He wrote this for his friend Charlie Wirtz who owned a guitar shop in Dallas. Charlie made Stevie the white guitar he switches to in the beginning. Charlie had died suddenly of a heart attack and this was his tribute to him

[@dukeravenshadow5532]

To my knowledge Charlies Guitar Shop is still open, though I think its on Royal Lane now.

[@harrietmiller3982]

This is probably everyone's favorite performance. It has everything. Stevie wrote this song for his good friend Charley Wirz, a Dallas guitar shop owner, who had passed away suddenly. Charley built that white guitar out of parts for him and Stevie named that guitar after him. The sticker on the back is an upside down bare breasted hula girl. So he starts with a brown (or red?) guitar, had to tune a string after a few bars, looked to the side to get a new guitar. They brought out Charley and switched him out while he was still singing and playing never missing a beat. Since he changed guitars, he had to change the settings on his foot pedals and also the amps. You might not have heard anything different at first but those adjustments were necessary for later so he could play with the feedback and "sustain" chords with one hand for a length of time. You are surprised no one asks for the studio versions of anything? I "listen" to him in my car while driving but watching him perform contains so much more magic than a recording can ever impart. He gave his all to his audience and besides you can't see the passion and commitment he gives to each performance or see all his incredible abilities! He didn't start singing until his late teen years and didn't have a lot of confidence with his voice but worked on and developed his voice. I love his voice and how he can match his vocals to match the song. People are so blown away by his talent on the guitar that they dont pay much attention to his voice. Another vocal song from this same venue is another song Stevie wrote called "Ain't Gone 'N' Give Up On Love" kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmOTpmiXhpJ7iMk also "Couldn't Stand The Weather". I know you will love both of these. Great reaction and keep Stevie coming🎸🎶‼️ you have barely scratched the surface and you will really enjoy a continued look. ✌️💙

[@justonemorething9875]

I’m thinking it’s a peacock on the back of his guitar, because he peacocks a lot.

[@wesalker3479]

I believe that Lou Ann (Barton) had to convince Stevie that he was good enough to "front" the band before she left Double Trouble in 1979. . .

[@acemodez3169]

I'm impressed you didn't say he broke a string like most people assume, apparently people who even claim to have been there

[@omniversalll]

It's always my favorite performance of his that people react to. You can just feel that this was one of those rare "golden moments" in live music performance history.

[@harrietmiller3982]

@@wesalker3479 he learned from Lou Ann no doubt. He also asked Angela Strehli to teach him how to sing Texas Flood and learned it so well that Angela gave up singing that song as Stevie just owned it. I think mostly he needed to gain confidence around his voice. I have always admired his vocals.

[@vickihirsch8340]

He was a humble, compassionate human being who cared deeply for people. He was never upitty or arrogant. When he plays with his blues idols he tones down out of deep respect for those who were the originators of the blues.

[@markwambolt2820]

Stevie always had a happy face, but nothing better than when he was sharing the stage with his friends...BB King, Albert King, Buddy Guy, Jeff Healey...Just a PLEASURE to watch Stevie playing with his friends!

[@jimo7593]

That he was. I was honored to meet him months before the crash. He came out after the set, most ppl had left, but he came out, sat on the edge of the stage n shook everyone's hand n chatted them up until the last remaining fan was done. I talked with him for bout 5-10 minutes about playing, etc. He was truly interested in his fans. Still feels like I lost a family member.

[@nelsonx5326]

I see comments by people who never even met him talking about what a nice guy he was. How do they know?

[@Volvandese]

I remember watching an interview with him once where the guy kept going on about how SRV he was an all-time great, and he looked bored and uncomfortable with the subject. Then the interviewer mentioned Hubert Sumlin, and immediately Stevie's eyes lit up with excitement. He always wanted to talk about the greats who inspired him, never about himself.

[@Montey15]

Singing, playing and preaching. That's talent 100%

[@sylviapotter6328]

This message made me cry knowing that Stevie Ray Vaughan had a horrific childhood and started drinking when he was 8 yrs old. His brother Jimmie Vaughan did an interview, he said they had an violent abusive alcoholic father who beat them all the time but Stevie Ray always got it the worst and didn't know why. I thought to myself I know exactly why, my mother popped her pill and beat me, locked me in a cold dark basement with no windows and a dirt floor, beat me with a board that had nails in it and I had 6 sisters and 2 brothers but like Stevie Ray I was the smallest, very emotional and cried easy so it fell on me the most but I never considered myself a victim but a surviver and better person because of it and have a beautiful happy life. Stevie Ray had his issues like many children that experience that kind of childhood but he was never bitter, angry or hateful, he had so much love and respect for everyone and a beautiful man. My total respect and love to him for the amazing music and encouraging words.

[@vomhausmann]

❤❤❤

[@Sisterluck13]

SRV was such a beautiful and talented soul.

[@stuntman1359]

A whole lot of people can play music. A precious few ARE music. SRV was one of those select few. That's why his playing and singing gets to us. He was the genuine article and we all sense it. You speak for a whole lot of people when you say you love that brother. Fantastic reaction.

[@tdig6546]

The day Stevie died me and my excellent guitar player husband cried our eyes out, for days... A great fact is that Stevie overcame alcohol and reached the height of his career sober. There is a statue of him in the park by the river in Austin Texas, and on the statue they even included his AA ring on his right hand. I went there in 2019 and just cried for a while, didn't expect to react like that but the emotion of his statue just blew me away. He was the best.

[@lindanoel1853]

I didn't know his AA ring was on his hand on the statue. Thank you so much...and for sharing how you and your excellent guitar player husband cried your eyes out for days. I understand. . . .

[@moniquesewell2670]

I was on my way to work and had to pull over and have a melt down.

[@deborahhalbert3372]

I always tell the reactors that little speech in the middle is why this man is so loved. Had so much respect for his mentors & everyone who came before him & on top of that shared the lessons & grace sobriety had taught him. Forever missed…

[@axeheke]

Brother you have found out how really special SRV truly was. I'm going to give you his most brilliant masterpiece that can heal your soul whenever your down or need some sort of healing therapy. God gave us Stevie and God took him back after he did this masterpiece he nailed it in the Austin Texas concert, and the piece is called "Riviera Paradise" but you must grab the version from the Austin Texas concert brother, you are about to be amazed 🙌 😉 Thank me later bro, its the most beautiful thing you will ever witness coz while everyone showed off at that time by playing real fast, SRV showed the skillz by playing it slow and soft with such finess and control. You even get a special solo thrown in by is pianist Reece for added free bonus. But see if you can spot Stevie' sweetest quick flurry thrown in there just to let you know he can bring it anytime if he wanted too lol, its so sweet. Can't wait for your reaction to it brother you will luv the brother all over again. Oh and no one really reacts to this piece because he had trouble getting it out just perfectly like his studio version of this tune, but after this you will like this version way more than his studio version but only from this Austin Texas concert ok. Please react to it please please please... thanx mate..

[@wendellburkhart3307]

Finally got someone that knows a little bit about artists . Your absolutely correct . He was a rare breed of a Human Being. He was special .

[@rebeccaarseneaux6474]

This particular guitar, the white one (he called it 'Charlie') is the one built by him by his friend Charlie Wirz, for whom this song was written.

[@willgrady9621]

I loved the feedback solo near the end. Just when it would feedback to a different note he took that and ran. ...Incredible

[@wheelmanstan]

Gotta be the greatest performance I've ever seen. So much happening and he's doing it all..very special talent. He probably had to sing because his playing was just so advanced, and heck his guitar also sings. He and his guitar are a duo.

[@RandyCadorini]

Love your reaction. SRV was something else. Once in a lifetime talent. Whether you like his music or not, nobody could ever deny how deep reaching and honest his music was.

[@josephkriegel3162]

Stevie did a great job singing and it was meaningful and passionate. There is a documentary on Stevie that goes through the history of his rise and ending up leading a band. He loved the blues and always, always respected the black men that brought us the blues. Number One is a 59 Strat, though Stevie thought it was a 57 Strat. The buttons he is pushing is reverb, compression, reverb and distortion to provide that punch you hear.

[@jannaromine5908]

My son insisted that this song be played at the Memorial service for Kathy, his partner, the love of his life, the mother of his son Ash....

[@stangsswang8355]

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!

[@keithjames7843]

I miss SRV so much man He had nothing but love in his heart for everyone The best guitar player ever this man was special and I always think of all the music we missed out on because the lord called him home

[@Kennthpassanisi8139]

He was adjusting the volume treble bass and all that to get the feedback he was looking for in the guitar to get that specific sound that you were listening to that was so famous for him to do back in those days that I don't believe anyone else really could do or understood how to do

[@ValValientThor]

thank u. we loved him too! we so, soooo miss him. but thank God we can look back on him like this n still b able to share the experience with new fans. RIP. God called him back so he can play for God n his angels up close

[@HendersonDavid-m8r]

It's easy to miss so much that is happening in this amazing video. He motions to his stagehands (after fiddling with the tuning) for a guitar change (Charley), drops his pick and picks it up, works on the amplifiers, gives one of the greatest speeches of all time, then losses a tooth. If you can read lips, you see him look to the side and say, "lost a tooth...it's gone"...as you see him looking for it on stage. Great man. Great guitarist. From my hometown of Dallas, Texas! Loved and revered here. RIP Stevie.

[@Prone2Thrill]

SRV we all love him and miss him no doubts! So I have a studio request of sorts (I've never seen this live but it might exist) The Vaughn Brothers (Stevie has an older brother Jimmy who plays guitar as well) Long Way From Home - that song is a speeding ticket in the making!

[@Sometimes-even-lyrical]

"Lovestruck Baby"/"Rude Mood" at Daytona Beach are awesome. Stevie Ray is having such a blast at that concert (as are Tommy, Chris, Reese, and the audience), especially when Stevie is literally dancing as he plays "Lovestruck Baby"! Then, the moment he finishes, he takes off like a rocket doing "Rude Mood" at hyperspeed! When the GOAT delivers so expertly and effortlessly, and delivers with a double portion of joy... whoo hoo! SRV is utterly exhilarating, giving us everything in his soul to deeply satisfy us... and keeps us wanting more... of his singing, his playing, his inspiration, and his true, humble, and loving heart.

[@carlsmoker1167]

Yes a great voice on vocals as well as guitar.

[@starfire6122]

For more SRV'S vocals try ...Ain't Gon Give Up On Love and Change It both live at The Capitol Theatre!!💞✌️

[@frankfunicello550]

I saw him twice live, the second time with Jeff Beck. As much as I respect all the old legends, he was my favorite. He’s the only one that you felt like your soul was being ripped out of your body. So sad that after he got clean and sober, he kept getting better and better. He was taken way too young. I miss what he could have done going forward, but in his short time on earth, he left a legacy that will live forever. He was an amazing human being first, and a phenomenal guitarist second.

[@susant4983]

He changed guitars at 2:49 and was making adjustments on the amps. The white guitar is "Charlie", named for his friend Charlie Wirz who made the guitar for him. Charlie died suddenly and Stevie wrote this song for him. The sticker on the back is a hula girl .His speech is who he was, a humble and kind man whose soul will live on forever through his music.

[@brheinfeldt]

Absotively AMEN!!&!

[@chrisgreise2006]

Right there with you . The hoodie and blanket. Just found out my cousin ended his time here. Cancer. Couldn't take the pain anymore

[@bleedingears5222]

There are a lot of great guitar players but Stevie's guitar was like a part of him.

[@shelbys6572]

He really belts it out from his heart and soul. Very genuine. Also, since I think you have a Green Bay Packers blanket to keep you warm, Hello from Lake Geneva, Wi. Go Pack. 👏🏻

[@brucenicole1902]

One of the greatest guitarists ever and had a huge heart.

[@Darryl_Frost]

The day he died I took the day off work and cried when I listened to this song, thinking of life without SRV.

[@BobStephensLBGSantaFe]

I started seeing SRV back in the day...college days down in Austin, Tx 1978. We used to see him up close and personal at The Continental Club for $1 cover every Friday night. He knocked around other bands in Dallas and Austin until he was 29 years old before he really rose as a front man singer. He really worked hard perfecting his singiing. Just like his playing...to me he's the greatest guitarist there ever was.

[@dianesaienni5466]

Stevie begins talking about South Africa apartheid and the injustice black people faced then takes us to church on how we should treat each other...class act at a time when many others were silent.

[@bradparker9664]

I'm not normally a person into reaction videos, but you turned up on my feed for some reason, and it happened to be a video That's been on my playlist for years. As mentioned by several other commentators, as a guitarist myself I can tell you he's tweaking his amps to improve sustain and feedback. I'm now a subscriber, and I'm going to suggest you check out "Look at Little Sister" from Austin City Limits in I believe 1988 or 1989. He broke his number one E string on that one just as he did here, and his professionalism, and that of his guitar tech, is unbelievable. But this video made me a fan of you, sir. I was an SRV fan before be was killed, and I'll never forget hearing that news flash that he'd been killed. It's great to see him being appreciated by people who weren't around on that awful day. Keep up the great work, my man.

[@MMBxMOB]

Thank you brad! Will do.

[@jimmyrodriguez2181]

Great reaction for my favorite blues guitarist of All time! Btw, he said he broke his tooth! 😂He tuned guitar!😂 you were vibinf and didn't see when he said it.😂

[@DianaMiceli-Billingsley-kj4ln]

I love him too! He was the GOAT!

[@jannaromine5908]

Kathy, age 53, passed on Oct 8, 2021...my son, Reggie, passed away 8 months later, age 53, on June 2, 2022. They needed each other

[@44coma]

Stevie Ray Vaughan was a gift from god......we did not deserve him.....not even for a minute

[@claireburling8547]

The image on back of the guitar is a Hula girl with Lei and grass skirt. The picture seems very 1940's Navy. I love how you have so much love and true appreciation for who he was and his humanitarianism. I don't think I've ever read a bad word about Stevie. Your reaction is spot on. It appears even the band is astonished with what he's doing. Voodoo Chile always seems to take him somewhere. I believe he's channeling Jimi. I wouldn't be surprised, if he's human he's prob a sensitive. GOAT.

[@heydayma10513]

We're all freezing and wrapped up; we should dance more!

[@donwnukoski3137]

The King of the Strings!!

[@barbarascotto3873]

Yes, he switched guitars and you didn't even notice. That's how great he was. And yes, he does sing while playing the guitar behind his back!! Just not in this video. He is in my top 3 favorites as far as vocals go. I am always perplexed when I hear someone say he can't sing. As far as guitar playing goes, the absolute GOAT. No discussion necessary. And one of the finest humans to even walk this earth.

[@ewetoobblowzdogg8410]

I was there that foggy sunday night in Wisconsin. The last song he ever played on stage was Sweet Home Chicago, jamming with his brother, Jimmy Vaughn, Robert Cray, Buddy Guy & Eric Clapton. It didn't suck at all

[@graydonbynum2206]

Great job sir. Great job. I love this song also. And your commentary was right on spot. I'm a fan now. I'm gonna follow your choices of music. I think I can learn a lot. Thank you.

Hendrix did play once with his teeth, a little, I only saw him once in concert, he was opening for someone else that time. It was pretty awesome. First time I ever saw him live.

[@subversivelysurreal3645]

You want a good blues request? SRV at Montreux 1985 : Tin Pan Alley, with guest Johnny Copeland. ❤ you’ll hear him sing, most definitely…he’s very loveable.

[@richardholton7755]

Ok, so Stevie was adding sustain by adding distortion. That’s what he did to the amplifiers. That’s also what he does when he bends over to start the solo

[@kathyyoung9539]

Stevie broke a string and switched it out in less then a minute and never missed a beat. He started with a Red Strat and now has the Yellow and white Strat. His brother Jimmy taught him how to play.

[@nenhumnome4149]

To me, SRV was the most all around overpowered human being ever

[@estherrenee55]

His heart though!

[@gl15col]

SRV live with Johnny Copeland "Tin Pan Alley". My favorite song of his, I feel maybe his best vocals too.

[@bhoyos62]

If want to see him just wailing with the guitar and sing. Watch the the video to the song Texas flood. It will blow your mind!

[@EMJ1986]

Hers's an excellent studio SRV tune "Life By the Drop" (it's acoustic... short and beautiful)

[@amjrpain919]

He actually broke a tooth during this performance!... R.I.P Stevie, we miss you still 💔💯🙏

[@kathyyoung9539]

Itsboth he was playin' with his teeth. He chipped a tooth doin' it. ❤❤❤❤

[@karladamuszak5634]

you are correct sir

[@dagguitar51]

Pretty sure what you are seeing on the back of the guitar is what's called ' buckle rash' where he has worn through the finish, scraping against his usual concho belt. Also looks like it might have been a sun-burst refinished in an Olympic white. R.I.P. SRV, one of the greatest hands down, if not the greatest.

[@melanieredfield9736]

It's a hula girl graphic on the back

[@robynsjewelryideas]

One of my very favorite videos and Songs by SRV. I don't know if you did "pride and joy" 1982 Montreux.

[@ernieferguson5286]

The guitar called the one he has an autograph on the back and you wouldn’t believe who it is Mickey Mantle

[@patmccormick4597]

On his amps he was tweaking the reverb, helps when he plays with one hand up the neck.

[@jaterapi]

Hi buddy greetings from Denmark. The reason why he touched the Amb was he chances guitar you just didnt moticed. He started with “The One” and changed to the white guitar and adjusted it

[@michellebuchanan730]

He didn't think he could sing. His brother Jimmy Vaughan who was in the Fabulous Thunderbirds. Jimmy encouraged him to sing.

[@petem.3719]

Watch "Rise of a Texas Bluesman", a free documentary about SVR, right here on TY. Good insights and interesting interviews about SVR with Double Trouble, Eric Clapton and others.

[@colleenmcclurg2010]

Here's the difference between Stevie and Jimi Hendrix. Hendrixs feedback was wild and screechy, Stevie's was wild and melodic! Loved them both, man! And, you're so right his singing was great too!

[@lookmanohands1966]

I mourn him every time I hear him. Privileged to see him twice. He actually broke his tooth in this performance, slow down the video it can be seen flying. Didn't skip a beat.

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

If you like Roadrunner cartoons, gotta watch Stevie's official Vevo vid for Cold Shot. That vid is hilarious. His gf is pissed because all he does is play. He's on tge couch playing, she grabs his guitar and starts smashing it, he reaches behind the couch and grabs another one. His closet is full of guitars. For her b day, he gets her necklace with a guitar pendant and a guitar b day cake. They're on a roof restaurant and she throws him off the roof. Gotta check it out. Funny stuff.

[@markbrooks8144]

I'm going to guess that playing and singing was just the way Blues was. It's where it came from back in it's early days. The man expressing his emotions through his words and his playing. I think the man singing with his guitar, is Blues in its purest form. But...... I wasn't there. I'm old but not that old. Doesn't matter though, I just love it, however it was arrived at.

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Yep.

[@The_Jasonian]

I have a studio version request: Superstition. React to the official video. And the reason he went to his amps (he played through two) was to turn the gain up to give it more bite when soloing. I assume he had an issue with his overdrive pedal, because he went to his pedal board first

[@joewhipple6259]

Please do ain't gone n give up on love from capital theater

B.B. King used to say that you had to be black twice to play and sing the blues but he never noticed with Stevie!

[@janiceblackburn2361]

Watch this again because you said you didn't see any big changes to make him go to his amps for tuning ... he switched guitars right in the middle of the song and never missed a beat !!! Just watch again the greatest!!!

[@douglasgish4467]

I believe when he was adjusting his amps and other boards in back, he was going for the just the right sound he wanted. In this case he was adjusting the sustain, I think. Several places in the song he plays a note and just let's it the note go for a while. And the notes to me sounded sad, like someone was wailing. After all, it was a song he wrote for Charley, a guy that kept his guitars in tune. I think that decal on back of the white guitar is an attractive woman laying on a couch or sofa of sorts.

[@douglasrobinson7704]

He changed guitars mid song. And he was adjusting the amp to the newer guitar.

[@donforester-dd3pj]

This Man did go to hell n back and he seen what it was like so when he wouldn't sale his Soul they took him out. His physical body was worth the price before Stevie would offend our Creater so much that he knew his time was short and he just wanted to spread love n hope. Stevies spirt stands with God, peace be to him through The Most High! Our Lord of lords n King of kings. God Blessit those who Believe.🙂🙏
