Stevie Ray Vaughan Unplugged MTV Reaction 

When Stevie was practicing as a kid, the neighbors used to call and complain... when he stopped.

I know he is a guitar God but I love his voice, the boy can song!

I love this because his vocals are usually overshadowed by the awesome guitar skills. He's got a great blues voice. 12 string, wow.

Not only was it acoustic....it was a 12 string. You have to be even more precise to play the songs he chose. Mastery

#PatrolGaming I could see his fingers ... it's just they were a complete blur. I don't think it mattered what SRV played. He could play the radio and it would still be phenomenal, his talent was infinite. I noticed the video is from (January) 1990, the year he passed.

He's playing a 12 string, like ringing a bell ~!

My absolute favorite song of SRV is one you can listen to on RU-vid, but sadly it is only on tribute videos as an actual video of him performing it doesn't exist. It was released after he passed. Check out "Life by the Drop" It's a song about his struggles with substance abuse. Sad he beat that monster, only to die a short time later. I've seen his brother Jimmy in concert many times, yet I never got to see Stevie. Had tickets to his next concert, that never was. I was one of millions devastated by his loss, yet his music lives on and that gives me some comfort

Couldn’t read music, played from the heart.

1st song Rude Mood, 2nd Pride and Joy. Last song Testify is a barnburner on electric guitar, he explodes with it as the very first song in his famous El Mocambo set.

Stevie Ray Vaughan leave my little girl alone live Austin city limits you’ll love it

He was a phenomenal musician and singer!✌❤

Can u imagine your fingers on those strings performing..Stevie Ray Vaughan is the greatest guitar player that ever put fingers on a guitar..RIP

Joe Satriani was also on this episode. As fantastic as he is he was probably like "Man, how am I supposed to follow THAT?"

THE LEGEND SRV💯💯💯

No words....but Wow!

I have to say I have not seen this one thanks for your reaction well done

SRV is my jam!! Love it!

Man, if that doesn't give you chills nothin will !

Stevie never played a guitar that didn’t need a smoke after he was done with it !!! Can’t believe he’s been gone for 32 years!! RIP Stevie

You have to be damn near an alien to play a 12 string like this. Yep... this is back when musicians on MTV were actually talented. They actually MADE music... with their hands. Not an algorithm or keyboard. SRV was like "I'll show em...haha... I'll bust their ass with a 12 string." LMAO

Any way you hear him, SRV is a class act all the way. He was taken from us way too soon. . . 😢😢😢🎵🎵🎵💖💖💖

You seemed suitably impressed with his acoustic performance. Seriously, so am I. That was good stuff and a good natural reaction to SRV.

Was it just me, or was it creepy for the guy to say "Stevie has to go catch a plane"? Gave me chills!

Music for men, but the ladies that like are the keepers!! Just like the girl that reaches over to unlock the car door for you! 👍

12 STRING GUITAR IS DIFFICULT to at the speed he's going. Look at the smile at the end. He was so happy to be sober GOAT RIP HE SHORTLY PASSED AWAY

The simple truth is, he was just as good on an acoustic (including 6 or 12 strings) as he was on his beloved stratocasters. I'm truly convinced he could have strapped 6 (or 12) strings to a log and made them sound heavenly.

'RUDE MOOD' - STEVIE WON AN EMMY FOR THIS ONE, TOO!

12 string acoustic and this was one of the first MTV Unplugged episodes Joe Satriani was also on this episode

big srv fan, this is first time i seen this video thanks!

I agree!! That MTV guy is obnoxious!!

He was and is Amazing, now it's my job to keep him livin!

I could listen to him play 12 string all day long!

Totally one of the masters. Must have been a buzz to see him live 🙏🙏RIP Stevie.

THERE ya go!! Great job sir!

Another great reaction.

You rock!!! Thank you!!

Damn, he smoked that 12 string!

People used to only halfway joke that you could nail bailing wire to a porch rail and Stevie could find a way to play it. That's actually a friend's 12-string guitar that he borrowed for that gig.

I think the 1st song is Rude Mood, but I could be wrong. It's awesome sauce no matter what.

That first musical intro piece is, I believe, called Scuttle buttin'

Just the best, what else can you say? SRV God rest your soul.

Somewhere there are thousands of guitar players going... How the hell does he play so damn awesome and on a damn twelve string! I need to practice for decades to be even close. Guitar God.... I would say a guitar GAWD

You are correct sir, the MTV dude was a jerk

Hey Patrol Gaming, I just found ur site 2day, u have great taste, mate, keep 'em coming. Noone can compare 2 SRV. Yeah, 12 string, like that, remarkable. I stood in front of him , 8 ft away for 2 hrs the nite he was killed. My ol man and I cried all the way home the next day. I think of him evry day. As far as Derek Trucks, he started playing w/ ABB When he was 9 yrs. Chech out performance of ABB live @ the Orpheum Theater in 2011 covering Vanorrison's " Into The Mystic. It's impressive, haunting 2 the point of tears. Also , check out the new version of ABB, called the Allman Betts Band, new single, on world tour now. Gregg's son, Devon on lead, has Dad Gregg's voice w/ uncle Duane's guitar chops, and Bett's son, Duane, on dueling lead. Berry Oakly's son on bass. Initials of band are still ABB, ironically. These cats r as good as there daddy's and selling out all over US. Talk 2 u again. Keep it comin'! Luv and thx from California and Chicago.

Nope you're not the only one. That host really rubbed me the wrong way.

My fingers are bleeding from just listening to this.

That was a great one Patrol Gaming😄. It makes me sad in a way because it reminds me just how much I miss the late, great Stevie Ray Vaughan 😪. You mentioned the Allman Brothers Band near the end of this reaction video, and I recently watched your reaction to their song "Whipping Post". Did you know that guitarist Duane Allman and bassist Berry Oakley were both tragically killed about 1 year apart, and about 3 blocks from one another in motorcycle accidents? I was fortunate enough to see them live 2 times. The last time I saw them was a show at the Minnesota State Fair. They were fantastic 😄. That particular version of the band featured Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes on guitars, and they tore the place down!!! Derek Trucks is the nephew of Butch Trucks, who was one of the original drummers of the Allman Brothers Band. On that MTV show with SRV, Joe Satriani also appeared ... I'm waiting for your reaction to Satriani's live version of his instrumental song "Always with Me, Always with You"😊. And yes, that Jules guy on that MTV show was a dick😝. Thanks for the great reaction videos💖.

SRV play anything man. 6 string, 12, anything

What a WIZARD!

Love and respect!!!🙌

Hope you noticed that his eyes were closed during most if not all of this performance. Looks like he's watching his hands, but there was no need!

SRV.... UNPLUGGED & FRICKIN' AWESOME ✌😎

12 string. GOAT

Gotta check out SRV “look at little sister”

First one was channelling Django Reinhardt, the legendary jazz guitar player

"Stevie's gotta go catch an airplane" when he said that, we all were thinking "ugh....fuck."

this is the god of bleus ! SRV

You're right that guy should have been introducing Brittany not SRV

As mario said below, its a 12 string and the song is called "Rude Mood"

Please react SRV one nigth in Texas, pride and joy

Yes Jules Scher was obnoxious. Also it was eerie that Stevie had a flight to catch. But all that aside, it continues to amaze me how he took an acoustic 12 string and electrified it with this playing dexterity to the point where it sounded like an electric guitar.

He opened for Joe Satriani in this episode. I recall watching and the crowd was amazed. Not to take anything away from Joe but after this.....his work was less than exciting.

Tell me he ain't the GOAT...if you try, you'll get a black eye!!! 😂😂😂😂 Keep it light, and toke on!!!!!

Check "life by the drop" album version or from this same show, awwwsum either way

he cracked the neck on that guitar

Dont know if youve scoped out SRV and his brother Jimmy doing pipeline.Do it!

He shared the bill on the same show with Joe Satriani. You can google Joe. He is considered up there with Stevie just a different genre. He's good but my preference is Stevie. Joe Satriani and Steve Vai were older than me but went to my HS. Great guys but love SRV.

Lol, everyone on MTV WAS A DICK! They killed the radio star. SRV is missed forever in my book.

I vote "Big Dick" also!! I watched it when it aired originally and thought the same thing then. Can you believe he had the balls to get up on the same stage with his little git box slung over his shoulder?

Back when #MTV was entertaining.

Dude (bloke) you play some super music....keep it up the numbers will certainly grow if you keep playing great music like Stevie Ray and others....Southern soul, blues, country and gospel are all great no matter the race of the entertainer....one suggestion, look into some Al Green from back in the day....middle aged people such as myself and millennials need to learn what soul music was like when Black men and women actually sang songs instead of rapping them....a whole generation of todays kids don't have a clue how great Al Green, Johnny Cash, The BAND, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker Band were in their day, the days when there wasn't a machine that put your voice in perfect tone, it was done by talent and talent alone

Hey brother, would you do tightrope in Austin city limits? It is said to be one of the best srv performances of all time.

Twelve string and doesn't read or write music. The GOAT.

💕 💞 💓 💗 💖

I thought the MTV guy was Pauly Shore before he said his name ( and talked )

The host looks like he'd done a couple of really big lines backstage.

the host name of the MTV show was Pauly Shore he was a he's been a stand-up Comedian and everything else actor and everything and yeah I thought he disrespected Stevie Ray too

All that on a 12-string.

I hope you appreciate he never bent a note.

Since you like SRV maybe you can listen to his european "counterpart" : Gary Moore - The Messiah Will Come Again

Play tommy Emmanuel guitar boogie Stevie blues from 2006 from your side of the pond

Yes, I did! He was a real jerk. SRV, though! Texas Proud Legend! Of course, being from Texas, I will hold him at a high level as it is. ❤️ Maybe the host didn’t like people from Texas? Well, THIS Texan doesn’t like him, either...

Check out Papa Chubby plying Hey Joe.

If you want to see a great crowd reaction Rush YYZ live in Rio

please react to Hey Joe by Jimi Hendrix. you'll love it.

Yes, MTV guy was a dick. He tried to mention Joe Satriani every chance he got. Don't get me wrong, I love Joe Satriani, but you have to respect the GOAT (SRV).

Yes my man, completely agree... That compare was a complete dick wasn't he... :) "A little bit of SRV" too true.

Rude mood pride and joy and testify

MTV we’re dicks and joe satriany almost walked off cause Stevie outclassed him big time

The dorks name is Pauly Shore, a.k.a. "The Weasel".

here's the link you're looking for ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MLQTbmUYI4Ao.htmlr

I know how late this to Comments-land this is but....God just what I thought...that guy was a douchy thing. Step away from the Stevie & excuse yourself.
