SRV was an alien! No human could play like him!

[@SDPBandReactions]

Stevie was pure greatness , but his band Double Trouble was amazing too !

[@charleschevalier6185]

I am 71 yrs old' i have heard this song 1000 times and my reaction is still the same.My head is bobbing and chills run down my spine.

[@debravirden7130]

Was and still is the G.O.A.T.

[@woofy9887]

SRV was the GOAT. if you enjoyed that I highly recommend watching 'Texas Flood' from Live at the El Mocambo ✌

[@jeffreymazzoli9814]

A must see

[@GinMae]

Oh yeah - El Mocambo is the best - I just saw another reactor, though, who was viewing an "edited" clip - make sure you get the FULL song!

[@RMLtiger]

Every song from that live El Mocambo performance is unbelievable! Texas Flood will blow their mind. SRV = G. O. A. T. !!!

[@GinMae]

@@RMLtiger Riiiight?... lol

[@silodawg]

This !! Also remember that with Stevie it was just him, bass player and a drummer. It is all Stevie live and no processing crap

[@darkomtobia]

There is NOTHING more fulfilling on KZbin than seeing someone getting their SRV baptism.

[@johnenglish1955]

🤠You just witnessed the greatest guitarist in the history of music. Now he is playing for the angels 😇. We love♥ and miss🙏 you Stevie! 🎸🎸🎸

[@averyravenseye2651]

Yep. R.I.P Stevie.." Heaven done called another blues stringer back home"

[@lisamorrison2149]

The Master! 🎸Too bad he was taken from us so early. But man, he could play! 🎸🔥

Jimmy Page is the master not SRV, he was the GOAT

I know stevie's brother I see him around town from time to time my jaw always hits the floor when I see jimmy

[@ramonaalvarez7559]

Hey Lisa .. r u stalking me .. lol. But YES 💯!! SRV is the Master AND Page also .. who said we can't have 2 Masters . . wink wink

[@FanBoy1v1]

I grew up listening to Stevie and I have loved him my entire life! And I was born AFTER he died... I can't even imagine if he still was alive and performed and I got the opportunity to see him live!

[@davep8221]

Please, spell "GOAT" "favorite."

[@obbor4]

The first time that I heard SRV on the radio, I said, "This guy is the new Hendrix!" I saw him playing a club about a week later. He brought back blues all by himself. I saw him live several times. Always brought his "A" game. A genius of incalculable proportion!

[@thebigleone1066]

My brother and I have each played guitar over 40 years. We were stopped in our tracks when we first heard the opening to “Couldn’t Stand the Weather”. I am not exaggerating, stopped cold like some stunned mullets. My gawd, that man had a gift.

[@Missangie827]

My heart broke when Stevie passed- notice how good the drummer has to be to keep up-

[@hungfao]

For those of us so very old people who lived through Jimi Hendrix, Stevie isn't doing anything except adapting the song to Texas blues and throwing some of Jimi's tricks along the way. Jimi's style was rooted in psychedelics. He grew to despise this because he wanted to be thought of as a blues player. Anyway, Stevie is definitely brilliant. I know several people who can play this style but no one does it with Stevie's skill. As a guitarist myself, I can relate to a lot of his technique. But the one thing that sets him apart from all others, including Hendrix, is that he never runs out of something to say. His guitar vocabulary seems entirely endless. No pauses as he tries to think up his next phrase. He is in the moment on every note. I've seen him in concert just before he made it big back in the 80s. He was phenomenal.

[@vanessarupe2039]

Texas girl, here! You’ve just heard the best of Texas Blues Rock. Welcome to the rabbit hole. ✌🏻❤️💙

[@theblackcat5416]

[@shelleymarler9690]

SRV best blues, rock player ever. The music runs thru his body. Try "Crossfire"

[@dannycasson1551]

The greatest guitarist who ever lived in my opinion. He’s got it all. No, he doesn’t have a gazillion hits and no he’s not as innovative as Jimmy. But the man had incredible speed and style. That guitar is another appendage of his given at birth. Along with Jimmy and Eddie! 🎸❤️🎶

[@wiseman5076]

There's that point where you can just make it do what ya want. This is it.

[@XS-ry6ig]

BB King said said that he wished that he could sound like Stevie Ray Vaughan. We lost him to a helicopter crash. he was only 35 years old when he died. But his music lives on forever.

[@terryduncan31]

In my opinion, the best guitar player ever! He was said to be a great and humble person also.

[@franknoge]

There is a video somewhere on youtube (can't remember the concert) where he breaks two strings on the same song and still plays a perfect solo on four strings. At the end he smiles and shrugs when he hands the guitar to his tech. Got to see him three times, he only got better and better. The world was robbed when he died so young. You mentioned his clothes - there's an interview w/his drummer and bass player out there on YT as well, they say the clothes he wore on stage were the same ones he put on in the morning when he got up, said Stevie was oblivious to the looks he'd get in the shopping mall when they went out for pipe tobacco. WYSIWYG

[@robertwalker1803]

He was so cool and a very nice guy,too….Watch his 18 minute warm up for a concert video- you would not believe it.

[@mariolevasseur731]

If you were impressed by this, you have not seen anything yet. Stevie Ray Vaughan is on another level. The way the music flows through him into the guitar is beautiful to watch. Each performance is unique. Even the same song.

[@sharibryant458]

I LOVE YOUR APPRECIATION OF STEVIE RAY VAUGHN, THE GUITAR LEGEND 💜💜💜I BELIEVE HIS LOVE AND PASSION FOR HIS MUSIC IS UNMATCHED

[@irishgrl]

Not many people could take a Hendrix song to another level, but Stevie could. My fave guitarist bar none.

[@darkunicornwendy4191]

I was so fortunate to have seen him live. We didn't even know who he was at the time. He opened for Robert Plant. He blew us all away and Robert too. I haven't been the same since. He was taken from us not long after. If we knew we'd have all paid more attention and burned every flick of his hand into our memories. So great to have these videos. He was pure genius and no one can touch him then or now. Absolute master.

[@troyalcorn1184]

I will say this again, first time here for the Bro's, not the first time for me to say it many times in other places. Please see the video on youtube with SRV and Albert King. Albert was his unofficial godfather and his personal teacher. If you want to get into Stevie's head, then get into Albert King's head and also Jimmy Vaughan's head. You will see the greatness evolution. :)

[@fatsiddog]

I saw him live in 1985. He was so good, I don’t think I said a word the entire concert. I just sat there in disbelief for two hours...

[@kallyfest]

I've seen him in concert 4 times and the last time it's one month before his death with Joe Cocker ,what a great show i remember

[@leshubbell3254]

Awesome reaction......next - Texas Flood, Live At The El Macambo!

[@imweakfordeaky]

I’ll add my vote for “Texas Flood” Live at El Mocambo... the BEST performance of it. Your heads will explode into a million pieces! 🤯

[@johns881]

Texas flood by Stevie ray Vaughan, live at el mocambo next👏🏼

[@geraldherrmann787]

stevie ray vaughan arguably wrote the most relentless riff in guitar history, scuttle buttin´. here´s the youtube name of the best version (my opinion): (4K) SRV - Scuttle Buttin' (Live In Japan)

[@omniversalll]

SRV is the best guitarist that ever lived in my opinion. There's no other guitarist (other than maybe Gilmour) that gives me such a strong emotional twinge every single time I listen to them. Lenny - (from Live at the El Mocambo) is my absolute favorite live performance of his, such beautiful playing.

[@johnenglish1955]

🤠Agreed!!! 👍🎸🎸🎸

[@TexasMagnolia]

Guys, you have to see his :28 clip called “Soundcheck”. Its a mini-concert! And, the perfection of his actual Soundcheck routine.

[@TheBlaster54]

Stevie Ray Vaughn - the G.O.A.T. Period.

[@phillebo]

I agree, "he is the most skillful guitar player of all time". This performance started out 100 mph and didn't stop 'til the end. And, as others have pointed out, his best performances are his LIVE performances. That's when he is at his best.

[@chrisdurham6517]

It's so cool that you guys catch the subtle details, like Stevie playing flawlessly underneath the vocals. I got to see him once in Los Angeles in '84; truly an experience to see someone whose being is inseparable from his guitar, even when he's not playing. Thanks for the reaction.

Greetings from Austin, Texas!! This show was recorded for Austin City Limits for PBS, the longest running music show in television history. Being from Austin was fortunate to see SRV several times back in the day. I worked in the concert business for 23 years, and was able to meet Stevie backstage at Prince's concert here on the Purple Rain tour. He was very gracious and appreciative of the recognition!! Great reaction by you all to this classic video.

[@johnenglish1955]

🤠I was in the audience, Michael. I worked for the UT newspaper, The Longhorn, and our staff offices were located in the same journalism/communications building where ACL was filmed at the time.

[@sharibryant458]

STEVIE RAY VAUGHN the one and only. Love him!!!! You 2 are in for a hell of a ride discovering STEVIE. STEVIE RAY was truly a very gifted man. He played on the thickest guitar strings possible set up high off, most people say it would shred your fingertips. I did watch a documentary on him playing til his fingertips did come off!!! He super glued them back and kept playing!🥰😘💜

[@SueProst]

Please react to Stevie Ray Vaughan Life Without You written for his friend Charley Wirz who was a mentor and helped Stevie in how he designed his guitars and who died of a heart attack. At Nashville. Beautiful song and message and guitar

[@sylviapotter6328]

Keep listening to Stevie Ray and after songs like Voodoo Child in Nashville, Life Without You even Little Wing at the El Mocambo. There a reason he was inducted into The Austin Music Hall Of Fame in 1982, Blues Hall Of Fame, won 6 Grammys, 10 Austin Music Awards, 5 W.C. Handy Awards, Entertainer Of The Year, Instermental Of The Year, inducted into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2015. He was nominated for 51 Awards and won 21. The sad thing is after all of that he only had one #1 hit with Crossfire. He was in my opinion THE BEST GUITAR PLAYER OF ALL TIME THE TRUE GOAT

[@sbrubaker]

[@cathymcmahen271]

SRV is the GOAT!

[@TexasMagnolia]

The Pride of Texas! SRV is the BEST. ToDate, no Master has matched his complexity, cleanliness, nor difficulty. Because of his freakishly strong hands, SRV had to use 12/13 gauge strings...and still broke them.

[@artsilva]

The crazy thing is he is self taught inspired by his older brother Jimmy Vaughn of the Fabulous Thunderbirds and I believe he didn't know how to read sheet music. He plays by feel and emotion, he never played a song the same way twice. Also he used 13 gauge guitar strings which are unheard of. Basically he plays piano wire but had strong hands to accomplish what he needed to do, sometime breaking strings in the process. Suggested Must watch; anything from Live at El Mocambo. Every song from that show is utterly amazing and perfect and untouchable by any other guitarist attempt to match what he did.

[@mookie7688]

They should also watch the video of Pipeline where he plays with his brother Jimmie.

[@barrycohen311]

He's better than Mom's stuffed cabbage! :-) Good reaction guys.

[@beverlybrown2673]

Listen to the album Family Style, Stevie Ray and his brother Jimmie together. Jimmie Vaughan is lead guitarist for The Fabulous Thunderbirds, another good band to check out. Or watch Stevie's "sound check" where he stumbles in, hungover from the night before to do a pre concert sound check and does 20 minutes most musicians would be thrilled to pull off in a concert.

[@PeterTea]

A buddy of mine saw his last performance before his death at Alpine Valley. He went there to see Eric Clapton who was headlining and said that Stevie Ray blew Eric Clapton away.

[@elcarto22]

In case nobody has mentioned this yet, Stevie used far heavier gauge strings than almost anyone else (13 gauge), which are like telephone lines. And still managed to break strings on a regular basis, his hands and fingers were just that strong. Love your reactions, and I'll be following you from here out!

Don't know y'all, but subscribing just because you reacted to SRV. Educate yourselves on Stevie Ray and Double Trouble. There are some docs out there and a VH1 Legends on them. I'm an Austin native and the city was traumatized the day he died. Such a tragedy. Check out some other channels where guitarists break down his playing, why it's so hard to replicate and what makes it so special. Good job and I'll be watching y'all.

[@JasonWeddleDeathWeddle]

I also think he's the most skilled guitar player ever. No disrespect to Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen and all of the other greats & virtuoso's but in my opinion Stevie Ray Vaughan is the greatest ever. I've never seen anybody play the guitar like him. Not only could he do things that nobody else could he did it effortlessly. Most people regard Hendrix as the greatest, well there is something to be said about a man that can take the "greatest guitar player of all time" songs and play everyone better than he did. And I don't think there will ever be anybody that comes along from here on out that could come close to touching him, In my opinion.
