Stevie Ray is a national treasure, a force of nature.

[@TheOneinamillion1]

Like I always say Stevie didn't play music, Stevie was music.

[@ryancampbell2192]

Stevie Ray Vaughn was arguably one of the best modern blues guitarists (if not one of the best guitarists in music) of all time. Gone too soon in a helicopter crash outside Milwaukee.

[@sharibryant458]

STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN was a very special man. You should check out his documentary on KZbin you will be very impressed with him. he was God gifted. gone way too soon. RIP STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN, would like to see you do his live in Austin MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB and live TIN PAN ALLEY WITH JOHNNY COPELAND. You will enjoy both. thank you for this great reaction

[@tedfortado8913]

The documentary Rise of a Texas Bluesman on Tubi which is free is also very good.

[@stephenpemberton85]

Could you imagine the volume in Guitar Heaven with Hendrix,EVH and SRV and countless others! That' would be my paradise! ✌💛🤘

[@yambo59]

DEFINITELY BLUES / SOUL, the original Texas axe man, gunslinger, all around guitar GOAT. I was lucky enough to see him play live twice, he was even more impressive live ill never forget it.

[@sst3d]

I saw him twice in Chicago…you’re like me: lucky to be old enough and show up. Music was so accessible and diverse back then

[@janiemingues1121]

i love his voice butttt the soul coming out that body n thru that guitar ,,,is the real treasure

[@pd4104lang]

He helped to mainstream a resurgence in blues back in the 80's.

[@davidjohnston351]

Rest in peace Stevie Ray Vaughan

[@fredtello]

I once saw Stevie Ray Vaughan look at a guitar and it started to play itself

[@roncaffey9667]

Heard you say that some of the comments referred to Stevie as “not a very good singer “. ARE YOU FREAKING CRAZY! He’s absolutely one of the greatest blues singers of all time in the style of blues that he played. Phenomenal world class axe skills with his velvety smooth and gravel rich vocals separate Stevie from everyone else who ever picked up a guitar and performed live shows ❤❤❤

[@danielwilliams6952]

SRV was and still the GOAT. The more of Stevie u react to, the more subscibers you'll get. Stevie can still capture the soul

[@phaworth8520]

Stevie Ray was Texas Blues. He strayed into Rock and other but... no he identified with and worshipped the Blues legends. He never thought of himself as anything but Blues.

[@jeffharry9675]

Stevie Ray was The Man. His death when a helicopter crashed on a hill in the fog is still painful to think about.

[@williamcabell142]

Dudes the GOAT OF GOATS!!!!!!!! He is the blues my man...he ain’t rock. Who ever calls him rock, doesn’t know their ass from a hole in the ground!🤨

[@neilmceachren9485]

Stevie died in a helipoter crash in southern Wisconsin at alpine valley and he was to be riding with eric clapton. I saw him the day before at the great venue and appreciated him so much. TY for the great tunes and bringing great memories

[@zeem3366]

SRV was a blues player not rock n roll but he did kind of mix both together in his style of playing. He was and is the GOAT of blues, this man came out of the womb with a guitar in his hands. Thank you for your reaction this was awesome, you just gained a new fan

[@212x3]

His voice has been described as "Honey poured over gravel". While Jimmy was a genius, Stevie was a master. Check out him doing "Little wing" live.

[@stephenpemberton85]

That's Jimi!😊✌💛🤘

[@subversivelysurreal3645]

He’s all blues. Try Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland, from Montreux 1985.

[@williamwarlick3497]

Fabulous reaction! Thanks RIP Sting Ray!

[@wendellburkhart8297]

Just found your channel and subscribed to it and I cut my teeth listening to Stevie Ray Vaughn ! None like him .... never have been and never will be . Not just a Texas Treasure... A National Treasure !

[@margiemcpeak9304]

🎸💯 Those Texas Blues tho‼🤯🔥 SRV called his guitar "The One"‼ RIP Stevie Ray Vaughan. ❤🕊🙏

[@paulschmidt1644]

You are correct my guy Stevie identified as a blues player.

[@paulsullivan1650]

On August 27, 1990, Stevie Ray died in the early morning hours when his helicopter crashed into a hill in heavy fog in East Troy, Wisconsin. He had planned on driving, but knew he'd get home faster by chopper. So Eric Clapton told him to take his helicopter. Only a few minutes after taking off, a loud explosion was seen on the hillside of the Alpine Valley Resort where he, Clapton, Buddy Guy and Vaughan's older brother Jimmie had just finished playing. His agent, Bobby Brooks, and some of his crew also died in the crash. There was a convoy of helicopters, about five of them, that had to maneuver through very thick fog only about 100 feet off the ground. Unfortunately, Stevie's chopper was the one that didn't lift high enough to clear the hill through the fog. Ironically, he was on Clapton's helicopter. Eric told Stevie to take his and he'd wait for another one. That's why it was initially reported at first that both Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eric Clapton were killed together that morning...

[@wendellburkhart8297]

I remember finding out and I was so stunned that I couldn't talk and it took me a long time to come to grips with this. Still doesn't seem real .

[@LauraHalvar]

Clapton, the racist POS, lived. We lost Stevie. 😭

[@harrietmiller3982]

Yes this man and his guitar are seamlessly blended together. I've never seen or heard anything like him and won't again. Anything and everything from him and Double Trouble is 🔥‼️ I love his voice🎶💯 it can be gritty and bluesy and so tender it will melt your heart. More please✌️🦋

[@johnroop9625]

When Stevie was just 14,a band of college age guys "leader" had SRV sub on lead guitar for their first recording.Their bass player said that by the end of the session,they all KNEW:They'd seen seen true genius up close for the first time.

[@skirk9184]

Best ever reaction!!! Enjoyed. Stevie was incredible. The ultimate mating of man, music and instrument. It's rare and so is the soul behind it. A genuine down to earth good guy. Tells it straight but not with malice. A lover at heart. RIP Stevie ..and thanks for leaving your awesome legacy of music to share with new generations.

[@rogeroran2911]

Stevie Ray is The GOAT of guitar players. The man was amazing.

[@andrewlopez5055]

S.R.V. was and still is the king of Texas Blues

[@paulschmidt1644]

Life with out you live at capital theater by Stevie is next level guitar playing, it will blow your hair back.

[@yotaman2112]

Aside from SRV being a Master at his craft, the one thing that stands out about him is he was an extremely humble man who always was a student of the guitar. He always gave props to all the ones he learned from the King brothers and his idol Jimmie Hendrix to name a couple. He has so much for you to react to. I’ll give you one of my favorites….. please react to “Mary Had A Little Lamb live on Austin Texas”. Yes sir he did do a song to the kid’s nursery rhyme and he kills it!!!

[@snewhouse13]

SRV is both rock and blues. Old time blues players give him mad respect.

[@yambo59]

The best blues guitar performance ever recorded, period.

[@janiemingues1121]

thats a human doing exactly what he was made to do

[@chrisw3421]

He plays it like he invented it

[@andaimhineach4131]

This is The Blues, brother.

[@brianbarnett1004]

He had to of hit 10,000 notes in a few minutes. Bending, picking, tapping them. Never missed a one. Just, how can someone just nail anything perfectly 1000s of times in a few minutes? Definitely a level that few humans have reached in any skill.

[@nelsonx5326]

I play classical guitar. The fingers get a kind of muscle memory. He probably mutes some strings when he comes down hard and only the fretted strings sound. But SRV is something else. Check out some classical guitarists, all the fingers picking strings with accuracy, super fast too. So fast they sound like 2 guitars. This gorgeous woman is amazing... kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH-on5qwaKqjopo

[@harrietmiller3982]

BB King once said that he (BB) played the blues in sentences and that Stevie played in paragraphs and never ran out of things to say🎶🎸💯

[@karthain5742]

This guy is the GOAT. If you really want a good representation of what he can do in one performance, you have to watch his performance of Life Without You Live from the Capitol Theater.

[@Tbirdhaynes]

Yup, what he said ☝️

[@michaelbrewer8635]

There wrong when they said he's not the best singer perfect blues rock voice

[@quiltie1774]

Remember he was probably drunk and high on cocaine during this performance. He usually was. He got clean later in life. So inspiring!

[@alexanderh.5814]

Greatest ever. He had massive hands and could bend the strings to get that sound.

[@jennhurl]

Hey friend! You referenced him as a rock God & his style of play as rock - but also mentioned it sounds like Blues. THAT'S where you're correct. Stevie is one of the best blues guitar players ever. THE BEST in my opinion. He heard Al King & BB King play & they were "the best" at the time. They were Stevie's idols & he wanted so much to play like them. He spent years traveling from band to band & town to town honing his craft as a Blues player. He taught himself to plays, you know. When Al & B.B. both eventually accepted SRV as their peer, performed with him, and even said SRV is indeed THE greatest Blues guitarist ever it was his dream come true. They were blown away he plays with 0.13 guitar strings which no one does. They are VERY VERY thick. His fingers used to bleed & he'd just take some glue and put his skin back on. Stevie was a very humble man though. When asked he freely says this person is better or that person is better - but never himself. He was happy just to be in their presence. So yes, always equate SRV with Blues. -- Yes, "Voo Doo Child" is Jimi's rock song, and SRV's song for example Pride & Joy has elements of Rock- which he could & did play - but always associate SRV with Blues. Rock guitar gods would be: 🔥Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin - Check out Stairway to Heaven Live 🔥Eddie Van Halen of Van Halen - check out his solo called "Eruption" 🔥David Gilmour of Pink Floyd - check out "Comfortably Numb" at Pulse. 🔥Eric Clapton - can't think of a solo but "Cocaine" has a nasty riff!! 🔥Alex Lifeson of Rush - check out "YYZ" Live in Rio Notables are Brian May of Queen, Peter Frampton "Do You Feel Like I Do", Angus Young of AC/DC, & Slash of Guns & Roses "Novemeber Rain.

[@minigirl6379]

You gotta check out Stevie Ray doing "Look at Little Sister ". Then, check out him and Jeff Healey doing the exact same song, " Look at Little Sister ". Same song, completely different versions. Both will brighten your day and change your life. Jeff Healey was blind by the way. Even if you don't react to those, bless yourself and watch them for your own personal enlightenment. Stevie Ray played Rock, Blues, Jazz, Texas Boogie and Texas Swing. Nobody can touch his skills. Nobody. He's a demi god here in Texas! 🤠🥳💯💣💥

[@jimithy47]

Hear, hear!

[@AtomicSquirrelHunter]

John Lee Hooker said, "That white boy gonna put me outta business!"

[@cheryljackson5659]

Loved your reaction. Stevie Ray never disappoints! Please check out Look At Little Sister; Pride & Joy; Mary Had A Little Lamb; and SRV's Soundcheck! He IS the GOAT when it comes to the guitar. RIP SRV!

[@longgone4741]

King Kevo you really have to watch his documentary! Check out more of his music 🎵🎶. He's a Blues Great, with a Unique way of playing! I'm a Steve Ray Vaughn fan from the 80's. His death was a great loss to me. But I still listen to his music all the time. You'll see him playing with all the Old Blue's Greats!! BB King, Buddy Guy, and more!

[@mikezak8812]

Who suggested that this is rock n roll? Pure Blues... Stevie can rock, but this is the shit Brah

[@bernardqblack]

@10:40. Yep. That moment all doubt gets erased. GOAT

[@johnroop9625]

SRV was definitely greatest blues guitarist of all time...I say the best,PERIOD! He combined blues,rock,jazz & MAGIC! Check out "Lenny" also from El Macombo! Jazz on acid!!!

[@MPK-72]

SRV was a blues player. That's what he played and sung, the texas blues as he referred to it.

[@sometimeslyrical]

By the way, yesterday (October 3rd) was Stevie Ray Vaughan's birthday.

[@usertr13phinsup]

That's the Lord's blessings. Enjoy

[@robertajack2783]

Music poured through him and his axe had to follow. 💜🧡 The best that ever was !

[@BrianJohnson-bq9tr]

SRV is the best that has ever been...period!

[@friscocoonsliscano]

The real GOAT ❤RIP 🙌 TAKE GOOD CARE OF HIM JESUS 🙏 THANKS

[@therockbiter8140]

He didn't speak to us with his guitar, the guitar spoke to us with him. Every time he picked one up it gave us every sound that it possibly could. He wasn't the best guitarist to ever live, he was a conduit used to speak to us directly.

[@lynelleharper3661]

He was sweating cuz he was just on fire. Whew. Love him! Great reaction!

[@megadeth440]

You gotta listen to Tin Pan Alley Live with Johnny Copeland by SRV. Stevie was a guitar god! Another amazing chill ass song is “riviera paradise” I recommend listening to the studio version of that one

[@Brandon__Banks]

BB king said he was the best blues player he had heard. that speaks volumes

[@LauraHalvar]

😭

[@the90schild1]

that lick run at 4:44 is one of the nastiest/ most delightful things I've heard

[@shirleybuffington6420]

This is blues Texas blues

[@thisguy8916]

Blues. Texas Guitar Blues. Albert King being his mentor/ Godfather. Played with all the greats.

[@jackscott5593]

SRV ~ 🎸🐐 THE goat!

[@lindanoel1853]

Stevie decided early that old blues is the only music he wanted to play ++++ his own expression of it. Rise of a Texas Blues Man on yutube is 2 hours of his story -- so well done.

[@yambo59]

Best blues guitar performance ever filmed

[@jeffcallahan8713]

I remember when I heard the news he passed...I was waiting tables at Houlihans ( Glendale)in Indianapolis and was totally devastated!!

[@subversivelysurreal3645]

Helicopter crash in 1990. He had only made it since 1983…it put him on a public timeline eerily similar to Jimi Hendrix.

[@copedipper772]

Idgaf what anyone says SRV is the greatest of all time

[@phaworth8520]

Stevie Ray, like Bb King... legends. Yes, enriching the whole world

[@j.s.9536]

The guitar needed a cigarette after that.

[@artbagley1406]

Oh! to have been at El Mocambo that night!!! People melted into the floor, fell off their barstools, didn't want to leave the place. They'd just seen one of the most impressive 3-piece-band performances EVER. Good thing these film and sound crews were there!

[@vomhausmann]

Stevie sounds just as amazing in some of his older videos before Double Trouble...He was always on another level from everyone else💙

[@dannywood9480]

Little wing...yes, his brother said he would go into a light trance, and hold it till the end. In the zone..

[@brandy6281]

His Pride and Joy you get to hear his voice a lil more

[@georgehardin3037]

He was pure blues. You will find a lot of video of him with B B King and Albert King.

[@DanielLandress]

New subscriber here. He did kill "Voodoo Chile" but that's a Jimi Hendrix song - Jimi was one of Stevie's idols. And Jimi.. well, if'n you don't know Jimi you got to know Jimi. Anyway, I haven't read any comments and I'm sure tons of people have already mentioned what I said. But Stevie is all blues.. it's dirty nasty in your face blues... that's what the blues is, man.. all emotion.. and you see that oozing from Stevie. That entire Macombo show is sick. That encore song of his is fire... he goes off stage and probably does a few lines of coke and comes back to play "Lenny" -- that's another one to react to if you haven't already. And look into Jimi Hendrix "Machine Gun" live. Considered one of the greatest solo's of all time.

[@debbie4938]

The best, I’ve seen all the rest.

[@subversivelysurreal3645]

Listen to him play Lenny or Rivera Paradise, if you want to understand his range.

[@bobrice102]

I'll tell you what I hear. Pure majesty and slur of the guitar 🎸

[@wouldirun]

Your reaction was appropriate bro, im sub'n! THX!

[@megadeth440]

Another crazy fact about Stevie is he played 13s on his guitar. Most people like Eric Clapton, jimmy page, Jimi Hendrix etc all played with 9s or 10s. Stevie did 13s! This is why he had to super glue his finger tips on. Them strings would make his hand bleed. You can actually see his fingers bleeding in some live performances if you look close.

[@dm5319]

Yup - heavy blues genes. Look for stuff with him and Albert King. I always loved how he uses the whole guitar, chords and single notes, fast and slow - and he never gets "lost" - always seems to land on his musical feet when he comes to the final bars of a solo or a chorus. And you are right: the vocals are as much about feeling as they are being in tune.

[@SSPVideo]

SRV = THE G.O.A.T.

[@kimberleyphillips6671]

The soul is flowing.......enough said.

[@marthayoung2308]

[@kanniereeves1319]

Texas !

[@sometimeslyrical]

SRV and the guys in his band Double Trouble really had a blast doing "Love Struck Baby"/"Rude Mood" in 1987 at Daytona Beach, FL. The band was so tight... the bass player Tommy Shannon and drummer Chris Layton were awesome keeping up with Stevie Ray (which isn't easy in this set). Reese Wyans, SRV's man on the keys, is on fire. And Stevie Ray is positively joyful... If you react to it, or even just watch it on your own, you'll see what I mean!: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWWsfJeaethortU

[@glennburch1081]

SRV, yes, seemingly one with his guitar......transported somewhere else. He had several idols, Jimi Hendrix was one, Albert King was another. Pull up SRV and Albert King In Session "Born Under a Bad Sign". You clearly can see the homage SRV pays to Albert King which is more than justified. SRV left us way, way too early. Just like Duane Allman did, Janis Joplin, Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, Amy Winehouse, Otis Redding, Bob Marley, Jim Morrison, Marvin Gaye, Elvis Presley to name a few. So sad. Enjoyed your reaction, TY.

[@LauraHalvar]

I remember exactly where I was sitting when the bartender got a phone call and announced Stevie was dead. The air was sucked out of the room. The mood lasted for weeks. 😭
