    The year before he died he did a concert in my town. Before the show he came into a pawn shop to look at guitars, something he did often, and sat down for a 20 minute jam session with a couple local muscians. Those of us who were there stood quietly in awe as this legend played. Nobody said a word, we just soaked in the sound. A moment I will never forget.

      Thats a great experience to have. I saw him once live, in 1986 in Melbourne. It was a double bill with The Fabulous Thunderbirds. A great show. Jimmy came out on stage and played with his brother on couldn't Stand the Weather. I seem to remember in the encore Stevie walking back on stage with a twin necked guitar, and he squatted down and started playing, then his brother joined him, stood behind him and played on the other neck of the guitar.

      Jeff Beck and Stevie Ray Vaughan toured together, they flipped a coin for who would open for who the first show. They alternated opening each subsequent show, respecting each other’s chops. It really was two shows, with Jeff Healey opening for the pair when I saw them. Jeff Healey, a young player showed he belonged as a young hot guitar player coming up.

    A blues icon unlike any other. A man who took the style of Hendrix and injected pure Texas desert blues with a nice dash of pure rock n' roll into it, and created a sound in the 80s that even to this day no one has ever been able to imitate or equal. Pure soul and pure feel. RIP SRV.

    He was good friends with BB King and Albert King and all of the greats, and pretty much without exception they all said that Stevie was the greatest they had ever seen. Eric Clapton said it best when he said Stevie was like a conduit. He didn't play the music, but rather allowed it to flow through him. He was also extremely humble and one of the nicest people you'd ever meet. I fear we will never see another person as talented, and if we did they would undoubtedly lack the humility and grace of SRV. RIP Stevie

    Stevie, growing up, always thought himself ugly. Socially embarrassed, he hid himself in his room, pouring his loneliness and blues into his only friend, his guitar. Even after being coaxed out of his room to grace us with his talent, he still hid behind his signature black hat.

    Anyone that has never heard SRV never expects the voice that comes out of him. The man had more soul in his fingernail clippings than I've ever heard from anyone else in the blues genre. And he mostly used his his guitar to express it. Every note that came out of his instrument was a whole verse, in itself.

    This is the first time I've heard Stevie's voice called "delicious" and I can't agree with you more!
    As for the El Mocambo - affectionately known as the "Elmo" by us Torontonians - was a small venue, seating about 400 that was an old haunt of mine back in the 70's & 80's. They had incredible bands that were just about to explode on the music scene - Cheap Trick, Blondie, Meatloaf, Tom Waits, U2, Elvis Costello, Joan Jett, Ramones.....and so many more. Think the biggest band that played there (1977?) was a one-nighter with The Rolling Stones, advertised as The Cockroaches. No one had a clue they were the Stones!

    What's amazing is, is that SRV would pop 13 gauge strings all the time. I tried to play 13 gauge strings once, I couldn't bend them at all and they were exhausting to hold down. This performance is what happens when all the cosmic tumblers click into place and the channel between the artists and the universe is wide open without any interference.

      Yeah, there are a couple of interesting videos on TH-cam documenting Stevie switching out guitars in the middle of a song without missing a beat after breaking a string. The man was just an awesome performer. Whether or not he was the GOAT is really subjective but he is most certainly up there with them. A lot of his contemporaries certainly thought very highly of his skill. Agree about Double Trouble being beasts and when Reese Wynan joins with his keyboard artistry it's pretty magical.

      Every time he played one of my acoustic guitars he had to be careful as I never ran heavy strings like he did. One of my best memories from my time in Dallas was jamming with him and Boz Skaggs out by my pool until the sun came up. That was in the early mid '70's but it is one of my treasured memories.

I was going to UT, and he was playing the club scene in Austin 7 nights a week and slept on pool tables with his brother Jimmy. I last saw Stevie in LA at the Greek Theater about 5 days before he passed. Music hasn't been the same since.

    This song is an epitome of what everything blues is about, a relationship gone bad, his heart in turmoil, his guitar crying, in pain, confused and then angry. But realizes what she has done to him, putting the relationship behind him as he put the guitar behind him. Leaving her brought him relief. Stevie didn't plan this out, he played this song from his heart and guts as one with his instrument.
    It just happens to be the greatest performance by any musician ever recorded. Said by many great musicians any instrument. Also said by me. This is a lot deeper than many perceive. This song brings me sad tears, mad emotions, and some relief every time I hear it. I feel it...

Oh, and “Little Wing” from this concert - no vocals but it’s a beautiful performance. Stevie was mesmerizing.

      Kick that legend to the curb. Though the Devil is always looking to make a deal, it's never a fair one. He's wickedly transactional and manipulative, whereas God is not. The Heavenly Father gives freely out of His goodness, hoping for us and helping us to make the most of what He gives. And you can see an example of God's generosity in Stevie Ray Vaughan. It goes beyond the natural talent, beyond the physical capacity, beyond the intuitive senses given Stevie and far beyond the open channel to develop and display those amazing gifts. The Lord helped SRV understand and avail himself of the strength to overcome his early exposure to alcohol and drugs and the music scene's reinforcement of the addictions that had taken hold. And more, beyond that! In his humility, Stevie Ray... at the foot of the Cross... was given a much greater Gift at the foot of the Cross, which even Death by helicopter could not rob.

    Hi Britt. Stevie did break a lot of strings lol. In fact there are vids on YT of him playing live and a string pops. He keeps playing and his guitar tech (who was also the best in the biz) comes out with another guitar and they swap them out without missing a beat. BB King had an almost father/son relationship. BB used to tell folks that he was Stevie's godfather. There was a TV special that had all the best guitar players around on. I think (if I remember correctly) SRV was touring or something and missed the show. So all these other guys are on stage. BB, Albert King, Eric Clapton and many more. They were asked (kind of jokingly) OK guys who is the best guitar player around today? Nobody said anything until BB said "Well Stevie is doing some interesting things". Every one of them said yeah Stevie is probably the one. BB has also said that SRV was better than Jimi Hendrix. Huge loss when he passed.

He was a conduit, a channel who knew perfectly well enough to be continually inventive and fresh, indeed - giving the impression of endless creative flow. He was heavily influenced by Albert King, Jimi Hendrix, Kenny Burrell, Hound Dog Taylor, T-Bone Walker and many others, and whilst he can quote them at ease, he fused everything into his own inimitable voice - one note and you know it's him, like BB King, Albert Collins, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Johnson and so many other unique guitar voices.
