Next: SRV, "Tin Pan Alley", live with Johnny Copeland. The grittiest blues you will ever hear, performed by two artists showing each other much respect, but at the same time, neither holding anything back. And you get to hear Stevie singing with real feeling. What more do you want?! :)
This. Tin Pan Alley, with Johnny Copeland is a MUST. You want some blues that you'd hear behind the liquor store from some grizzled old guy with a bottle of the good stuff inside a paper bag, that's the one to hear!
The keyboard player is absolutely murdering it.... Stevie must have thought he died and went to heaven having him in his band...what a great player ....WOW...
The song was written by Buddy Guy, one of SRV's guitar heroes. Buddy inspired everyone from Clapton to Peter Green to Stevie Ray. He's still touring at the age of 86!
I saw an interview with Chris Layton (drummer for SRV) where he said that most performers have stage clothes and everyday clothes. SRV dressed the same way all the time.
I love how Stevie smiles, grabs a new guitar pick, gives it a kiss, then goes into another insane solo. I’m so glad that he got cleaned up and was high on life and enjoying sobriety. RIP SRV!
You want to hear him sing? Again, at this Austin TX performance you'd love 1) Crossfire, 2) Tightrope, and 3) Couldn't Stand the Weather ( the second guitar solo on that one is mind blowing).
Jon Lord was the great organ/keyboardist for Deep Purple. r I p, Reese Wynans was the keyboardist in this video for Double Trouble, he is currently playing with Joe Bonamassa 🔥
George Duke, who played the keys for Frank Zappa, he was the best I’ve ever seen, go check out ‘Inca Roads’ to see him in action. …his voice was awesome too, but then everyone who played with Frank was a maestro of his or her instrument, Ruth Underwood comes to mind.
Srv sings a song ain't gone n give up on love from capital theater also from capital theater couldn't stand the weather reese is great in that one to check it out
SRV is the original. There's not a bad performance in his collection. GOAT BY FAR ! I have been a fan since 1980 and I appreciate him more the older I get !
You’ve commented about the audience…When seeing Stevie live, you are literally paralyzed-hypnotized…I just stared, captivated and scared if I blinked, I’de miss something. One thing I remember the most is his hands losing all color, turning completely grey from the lack of circulation. No matter how many times I see these videos…I cry.
This was after he got clean and sober. I love these later performances much more than the El Mocambo gig that people rave about. In his biography, "Texas Flood," they say SRV didn't think he could sing, and usually closed his eyes when he did.
Thanks, MMB - every time Reese solos, you will see that at the end he raises his left hand - showing he's "out".. .SRV always gives him great credit -- lol
Jimmy Heendrix, Stevie Ray, Vaughan, Eric Clapton, Steve Vai, and so many other demi-god legends that are on the Olympus of guitar playing are unmatched and unforgettable
There's something I noticed about this song. On the studio version he says the little lambs fleece was white as snow. But if you listen in this live version he says the little lambs fleece was black as coal.
The absolute most emotion that I’ve seen SRV display is in his performance of “leave my girl alone” live at Austin city limits 1989. Not only does his guitar evoke such attitude, but his vocals do just as much. It’s a must watch
Albert King recorded that the year I was born, it's my favorite song and it turns out that it's also the theme song to my life lmao! Excellent suggestion by the way, Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan in Session should not be missed by anyone, ever!
@@deannacrownover3 I remember the original version from childhood and thinking “how sad “ and I loved it. I didn’t hear of “In Session “ until a some years ago thanks to RU-vid and I adore it.
Oh, yes, Stevie can sing like an angel so sexy. His guitar work is off The chain Reese's keyboards are off the chain. Just an absolute beautiful song. Mary Had a Little Lamb. Thank you so much. Love you sooo much for jamming him🥰 You might. Want to check out? When the house is rocking or Pride and joy, Superstition is covered by a Stevie Wonder that Stevie did, Cold shot is another great song or Look at little sister! ❤ All Great !!! Love you show, love your reactions and love you too. God bless🙏 Rock On and rock hard.🤘🤟👍👍🫶✌️ Stank face Maximus every time.🥰😘
Had same-day surgery yesterday for carpal tunnel repair... for which I was awake with my arm numbed. One of the nurses asked me what music would I like to listen to. "STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN!" I said, without missing a beat. And she cued up a playlist. After the surgery, someone on the other side of the room said, "Now, THIS is what we should have playing all the time in here! Great pick!" It's proof that SRV can rock any room, even an operating room.
I love hearing Stevie and watching him but my oh my he's exhausting! I get worn out and HE is doing all the work. Crazy right? I wish I could remember the place for link where he broke a sting mid play and his back-up came and hooked him up like nothing happened and he just kept playing, so smooooooth!
Stevie was the GOAT! His emotions flowed out thru his playing and nothing about him was rehearsed. Personally he was a very humble man never letting fame or money change him. He always held his blues hero's above himself and talked about them constantly. Stevie brought back the blues in the eighties and recharged many great blues guitar players careers when he played with them he never tried to steal the spotlight from them. We lost a legend the day he died.
Hendrix was an amazing composer, and a great player. Stevie is a better singer, and plays better. He just doesn't have as wide a scope to paint with that Hendrix did. Eddie Van Halen was a totally different kind of g.o.a.t. , different style of playing. There are about 2 dozen guitarists in rock that are all so in tune with their instrument through thousands of hours of noodling on the guitar at home on Friday and Saturday nights to learn their voice. And I can't think of 1 great guitarist that actually reads music, it is all by ear, and learning the scale positions, over and over and over.
The grown up version of a fav nursery rhyme. Let’s just say when the babies are down, mama and daddy can rock out! Hands down to Reese too, he is to the keys as to what SRV with the guitar!!!
13:20 It's impressive how he plays the lick and release the face at the same time. His body is in total and complete synch with the guitar and the song.
If you wanna hear his voice more listen to pride and joy unplugged on MTV plays a 12 string acoustic aswell but his voice is so clear and strong 🤘 watch the full unplugged show to be mind blown
Damn straight this man can sing! I freaking love his voice. Really unique, it's rough and smooth at the same time. Reese is just phenomenal, those fingers were made for keys. Try Dirty Pool (Montreux) and Leave my little girl Alone. Also, Cold Shot, and rarely requested, Change It, from Live Alive. ☮️to all
The thing I love about, man, is that amongst all the people I've watched on RU-vid react to music videos, you seem to really respond from gut level. Real-man stuff, not critical analysis or formal musical breakdown. Just real-guy reaction. Love that about you. Because that's where the rest of us are.
Stevie used to say when he first started singing it was like pulling teeth I guess he thought he didn't sing that good and was shy, but, just like his guitar playing his voice to as so special together they were the perfect match.
That 16th note strumming groove is just one of my absolute favorite things in all of blues guitar. It's amazingly fun, especially with a drummer, and bass player.
If you want a song that you can really hear Stevie Ray Vaughan sing, you need to listen to " Life by the drop " it is an incredible song. Since you have started a journey of great guitar players, you need to check out my top 10 of Guitar players. ( not in any order ) not counting Hendrix, SRV. 1. Rory Gallagher, 2. Gary Moore, 3. Roy Buchanan, 4. Joe Bonamassa, 5. Gary Clark Jr, 6. Duane Allman, 7. Albert King, 8. Derek Trucks, 9. Samantha Fish, 10. Lonnie Mack. Honorable mention..... Slash ( who also preformed The Star Spangled Banner) Walter Trout, Jimmy Vaughan, Carolyn Wonderland, and so many more... As a guitar player and a fan of guitar players I get a bit carried away, sorry... LOL
Hendrix was the innovator…Stevie was heavily influenced by his playing AND his sense of style…no one can deny that…Stevie took it to another level, but Hendrix should always be looked at as a pioneer in so many ways
Outstanding reaction! Loved it! I see Nick Crisp has put you on to Tin Pan Alley.......I can't wait until you react to that! We are so lucky to have that performance caught on video. You won't find a better version of Texas dirty pool blues. Be prepared to be blown away all over again. Since I missed the opportunity to introduce you to that..... May i interest you in another texas "Rock blues" group? Recently their bassist passed, but to that point they were together preforming for over 50 years... they are in their "70's" but I promise you (even with the replacement bassist) they STILL blow it up today. They have 50 years of music... So let me offer a video of them at 70 + years old... then you will see another hidden legend from Texas. here is a link to them live at gruene hall texas.... just practicing. The song is "Brown Sugar" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-h50eAv9tjvA.html
Stevie is Stevie and there'll never be another guitar slinger like him come this way in our lifetimes. But I gotta give some love to his band, Double Trouble. The quintessential definition of living in the pocket in perpetuity. Chris Layton - Drums Tommy Shannon - Bass Reese Wynans - Keyboard Double Trouble was already a phenomenal collection of top shelf musicians with just Layton and Shannon but when they added Wynans in '85, this band left no roof intact. Such an unimaginable collection of talent that had nothing but the sky as its limit. Stevie's death left us all with a deep hole in our music-loving hearts, but I cannot imagine how much pain these guys had to work through. RIP slinger. No one did it better.
While Jimmy was a genius, Stevie was a master. Both GOATs in their own rights. Stevies voice has been described as "Honey poured over gravel." If you want to hear him sing, do "Texas Flood" live at El Mocambo.
If you click on his name "MMBxMOB" under the title of the video, you'll see that he reacted to "Texas Flood" live at El Mocambo 2 weeks ago. It was the first reaction I heard him do!
You want to hear him sing?? Do LIFE WITHOUT YOU, YOU BETTER LEAVE MY LITTLE GIRL ALONE, LOVE STRUCK, LOOK AT LITTLE SISTER,.. ( there is a string break he changes guitar mid song. NEVER MISSED A BEAT!) That one is in LIVE AUSTIN CITY LIMITS..
If you want to see SRV push his guitar to the limits you need to check out Third Stone From the Sun live at El Mocambo. Don’t expect any vocals, but his rendition of the Jimi Hendrix song is amazing!
It's a joy to see your joy! I highly recommend you watch the performance of Riviera Paradise from this same show on Austin, Texas. However, as much as I'd enjoy viewing your reaction, it would be a shame to interrupt the flow of this deeply touching instrumental. Let it just flow into you. He introduces the song by dedicating it to "anyone who is suffering any way". And it perfectly fulfills that mission.
8:25 "Just give me a second, I'm coming. Just give me a second." That's what she said! #groan. Yes I know. But I couldn't resist. Yeah man I only know this off that first album. And I love it it's just a very short song but it's so beautiful and it totally is it send up of the little children's song that we all learn you know. And it has one of the greatest riffs in the world to it. I often recommend it and I've never seen anybody react to it possibly because it's too short. But man I didn't even know this life footage of that existed. So thank you very much for opening this up for me man I'm loving it.
We were surfing around the TV last night and came across your RU-vid Channel. To say we enjoyed watching about a dozen of your react videos would be an understatement. We thoroughly enjoy your videos. We are HUGE SRV fans!
