This concert @Austin City Limits was after he got clean of his addictions and you can see how happy he was at this time. RIP Stevie.

[@keltonhutchison5951]

Absofreakinlutely

[@UNDERCOVER4825]

He was so incredible all the time but look at the difference in his face from El Mocambo where he was pasty. Still Love him and I’m in my 70’s.

[@tangoalpha1347]

So sad to know how he died... He was one of the greatest guitarists in the World, and I've Heard a lot..

[@BarbButler]

💙💙💙💙💙… 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@bigmike2464]

he got clean, and his playing went to another level.... When he died, IMO he was the BEST in the World... In Step is a CLASSIC

[@mitzifrancis9843]

This entire 1989 Austin City Limits show is perfection.

[@mjojco]

Abso-freakin-lutely it is!!

[@TerryVonCannon]

This just shows how much better he would have even gotten if that's possible. Look at those clear gleaming eyes. You can see the sense of pride he had as he was finally working through all his demons. Absolutely breathtaking.

[@Ed9870]

Stevie's vocals were on point here as well. Heartfelt lyrics about finding his way back from drink and drugs.

[@saxworthmusic]

You should check out SRV on Night Music which was a show hosted by saxophonist David Sanborn. It's a live performance backed by some NYC's best musicians at the time. It's interesting to hear him in such heavy company.

[@rogercaruso9337]

It brings back memories I remember watching this on TV show. It's called Austin city limits.😊😊

[@Uuuuutuuuube]

Great song. This is Stevie after he finally got clean..walking the tightrope

[@midnitesunblues]

Stevie lived what he is singing here... making amends - he took that seriously. Clean, sober, walking his tightrope. He made it right. Love and miss him.

[@m.gideonhoyle409]

SRV belonged to one of the rarest breeds of guitarists: technically proficient feel players.

[@jamescutler8055]

His brother Jimmy Vaugh is a great guitarist too, you check him out with the Fabulous Thunderbirds.

[@UglyDoug304]

At the 2:50 mark the little pause and transition back into the melody is legendary SRV! His timing hits the center of the pocket like a hundred mile an hour fastball popping into the catcher’s mitt from a loaded shotgun! If that doesn’t make you get up and start grooving, your soul needs a shot of adrenaline. Such an intense and powerful performer! I just wish that cloning was a viable option before he tragically died in a helicopter crash. We lost the greatest blues player of all time. Sheer magic with world class skills vocally and Universal guitar skills and Godlike ability on the stage. There will never be another Stevie Ray Vaughan. What a gift to the world ❤❤❤

[@vomhausmann]

Yes....what a gift he was.....

[@olly8]

There's a reason why Stevie Ray Vaughn is as popular NOW as when he was alive. LEGENDS keep playing on. Lucky us! 🎸🎶🎵🎶 Keep on Truckin!! Or should I say "hammer those strings"!!

[@billblackbone7152]

AHHHHHH JESUS FN CHRIST NOBODY AND I MEAN NOBODY HAS EVER OR WILL EVER BE ON THE SAME LEVEL AS THIS MAN!!!

[@fredbarakat2634]

guys, you must hear "leave my girl alone" from this same concert. it's a blues masterpiece and his skills will blow your mind.

[@DM-hk4cw]

His music just oozes from him. My favorite by him.

[@ragjamrock]

Stevie was born with a guitar attached to him. His playing style made it look so easy,just like a walk in the park. Jimi would have loved him.🎶🎸

[@garya7893]

I have heard some say this was his best solo and I agree its more melodic than most of his masterful straight up blues leads

[@stephenodonnell8023]

Great compliment

[@deaniegarcia5694]

Love this song! The line “can’t catch a turtle in this rat race” always makes me smile…I have my daily fix of y’all now…great work as always…thank you!

[@mrnobody9104]

The greatest gunslinger there ever was. RIP SRV

[@robertwalker1803]

One of a kind…his keyboard player Reece is with Joe Bonamassa now.We forget what a great voice Stevie had…Those guitar strings are saying “ Ow”.

[@Greg-io1ip]

Good news, great post! Reese one of the greatest keys ticklers with Joe B? I hope they write some new material with hearts all in.

[@1bigrowdy]

For a real acoustic treat from SRV try Life by the Drop

[@johnboydTx]

Absolutely 👏👏👏 great song ✌️

[@johnathanstruble1064]

The Last Studio Album with Double Trouble is called " In Step". SRV was clean and Sober and paid tribute to the twelve step program. Everysong is personal about regret, forgiveness, and Joy. This performance doesn't capture the magic of studio version, only because they hadn't played it Live but a handful of times. On your own time listen to this, and you'll hear Tommy Shannon walking the dog. The whole album is perfection.

[@jfcardello]

One of the best versions of Life Without You on that double album cassette I had back in the 80’s.

[@johnathanstruble1064]

@@jfcardello Johnny, if you haven't yet, the SRV Nashville live show on you tube, taped for the Jerry Lewis Labor Day telephon, is a great performance, and has one hell of a good life without you performance. It also has a bad ass Superstition performance as well. Taped a few months after his recovery.. changed the game! ✌️

[@ketchman8299]

In Step is his best, period. And soo many references those of us who have managed to fight through our own demons and addictions feel. You just feel his thankfulness at being alive.

[@ronaldelliott4373]

Remember this show well. He was pushing those amps at 11, the distortion was perfect. God I miss him. Thankfully we have his music and some amazing video of his performances. 🤘😎

[@jamescutler8055]

Double Trouble his rhythm section was so tight and able to follow his lead. Great band.

[@Greg-io1ip]

Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon adapting on the fly like a great jazz band, except this is heavy rocking blues.

[@wild8757]

This is my favorite Stevie Ray Vaughan tune, been waiting for this one! 🥁🎸🔥

[@mrmiscast]

You hear cover after cover of most artists, even guitar players these days. You just don't see many of Stevie Ray Vaughan. I'm assuming most people either can't play the song or can never re-create that sound that came from those bridge sized cables he used for strings. The One and Only.... Stevie Ray Vaughan, and it's just another night for him...

[@billydworrell8259]

Stevie Ray Vaughn doesn't play the guitar, he beats it into total submission. The absolute beauty of SRV is hes never looking or searching for the next note. He's truly a vessel that the music flows out of his heart and through his fingers.

[@ws3764]

The REAL GUITAR HERO!

[@rgmann]

"Caught in the Crossfire" from this same concert is fire!!!

[@Caseydog3]

I don’t care what others say SRV is the G.O.A.T!

[@ron88303]

Probably for his style of guitar. Flamenco, classical, jazz, finger-style? Not so much.

[@klasseact6663]

I love watching you guys react to SRV because your faces tell everybody that you get it!

[@AW11-e4h]

It’s all about the Blues fellas 🤘🤘

[@shellycasbeer3775]

He never gets old. Fantastic stuff he brought every night. If I could go back in time and see him perform once again it would be magical. I think I can see you have as much appreciation for his music as many people do. I can go through the rest of my day now. Thank you✌️🎶🎸🎼

[@janicez2630]

You are so right - he never gets old. I am so grateful to have seen him a year before he died. He and Double Trouble were so good. Great show.

[@toddmichelfelder3417]

SRV is of course The Man, but the sound behind him which blends so well is the work of Masters in its own right!! Hats off to Tommy, Chris, and Reese!!!!👏👏👏

[@realbser1956]

This is a man that never misses. What a talent he was, a master fo sho’ ✌️

[@petermorgan5303]

Great way to end the week with a little SRV! Feel so lucky I got to see him live. But damn we lost a great one

[@keithjames7843]

I was fortunate enough to see Stevie live in 1987 in Daytona Beach Best concert I’ve ever seen Watch him perform Ain’t Gone Give Up on Love at this concert This man was special and taken way too soon from us He never performed a song the same way He didn’t have to Eric Clapton said music just flowed through Stevie like no other Eric Clapton is another blues guitar player and one of the best Watch Eric perform It Hurts Me To

[@ML-un1oi]

Can not go wrong with SRV. Thanks fellas. As always great reaction fellas. La and Che are the best in the business. Much appreciated 🙏

[@AirplayBeats]

Thank you!! We appreciate you

[@neuvocastezero1838]

Supposedly, the first time that Eric Clapton heard Stevie Ray Vaughn play it was on a car radio, and he had to pull the car over because he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

[@julietate7806]

Same thing happened to me, but I pulled over because the radio station was fading in & out. When I got to work, I called the radio station and asked, "Who the hell was THAT?" They told me SRV. I left work at lunch time and hauled ass to the nearest record store and bought "Texas Flood."

[@mariaportengen2959]

A real guitar artist, a true masterpiece! 🎶🎶🎸🎸

[@stangsswang8355]

yes

[@wild8757]

Now that’s what you call a guitar solo to the Um Th power. 🥁🎸🔥💣

[@Ranjer-os5wr]

I get chills at what he did and then my eyes tear up thinking at what he could have done with more time on this earth.

[@dreww1609]

Always great to see ya'll revisit Stevie! When he has his Tube Screamer pedal on and digs into that #1 Strat, nastiest tone I know I've ever heard. Great example is "So Excited" from El Mocambo. RIP to the best ever.

[@vomhausmann]

Just listened to "So Excited" recently for the first time & you're right, that's a great song.

[@Greg-io1ip]

La and Che got the good herbal music today, like pretty much every day. SRV was something live. Just lived for that stage like nobody else.

Tin Pan Alley is another cover of an old classic. 😎

[@motodork]

Glad to see more people reacting to this great performance.

[@stephanieallangarman5598]

Stevie Ray was such a huge fan of Jimmy Hendrix that he paid for his music to be produced. Jimmy’s new wife received everything and didn’t not look back after JIMMY passed. So Stevie understood this and made a point to seek out Jimmy’s father to show him respect. Jimmy’s father gave Stevie some of his son’s guitar equipment. Stevie was such a kind and respectful LEGEND that it’s hard to watch his music but if you grew up with a guitarist father it’s like NOSTALGIA. TY AIR PLAY BEATS. 🙋🏻‍♀️❤️‍🔥🎸🙏🏽

[@jameshoward9137]

You guys should do a reaction to SRV Wall of Denial off his "in step" album (same album with Riviera Paradise and Tight Rope. I'm a guitar player and Wall of Denial has a great groove and incredible playing by him. It's my favorite from that album. RIP! He has plenty of good players trying to copy him over the years but no one has his soul and passion. He truly manhandled that guitar! Thanks guys.

[@robertprice6830]

Kinda makes you think he came out of the womb with a guitar and amp. Playin Voodo Chile

[@787music]

Gone too soon...I can only imagine the music that he would have made...

[@benhinds2971]

I think that tone. The "velcro-rip-fuzz sound" is partly from a chorus or univibe set at a really fast speed. Giving that vibrating- rubbing sound. That plus a lot of Ibanez Tube Screamer, which he used for overdrive..... Maybe he used a Fuzzface?.... Never heard that, but, you know,.....Jimi..

[@julietate7806]

I don't know the exact date of this ACL performance, but I DO know I saw him on June 15, 1990 in Atlanta on a bill with Irma Thomas, Joe Cocker, Dr. John, and BB King. He, but not his music, died on August 27th of the same year.
