No words can truly do justice to describe how this man played

He broke the D string, and he's tuned down half a step, with heavy gauge, 13's, dude was a monster guitarist

The great thing about Stevie Ray was you could see him play a song 3 days in a row and it would be different each time, the only thing not different was how epic each performance was!

It's a foxes tail in his hat. Love it but then I love everthing about SRV.

Life Without You (Capitol Theatre version) is a must by him. Every performance of his is special and unique to me, but that one stands out. Gives a really fuckin' good speech in the middle too.

No one can touch him. The G.O.A.T.

🤠 Stevie said, "Who needs six strings?🤷 Not me!" 😂🎸💙

His career span only 7 years, his album Texas Flood debuted in 1983 he was the 1st Musician inducted into the Austin Music Hall Of Fame in 1982, Blues Hall Of Fame in 2000, he won 6 Grammys, 10 Austin Music Awards, 5 W.C. Handy Awards, he was Entertainer Of The Year, Instermental Of The Year, he was nominated for 51 Awards and won 21 and it's sad that he only had one #1 hit with Crossfire. He's last album was In Step it was his 4th album in 1989 and was the most successful releases. He inspired so many other guitar players when he was inducted into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2015 John Meyer said because of his idol Stevie Ray Vaughan he turned down every drink and drug offered to him because he wanted to be just like Stevie Ray. Stevie was beyond amazing he was in a class all of his own, there will never be another Stevie Ray Vaughan EVER.

When I was a teenager here in Brazil I was randomly switching channels on my TV and all a sudden I saw this guy wearing a cowboy hat and playing the sh*t out of the guitar. My jaw litteraly dropped...And in my mind I said to myself: "He is the best in the world". Never changed my mind since then...

SRV ~ 🎸🐐 **Life Without You at Capitol Theater **

Stevie used very heavy gauge strings on his guitars, and because his fingers are so strong, he would still breaks them. He had very fast and strong fingers, and we were blessed to see him play, even though his life was cut short.

“Are you not entertained?” - I’m sure that Gladiator movie live was written down seconds after seeing this video back in the day. SRV = GOAT Then - Now - Forever

I learned blues when listening to SRV❤️

Pretty much any video of Stevie is phenomenal. He breaks a string playing Look at Little Sister and does a seamless guitar swap mid song, But another great one is Stevie and Jimmie (his brother) playing a dual necked guitar on the song Pipeline.

Stevie was incredible. This is actually a Jimi Hendrix cover. You might want to check out Jimi as he was the inspiration for a whole generation of guitarists including Stevie.

👏👋👏🙌🎸🎶‼️ great reaction and welcome the best Rabbit Hole there is. Make yourself comfortable and prepared to be truly moved and awestruck. And yes you are right. That guitar is as much a part of him as his other facilities. He completely owns the guitar and it gives voice to this man's heart and soul. And that is the thing. He was a really humble great guy and very much loved by all who knew him. The 31st anniversary of his passing is coming up on August 27th. It would be very fitting if you reacted to "Life Without You" live at the Capitol Theatre. Stevie wrote that song after his good friend Charley, a Dallas guitar shop owner, passed away suddenly. Part of the lyrics is thanking his friend for the love he passed our way. Those are the same words engraved on his grave marker. He vocals are so tender and emotional, has to switch out an out of tune guitar, plays so exquisitely, gives a short heartfelt message, and is a must watch. "Life With You" is what we will be thinking about Stevie on that date.

Yes he sang, and he sang goooooood 😎 I have never seen a musician as comfortable with an instrument as Stevie, he was unique.

If you want to see him in a very bluesy and thoughtful song, find Tin Pan Alley. there is so much soul in his playing with one of HIS heroes Johnny Copland!

All hail Stevie, the Ultimate Guitar God. The best there was, and ever will be.

Was fortunate enough to see him live twice, what a legend, channeling Hendrix - Stevie broke a lot of strings-lol

Alot of people will say "no Steve Ray isn't the best it's Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai ect " but when you can show me anyone that could play as long as Stevie Ray behind his back, play with one hand, his teeth, use his elbow, pick the guitar, adjust his Amp, tune his guitar and play with a broken string and switch guitar in the middle of a performance then we can talk. Stevie Ray Vaughan was, is and will always be THE GOAT and there will never be another Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Breathtaking God given talent.

You should listen to him play this song when he plays other venues. I've never heard him play it the same way twice. It's a new experience very time. Just amazing!

"Life Without You" at capital theater he breaks a tooth! A must see...trust me.

This SRV song is best appreciated if you know Jimi Hendrix' version. Stevie Ray is covering it, to a tee, with a little embellishment. OHO! At the end he's doing a tribute to Jimi at Monterey. Jimi and Stevie Ray jamming in heaven. Hang on, guys! I'll be there shortly.

Stevie Ray IS tge Guitar. ❤❤❤❤

His singing peaks on 'Ain't Gonna Give Up On Love,'. Capital Theatre or Daytona...(Black suit/black hat) SRV MEDIA/VIDEO. described as 'honey over gravel'. Yeah, THAT.

Is there anything this man couldn't do? This performance is epic, historical and just freaking awesome. Every version of Voodoo chile is unique and I think I love this one the best. I think, I don't know, maybe, not sure, if I cud just stop being🤯 by them, maybe I cud decide. Maybe, I think, I don't know, not certain, uh... ☮️

"Superstition" Check out the official by Stevie Wonder, then the official SRV cover. Wonder makes a cameo.

creeping to the mic every single time I love it

I love that Stevie Ray's wah-pedal use to be Jimi Hendricks, Jimi Hendrix gave it to Steve's brother Jimmy Vaughan when Jimmy's band played on the same bill as Hendrix in Fort Worth, Texas and Jimmy Vaughan gave it to Stevie.

You can’t comprehend this shit. You just can’t. 🤣🤣 So true. SRV 🐐

13 guage strings 6 grams of cocaine daily and a quart of whiskey for good measure. Got sober in the late 80's and then got killed in a helicopter accident. RIP Stevie ❤️

Goat! Hands down ,no contest!

🤠 I think that broken middle string filed for "Workman's Comp." !!! 😂🤕

Thumbs up before I even get to the song. Love your reactions brother! Now, if you want a completely different SRV experience, check out Riviera Paradise. Omg makes ya wanna just get a glass of scotch and a stogie and just chill.

To really appreciate his Blues vocal chops as well as more kick ass playing, check out “Tin Pan Alley” with Stevie Ray and Johnny Copeland. Then you can check out the most beautiful love song, even without words, with “Lenny “ from the live El Macombo performance. Unreal.

Dude was a pure BADASS ha ha

This old beat up guitar he called wife#1 or just #1. He play's Jimmy Hendrix then he play's Jimmy Hendrix behind his back then sings without missing a beat. I was able to see him live in Austin Texas in 1988 my wife was so excited we had to go back to the hotel so she could shower and change clothes.

It continues to get better. Please Review his LEAVE MY GIRL ALONE

You gotta check out his guitar sound check where he is wearing a leopard coat

Check out Stevie and his brother Jimmy play a double neck fender together! His brother Jimmy Vaughan is amazing!

Check out Stevie Ray and JEff Healey together, the song Look at Little Sister. Unbelievable! Jeff is a great guitar player also, and I've never seen anyone else play it the way he does, like a piano. Enjoy ur reactions! 👍

Oh it gets pretty good. If you want to experience SRV the storyteller and masterful live performer, check out: “Tin Pan Alley” live with Johnny Copeland. Unbelievable! We wouldn’t lie to you!!!🔥🔥🔥

I went to high school with him ,check Rocky Athas also they started playing together in fourth grade !!!

Stevie was mad at his guitar 🎸 so he beat it up 😂

I think the one of him dressed in black and white live in Austin is the most amazing one.

Told you that you would question your sanity looking at this! 😘🤣

Punitive measures were necessary at the end of the song, take that guitar!... for breaking a string.🤣

Life without you, live at Capitol theater.

Although this is a cover of Jimi Hendrix song voodoo chile, (yes that is the correct spelling) And if you listen carefully Stevie ray actually does say chile not child. I must say to you though, this is the only cover of that song that you would swear it was Jimi Hendrix channeling through Stevie. He does embellish a little bit here and there, but it is it is within the spirit like I said of Jimi Hendrix

There’s a reason TikTokers don’t try to imitate him. It’s not possible. 🎸

Look also at Brad Paisley‘s „ The Father he didn‘t have to be“

Best ever

❤️to srv forever , check out little sister , live from Texas , amazing what he do

Performance épica !!!

Excellent Listen to same son live at el mocombo Toronto

Stevie's drummer needs more credit

The next one I would do a reaction to would be his song, "Lenny" ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n5ujpK1_q6zboZc.html ). I further shows just how much Stevie is on a totally different level than ANY other musician. Great reaction, "D". Really enjoyed it!

And he used the heaviest strings they make.. They were so thick....

Hey man I need for you to react to little wings by Stevie Ray👍🏽

Don’t forget Jerry’s kids ok? 🤣🤣

Those are 13 gauge strings btw.

Snapping the d string on 13 gauges is absurd

Check out the Voodoo Chile version on the PBS program Austin City Limits .... unbelievable ...

Anybody know if this show was at the Ryman Auditorium? And that was a fantastic performance.

It's not a feather it's a fox tail. It's Native American. ❤❤

God

please react to lenny live at el mocambo

R I P SRV 8/1990 died in a tragic helicopter crash.

You need to hear this but when his wearing black the audio is better and his playing much better

💥

Ohhhh ! Please react to him and Jeff Healey do look at little sister and BTW if you wanna watch another master guitarist .....Jeff Healey is blind and the way he plays will literally knock you on your Ass 😂 Just watch a video of his sometime before you react to it and you'll sit around with another puzzled look on your face 😂 Just like everyone else does and him and SRV were pretty good buddies back in the day and sad to know that both are gone .

Hes playing 13 gauge stringed axe behind his back

Not even jimmi played behind his back

Texas flood out of this world....it just gets better.

Look at Mr. Jimi Hendrix do the song. Mr. S R V is doing his cover of it.

a true master.r.i.p.

SRV.. What can you say.. Greatness. If you like great guitar like me you gotta react to some Steve Vai.. Building the church live. The one with like 1.4 million views. Bad Horsie.. Vevo. For the love of God with orchestra.. Whispering a prayer.. Tender Surrender.. To name a few. I think you'll enjoy if you like guitar 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸😎

if you play the guitar this can go one of two ways. if your an optimist by nature you say to yourself if Stevie can do it I'm gonna practice and practice till I can do it. if your a realist like me you sell your guitar and buy a tamborine

Check out Stevie Ray Vaughan Soundcheck video.

dishing jimi

There is a better version of this on YT not sure of where he was maybe Austin but the audio is much better.

Hey D not for nothing but the voodoo child we’re his wearing all black it’s better in my opinion you should check it out and sounds better thanks

The night Nashville burned down

"Life Without You" live at the Capitol theater. It's even better than this one. Take it to the bank.

Check out Stevie Ray Vaughan “Testify” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdqZnZyQy7LMe3U.html live at El Mocambo

Cool Jimi couldn't make stank-face as good as SRV! I'm sure Jimi sweated too, but not in buckets like SRV! Talk about a "Texas Flood"! WHAT?! No playin' his axe with his teeth like Jimi? This guy's a "wanna be." 😏

I see two thumbs down......... Really!

Tin Pan Alley. Texas Flood

I see a Justin Bieber fan disliked real awesomeness

Damn…as good as this is, there’s a much better live version.

Nobody wants to watch the drummer

It's not a feather it's a fox tail. It's Native American. ❤❤
