Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood (from Live at the El Mocambo)(Speechless!!)[Brothers React]

[@stuntman1359]

Best guitar performance ever recorded, imo. Stevie obviously had great skill, tone, passion, and feel, but there's something else going on that puts him above the rest. I can't explain it, but like you said in the vid, it gets right to your soul.

[@milsurprifles]

In this video, that something else was cocaine. Lol. Stevie was amazing.

[@javi5810]

Definitely agree but have you seen Edgar winter playing Frankenstein in that studio video it’s not a live performance but it was one take and it has a pretty raw audio

[@charleybarley914]

the word you're looking for is STANK

[@jking2584]

1000% I agree sir

[@Rock_Snob]

This was Stevie on tour promoting his first album!!! 😳

[@jimbo4110]

When Stevie goes behind the back, it is fun to watch the reactions as jaws drop to the floor. And they always have to stop and back it up. It is magic to watch him play. I was lucky to see him at a small club when his first album dropped. We were all floored by him. When he died, I thanked God I got to see him play. It boggles the mind to think of the music he could have put out in the 30 years since his passing. Some say God called Stevie home early because he wanted guitar lessons. RIP SRV.

[@immortalfae13]

He's got a Hell of a Band up there! Love to hear 'em play!!

[@andrewryan2814]

They say Stevie made a deal with the devil. Nobody knows what Stevie got, but the devil got guitar lessons.

[@Spursfan4ever1]

It was a tragic tragic loss to say the least. Hell of a party going on up there.

[@pampietro8980]

Saw SRV at Toads Place, New Haven, Ct. July 25, 1983. Was blessed being able to witness greatness. R.I.P. Stevie. 😔

[@aland4092]

Yeah it's funny. He does it so smooth that people kinda miss it. Then a delayed reaction and the jaw drops and the video gets backed up. Every time !

[@rhondafenner6725]

Well if guitar just comes natural to you, check your birthday n do the math you might be onto something.

[@terrie86]

I cant believe this!! I too walked the halls of Kimball High School with him! I didn't know him personally, he was a year ahead of me. Just knowing that I passed him in the halls on any given day is enough for me!

Congratulations Guys, You just watched the GREATEST Guitar player to ever walk the planet!

[@ginabolin7213]

THE G.O.A.T...no one could nor can top this mans talent

[@KHarmonTCC]

SRV is far and away my favorite guitarist ever. I respect him for giving props to Jimmi Hendrix in an interview when he said that Hendrix was the better guitarist.

[@Amicy]

Definitely rare to find people that are amazing at what they do, and still give credit to the ones who essentially paved the way for them

[@selmonb921]

Dude what was he supposed to say? I'm here to say SRV was a much better guitar player! Hendrix also thought guys like Terry Kath was a much better guitar player then him. So in reality its not being a bragger!

[@billbryant9995]

@@selmonb921 You're right. Jimi Hendrix said that Terry Kath from the band Chicago was the best guitarist in the country. @Amicy, you need to check out some Chicago when you get a chance!!! For my vote, I think Stevie was the best of all time.

Hendrix layed the foundation and Stevie built upon it....

[@theoak64]

Stevie is like a minister up with the pulpit preaching the gospel.

[@CharCanuck14]

The El Mocambo was the absolute best bar/venue we had in Toronto, especially during the 70's and 80's. Not a huge place - seated about 450 - but managed to book incredible acts just before they hit the music stratosphere. As well as Stevie Ray some of the bands were: Blondie, The Cars, U2, Meatloaf, Cheap Trick, Jimi Hendrix - loads more. In 1977 the Rolling Stones even gave 2 surprise performances there. They billed themselves as "The Cockroaches".

[@lanewoods9420]

Yeah, everybody just used to say the El Mo.

[@bh1264]

Not only could Stevie Ray Vaughan play behind his back & behind his head, but he could also play with his right hand only & his left hand only. He could also play lead guitar & rhythm guitar at the SAME TIME ON THE SAME GUITAR! He was born in 1954.

[@angelabarazzone7899]

Check out Little Wing and him with Johnny Copeland singing Tin Pan Alley.

I don't believe that there will ever be a guitarist the likes of SRV. The music flowed through him and out the amps.

Greatest electric guitar player ever. Rest In Peace.

I have been watching alot of reactions to this performance and every one is speechless at the end! Y'all are a cut above the rest. Keep up the great work guys!

[@Cashcrop54]

Grade A reaction guys and spot on. SRV just keeps getting bigger and bigger still. I’ve said it before “Stevie didn’t have a gift...he was the gift” He will never ever be forgotten and he will continue to be more and more appreciated as a great artist. Great video! Try the live vid of “Life Without You” from 1985 in Passaic NJ. It is my favorite SRV video and of anyone else for that matter.

[@jeffskinkle1711]

[@jonathanbranhamsdrawingand5075]

I call SRV the goat of the blues for a reason he will be missed RIP

[@SGTJDerek]

What I like about y'all's style of Reaction is you leave it up to the fans to guide you on your journey. I'm just a tad older than you and Country/Bluegrass was the staple on Granny's radio and Family Reunions. R&B was the staple on the Boat. (8 tracks were cheap) I wore out a couple of Elvis LPs. I studied Classical in School and can't forget The Bugs Bunny, Road Runner Show was FULL of Classical. It created a LOVE of music that spans so many Genres. Music brings us together. It's what we need more of in this World.

[@bryanrendleman2001]

When Stevie finished this performance, his guitar 🎸 asked for a cigarette !

[@timsweeney5035]

Watching you guys react to SRV reminds me of the first time I ever heard him play. I literally giggled and said that's how I want to play always! Can't say I've ever even come close but listening to him taught me how to play the blues and lead guitar in general. He is the GOAT without a doubt!

[@ramonrherrera]

THIS IS HALL OF FAME, CHAMPIONSHIP MATERIAL !!!!.....

[@edwardhayes2465]

There is, almost, a world wide universal reaction to him playing behind his back. I love it!

[@chrisdurham6517]

Your reaction is among the best out there! I was lucky enough to catch Stevie Ray in LA in '84. I was still a teenager, and plucking at guitar as my get-girls strategy. Stevie saved me from the music of the 80s, and showed me that the guitar is a pursuit in itself, regardless of the girls. I was in the army in SaudiArabia, deployed to Desert Shield when he died. From my little spot in the desert, that day made the whole world seem a lonely place. You guys take care.

[@Carol-D.1324]

I was incredibly lucky to have seen SRV in concert. I was living in Dallas and he was HUGE there because he was from Texas. One thing you have to realize is that you don’t just WATCH Stevie Ray Vaughn..you EXPERIENCE Stevie Ray Vaughn. ✌️&❤️

It's required with such heavy blues music that the musician, who's playing their heart out, MUST make their best "stank face," just like SRV does here.

Cool reaction guys. SRV was born in Dallas Texas in 1954, died August 27 1990. Saw him live in Shreveport Louisiana a few times. Stevie was, and is the GOAT. Y'all get time, check out his jam Life Without You. Yallbwont be disappointed.

I'm a guitar player. I saw Stevie Ray Vaughn 4 times. Every show made me want to sell my guitars. The way he can make the guitar play with only one hand is compression and distortion and a very loud Marshall amp. I've been playing Marshalls for years.

But it is where I found so here it goes. If you like the style of blues that SRV does then you may like Delbert McClinton- Every time I roll the dice & Never been rocked enough... Bonnie Raitt, John Hiatt, Keb mo, Taj Mahal, etc. If you love this kind of music they're more than worth a listen! It is vast & it is beautiful!
