Stevie Ray Vaughn was awesome!

[Shell Beau]

Listening to him now and he was one of the BESTEST!!!

[asthmaticeog]

1. But he stomped on KITTIES!

:(

[Shell Beau]

2. Well we all have our downfalls, right?

[latebloomer]

23. What do you mean?

You're not serious, are you?

[malta blue]

3. I saw his last concert at Alpine Valley

in East Troy, WI. He played with Eric Clapton, and the next morning, when I went to the common room in my dorm, I was greeted with the news.

[Shell Beau]

6. Aww, well, you got to hear a legendary musical genius!

[malta blue]

8. Absolutely. eom

[Maddy McCall]

19. I saw him in Jackson, MS, in 1990. It was a kick-ass concert...

one of the five best that I've ever seen.

[mdmc]

4. oh

[DS1]

5. Meh, he's no Jack White

:yoiks:

[Shell Beau]

9. AAAAHHHHHH!!!

That is true though! He is DEFINITELY no Jack White, thank GOD!!

[no name no slogan]

10. Yeah, one Jack White is too many

When will the White Skidmarks go away?

[Shine]

7. Yup, it was a great loss when he died.

what talent...

O8)

[Taverner]

11. Yes he was indeed

Could you imagine if he were alive today, and played with Panic???

[Shell Beau]

12. He's too good for Panic! Although, I know they are inspired

by his music! But that would be an awesome show!

[MissMillie]

13. When he was sober, he sure was

I saw him when he was drunk. Not worth the price of admission.

[Shell Beau]

14. Yeah, I guess that would suck!

[Missy Vixen]

15. I miss him still

A group of my guy friends and I saw him a couple of years before he died at the Everett Civic Auditorium in Everett, WA. ("In Step" had just been released.) We were in the second row. It was the most amazing show I have ever seen. For those who didn't know, before Stevie Ray Vaughan died in the helicopter crash, he'd gotten off everything. He'd even quit smoking. The vast majority of guys sitting in the row with me were from NA; they brought their keychains with 'em. He could see us from the stage. The more those keychains twirled in the air, the harder he played.

I couldn't hear for three days afterwards. It was worth it.

[Shell Beau]

16. Awesome!! I would have loved to have been there!

[Orsino]

17. Remember when he played guitar?

That was awesome.

[Shell Beau]

18. Is that that Chris Farley skit?

:rofl:

[Kat45]

20. Saw him in concert 3 times. Once with Jeff Beck.

Good shows, all.

[Left Is Write]

21. Yes, he was. Hard to believe he's been gone 15½ years.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

22. Met him once in a Howard Johnson's.......

in Pittsburgh, PA. A buddy and myself happened in there looking for directions to the Syria Mosque, where he was playing that night. While we were waiting on somebody to help us, he came up to the counter and paid his tab. We chatted for a moment, and explained to him that we were originally coming up to see The Pretenders, but since they had canceled their show (due to the death of their sound-man, we later found out), we were coming to see him play. Really nice fella, and very short.
