Stevie is highly regarded as the GOAT. There is a reason every great blues artist of the day wanted to collaborate with him. He usually kept three guitars strung up for his live performances because he regularly broke 12 gage strings (which is ridiculous). Check out video of him making guitar changes without missing a beat.

You want his best? IMO the greatest live performance ever - Texas Flood at El Macambo. If you ever heard of Robert Johnson selling his soul to the devil for guitar fame and the story of the crossroads. It's the performance I'd put up against the devil himself!!!

Believe it or not Stevie Ray Vaughan has never been #1 on any list of best guitarist of all time which I have never understood, show me any guitarist who had stage presents and could play behind his head, backwards, one hand, broken string, switch guitar in the middle of a solo and never missed a beat, tune his guitar while playing, adjust his AMP'S while playing one handed, teeth, elbow and could play behind his back longer than anyone ever could. Stevie Ray started playing guitar at the age of 7, his brother Jimmie Vaughan who is a great guitarist In his own right and had a band called The Fabulous Thunderbirds and was 3 years older than Stevie Ray had an electric guitar that Stevie Ray loved. On Stevie Ray's 7th birthday he got a toy guitar even though it was a toy he learned to play Wine Wine, Wine and Thunderbird by The Night Caps (on a toy guitar). His guitar was named #1 he called it that because he said it's his first wife but it doesn't tell him what to do and it doesn't yell 😂 he bought the guitar at Ray Henny's Heart Of Texas Music Shop in 1974, the guitar used to belong to another artist named Christopher Cross. He was on The Tonight Show and Fender had designed a Stevie Ray brand guitar and he is playing that guitar on the show but before he went on Stevie Ray realized there wasn't the SRV on the guitar so Rene Martinez his guitar tech had to find some stickers, put then on his guitar and he went on to play, sadly Stevie Ray passed away before Fender and Stevie Ray could seal the deal. Stevie Ray's career only span 7 yrs but he had collected alot of awards, on December 13,1983 Austin City Limits video was voted Guitar Player Magazine's Best New Talent, Best Electric Blues Guitar Player and Best Guitar Album with Texas Flood he and Jeff Beck are the only Triple Award Guitarist ever and on November 8,1984 Stevie Ray won a W.C.Handy National Blues Award, Entertainer Of The Year and Instermental Of The Year, Stevie Ray was the first white person to win either. On August 13, 1990 just 2 weeks before his death all 5 of his albums sold over 500,000 copies and certified gold, in 1982 he was inducted into The Austin Music Hall Of Fame, in 2000 he was inducted into The Blues Hall Of Fame and in 2015 he was inducted into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. It's sad to know Stevie Ray never got to enjoy a #1 hit, his song Crossfire hit #1 2 months after his death. On August 26, 1990 Stevie Ray went to East Troy Wisconsin to open 2 shows for Eric Clapton along with Robert Clay, Buddy Guy and his brother Jimmie Vaughan both shows were sold out 40,000 fans for $29 a seat.on August 27,1990 after Eric Clapton finish his show Stevie Ray, Buddy Guy, Robert Clay and Jimmie Vaughan went on stage with Eric Clapton and performed Sweet Home Chicago by Robert Johnson, after the show Stevie Ray boarded a helicopter that crashed into the side of a mountain right after takeoff and everyone on board were killed instantly. The pilot had just failed his test on using the gages for the helicopter, that was the first time he flew that helicopter and he never flew at night so needless to say it was pilot error. Stevie Ray Vaughan imo WILL ALWAYS BE THE GOAT and he is so missed.

Stevie Ray had and wore many hats on and off the stage ie: 'newsboy' flat cap, western style, cowboy hats, knitted caps, straw hats and his signature black hat, the 'Plateau' with a black satin band or commonly referred to by his fans as the "Stevie Ray Vaughan'. Texas Hatters, located in Texas, was SRV's go-to-hat shop when he needed something new for a show. The hats were custom made and came in different colors like purple, brown, white, tan, red and black. He also wore the hats with faux animal tails attached. This song #Voodoo Chile was originally written and performed by the late, great Jimi Hendrix in 1969. Stevie was a huge fan of Jimi's and also covers #Third Stone from the Sun, #Little Wing and #Manic Depression by Hendrix. Stevie was born in Texas, 1954. Even tho he and his older brother Jimmy were well known around the Texas music scene since their early teens, the rest of the U.S. hadn't heard of him really until he and his band #Double Trouble debut their #Texas Flood album in 1983. You are obviously quite young #Azi and perhaps live in another country .. so don't feel bad or apologetic that you have never heard of SRV before now. The point is .. now you have. You have been introduced to a true blues legend .. and there have been many blues artists and legends before Stevie. What made SRV stand out from the rest was his guitar playing. He couldn't read music and never took a lesson. He was self-taught, playing by ear. While other 'good' guitarists played/play loud 'n' fast and sounding a bit rehearsed, almost identical to the studio versions during their LIVE performances .. Stevie Ray was plum full of genuine raw talent. He played with his heart, soul and a effortless conviction. He NEVER played the same song the same way twice. Look closely at him performing #Little Wing at the 'El Mocambo'. He is on some other planet and extremely 'zoned out'. Just the shell of his body is left on stage until his subconscious suddenly snaps him out of it and back to reality. Whatever he was feeling at the moment on stage, he was capable of channeling those emotions thru the strings. Every note/sound can literally be felt by the listener. NO ONE can take the sounds Stevie created, convert them into notes and then write it down on paper. There is a video of SRV and the band 'rehearsing' before a show. I don't believe he is seen 'rehearsing' the songs tho. Stevie could musically ad-lib the sounds he heard in his head. I think he and the guys were just passing time and 'rehearsing' beat timing. Unfortunately, I never had the pleasure of seeing Stevie Ray Vaughan LIVE before his untimely death in a 1990 helicopter crash after a 2 day show in Wisconsin. So when I pass away .. I hope there is a Texas juke joint some where in heaven and Stevie Ray Vaughan is the main attraction .. just after Jimi Hendrix sets the mood with a killer opening and exits the stage. Other SRV's videos to check out .. #Texas Flood/#Little Wing/#Lenny/#Third Stone from the Sun .. LIVE @ El Mocambo #Tin Pan Alley w/Johnny Copeland .. LIVE @ Montreux #Champagne and Marijuana w/Buddy Guy .. LIVE #Life Without You/#Couldn't Stand the Weather/#Ain't Gonna Give Up on Love/#Change It .. LIVE @ Capital Theater #TightRope/#Crossfire/#Mary Had A Little Lamb/#Cold Shot .. LIVE @ Austin City Limits #Matchbox Blues/#Don't Lie to Me/(anything w/Albert King from #In Session) Audio cuts .. #Shake for Me .. #Long Way from Home .. #Manic Depression (LIVE) .. #All Your Lovin' (I Miss Lovin') LIVE .. #They Call Me Guitar Hurricane .. #Crosscut Saw .. #These Blues are Killing Me There are plenty more audio 'n' video cuts to enjoy. RIP Stevie Ray Vaughan #Forever35

Stevie got a couple pointers from big brother Jimmie .. but the rest was all on Stevie Ray. He said he would put on the records of popular artists that were lying around in the home. He would practice for hours everyday.literally listening to and playing by ear. He listened until he 'found' that same sound/note on the guitar neck. Then continue practicing until he had the artists songs memorized. BTW ... Did I mention the fact that lil' Stevie was 7 when he picked up his first guitar?

Yes, to many folks, and I'm on that list, he WAS the greatest guitarist of all time. This performance, and Stevie's mainstream career, was actually in the 80's. The hat was a trademark of his. He single-handedly revived the blues, and yes, there's lots of his stuff out there to explore. Also, Stevie was as humble and sweet as he was an incredible guitarist. He kicked a horrendous cocaine and alcohol habit in 1986, and lived the next fours years clean and sober until 1990, a year after this performance, when he was killed tragically in a helicopter accident. But what a legacy he left us!

SRV ~ 🎸🐐 The goatiest goat in all of goatness This particular vid was filmed in 1989 at Austin City Limits, a music venue in Austin, Texas. No correlation in regards to the hats. Stevie was a Texan and the hat was simply a cultural thing. Plus, it had the cool factor going on. 😎 It's important to note that Stevie had recovered from serious drug and alcohol addiction by late 1986. From late 1986 until his death in 1990 (helicopter crash) he was clean and sober and tried to help others beat addiction. While he was a monster on the guitar, in person, he was a kind and humble soul and is sorely missed by his fanbase. Do yourself a HUUUUGE favor: **Texas Flood at El Macambo** **Life Without You at Capitol Theater** Texas Flood at El Macambo is one of THE greatest guitar performances ever caught on film. Regardless of genre (Blues). It was filmed in 1983 in Toronto. Life Without You at Capitol Theater is a tribute to his friend, Charley Wirz, who had passed away. Simply amazing.

You must react to SRV "Texas Flood" live at El Mocambo to see how good he really is. He shreds behind his back just because he can. He's the best of all time and his vocals are good as well

Killed in a helicopter crash at age 35, another GOAT gone far too early. There is a book out entitled "SRV TEXAS FLOOD The Inside Story of STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN" written by Alan Paul and Andy Aledort c 2019 that details a close up and personal look at SRVs life as well as those around him. Above all else this man was a kind and gentle sole of a human being. Thanks for reacting. Leave My Little Girl Alone has always been a favorite of mine as only SRV can do it. Peace out, be well.

Yes, my friend... once you've peeled back the lid on a can of Stevie Ray Vaughan, you can never return to a state where you haven't experienced that level of greatness. You'll want more and more. But, it's a marvelous journey! That old Stratocaster was named Number One or First Wife by SRV. Stevie bought it VERY used from Heart of Texas Music in Austin, Texas in the mid-70s. That hat was hand-crafted by Manny Gammage of Texas Hatters in Austin. Originally called the Plateau, it was renamed "the SRV" in Stevie's honor. People have loosely referred to that hat as a "Mexican cowboy hat." I'll recommend more of Stevie's music on KZitem in my next post...

Love your reaction ... as some people have pointed out SRV is most probably one of the greatest electric blues guitarists to ever strap on a strat. He is from Texas so the Stetson hat is both natural and iconic. This version of "Voodoo Child" is a cover of a song originally done by Jimi Hendrix, whom SRV deeply admired. However if you want to experience what is universally revered as the most epic, powerful and emotionally gut-wrenching guitar solo ever recorded check out "Comfortably Numb" from Pink Floyd's 1995 live concert "Pulse". It is not just a great piece of music - it a deeply moving encounter with the transcendent.

WOW is right. You've witnessed greatness. Sounds like he's playing 2or3 guitars. Virtuoso, master of his craft. Gone but never ever forgotten. You've got to react to Texas Flood, El Mocambo. You'll barely be able to wrap your head around what you'll be seeing. I won't be a spoiler about that performance, but it's a jaw-dropper. Like the Texan he was, Stevie wore the coolest hats. He was super cool and had straight up swagger. He was a shotgun fast shredder on guitar, and as for strumming, I suggest watching Tin Pan Alley w/ Johnny Copeland, and Dirty Pool from Montreux, Switzerland. Stevie was just incredible, and I actually can't live a day without his sound. RIP, King SRV. 🎸👽💔💙. ☮️to all.
