First listen to Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood (from Live at the El Mocambo) |REACTION| 

He WAS the guitar, the guitar was a part of him. RIP Master!

I love seeing your face when Stevie Ray puts the guitar behind his back and keeps playing. My favorite part.

SRV is “The Goat”…Nobody, and I mean nobody will ever be better than SRV.

Well, you can clearly see why Stevie Ray is a demi god here in Texas. We even have a statue of him in Austin. Thank you for your reaction, and for appreciating his talent! 🤠🥳💯

Not only is he playing it behind his back, but he is also killing it behind his back

Just found this reaction, as I’m always looking for folks falling in love with my pal’s talent. He was as kind, gentle and humble as he was talented. I hope you’ve checked out much more of his music. Great reaction! Donna G❤️

Hehehe, I sort of expected that reaction ;-)

Flash black in time. Loved it

It never ceases to thrill me when a SRV newbie listens to Stevie Ray for the first time. First, they show surprise....then, a facial show of appreciation for his skill, and then, that big, wide, toothy grin of amazement....I think that's my favorite part. And after that, comes the freeked out look of absolute stupifaction when Stevie Ray throws his Strat around to his back and just fucking wails. Absolute bliss.

I love Stevie. Thanks for watching and reacting.

If you don’t like the blues...you don’t have a soul! The man is the Greatest of the Greats. Including Jimi Hendricks.

"Life Without You" live at Capitol theater is my favorite performance by SRV. Written after his friend passed. Subbed

No way....... No frickin way...... Yeah that's what we all said LoL 🤭 We Are Legion ✌️♥️ Anyone want to tell him the unusual way Hendricks played his guitar ? 😲😁

BB King is quoted saying, “I play the blues in sentences. Stevie Ray Vaughn plays in paragraphs.....” I saw him in concert a few months before he died. That group that he jammed with after the concert that night, all said that Stevie Ray was more than amazing while they were just playing for themselves.They all were in awe of him that night, then he got on the helicopter.......😞

Without the blues rock and roll doenot exist

Dude, Stevie is not just playing blues it is an amalgamation of several genres of music, plus his voice. Please keep that in mind.

Playing behind his back and singing without missing a note on the guitar.....a once in a lifetime talent, taken from us way too soon. SRV had a "feel" for the blues like no other and his technical skill on the guitar was unmatched. Nobody like him before or since he passed.

SRV made guitar playing look effortless, he was in my opinion the G.O.A.T.. If you watch Voodoo Chile he makes that guitar cry and beg for mercy. His career was so short but the great part of the Internet there are many, many people who are discovering his greatness and appreciate what a GOAT he was, Great reaction.

Stevie was nicknamed The Master of the Stratocaster for a reason. To see the full swing of this man you need to see any live show of his cover of Voodoo child and then Lenny. I believe Life without You at the capital theater has the most unbelievable guitar swap ever. His guitar tech was awesome. Also Stevie with Albert King - blues at sunrise. Student and Mentor swapping back and forth, too cool

Blues is the root of rock and roll, many famous rock songs are based on old blues tunes, Stevie was one of the very best blues men ever to pick up a guitar

Welcome to the church of the dirty south ,Brother Stevie Ray is about to give your soul a baptism and take you to the absolute pinnacle of guitar.

so very saddened STILL to this day by his passing yet so very grateful to have walked the earth in the time of Stevie Ray Vaughan. This performance ranks as one of the all time best live recordings ever.

I love the way he steps forward to the microphone, then decides to play a little longer…he’s music is just too sweet. RIP beloved Stevie Ray Vaughan. I don’t quite understand how anyone can NOT love the blues, but that’s me. ❤️love to everyone!

Your reaction to SRV was priceless.They say his playing is like Rage without the Anger.

You have now been changed, you will never be the same man after seeing and hearing SRV.

That's Pure TEXAS Soul right there... We Miss You Stevie..

I was lucky enough to see SRV four times. First time, I swear, it was almost a religious experience. I actually teared up watching him play.

This is just one of many. Live is the way to get the full impact of SRV!

I’ve watched a thousand reactions to this performance, and yours is probably my favorite. You’ve got a great soul and I truly appreciated seeing every human emotion pass across your face. You’ve got a great ear and understanding of what you’re hearing more deeply than most people. Great job. ❤

He's playing his guitar with one hand at times and behind his back and also Singing !!!! there are other videos where he plays with his teeth too.

Holy shit right? If you don't like the blues after that, you probably don't have a heartbeat. Best blues performance ever in my opinion and many others I'm sure. God I miss his exitance on this planet so much. "Little Wing" live will blow you away. Always reduces me to tears, as do many of his works, I confess. We'll keep you alive forever, Stevie. 😢💙 ☮️ To all.

SRV ~ 🎸🐐 THE goat of all goats That's not sweat. He's oozing cocaine, bourbon and soul. 😅 **Life Without You at Capitol Theater ** **Voodoo Child at Starwood Theater in Nashville**

Hey, Daniel he is playing guitar behind his back!! Lmao Great reaction! That was fun! 🎸🎸🎸

Thanks for letting us know this was unblocked

Saw this man play 3 times (as I live in Dallas, Texas). What can I say...it gets HOT IN TEXAS! Cried the day he died as I was in the hospital waiting for the birth of my first born. RIP.

I have seen about 8 or more of the best ever guitar players in the world live SRV is my favorite one

Yes, the guitar is his second voice! Well said. He moves people in a very deep way

""Mary had a little lamb",Austin,LIVE! You must always WATCH SRV...He had EVERY TRICK IN THE BOOK!!! Also,"LENNY" from El Macombo.JAZZ ON STEROIDS...UNIQUE!!!

"Life without you"LIVE Capitol Center "Voodoo Chile" LIVE in Austin

Happy you enjoyed this so much Daniel! Actually got to see him perform at a small pub-stage in Sweden. And the thing about the "behind back playing" isn't that he does it but HOW he does it 😍❤😍. If you set your mind to it, you'll be able to play guitar behind your back too (maybe not as well though....)

Never have I enjoyed the use of the word " FRICK" as I have during your reaction! Great stuff!

Welcome to SRV. The GOAT

You havent even scratched the surface yet, Stevies got many more great songs with killer solos, this song here is a Hendrix cover as well as VOODOO CHILD and so many more.

KId that was awesome!! Thank you so much! You totally get his genious!!

Stevie used heavy steel gauge strings making his note bending so much more impressive.

Every time that I see this I applaud at the end. Such a great treasure.

They start listening with their head, then end up with a puddle of emotion in their heart.

Rest in peace Stevie you are missed God calls back those who are his greatest angels

He was the greatest ever.

suitable amount of stink face , joy and amazement shown by you ......there is only one SRV ..enjoy

He is the GOAT

Your a very good music commentator. Thank you for that. GREAT JOB.

I was at this show, second table from the front .life changing!

He's a torch bearer for the Jimi Hendrix legacy

I was at Stevie Ray Vaughn's last concert the night his helicopter crashed after the show at Alpine Valley, Wisconsin August 26th 1990. The lineup was Eric Clapton, SRV, Robert Cray and Buddy Guy. I remember leaving the concert and saying to myself that if SRV was ever in my area again I wouldn't miss it. Sadly I will never have that opportunity.

“How the hell?!“ Exactly.☺️

🏝🇬🇺👏🏽🔥 u brought a tear to my eye young buck👏🏽🔥👏🏽🔥🇬🇺🏝

I seen him 4 times when he would finish a show sweat would drip off his gutair

SRV was the king of SWAG before anybody knew what SWAG was! The G.O.A.T!!!!

I still get chills. Glad you do too young guns!

Texas Style ❤saw them many times back in the day..better concerts back then

You are blessed to even, take the time out to feature him..He touches your soul, A God given talent, shared with the world, for a short period on earth..peace love ,much happiness 🙏❤️

Where did this come from... Thought it was blocked....

Wise way beyond your years!

The El Mocambo (in Toronto, Canada) has hosted such greats as the Rolling Stones.

Your watching the best there ever was!!

Great stuff !! Sorely miss, SRV !!

He used to sleep with his guitar when he was a kid.🔥🔥

The El Mocambo, better known as "the El-Mo", is a seedy old bar in Toronto's Chinatown, dating from 1948. It's not a big place, and before recent renovations, it reeked of old smoke, bourbon and sweat. Yet this little "hole" has seen performances by a huge array of great blues and rock musicians. Some stars got their careers rolling there, and many returned to soak in the vibes after they made it big. Once, in 1977, the Rolling Stones played there under a pseudonym, as "The Cockroaches." This surprise visit became notorious because the wife of Canada's Prime Minister was in the audience and started a brief affair with Mick Jagger, triggering a political scandal and a divorce. I've been there numerous times, and heard magical music by legendary musicians for the price of a few beers. The El-Mo is almost a sacred site of pilgrimage. Legend (unverified) has it that before the present building was built in 1910, the previous building was an informal music venue for Toronto's African-Canadians, beginning with American slaves who came up via the Underground Railway to freedom in Canada.

You know who took Stevie's place? Nobody else does either.

RIP Stevie Ray!

Voodoo chili. Right about now, Jimi and Stevie are laughing their asses off -

Daniel, digging yout style, bro,i see you reaction in your face,,,and knowing your christain i wont offend you be saying f--k yeah

And them are 13 gauge strings he is bending like they are 8s.

Now that you have lost your Vaughanginity, find his version of Vodoo Chile live at Austin!

Srv is the MF’n ZUES of the guitar gods....good god....he makes those who don’t play guitar want to, and those who do, he makes them want to quit--staggering genius, who was discovered by John Hammond, who discovered: count Basie, billy holiday, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and a couple others i can’t remember, but Stevie was his last great discovery (John Hammond was a very, very special person);....anyway, so was Stevie, a MONSTER talent/genius/godhead mofo, and , AND an incredible humble, and kind man, he helped MANY people get sober those last, four sober years of his life, non-famous “normal” citizens he’d meet and became friends with as his AA meetings, and famous ppl too, like Bonnie raitt....Stevie was just too good for this karma earth, god bless him....anyway, great reaction

It's probably been said a million times, but here's to a million and one: you have to check out Voodoo Chile ("Voodoo Child") live too. People who know a lot more about music than I do have said he's the only one to have ever done Jimi justice with his covers. Spoiler alert: on the first verse he twangs the guitar to match his vocals so it kind of sounds like they're singing a duet. In some performances it's more pronounced than in others; it's been said that on stage he never played a song exactly the same way twice. I've also heard that the "wah-wah pedal" he used had belonged to Jimi and was given to him by Jimi's family. What an awesome honour that was!

You should also look at Joe Bonamassa not only because of his incredible blue/rock guitar playing but also his approach to the music business. He has not only built his own independent brand on the internet, he has helped many other young musicians get a start and helped restart other established musicians careers.

Stevie once said if I start to think about what I,m playing. I start to lose it. That's the sign of a true musician. Playing straight from the soul

He was better than Hendrix! Had he lived, everyone would know that!

THE SWEAT POURS OUT HIS BODY LIKE THE MUSIC THAT HE PLAYS!

WAY!YA'LL!

It all started with the Blues

B.B. King said " I play in sentences, Stevie plays in paragraphs !"

Ps...you're a blues man now,your expression was priceless whenheput theax behind his back.

Or the sky is crying is good really good

One of his influences was Hendrix. Can't believe you didn't like the blues. He left this world to soon. Gotta play more blues please.

TX LEGEND

He was the gunslinger

You just became a Blues lover.

Congratulations, you are definitely in the SRV stanky face club. He was the best.

Mentioning the "Two Voices" aspect of this song is interesting when you also consider what you said about needing to learn more about the "Blues" genre. One of the "trademarks", if you will, of blues music is referred to as "call and response". The singer sings a phase or "calls" in his "voice" and then the guitar "responds" back to him in its "voice". If you explore blues music, you'll hear a hundred thousand examples of it, it is that ingrained in the style. Hope you take my free lesson and run with it. You won't be disappointed, but you will probably never see a performance like this from anyone else, he is that special. The GOAT, RIP!

Srv is the goat!!!!

GOAT! That is all.

B.B.King called him the greatest guitarist he's ever seen. There's all kinds of videos with them together.

Nice to get to see this one at last 🙂

If you love guitar then you need to dive into the blues, most of the guitar greats come from this genre, it's almost a limitless well of talent to draw from, so many players that can make the guitar sing/cry/weep

He alway's did that. If you worked at it you could do it. BUT be ready to really work at it. STEVIE RAY WORKED AT IT EVERY DAY FOR 7 HOURS 7 DAYS A WEEK 365 DAY'S A YEAR.

GOAT

If you like guitars ,you should check out Jeff Healey .He went blind at 1 year old. He is one of the best guitar player you will ever here.Check out As the years go passing by or See the light.
