Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood | REACTION 

He was self-taught and couldn't read or write music. He played totally by sound and pitch. He was a savant, a phenomenon and is sorely missed by millions who still listen to him today. His music transcends time. People will still be listening to him another 30+ years from now. That's why he is the Greatest Of All Time.

Stevie Ray is a true GOAT. This is arguably the best blues guitar performance ever recorded. I was lucky enough to see him play live twice, never forget it.

You really want to be impressed, it's not just SRV's playing, but rather what other players had to say about the man... When they are as astounded as you were, it will finally hit home how amazing Stevie really was for a guy who couldn't read music.

You just witnessed the G O A T! SRV, the greatest Blues Rock Guitarist to ever walk the Earth!

The guitar was an extension of his body. No one today can do what he did. He was obsessed with it no one today will/can put that time in to be that good. SRV is THE G.O.A.T.

I'm addicted to watching people react to SRV. This is the reaction I look for. Great reaction... The El Mocambo is located in Toronto. Quite the hot spot in the 80's...

The G.O.A.T. Master guitar player, Stevie Ray Vaughan R.I.P. Brother.

This is pure Texas sound. Stevie Ray used to play here in Austin often. Texans go hard.😉🤘

The El Mocambo is a club in Toronto Canada. I was brought to this show (underaged) by my audio engineering instructor. I had no idea what was in store, but what a night! Not at all the kind of music I was listening to at the time and it truly changed me. Wherever you are today Mark, I will never be able thank you enough!

Welcome to the light, gentlemen! RIP SRV 🙏

Of course he practiced it. He played guitar pretty much all day every day. My brother -in-law went to the same high school, and he said he brought his guitar to school every day and fell asleep in class because he’d been playing at clubs half the night. He had amazing natural ability, was taught by his big brother, practiced and played most of the day, took his guitar everywhere, loved it, and went humbly asking the old blues masters to show him things… He got real good. He never ran out of ideas. He never hit a dead end. Music just flowed through him. I was lucky enough to see him play many times in Dallas and Austin.

I knew of SRV but discovered his music @ the start of the Pandemic! Searching for music to listen to when the news got to be too much! SRV self-taught and gifted! And don't forget Double Trouble! Stevie Chris and Tommy what a combination! Love the reaction!

Yeah, NOW you know why he was the GOAT! A couple of other performances for you to check out: Life Without You at the Capital Theater, Tin Pan Alley at the Loreley Music Festival. Don't substitute other performances of these songs - these are the best. Plenty of other songs for you to react to as well!

The G. O. A. T. !!! Who else sounds like 2 people playing at one time! 😂

In honor of Stevie Ray Vaughan, August 27 will mark 32 years since we lost him💔 would you please react to Life Without You live from The Capitol Theater?

And as amazing as this performance is, Stevie Ray brought it up to another level when he performed "Life Without You" live at the Capitol Theater in Passaic, NJ in 1985. Let's just put it this way: during his performance on "Life Without You" that night, Stevie Ray lost a tooth. You need to react to it so you can see why he lost a tooth while playing guitar!

According to his bassist, this was his best ever, he also was medically roused from a cocaine induced coma an hour before the show. Hence the extra notes and extra sweat.

Your hooked now Y'all!! You GOTTA listen to all you can of Stevie 🙏👍👍 Spread the love 🐶😎🇺🇸

GOAT! 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 next morning when I heard the horrible news was one of the saddest days of my life. The fog was so bad that we stopped and got a hotel room. The lineup was SRV, Eric Clapton, Robert Cray and Buddy Guy. RIP SRV!

"Life Without You" is my favorite and you would be doing yourself a favor checking out "Tin Pan Alley" with Johnny Copeland RIP Stevie ❤️ Stevie Ray Vaughan always gets views and likes~

The only negative thing about Stevie's guitar playing is that it overshadows his incredible voice.

I note SRV almost never looks at his guitar!. This is mastery on a whole different level.!

Another one that would blow you guys away is called “life without you”at the Capitol theater Passaic New Jersey 1985. I promise you will not be disappointing!

Love all the Rest but this guy was the Best!

Life Without You at the Capitol theater in Passaic NJ. His song written for his. friend Charley Wirz. Best vocal,, great solo and beautiful message. You won't be disappointed.

SRV ~ 🎸🐐 THE goat of all goats Stevie's main man was Albert King, but he learned some of his stage presence from Jimi. (Of course, Jimi learned it from guys like T-Bone Walker and Buddy Guy) Stevie and Jimi just took the stage "tricks" to whole other level. **Life Without You at Capitol Theater ** **Tightrope at Austin City 1989**

Simply put, The G.O.A.T.

Think on this, that's just ONE song of an entire show with each song being played to this same intensity! If you look in the left background you will see his backup rack of guitars as he frequently shredded strings and had the smoothest change overs never missing a beat!!

THE GOAT

You were right to go back and view it again. Notice: Not only does he flip the guitar to behind his back, but, in one smooth move, he unplugs the instrument, spins around, and plugs it back in again. He never even had to look at it!

Stevie could always send you on a musical ride!

Good honest reaction you guys are great!

yep endless practice makes sweet perfect

Oh it’s real…LOL. SRV is the goat! RIP. ❤

You should see what Stevie Ray does with the 1989 performance of "Mary Had A Little Lamb." The band's keyboardist, Reese Wynans, does an awesome solo, too.

Jeff Healey ‘See The Light’ Night Music 1988 and Jeff Healey and Stevie Ray Vaughan ‘Little Sister’

Thanks, guys- this is widely considered his best live performance.. and especially this song.. but SRV had so many greats.. if you have time & inclination, check out "Look at Little sister" - great example of how even a broken string doesn't kill his rhythm.. (and also: Reese Wynans on keyboards is astounding...).. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3woPVQExDsQ.html

Voodoo Chile from this same show at El Macombo has got to be next it’s a Hendrix cover promise y’all will enjoy it

A True Texas Legend.

What a joy to see a new generation see and feel what i did all those years ago. RIP SRV💔

He set the standard. He was and always be the best.

Yes ~! He makes me just have to Smile...... Someone said his voice is honey over gravel.... When the calluses on his fingertips began to bleed and come off, he'd secure them with Super Glue !! His guitar was with him ALL the TIME so he could practice. May I suggest another reactor, Sebs Duran "Finally Listening to SRV for the First Time -- Texas FLood" BECAUSE he also is struck speechless and then when he does speak....well, I think you men will feel he is simpatico with your reaction --- both of you Quality !

It is said that when he was young he practiced so much he pulled the skin of his fingers, so he glued them back with superglue so he could practice more. RIP SRV.

Peak level musician

Watch him do the same song on a celebration of blues and soul. You can watch in real time him playing behind his back.

El Mocambo is a nightclub in Toronto, Canada known for having famous musicians and celebrities turn up for a small crowd, think Rolling Stones and politician's run--away wife, and Marilyn Monroe as a few examples.

Subbed. Life Without You, live at Capitol theater is another where he pulls out all the stops, PLUS he deliveres words of wisdom in a talk during the song. It's my favorite SRV performance.

Eyes closed & away Stevie goes! Lol NEVER b another....like Elvis he cud play ANYTHING (Obvsly Elviss instrument was his voice & cud sing anything) both are totally unique, gave their all an were very humble, cool guys...honing their skill an givin the best at EVERY live show was their aim, not bein super rich and boasting like other much less talented...LOVE SRV in this but he was even better after cleaning up his addictions...he didnt deserve to b killed like he was 😕 Great reaction...more please 😍🤟🏼🙏

omg, the dude on the right (never simple hat)...that dude feels it all, thats what you hope to see when someone sees this for the 1st time! Great reaction!

❤️SRV RIP

Check out Without you live version and also a duet with him and Jeff Healy doing Little Sister.

Here is another good one you should check out it is the sky is crying with Stevie Ray, BB King, Albert King and Paul Butterfield I think you will enjoy it

Eric Clapton said he was driving down the road and heard Stevie on the radio. He said he pulled over and said I've got to know before the nights over who that guitar player is. The last concert he played was with Eric Clapton and others in Alpine valley Wisconsin. He flew out in a helicopter it crashed and he was killed instantly.

God Bless Texas!

THAT'S A BAD MAN!!!!!! The GOAT (tied with JIMI)

Life without you capital theater is his best in my opinion

You can see a mini concert of Stevie Ray on Shout Factory when he performed at the Bush Presidential concert. Great performance.

They had a beautiful burial for that guitar after the show! ❤️❤️❤️😆😆✌️

He was short in stature 5"5" but a giant on the stage. GOAT, rip. Check out Jeff Healey See The Light then SRV and Jeff Healey Look Little Sister. SRV found Healey in a club in Canada. They became fast friends.

He blended two fine blues songs together. The ending was from a different song.

SRV....The GOAT

You only need the edge of your chair when watching SRV. If your sitting at all.

He played 13 gauge strings and frequently glued the tips of his fingers back on.

If you wanna see another guitarist discovered by SRV . Check out Jeff Healey - I see the light (night music) 1988... Jeff Healey is blind. Lost his eyesight to cancer at about 2 yr old. Check him out, he has a really unique way of playing the guitar. You'll be blown away by Jeff Healey.

Stevie was still into the drugs on this one. On the voo doo child live from Austin he had cleaned up.

Good one! You can't scratch your own back properly, and he plays like that! 😂Steve, needed to find a way to impress the crowd, like JIMI HENDRIX, made it, because STEVE, was, probably, one of the greatest fan of JIMI HENDRIX, who played with their teeth, behind his neck, between his legs, burning his guitar, etc..... But, what you saw that, is, just, what happened to all the greatest guitar heros of history! They're climbing the mountain of their feelings, and when they reach the top, during a concert, then, they can do all what they want! Look at JIMMY PAGE, LIVE AT THE MADISON SQUARE GARDEN 1973, HE'S POSSESSED! LOOK AT JIMI HENDRIX, LIVE AT WOODSTOCK 1969, OR LIVE AT FILLMORE WEST 1968, LIVE AT FILLMORE EAST 1969/ 1970 BAND OF GYPSIES! THE GUY, MADE ALL WATH HE WANTED, ALL WHAT POSSIBLE TO DO WITH A GUITAR! WITHOUT LOOKING AT HIS GUITAR, AND WHAT HE' S PLAYING! Sorry, for the mistakes guys, I'm a French guy, English, isn't my native language! Good reaction! PEACE FROM FRANCE BRO! 👍✌️😂🎸🇫🇷

Check out his version of Little Wing at Ripley's Music Hall. Audio only, but amazing.

SRV and Gilmore my top to for pouring or channeling emotion into communication through the strings and into the notes we hear/feel :) if that makes sense.. ( bends and shit)

RIP. SRV

Great Reaction to the Greatest...

El Mocambo is a legendary venue/bar/tavern in Toronto Ontario Canada....

It's in Toronto

Thanks for reacting to the great Stevie Ray Vaughan try some Led Zeppelin Raven and David Phelps live videos only. And I appreciate you guys as being the new modern version of Cheech and Chong LOL

El Macambo is a nightclub in Toronto, Canada

🍸🔥🔥🔥💪

LOL..dude on the left has the stank face working and he's not even playing.

😎👍

Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray could both play the guitar behind their backs and with their teeth.

Easiest job in music? SRV's rhythm section. Keep the beat, let Stevie do all the work.

You should check out life without you live at the Capital Theater he puts it behind his back again plus a few other tricks that is impressive plus he has a message that I think you would enjoy as well

Yes!!! I’m so glad that y’all experienced this. I’ll share other songs that will most likely blow your mind. I’ve definitely subscribed guys!

And he had to hold the guitar away from his body with his last hand.

Elmocombo toronto canada

The pride of Dallas

Just an observation (and maybe off base): Are y'all Nort' o' the Great Lakes or St. Lawrence? None my biz, solo curioso.

GREATNESS. Real Artists like this will never exist again.

GO WATCH " LIFE WITHOUT YOU " Capitol Theater N. J!! PLEASE🎸🔥😍🎸🔥😍🎸🔥😍🎸😍😍🎸😍😍🎸😍

RIp SRV

The only Dude on the Planet who can play Hendrix better than Hendrix.

Zakk wylde in this river live doom trooping

How do you get to Carnegie Hall? practice practice practice

LEGEND! :P There's always a battle between who's the best guitar player and always comes down to him vs Hendrix. The difference is Hendrix was loaded with drugs and lots of his sounds were crazy but also shifty. Stevie from every interview about those that knew them never touched drugs and barely drank. I didn't put in BB King since he said that Stevie was "a different cat", says it all :P

play voo doo chile

"Almost BB King"?! Don't get me wrong BB is great, but no SRV.

Hate too bust your bubble but he never practiced putting the guitar behind his back he would come up with something and try it if it worked he would do it again it is trial and era . Stevie played Texas Blues and you know you are a legend when the legends that come before calls you a legend
