Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood | First Time Reaction | (from Live at the El Mocambo) 

Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me . I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤

My favorite comment from a Stevie Ray Vaughan fan is "When Stevie Ray Vaughan finishes performing, his guitar smokes a cigarette." 😊

My Uncle Larry Davis wrote this song and recorded it in 1958. He gave Stevie the blessings to record it and Stevie made him proud.

Stevie was put on this earth for 1 reason and he definitely didn't disappoint. Gone way too soon. R.I.P. 😪

To answer your question… YES! He was so talented that he could tune his guitar in the midst of an amazing performance.

One of the greatest performances in music history

No one can ever say that “ God” never gave us anything. He gave us Stevie Ray.

Yup,most people watching,listening to SRV ended up with wrinkles,frustrated, confused,pissed off and left saying why can’t I do that?At the end of the day you just have got to enjoy greatness and respect the talent. And it’s comforting to know that you’re not the only one that can’t play like SRV,I doubt that anyone can.

After much consideration. This was the greatest guitarist of all time.

Stevie would say keep playing that guitar 🎸

Stevie was on fire at the El Mocambo. He was channeling and you can see it in his face, body and playing. You should watch the whole concert. It's simply amazing.

No one can compare to his greatness! Don't feel bad. Stevie died in a helicopter crash after a concert. His ability to play still brings tears to my eyes.

I was a 17 year old kid at that show. Used to cross the border from Buffalo and see lots of shows in Canada. Friend of mine wanted me to go up to Toronto and see a guitarist named Stevie Ray Vaughn and I thank God I did. Completely blown away and a fan since. What a great loss to lose him so young. Front row at a show in the Buffalo area two weeks before he was killed, last song Voodoo child Jimmy Hendrix, RIP SRV.

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jeff Healy!😃😆😎

His note-bending is so nuanced, his attention to pitch is so well articulated. I'm convinced he heard that that string had slipped out of PERFECT tuning and needed immediate retuning. What really blows me away is the ease with which he resolved it. Everything he does in relation to his guitar just seems so second natured. I'm so glad that you reacted to Stevie, and especially with this vid. If you're familiar with Hendrix's music.. i'd like your reaction to any of his (Stevie's) Voodoo Child live videos or his cover of 3rd Stone From the Sun. Excellent reaction !!! 💙 💙 💙

You can argue whether SRV is the greatest of all time, but that vibrato is indisputably the greatest of all time. RIP Stevie

SRV was an artist for God... we just got lucky enough to witness his prayers to the creator... Some months before we lost Stevie, he used to stay at the Claremont Resort & Spa in Oakland, CA. Where I bartended at the time. Got to know and chat with SRV before and after his going sober. SRV was a real and down to earth person who loved life and those who influenced his development. Stevie asked me once who my favorite guitarist was which is and always will be Robin Trower... when SRV asked why, I told him "because like you, Robin plays like he's playing for God and we just happen to be in the room" You should've seen the ear-to-ear grin spread across his face... 😎👍❤️🙏

Stevie is literally pouring his soul out. There will never be another like him. SRV = THE G.O.A.T.

There are 2 SRV videos where a string pops. 1. He changes guitar without missing a single note. And 2. He changes the popped string while continuing to perform. AMAZING!

S.R.V. and Jimi are jamming in heaven.

Stevie made actual bonafide guitarists wanna toss their guitars.

I love to see people see, hear and react to SRV for the first time. The man and his music has brought so much joy and awe to millions of people. That is the the true spirit of SRV living on.

The man never played it the same way twice!!!! Every night he had a different feeling on how to perform tunes and his mood that day/night steered him in a certain direction and that’s what you got as an audience member from the GOAT!!!!! Been there done that watching him dozens of times in clubs throughout Austin!!!!! Yes I’m old!!!! 😍 Pure talent and emotions!!!! Just an unbelievable performer and Double Trouble ruled as his band!!!! So talented!!!!! As BB King said in amazement after playing with him once (BB was a great influence on Stevie when he was growing up and definitely wasn’t a slouch on playing Blues), we blues guitarist play in sentences and Stevie plays the in paragraphs!!!!! So says Austin Tx!!!!! 😎🍸

Bisscute Stevie Ray Vaughan is in. My opinion the best guitar 🎸 player over all genres of music 🎶. To Bad we had to lose him at such a young age. I seen him in Atlanta from the fourth row with Jeff Beck who is in a two way tie with SRV. RIPSRV.Peace. Out and. God bless SRV

10 seconds in and you've already got the stank face going. That's the natural response to Stevie Ray Vaughan.

This man was unbelievably talented. That guitar was an extension of his soul. Wish we still had him around. SRV forever!

I count myself as extremely fortunate to have seen him perform in person. It was in what a lot of people would consider a dumpy bar. But that night, there was no where else I would have wanted to be.

Stevie Ray channeled his gift direct from the universe ........ !!!!

Body soul and mind ..put it on those strings !!!

7:20 I always love this part where he steps up to the mic to make the audience think he’s going into the next verse, then he just steps back and starts that slow breakdown. He was a great showman.

Not just talent, not just emotional depth, but thousands and thousands of hours of practice.

What you need to understand is that Stevie was an absolute master of the guitar in every sense.

only 3 guitarists have ever made me think about just giving up playing, SRV, Steve Vai and Tommy Emmanuel. keep up the great work please my friend! big love to all people :)

Your reaction was absolutely perfect. One of the blues guitar gods. The music flowed through him like a river! As far as your feelings as a guitar player? No less than Eric freakin Clapton said “I almost stopped playing after I heard Stevie. It was like “What’s the point?”

It doesn't get mentioned much but my favorite part is when he gets soft and quiet in his playing (around 7:30 in this video). He pulls the audience into an intimate space with him and it's amazing.

American Blues - the whole band is delivering a difficult and fantastic performance, and making it look so easy...

Stevie died after midnight on my birthday. 26th into 27th. I sipped whiskey until sunrise listening to tributes on a local Philly rock station. RIP ❤

Never give up on playing the guitar girl ... there isn't anyone that can be as great as Stevie was but keep playing rest in peace brother Stevie the world misses you

Little wings, pride & joy.. his live recordings are unreal. Thank you for this video ❤️

Don't give up on your own guitar playing. 'Most' of all the great timeless hits that we all love were created using 3 or 4 decent simple chords. A structure with space for vocals and sounds brings order and joy to the ear. NEVER forget this ! A 'Beautiful' song is MOST OFTEN SIMPLE and should always be the aim. For example, take 'Let It Be', by the Beatles (go listen to the song). The space within the structure allowing for 'all' sounds and words to unify and yet stand out are what brings on the beauty of the song. You can create 'wonderful' music' without being either a Stevie Ray Vaughn or a Beethoven. The ear knows what is good, and, on the whole, simplicity never has failed in the recording industry. Keep on posting, dear. Peace to you !

I don't care who you are, you could be Aliens from another Planet, you see the way this guy plays that Instrument, you know he's a Master of his Craft!

Welcome to Texas Biss ! As an old Texan myself I can tell that Stevie was Texas Blues Music at its finest. In fact in my opinion SRV was the best blues guitarist ever,period. Stevie played with such raw emotion and power that it often seemed like the music was channeled through him instead of coming from him. I can tell you it was an awesome thing to behold live. Two of my favorite songs are “Tightrope” and “Life by the Drop”. By the way Biss, that was a fantastic reaction. Cheers from West Texas 😎🤘🏻

You aren't wrong. The guitar is simply an extension of his body, heart and soul. He wouldn't have needed a voice at all. His guitar was his voice. Just watch his mouth during parts of his solos. He mouthing what he is playing. A generational talent that was with us for far too short of a time. I'm glad a whole new generation is discovering him!

Stevie Ray Vaughan (SRV) was a son of Texas and the natural successor to the legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix... he got into playing guitar as a kid from his guitarist older brother Jimmie Vaughan (who is still actively playing today). He left home as a teen and started playing in Texas clubs in the 70's in various bands and showed promise in the blues style. He struggled w/ drug and alcohol abuse in his personal & professional life, sadly... Finally in 1978, he formed SRV and Double Trouble... w/ Chris Layton (drums)...Tommy Shannon (bass) who knew Stevie before, joined in 1980... After years of struggling, he debuted SRV & Double Trouble in 1983 w/ the album 'Texas flood' and it sold 2x platinum in the US. Stevie Ray Vaughan became a sensation in the 80's, releasing 4 studio albums that sold platinum - "Couldn't stand the weather" (1984)... 'Soul to soul' (1985)... and 'In step' (1989)... He also recorded an album 'Family style' as Vaughan Brothers w/ Jimmie Vaughan. Stevie Ray Vaughan was killed in a helicopter crash in 1990 in Wisconsin, after playing a concert in East Troy. SRV was 35 years of age. After his untimely death, the Vaughan Brothers album "Family style" was released and went platinum... his last recordings was released as 'The sky is crying' in 1991... His 'Greatest hits' album in 1995 sold 2x platinum.

Stevie Ray - RIP - cleaned himself up and was almost at his peak then the helicopter crash - so sad. Thanks for the review!!!

Life without you Live at Capitol Theater in my opinion is one of his best performances.

He was also very, soft spoken, thoughtful, and humble. He always gave props to those that came before him, those that he learned from. Your reaction was spot on. Everything you said made perfect sense. He definitely got a boat-load of talent.

Long time fan of SRV (I'm 74) just want to reiterate - like the lady said - most people can't sing with that much emotion and talent - only a handful can play guitar on Stevie's level _ if any - but no one sings like that and plays guitar at this level behind his back all at the same time! Normal people have to focus their concentration on a specific activity to perform this well - Stevie manages to perform on this exalted level like normal humans breath in and out - scratch an itch or swat at a fly.

"Jesus-Lord" This is the proper reaction to SRV, first time or otherwise. Love your reactions...

I saw SRV live before he became super famous. I knew nothing about him, hadn't heard a song, but he was supposed to be a legend. I was absolutely blown away. I bought my first guitar the next day.

There are only two other blues guitarists that I can think of who can shred like this... Johnny Winter and Rory Gallagher. Stevie is just jaw-dropping to watch.

SRV is one of the greatest now you’ve heard him you can never un-hear him you have started a long journey enjoy

SRV was on a guitar playing level all his own. No one has ever played like him, before, or, since.

amazing how he could start with basic age-old tried and true blues lick, and add so many flourishes and runs and fills and still be smooth as silk the whole way, adding a few well placed rough edges here and there... a true master of his instrument

Tin Pan Alley (with Johnny Copeland) [Live At Montreux 1985] is one of my favorites. The only person you should compare your guitar playing ability to is yourself from the day before. The fact that you have any experience at all playing guitar is exponentially better than the average person, so don't dwell so much on the destination - just enjoy the journey. ;-)

Stevie Ray was the greatest guitarist of all time! He is playing his "soul guitar" in Heaven now!

SRV. A beautiful, expressive soul. His guitar voice revealed a depth beyond mere mortals.

👏🙌✌️Great first reaction to our Stevie🎸🎶‼️. His guitar skills were beyond comprehension and no one has ever played with more passion and total commitment than Stevie did. Self taught from age 7, never reading music, just feeling it. He devoted his whole life to expressing himself through his music and just slayed everyone when he played. I would love you to react to one of Stevie's own songs called Aint Gone 'N' Give Up On Live performed at the Capitol Theatre in 1985. It is a very bluesy love song performed to perfection🎶🎸🎶. Looking forward to more from you~

The pride of Dallas, Texas. RIP Texas Blues man.

First of all, you're adorable. Secondly, I saw Stevie Ray back in the day and he performed like this every night. There is no exaggerating his talent.🎸🎸

Two songs that are instrumentals but you feel them more than hear them are "Lenny" and his cover of "Little Wing" (originally by Jimi Hendrix both with and without lyrics) trust me, either one is just a good ole soul shaking experience, and totally worth the listen

The real gift is for us. The work and passion this man put in. The hours the bleeding fingers the study of the language of music. He put in so much work that we got to hear him relax and play with the soul his work allowed him to be so free in.The gift was to me in inspiration and drive for me to learn how to be as good as I am. I love his playing but truly respect the effort it takes to be what I consider to be the best blues player......Ever. Thank you SRV....

You are ADORABLE!!!! Stevie was born with gifts, sure, but more along the lines of freakishly strong hands. Stevie also used HUGE gauged strings and was at constant war with his guitars. There are SO many videos you can find of Stevie Ray live, shredding, just snapping a string, continuing to play with 5 strings until an opportune moment and doing changes so fast with a roadie as to be unbelievable. As to the sweat, well Stevie clearly poured himself into his music….. but at his autopsy, coroners found enormous, undigested cocaine crystal formations in his stomach. He got sober at the end of his life but cocaine was an enormous part of his life for years. As to his allotment of talent, well, no doubt he was talented but he was also playing live on 6th Street in Austin every weekend from when he was something like 9 or 11. If you want to see an amazing video watch SRV & Jeff Healey ‘Little Sister.’

I've seen a LOT of reaction videos and no one comes close to blowing minds like Stevie Ray blows minds.

Awesome. SRV is the truth. Absolutely mindblowing talent. One of the greatest ever. Ive played guitar for two decades & everything he does is still just jaw dropping & hard to comprehend. Stevie is a KING

When SRV gets done playing.... The guitar needs a cigarette. :D

Greatest electric guitar player who ever lived.

I don’t think their has been anyone who enjoyed playing music more than SRV,he will always be looked at as being the greatest guitar player to come along.

Great, real reaction. One of the best reactions I have ever seen. Thank you for being so real. As for SRV, he was one of a kind. He did not play for show, he played from the heart. He said that if you do not play from the heart, it's not worth it. As for other SRV videos, there are many, but top of my mind is his performance of Voodoo Chile live in Austin, Texas, as well as his performance of Life Without You (9/21/1985 from the Capitol Theatre, Passaic, NJ). And there is Lenny (also from the El Mocambo), a song dedicated to his wife, and another is his performance of Little Wing (another Jimi Hendrix song). There is so much more, but these will get you well versed in the SRV magic. As for his death- he died in a helicopter accident. Early in the morning of Monday, August 27, 1990, SRV was killed in a helicopter crash near East Troy, Wisconsin. He was performing at a concert at the Alpine Valley resort, a concert that included people like Eric Clapton. There was only one road to and from the venue, so most of the artists were flown in and out via helicopters. He left on the last helicopter, and it crashed shortly after take-off. A very sad day for music indeed.

Watch Stevie Ray and Jeff Healey perform, "Look at Little Sister ". Jeff Healey was blind, and Stevie Ray held back and allowed Jeff to shine. Watching that performance will change your life. I'm not even joking. 👌💯💣💥

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble. 🤟🤟🤟So Blues, makes me remind me of Muddy Waters, Johnny Lee Hooker. Past years are great years.

My mom introduced me to Stevie among many other artists when I was young. I was amazed and have been a fan ever since. This is such an amazing performance. My favorite songs are Pride and Joy and Crossfire. Great reaction Biss ❤🎸

He is sorely missed. Huge talent gone too soon.

SRV was GIFTED by the "Eye In The Sky" & He sure brought the Good's to this performance. The Canadian Crowd at this Club will NEVER 4GET what they saw & heard that Nyte..

Those blues licks so hot when Stevie Ray finishes playing his guitar needs a cigarette 😳 The man, the myth, the legend SRV

I love your reaction, don't bother about the pause thing - follow your guts, you cannot always decide when to pause when he's playing. I can see the chills you're feeling, and I love seeing young people feeling the same as I do listening to him. And yes, you can tune as you play, it's not that hard but it requires good pitch and maybe some experience.

Loved your reaction to SRV Bisscute! It literally brings tears to my eyes when people react to his playing for the first time because I share in your joy and wonder, it's my pride and joy too. If you want to be marveled by another incredible talent check out Japanese drummer Yoyoka. This was her first video, and she's covering Led Zeppelin's Good Times, Bad Times at just 8 years old! I guarantee your jaw will drop at how good she is, probably as good as any drummer you've ever heard, but then I also guarantee you'll delight at her little girl giggles at the very end. Consider this a reaction request please! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-91pz1E8pAOY.html

I was lucky enough to catch a concert with Stevie Ray Vaughan and Joe Cocker at Pine Knob Music Theatre Michigan. The story went that the show started late as the two of them flipped a quarter back stage to see who would open for who. Stevie opened but also came out for a shared performance with Joe during his set. What an amazing concert by two giants. Joe Cocker would be another performer you should check out.

Practice Practice Practice!!!!

Grew up near where he was from . Always tried to catch his performances in small clubs . Never got so lucky . He was one of the greatest .

Best ever! Love Stevie Ray.

I would recommend watching documentaries on this guy he worked very hard to have the talent that he had it's just a shame that he's no longer with us, RIP SRV ✌️❤️🤘

Stevie was and is the G.O.A.T. To channel music the way he did is the only way to play.

Seeing SRV perform is like watching a UFO coming out of the sky. You can't explain what you are seeing. You just stare in wonder with your mouth dropped

Yes Biss, there are millions of amazing guitar players in this world. But never give up, and never be in competition with anyone. Only challenge yourself, and play what you love. And play what you love with your heart, not your hands. Dimebag Darrell always said play what you feel in your heart and soul, your hands are just a tool to make your heart sing! R.I.P. Dimebag Darrell Lance Abbott!

You recognized it pretty early. SRV was born with a guitar in his hand. It was an extension of his body. His older brother Jimmy was also a really good guitar player in his own right. He is still alive and still living in the shadow of Stevie. It had to be hard for Jimmy seeing his little brother surpass him.

Beautiful song from Stevie guitar god. Miss him so much. You will get there young lady . With your guitar it took me 5 years to learn.

I don't think most people realize when they listen to this man they are listening to the greatest blue's player in history.

Stevie overcame his addictions, became a Christian and said that he didn't want to be a master of his instrument, but an instrument of the Master.

Welcome to the SRV rabbit hole...it's a helluva ride.

That was what I call a man playing like he’s in heaven but he’s on earth and or fortunately he left us so early in life . God bless you Stevie Ray and Rest In Peace my friend

SRV is your favorite guitarist’s favorite guitarist. S.R.V. = G.O.A.T.

Your going to love it . He's the best rock as nnd blues guitarist ever I wish I could have seen Stevie Ray. Vaughn and Double Trouble.❤❤❤❤😊😢😂 Mrs biss it's awesome you like all kinds of music from almost every era.8❤❤❤😊😊

Self taught guitarist, when Stevie Ray play’s all the other Great guitarist put theirs down and watch him… Greatest guitarists of all time 🎸👍👍

Best Blues guitarist of our lives so far ! Yep

I was blessed to see him play twice. Both times I knew I was in the presence of greatness.

The greatest guitar player ever!

Stevie. The pride of Dallas Texas. (Actually Oak Cliff, just outside of downtown) he was kind, shy and generous.

I consider him the GOAT of guitar players, and this the finest use of a guitar I have ever heard in my 58 years on the planet. It has been said that Stevie makes non-guitarists want to pick up the guitar and seasoned players want to throw it down. His voice has been described as honeyed gravel or honey over gravel. Eric Clapton said Stevie didn't play the blues; the blues flowed through him like a conduit. Stevie didn't really die; God just wanted guitar lessons. I strongly recommend reacting to or at least watching his cover of Hendrix's Little Wing from this same show at El Mocambo.

he was one of the great,sadly he was taken from us way too early r.i.p. Stevie
