Stevie Ray Vaughan - Look At Little Sister (REACTION)

[@frankpasqualone]

What a massive, massive talent, gone way too soon. RIP SRV.

[@vickihirsch8340]

He continues the solo with a broken string and if you weren't watching, you wouldn't know. He waits till the break in the song, nods his head, and like a NASCAR pit crew his tech runs out and he's playing again before its even strapped up ❤

Real musicians ! no takes, no do overs, no dubbing, ......just raw pure powerful beautiful music !

[@midnitesunblues]

🎸Wonder no more why Stevie's legacy keeps growing. If anyone has has earned and deserves his place as a true Legend in music history, it is SRV. In an interview he quietly and simply said that his talent was as gift from God that he tried hard to repay. Paid in full, Stevie. Paid in full. 🙏🔥

[@Greg-io1ip]

Saw SRV all over Austin and San Marcos Texas for years and years. Only once did I see him off stage. He was dating a younger Lou Ann Barton, arm in arm walking across 6th Street. I was so star struck all I could say was "Hey what's up Stevie?" Hey looks over and beams a smile I suppose a wink and whatever he said I honestly am not sure but he was really happy and Lou Ann had this huge smile looking at him when he glances at me and said something friendly. I had seen or heard him outside of Cheatham St Warehouse so many times I shouldn't have been awestruck and tongue tied. Anyway. He was as nice as his reputation. Almost angelic in his aura. You'll read that elsewhere. He was truly the nicest guy in show business of the era I'll bet. Especially considering he was the most talented person of his era, he stayed kind and humble and down to Earth.

​@@Greg-io1ip I just replied to @midnitesunblues that his (or her) comment brought a tear to my eye. Then I read your reply that instantly brought a tear to my other eye. Heck, more than one, to both eyes. I've read 3 books about Stevie & you're right, so many people have commented on that almost angelic aura. He had such a beautiful heart & soul. Thank you so much for sharing that memory with us. 💙🌿💙🌿💙🌿💙🌿💙

[@tjmasson1013]

The one and only SRV.

[@frankiemanning1743]

One of the smoothest guitar swaps ever. Props to the guitar tech.

[@harrietmiller3982]

👏🙌‼️ how impressive was that switch out? Stevie gave his guitar techs so much experience with changing out guitars that they performed like a race car pit crew. Guys the only time I "listen" to Stevie Ray is in my car with cd's. His studio recordings are excellent, but with the exception of Riveria Paradise on the In Step album, you won't have a better experience than when you watch. His passion for performing for people is where most of the energy and magic lies. Keep going with the live performances✌️💙💙🎶

[@sjd5750]

YES! And please, SOMEBODY do his live Capitol theater performance of "Couldn't Stand the Weather"! from 1985!..Phenomenal!..Also, Reese' solo is even WAY better on that one, if you can believe it..Trust me on this one!

[@harrietmiller3982]

@@sjd5750 yes plus this features Chris on the drums and Tommy on the bass and then Reece who just kills it💯‼️🎶

[@3SeveredHeads]

Its a bit like Elvis...u just HAVE to see the performance...albums are good but live is on another level...its the sheer channelling of the music/song that is almost a religious experience!!

[@stevemd6488]

"He is the blues". Such a great comment.

[@loisr3970]

Now what a tune for 11 am yes Mr stevie Ray Vaughan.........little sister cheers

[@shellycasbeer3775]

Do you feel as fortunate as I to have experienced this very special artist. He just makes me smile everytime I hear him play.

[@sylviamc56]

I love the respect you two show towards SRV and all of the other greats. I absolutely adore SRV and will not pass by any reaction to his music. He is much better live, but I do have a few of his studio albums. Strange thing, until about 4 years ago, I had never listened to blues. My husband had been after me to check out SRV. I am ashamed to say that I never wanted to listen to him before because I am a hard rocker. I finally watched one of his performances, Texas Flood/live, and was hooked on SRV. I missed out on so much great music because I was just stubborn. RIP SRV 🎸🎶

[@jmitch8483]

It takes a hell of a woman to admit that and I admire you for it😁👏👏

[@trevortamboline279]

An absolute master of his instrument.

[@mozilla2576]

Y'all have got to do the SRV video for Cold Shot. Many of your questions will be answered about his guitars. Plus it's filmed in Austin and has a ton of humor to it. Thanks for all your reviews....great job!

[@janishaldeman3339]

Always lets other people shine. That always impressed me as much as his playing and singn

[@MrBarryb505050]

Oh yeah

[@danw2276]

GOD took him early because he did it all here, established himself as the GOAT and gave us plenty of tunes. Plays up there now for sure. RIP STEVIE

[@-OBELUS-]

That's one of the first things I'll do when I get there. I'm going to a SRV concert!

[@realbser1956]

Seen these performances many times and I’m constantly in awe. An amazing talent and a GOAT for sure. Love your SRV reactions.

[@fredbarakat2634]

The goat! Guys I keep telling y’all to play “leave my girl alone” and “tightrope” from that same live show from Austin city limits.

[@kikivon3501]

You were mentioning liking the live videos so you can see him play and check out his fit. Legend has it that Stevie dressed like that ALL the time, not just for shows. If he went to the grocery store on a Sunday morning he’d sport the same style. He owned it!!!!! Guitarist like SRV have full time guitar techs, that’s their whole job to tune and maintain his guitars.

[@MichaelBrown-x1q]

You better be a top notch musician to even grace the stage with that Genius!!!!! That's what watching him live is so great! Your going to get magic!

[@buckeyedarren]

Stevie never disappoints.

[@robertrodriguez9445]

Let's talk about the cat on the keys............LOL

[@jamesknox7171]

This was the first song I ever heard from SRV. I was in downtown Atl. and I stopped at a liquor store to get some beer and when I got back in my truck and the radio came on, this is what I heard. I've been hooked ever since.

[@darrenmaxwell1085]

His studio albums are great! His last album was so good! Wish we could’ve heard more from his career and see where his music would’ve gone.

[@TheRagratus]

Look at the song "Riviera Paradise". That was jazzy more than bluesy. He was growing still. Damn shame he's gone.

[@SRVfangirl]

Well if you want some serious blues check out SRV & Albert King, In Session recorded in studio for a TV special. It’s freaking amazing! Also for early classic SRV swag, check out his live at Montreux 1982 performance where he hadn’t even received a recording contract yet. The first song is Hide Away & continue with a more blues Dirty Pool, my personal favorite.

[@anthonyblakely399]

Great reaction. 👍 SRV is the best guitar player in music history. 🎶

[@adamthirdbourne324]

One of the rare artists where studio and live performances are T.O.P.!

[@jakeenan]

In Step & Couldn't Stand the Weather are his go to Studio albums. What is often overlooked is that it was Stevie and his Band (Double Trouble). Those three guys were his brothers. They backed Stevie all the way, wherever he went musically, and NEVER missed a beat or a cue. Fabulous musicians.

[@-OBELUS-]

Yep.

[@markuskrygermeyer1614]

You should check out: couldn't stand the weather live at the capitol theatre. One of my absolute favourites. It has such a cool groove!!

[@Greg-io1ip]

SRV live performance on any given performance. In live venues it felt even better. But we took it for granted seeing him so often. His warm up mic checks were the best. He'd slip in and out of Zeppelin, Sabbath, Deep Purple etc whatever he heard on the ride over or background. Just fiddling around. Jeff Beck riffs like in his sleep.

[@Uuuuutuuuube]

I’d recommend, In Step, for the studio album. He’s clean and sober and playing his ass off

[@marthayoung2308]

That piano though! Thank y'all for reacting to this. "Pride and Joy" is another banger, if you haven't reacted to it. Anything by SRV is worth a listen. RIP Stevie.

[@Jeffbambam]

Get it Reese! Srv does so much ,first it's hard to not want to watch his live performance and second it's so good you just want to close your eyes and feel it . I think that just another reason I have to replay him over and over .

[@zolch5771]

He had those tall musician flight cases that hold 20 guitars...probably had a couple of them

[@minigirl6839]

Stevie Ray didn't even need guitar strings to play. 👌💯

[@shelleysparks210]

I was privileged to see SRV live numerous times in the 80’s in Austin & Corpus Christi. (The drummer, Chris Layton is a native of CC). There is an actual statue of SRV in Austin. He was the GOAT as far as I’m concerned. RIP Stevie Ray. 💔🙏🏻

[@alanbraun1187]

What you guy's were saying about it being a keyboard song and then Stevie takes it back and breaks a string, The whole group ,Stevie, Double trouble and the guitar tec and support guys were so in tune with each other there's only one thing to call them, professionals. Love your review's.

With the great Buddy Guy at 87 on his Damn Right Farewell Tour, it would be great of y'all could react to his music. His powerful voice, incredible guitar playing is worth it. Another legend.

[@sylviapotter6328]

Stevie Ray Vaughan owned 34 guitar's, Guitar Center bought Stevie Ray's guitar that he named #1 for $625,000 and they take it to their stores around the USA for display, it has the 13gage strings, they let people try to play it. Jimmie inherited Stevie Ray's estate, alot of his thing are at a music museum in Texas. Jimmie plays on alot of Stevie Ray's albums, whenever you hear 2 guitar's playing it's Jimmie Vaughan. Stevie Ray also plays the drums and Saxophone, Stevie Ray is playing drums on The Sky Is Crying album on the song The Sky Is Crying. Stevie Ray and Jimmie were working on an album called Family Style but Stevie Ray passed away before the could finish it, I still say Tic-Tock is sooo worth a listen, Stevie Ray has a powerful message and Jimmie has old home movies of Jimmie and Stevie when they were very little.

[@bella-xp7qd]

He was primarily a Fender Stratocaster player. He always played them in live performances, and rarely used other models. His most famous Stratocaster was nicknamed “Number One”. He named his guitars, One, Red, Lenny, Yellow, Charley, Main , and Scotch.

[@jcwalter9973]

Stevie was notorious for keep superglue on hand, because he would ply his callouses off, and he’d glue them back. He was a generational talent.

[@philmccarthy8925]

Love your takes on SRV! Saw him on 6 different occasions in the Boston area. Each time was different and memorable. A Sunny Sunday afternoon outdoor show by the sea in Salem MA was ridiculous!! He sat on the edge of the stage and played Hendrix’ Wind Cries Mary, during an encore. Just played, never forget it.

Thank you so much for SRV. Tightrope is a good one too.

[@kramerbassplayer]

One of the best ever

[@jamestemple1309]

Stevie Ray never failed to amaze me. He took a Larry Davis tune, "Texas Flood", and covered it so well that it defied description. Then, he took "Look at Little Sister", first recorded by Henry "Hank" Ballard and the Midnighters, and made it into this masterpiece. If you would care to hear Hank's original recording, here 'tis: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZWaiqFopcpkfqc. I'm 82 years old and Stevie Ray's talent still blows what little mind I have left.

[@markyancey8035]

Stevie Ray was the Truth His band is awesome also

[@WhoWouldWantThisName]

They definitely had those guitar switches down real smooth and fast. By the end of his career Stevie had about 5 or 6 guitars used in a single show, not counting backups. Different guitars for different songs. Most guitarists usually have at least a half dozen back stage. Most quite a few more than that. You should see Billy Gibbons guitar collection just for the shows alone. He is rumored to have hundreds, the biggest collection in the world. EVH probably had the most amps and Billy had the most guitars.

[@homie1kenobi95]

I always imagine Stevie with the Allman Brothers Band, that would be sick!!

[@4yules]

One of my favorite albums from SRV is called SOUL TO SOUL. Check it out for some serious blues. ✌🏼❤ HE HAS RISEN!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Happy Easter fellas

[@AirplayBeats]

Happy Easter!!

[@MrDavidfarris]

SRV’s playing was central to the groove of the song. Most front men simply “act” as if their playing is pertinent to the tune. They sort of wave at the guitar when in truth it’s more posing than anything else. Stevie plays the damn the damn thing, and the band fits around it. That what makes this quick and seamless transition to a second instrument so impressive. This guy did so many things right, paid his dues, overcame his own demons and played the hell out of it. Much love and respect to SRV and his technician. The fact that his backup axe was identically tuned and ready to go speaks to the amount of gig night preparation. I would wager they had another one ready to go if needed also.

[@Noelle0026]

My favorite Stevie song is Pride and Joy.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I'm just starting this reaction but man as a longtime Stevie Ray Vaughan fan who was there when his first album came out and bought it when I was nineteen years old and I've seen him in concert three times for a diet. You absolutely need to check out the studio Cuts. Without any question. It's wonderful to see him live to understand how great he was but you've got to hear the stuff that we heard on the radio and on the record albums that made us love him. That's where he gets to say this is exactly what I want to communicate and his band is always fantastic as well. Please please please don't do like all the reactors and only do live stuff. Check out the genius that he is in the studio as well.

[@randygumaer282]

SRV is one of music's GOATS. You should see the video of B.B. King changing a string in the middle of a song, these OG Bluesmen were the shit!

[@skipjohnson7255]

You will never see another like him !

[@daryllemons66]

Watch for the string... and then the switch

[@dantallman5345]

Love the bounce on this…is that called Texas swing? Pride and Joy and Close to You have that too. For something different Life by the Drop is just SRV on a 12 string acoustic, a standard blues shuffle base with flourishes only he does.

[@lathedauphinot6820]

Studio? “The Sky Is Crying”, “Life By The Drop”, and with his brother Jimmie as The Vaughan Brothers “Telephone Song” he does his Hendrix tricks, “Tick Tock” is a modern soul classic written and introduced by Jimmie and sung by Stevie, and my favorite is “Long Way from Home”. Jimmie plays his world-class Fabulous Thunderbirds-style rhythm guitar and Stevie plays lead and sings. It’s fast but so hot that it actually speeds up while they’re playing.

[@larrysquires5321]

Song was originally written and recorded by Hank Ballard (and the Midnighters) in the 60s. Not Reese's. He was was just given the nod to Reese to solo. He often recognizes all the players in Double Trouble.

[@timdore1131]

Massive shout out to René Martinez his guitar tech. I saw an interview with Tab Benoit where he reached out to René asking him what kind of string lubricant he used on SRV's guitars (because Tab was breaking a ton of strings too). René told him he made up a lube using a lubricant mixed with graphite and it helped reduce (somewhat) the amount of strings that he broke. Tab then proceeded to make his own lubricant by mixing half and half 'Slick 50' and gear oil. Tab Benoit would be another great artist to check out, his live version of 'These Arms of Mine' is incredible.
