Stevie Ray Vaughan - Sound Check | FIRST TIME REACTION!!!🔥🔥

[@russellgtyler8288]

Saw a comment somewhere. When a long hair cat wearing a cowboy hat, a leopard print duster and snake skin boots shows up you know some shit is about to go down. The cat in the hat with a strat. Finest kind.

[@rogercaruso9337]

That's how he does his sound checks I worked with him already at the Capitol theater in Passaic New Jersey on on the House crew actually got to meet him

[@Devon_Rismay]

Thats awesome!!!

[@dragonflyparade8143]

Lucky you!

great to see a reactor that actually plays guitar :D

[@likearainbow7501]

Stevie said there is no point in playing if you don't give it your all every time you play🎸even his sound check just squeezes my heart

[@Devon_Rismay]

Its very true.

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

I respect you first for being a talented guitar player, and second for trying to keep up with SRV! Damn, I wish he was still around.

[@matthewgenyas4454]

Phenomenal stage check

[@dw7244]

I really appreciate you. You are obviously a TRUE student of the game.

[@Devon_Rismay]

Thank you! 🙏🏾

[@barbarascotto3873]

That thunder is just Stevie saying thanks.

[@jonathanallred5501]

I'm sure that just about every sound check they did was like that, a show before the show!! Watching these old live videos is the only chance anyone has that's never seen them in concert to kind of see them in concert and my favorite thing about him playing is that he almost never played his songs or anyone else's songs the same way twice there always different and for me that's one of the reasons why I can watch these videos over and over and hear something different every time. RIP SRV!

[@harrietmiller3982]

🙌🙌👏👏🙌🙌🪅🎉🎸🎶‼️ yes you are right. He was very tired. He had just rolled out of bed, still yawning and rubbing his eyes. But once he picked up his missing piece🎸 he fell in like a boss. You knew when he really started to wake up. Yeah over 20 million view for a "soundcheck". Better than most people's concerts. Thanks for doing this✌️🦋

[@Devon_Rismay]

Anytime!!

[@jacksmith4460]

subbed, SRV is a beast, great reaction

[@Devon_Rismay]

Thank you!!

[@deborahhalbert3372]

Been waiting for this one. Even though I’ve seen this many times still can’t help but laugh when Reese’s piano bench breaks. And of course his sound check is better than most other people’s shows…

[@pjames8683]

dude must have had some strong hands ! played heavy gauge strings . and still popped more strings than anyone i ever saw lol

[@dinahgray5396]

Yeah they had literally just woken him up 5 mins before he walked on stage. On the vocals...he was just saving his voice for the show. Goat. Period.🤷🏼‍♀️ Enjoyed reaction...thx!!👍

[@kevinmiller5526]

Yeah man

[@Devon_Rismay]

🤘🏾

[@inertiallychallenged]

At 2:10, I had to laugh because I know you're a guitar player... I first saw Stevie live in late 80's in Memphis TN. He walked out and plugged in, then hit a few notes like that before he started playing the first song. Those first few notes gave me goosebumps. I'll never forget it.

Stevie's sound checks are better then most band's (or so called band's) theses days!!! He would blow people's mind's theses days if they heard him play .. HE WAS A GENIUS!!!

[@deborahcornell171]

I love that you recognize his songs just like those of us who've been fans since the 80's. Keep working on "Scuttle Buttin'". It's so fast! But you've got natural talent that'll get you there.💙

[@Devon_Rismay]

🤘🏾

[@helenwilliams7065]

Yeah, you got this!

[@Kennthpassanisi8139]

If you noticed he played 11 to 13 gauge strings on his guitar. Along with having extremely large hands and long fingers and strength like an orangutan grip, which was his secret to getting the sound out of the guitar along with specialized pickups. 11 to 13 gauge strings on a guitar is like trying to play piano steel cords and bending them. Try it sometime

[@bugvswindshield]

dude wakes up ...picks a boog....and shreads. wtf. no mortal does this

[@Devon_Rismay]

😂🤣 facts

[@davidcatalano3781]

Christian blues brother. Stevie's guitar tone comes from his soul. Just as your soul comes through your playing. Thanks for this video reaction. You will get the first song in God's time. He is the best .Stevie plays how my soul feels! Thanks so much for a great video! God bless!

@@davidcatalano3781 cool...what song? After your comment, I knew it was gonna make me sad if you didn't get to see him live. He was a friend so got to see him many times in every kind of venue. I just so wish that everyone had gotten to! I've heard a lot of great guitar players live, but Stevie truly was the GOAT! Everyone who's seen him live knows that!! He was also an extraordinary person!!😊

SRV walks in looking half dead, eyes like two piss-holes in a snowbank, plugs in and rips of shit I would kill to be able to do. Yeah, there's a few things in there worthwhile.

[@jacksmith4460]

his wah wah/vowel control is just stupid, and this is him on 60%, mad, the crazy key changing runs he did at the end was obscene

[@rogercaruso9337]

When he does sound checks he does sound checks for the all the kinds of music that he's going to be playing for that night so when he's going into what he's going into they know what to look for and how to mix it

If you haven't already seen it, check out VH1 Legends episode on SRV. Love your reactions.

[@Devon_Rismay]

Thank you! I'll check it out

[@Cbcw76]

Some folks said this was an 11 am check, some say it was his more normal 2-3 pm. He'd say elsewhere that 3 am bed time was "early but I tried to do that when I had another show to do." By the way, those opening licks include a 7-fret hammer-on's. Just ptratice those.

[@monalisaganser5813]

Stevie just woke up! Typical Stevie fashion jumps right in. Reese had to give everyone a good laugh when his stool broke. Stevie hardly ever did a song the same way twice! Enjoy your channel Devon!😀🎶🎸

[@davidwoolard1264]

You have to trust us when we recommend something bro.

[@lindseywehr4912]

You keep saying he looks tired. I don't know when this was recorded but the last two years of his life were the only sober ones of his life from the time he was 6 years old. There are a lot of musicians that have had lives cut short that left the rest of us wondering what might have been but this one I have a resentful grudge to God for cutting short. In that brief time he was sober he didn't make any music publically until the very end when God granted him his one wish that he vocalized his entire career which was making a record with his big brother Jimmie Vaughan. There was only a couple songs that were actually released. Tik Tok came out after his accident.... think about that one. Personally I believe God felt bad but he couldn't allow Stevie to mess with his plans and save the world before Jesus could get around to it.

[@rogercaruso9337]

No matter how many times he plays the same songs the jams are always different he can play the same song 10 times in one night and all the jams all the leads all that he does will be different

[@Devon_Rismay]

[@angeltriumphant1664]

He just rolled outta bed, that's why he looks tired

[@jacksmith4460]

ye the timing is mega hard, Im usually alright at that kind of thing, but the speed and fluidity is crazy (I play metal but my lead is blues really, long notes and flurrys) How he keeps the rhythm just skipping , sounds so tight without being stiff

[@Devon_Rismay]

Its crazy hard, getting closer tho

[@RussellStClair-cy1vu]

I'm still learning the fret board . ( I have zero rhtym )

Idk if you have reacted to Ain't Gon Give Up On Love and Change It both live at The Capitol Theatre ...you will love these versions! P.S lol...I really hate to mention another guitarist while Stevie's playing but have you ever heard the song Maggot Brain by The Funkadelic?? I'd love to see your reaction to that🙏🎶💕🎸🎸

[@Devon_Rismay]

I loooove maggot brain, gonna have to find a version I haven't seen already.

[@jackikarmichael65]

He rolled in without no teeth and looked real ragged out. I'm sure he went back to his hotel, napped, and got himself together. Just sayin... You can't play like this unless you're ready to show your ugly. This is the dirtiest, nastiest, stinkiest, most humble, street-level ugly-cry blues that you will ever know. Real Oak Cliff. Real Texas bravado. The West encapsulated. Deep Ellum to Austin. The ultimate guitar slinger.

[@rogercaruso9337]

I know it's probably a dumb question but you do gigs at all

[@rogercaruso9337]

Because you whale a mean axe

[@Devon_Rismay]

Yea I do, got a few next month here in Houston.

[@michaelhoilman6897]

Knew the song in 2 riffs. I call that a FAN, and a student. Or just play knows his stuff. Enjoy the shit outta your posts dude. Hey, what's that sig on your guitar? Just curious. Keep it up my friend. You are doing it right! (Imho, ofc). You deserve WAY more subs. Have a great w/e bud. Cheers ! Edit: Are you a lefty like me or do you reverse the screen for copy-write? Easy to see you are just being yourself. Please keep it that way if you are not needing the money and are doing it to pay the bills. No shame either way. Love your "free flowing" dialogue. TLDR: Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Devon_Rismay]

The almighty ERIC GALES signed my guitar. And thanks!!

[@nikonmark37814]

He looked tired because he was a drug addict at that time.

[@rogercaruso9337]

The wallet pedals his main thing he doesn't really have a lot of sound effects pretty much raw

[@bobr4987]

Please react to Tina S., Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement. Written for piano, but transposed to guitar by Dr. Viossey. She plays this at 17 yrs old in France. She has many other songs to react to as well. For Jazz, please react to Steely Dan's, "Don't Take Me Alive". The guitar is played by Larry Carlton. Thanks!

[@Devon_Rismay]

I'll take a look.
