Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood ( Live at the El Mocambo ) reaction/review 

R.I.P to a Great

@@watchbizmatik Always do Stevie live, live is always better and each performance is different.

God called him WAY too soon Jimbo

muddy waters said "this guy's got to be the best blues guitarist on earth, but that white stuff he takes is gonna kill him".......and a friend of mine has kept sayin' for years..."stevie ray is the reason why i started to play guitar and the reason why i gave up guitar....

He stopped using Cocaine 4 years before he died in the helicopter crash. Tell him what Albert King said about Stevie.

musiclover9361 that is how he played every time he said every time he steps on that stage he leaves it all on the stage he wanted people to remember him for a good show .

@@shirleybuffington6420, sometimes when he had a bad gig, he would say, "Man, I played like a white guy tonight."

musiclover9361 I would not doubt that

How is that possible? I don’t know much about his life, but I thought he was a huge star at this point?

@@lolawants2008, no he wasn't. His debut album was 'Texas Flood'. He was only able to afford to record it because Jackson Browne saw him at Montreux the previous year (82) and gifted him some free downtime at his personal studio.

Not to mention that he played with heavy guage strings and bass frets, he had such strong hands

Thanks fam

Yeah I just realized that lol

That’s a good dude right, that’s how it’s suppose to be

💯

Thanks fam I’ll keep that in mind

Got it

That’s just wild

i have health crap…i’d give my life to be healthy and see SRV❤️…no regrets.

😂😂😂

Correct. Well put

Tommy (the bassist) Said he was watching stevie so close that night is because he had enough coke in him to kill a horse, boys were keeping an eye on him haha

He’s proud as a peacock man! Hence his chest tattoo (a peacock)

Saw SRV in concert...yup it was that awesome

Hendrix though was king of the jungle

That’s a great way to approach things.. I can tell he is all in just by his facial expressions

@@watchbizmatik Ironically he was killed in a helicopter crash leaving from a performance.

Saw him with Jeff beck the fire and fury tour at Madison Square garden 6 months before the helicopter crash. RIP stevie.

Jeffrey Lemal you was so Lucky to have seen his magic in person

@Thomas Bell I bet that was one killer concert I would have love to have seen it

It’s wild

Him and Carlos

Truth I've seen him live once, you hear him play you could pick him out of a crowd of guitar players blindfolded.

It was his ability to put vibrato on every note. Fingers of steel.

Facts. If you look at them playing Texas flood during that session.... Albert literally stopped playing and was just smiling watching. One of my favorite moments ever.

@@factsonly5994"youre already pretty good, youre pretty good, but you gon be better"

No doubt. Tommy was playing bass for the late Johnny Winter when Stevie was just cutting his teeth on the guitar.

@@craigwiggins253, Tommy is the GOAT of bass for the Blues-Rock sound, without a doubt. Many don't know, he was Johnny's go-to bassist and even played at Woodstock. If Tommy wouldn't have been kicked out by Johnny for drugs and alcohol -- something Johnny never used -- Tommy could have been ever better.

@@craigwiggins253, Johnny never used anything more than a cigarette.

John Green dude, Johnny winter was a longtime heroin addict. I love Johnny and SRV but sobriety wasn’t Johnny’s thing. I believe he recovered though but Johnny was hardcore.

If I could be any musician in the world I would be Tommy Shannon, he got to watch SRV play every night! RIP ~ SRV

Thanks I will add that to my list.. 🙌🏿🙌🏿

💗 💖 💘 💝 💟 ☮️!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He didn't exactly play by ear; he knew the theory behind what he was playing... just didn't read music or know how to write notation.

John Green I was going by what I read in the Texas Flood book where everyone including him in an interview where it was said he would listen too a song over and over again and play it until it was the way he thought it should sound so yea he did play by ear .

@@shirleybuffington6420, I mostly play like this, too. I do know how to read music, but really don't rely on it. For the Blues, most of it is never played the same way twice. If you watch SRV, all his live performances are slightly different. Everything around the song sounds the same, but his solos and add-ons are just ever so slightly different each time. This is why I love SRV... he had the ability to improvise and make it work.

John Green that is why I love Stevie he knows how to play and keeps you interested he was in my opinion one of a kind.

Is easy to believe... he is not following any catchy formula from theoretical work. Pure creativity and art

All facts

Number One was his First Wife! 💕

Foreal

Same here, I'm 56, and been playing from age 8,I can't come close to SRV.

I can’t say that yet but I can say I’m super impressed 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿 he is a weapon with that thing

Man I know that was an insane experience

Lucky you nice!!

Very passionate

I'm 99.95% sure that is the reason music has changed SO MUCH in the industry. This greedy, self-serving 'monster' is the reason, yet it doesn't reason itself or bargain or feel anything...just like the BT1000 in The Terminator lol. I don't have any children, but I have quite a few niece/great-nieces and nephews from the 8-24 age range, so I'm pretty familiar with what's what. In listening to most tracks they ALL contain a 'hook' which is mixed to a rinse/repeat type of beat that anyone with the right software can create from their iPhone or laptop. The industry will then require the artist to make a video. With or without the artist's consent or know about the video will contain occultic signs, symbolism, propaganda, agendas, you name it! In the last 6 or 7 years, I've noticed that the majority of music videos are rife with symbology. If you know what to look for, and have the spiritual eyes to see, then you will surely see these things. Repetitious occurrences of this symbology are: black and white (esoteric symbol), and the b&w can be clothing, flooring like that of a b&w chessboard, triangles/pyramids, one eye symbolism, blood (rep sacrifice), pentagrams, or what sheeple refer to as "stars" have been popping up whether they are right side up or inverted. These are just a few I've noticed in MANY vids. Also, take notice of how many musicians shoot a music vid with them in a bathtub. it's not 'artistic expression'....lol...whether the tub is filled with water, milk, or blood; it's an actual occultic ritual denouncing YHWH/Christ. They are re-baptizing themselves and dedicating their life to the OG liar and deceiver Satan. Now with BET, MTV, and VH1 pretty much dead outlets for music videos internet platforms/social media are now the pushers and can reach many more at a breakneck rate. I mention all of this why? Well because these factors are just as important as the music itself. It's the best way for this monster of the industry to indoctrinate our youth with all of its symbolic esoteric garbage by using beauty, money, wealth, sex, designer items, exotic vehicles, etc. All of the things that are easy for the flesh to desire are cunningly packaged for any young one to selfishly admire. THE BEST way to expose anyone to these things is through entertainment be it music or movies especially in 2021. We have the technology to pass information at an almost immediate rate, therefore no one stands a chance unless they give themselves to a higher power.
