Teen Reacts To Stevie Ray Vaughan - Voodoo Child!!! 

I’ll never forget the day he passed. I was crushed… still am. RIP Stevie Ray ❤️

One of the great joys in this world is watching SRV for the first time. Second to that is watching someone watch SRV for the first time.

Congrats on finding the legend of all - Stevie is like none other. "Texas Flood" Live at El Mocambo IS THE ONE - period - full stop. If you want to skip to arguably the greatest guitar performance ever recorded, that would be it. Always respect to the tons of amazing players and to each listener and what they like so in the end you may find your own favorite, but no doubt, if you want your mind blown into the next state or country, check the El Mocambo 'Texas Flood' Live - SRV is like opening a box of dozens and dozens of videos that will melt your face off, so welcome to this wonderful Universe! Thanks for sharing it man!

Amazing guitarist and a proper homage to Jimi

“When does it stop getting better?“ Right now. Stevie Ray Vaughan is the GOAT. Great video BTW.

🤠 "At what point do the guitar solos keep getting better?" This point! SRV! 🎸💙

There will only one SRV. The GOAT of Texas blues

More Stevie please. Check out Live at El Machambo. It will blow your mind!

"Texas Flood" Live at El Mocambo, yes SRV does have some great solos. lol

The word you are looking for is Bending. This was from his second and last appearance on Austin City Limits. You should watch the whole thing.

SRV is not only the GOAT on guitar but just about the coolest person to ever walk the face of the earth. Get ready 'cause even though he died too young, he has an extensive catalog--all great. "Texas Flood" live at the El Mocambo is probably next on the list--then "Little Wing" from the same show--and then there is more.

I am 64 years old now and a big fan. Wenn he plays solo it goes in front in your body and goes out in the back...so intens that it makes me cry every time again. He blows your mind and soul. I am a blues drummer myself playing with such a guy must be heaven. R.I.P Stevie.

Your 'stank' face says it all and for a young person's first reaction to SRV it is a testimony to the incredible talent that was SRV! He is without a doubt the 'GOAT'. He takes a timeless classic from Jimi Hendrix and makes it his own! I have argued that this was even better than Jimi's. He was inspired by Jimi and what a tribute!! Thank you for your honest reaction to the legendary!! SRV

Awesome reaction bro...Next up "Texas Flood" live from El Mocambo...this man will truly blow your mind with his guitar work. A Must Watch my bro. 💯💯%🔥🔥🔥

RIP Stevie....he was the GOAT....you are loved and missed!❤❤❤❤❤

Young Blood , SRV, Texas Flood live at El Mocambo is a MUST!!!!

This is my second favorite SRV video. First on my list is "Texas Flood" Live at the El Mocambo. Basically 9-1/2 minutes of solo! And he sings his ass off!

Him and Jimi Hendrix are masters of guitar. RIP both of them

Dude he is a live performer....period! Records are great, but man live, he excels!

The GOAT of GOATS...PERIOD! Dude you got to check out all his stuff! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

If you want the top-notch solo, you need to watch SRV doing Texas Flood. you won't be disappointed.

Stevie was always best live. Such a humble guy too, loved meeting his fans and talking with them.

Texas Flood Live from El Mocambo is a must.

You are watching the greatest guitarist to ever walk on this planet, or ever will.

One of the best rabbit holes to go down. I bought a guitar shortly after hearing SRV ~3 years ago, and its changed my life forever. Check out more of the live stuff if you get a chance! Little Wing @ the El Mocambo is solid.

He is, and will always be the G.O.A.T. No one will match the talent he had. Ever...RIP SRV..

One of the best covers of the 1968 Jimi Hendrix hit Voodoo Child done by SRV and Double Trouble in 1984. Nice pick!

You should check out Texas Flood live at Mocambo, Life Without You live at Capitol Center and Scuttle Buttin live in Montreux for some fantastic introduction to SRV!

You need to watch Look at Little Sister from this same show, Austin City Limits, from 1989...you will see how a master handles a broken string in the middle of a performance!! Yesterday 10/3 was Steve's birthday. Being from the Dallas area, Stevie is our boy!!!

🙌👏🙌‼️Welcome to the wonderful world of this incredibly talented artist. Stevie is self taught, started playing at age 7, never learned to read music and set the world on fire🔥 with his brilliance✨🌟⭐️. Still is! As a matter of fact his fan base just keeps growing in part by reactors such as yourself reacting to him and introducing him to new generations to discover. Great job and please keep going🎸🎶‼️

Now is time to react to another two SRV epic live performances: "Texas Flood" ( Live at the El Mocambo), and "Life Without You" (Live at Capitol Theatre 9/21/1985). For other astonishing guitar solos check: 1. Lynyrd Skynyrd - "Freebird" (Live at Oakland Coliseum Stadium, 7/2/1977); 2. Rory Gallagher - "Shadow Play" (Live at Montreux" Music Festival in Switzerland 1979); 3. Deep Purple - "Child in Time" (Live on the British TV show "Doing Their Thing", 1970) - guitar solo by Ritchie Blackmore; 4. Thin Lizzy - "The Rocker" (Studio long version from the album "Vagabonds of the Western World") - guitar solo by Eric Bell; 5. Dire Straits - "Sultans of Swing" ("Love over Gold Tour", 1983 - "Alchemy" live album) - guitar solo by Mark Knopfler; 6. Ten Years After - "I Can't Keep from Crying" (Recorded Live: 8/4/1975 - Winterland - San Francisco, CA) - guitar solo by Alvin Lee; 7. Ted Nugent - "Great White Buffalo" (Full Bluntal Nugity Live); 8. Eagles - Hotel California (Live in Washington D.C, March 1977).

By God man; follow this rabbit hole. An American master. This entire Austin City Limits show is perfect. Live at the El Macambo is another.

So glad to see SRVs music and performances living on with young people. I enjoyed your reaction! I was fortunate to experience SRV and DT perform 8 times before he passed. Always an amazing experience and it was a dark dark day in August 1990... As others have suggested Texas Flood at El Mocambo is a MUST. It arguably is the greatest electric blues performance on video. I also highly recommend Life Without You at Capital Theatre. It really shows Stevie's heart and guitar magicianship. Many others after those!

Ok, you and your girl should check out his hit TEXAS FLOOD. It will leave you speechless. Also you both should do a Scorpions 🦂 reaction to their Killer Rock Power Ballads - ALWAYS SOMEWHERE or NO ONE LIKE YOU. Both have everything you'd want in Rock Ballad, epic guitars 🎸, haunting vocals and yeah, they SLAM! 💯😎💣💥☮️😉

This performance was from an appearance on "Austin City Limits", a long-running music show on PBS. You've got Tommy Shannon on bass, and that's Chris Layton on drums. Chris is currently on tour with Kenny Wayne Shephard. Later, Reese Wynans was added to the band, on keyboards. Reese is with Joe Bonamassa now. You should check out Joe; another great blues guitarist.

SILAS, you need to watch “One Night In Texas 1989” on RU-vid, which is the show this performance is from. In October 1989 Stevie Ray Vaughan and his band, Double Trouble, were on the long running concert tv show Austin City Limits (Austin was also his hometown) and played several blistering songs. His concerts were usually over 2 hours, but the tv show was a half hour. The last song is “Voodoo Child”, but you’ll see from the start of the show that he was one of the all-time greats.

SRV is indeed a blues guitar LEGEND - as someone already commented below, if you liked this wait until you (see) him play ->"Texas Flood-Live at the El-Mocambo"< - its probably the top blues guitar performance ever recorded. And theres tons more SRV video to enjoy, just keep going as there is much to see of the great SRV

Enjoy your discovery of SRV. He also had a kick-ass rhythm section -- Chris Whipper Layton on drums and Tommy Shannon on bass. Then he added Reese Wynans on keys and they really took off.

SRV is truly one of the greatest. a big rabbit hole to go down. Also, I've noticed it in the Led Zeppelin reactions which I'm about halfway through those, and then in this new one, it would be awesome if you could get the playback volume for the audio content of the performance up louder in relation to your microphone. In order to get the full effect of the music, I have to crank my volume all the way up but then it makes your voice in the microphone way too loud so I have to keep riding the volume up and down. Also, as a multi instrumentalist for years and years now, I highly encourage everyone to learn a musical instrument. And you mentioned guitar, but just watching you in these reactions including this one, you have such an intuitive feeling for what's happening with the bass and drums (even though like most reactors you don't really normally notice the bass when it's just doing its job - for example in this one, when the drummer is doing those amazing fills, if you listen, the bass is doing these upward runs high in its register before going way back down low to punch you in the gut for the next downbeat). And those are the only three layers in this one, but I just have a feeling you would really love to play drums. You would really dig it. I think another Stevie Ray Vaughan live video that would be awesome for you is the live version of Crossfire. In that he's got his larger band, with this organ and even some horns to go with these three primary layers, four if you include his voice. And that song just rocks, and it's got great lyrics too.

You said it. YEARS of practice. And PASSION. Stevie Ray Vaughn never lets us down. This isn't music to which you listen; it's music that you FEEL in the depths of your body and soul. That's what blues is all about, baby.

"It stops getting better" with Stevie. There is no one better. SRV = THE G.O.A.T.

Been saying SRV is the ONE guitarist you NEED to react to - I had suggested Texas Flood at El Macambo but I'd actually say doing a few other songs from him like Mary had a little lamb before that because once you've been to the mountain top it's all downhill from there. IMO SRV doing Texas Flood live at El Macambo is the TOP of any guitar performance ever done.

This song was originally done by Jimi Hendrix, who is definitely an influence of Stevie's. You should check that out sometime. And if you check out Stevie's song Texas Flood, he does something with the guitar that will blow your mind. I don't want to spoil it, but trust me. Check out the El Macombo performance. I saw Stevie Ray live back in the day and he was playing that same guitar with his initials on it. Truly one of the greats, taken too soon, as was Hendrix.

Stevie started playing at age 7. Never learned to read music. His big brother Jimmie (Fabulous Thunderbirds) taught him a few things, but was mostly self-taught. Listened to mostly older blues artists, but loved Hendrix, hence several of Jimi's covers.

You won't find much better than this. He has been considered the best guitarist (along with Jimi Hendrix) over the past 60 years. Dude was a freaking wizard!

The great ones always do it effortlessly. Just like the master of any other art. Don't think, just be the guitar. Too bad many of the great ones die too young, like his inspiration, Jimi Hendrix. And as you can see Stevie does it full justice.

Stevie should always be reacted to live, not studio. "Life Without You" live from the Capitol theater and "Texas Flood" live from el Mocambo should be next.

considering how much you love the guitar, you really should react to Gary Moore, Parisienne Walkways, live at Montreaux, 2010. there are many versions of it, but THIS one is by far the best.

Tommy Shannon on bass, Chris Layton on drums, and the "GOAT" on lead Stevie Ray Vaughan, when Voodoo Child was recorded Doyle Brammill had already left the band Stevie started playing at age six, it is really refreshing to see the younger crowd in to this music...

You mentioned the drummer. Chris Layton. He and Tommy Shannon make up Double Trouble. Possibly the best rhythm section around. Tommy also played bass for the great Johnny Winter. Check out some Johnny Winter. If you like Stevie, you'll love Johnny.

Suggesting Life without you. Live at the Capitol Center in Passaic NJ. Love your reactions Silas!

I first saw him a few times at a small club called The Rome Inn when I lived in Austin. This was before he hit it big. I got to see him one last time in Dallas with Jeff Beck less than a year before he died. Imagine what he could have done.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Stevie!

He is the best. So much for you to discover. I suggest you dive into this artist. You won't be disappointed

Excellent choice young man, doesn't get better than SRV. Don't stop the journey. Texas Flood a must. Subscribed just because of Stevie RIP ❤️

Of course, Stevie and David (Gilmour) have different styles, but are both extremely talented. Stevie is mainly a blues player and was heavily influenced by Hendrix. He even had one of Jimi's wah pedals. Also, David has one of Jimi's guitar straps given to him by his wife. All great guitarists highly admire Jimi Hendrix. This song is a Hendrix cover, and is actually Voodoo Child Slight Return. The long version of the song, Voodoo Chile, is on Jimi's album "Electric Ladyland." Lyrics go: "If I don't see you no more in this world, I'll meet you in the next one and don't be late." R.I.P. Jimi and SRV.

Saw SRV 3x...once in 86? at the Orpheum in Memphis. Walked out playing Skuttlebuttin'

Nobody, and I include all when I say nobody can touch SRV on the guitar. Check out anything from Live at the El Mocambo and you will never be the same....that is just a simple fact! he NEVER fudges a note EVER!

Stevie Ray Vaughan was one of the ones born to this.

True story: some of the people at this performance, who were too close to the stage, had their FACES melted! No cap! 😁

I was at Stevie Ray Vaughn's last concert the night his helicopter crashed after the show at Alpine Valley, Wisconsin. The lineup was Eric Clapton, SRV, Robert Cray and Buddy Guy. I remember leaving after the show and saying to myself that I would never miss another SRV concert if he was ever in my area again. Sadly I never had that opportunity.

I love how everyone knows what to recommend next, Texas Flood Live at El Macombo, without giving away the surprises...SRV always live performances, he'll never let you down

The man who was a guitar. His helicopter went down in my state Wisconsin Alpine Valley. This man was effortlessly perfection in his craft. Vicki

I was lucky enough to see SRV at the Illinois State Fair Grandstands in late August / early September of 1988 and it was an amazing outdoor show. His brother Jimmy Vaughn's band, The Fabulous Thunderbirds were the opening act. Jimmy even came out for a few songs with his brother during Stevie's main act. Rest in peace, Stevie Ray...

Check out Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble live at the El Macombo “Texas flood”😊

Jimi and Stevie are playing together in guitar heaven. 😎🎵🎶🎵🦘

Life Without You at the Capitol theatre in in Passaic NJ written for his friend Charley Wirz who was a mentor and helped Stevie in how he designed his guitars and who died of a heart attack. Best vocal, great solo and great message. You won't be disappointed.

The BEST there ever was. I was with him at Alpine the night he died. Alpine is five minutes from my home. I was backstage both nights. Epic performer ANY nite he stepped onstage.

For Stevie, check out his song Texas Flood to see how the Blues is done right!

You have to check out SRV's Texas Flood live from El Mocambo!

There are so many rabbit holes to go down for guitar gods from that era. Stevie, Hendrix, Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jeff Healy just to name a few

There are many number 1s . Most of these amazing musicians were born already Knowing how to play. They have that special gift of music 🎶 destination for greatness

"Texas Flood" Live at El Mocambo IS THE ONE - period - full stop. This should definitely be your next reaction video.

I was lucky enough to see him in concert in 1984

Best guitarist to ever live. Watch Texas Flood live at the el Mocombo for one. Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland is another favorite. He has soooo many live recordings. A session he did with Albert King is phenomenal! All live, never do studio.

smile stank face smile stank face smile... Great reaction-keep em up.

Ditto on the Texas Flood Live performance. Clean recording and Stevie is on fire. Thank you Silas.

Youve got much new discovery and enjoyment ahead of you, Stevie Ray Vaughan has many great songs and some with even better playing that you saw here, I saw him live twice and SO glad I did-!!

What a great guitar player he was rip legend

Happy Birthday SRV

300th comment. Congratulations on finding SRV. I saw him twice live, the second time shortly before he died. I was devastated when he went. He was keeping blues alive almost single handed.

What I think is impressive is he takes one of the most famous and complex Hendrix tracks and then makes it his own and then on top of that plays it up tempo

Stevie Ray Vaughan , the only one that can make 13 gauge guitar strings bend like there 10 gauge guitar strings .

Go down the rabbit hole son and ye shall enjoy . Welcome to SRV . El Mocambo show next please 🥰🥰🥰🙏

One of the best guitar shredders to ever walk the earth. Quite a trip if you got down the SRV rabbit hole, Silas! Like others here, I recommend his "Texas Flood" performance live at El Mocambo; you'll freak out, plus it's a longer song for more aural pleasure. Gotta give applause to SRV's combo, Double Trouble: Tommy Shannon (bass, played many years with another Texan guitar wunderkind, Johnny Winter, who you might want to look up), and Chris Layton on drums (still another Texan). Wonder who inherited Stevie's guitar(s) when he died; I certainly hope somebody who can play them well; and I also hope they're not sitting idle in somebody's closet or in some corner of a vacant studio. Anybody know? Hey Silas! You're pretty good at the "stank face," just like SRV!

Congratulation! You have found the master of blues guitar! You probably won't find a better guitar player !

"Stevie was 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 live onstage with him before want to quit"...........................Eric Clapton.

If you are liking what you are hearing, you should check out: Dirty Pool Live at Montreaux 1982; Tin Pan Alley Live at Montreaux 1985 with Johnny Copeland; Riviera Paradise, Mary Had a Little Lamb, Tightrope, Crossfire, Look at Little Sister, Couldn't Stand the Weather all Live at Austin 1989; Love Struck Baby, Ain't Gonna Give Up On Love Live at Daytona Beach 1987; Life Without You Live at Nashville 1987 ( a lot of people recommend the Capitol Theater version of this song, but after getting clean and sober the message in Nashville is closer to his heart).

If you haven't realized it already, you can definitely call yourself fan of the Blues. Great reaction. 😊✌💙

Simply the best!

The best guitar player or solo boils down to personal taste when comparing top notch players. Some of the most technically proficient and fast players, while extremely talented, simlply aren't my favorites. Stevie Ray is right up there with the best, no doubt. But David Gilmour's solos really touch my soul and move me.

It's art, man. What's better will often depend on how you feel in the moment. That's the cool thing about it.

he is change 40 solo in a row !!! best player in the world i think !!!

I was lucky enough to see Stevie twice. Amazing performer! The intricate stuff largely becomes muscle memory, and if possible, it's better to stay relaxed when you're playing. When you tighten up, you don't move as naturally, and your rhythm gets off.

BWAHAHAHA...dude, I'm a 57 year old white man living in the mountains of north GA and your reactions are the best ( no homo) but I love the way you laugh and say yo! It's like..."h h he he HYO" ! it's hilarious! Keep it up bruh!

I just LOVE to watch young kids reacting to great music. You should check out him and Johnny Copeland playing Tin Pan Alley. Its a slower jam but SRV still shreds

Gary Moore and Phil Lynott "Military Man" Live 1985 Awesome guitar playing

You makin' the "stank face" SRV is makin! Awesome!

If you want to hear the BEST guitar solo you HAVE to react to Stevie Ray Vaughan's Little Wing at El Mocambo. That is best piece of music I have ever heard in my life.

Stevie is using Jimi's wawa peddle here, the family gave it to him. SRV gets all the credit, but Tommy and Chris are in top form here as well.
