I cried so hard the day he died. There might never have been such a tragic loss to the music world in a long, long time.

Your face when he flings that thing behind his back... priceless!

The licks he played between the vocal lines were greater solos than most guitarist can achieve in their whole musical careers.

I'm 64, have seen and studied many of the great guitarists from the 60's thru the 90's, and SRV is the BEST of them ALL! Imagine where his skill set would be today if he wasn't taken so many years ago!!!

"Live At the El Mocambo" (the entire event) captured one of those mystical moments in human artistic achievement. Every performance was a lightning bolt of greatness.

That look on Stevie’s face is called “Stank Face.” That’s because Stevie is completely immersed in the music. The Lord gave us guitar savant, Stevie Ray Vaughn to witness his greatness and then called him back into his arms.

Stevie didn't go into beast mode he lived there. And my. Heart bleeds Carolina blue ✌💖

Stevie is T-H-E G-O-A-T. there's absolutely nothing like watching a legend like Stevie Ray rip out his heart and throw it on the stage.

The man virtually NEVER even looked at his guitar. Pure muscle memory.

Brother, I don't leave comments often but you did an outstanding job in your reaction! It was honest, funny, astute, in-depth and you are very affable. I will be watching more of your videos. God bless. SRV a beautiful soul and is by far my favorite guitarist. I saw him live 6 months before he died in Oklahoma. I still get emotional and miss him. He was clean and sober and playing better than ever. It does my soul good to see Stevie being introduced to new hearts. Try Life by the drop. ☮️ my friend

I love watching people fall in love with Stevie and his music!!

SRV at The El Mocambo is the best set of live blues playing I've seen, and I've seen a lot. It's freaking incendiary.

Never get tired of seeing reactions to seeing Stevie Ray Vaughn from people that aren't completely familiar with this genuis

IMHO Stevie Ray Vaughan’s performance at El Mocambo was his finest live performance ever recorded. He was just so spot on with his riffs. He was on fire!!!!

I love watching people react to SRV live. There's a reason the city of Austin built a statue to honor him.

I agree no disrespect to Jimi but SRV is the GOAT

I worked in a music store for years and I remember when Elvis died, John Lennon was shot, Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash and I came to work that Monday morning and they told me he was killed in a helicopter crash I just fell apart. He was one of a kind with a talent in my opinion no one has ever been able to match along with a big heart. It never gets old watching him perform.

For me, SRV is one of those rare musicians who doesn't just PLAY an instrument, they become ONE with the instrument.

He made his guitar beg for mercy! RIP to my favorite guitarist ever! What an amazing talent..

Every single time I give my sons my stank face.. they pop right back with " oh Lord, momma's SRV face "! 🙄😂😂

It’s a helluva thing to see a man be totally connected to the spiritual plane. He had a direct line.

If Jimi and Stevie ever played on the same stage, the world would end.

I could only imagine what kind of music the great Stevie Ray Vaughn would be giving us the pleasure of hearing now . The greatest in my mind.

Yep that was the real deal,no frills, no gimmicks. That was in a bar in downtown Toronto,Canada. Best show ever recorded.

Etta James said in her autobiography that he was one of her all-time favorites.

That was stunning

I had the great privilege of meeting and speaking with SRV on several occasions, seeing him in concert numerous times, and when he played, it was a vibe that struck you, the energy and passion that he brought to the stage and filtered through his guitar that hit you, like a 2X4 right between your eyes. His music, especially live, changed your life. That is the greatest compliment that I can give. I recall attending the Chicago Blues Fest in 1984 or 85, while completing my doctorate degree, and it was a comfortable leisurely afternoon and evening listening to many artists and excellent performances with a good crowd, but because of the large capacity of the fairgrounds there was plenty of room to stretch-out on a towel on the great lawn, that is until Stevie showed up with his band Double Trouble around 1:00 AM and started playing, then seemingly within 15 minutes, several hundred thousand additional fans descended on the grounds and we we all packed-in like sardines, standing shoulder to shoulder witnessing greatness, a force of nature and enjoying every second of it. RIP brother, hope you are tearing it up when and if I get there.

We owe so much to black music... what a great thing you guys gave to the world... jazz, gospel, blues, r & b... soul... Hiphop... God, the world would be lost without black music....

It is great to add another SRV fan -- you feel his music-he was such a humble and caring man - it was sad that he got his life together and got rid of all his demons, to be taken away like he was - RIP SRV - I think you are starting to understand us Stevie Ray fanatics!

Brings a tear to my eye every time I listen to him, knowing he's gone.

When you discover StevieRay its like you can start to see things

That whole show is amazing!

G. O. A. T.!! No one feels the music and is one with the guitar. Notice how he rarely looks at the guitar

Absolutely effortless, flawless and mesmerising. We will never see another SRV 😢

If anyone ever asks what it looks like when a mind is blown, just have them watch a reaction to SRV when he starts playing behind his back. It breaks people's brains and you can see it in their face.

Man!! You had the best facial reaction to date!!!! Your mind got blown 6 ways from Sunday!!! Great reaction!!!!!!

Any time someone is better live than in studio they’re the real deal! “Little Wing” at El Mocambo “Lenny” at El Mocambo “Voodoo Chile” Live in Texas!

Ah yes, the stank face! It will be glued on your face now. SRV gets into your soul and will live there forever. The world need a little love, peace and Stevie Ray right about ...now! Love this channel man. Can't get enough!

Thanks for your respect to SRV!!! He was a great person too!!! RIP Stevie! Thanks for leaving so much entertainment!!!

The expression on your face when SRV played behind his back is PRICELESS. Bless you sir.

Great reaction. What else can you say. Pure talent. Rest in peace SRV

There is no one like him, absolutely fantastic blues guitar player, singer and showman.

“Pure talent, pure legend, dominance of a musical instrument.” Beautifully put and couldn’t agree more

THE GOAT! The more I watch/listen to him, the more I realize...........HE IS THE GOAT!!!!

What the Hell? Yeah, that's SRV. Everytime I think I'm good on guitar I listen to him and realize I suck.

There are great guitarists, and there are NEXT LEVEL guitarists. SRV was without a doubt, a NEXT LEVEL guitarist.

SRV flows like H2O. Till this day, SRV, puts me in a particular mood when I get off work. I go to my chill zone. Rest in peace SRV.

I sadly only discovered him after his death. He basically brings tears to my eye with every chord.

The El Mocambo, or The Elmo, is a legendary club in Toronto that was a final leg for the Underground Railroad and helped Many former slaves escape to freedom. Respect from the 6!

“WHAT THE HELL!” Loved it, that’s all you can say when you see that the first time. 😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍

My man... what you just witnessed and experienced is hands down the best blues guitarist to ever play. The “stank” he put on his solo will shake your soul. Jimi was extraordinary but SRV was a manifestation of every great blues guitarist wrapped in lightning.

Severe "Stank Face" is inevitable anytime one listens to the late great Stevie Ray Vaughan!

BEST Blues Guitarist to ever grace the Earth, period.

Thank you for making my day, the look on your face :) Jimmy Page and Stevie Ray Vaughan are my top two favorite guitarist.

the best shit is when he walks up to the mic like he's about to sing, pulls back, drops 4 more bars of guitar.

I remember the day he died. I was bartending when someone walked in and asked if I'd heard the news. I was like what news. He said SRV died in a plane crash. I was stunned shocked devastated. It was so unreal. I put Stevie on the juke box. Everybody did a shot in his honor. A huge loss to the music world. He was absolutely in a league of his own. RIP

This entire show is a masterpiece. He ascended on that night to where his soul lives. There are 2 more songs from this show that are BEAUTIFUL guitar instrumentals. One of them is my absolute favorite guitar performance of all time, "Lenny" (Live at El Mocambo). The other one to watch is a cover of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing" (also El Mocambo), and in my opinion one of the best covers of all time.

Hey Brother, just found your reaction... I can Feel you Feeling the music Stevie is putting down..!!! Have you ever been lost in a musical experience that is so Beautiful and the next thing you know you feel tears on your cheeks..?! Stevie is one of the few performers that have done that to me..!!

He was literally the greatest! Life changing - once you go Stevie you will never go back!!!🎸🎸🎸🍒🍒🍒🔥🔥🔥😎

Watching folks react to SRV for the first time is my new favorite hobby. Love the enthusiasm.

Arguably the greatest to ever pick up a guitar, and I will fight anyone over that. His voice has been described as "honey poured over gravel". He also plays better behind his back than 98% of guitarists play in front. Check out him doing "Little wing" at the same concert or "Voodoo child" live. It'll change your life

It is VERY easy to get caught up in how good he was on guitar, and completely overlook how damned powerful a vocalist he was....

RIP Stevie Ray. Stevie and Jimi Hendrix could also both play with their teeth and behind their backs. RIP Jimi. Thanks for your great reaction!

We lost a Genius when he left us way too early! Imagine all the amazing music we would have had? I can only think God wanted to Jam in R&R Heaven to take him from us so early. RIP Stevie, we sure miss you down here!

I Love the guitar and hearing it play Stevie Ray Vaughan he was truly amazing gifted guartist and he also played by ear and I named my son after him I have twins a boy and a girl but my son is named Stephen Ray I just spelled different the world truly lost amazing artist now I like many others guartist but I always say Stevie Ray is the greatest blues guartist . I Love your reactions

I'm in Texas. It stormed last night. Today I ended up here.

I lived in Austin during his heyday and saw him live near A dozen times, A couple of times his brother Jimmy and his band were there too. I remember one outdoor concert it started raining pretty hard. The band had to leave the stage, but nearly the entire audience waited it out, standing in the rain, for Stevie Ray and Double Trouble to be able to retake the stage, about an hour later. It was worth it.

One day God said let there be guitar. Stevie Ray Vaughn stepped up and said thank you Lord.

Stevie Ray Vaughn gives me eargasams....

Well, this is officially my favorite reaction video. Brings me joy.

There is no better show to pick for your SRV reaction than Live at the El Mocambo. That whole show is legendary all the way through.

The first time I ever saw the video of him performing Lenny at the El Macombo, and realized he wrote it for his wife Lenora, for buying him a guitar, I cried. I am a grown ass man, and I cried because I knew I could never, ever, put that much emotion and love into anything I could ever accomplish. A more wonderful man, there never lived.

Love your reaction. We have all been touched by the magic of SRV. Love him and miss him! A true guitar legend....

Great reaction. Do more please

Life without You live, if you can find it, you see the joy he had after he come back from his addictions. The man just glowed.

When the Devil met Stevie at the Crossroads, he had nothing to trade for a soul that huge. He ended up getting lessons from Stevie, but when he swung it around behind his back, the Devil just sat down and cried. Stevie Ray Vaughan didn't PLAY the guitar; he WAS the guitar.

Loved your reaction and comments to the great SRV, but best of all, the look on your face said more than anything 👍🏾

Plays it better behind his back better than ANYONE who plays the guitar in front! The greatest ever!

I find I have to agree, SRV was indeed the real deal. God rest that man's soul.

There will never be any convincing me thar a better guitarist has ever walked this planet. This is simply spectacular and I've been a fan for 35 years.

SRV IS GOAT!!!

So under rated these days 😲 that's what I'm SAYING 😉

StevieRayVaughan must be watched on live video. Seeing and hearing him play live gives you the true measure of his greatness. The man is not just playing a song to entertain you, he is inviting to into his soul. If you accept the invitation, you will leave the experience a changed person. maybe with just a new appreciation of the blues, but maybe, just maybe, a self awareness of some part of your inner self you were not aware of.

THE G.O.A.T.! Awesome reaction! On your own, watch same song but different concerts. You won't be disappointed. Didn't play a song the same way twice. SRV totally loved what he was doing and so do we ❤ and high praise to Tommy Shannon and Chris Layton and later Reese Wyman (sp? ) who nail it along with SRV!

Good reaction. You appreciate Vaughn for who he was and he was great. At some levels it is hard to say who is the best ever but Stevie certainly merits being included in the discussion.

Simply the GOAT!!!!

Stevie Ray and Albert King , never get tired of hearing their music. We are thankful to have had them as long as we did.

Finally a reaction that is as raw as Stevies playing. You will get the same intensity in every live video because this man leaves everything on stage. Stevie started playing at the age of 7. He was inspired by 1st and foremost his big brother Jimmy Vaughn a legend in his own right, other legendary artists include B.B King, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, Albert King and many other legends that paved the way for other artists to put their spin on the blues. The world mourned the loss of the worlds greatest guitarist. They say he played "like a man on fire". Stevie Ray Vaughn untimely death shocked the world but will always stay in our hearts forever.

I wish Stevie Ray was alive today so he could see the love he gets from everybody blacks, whites, Latin, woman. I went to an SRV CONCERT years ago and saw every race creed gender color and gender gather around it in peace. I truly think and and believe in my own ferry tail the man could have changed the world.i mean the love a passion just oozes out of him...that’s for sharing...✌️🇺🇸🎸🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶

Awesome reaction and welcome to the SRV club. A few things. SRV played with .13 gauge strings (most do around .09 guage). You need to watch the SRV Hall of Fame induction. Also, how BB King & Eric Clapton describe SRV. Watch Voodoo Chile live at Macombo, only SRV can do Hendricks better than Hendricks.

Stevie, Tommy and Chris all talked about the spiritual connection they had musically but more importantly they spiritual connection they had as human beings. Peace.

My goodness but your eyes got big when Stevie flipped that damn guitar around behind him. But it was your “What the hell!…” that made me laugh out loud. SRV took you on that life changing journey. Welcome aboard.

LOLthe expression when SRV does the whip-around!

Great reaction Syd when he flipped the guitar around his back...poignant comments and not too many, good job brother you got a sub out of me!!!

Just Stevie being Stevie......The Best

Hi from London England Brother. LOVE your reaction, very heart felt and true. I play Guitar and unfortunately for me discovered SRV late, i'm in my Forties. Has been life changing for me I swear, I WILL visit Dallas and Austin one day, its a bucket list thing for me to Visit Stevie's resting place, his statue and the clubs he and Double Trouble performed in....Watching this gave me goosebumps, always does. RIP Stevie x

One of the best reaction videos I have seen for Texas Flood!

He was unreal...a true talent from God!!!!! I wish I could watch him live again!!

Stevie is the GOAT !

Try "Life Without You" at the Capital Theater on for size. BB King was quoted as saying, "I've said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed."
