I thank God every time I hear this that I got to see him do it live a few times (and forever will be proud I saw how the beloved Big Head Todd cut his teeth on this and other SRV gems) back in the day...
Thanks, RP for keeping it all alive and connected and fully energized!

Ha! was just thinking of how that Stone Roses tune sounds exactly like SRV's version of Voodoo Chile. Perfect segue!!

Stevie's mentor from the early days, Doyle Bramhall, passed away peacefully in his sleep Saturday night. He will be sorely missed not only in Austin but world wide for his contribution (some say invention) of modern blues. RIP, Doyle.

Some purists argue SRV was just 'lots of notes without any soul'. E'erybody's entitled to their opinion, so hey. But this tune, this tune really is a ton of notes! Why d'ya think it's called 'Scuttlebuttin'? Stevie is up there 'cutting heads', and nobody, NOBODY could do it better. He is showin' off here, that's no secret. I contend he's showin' off with soul too, but hey.

In my experience, that "lots of notes with no soul" remark often is dispersed by people who are not musicians. It could be said about Alvin Lee, perhaps, even to non-musicians, but (I think) not to SRV.

Spent years at Fitzgerald's in Houston being around SRV before the HUGE fame hit. Back in those days we'd have to help him on stage sometimes (Pre sober days)...but he still never missed a lick, even high. We all knew just before Texas Flood came out that we were looking at some of the last times he'd play Fitz's. We even had semi-going-away parties (any excuse for a partay, eh?)...then it happened just as predicted. Our best buddy the sound man at Fitz's, James Buralge (still buddies to this day), agreed to be his soundman on tour. One day they were playing that hoppin' beer joint and the next they were in Germany opening for David Bowie. Miss you soooo much Stevie.


I loved that place. Saw Poi Dog there several times, also Stick People, lots of 'great unknowns'.

Killer segue! Sonically resembles the mad boogie in Ray Charles' ditty (What'd I Say) played just before... RP jams, without peer, again!
I recall that when this came out, I was Rocky Mountain Way-High on Trail Crew, making what would become North Peak...saw him a year or so later while at CU; of course he blew us away! as he'd done at Red Rocks (and with Bonnie Raitt to boot!) and I STILL love the way it blows into the room, knocks everything around a bit, then leaves with some mighty fine vibes hanging there...
