I was fortunate to see and hear him play live on 3 occassions. they were all amazing but the final time was really special because he was sober! i was a big fan. since the day he died i just dont listen to his music. it makes me too sad.

25 years. Doesn’t seem real. SRV was one of the best. Still missing my fellow Texan.

I saw him live in a small’ish venue many, many years ago back in the 80s. Robert Cray opened for him. It was quite a magical night.

Based upon the research of Malcolm Gladwell published in the book “Outliers”, it is likely we will soon witness a proliferation of outstanding guitar players as a large number of musicians reach the 10,000 hour mark.

I hope so. Doesn’t it seem like we haven’t had any good rock bands for 20 years now?

I always thought he did the Hendrix stuff better than Hendrix himself.

The guy standing to the right of Stevie is Duke Robillard. I had played keyboards with Duke (Mike) way back in the day when we began first playing the blues. He and a keyboard friend of mine, Al Copley, went on to create from that origin what was to be known as the Roomful of Blues.
Duke later when on to play with the Fabulous Thunderbirds when Jimmie Vaughan left to play with his brother Stevie. The T-birds had another Westerly, Rhode Island boy playing drums with them ... Fran Christina

He used to play the Concerts on the Pier (57th st NYC) saw him several times there.
The image of him lying on his back at the front of the stage playing Little Wing is burned into my memory.

My absolute favorite Stevie song is “Riviera Paradise”. He’s got a lot of good ones, but that’s my fav. Gotta have a lot of admiration and respect for someone who make a guitar (any instrument for that matter) sing like that.
To: Mariner
“Texas Flood” for me.
I posed next to his statue next to Lady Bird Lake in Austin a few years ago. Then I heard that where I stood was flooded in a real Texas flood. Sort of a circle completed.

I was at that concert. It was a horrible night. A many year loving relationship with my fiancé ended that night as well.
To: FunkyZero
It may be sacrilege, but I thought that his version of “Little Wing” was an improvement on Jimi’s. So much expression in it, such feeling.

Wow, time goes by. I saw him live close to a dozen times and attribute my Tinnitus mostly to that.....among other things.
Truly one of the best and so sad he was taken after he cleaned up. He didn't play, it 'flowed' through him....
Awesome in-studio gig with Albert King....
