Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood (El Mocambo) | MY REACTION 

SRV is the absolute best there was and will ever be. R.I.P STEVO ....we miss ya!

He never played a note. He never wrote a note. He was totally self taught!! What a absolute genius!! May God bless his soul!

"Stevie was just an endless, open channel that music just poured out of. He made people who'd never touched a guitar in their life want to pick one up and start playing, and made those of us who'd played professionally onstage with him before want to quit".....................Eric Clapton.

R.I.P. STEVIE..THANKS FOR ALL YOU GAVE US..GONE BUT DEFINITELY NOT FORGOTTEN.

Stevie Ray was otherworldly. Swooped in to share his gifts and then went back into the mystic.

We watch one song from a concert and we are blown away by the amount of soul and intensity that he played with. Then you remember. He played like that for 2 hours straight night after night.

It has been said that Guitars dream of him playing them. He was the best Blues man EVER.

That wasn't sweat brother, that was pure soul coming out every pore in his body. That is why he is rightfully called the GOAT

Only Stevie played like that . Pure hart and soul .

Not one of the greatest THE GREATEST! Puts all the other 'greats' to shame, including Hendrix, yeah I said it!

The pride of Texas and In My opinion the GOAT of the blues RIP SRV

SRV was the GOAT! I still cry that he's gone, such a beautiful talent, beautiful soul. Thanks for the great reaction friend!

SRV - THE G.O.A.T.!!! All due respect to Jimi, Eddie, Eric and the others... (I couldn't wait to see your face when he turned around!! 😅) His brother, who was playing next to him, got a guitar when Stevie was little and he cried and cried wanting one, too. So, whenever his brother was gone, Stevie would sneak in and "borrow" brother's guitar until he was "old enough" for one of his own...

A masterpiece. RIP sweet Stevie Ray.......

Welcome to the Stevie Ray rabbit hole🎸🎶. This will be a ride you won't ever get off. The more you see and hear the more amazed you will be.. his life story and just what an incredible being he was is the reason why we continue to love him and keep his spirit alive. He used to say about his playing that he played like was breaking out of jail. He was always 100% immersed in the musical River every time. Thank you for your great reaction👏👏‼️🎶🎸🎶

One of the top GOATS of all time, best blues guitar performance ever recorded

Such a sad loss. He had just finished a concert playing in Wisconsin with Eric Clapton and boarded a helicopter that crashed into a ski hill. Only 35 years old when it happened, back in 1990. R.I.P Stevie

Well, He's not on the planet any more, but as being the best? He is The GOAT.

Best comment I’ve heard about this performance is a guitarist after seeing this- “This is what my guitar secretly listens to when I’m not home.”

He said in an interview that the guitar he is playing in this video was his first wife and he was serious he said she didn’t talk at him or scream at him she talked for him and screamed for him .

He was the greatest ever!!!

Yes he is! Listening to Stevie play like this is like having a religious experience. He offers his heart and soul to us when he plays like this.

GOAT! 🐐Period!👍

Yes sir I would have to say he was one of the greatest guitarists this ever lived I was younger when he was around.

STEVIE was the GOAT - Best blues guitar performance ever recorded IMO - I saw him live twice and it was just as good when I saw him. You got the best Live at El Mocambo version he did on this night, he never played a song the same way twice.

SRV is T.H.E.G.O.A.T. !! Once in a lifetime talent. Keep going, you will not be disappointed.

The best there ever was and ever will be ❤️love you stevie

Miss you Stevie. Best guitar player ever! 😀🎸RIP

I was at his last show at Alpine Valley where his helicopter crashed.....I was blessed.

Stevie Ray didn’t feel the music, he WAS the music!

SRV : THE GOAT, TEXAS LEGEND

His guitar was just an extension of his body. B.B. King one said “I've said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed.” Pretty high praise from a blues legend.

I adore your reaction. And YES to his vocals that delivered the story precisely as it should be told. Cinematic, even. The vocal and guitar are not to be separated. It's one fluid story. He wrangles the guitar with angst, passion, and anger... the fit-throwing, arguing, spitting, cursing, crying, pleading, foot-stomping, begging and weeping... his vocals complete the story with the force you could imagine crying out amidst a thunderstorm.

As we speak, Stevie is teaching God how to play the guitar.

RIP Stevie Ray.

NICE 10 mimute solo, Welcome to SRV'S world🔥🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸🔥

Stevie and his guitar are one entity. Check out Voodoo Child in Austin R I P Stevie. The world misses you. Damn Helicopter!

You mentioned coming out of his Mama playing. His brother was the guitartist when he was growing up & had the gigs. He's great, btw. He had a little guitar with a horse on back. They moved around constantly landing in Texas. Stevie was working all kinds of odd jobs. He found some records in a trash can (promo material). He joined many bands but eventually left them all searching for his own voice. He performed a concert in which he was BOOED off stage BUT guess who heard it? None other than David Bowie. David knew immediately. Skipping forward, Stevie was literally dying from cocaine & alcohol. He DRANK it. He was vomiting blood one day on the sidewalk & the band knew he could go no further. He played 2 more shows & into rehab he went. AA saved his life. He became a whole new man & his playing only got better. Sadly, at the age of 35 after a concert he wanted to get back to the hotel & grabbed a helicopter that wasn't even meant for him. It crashed. The world still mourns the loss of our great SRV. I just know he's up in heaven with Freddie, Neil Peart, Eddie, Jimmy, etc...jamming out. Its a vision that makes my heart smile.

RIP Stevie! Saw him in 84 or85 the best concert ( Butler University Indianapolis) very small and personable he was bad ass!!

Stevie Ray Vaughan poured everything he had into every performance. He once said, “I want to play as if it is my last performance.“ Unfortunately, one day that happened. He played a show and shortly after he took a helicopter away from the show and it crashed. Killing him and four others. Extremely tragic day. The anniversary of that tragic day just passed on August 27th. He died in 1990.

He IS the Greatest Guitar Player on the Face of the Planet. ❤❤

There was Hendrix and then there was SRV. Nothing else to add.

The guitar sings, and the voice is all blues. I live in a place where blues is everywhere. Feel like I need to love on this at a lawnside BBQ place with blues performers. He IS the guitar. RIP Stevie Ray.Yes - one of the best in what he did.

Thanks - yep, as everyone knows, Stevie is the GOAT -- I'm sure you'll be looking at more of his work -- he was just 35 when we lost him... tragic, considering how much more we could have had....

Good old Texas boy.

GOAT! That is all.

Saw him three times. Was amazed every time.

Stevie is the GOAT. That's just fact. When Al King & BB King see you as an equal you know you've made it as a blues artist. This man's finger tips used to come off & he super glue & keep playing. Please watch "Life Without You" at Capitol Theater. Stevie literally breaks a TOOTH playing. Watch his life story. I wish he had never got on that helicopter. Apparently, God needed his guitarist back.

His guitar stands in a glass box in a museum now... how it must miss his touch!

It's always great to watch someone reaction to Stevie for the first time, welcome to the fantastic rabbit hole, of Stevie Ray Vaughn

He was AMAZING!!!...PICK UP A GUITAR AT 10 YEARS OLD COULD NOT READ MUSIC... BUT TAUGHT HIS SELF... GONE WAY TOO SOON THATS FOR SURE.. MADE TEXAS PROUD!!!

I suggest watching that whole El Mocambo show...it is a guitar god clinic !!!

Welcome to Stevieland, friend!

My Brother IS the GREATEST GUITAR PLAYER EVER ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET. BAR NONE! ❤❤

Bro your reaction to this live performance of SRV has been the best iv seen so far thanks bro 😂😊

He can make that thing walk and talk!

Another SRV video you may be interested in Chad would be Stevie playing with blind guitarist Jeff Healey "Look at Little Sister". Both men amazing and both taken too soon.

Stevie ray vaughan es el número 1 en el blues...

He is the best im 65 and i need our old bands back to live tanks man !

One of the best reactions for this video. Thanks for showing so much respect for this artist. Thanks for not trying to make it all about you, as so many reactors do. Thanks for not interrupting. Thanks for perceiving that you were in the presence of greatness, sitting back and drinking it all in. That look of semi-stunned wonderment was all the reaction i needed to see. I'm subscribed. Peace -

Amazing talent, a great loss. No telling how good the man could have become... Never seen anything like it.

I listen to that performance everyday

Amazing right chad, when his brother plays with him his brother stands behind stevie & they play on 1 guitar. 🤯🤯🤯 💕💕🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 i loved your reaction 🤣🤣💞💞💞

He was just that good

If you get a chance, find Stevie Ray doing Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing". Another good one is "Lenny". Both are instrumentals. They showcase his versatility. SRV started playing at 7 years old with his brother, Jimmy. Truly an amazing talent.

This performance to me is one of the best examples of Stevie making the guitar -CRY- and -WAIL- the blues-!!! I saw him play live 2 times and it was like nothing id ever seen, best blues / R&B guitar work id ever seen, he played with the best of the old time bluesmen and they all gave their highest praises to Stevie.

The Texas Flood album with SRV and Double Trouble was inducted into the Grammy Hall Of 2021 with. Well deserved!!!

Love me some SRV. 🥰

🎸💯🤯 Those Texas blues tho‼🔥🤟 SRV called his guitar "The One"! [FYI: Jimi Hendrix (RIP) played with his teeth AND behind his back, too] RIP Stevie Ray Vaughan. ❤🕊🙏

Making that thing sing? He's making it cry brother.😎🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Soul is spelled SRV!!💜

What's impossible is he actually played a song and didn't break a string. lol.

Having watched this video a thousand times, and then watching reaction videos to it, the look of amazement is great. BUT, I love the part when he goes around his back and the viewers head explodes. Great!!

Wow, not even gonna say but SRV singing from higher above now. In peace. Angelic here a very short time. Not human at all

I don’t use the best word for guitar players as its very subjective and Im not sure what the parameters are. I used to go “Oh yes, thats the best”! But, then I’d hear somebody else and say, “Oh he’s the best”! But, as far as SRV goes, there is nobody better. Randy Rhodes, Ritchie Blackmore & Jimmy Page are in there too. Now I just enjoy and don’t fret over who’s best. Loved the reaction.

I Love and miss Stevie Ray. He was the GOAT!

Just another SRV. Life Without You written for his friend Charley Wirz who died of a heart attack and helped him to design his guitars. Great message and beautiful vocals.

Peak level musician

His band is called Double trouble and they are Chris Layton on the drums Tommy Shannon on bass and Reece Wyman on keyboard.

We all have a sense that lets us locate parts of our bodies. You can, for instance, find your left hand with your right even with you eyes closed. For SRV his guitar seems to be just another part of himself.

Everyone that reacts to this video has the same facial expression! Totally understandable! RIP SRV!

Everything he has and yet seems so effortless

Chad...........he was my all time favorite...

Blessed to have seen him in the UK in this year '83

He's Thee Best Ya'll ❤.

If there had been no guitar invented, SRV would have mastered some other instrument. There's just no stopping a force of nature like him. His song Life Without You is excellent. It has a back-story, as well.

Chad, does the word G.O.A.T have any meaning to you? Lol! He is a top tier if not THE top tier player that ever lived. He started at I believe the age of 14. I may be wrong, but I think that's it. He never ceases to amaze me. We certainly lost a gem when he died. Great reaction! Have a great day!

he's putting so much stank on this it'll never come off

Taj Farrant is the reincarnation of S.R.V., check out Parisienne Walkways or House of Blues with Carlos Santana, has also played with Rob Thomas, BTW he's around 12-13 years old, won Australia's Got Talent 2 years ago...

Welcome to the wonderful world of Stevie Ray Vaughan there is soooo many great videos of his to check out here is a few Little Wing live at El Macombo, ain’t gonna give up on love and Life without you live at the Capital Theater, Tom Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland, and his guitar sound check where he is wearing a leopard coat and there are so many more the interesting thing is he never plays a song the same way twice he changes something one it every time he freestyles every time . And it is hard to believe as good as he was he could not read music he was self taught.

That look on Stevie’s face is called, “Stank Face”.

My top 5 guitarists of all time. 1 SRV 2 SRV 3 SRV I think you know where this is going. 4 SRV 5 SRV He is my favorite musician and has been for 40 years. Honorable mention 6 SRV

9:10 Chad: "Oh my God" SRV: "Yes?"

I was in high school.....☮️❤️Still no words.....

He was simply the GOAT! Period. Hendrix, Beck, Clapton, Winters,..... Pass the baton...its Stevie! Today...Joe Bonamassa?? Who gets that baton next?

SRV ~ 🎸🐐

It played 7 hours a day 7 day's a week 365 day's a year. His wife said she got up to take a pee and turned over and looked at Stevie and damn if he was playin' that damn guitar in his sleep. She said he never snored he just played that damn guitar. When you can literally play a guitar in your sleep you gotta be THEE GREATEST GUITAR PLAYER EVER ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET BAR NONE! THAT'S MY STEVIE ❤.

The was playin' like that when he was 10 year's old ridin' his bike gone down the road. Behind his back.

By now im sure theres nothing more i can say about Srv! But.. damn! Blues! Dan north fl usa-9/02/21.

Great reaction, great format... SRV, the Best !!
