Great react. He’s one of the few artists I would recommend seeing all his live versions before listening to studio versions. His charisma and talent is undeniable.
Ahhhh yeah! Legendary performance. I'm a 50 year old black man. Jimi Hendrix made me first want to learn guitar. But i quit. Later Stevie Ray Vaughan brought me back and made me buy a guitar as a kid. I suck but i still have that guitar. His style was heavily influenced by the blues singer/guitarist Albert King. He has many great performances on youtube. He will forever be one of my favorite guitarists if not my fav.
i have noticed all the truly great guitarists never play to a script the walk on stage and shut the world around them off. Close their eyes and let the music take over its like they are a conduit for whatever the music tells them what to play but it takes a genius like Stevie to instantly play what the music is telling them to play no matter how fast or complicated
It is performances like this that prove what an amazing guitarist and musician Stevie (RIP) was. And it is reactions like this that prove what a great, genuine, heart-felt reactor Sarah is! And we get to experience both of them in the same video! It's a win-win-win scenario!! Keep on keeping on, Sarah!
I got to see him when he was still alive real when he was just coming out he opened for Dire Straights this was back in the late 80s and he blew Dire Str,off the stage and like Jimmy Steve will never be seen again as him Jimmy and the Drummer from Rush must be having one hell of a jam set-ion in heaven for if there in Hell Satins burning right now.
I had the honor of talking with him several times at a small club I worked at in Louisville Ky. truly a great man, short in stature, but tall in talent .. his hands seemed so big and strong for such a small guy. He loved playing, he was constantly jamming with anyone.. several local bands around Louisville would have SRV joining them for a great session.. the man could bend and break those strings.. he played that guitar better behind his back, better than most could play it in front
When God gave talent, he went overboard with this guy 🙂 he was truly one of a kind. Thank you so much, you just made my day 🙏 you are truly the queen of reactions, always pure reactions from the heart..God bless you 🙏
Before I read your comment, I was thinking he was 1/2 of 2 of a kind. The guy he covered here was pretty good too. They were taken too early (for us), but I guess that's what will make Heaven so great. Can you imagine the concerts! LOL!
I was blessed to see SRV live twice and you hit it on the head. People were just mezmerized watching him. After the show you felt the electricity flowing through your body for days! He is sorely missed!
Good God, Girl!! Looked like you really enjoyed that. Of course you did, great reaction. I also am so in love with the way he played guitar. He was the master, one of a kind, a real Voodoo Chile with any guitar he put those magic hands on. It's so incredibly wonderful to see a younger generation appreciate SRV, being that he's been gone over 30yrs. Just like Stevie, I was born in 1954, just a month later. I've never before or after heard anyone play from the soul quite like him. Truly the GOAT, sorely missed all these years, still get choked up thinking about that sad day he left us brokenhearted. Have you tried "Life Without You" and "With gone and give up on Love" ? Both at the Capital Theatre. also, don't miss "Little Wing" from the El Macombo. Love and ☮️ to all.
He began practicing and playing at age 7. Obviously, he was enormously gifted musically and he played and practiced All. The. Time. The blues and the guitar were everything. Plus he lived in the era before computers, before facebook, instagram. tik toc, and all the rest. There were far fewer distractions for someone wanting to dedicate themselves to something they loved. He could play all day and not feel like he was missing out on the day's social media obsession. He never put his guitar down so he could stare at his phone for half an hour 5 times a day.
Thank you for this. One of my favorite reactions to my friend, Stevie Ray. He was as beautiful a human as he was talented. I wish you could have met him. Keep going with his music! “Tin Pan Alley” with Stevie Ray Vaughan, featuring Johnny Copeland, “Lenny” from live at the El Macombo. Thank you so much.
You should check out: Dirty Pool Live at Montreaux 1982; Tin Pan Alley Live at Montreaux 1985 with Johnny Copeland; Riviera Paradise, Mary Had a Little Lamb, Tightrope, Crossfire, Look at Little Sister, Couldn't Stand the Weather all Live at Austin 1989; Love Struck Baby, Ain't Gonna Give Up On Love Live at Daytona Beach 1987; Life Without You Live at Nashville 1987 ( a lot of people recommend the Capitol Theater version of this song, but after getting clean and sober the message in Nashville is closer to his heart).
Just wonderful. Id genuinely love to know Leo Fenders thoughts seeing his creation used like this. Its verging on guitar abuse. Wonderful reaction Sarah , rock on girl 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
Love your reaction! Gotta check out Couldn't stand the weather, Willie the wimp, Texas flood, Cold shot, Life by the drop, The sky is crying. He performed everything the same way, to perfection! Incredible talent!
I just love your reaction. It is great that the younger generation is discovering such great talents and are so surprised. Did you notice that his eyes were closed most of the time? It does leave me speechless every time I watch this particular video.
Stevie is best seen in his live performances, you really should watch his hands, amazing. Try "Texas Flood" Live at El Macombo. He never played a song the same way twice.
Your awesome reaction is my favourite so far! I think the audience was just sitting there in stunned silence in the face of Stevie's briliance! 😁 Fun fact: Stevie was using a wah-wah pedal that used to belong to Jimi Hendrix. He personally asked Jimi's family for permission to cover this song, and Jimi's father gave him the pedal as a gift. Jimi was one of his biggest idols, and it's been said that no one covered Jimi better than Stevie. He wasn't just covering him here, he was channeling him in a way all his own. Here are some more suggestions for you: Texas Flood (Live at the El Mocambo): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KC5H9P4F5Uk.html Tin Pan Alley (with Johnny Copeland): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AGPx-ekqZEo.html Love Struck Baby / Rude Mood: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O4IKddEs5xs.html Riviera Paradise: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3c_8VUL5jks.html Everything he did was awesome; those are just for a start. Stevie Ray is always best experienced live. His studio recordings were great, but his energy really came out on stage. Each live performance was unique because he made a point of never playing any song the same way twice. Thankfully we can now watch many of them on YT and choose our favourites. Sadly he died in a helicopter crash in 1990, but he will live on in his music. I'm so happy you're discovering him and spreading the word to others! Hope you enjoy my suggestions!
Thank you for that, he's the GOAT if you would like a good one check out "LIFE WITHOUT YOU" at the Capital Theater he will blow you away,with what he does, the guitar needed a smoke break after that "SEMPER FI"DEVILDAWG I just joined you great reaction.
The audience was quiet probably because since this was a live TV show, they may have been instructed to keep things low level. A lot of movement would have been too distracting for the TV audience.
perfectly appropriate reaction i think the ACL crowd was just in awe i am and i've probably seen it over a hundred times and i'm still in awe they left it off the dvd ? ! ? ! i was pissed so this is only place we can watch it but the song seems cursed "It i don't see you no more in this world I'll meet you in the next one . . . both jimi and SRV were gone shortly
"Voodoo Chile" not "Child". I saw him play this in 1984 at the Delta Blues Fest in a cotton field in Mississippi. I spoke with him and the band for 15 minutes backstage before they went on, while BO Diddly played. Albert King followed as the final act.
People mention this all the time. Why is the crowd so tame? It's being filmed on Austin City Limits tv program. The crowd is told to stay subdued. They r filming a special. Hope this helps.
Love the channel!! Can I suggest Autumn: Heroine's Theme/Deep Summer's Sleep/The Winter Long by The Strawbs. RIck Wakeman (keyboardist for Yes) came from this band. This one is something to behold and will move you.
Sarah, you were exclaiming about your brain because of this music. This song in this style was originally recorded in 1969, by none other than Jimi Hendrix. To me, and I believe many would agree, SRV does more justice to the song than Hendrix. This style of playing and music was referred to as “psychedelic “ music, as it was introduced during the late 60s at a time when a lot of Psychedelic drugs were being taken, and people would “trip out “ on the music like you just listened to. Yep, SRV is definitely a mind trip. He’s not called the GOAT for nothing.
Guys you could only imagine what these girls are thinking the first time they see Stevie do that shit with his fingers…if you’re not able to be creative enough to understand why they make those faces I feel bad for your ladies
wow...you have some issues mate...get yourself checked out! The irony of you saying you feel sorry for other people's wifes is just too much! Does your wife know what kind of a little disgusting pig you are?
first of all love srv but not to acknowledge where this great song came from is a tragedy.please dont let these gods vanish.they wrote it and played just as good.i m sure hendrix had one of those nights that was not filmed that he would have embarrassed Stevie ray.unlrss you were there who knows.
WHEN Contel-Pro creates a massive infusion of drugs into the Black community; Architects of the Black Consciousness Movement are imprisoned or assassinated; Black Culture becomes synonymous with Drug, Prison, and Gang Culture; Music Arts & access to instruments are largely removed from inner-city schools; The music industry adds the study of jazz and ethno-musicology to college curriculums; Race music evolves only enough to open doors for Black musicians to play bass and drums in rock bands; Country Music is Redlined; Black women musicians are marginalized; AI perpetuates bias in music channel genres; Automated technology shortens the imitation lag; Access to music & dance is on instant replay; A Hit-list in rap music, brings to mind the insurance policies that music companies take out on rap artists; And post-modernism replaces proper attribution. THEN you are entertained by channels of mascots who see culture through a straw... Introduced to artists who reproduce music, born of Black (spirituals, blue grass, county, jazz, blues, stride, reggae, rap, bomba, plena, marange, salsa, bossi nova, etc.) music. Sadly, you are bearing witness to the peripheral dark age of Black American culture.
