THIS BLEW ME AWAY!!! | Stevie Ray Vaughan - "Voodoo Child" | FIRST TIME REACTION

[@WendellBurkhart-g9v]

Little fun fact about SRV and the pedal he's using . He went to Jimmy Hendrix Father and asked him if he could use his pedal to do his song with and Jimmy's father gave it to Stevie to keep.

[@wallymcguire2033]

That's incredible

[@leegoldsmith8395]

I never heard that , cool

[@jamesbernsen3516]

I'm not sure that's the way it happened. The version I've always heard, which is in his biography, an a couple of interviews, is that Jimi Hendrix gave one of his old pedals to a young Jimi Vaughan, who later gave it to his brother.

[@lizardkingof1968]

Double Trouble is probably the most under rated 3 piece band ever.... and later added Reese Wynans on keyboards...pure fire👊🔥

[@DwarfsRBest]

Seconding this. They are incredible. If it ever seems like they might have not shined so brightly, it's only because they stood next to the sun.

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

And Reese is still going strong with Joe Bonamassa. Just saw him last month. Incredible.

[@SGTJDerek]

No doubt but Chris' 2 are right behind them. No disrespect to Dusty and Frank but it's a different animal playing behind sombody like Stevie and Chris.

[@blakerbnsn]

If you like Double Trouble, you need to check out the ARC Angels. You might recognize a few of the members and the music is incredible!

[@rottenrobbie66]

Am a purist , I like the original SRV & double trouble 3 piece power trio.

[@OldJoe212]

You are the only one I've seen that realizes how great the drummer is.

[@JohnCollins-lw5hu]

Absoulutly,Chris is a badass.Tommy islayin down some sick bass as well.This is the best preformence of voodoo child they ever did.No other gig sounds this good. 1985 "Live at Austin City Limits is the name of the gig. I think Stevie breaks a string during "Look at little sister" as well.

[@gelynch52phPH]

There's a channel called MMBxMOB that also appreciates the drummer...just sayin'.

[@suhey34]

Chris "Whipper" Layton is a very underrated drummer, glad to see you show him some love. Great reaction as always!!!!

[@blytheguy7510]

I mean, that rhythm section has to be damn good just to play with Stevie.

[@csi2448]

​@@blytheguy7510DAMN good! And to think, Stevie said you know what, let's make it even better and add Reese Wynans!

[@gsparkman]

Mitch Mitchell was such an integral part of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, it’s great to hear another fantastic drummer able to do justice to Stevie’s tributes to Jimi.

[@UglyDoug304]

I agree. Layton was the best I’ve ever heard incorporating the Texas Shuffle beat into heavy blues. It fit perfectly. Not to mention the pure talent it took to play with Stevie’s 50 different ways to play every song live!Chris and Tommy are both phenomenal musicians ❤⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@craenor]

Can you imagine trying to play an hour long set with Stevie? You have no set list. You have no idea what songs Stevie might choose to play. You have no idea in what unique ways he's going to play every single song on the setlist. You have no idea when he's going to suddenly drop dynamically. You have no idea when he's going to drastically change the tempo. All you can do is watch Stevie for the cues to the changes and play to the absolute edge of your extensive talent, skills, and experience.

[@sjd5750]

I always get goosebumps with the line, "If I don't see you in this world..See ya in the next one..Don't be late" considering the two guys who made this song famous both met their ends way too prematurely.

[@SRG1966]

So many reactions to this song but almost none of them ever pick up on that line. It always gets me too.

[@ag3478]

My mom had a friend who was a bouncer at a place in Austin TX back in the day and told me Stevie Ray after a performance and the place closed would sit at the edge of the stage playing his guitar with a beer to his side and cigarette in his mouth. Said he played venues often before his fame and would leave him in awe with his talent and mentioned he was an all around down to earth guy.

[@kevinsiegel]

The best way to describe SRV's playing was stated by no less than Eric Clapton: "Whenever Stevie put on a guitar, he opened up a direct channel to God.". Perfectly stated.

[@srv2217]

Tommy Shannon was also a PHENOMENAL bass player and when they added Reese Wynans on keys it took their sound up a notch to say the least.

[@fredkrissman6527]

An excellent cover of JimiHendrix's incomparable VoodooChile; thanx very much for this lovely reaction Aileen! The Hendrix estate is notorious for its overzealous policing of reactions here on YT, but I hope you'll have a chance to explore Jimi's oeuvre. I just rewatched the film of Jimi's performance at the original Woodstock festival ('69), and it reminded me of when I saw him at the LAForum in '68, when I was a mere 13 yrs young. That concert changed my life!

[@terrylandess6072]

Yes - Reaction not required - but checking the source material is always welcome.

[@csi2448]

Janie really is something else. I got hit by the estate many years ago for a soundcheck of Steve playing Little Wing (his last known performance of the song in 1989). A damn soundcheck!!!

[@EarlRice-g2u]

I was in Alpine Valley Wisc.August 26 ,1990 for Stevie Ray Vaughn's last show(Lineup: Local band, Robert Cray ,Stevie Ray Vaughn ,Headliner Eric Clapton .) After Eric Clapton finished an amazing two hour set the encore "Sweet Home Chicago" featured Eric Clapton Stevie Ray Vaughn ,Robert Cray ,Buddy Guy, Stevies' brother Jimmie Vaughn and Hubert Sumlin . My girlfriend and me cried all the way back to Ohio the next day after hearing the sad news . I am very grateful I was able to see him live at four separate venues including the first time in Dallas , Texas 1979 !

[@Tbirdhaynes]

If only we could go back in time. I would try strongly to convince him to not get on that helicopter. Small conciliation but at least that imbecilic jackass pilot died too.

[@artsilva]

SRV was one of a kind. So glad you picked up on his greatness and his band. Together they were a force to be reckoned with. He definitely customized his own sound with the guitar setup he created. Gone way too soon. Awesome reaction Aileen, you're the best. btw, watching your birthday chat stream as I write this and congrats on your race win just a few minutes ago, hehe. Even though I am not a twitch user or a gamer, your streams are so fun and your interactions just might make me join 😊 Have a great day and happy belated birthday to you you fellow late august baby.

[@geneaikenii1092]

Beautiful. SRV was the man. Very nice, Aileen. Love ya and this channel. Thank you. Shoutout from this old, longhaired, hippy dude. I remember when we lost him. What a tragedy that the world will never get to know what his music could have evolved into. R.I.P. Stevie Ray Vaughan. Peace.

[@sylviapotter6328]

Stevie Ray Vaughan was beyond amazing he was the true G-O-A-T, he had talent that we will never see again in our life time. Stevie started playing guitar at the age of 7 when his brother Jimmie Vaughan who is 3 yrs older then Stevie got an electric guitar that Stevie fell in love with and would play it whenever Jimmie left the house. On Stevie's 7th birthday he got a toy guitar and on that TOY GUITAR he learned to play Wine Wine Wine and Thunderbird by The Night Caps. Stevie joined a band when he was 10 yrs old called Krackerjack along with basses for Double Trouble Tommy Shannon, their first gig was at a roller rink so Jimmie gave Stevie his electric guitar, Stevie had that guitar and used it occasionally until his death. Jimmie is a great guitarist In his own right, he had a band called The Fabulous Thunderbirds and still plays today. Stevie started a band in 1977 called The Triple Threat Reuve, he had a female singer named Lou Ann Barton, Chris Layton the drummer for Double Trouble joined The Triple Threat Reuve on September 10,1978 and was with Stevie until his death. On November 24,1979 Lou Ann Barton left Triple Threat Reuve with and Stevie replaced her on vocals, in 1980 Stevie Ray changed the name to Double Trouble, Tommy Shannon joined Double Trouble on June 23,1981 and Reese Wynans joined Double Trouble on June 7,1985 on keys. Stevie Ray's career only span 7 yrs but he accomplished so much and got many awards, starting with his album Texas Flood that was released June 13,1983 that album put him on the map and Stevie became a big Blues artists that every old and newer Blues artist loved and respected on December 13, 1983 Austin City Limits video, this video you're watching was voted Guitar Player Magazine's Best New Talent, Best Electric Blues Guitar Player and Best Guitar Album with Texas Flood, Stevie Ray and Jeff Beck are the only 2 Triple Award Guitarist in history. On November 18,1984 Stevie won a W.C.Handy National Blues Award, Entertainer Of The Year and Instermental Of The Year, Stevie was the only white man to win either. In 1982 Stevie was the first musician to be inducted into The Austin Music Hall Of Fame, in 2000 Stevie was inducted into The Blues Hall Of Fame and in 2015 he was inducted into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Stevie won 6 Grammys, 10 Austin Music Awards, 5 W.C.Handy Awards and many others but sadly Stevie never got to enjoy a #1 hit until 2 months after his death with a song called Crossfire. On August 26, 1990 Stevie Ray flew to East Troy Wisconsin to open 2 shows for Eric Clapton along with Robert Clay, Buddy Guy and his brother Jimmie Vaughan, Stevie came down from his hotel room and told Jimmie and the band he had a weird dream that he died, he was looking down at all these people crying, he said it was weird but he felt at peace. On August 27,1990 after Eric Clapton finish his last show Stevie Ray, Buddy Guy, Robert Clay and Stevie's brother Jimmie came on stage and the last song Stevie Ray ever performed was Sweet Home Chicago by Robert Johnson. On August 27,1990 Stevie boarded a helicopter that crashed into the side of a mountain right after takeoff and everyone on board were killed instantly. The pilot had just failed his test on using the gages for that helicopter, he never flew that helicopter and he never flew at night. You're right on point when you say he is sadly missed every day, this show was recorded only 10 months before his death and it breaks my heart sometimes watching his videos but happy to enjoy watching him at the same time. Great reaction.

Oktaf Kanis - Come On, for the next reaction, thank you Aileen 🙏🏻

[@michaelheller8841]

The great thing about SRV is that he didn't use a lot of stompboxes or pedals. He has his Vox wah wah, Tube screamer and not many other effects some of the older Electro-Harmonix effects. His main tones came right out of his Fender Strat and Dumble Amps. Very expensive gear to buy and sound like him but at the time Dumble Amps didn't sell for over $75k and Strats were not that crazy expensive as today. The key to SRV is his hands and incredible talent. Cool reactions from you and I like that you pointed out the drums and the bass, Double Trouble was fantastic.

[@marvinsarracino116]

Great reaction to great music! I'm so happy you listened and enjoyed SRV! I like the way you Groove it makes me groove and enjoy the vibe too! 😊 A SRV song with more vocals is crossfire. Thanks again, Luv ya Aileen ❤💛

[@GenXTex]

This entire show is amazing. I personally love Couldn’t Stand the Weather. Groovy. You can’t stop yourself from dancing, wiggling, moving however.

Tommy Shannon, his bass player, said that as good as Stevie was at playin' he even more beautiful as human being. Everybody liked Stevie and Most Loved him. ❤‍🔥 profound loss.

[@eddunn4121]

You’re on point about this sounding like more than a trio-SRV was so fluid moving between rhythm and lead that it felt like there were two players; and Double Trouble were exceptional. It reminds me how John Lennon referred to his favorite band the Everly Brothers as “the five Everly Brothers” even though there were just two of them. Their harmonies just seemed so rich that it couldn’t be just two people.

[@MsRmaclaren]

For years, while I was a musician in the Bay Area gigging all over the place, I tried and tried to play as well as SRV. It never happened. I became a bassist which gave me lots more work than I ever though possible. SRV and Jimi are what kept me in bands. Love SRV.

[@docmason9677]

Stevie Ray was so cool, the way he dressed, his hat, cowboy boots, Southwest Indian style shirt or gypsy, jewelry and top all that off with him being a Guitar God, GOAT. No one to this day can out play him. He even surpassed Hendrix on Voodoo 'Chile'.

[@the-wordplay-dojo]

I'm 51yrs old. I just entered the workforce when SRV died. The reason I can be specific, is that I worked for a few weeks, fresh out of high school, in a music chain that's long since gone defunct; Our Price, in Scotland. My first day, SRV was played back to back. I'd never heard of him before this. He blew my mind. I became an instant fan. The reason he was being played, was that he'd just died. RIP. As a self taught guitar player, I can appreciate the craft, even when I can't get close to it. SRV plays with HEAVY gauge strings. His style is very attack focussed. I saw an interview with Flea from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, saying that "punk" isn't a style of music, it's a state of playing. It's when you attack each note as if it's your last. SRV, by this definition, is punk AF.

[@jimgates7293]

As a Bass player myself I love it when you mention & appreciate the Bass players ❤

[@PaulThoresen]

Now you are talking! Such an awesome song, and such an awesome version. Enjoy!

[@csi2448]

It's never usually reacted to, but I'd rather she did the Nashville 1987 performance, which was a little less than a year after Stevie almost died and then finally got sober. Stevie's speech about drugs and alcohol is must watch/react!

[@pascalkorn-newe5734]

​@@csi2448the whole show in Nashville was awesome, especially the version of voodoo child at the end always makes me laugh 😃

[@MRBrien77]

Stevie and his brother Jimmie doing pipeline IS A MUST

[@davidaquarius9089]

I always shy away from 'the best' or 'the greatest' labels on artists. Each performer has their own magic, their own soul they imbue into their gift. Stevie is one of the greatest guitar players ever to have graced our sad universe. He brought his talent into our lives for just a short time, too short but we are grateful for what he gave us. I listened to Jimi Hendrix long before I heard of Stevie and thought that there could never be anyone good enough to stand next to him. But as I became familiar with Stevie's gift, I realized that the spirit of Jimi Hendrix smiled on Stevie from the beginning. Imagine right now, in Rock and Roll Heaven, Jimi and Stevie jamming together for the angels. Lucky goddamn angels! Wonderful reaction, Aileen. I am enjoying your venture into the world of Stevie Ray Vaughn. As you travel into his music, you will lose your mind but nourish your soul. Blessings!

[@michaelbriefs9764]

With the drums, yes, he was much more aggressive on this song. But what I liked in particular was how "tribal" the drums got, in that section that came after the mid-point of the song. He was breaking it down by moving from a straight-ride pattern to playing more of the Tom-Toms, along with Stevie's scratchy guitarwork. They all got into a more primal or tribal treatment of the song, at that point and it was freaking killer!

[@csi2448]

You can really tell Stevie and company were fully in tune with life and subsequently the music! People usually go for the early, drug and booze fueled days. But for me, 1989 and especially his last year on this earth, 1990, were Stevie's best years. His playing, his singing, his songwriting, all of it, were at their all time best!!!

[@unholydriver4987]

Aileen, if want to experience an emotional ride with SRV, I suggest you check out "Life Without You" - live at the Capitol Theater. What a sweet song, with a wonderful spoken message during the performance. Also, you get to hear a softer, more sensuous side to his vocals....I think you'll love it.

[@csi2448]

I think she needs to do the Nashville 1987 performance. Him talking about almost dying because of drugs and alcohol will be an eye opener. The ability to open up like that in front of thousands is something that will get to ya!

[@manicmonday-3833]

'Come On' from Oktaf Kanis, for your next reaction Aileen 💕

[@flownif]

Great reaction again! So amazing to see also is that his right hand is constantly adjusting the volume and tone knobs, especially after the first solo which sounds a bit “sharp”. You can actually hear that the guitar tone is much smoother after his adjustments. So besides playing a very fast song, he’s constantly thinking if he’s producing the best sound. Stevie truly was one of the greats….

[@rkr7372]

Clapton said he was driving when he heard the man for the first time he had to pullover and knew he needed to find out who he was.

[@ccrowe256]

I love your reactions to Stevie Ray Vaughan. I find it interesting that you mentioned it sounded like the guitar was singing in paragraphs, because BB King said that when he played, he played in sentences, but when Stevie played, he played in paragraphs. The music just seemed to pour out of him. Eric Clapton, and others said that it was like he was an open channel that the music just flowed through. I will continue to watch for more SRV reactions from you. A couple of suggestions are “ain’t gonna give up on love“ from the Daytona Beach concert and also “tin Pan Alley“ with Johnny Copeland. You will definitely get more of his vocals with those two songs. Stevie Ray Vaughan was a once in a generation talent, and there are those who will imitate him, but no one can truly even come close to his musical genius.

[@marshallgraphic]

I got to see Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble back in the late 80s. It was an incredible show! After the show, I and the other people I was with went to the back of the venue where the tour buses were at. We saw Stevie exit the building and got his autograph on our tickets. He was exhausted (no surprise because he performed with high energy) and went to the tour bus. A little later Tommy Shannon, his bassist, exited the building and we called for his attention. He was so cool! Nobody else was hanging around besides us so he stayed and we all talked about music for like 30 minutes with him and had a great time. It was one of the most memorable experiences I've ever had!

You should know, Stevie and the entire Double Trouble band were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015, including Chris Layton (drums), Tommy Shannon (bass) and Reese Wynans (keyboards).

[@minigirl6839]

So happy that you love Stevie Ray as much as we do. He's a straight up demi god here in Texas, and we've even got a statue of him in Austin. If you're ever in Texas, you should check out his statue and then go to Antones, where he frequently played, and listen to some good music. Stevie Ray actually used to sleep on the pool tables after closing time on occasion. Just Search everything Stevie Ray on KZbin and watch it. It's all good, and you can't go wrong with anything he ever did. He has multiple performances of the same songs, and each one is uniquely different. Here's a short list: 1. Look at Little Sister. 2 versions. 1 is with Jeff Healey-WOW!!!!! Watch both versions though. 2. Pride andJoy 3. Life WithoutYou 4. Life By the Drop. 5. Voodoo Child- at least 4 versions out there. Every one is incredible. 6. Lenny- This is pretty much an instrumental that he wrote in tribute to his wife/ex wife, Lenora, who he called Lenny. 7.Soundcheck- Yep. There's actually a video, albeit low quality, where he's doing a should check. He's just waking up, walks out onto the stage in a Cheetah duster, that he's wearing over his pajamas, has on a big cowboy hat and snake skin cowboy boots. He picks up his guitar, and you see the shit get real pretty quickly. As I stated, it's really old and poor quality, but definitely worth a watch. There are many, many more Stevie Ray songs to listen to, as I can't list them all here. Just watch anything and everything Stevie Ray. You will not be disappointed. 👌🤠🥳🎸💯💣💥

It's one of my favorites and I'm gonna go ahead and say it again, If you wanna hear a softer dreamier side that as you said doesn't even need "human" vocals, you've gotta do "Riviera Paradise!!!" Make sure it's the live version from 1989!

You might remember seeing my name from the messages I've sent from my other phone. It's Joel Martin. But like I said, I've yet to figure this one out yet but I have faith 👍 Much Love 💕 to You Babe❤️🙋Play my songs!! You won't regret it!!!🤗

The only Man that could play Hendrix and make it sound better. Saw him 2 months before he died in a Helicopter crash. RIP SRV

Another awesome reaction as always. One thing about SRV I can always appreciate (the Grateful Dead did this too), but he wanted each of his performances to be slightly different than the next. I wasn't fortunate enough to catch him live before his passing, but I've heard from my friends and family members who did attend were blown away if they attended multiple performances by how versatile he was. Here's some of my personal SRV faves with a mix of vocals and guitar work: -Pride and Joy -Little Wing (Originally by Jimi Hendrix) -Empty Arms -Life By The Drop -Riviera Paradise -Tin Pan Alley -Tell Me There's a lot he's done, and I can't wait to see more!

I live in Downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It's a 40 minute drive to Alpine Valley where Stevie had his last performance and tragic untimely death. People gather there every year on the anniversary of this terrible tragedy to pay tribute and homage to this brilliant musician and extraordinary guitarist!

Have you reacted to any Jimi Hendrix? I didn't see any on the channel. Jimi's woodstock performance of the Star Spangled Banner is an amazing piece of music history. Other great places to start would be Foxey Lady, The Wind Cries Mary, Purple Haze, Fire, or check out how Jimi covered Bob Dylan's All Along The Watchtower. On that last one Dylan said that was Jimi's song now after hearing it played his way. Another couple personal favorites is also Jimi's Burning Of The Midnight Lamp, Hey Joe, Machine Gun, Little Wing, and Red House.

'Leave My Girl Alone' from this same show will give you an even greater appreciation of Stevie. You'll know you've reached the point of no return when Stevie's eyes roll into the back of his head. When you see that, hold the fuck on, cause he goes OFF!!!

SRV plays so hard, it even makes YOU get guitar face just from listening. Unequaled, dark, dirty soul.

[@matthewplowden8610]

The musicianship in Double Trouble was second to none.SRV had opportunities to leave and go elsewhere but never did because he knew the caliber of these guys as well as being his friends.

He spoke a language that spoke to everyone but one that no one else could speak.

[@fredbarnes2600]

The only person to give Jimi serious competition on this song. Ever. Great reaction!

​@user-bobcrosierHe was better then jimmy

[@wanderer85295]

There's no point in comparing the two. They were the 2 greatest ever . Both had that something beyond that cannot truly be compared .

@@wanderer85295idk why everyone reacts to this version when the live in el mocambo and Nashville are both significantly better performances

[@fredbarnes2600]

Um guys? Y'all need to grow up and chill out. I said "competition" as an (unfortunate) figure of speech to imply both artists were operating on such a high level of talent and skill, I feel there's no objective way to say one is better than the other . It's Jimi's song, but Stevie found aspects he could explore to make his own, unique, special, and almost perfect version. They were both humble artists who cared more about their craft, than hoopla that went with it. At the level of their work I simply can't say one is better than the other, just different. And you don't honor either's legacy by arguing about it.

That guitar is sitting in the Music Museum outside Phoenix. The museum is amazing for true music lovers, takes 2 days to get through all the world exhibits.
