He continues the solo with a broken string and if you weren't watching, you wouldn't know. He waits till the break in the song, nods his head, and like a NASCAR pit crew his tech runs out and he's playing again before its even strapped up ❤

What a massive, massive talent, gone way too soon. RIP SRV.

Real musicians ! no takes, no do overs, no dubbing, ......just raw pure powerful beautiful music !

👏🙌‼️ how impressive was that switch out? Stevie gave his guitar techs so much experience with changing out guitars that they performed like a race car pit crew. Guys the only time I "listen" to Stevie Ray is in my car with cd's. His studio recordings are excellent, but with the exception of Riveria Paradise on the In Step album, you won't have a better experience than when you watch. His passion for performing for people is where most of the energy and magic lies. Keep going with the live performances✌️💙💙🎶

One of the smoothest guitar swaps ever. Props to the guitar tech.

🎸Wonder no more why Stevie's legacy keeps growing. If anyone has has earned and deserves his place as a true Legend in music history, it is SRV. In an interview he quietly and simply said that his talent was as gift from God that he tried hard to repay. Paid in full, Stevie. Paid in full. 🙏🔥

Do you feel as fortunate as I to have experienced this very special artist. He just makes me smile everytime I hear him play.

Now what a tune for 11 am yes Mr stevie Ray Vaughan.........little sister cheers

Smooth as butter. 🙃👍

Stevie never disappoints.

The one and only SRV.

Seen these performances many times and I’m constantly in awe. An amazing talent and a GOAT for sure. Love your SRV reactions.

Can't go wrong with SRV!!!

Buddy Guy gave him the biggest compliment ever after he passed. "As a Bluesman , he was as good as anybody .... ever ."

I love the respect you two show towards SRV and all of the other greats. I absolutely adore SRV and will not pass by any reaction to his music. He is much better live, but I do have a few of his studio albums. Strange thing, until about 4 years ago, I had never listened to blues. My husband had been after me to check out SRV. I am ashamed to say that I never wanted to listen to him before because I am a hard rocker. I finally watched one of his performances, Texas Flood/live, and was hooked on SRV. I missed out on so much great music because I was just stubborn. RIP SRV 🎸🎶

Let's talk about the cat on the keys............LOL

Y'all have got to do the SRV video for Cold Shot. Many of your questions will be answered about his guitars. Plus it's filmed in Austin and has a ton of humor to it. Thanks for all your reviews....great job!

Can't click fast enough when you guys react to SRV! The one I'm waiting for is "Third stone from the Sun" live at The El Macombo...you'll be speechless💯👈

Great reaction. 👍 SRV is the best guitar player in music history. 🎶

Always lets other people shine. That always impressed me as much as his playing and singn

Great reaction!!! I love your channel. I love Ain’t Gone And Give Up On Love live from the Capitol Theater. And yes yes yes if you want a studio check out Rivera Paradise. It is beautiful ❤️

You will never see another like him !

This was the first song I ever heard from SRV. I was in downtown Atl. and I stopped at a liquor store to get some beer and when I got back in my truck and the radio came on, this is what I heard. I've been hooked ever since.

An absolute master of his instrument.

Love, love, love SRV!

His studio albums are great! His last album was so good! Wish we could’ve heard more from his career and see where his music would’ve gone.

RIP Stevie Ray you are sooooo missed!!!!!!

Well if you want some serious blues check out SRV & Albert King, In Session recorded in studio for a TV special. It’s freaking amazing! Also for early classic SRV swag, check out his live at Montreux 1982 performance where he hadn’t even received a recording contract yet. The first song is Hide Away & continue with a more blues Dirty Pool, my personal favorite.

"He is the blues". Such a great comment.

I’d recommend, In Step, for the studio album. He’s clean and sober and playing his ass off

You should check out: couldn't stand the weather live at the capitol theatre. One of my absolute favourites. It has such a cool groove!!

What you guy's were saying about it being a keyboard song and then Stevie takes it back and breaks a string, The whole group ,Stevie, Double trouble and the guitar tec and support guys were so in tune with each other there's only one thing to call them, professionals. Love your review's.

Studio version you have to check out, tight rope , incredible song

The goat! Guys I keep telling y’all to play “leave my girl alone” and “tightrope” from that same live show from Austin city limits.

Best ACL ever my favorite by far.

Watching your reactions gave goose bumps. Your musical reactions and your appreciation good music is priceless!As always keep up the great work fellas. Much appreciated. 🙏

Y'all need to react to Stevie Ray Vaughan sound check❤ from Texas

Check out their first album for sure. Every song on it is a banger and you guys would love it.

Stevie Ray was the Truth His band is awesome also

GOD took him early because he did it all here, established himself as the GOAT and gave us plenty of tunes. Plays up there now for sure. RIP STEVIE

One of the rare artists where studio and live performances are T.O.P.!

Stevie Ray didn't even need guitar strings to play. 👌💯

You were mentioning liking the live videos so you can see him play and check out his fit. Legend has it that Stevie dressed like that ALL the time, not just for shows. If he went to the grocery store on a Sunday morning he’d sport the same style. He owned it!!!!! Guitarist like SRV have full time guitar techs, that’s their whole job to tune and maintain his guitars.

He had those tall musician flight cases that hold 20 guitars...probably had a couple of them

Oh yeah

That piano though! Thank y'all for reacting to this. "Pride and Joy" is another banger, if you haven't reacted to it. Anything by SRV is worth a listen. RIP Stevie.

SRV live performance on any given performance. In live venues it felt even better. But we took it for granted seeing him so often. His warm up mic checks were the best. He'd slip in and out of Zeppelin, Sabbath, Deep Purple etc whatever he heard on the ride over or background. Just fiddling around. Jeff Beck riffs like in his sleep.

Rip SRV….gone too soon. Thank the rock gods he left us some 💎 gems.❤️

In Step & Couldn't Stand the Weather are his go to Studio albums. What is often overlooked is that it was Stevie and his Band (Double Trouble). Those three guys were his brothers. They backed Stevie all the way, wherever he went musically, and NEVER missed a beat or a cue. Fabulous musicians.

The studio version of, cold shot, His guitar was plugged into a Leslie organ speaker, that's what I heard and that's why he gets that sound out of his guitar

This man saved the blues He was one of a kind and I miss this man so much I was turned on to the blues when I was 14 years old in 1984 at a party Someone put a Muddy Waters album on and the rest is history Because I like all kinds of music but the blues is by far my favorite If you want to know more about SRV Watch VH1 The legends Its so good They tell the whole story of SRV’s life When Eric Clapton and BB King talk about SRV They said it will be a long time before you see someone with the talent he had Eric said most people have to think about the next note or cord to play But not Stevie He said that music just flows through him like an open channel and BB King said that that you will probably never see someone with this much talent again Coming from those two musicians That should tell everyone what they need to know about SRV RIP TO A LEGEND

SRV is one of music's GOATS. You should see the video of B.B. King changing a string in the middle of a song, these OG Bluesmen were the shit!

Gosh you guys gotta check out Pride and Joy! My old man has played it for for me since 83..... Most of his guitars have war wounds, probably born with one😊 Gotta let that guitar sing like no other......

SRV..'COLD SHOT'.....IS A COLD SHOT. WOW LIVE PERFORMANCE.

Get it Reese! Srv does so much ,first it's hard to not want to watch his live performance and second it's so good you just want to close your eyes and feel it . I think that just another reason I have to replay him over and over .

Do the studio version of "Rivera Paradise" pleaseeeee 😊

Very respectful reaction gents He has those big paws and stretches those strings … I was lucky to see him three in Chicago…you got a follower …nice conversation after as well

Check out the bluesy rocker "Couldn't Stand the Weather" for some great studio fire from SRV.

I had the pleasure to see him twice once in Orlando and I had 4th row Center seats the other time in Tampa with Jeff Beck opening up and then they both came out and jammed at the end I'm still in shock!!

He was primarily a Fender Stratocaster player. He always played them in live performances, and rarely used other models. His most famous Stratocaster was nicknamed “Number One”. He named his guitars, One, Red, Lenny, Yellow, Charley, Main , and Scotch.

🎸💯 Hell yeah‼That Texas boogie y'all‼🔥 🤯 SRV called his guitar "The One "‼🐐 RIP Stevie Ray Vaughan ❤ 🕊 🙏 I came across y'all's channel, saw who & what you were reacting to & had to subscribe‼☮ ❤ 🎶

My favorite Stevie song is Pride and Joy.

I was privileged to see SRV live numerous times in the 80’s in Austin & Corpus Christi. (The drummer, Chris Layton is a native of CC). There is an actual statue of SRV in Austin. He was the GOAT as far as I’m concerned. RIP Stevie Ray. 💔🙏🏻

One of the best ever

stevie was a true bluesman

Stevie Ray Vaughan owned 34 guitar's, Guitar Center bought Stevie Ray's guitar that he named #1 for $625,000 and they take it to their stores around the USA for display, it has the 13gage strings, they let people try to play it. Jimmie inherited Stevie Ray's estate, alot of his thing are at a music museum in Texas. Jimmie plays on alot of Stevie Ray's albums, whenever you hear 2 guitar's playing it's Jimmie Vaughan. Stevie Ray also plays the drums and Saxophone, Stevie Ray is playing drums on The Sky Is Crying album on the song The Sky Is Crying. Stevie Ray and Jimmie were working on an album called Family Style but Stevie Ray passed away before the could finish it, I still say Tic-Tock is sooo worth a listen, Stevie Ray has a powerful message and Jimmie has old home movies of Jimmie and Stevie when they were very little.

As Clapton once said, " Stevie doesn't make a mistake"

Reese's fingers are made of gold

I always imagine Stevie with the Allman Brothers Band, that would be sick!!

Thank you so much for SRV. Tightrope is a good one too.

The GOAT...........Plain AND Simple. Switches guitars WITHOUT missing a beat !!

This dude was scarring the crap out of most guitarists at the time 😢

THIS is what brings in the fans. There is no better blues guitarist in my opinion.

Bring back juke joints!!!! Real piano and moonshine...❤

They definitely had those guitar switches down real smooth and fast. By the end of his career Stevie had about 5 or 6 guitars used in a single show, not counting backups. Different guitars for different songs. Most guitarists usually have at least a half dozen back stage. Most quite a few more than that. You should see Billy Gibbons guitar collection just for the shows alone. He is rumored to have hundreds, the biggest collection in the world. EVH probably had the most amps and Billy had the most guitars.

I know I'm over 8 months late to this reaction, but, BY FAR, the best version of this song on KZfaq is with Johnny Copeland right after they finished Tin Pan Alley.....Absolutely amazing!!! Those two had that stage shaking!!! MUST SEE!!!

SRV is a Must Live! I would recommend his CD - Couldn’t Stand The Weather …. And review the song.

Fun fact about Stevie Ray Vaughan most people don't know that he does the guitar on David Bowie's Let's Dance

Stevie was notorious for keep superglue on hand, because he would ply his callouses off, and he’d glue them back. He was a generational talent.

Hats off to his guitar tech for being there.

Breaks a string and doesn't miss a beat. That's what The G.O.A.T. does!!

Stevie brings 3 guitars to every show.

Check out Stevie's brother in the Fabulous Thunderbirds ~ "TUFF ENOUGH".....!

SRV ... I click

Studio? “The Sky Is Crying”, “Life By The Drop”, and with his brother Jimmie as The Vaughan Brothers “Telephone Song” he does his Hendrix tricks, “Tick Tock” is a modern soul classic written and introduced by Jimmie and sung by Stevie, and my favorite is “Long Way from Home”. Jimmie plays his world-class Fabulous Thunderbirds-style rhythm guitar and Stevie plays lead and sings. It’s fast but so hot that it actually speeds up while they’re playing.

With the great Buddy Guy at 87 on his Damn Right Farewell Tour, it would be great of y'all could react to his music. His powerful voice, incredible guitar playing is worth it. Another legend. Damn Right I Got the Blues, 5 Long Years, Feels Like Rain would be good ones to start with. Buddy Guy has played with everyone. Thanks for this great reaction to beloved Stevie Ray Vaughn ❤

"the sky is crying " would be a great studio listen

Love y’all!❤️🤘🏻

Stevie Ray Vaugh - Dirty Pool (Live at Carnegie Hall, New York, NY - October 1984), and for a studio song Stevie Ray Vaughn - Come On, Pt. III (1984 Version)

Yall need to watch Stevie and Buddy Guy playing Champagne and Reefer

Massive shout out to René Martinez his guitar tech. I saw an interview with Tab Benoit where he reached out to René asking him what kind of string lubricant he used on SRV's guitars (because Tab was breaking a ton of strings too). René told him he made up a lube using a lubricant mixed with graphite and it helped reduce (somewhat) the amount of strings that he broke. Tab then proceeded to make his own lubricant by mixing half and half 'Slick 50' and gear oil. Tab Benoit would be another great artist to check out, his live version of 'These Arms of Mine' is incredible.

Thank you for reacting to SRV songs deeper in the catalog than just Texas Flood and Voodoo Chili (Slight Return). He's absolutely amazing. I was lucky enough to see him live in 1989 in Columbus OH when eh split the ticket with Jeff Beck! A couple other blues requests for reactions- Jeff Healey-I Think I Love You Too Much he actually plays guitar and has a silky smooth blues voice. On this song he splits guitar work with Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits. If you want a straight up BANGER-check out See The Light! Lesser known but considered one of the world's best blues guitarists is Eric Gales. He put out his first album in 1991 when he was only 17! I would recommend Resurrection, or High Anxiety(instrumental) or Sign of the Storm. The entire album rocks! He's had many great releases since then!

I swear, I can hear the audience cheer when the guitar gets switched.

SRV’s playing was central to the groove of the song. Most front men simply “act” as if their playing is pertinent to the tune. They sort of wave at the guitar when in truth it’s more posing than anything else. Stevie plays the damn the damn thing, and the band fits around it. That what makes this quick and seamless transition to a second instrument so impressive. This guy did so many things right, paid his dues, overcame his own demons and played the hell out of it. Much love and respect to SRV and his technician. The fact that his backup axe was identically tuned and ready to go speaks to the amount of gig night preparation. I would wager they had another one ready to go if needed also.

Stevie Ray never failed to amaze me. He took a Larry Davis tune, "Texas Flood", and covered it so well that it defied description. Then, he took "Look at Little Sister", first recorded by Henry "Hank" Ballard and the Midnighters, and made it into this masterpiece. If you would care to hear Hank's original recording, here 'tis: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bcpnjNFj1cuVeHk.html. I'm 82 years old and Stevie Ray's talent still blows what little mind I have left.

If you have listened to these yet - you would really like the songs Couldn't Stand the Weather and The Sky is Crying. Its all good with Stevie...

Not to mention, the way his voice started the song! Fire!!!

SRV played huge strings. He was used to popping 'em. He was only 5 foot 5 inches tall. But...he had HUGE hands.

his guitar strings are the stromgest made-imagine his grip strength

One of my favorite albums from SRV is called SOUL TO SOUL. Check it out for some serious blues. ✌🏼❤ HE HAS RISEN!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Happy Easter fellas
