He said "Lost my tooth."

I took LSD 250 and completely lost my mind. 10 hours later I just sit in taxi and took my ass to the most beautiful place in my city (Moscow). I walked ~2 hours just listening this live version and completely understood that our live is just place where we struggling, hurting and winning. I just want you to know, that yall not supposed to be afraid of your life conditions. As Stevie sayed, we have 1 chance in this live to get over here, so God gives us chance to LIVE this pain and to get free. So all of our situations in life only for understanding the law of karma. That’s so deep. I think the people can listen this masterpiece for 1000+ times and took their mind to the other demension. Peace for all of you, guys. We got some hard times, so we need some MIND CONNECTIONS, please DREAM, CREATE, WORK… Just do, what you want/supposed to do, people. I love yall. ❤️

The Texas Guitar Slinger. Never to be replicated or duplicated. RIP SRV

After Stevie plays the guitar with his teeth...you will see him look down..and when he looks over he says..."I lost my tooth" and then he will say "it's gone"...love , love SRV

The greatest of all time in my humble opinion, a genius of his craft.

I was fortunate enough to be at this Show and to meet Stevie later that year, Never forget it or him.

I’m can’t help get emotional watching SRV. His whole soul is always out there when he plays.

Thanks for doing my request. Every time I watch that I'm amazed. Everything from switching guitars in the beginning without missing a beat to his overflowing emotional outpouring. Absolutely the best in my opinion. Thanks Michael

Just the best. Tuning issues? No sweat. We have the VIBE. #srvforlife

This is the best version of this band. The addition of Reese, SRV being sober and full of love and the blues. Left us way too soon.

That performance is what you call giving everything to everyone. What a great human being.

SRV and Derek Trucks were blessed, by whatever form of God you believe in, with the ability to effortlessly communicate emotion like no other through the guitar. Absolutely amazing.

I remember riding in my older brother's truck (with a 3 on the tree that I didn't understand) and the DJ announced that Stevie Ray Vaughan died in a helicopter crash last night. My brother let out some sort of a NOOO! and I asked who he was. My brother wasn't a waterworks kind of guy, but I did see some tears pool up in his eyes. When we got to his house, he played this song on CD, and my love of Stevie Ray was born. Before my brother died, I told him I love him and thank you for introducing me to Stevie's music.

My favorite SRV song. When he's in one of these intense solos I think the building could be on fire and he wouldn't notice

This is my favorite SRV song. Live at montreux is a smoking version. And live at the el mocambo gives me goosebumps. His guitar is plugged into his heart and then goes to the amp.

SRV is an absolute legend that showcases what comes from feeling the music vs orchestrating it. Raw emotion on his guitar and through his voice.

He is saying " i lost a tooth" n you see him looking for it. Brilliant reaction/breakdown tho. Love it

Stevie was just flat out unreal.....

Another one of my favorite Stevie performances. That guitar was custom made by Charlie Wirz, his former woodworking shop teacher that let Stevie work on his guitar during class, later turned guitar shop owner. The art work on the back is a hula girl! Stevie wrote this song for Charle after his passing! The irony in this is that it seems he wtote his own eulogy. Stevie figured out the true meaning of life is love before he passed at age 35. It took me until age 55 to figure it out. Im going to be 63 in 3 days. I saw Stevie, Double Trouble, BB King and surprise guest Lonnie Mack on New Year's Eve Dec 31, 1986, ringing in 1987 at the Fabulous Fox Theater in Atlanta, GA. Best performance and show ever! Straight out of rehab he introduced himself as Mr. Clean! I think he's the best! No. 1 in my book everyday of the week when he was alive and i still do all these years after his passing in 1990. I love the little speeches he does on the break during his live performances. "Love is all you're born with. Love is the only thing you can take with you when you leave here. You better spread as much love around as you can while you're here." SRV ❤

He said Tooth, he chipped a tooth during that performance and he also swapped guitars mid song at the beginning without missing a beat. That wasn’t a strap swap, it was a whole guitar swap

#1 most emotional performance: anytime SRV plays Life Without You.

So glad to see more SRV. Never get tired of the goat!!

The greatest to ever pick up a guitar! SRV!

Unsurpassed Blues Legend,not to mention for the wonderful human being!❤️🎸

This is the song that brought me to the electric guitar.

My God, Stevie was a goat!!

My favorite SRV solo, every live performance of it is different yet magical and better than the recording. Especially when this song was dedicated to his friend's memory (the same friend who built the lipstick pickup guitar he plays this song on) and he would always give a speech in between melting faces on the importance of love, being present, and later his sobriety. For easy listening on Spotify the "Live at Montreaux Casino July 1985" is probably the best guitar solo I have ever heard.

It's a beautiful thing. I feel blessed to have been born and alive at the same time as SRV. Words can't really articulate the amazing player he was. Bombastic with the touch of a butterfly. Soul, in a word. RIP SRV. We love you.

I was very fortunate to see SRV on August 26th 1990!

My 🐐 goat! Thanks

You missed the entire guitar swap in the beginning. He just keeps on going like the amazing performer he is!!!

"Find one thing that works and sell the piss out of it!" 👍 SRV did it like no other.

This performance is stellar on all levels as if SRV is anything but stellar

MP, your enthusiasm, passion & love for music , synchs perfectly with SRV’s vibe & essence! Appreciate You & the channel!!

I've been an SRV fan since I was young thanks to my dad. This is my first time seeing this video somehow and I don't know if anything's moved me more.

One of your best analysis, Michael. The guitar finally said, “You win, I’m goin’ out of tune my friend. I can’t keep up”. I was fortunate enough to see him live several times. He played this song almost identical to this video. The passion is off the charts.

THAT TONE! With all the modern tech and fancy mods, nobody can reproduce that special sound SRV had obtained. A true master........

I was lucky enough too see him 10 times live, it was always like that. Just incredible

I saw him on that tour at the Arizona State Fair. Great show.

FINALLY!!! This is a top 3 request I have! I watch this almost every day haha thanks, Michael! Go Os!

I love that song, and your breakdown was beautiful. I've been playing (around) on guitar/bass for over 30 years and I've love SRV all along the way. So much more understanding of him through this reaction, which leads to greater appreciation. Thanks for doing this one.

I've been playing this song for the last year, it is my absolute fav. Stevie song. So souful and laid back. An absolute jem. Thanks for doing this vid.

He was the total package…period!

I have been waiting for your reaction to this SRV performance for awhile now. 😎

My favorite srv song!!

Great song, really good to listen to when you miss someone

Legend

He's floating between major and minor penta scale, but not just for soloing. He wrote this song around the chords that we can play OVER the first position of the minor and the near major . Oh, you just said it, 😊Anyway, great video !

a song I always site when talking about SRV as a singer❤❤❤

I love this video. One of my favorites. So glad you finally had a chance to react to it. I must have watched your Ain't Gonna Give Up on Love reaction 2 dozen times. lol SRV = The G.O.A.T.

Amen Stevie Ray!!!!! God bless America

He switched guitars like most people switch picks. SRV also spoke what he felt and it was as pure as his music.

As you know, I am a huge SRV fan. Note that the amp he jacked up is a Steel String Singer made by the late Howard Alexander Dumble. Insanely loud and clean!!

My favorite Stevie performance of this was on the riverboat. Just stunning.

Stevie RAy is PHENOMENAL

Stevie forever! Please do some SRV from when he was sober. 1988-1990. This and another SRV post of yours are from 1985 when he was the most drugged out- and he was still one of the best musicians on the planet- but his sober playing was THAT much better. Better tone, better time, better feel, better singing, so much better all around. 💙

Thanks for covering this effort by SRV. Such a fantastic song and a journey in playing emotional guitar. Cool video dude.

SRV was an animal on the strat but then could switch up and play the sweetest most melodic riffs. I think this is my favorite performance by him, raw emotion that just grips you through the screen. He ripped his tooth out he was playing so hard!! I dont think there will ever be another one quite like him

Beautiful. I love the way you love Stevie.❤

It looks like he's doing the coolest shit ever

Always loved how this one blurs the maj + min pentatonic lines. Tension, then release, confidence

Stevie and Elvis were speaking to us directly from the universal 'God' voice.

Great analysis! Yet you combined your attention to the technical with rapt appreciation for Stevie's pure expression of emotion throughout the performance. In his playing he exemplifies the triumph possible through trials, whether working with a guitar that needs to be tuned on the fly or even overhauled... or with a life that is out of tune. His message is clear. We need to learn a few things. We each are given an instrument, a life. We are not alone in our losses, our struggles, or our opportunities to make the most of what we've been given. Sometimes we are tired, hurting, missing someone who was a blessing... but in remembering the encouragement that strengthened us, we get the courage somehow to carry on, despite the things that are out of tune. Hope and resolve....free something in us, despite what tries to hold us in chains. It gives our spirit the voice we were meant to have. (BTW... if you held off just a moment more before cutting off the video, you would have heard the comment Stevie made to everyone about getting his guitar tuned. 🙂🎶🎸🙏. It wasn't long after this concert that he managed to overcome the challenge of his addictions.) Thank you, Michael, for contributing to our continued discovery of SRV... his skills, his talent, his soul... and the connection we are privileged to make to the potential to help ourselves and others.

I was lucky enough to see SRV half a dozen times. Unfortunately a friend called and asked if I wanted to go to an SRV concert on short notice (that night). I couldn't. He died pretty soon after. He was always just drenched in sweat by the third or fourth song.

I saw SRV's last show at Alpine Valley. He is and always be my favorite guitarist, because I was able to feel his vibe in person. What a great, but tragic night. I'm 55 now and I decided to learn how to play. If I can ever play with a fraction of his emotion and skill, I will be so happy.

Has to be my favorite performance of his, along with Lenny & Little Wing @ the El Mocambo. Just so much raw emotion. He's the reason why I picked up a guitar & don't plan on putting it down for the rest of my life.

All the songs that Stevie had inside, waiting to be created...gifts from the heart, like this one in memory of Charlie. It's like a special treasure that gives me comfort just to know it's there when needed. 💔

Loved it. Good timing with the message. Yesterday had to be hard. Still 6 missing. We all have one shot at it. Love one another and love ourselves. Peace.

Thank you. Needed one of your messages today

I'd forgotten about this song, then fell in love with it all over again a few months back after buying the triple cd "transmission impossible". Such a killer pair of solos, probably my favourite SRV song.

I have to say that your reactions are so great! I can see and more importantly feel how much you love the music and your emotional reactions are certainly as genuine as you can get. My first love was guitar but i learned really quick that I just didn't have any chance to play. I have the privilege of being born the same day as SRV except 16 years later. Oct.3rd 1970. Unfortunately that is the only thing I had in common with the blues God! Although i found my talent in a beat up old drum kit. The very first time i picked up the sticks I realized that I had found my true love. I was watching your reaction to srv Texas flood live at the el Macombo. I literally felt how much you actually love what you do. I realized that the way you were reacting is the same exact way i act when I hear great music. It's undescribable how it makes me feel. I really just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your honesty and pure joy when your reacting to the music that we all love! Thank you and keep it real. God bless

SRV TOP NOTCH ANY GENRE !!! ALL-TIME GREAT !!!

I get so emotional on this song because no matter what performance you watch, it’s almost as if he knows just how great he is but plays without that loftinesses in his head, it’s just a jam session sitting on his bed as a boy after school but for me it’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever heard.. it’s literally nothing for him to be the most amazing guitar player of all time and the guitar is literally like screaming and crying all at the same time .. to be so talented and it literally require no effort to do so.. could listen to this song 24/7 365

Love this so much

Brother the version in New Orleans in white… that second solo after his speech gives my entire body goosebumps. It’s the most soulful solo I’ve ever heard!

Tnx,,,...for your take,on this vid,,seen it 1000 times,,,..now i can piece it ttogether,........so,,,so good,,,maybe G.O.A.T.😮

About time we got more Srv on this channel 😎

he switched guitars and didnt miss a beat, srv did and does things to me no musician can. What he cant sing or express he played it. im so glad i found srv when i did, not only did he make me fall in love with the blues. fell in love with the guitar. Stevie... thank you.

Beautiful description and correct! 😊

Ahhhh awesome. I have always wanted you to do a reaction to this song. Hows about at the end after playing with his teeth he looks over at someone and says my tooth its gone. Whether he broke it or chipped it while playing with his teeth who knows but still awesome

God have should gave him a second shot. Miss Stevie so much.

Srv Always tuned down half step, like Jimi

I still get tears in my eyes when I watch SRV's last performance on Austin City Limits. He died not long after that performance. He had been clean and sober for just a little bit too.

That song along wit "Life by the Drop" are still on my play lists. I've seen Chris Layton many times playing with KWS and Reese Wynans playing with Bonamassa, but I never had the opportunity to see SRV. I still remember where I was the day he died.

Hey Michael, big fan of your reaction videos and I have zero idea if you take requests here but it baffles me you have had a reaction to Matt corny - trick of the light live performance yet. If you see this, you totally should! As always enjoy watching. Cheers!

Love this one! I got to see him three times live!!!❤🔥💪

Watch Jimi Hendrix at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival and you'll see where SRV got his tricks.

Love SRV!!

When I think of life without you, I think of SRV. that makes me sad.

LIFE WITHOUT YOU by the great STEVIE RAY VAUGHN.

What does everybody think, any chance we'll get a chance to see a another crop of guitar greats as the 60's-70's ala SRV, JPage, Santana, Clapton, Beck, the 3 Kings, etc etc that will give the youth of today the same joys these guys gave us all the way through our older years? The gods with whom the guitar became an extension of their body's and souls the way these guys did. Thank you greats!!!

This entire concert is amazing. How about we watch the entire concert?

SRV was simply the coolest guitar in his time!

Thanks for covering this song! I think that the American Caravan version though is the best one, the tremolo picked start of the end solo really is something else

Those that can't, TEACH!!!

That note he holds forever goddam

He doesn’t say out of tune, he said lost my tooth, it’s gone. Why? Because he lost his freaking tooth lol. Love that man

Fearless

He didn’t say I’m out of tune he said I lost my tooth, it’s gone, you’ll notice he smiled at Charlie because it was missing

Thank the lord your ok as soon as I seen the bridge accident I’ve been worried about u and your family
