Texas Son, Texas Pride. Gone Too Soon. Thank You…tears. I miss him so much.

Nowadays the "stars" don't have an OUNCE of the talent guys like SRV had.......not even close

SRV oozes soul. His live performances are legendary. The band Double Trouble was phenomenal laying down the groove for SRV to create memorable solos. In this song he does a guitar switch most people miss because the change is so smooth. This song was written and dedicated to a good friend Charlie Wirz who was guitar shop owner who died of a sudden heart attack. RIP SRV. Your fans miss you.❤🙏🎸

I saw him in 87 with Greg Allman at The Ocean Center. It was like being stuck by lightning.

Song facts; "Life Without You" was a song Stevie wrote after the untimely death of his great friend and mentor Charley Wirz. the song shows his love for Charley and how much he truly missed him. The White Stratocaster Vaughan played that was fitted with Danelectro Lipstick Tube Pickups was made by Wirz with the help of Stevie's Guitar Tech Rene Martinez.

Best live performance ever

The GOAT OF GOATS!😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

You have just been introduced to the GOAT of all GOAT'S .Stevie Ray Vaughan was born in Dallas Texas on October 3,1954, he has a brother named Jimmie Vaughan who is 3 yrs older then Stevie Ray. I hear alot of people say that Jimi Hendrix family gave Stevie Ray Jimi Hendrix Wah-Wah pedal but Jimmie Vaughan said that he was playing at a venue along with Jimi Hendrix, Jimi Hendrix needed a Wah-Wah pedal so Jimmie Vaughan let Hendrix borrow his,. Hendrix broke Jimmie Vaughan's Wah-Wah pedal so Hendrix gave Jimmie Vaughan one of his. This song Life Without You was written by Stevie Ray Vaughan for his friend and mentor Charlie Wirz who died of a heart attack in 1985. Charlie made this white guitar along with Stevie Ray's guitar tech Rene Martinez in 1983 Stevie named the guitar Charlie. It's got a Hawaiian girl on the back and the heel plate says To Stevie Ray Vaughan more in 84' Stevie wrote this song and released it in 1985 right after Charlie's death. Jimmie Vaughan was the first to get an electric guitar and Stevie Ray loved it, when Jimmie would leave the house Stevie would play Jimmie's guitar, on Stevie Ray's 7th birthday he got a toy guitar with cowboys and Indians on it but still learned to play Wine Wine Wine and Thunderbird by The Night Caps (on a toy) Stevie Ray joined a band called The Chantones in 1964 and he had his first gig at a roller rink so Jimmie gave Stevie Ray his electric guitar but Stevie Ray left the band when the singer wanted them to start wearing makeup on stage. Jimmie Vaughan is a great guitarist In his own right and had a band called The Fabulous Thunderbirds and Jimmie also played guitar on many of Stevie Ray's albums. Stevie Ray always said I don't play with finesse I play like I'm breaking out of jail 😂. The great Blues artists Albert King was Stevie Ray's godfather. In 1977 Stevie Ray put a band together called The Triple Threat Reuve and they had a woman singer but on June 24,1979 Lou Ann Barton left The Triple Threat Reuve for a solo career so Stevie Ray picked up the vocals. Drummer Chris Layton joined The Triple Threat Reuve on September 10,1978 and in 1980 Stevie changed the bands name to Double Trouble. Basses Tommy Shannon knew Stevie Ray.when they joined a band called Krackerjack when Stevie was a teen and joined Double Trouble on June 23,1981, Reese Wynans joined Double Trouble on keyboard 4 yrs after Tommy on June 7,1985. Stevie Ray's career only span 7 years but in only 7 years Stevie accomplished so much and left a great legacy starting with his first album Texas Flood that was released on June 13,1983. Stevie won many awards on December 13 1983 he was voted Guitar Player Magazine's Best New Talent, Best Electric Blues Guitar Player and Best Guitar Album with Texas Flood, Stevie Ray and Jeff Beck are the only Triple Award Guitarist ever. On November 8,1984 Stevie Ray won a W.C.Handy National Blues Award, Entertainer Of The Year and Instermental Of The Year. Stevie was the first white man to win either. Stevie Ray was the first musician to be inducted into The Austin Music Hall Of Fame in 1982, in 2000 he was inducted into The Blues Hall Of Fame, in 2015 Stevie was inducted into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Sadly Stevie Ray never got to enjoy a # 1 hit, 2 months after his death his song Crossfire went to #1. On August 26,1990 Stevie Ray, Buddy Guy, Robert Clay and Stevie Ray's brother Jimmie Vaughan went to East Troy Wisconsin to open 2 shows for Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray came down from his hotel room and told Jimmie and the band he had a weird dream that he died and he was looking down at all these people crying, Stevie said although the dream was weird but he felt at peace. On August 27,1990 after Eric Clapton finish the last show Stevie Ray, Buddy Guy, Robert Clay and Jimmie got on stage with Eric Clapton and the last song Stevie Ray Vaughan performed was Sweet Home Chicago by Robert Johnson. Stevie Ray boarded a helicopter on a dark foggy night with a pilot who had just failed his test on using the gages for that helicopter, he never flew at night or that helicopter, he should have never been flying that night especially a amazing famous musician like Stevie Ray Vaughan. The pilot hit the side of a mountain right after takeoff and everyone on board were killed instantly. OMG! I'm so sorry I didn't mean to write so much, I tried to make it as short as possible but I thought you might like reading a little of Stevie Ray's story obviously it's just a dent. I don't watch documentaries I only watch interviews of Jimmie and Stevie Vaughan about their life, I think that's the only way to get a more accurate story. Loved the reaction thanks

I knew you would love this one, I saw Stevie in concert in Seattle 1985 and it was an amazing show, I actually got to shake the mans hand he’s a very humble human being and genuinely loved his fans.

Best friend, this is my favorite SRV performance. I lost my Dad and this song makes me so sad. He will be gone 3 years this July. It’s a pain that will never go away. He loved the blues so much. RIP SRV and thanks for the music!

Sadly 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 fog was so bad after the show that we stopped and got a hotel room on the way home. The lineup was SRV, Eric Clapton, Robert Cray,Stevie's brother Jimmie and Buddy Guy. I love you sister! RIP SRV!

MY MOTTO ,,, PEACE , LOVE & MUSIC , NUFF SAYDed....

Oh hell yes my friend Stevie Ray played his guitar 🎸 so deep as soon as u hear the 1st note u know it’s him. Killer major killer voice. Extremely talented wt A GOD GIVEN GIFT. I’m now 70 & music is my life. When I feel myself going into depression after losing my husband in 1994- then my 2nd husband in 2019 Stevie brings me bk. ❤❤ stay blessed just like he’s saying. Rock ur st. So excited to watch ur excitement over all these great artists. You are definitely a gem, peace, love and happiness never too old to rock on. ❤❤

Such a beautiful song and wonderful reaction.

Possibly the best live performance of all time. When the camera is behind him, and he has just one hand on the guitar to legendary.

He was a gift on loan to us from god. Hopefully we all can be a gift to this world in whatever it is we each do..he mastered it. I think he was enjoying listening to it come out of him just as we did

I swear, every time I hear this song, I wish I was the guitar and he would play me. It’s a very sexy vibe……

Saw him live in 1988 was life changing. Such a good guy who we lost at 35 years old. SRV forever RIP

Stevie's performance is so captivating. I've watched dozens and dozens of reactions to this video and only one person noticed the guitar switch. Just one. Red to white, stage tech visible fixing the strap, no one notices.

Life without you has been my favorite song by SRV since I heard it!

He is my heart, you have to check out Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland, it's his best performance ❤❤❤❤❤

I love love love SRV❤️. I enjoy all of his videos. He has the same effect on me as he does you😂😂😂. For an extra sexy song by him, try Ain’t Gone And Give Up On Love live from this same concert at the Capitol Theater. Oh and I subbed hoping for lots more SRV reactions!!!

The Jimi Hendrix Estate gave SRV Jimi's actual Wah Wah pedal in 1981 I believe because he was so influenced and a hardcore Hendrix fan, so when he plays the Wah... it's Hendrix's authentic Wah sound! Although there is zero Wah pedal in this song. lol

K shavon good day. I seen your reaction to Texas Flood live at the El combo He plays "little wing" at the same concert Don't miss out this tune it's awesome. Be cool stay safe.

He named his white guitar 🎸 Charley after his friend who passed away suddenly. SRV usually. played this song with his guitar 🎸 Charley. Charley was a white custom-made "hardtail" (non-tremolo, fixed bridge) "Stratocaster-style" guitar built by Charley Wirz, a friend of Vaughan's and owner of Charley's Guitar Shop in Dallas. Wirz built it in late 1983, and placed a neck plate on it engraved "To Stevie Ray Vaughan, more in '84". He lost a tooth. 11:18 Notice he keeps looking down and around for it. Says to off screen people, I lost a tooth , sorry. He didn't drop his pic, he was adjusting his equipment due to the guitar change.

Stevie Ray ain't the only one with soul here. You're doing fine Soul Sister. Glad I stopped by and I'll be back....

Stevie dann neared killed himself, dopping cocaine, into Crown Royal..took a year and a half off came back, sober, clean and on a mission..In Step his final album , conrained songs about the journey. While this song was during the lost years, no judgement..as he included Life without you in every Live set , the speech part of song, continued to change, and it was always from the heart, inspiring, and just damn bad ass! Rip SRV

No guitarist in the world can make the guitar scream or cry like SRV. The GOAT

it's pretty amazing... he broke a guitar string at the beginning.... he nodded at his guitar tech.....and they were able to change guitars mid performance without him missing a beat or a single

This is my single favorite SRV performance. Thank you for reacting to it!

Maybe it's mentioned in the comments but he broke his tooth when he plucked with them at the end, he giggles toward stage right mouthing the words, "lost my tooth". Doesn't affect his playing though being the badass picker he was. SRV was an especially excellent human for sure.

Can't Go WRONG WIT SRV🥰😘...

Not only is this man talented; I found him incredibly sexy as well. 💯 RIP Baby. .....

THANK GOD 4 ...

Im with you. GREAT JOB.

Seen him in concert i. Cedar Rapids Iowa in the 80's, he was so awes😊

The MAN SLEPT With THAT THING IN HIS HANDS ...

Such a great song!!! I love it! ❤️✌️

HIS INBELISHMENTS R 2nd 2 NONE ! MISS YA BROTHER ..... R.I.P....

Hahaha! Glad I was able to find this reaction before I called it a night…. Somehow, your selections always amaze me, and the humor keeps me coming back! 😂😂😂😂

The GOAT.

Stevie Ray Vaughan brought me here… great reaction!! Subscribed!! 💙💙💙💙💙

Great Reaction My Love 👍🙏🌹

If you like stevie Ray Vaughan music please play wont Give up on love and also Texas Flood live at the macombo then you’ll never forget him cause hes one of the best out there..

I'm glad to see people enjoy and react to stevie..I'm in austin texas and we kind of claim him as our own down here..he decided to move to Austin in the late 70ties while on his way here from dallas..he slept in his friend's bar in the pool table..there is knowone better at bringing the sounds from the music spirit wourld over in to this world ..hr channeled it over though his mind and fingers...he just let it come out instead of forcing it..

SRV and Jeff Healy playing "Little Sister" is mind blowing! It's something special about Jeff. I love your reactions. This is my 2nd time watching you do srv and you are too funny. So I hit the subscribe bell

The 🐐 Goat SRV

Greatest guitarist that ever lived

Wasn't he wonderful? 😍 He even broke his tooth. You can see him mouthing to someone off stage that he broke it

Stevie definitely, definitely has one of the most underrated voices of all time 😅

His message was against apartheid and how we can’t keep going the way we are going, he was such a sweet man

Did y’all notice he lost a tooth during the show..? Dang, he was the best

Hey, K, love your reactions. You just blurt out what you see and think. Love gut reactions and they're easy to feel when Stevie takes the stage! He takes your heart too. I kno what's goin on in that Mae West mind of yours. So listen, go find "Ain't gone and give up on Love", at the Capital Theatre, Passaic,NJ. Something in that performance will get your attention. 🙀 Also, "Change It", from the same show. You're welcome. It's just too damn easy to love him. Maybe do your next SRV reaction for that first one I mentioned. ☮️to all.

He lost a tooth when he picked at it with his teeth, and he spits out saliva and blood, walks to the mic and says "Thank you Charly" Charly being his friend that had passed away and given him that guitar, and to whom the song is dedicated, And Srv continues playing the song like nothing. that is fire🔥🔥🔥

SRV🤘

You hot and sweet, girl. Great video reaction. Take care; God bless you.

It breaks my heart to tell you this but Stevie Ray was killed in a helicopter accident at the age of 35. Another legend gone too young. RIP STEVIE RAY

🎸💙🎸💙🎸

Besides being major talented he has major sex appeal

Stevie could milk a cow standing on his hands and blind folded. 🐂

Every body missed the gautar change

Sexy wasn’t he? Enjoyed your reaction.

Hey girl good to see your reactions. You make my day.

Fuckin incredible!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

There are guitar players as good as Stevie was different style maybe but just as talented don't get me wrong I am a huge SRV fan from way back.

You crazy K Shavon. In a good way

If you do stevie tinpan ally live in tokyo i will subscribe and watch your channel everytime you upload a new video.

That is the worst time to have a damn add, lol

Hi K when you get a chance you should check out “Exile I want to kiss you all over live on the Saturday night special, I think you will really like it.

SRV...is a legend. I do hope you circle back around and try more Linkin Park. If or when you do....please try; Somewhere I Belong (the 'official' is fine). Then Maybe; Given Up (definitely a video of a 'live' performance.

He lost his tooth on this performance you see him say they tooth is gone

You will be the first one if you do ..

yeah he lost a tooth when he was playing with his teeth and he just kept playing didn't even face him

I think you fell in love.

K Shavon; Sweetness... ELP STILL YOU TURN ME ON

I'll help you out with that.

It's unfair to play gutair and sing like he did

So sad heroin destroyed his life

Out of all the SRV videos, this is the performance I like least. I don’t know why this video is recommended to showcase SRV’s talent. The guitars are out of tune, Stevie performance is altered by his habits. OKaaaaaaa!!

fine gal,,,,fine reaction,,,,,
