

[@kevinaldridge]

I know nothing about Stevie Ray but if that song is anything to go by Whooha! ⭐️😁

[@melanieredfield9736]

Stevie is the GOAT! Came from a working class family in Oak Cliff TX, his dad was a drinker with a temper. His older brother Jimmy started playing guitar by ear when Stevie was 8 or 9; Stevie got very excited and began self-teaching soon afterward. He idolized Hendrix and all the blues greats. The boys used music as an escape, played in local clubs and bands. Jimmy left home at 15 to pursue a music career, already considered among the best in TX. Austin had become a proving ground for young artists & after Jimmy settled there, Stevie dropped out of high school to join the scene, sleeping on pool tables or couch surfing while playing local blues clubs. At the famous club Antone's, he got to sit in with & earned the respect of the great Albert King, who remained a friend and mentor. Jimmy's band, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, was the hot ticket in Austin; but Stevie developed his own fan base locally and eventually formed Triple Threat, which pared down to Double Trouble. They picked up a manager, played venues around the country, then internationally. Jackson Browne offered them free recording time at his studio where they cut the tracks that eventually became their first album Texas Flood.(They sent him a horse as a thank-you gift!)David Bowie used Stevie on his China Girl album which caught immediate attention and catapulted Stevie's into celebrity status but he declined a world tour to remain with his band. Then Texas Flood was released and the rest is history. He and DT played with BB King, Albert Collins, Jeff Beck, and others. Stevie nearly died from cocaine addiction & booze, but got clean & sober at age 31 and his music hit new heights. The performance here was at Austin City Limits, 1989. In 1990 at age 35, Stevie played as a guest on Eric Clapton's tour and left via helicopter with members of Clapton's entourage, when they crashed into a ski hill and all on board died instantly. He's buried in Oak Cliff, and there's a memorial statue of Stevie in Zilker Park in Austin. Jimmy still plays and won a Grammy about 4 years ago. He also accepted Stevie's induction into the R&R Hall of Fame.

[@kevinaldridge]

@@melanieredfield9736 wow thanks for that💚 I’m in the UK which is probably why I don’t know about his music or story. But I do now. 😁⭐️

[@joeday4293]

​@@kevinaldridgeIt's a deep and satisfying rabbit hole to jump into.

[@Stretchgood366]

This song was my introduction to my SRV addiction, saw the video for this song on MTV and immediately went to Musicland and bought the vinyl!

[@tedsmith7814]

Yep. Same.

[@stevenmonte7397]

The F-ING GOAT!!!!!!!! SRV was AMAZING!!

[@deerock69]

Was fortunate enough to see his Vaughan-ness twice live. Unforgettable.

Nobody gives the credit to the bass player, drummer or the keyboard player except Stevie.
