The Formula 1 of guitar changes!

That keyboardist is awesome

performance 10/10 singing 10/10 guitaring 10/10 strings 5/6 RIP Stevie thanks so much for 1k likes!

I don't care what anyone says! The greatest blues guitar player EVER!

boy didnt have a goddamn bone in his body that wasnt full of the blues.

1:50 Stevie was such a great guitarist that he got Eric Clapton to play piano for him.

That guitar switch would make an F1 pit crew blush

This guy was a monster. He wasn't human. His string gauges are as legendary as he is. Possibly the best blues player ever.

2:00 me when my crush texts me

Anyone that has ever popped a guitar string knows what it does to the sound of your guitar. The fact that Stevie was able to keep playing as if nothing had happened, with no noticeable change in tone - I mean...I don't even know what to say. We should all be so lucky to be as passionate about anything as Stevie was for the blues. Also, Rene Martinez is a fucking badass

I'm an asian kid living in Korea right now. Fact that I still get his music just proves how outstanding his music was.

The guitar switch is one of the smallest things about this performance. It's one of the best performances I have ever seen.

That smooth guitar switch at 2:50 was pretty badass :--)

You can hear the crowd cheering with appreciation to his talent and smooth transition @ 3:05

Everyone is rightfully pointing out SRV not missing a beat, the keyboardist who made a deal with the devil, but can we get an Amen for the guitar tech that hot swapped everything including the strap like a friggin champ? That guy is like Tiger Woods caddy, man.

The most painful thing is that very few people nowadays appreciate real music like this

I love Stevie, thats why I'm here, but that fella on the keyboard...welcome to the badass hall of fame. enjoy your throne.

RIP SRV August 27, 1990, East Troy, WI

Not even a broken string can stop the all mighty SRV from delivering a badass performance. 🤘🏻🎸

Whoever was the sound engineer present here, I salute you.

Where do you start?....all I can say is Fuckin WOW, the heaviest , thickest, most viscous blues on the planet. I love how everything is forefront. Monstrous bass foundations, sexy ass drums, and SRV, THE man himself, in my ameture opinion, the best blues guitarist to walk the Earth.

I beleive in Jesus, Ronald Reagan and Stevie Ray Vaughan

The single greatest piece to improvise Rock piano to. The snappy rhythm is glorious! Rhythm? I don't know all this music terminology, just cool to smash keys with!

RIP Stevie Ray Vaughan (October 3, 1954 - August 27, 1990), aged 35 You will always be remembered as a legend.

This guitar change is genius!

If this were Guns 'n Roses Axl Rose would have cancelled the show immediately XD

All the dislike are from fandom of Kpop.

You know your good when you sound the same live as you do on album.

We will never recover from the loss of Stevie Ray Vaughn. Ever. All we have are memories and these videos. I'll take them. He never realized that he was the best ax man to ever lift and play a Fender Stratocaster. All the rest of us live in his shadow. SRV was a miracle.

I like the way he checks that all his controls on his guitar are in the right position at 1:00, after these big strokes even not looking at it! And all of it while singing! Just insane guy!

My favourite part in the solo is actually the part AFTER he breaks the string. First time i watched this i wasn't watching the video and i liked what i heard so i came back to it and i was really surprised that a string breaks , the guy keeps his cool , the bassist looks at the guitar nervously , he still keeps his cool , plays and finishes the solo just how it needs to be done ; and to top it all off he switches guitars without skipping a single beat. I wish he was still alive so we could be going to his shows to see more of this badassery.

Who in their right mind would or could not like this?

If you close your eyes you wouldn’t even realize there’s a broken string

The fact that he never skipped a beat during this performance will always be rendered legendary to this day.

I know most people are here for the guitar switch. But Stevie's rhythm playing from 1:20-2:10 while Reese is playing is out of this world!!

Love the way he plays that trill and picks that open E string so effortlessly 1:33-1:36

As much as I love that super smooth swap out to a new guitar, I think my favourite part of this performance is 2:08. He absolutely charges that stage to deliver one of if not my favourite live solo's ever. Up there with the best to ever do it. RIP Sir.

That transition was smoother than the automatic transmission on my dad’s 80’s Cadillac.

Everyone commenting on how awesome is that smooth guitar switch but anyone commenting on how good is that song damn!

2:35 Didn’t even miss a beat……this guy was an absolute legend……RIP

smoother than the smooth criminal

The way SRV changed his guitar after a broken string is one of the coolest I've ever seen. Not one note or word missing.

This man was in class all by himself. Such an incredibly talented musician. Just amazing the things he could do. Such a loss to the industry.

Between this and the switch during Life Without You at Passaic, SRV has confirmed himself as the king of the quick switch.

My Dad past away in 2014, I remembered asking my dad as a teenager “ Dad, who’s your favourite band or singer?” He said without even thinking about it, Stevie Ray Vaughan. Of course I never heard of him and 50 cent just came out and I didn’t care at 15. Unfortunately I never got to share the love for SRV that I now have, but it’s all because of him why I even looked up who this Stevie guy was. Nobody was cooler looking then this guy! The boots and the hat are hitters! Unmatched on the guitar, I’m sorry folks, I know it’s a controversial topic but I’m here to say it anyway. He had the voice, he had the guitar and he had the tunes, like a Ray Charles level of hero.

Ok I can hear why everyone is nuts about SRV omg he is phenomenal

I will forever be astonished by that swift guitar change with absolutely brilliant teamwork and precision with his tech. Another legend gone far too soon!

That guy moonlights with a NASCAR pit crew.

We gotta give mad props to Mr Reese and Double Trouble. Damn they were tight!

That guitar swap though, smooth af.

AHHHHH Who Needs 6 Strings..... No Problem! Man's smooth as silk..

Everyone talks about the string breaking but the solo he did before is fucking amazing

Stevie's skill comes from deep within. What he does with that guitar is not teachable.

Breaks a string, change guitars, doesn't miss a single note. Majestic.

SRV has taught us so much about what guitar can be or mean to someone. I know for sure he is the best blues guitarist (and best ever in my book) and that he deserves so much more respect and credit. I may be 13, and only started playing guitar 2/3 months ago, but I am on a mission to help rediscover the way SRV influenced people of the last generation and my generation. I plan to make blues a dominant genre again.

💎💎🎶🎶🎸🎸Stevie Ray Vaughan , the greatest Bluesman 🎸🎸🎶🎶💎💎

that man was born to play guitar!

I was going to say that I was PISSED when Stevie passed but this song, the lyrics, the playing and how Stevie's crew member switched that guitar out without any of them missing a beat was pure showmanship! Wow...wish Stevie was still lightening it up today! RIP brother!

this is why stevie’s my favorite guitarist, how he swaps guitars and gets right back into the grove like it’s nothing is INSANE!!! left this world too early

SRV is a musical DR. He sure patched up the solo nicely and even got the crowd to clap cause the transition was smoother than the butter you spread on your toast.

Major props to the keyboard player!

As a little sister myself, thank you for this song.

Definitely best Guitar player ever lived on planet earth. NO DISCUSSION

SRV oozed soul. Nobody like him since. The pianist has it too, soul on the keys.

God took you SRV because he loves your guitar playing

He is definitely the GOAT!!!! So sad that he died so early in life.

you know you're bad ass when roadies are switching your guitar for you mid song lol

Piano man killed it

God took Stevie, and left us Cher. Surely, this is evidence of our need to repent. SRV, Rest in Peace.

I'm addicted to this video, I love this man. I can't believe how seamless that move went.

As someone that works as FOH Guy an Stage Tech at a local independent music venue that holds a capacity 400, I have met seen an worked with some wonderful people bands wise but never in my life have I ever seen guitar tech do change as swiftly as Mr Martinez in this clip my god how smooth he is. This is a clip that every Guitar Tech on road round world for year's will come back to reminisces of what this man did at Austin City Limits looks like cracking gig 👌

i’m still very impressed on how he broke that strings, he used .13 gauge strings and still… and also no one is going to talk about how he got 5 or more springs in his trem system

Man that piano was bad ass

Breaks a string and doesn't miss a beat.

2:55 Has to be the smoothest guitar switches ever done mid song, live on stage in the history of jamming.

Outstanding Guitar Tec, what a Boss ...not a beat missed, not a single fuck given... Miss you Stevie Ray!

That guitar swap was perfect.

Even broken string can't make him stop

correction you know you're bad ass when you break the bottom string mid lead solo and make it sound even better with only 5 strings I think stevie just earned another name sake with that performance alone

No one plays guitar like him

The whole combination of all of them was the shit!!!! Couldn't ask for better music!!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, On the Guitar and vocals, Stevie Ray Vaughan! On the keyboard, Eric Clapton! On the drums, David Bowie! and on the bass, Chad Smith!!

SRV is the one who turned me on to the blues. THE GREAT SRV THANK YOU!!!

Simply the best with fender stratocaster guitar

you are so great in my heart, thank you for your songs.

Stevie's control of everything is amazing. Just a glance at the tech and made a change Nascar pit crews would dream of. Dude was such a savage. RIP the 🐐

2:33 proof that Stevie Ray Vaughan is the greatest guitarist of all time best thing I've ever seen

How we've gone from this to bands lip syncing through entire concerts I'll never know.

The coolest and smoothest thing I’ve ever seen is that guitar swap after he broke a string. Props to his guitar tech, Rene Martinez.

that guitar change was sick! seamless....broken string and just kept on jamming. He was one of the best

I could watch this every day for the rest of my life and it would not get old, ever.. RIP Stevie we miss you so much!

Stevie was just a genius guitar player. I love the part right after the keyboard player's section when Stevie takes over at 2:08 and just goes off on a magnificent riff to continue the song. Just awesome !!!

This man was something special. I don't like all his stuff but this is my favourite. What a waste of a legend

I really hope there's a rock renaissance in my time 🤘

2:30 Well ...that's how you swap guitar after breaking a string kids All hail the MASTER!! RIP SRV

This video is like what? 12 years ago? I'm late but dear Lord in Heaven, this man was phenomenal and his keyboardist rocked the keyboard! SRV has soul, blues, passion and fire burning within him and permeating into his guitar. I love his voice, too! I'm speechless! I rate him a 10 across the board! Is there a number better than that? Then give it to him!!!

Albert King told Stevie in the late 70s, "kid your already pretty damn good but your going to get even better". He died one of the greats.

Hate to say this , but looking at this crowd in the backgound... They seem so... dead... No bobbing heads, no snapping fingers, no tapping feet while Stevie Ray Vaughan is killing it on stage.

Guitar tech level 10, 1 nod from SRV was the equivalent of Dan Marino calling the fake spike to his WR with a single nod. A true master of his craft. Thank you SRV and Double Trouble
