STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN REACTION - VOODO CHILD Live from AUSTIN Texas With  

He’s the GOAT for me. RIP Stevie. There hasn’t been another one close to you.

SRV is the GOAT❤ he picked up a toy guitar as a child, didn’t read music. This was in 1989 and in August’90 he was in a helicopter crash and died at the age of 35. Eric Clapton said ‘When people who don’t play heard Stevie they thought hey I’m going to learn too… while people who played guitar after listening to Stevie thought they should throw out their guitar.”

Stevie is a unicorn. He plays like he's one with the guitar! No one guitarist can ever be number one because it's personal taste. SRV is one of the goats!

Fun Fact: In 1969, Vaughan's group opened for The Jimi Hendrix Experience in Fort Worth, Texas. It was at this show that Vaughan lent Jimi Hendrix his Vox Wah-wah pedal which Hendrix ended up breaking. In return, Hendrix gave Vaughan his own touring Wah-wah pedal.

He's the Goat brudda, I saw him once in Austin Texas, and twice o on south Padre Island Texas thanks for your reaction much respect 🙏

SRV is numero uno! The GOAT of GOATS!

The significant difference between SRV and the other great guitarists you mentioned is that they were rock guitarists, whereas, SRV was a blues guitarist first. Admittedly, some songs (like this one) are blues/rock fusion.

Watch the whole ACL video and the Live at the El Mocambo video. You'll be glad you did. GOAT!!!

Texas Flood at El Mocambo.

Was lucky enough to see him half dozen times. Last time he was with Jeff Beck at MSG. effin helicopter took him 8 months later. RIP

Watch ,Life without You,Texas flood,and after You played them I will send You more.

Stevie is my favorite guitarist to watch/listen to but, I think that Roy Clark may be the best "player" I've ever seen . . . . . Try "Twelfth Street Rag". Lot's of people are gonna tell you to watch "Malaguena" but, for me, it's "Twelfth Street Rag". . . . .

I was lucky enough to see him open up for Robert Plant in 88 in Toronto and he literally seduced me with his guitar and then he sang...smooth as butter. Little sister with Jeff Healey is a must my friend. Before he recorded this he asked Jimi Hendrix parents for permission out of respect and they were delighted and gave SRV Jimi's foot pedal. Great reaction and Peace out ✌️ ☮️ 🙏

SRV. 1987. Nashville. Voodoo Child.

Waylon Jennnings was my top male country western artist of 70s.

"Is he better than Slash?"😮 😅😅😅

No one can touch srv #1 bit this song doesn't exactly display his level of professionalism

Mary Had a Little Lamb

According to the rolling stone top 100 gutairests he ranked like 14th which is absurd he's definitely a top 5 all time player to me he's 3rd after jimi,and Eddie,the him,page,

El Numero UNO! Number 1#

Check out dirty pool live, willy the wimp live, anything srv live. You wont be disappointed.

#1:)

This was recorded in 1989, what a legendary blues guitarist and singer Stevie Ray Vaughan was, this rendition of Voodoo Child is amazing. It's so sad to think that SRV tragically died in a helicopter crash in August 1990, at the age of 35. We are very lucky to have live videos on yt of his various performances including the wonderful Texas Flood (Live at the El Mocambo) 1983, so we can continue to enjoy this man's incredible legacy. Really enjoyed your reaction, Anthony and Black Pegasus. 👍😊

SRV is the greatest. I saw him 5 times. Was lucky to get to meet him backstage where he signed my ticket “SRV” and still have it hanging on my wall. He died August 27, 1990 in a helicopter crash. I was driving home from my first day in 2nd year law school. Listening to the radio, I heard it was confirmed he was killed. I pulled over immediately and started crying. I was destroyed. He has always been my favorite.

Stevie Ray Vaughn - Texas Flood live at the El Mocambo

Stevie plays his guitar behind his back as fluidly as he plays it in front! It's quite a spectacular feat and can be seen in the "Texas Flood (Live at the El Mocambo) video. Link is here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KC5H9P4F5Uk.htmlsi=dVXe7JjqbcCTlU4F

It's really impossible to say who was the greatest of all time. It really all comes down to personal preference. Now you can't deny innovators like Jimi Hendrix Eddie Van Halen, Les Paul, BB King and so many more that just completely changed guitar play. To me Stevie Ray Vaughan was the best at what he did. Texas Blues was his thing. To have respect from somebody like Albert King that hated everybody, Says-A-Lot. He's by far my favorite guitarists cuz he's stuck to his roots and he stayed with it the whole time he was alive.

That was great, but please react to Texas Flood (Live at the El Mocambo) 1983... mic drop! :)

top1 guitarist

Life without you live at the Warner theatre in NJ a fantastic song you will love it

His song couldn't stand the weather on live from Austin is incredible. When he gets to the solo he's channeling so hard it looks like it hurts.

I'd say, Texas Flood (Live at the El Mocambo). Then you need to check out Roy Clark. I haven't found the recording of him playing guitar with his feet. Maybe someone else can help out.

I saw him a number of times in Austin. Once, at an outdoor venue, it started raining. Not only was Stevie there with his band, Double Trouble, but his brother Jimmy was there with his band The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Anyway, they had to stop playing because of the rain. Everyone stood there for 45 minutes, until it cleared enough for the bands to start playing again. I didn't see anyone leave.

“Tightrope“ from this same performance is a must watch

The best guitarist ever

I was at Alpine Valley for his last concert. He was on fire and blew clapton off the stage

"LIFE WITHOUT YOU" LIVE !! At the Capitol Theatre.

Hes #1

Stevie is top on my list. The wah wah pedal was gifted to him by Hendrix family. "Tin Pan Alley" with Johnny Copeland is a must. RIP SRV❤

People say differently, but I've been listening to him for decades (so I know), he is--absolutely--free flowing. He never, unless he was playing with another band other than his own or when recording, played a song the same way twice. This also makes some of his performances way better than others.

Get both his otherworldly guitar and some absolutely incredible vocals with SRV's original "Ain't Gone 'n' Give Up On Love." Stunning! 🤩

Watch him play Texas Flood live at El Mocombo.

Jimmy, Clapton, BB king, Muddy waters… SRV is my favorite.

Life without you, at capital theatre. Totally awesome

goat. Save "Texas Flood" at the El Macambo until you've got some SRV under your belt. RIP SRV.

Stevie always gonna be an enigma cause many more mainstream artists couldn't cater a show so specifically highlighting what ever they want this is a Stevie Ray Vaughan show and everybody there is on board with that

That guy looks like he could be B. Pegasus's brother, for real.

Texas Flood live at the macambo

No one speaks to my heart and soul like SRV does. He is definitely my all time favorite ❤. And I agree w checking out Texas Flood live from the El Macombo or Ain’t Gone And Give Up On Love live from the Capitol Theater.

'Texas Flood' live at the El Macambo should be next. It should have been first, total mind blowing performance.

The doppler effect thing he does twice at the beginning of the song, is done by bending the note he is playing and slowly bring it back to the original note while rocking a whammy pedal back and forth.

everyone raves about stevie, and rightfully so, but double trouble , chris on drums, tommy on bass, those two are no slouches either, i consider them, at what they are doing, are every bit as good as stevie doing what he does, which is why they ARE double trouble, give it up for them too,,,,,,,,,,just sayin. the whammy bar is not a noise gate, it stretches the strings, stevie has a whammy bar from a left handed guitar mounted on his right handed guitar because where the bar is,, its where the pressure to stretch the strings is applied to the lower strings, instead of pressure beginning on the high strings side, more than likely because of how hard he plays, he goes through strings like a chain smoker, he uses a lower tuning a half step i believe, so he can stretch the hell out of the strings easier, better, faster, and further, and he uses heavier strings, cant remember the gauges off hand, but there again, cause he plays hard, breaks a lot of strings, and a fatter sound,, the man was just a natural beast..........

It's subjective who was the best guitarist depending on what style of music you're into but I certainly have not heard anyone who I vibe with more than Stevie Ray.

He’s #1 for me! 💯

Gotta check out Lenny (live @ the El Mocambo), Little Wing (also @ the El Mocambo) or Life Without You (live @ the Capitol Theatre). I've been watching reaction videos of every genre for maybe 5 years now, and SRV is always my favorite rabbit hole people go down. He never plays the same thing twice.. the dude was as intertwined with his instrument as it gets.

This is my personal opinion. Stevie was the best guitarist EVER.

left out ending?????????? ♥ †

No one better.

#1 with me!

From an old-school guy, 65, who played in teenage bands in the '70's - In terms of lead guitarists, it's great to think of them the same as thinking of who's the best among rappers. Rather than who's THE best, it's more like, 'who's the best at doing what' type of deal. Otherwise it's into subjective apples and oranges. Kind of like Jordan vs Bird vs The Professor. Jose Feliciano does things on guitar that most rock guys don't/can't do. SRV's the best at what he does. Johnny Winter is too. EVH is too. Robin Trower and Roy Clark and...are too...

Top 5 is a hard list but if you forced me it would probably be something like this 1. Jimi Hendrix 2. Stevie Ray 3. Steve Vai 4. Eric Clapton 5. maybe Dave Mustaine

The bass player is Tommy Shannon who played with Johnny Winter, the drummer is Chris Layton.

I think it’s a wah pedal The Sammy is the bar attached the the saddle if the guitar. You should put P in front of Ozzy Revelations (Mother Earth) off the Randy Rhodes (one of the great guitarist) tribute

SRV, Gilmore, Clapton, Page, Van Halen, Frampton, Hendrix...my brain just exploded trying to make the list of top classic rock guitarists.... so many more!

I think the majority would put Jimi at #1 simply because he was so innovative; ahead of his time. Like the Beatles. But it's entirely subjective; I think David Gilmour is not high enough on most lists. When you talk about the top 20 or so you can make a cogent argument for each and every one. Definitely check out Texas Flood live at the El Mocambo. It shows both his guitar and vocal skills even more than this one.

I believe that David Allen Coe asked in a song, "Son, can you bend them guitar strings?" Stevie said, "Yes I can, hold my beer!"

Stevie was #1 try listening to Texas Flood, Flooding down in Texas

Who is the GOAT guitar player - well for me it depends on when I was listening. There was a time in my life when I felt Eric Clapton was the greatest. At another time it was Jimi Hendrix, then B.B. King and so on. Right now I have settled into just listening to many different genres and trying to grasp the different skill sets that are out there. Billy Strings is extraordinary, as is Trey Henley. But I will always fall back on my old favorites like Alex Lifeson and Jimmy Page and maybe Peter Green. In my little mind though, SVR ranks in the top 5 mostly for the way music just flows out of his instrument - he was unique and loved what he did.

Now compare to the Winter Brothers' Tobacco Road. ❤

You just found out that Stevie Ray Vaughn died in a helicopter crash?

SRV is the bomb. His back up band, Double Trouble, is also the bomb.

Three things rock, pop and country artists should do their best to avoid: 1. Hard Liquor 2. Hard Drugs 3. Small Charter Aircraft

At his last concert, Eric Clapton had to follow him on stage after Stevie's set, and he asked, "How the hell do you follow that?" When Legends are in awe, you know you are good.

Vaughan was very much older and more experienced than Jimi Hendrix so it makes sense he's better. Then Joe Bonamasa,

Definitely in top 5. Jimmy paige Eddie van Halen duane allman stevie should I keep going...

I read that whawha step was Jimmy Hendrix. #1 quitar player!!!

"If the house is a Rockin?, Don't bother Knocking!!! Is a great

This is an incredible cover of a Hendrix song. Jimi would be so proud

You have to watch Texas Flood, he plays behind his back and never misses a beat.

"I cant even appreciate how dope he is." That is the best description I have ever heard of SRV, Mr. Pegasus thanks for that. I first heard him in 1984 and it changed my life.

Our Texas Treasure. Eric Clapton said he was an open channel.

Why does he keep referencing Slash. We met Slash once, he signed something for my daughter.

Kudos to his drummer and bass player, they have to be on their game

SRV might be the best all around guitar player that has ever lived. Its impossible to compare a blues player to a technical death metal player or to a Tosin Abasi. But SRV was both very technical and an incredible blues player.

There is so much of this version ryhtmically that is almost exactly the same as Jimi played live. There certainly isnt anything new. That said, I fucking love Stevie. Absolute legend. A one off.

I would rank him 3rd behind Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Hazel.

Check out Life Without You live version. Amazing guitar and he does this crazy guitar switch out in the middle of the song. It's a jaw dropper.

Have you done blue on black yet? Stevie Ray Vaughan is from Dallas. He retired and died Wisconsin in a helicopter crash at 35. There are some videos out there where he’s playing guitar behind his back and still killing it.

The great Hendrix is to this music what Henry Ford was to the Ford Motor Company. SRV is like the Shelby Cobra coming along later.

Rule of thumb if Stevie ain't singing he's soloing.

#1 without a doubt !! and sorely missed !!

Not only is in top 5, he is NUMBER ONE!!!!!

His cover of Hendrix's "Little Wing" is better, in my mind. . . . .

Stevie ray was good . Very good but check out the telecaster master roy Buchanan less stage presence but more flah where it counts

He played like he had that quitar slung around his neck from the age of 2. I can't imagine how big he would have been if he hadn't died the following year. Such a tragedy. I'd never get in a small plane or helicopter 😢

Is he better than Slash, gotta be kidding !

His bass player rocks with Stevie

He has versions of this where plays behind his back. Good luck trying to comprehend that 🤣

The effect early in the song is being done with the pickup selector. The tremolo or "whammy bar" is not something ive seen him use a lot

This is just something I heard years ago. It was that Voodoo Child is a cursed song. And death follows closely after playing it. Just what I was told. And guess it's nonsense for certain.
