Thanks, RP for keeping it all alive and connected and fully energized! |
| thatslongformud (don't call it Frisco) | Posted: Mar 22, 2012 - 08:56 Ha! was just thinking of how that Stone Roses tune sounds exactly like SRV's version of Voodoo Chile. Perfect segue!! |

| Randomax (Wimberley, TX) | Posted: Nov 14, 2011 - 09:18 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. |

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. |

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'. |

| coloradojohn (Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, Japan -- 15 min. west of Shinjuku, center of the freaking Universe) | Posted: Aug 11, 2011 - 22:38 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... |

| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Apr 09, 2011 - 16:48 SRV was a serious talent, and this song proves it. I used to love to watch him play - I'd study his hands... How easily he hit the strings and produced such exquisite music. When I was a kid, I went to a circus with a trapeze act, and I'd have to cover my eyes because I just knew someone would end up missing a catch and falling into the safety net. It was not an enjoyable experience for me. Conversely, when I grew up and discovered Stevie's music, I never dreaded that he'd miss a note or screw up. I was confident that he'd nail the songs dead-on, and he always did. No dread, no fear - just pure enjoyment bordering on total bliss for me. I love his music. That's all. |
| Synth80s (*Beautiful* Southern California (cough, choke, honk)) | Posted: Apr 09, 2011 - 16:40 I generally don't like blues or blues rock, but there's almost nothing SRV touched that I won't listen to. |

There was a blizzard that night so about 50 people showed up. My friends and I stood about a foot away from him and just watched him wail. It's burned in my memory. As long as several are relating their SRV concert stories, here's mine; Last year of college, University of Maryland, fall of 79'. Went to a little bar in Georgetown in DC to see local Blues heroes the Nighthawks. Opening act was a relatively unknown trio from Texas. This place (the name of which I no longer can remember) held maybe 120 people tops, mainly all there to see the Nighthawks. Then Double Trouble started their set and Stevie began to wail... The Nighthawks always knew who could play to their crowd and were never afraid to book real talent as an opening act for them. Four years later I saw then in Tempe Arizona at another little bar; opening act? The Robert Cray Band. Both bands ended the night crammed on the small stage together with a 15 minute jam that left everybody drained. Like your story, that night and that scene is burned into my brain. |

There was a blizzard that night so about 50 people showed up. My friends and I stood about a foot away from him and just watched him wail. It's burned in my memory. I remember reading about that concert - a bunch of people flew in to be there and right after their plane landed, the airport was shut down because of the blizzard. I have a friend who was able to get there to watch him, and she came back with stories, and a lot of tears in her eyes. Stevie Ray Vaughn gave everything, though there was only a small audience. He loved the music, and it was never about the money or the attendance - it was always about the music. Damn - why is it that the really great ones die too soon? Lennon, Harrison, Vaughn, Van Zant.... I saw him at the L.B. Day Amphitheater in Salem, Oregon in the 80's n a triple-bill - him, John Hiatt, and Robert Cray Band - I'd gone to see John Hiatt (and he did an awesome show, too - "Slow Turning" was my CD of choice after that), but SRV rocked. I'll never forget it. I'd never heard of him before, but hearing him play, watching his fingers on that beat-up guitar... It drove me to get out my ancient Yamaha acoustic and play every day until I had calluses again. And then, I re-learned "Stairway to Heaven," "Just the Wine," "Classical Gas," and a few things I'd written when I was in my John Denver phase. I don't really have fingernails now, because of working at the local nursery/greenhouse, so maybe it's time to trim the nails and hug my guitar again... |

I (sadly) saw him live only once, in Kerkrade (NL) in the late 80's, but that gig really turned my (then young) conception of "how to excercise live music" upside down - and that still remains. That was the time when the stages got bigger and bigger, stadium shows with megawatts of lights and sound where en vogue... And then there was Stevie, in this tiny hall with 8 spots, a bass and a drumkit. He came up on stage, closed his eyes, stood on his toes and PLAYED for ~3 hours ... and just blew us all away! From that gig on, i'm more in for the small, sweaty, "pure" club gigs then for the big, over-choreographed stadium shows. ...the funny thing is that everytime i hear him now, i can still see that huge sticker on his Marshall amp saying: "DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS!"  |
