Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble - Cold Shot REACTION/REVIEW

[@lookmanohands1966]

John Mayer said about how Stevie Ray Vaughan influenced him, “The first guitar influence when I was about 13. The moment I heard Stevie Ray Vaughan I thought, ‘Wow - that’s the thing that’s not just strumming chords!’ I heard him on a mixtape that a neighbour had given me. It had SRV on one side and Robert Cray on the other.”

[@mitzifrancis9843]

This entire 1989 Austin City Limits show is astounding. Please please watch, from this same concert, Riviera Paradise. The studio version is wonderful but this live performance is incredibly moving, especially since he was gone so soon afterward. Thanks for your reaction as always!

[@reallymysterious4520]

One of the single greatest concerts of all time

[@ronaldelliott4373]

You nailed it Mitzi!👈😎

[@angelbulldog4934]

I was about to say Riviera Paradise. Different from his usual, but so Creamy McDreamy.

[@shellycasbeer3775]

Stevie was just special. Good to see that people still enjoy his music.

[@s.mcpherson6354]

You know a reactor has hit a new level when their facial expression on great playing changes from looking like someone who's impressed with what they *see* and *hear,* to looking like they are directly *experiencing* the emotional state the sound is conveying, almost as though they are listening to a lyric.

[@watchbizmatik]

Thanks fam

[@maryellenazack4466]

Get it jerry. 🥳

[@f.murphy8340]

Saw Stevie in '85 or '86. Albert King opened. He was the real deal - as was Albert.

[@shirleymongold1201]

I would recommend "Tin Pan Alley" with Stevie and the legendary Johnny Copeland. Pure, in your face raw blues

[@alesiaking5578]

Absolutely 💯

[@mesaeddie]

This was my favorite Austin City Limits of all time.SRV was a phenomenal stage presence and my favorite guitarist.

[@mrnobody9104]

simply the greatest....another great song nobody ever reacts to is Couldn't Stand The Weather. Reese can kill them keys now!!!

[@jannaromine5908]

Yes yes yes!! I recorded it all one night and admit I watched and listened night and day forever..just kept playing it over and over nonstop! I was obsessed ❤

[@julietate7806]

"Tightrope" from this show is a BANGER! Thank God I was privileged to have seen SRV live twice... once just 3 months before the awful helicopter crash that took his life.

[@davidteller7681]

Oh man, at the end...going straight into "Couldn't Stand The Weather"...check that one out Biz!

[@kennethbrown5164]

Reese Wynans on keyboards... John Mayer inducted and spoke at SRV's R&R HOF induction ceremony.

[@anneliedorman2435]

He was so great just sad he left this earth to young what a great musician ❤

[@kennethbrown5164]

Love this SRV groove... one of my favorite songs.

[@phillipthomas119]

No one made a guitar cry like Stevie! Great reaction to the greatest to ever do it! Sorry to those Jimmy fans but if you don't believe me listen to Jimmy's version of little wing then listen to Stevies version! Have a blessed one

[@reallymysterious4520]

All of SRV's covers of Jimmy's songs are BETTER

[@vomhausmann]

Yup!

[@paulprendergast3184]

Saw Stevie and Double Trouble live at the legendary El Mocambo in early 1980s. They recorded both nights for an album. Also saw George Thorogood and Rory Gallagher at the El Mo.

[@analogkid4557]

Yeah dude, your right. Classic blues. Stevie got it! And yeah, his band is super talented, too. You really can't go wrong with any of his songs. I will let other people suggest some.

[@barbarascotto3873]

Yes!!!!! Stevie Ray is the greatest guitar player of all time! The absolute GOAT.

[@proudarmymom8657]

John Mayer actually inducted Stevie Ray Vaughan posthumously into the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame and Stevie’s band double trouble along with John Mayer performed Stevie songs to dedicate to him! John Mayer was actually devastated when Stevie died because Stevie Ray Vaughan was one of his idols! RIP SRV

[@lathedauphinot6820]

John Mayer said that Stevie made him want to play guitar. How about something from SRV & Double Trouble at El Mocambo that you don’t usually hear? Like “Testify”, “So Excited”, “Tell Me”, or different versions of “Mary Had A Little Lamb” or “Voodoo Chile”?

[@jessisanchez8150]

John Mayer presented an award for Stevie, so your on the right track

[@Gort-Marvin0Martian]

Always loved this one. Kind of a blues-rock. Really cool. Thanks for reacting to this. As we say here in Texas; Y'all be safe.

[@shirleybuffington6420]

The song he started playing at the end was Couldn’t stand the weather

[@rogercaruso9337]

AI actually worked a couple shows with Stevie ray as a stage hand the best one was a capital theater and been safe in New Jersey

[@conniehorton1981]

Always here for our SRV❤️❤️❤️

[@richardmodglin3900]

Such great live performances. Great reaction!

[@jackscott5593]

SRV ~ 🎸🐐 The goatiest goat in all of goatness John was most definitely inspired by Stevie. So much so that he was part of Stevie's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It's not a stretch to say that most guitarists, from the 90's to today, were inspired by Stevie.

[@steelcards1969]

The video to this song was actually one worth watching

[@marthayoung2308]

Thank you, Biz! Can't go wrong picking ANYTHING Stevie does! Have you reacted to "Pride and Joy" yet? It's another one with keys, but with the piano! RIP SRV.

[@baird5776mullet]

SRV was John Mayer's biggest influence, good call, check out "SRV" "IM LEAVING COMMIT A CRIME VIDEO", you will only be the 2nd person on youtube to react to it, it's blues fire brother. 👍

[@Sometimes-even-lyrical]

You should do the hilarious music video SRV and Double Trouble put together that is a spoof on Stevie's obsession with guitars. In it the action centers on his "wife" in the video getting jealous. It's all done to the "Cold Shot" track. You'll really enjoy it, especially if you do it close after the live "Cold Shot." performance.

[@terrieb13]

One of my favorite SRV songs! How about Mr. Wynan on the keys?!!🔥🔥🔥 Great reaction! ☮️❤️😎

[@indianboy72]

These are just amazing pros doing their thing. If this doesn’t touch you, your not alive… check for a pulse!!!

[@mikeferris408]

I went alone to his last show bc all my other musician friends didnt know who he was n i was soooo shocked! But i did.. drove 3 hrs there n 3hrs back n its 1 of the best live shows ive ever seen to this day.. n ive seen 100's of live shows since I was a little snapper at the age of 7.. Elvis Presley was my 1st show, ypu name them n ive probably seen them. 👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@shirleybuffington6420]

You should check out the official video and you can see what kind of humor he has he said in an interview that they come up with the things that happen to him

[@kathyyoung9539]

He loved Stevie and was a big influence.

[@tjmasson1013]

GOAT.

[@wendellburkhart8169]

OH Yeah ! The Biz Man taking care of business reacting to one of my favorite guitarist. I watched a video of him and Jeff Beck doing Going Down and it was way back in the day but It was without a doubt the best cover of That song I ever seen. Thank you Biz Man for the reaction .

[@watchbizmatik]

🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿

[@PaulImprota]

Reese Winans on keyboards, now with Joe Bonamassa. John Mayer said SRV changed his direction in music and took him to the next level. He said before that he was listening to hair rock and metal.

[@vickihirsch8340]

John Mayer was totally inspired by Stevie. Mayer hosted Stevies induction into the rock and roll hall of fame

[@toddhendricks8239]

That key board dude is on fire . And smokin hot with one hand 😎😎😎

[@kathyyoung9539]

JOHN'S HERO IS STEVIE RAY. ❤❤ HE A BLUES TRICK GUITAR PLAYER. CHRCK OUT LIVE AT THE FESTIVAL 3RD STONE FRO. THE SUN. MIND BLOWER. STEVIE RAY WILL REALLY SHOW YA'LL WHAT HE CAN DO WITH A GUITAR. PERIOD. ❤❤❤❤

[@aspjake123]

OOOOHHHHHHHHHH You have Cold Shot going on!!!! So good.

[@michaeldoukas4444]

Stevie was "A" number one. Did you tin pan alley or couldn't stand the weather? You Biz is on his grove when he just lets it play and does not stop the vid.

[@arnoldcox9128]

LEGENDARY!!!

[@thrillcity]

Nothing I can say about Stevie Ray that hasn't been said. He's one of the four on the "Guitar Mt. Rushmore". Also... I've listened to almost everybody, but I've never listened to John Mayer. But you know what, Biz??? You just talked me into it ( your always listening to everyone's suggestions, so I'm gonna listen to yours, bro).

[@J_Gamble]

Another great performance😍

[@salty-tomato]

So hot my shades steamed up😎🎸🎹

[@randyconger8620]

Thanks for reviewing this, it’s one of my favorites, and I haven’t heard anyone else review it. Good work,

[@sylviapotter6328]

This performance is as usual awesome but you would love the music video the comedy is so funny and it shows is comic side 😂 😂 I think you would really like Tightrope. John Mayer actually inducted Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, he said Stevie Ray inspired him and when Stevie Ray talked about his sobriety John Mayer said he wanted to be like his hero and never touched a drug or alcohol because of Stevie Ray. Just before Stevie Ray was killed he recorded an album with his brother Jimmie Vaughan called Family Style, after his death Jimmie made a video and dedicated to Stevie Ray called Tic-Tock, Stevie Ray is singing and the beautiful message is something we all need to hear. The video to watch is a picture of Jimmie and Stevie Ray sitting in the studio, Jimmie shows home movies of him and Stevie Ray around 6-7 yrs old and videos of Stevie Ray's performances. It is soooo worth a listen I promise you will love it.

[@sylviapotter6328]

Boy was that comment full of mistakes 😂 I fixed it

[@andrewcolicchio766]

Great choice!

[@PaulImprota]

Reese Wynans, the keyboardist, also played in the predecessor band that became the Allman Brothers Band. "Wynans was a member of the Second Coming, which from November, 1968 to March, 1969 included two future and founding members of The Allman Brothers Band: guitarist Dickey Betts and bassist Berry Oakley. Other band members were Dale Betts, Larry Reinhardt, and John Meeks. Wynans was involved in the initial jam session with Duane Allman, Betts, Oakley, Butch Trucks, and Jaimoe that led to the formation of the Allman Brothers Band, but was eased aside in favor of vocalist Gregg Allman, as founder Duane Allman did not want two keyboardists, two guitarists, and two drummers all in the same band".

[@xenoscoot]

He plays with Joe Bonamassa, now.

[@starfire6122]

You still haven't done....Ain't Gon Give Up On Love and Change It both live at The Capitol Theatre please!!!💞✌️

[@kengunter6903]

THE G.O.A.T. Now ure cooking bro. Great song by him. Now Biz how would blondie stack up against him? Get my blondie point??

[@maingeemutt1668]

What’s the point in comparing? It’s apples to oranges, two completely different genres of music, both fine in their own right.

[@kengunter6903]

@maingeemutt because 1 not worth putting on the channel & the other should. It's about great music & artists not commercial radio crap that put into people's brains as legitimate Great music. If U want to listen to this crap go buy her shit music. Da.

[@kathyyoung9539]

Check out live from the Vestival 3rd Stone from the Sun. Stevie Ray Vaughan will show ya'll what he can really do with a guitar. WARNIN' MIND BLOWER ALERT. YA'LL BEEN WARNED. ❤❤❤❤

[@Smootman1]

Couldn't Stand The Weather and Crossfire are waiting for their turn, BizMatik...😎😎

[@R8drdave]

Keyboardist is bad ass. Saw him play with Joe bonammassa. And drummer as well with him

[@markhopkins222]

The pickups each have their on control knob and SRV used them different from most people.. He could get ever thing out of a guitar that it was capable of producing . Also 13 gauge strings don't bend very easily Augusta Ga tey playing gold here this week Biz

[@subversivelysurreal3645]

Do ‘Tin Pan Alley’ w/guest Johnny Copeland at Montreux, 1985. ps❤everyone

[@tresianyfb5865]

This one is my fave !!❤ it's simple but Brillent

[@kathyyoung9539]

Check out 3rd Stone from the Sun. WARNIN' MIND BLOWER ALERT ⚠️ ❤ Stevie Ray Vaughan live at Jazz Festival.

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

And bassist Tommy Shannon. John Mayer was absolutely inspired by Stevie; he said so himself.

[@irenelopez3390]

❤SRV RIP🌹

[@brianbrown2266]

When asked where he got his gift from he said God I'm just paying him back

[@the54thfloor47]

SRV is the goat.

[@nickcrisp7252]

"Tin Pan Alley", live with Johnny Copeland. Incredible performance. Even Stevie's own band look knocked out by it, and it's some of the best vocals you'll hear from him. Guitar playing on fire goes without saying.

[@marcnelson5637]

I love your reactions. As far as Stevie Ray Vaughan goes you should also try the song “leave my girl alone“ from a concert in Austin Texas I believe

[@watchbizmatik]

🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@moefeaux1442]

If you want to see an even better performance from Reece Wynans, the guy on the keys, you need to revisit "Mary Had A Little Lamb" but this time from the same Austin show, not the el Mocambo show you reacted to in the past. Then here's one you'll enjoy that not many have reacted to "Willie the Wimp" and the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r329emWwZp6pmLM

[@alesiaking5578]

Mary Had a Little Lamb with that unbelievable guitar swap without missing a Beat!!🎸 RIP SRV💔

[@moefeaux1442]

@@alesiaking5578 I think you have that confused with "Look At Little Sister" from the Austin show. 👍

[@NoKingsNoGodsOnlyMan]

SRV was John Mayer's biggest influence in fact.

[@susanmurray7654]

His older brother was the man forca whole on the blues guitar scene for a while lol

[@Pooker_CS]

you should check out Couldn't stand the weather from the same show as this, its awesome. Name on yt: Couldn't Stand the Weather - Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - Austin City Limits, 1989

SRV, “Tight Rope”, live in Austin

[@MotivatingInspiration]

Ah yeah, the great Stevie Ray Vaughan. Still proudly wear an old worn out SRV t-shirt.

[@ronaldelliott4373]

Reece Wynan’s keyboard flourishes made everything Stevie did, better. Give the studio version of Riviera Paradise a reaction Biz. It’s literally his last best composition. Such a loss. He was special. 👈

[@saremile]

You should check out "The House is a Rockin" Such a great party song!!!

[@petermorgan5303]

Loving some SRV

[@thor8580]

Hey Biz have ya checked him out with Jeff Healey yet? I’m positive everyone would really enjoy that one. Peace.

[@bitfenix90]

Boot-scootin' music... but as compelling as this music, Austin City Limits had VERY strict "do not move or else" commandments to their audience. The reason is that their only had old old TV cameras with numerous and huge cables that was virtual guarantees for walking-fans to trip and fall, maybe damaging the irreplaceable cameras. Being a public-TV station, KLRU simply had no choice but demand the audience stay seated. No restroom breaks until certain points of the show, and therefore restrictions on refreshments, too. They finally joined the 20th Century in the 1990s but there are heavy debates on which programs they maintained on precious, one-copy-only videotape. They saved a few of the most famous, but there were hundreds of great shows that are still unreleased. "All of those artists have died - why stir up interest in them now?" Du-uh...

[@MrSamlavoie]
