SRV opened for Ray Charles in Seattle Festival, I didn't know who Stevie was, but for $7 I got to see the greatest guitarist I've ever seen, and I've seen many talented bands and artists. We were drenched in sweat after he played. Ray Charles danced in the wings during half of Stevie's set. It was incredible! 💞✌

You should see when him and his big brother Jimmie get on stage and play together. I shot photos of them once playing the same double neck guitar. Stevie was seated on a stage monitor playing the lower neck while Jimmie wrapped his arms around his little brother and played the upper. My brother and I used to go see Stevie play all the time. He did weekly shows at a little place called Hole In The Wall back in the day here in Austin, and regularly at other places like Antones and Liberty Lunch. *SUPER* nice guy. He literally gave my buddy Mike the pickups off his guitar once because Mike broke his. Mike was playing Antones, Stevie was in the back with Clifford Antone watching the show. We didn't even know he was there. Mike was gonna end the show early because he didn't have another guitar to play, but his was the same model Fender Strat that Stevie plays. Stevie went out to his car and took the pickups off his, brought them to Mike and said something like, "Keep playing, brother. You're on fire!" True story. I *TRULY* miss that man.

I have seen SRV 10 times in my life. He is my favorite musician of all time. First time i saw him was the Chicago Blues Fest 1985. Last time was Alpine Valley 1990 the day before he died. Was seriously one of the most painful deaths in my life.

[@bradfrancis5187]

I feel that. Texas boy....and had moved out of state (Hawaii) for high school. Grew up on his music, and was moving back to Austin, Texas for college in 1990. Was so excited to be able to FINALLY see him live....then the day before getting on the plane to head off to college, I heard the news. Was devastated. Weird to think about it, as I'm almost 50, but still remember my parents not understanding why I was in tears. Only comfort was being able to hear his influence on other musicians...

I was at Stevie Ray Vaughn's last concert the night his helicopter crashed after the show at Alpine Valley Wisconsin August 26th 1990. The lineup was Eric Clapton, SRV, Robert Cray and Buddy Guy. I remember leaving the concert and saying to myself that if SRV was ever in my area again I would never miss his show. Sadly I will never have that opportunity.

Stevie Ray quit school at 12 yrs old to play the guitar. The man knew what he wanted.

[@luvjasmin]

Stevie quit in his Senior Year while attending Southern Methodist University for the artistical and gifted high school students. He was 17. At 12 he became addicted to cocaine because a dentist kept prescribing him numbing medicine for his teeth. He also became an alcoholic from being made to mix his father and his friends Tom Collins. He started drinking with out his dad's knowledge.

I remember being a white 20 year kid old working on houses in the hood and we had SRV blasting from the tape deck when two 60 to 70 year old timers came up the stairs to see who this playing that guitar was. They were shocked to find " a bunch of white boys up in here" They HAD to know who that was because they knew how good it was and had never heard it before. When we explained it was a white guy there jaws dropped. Then they wanted to know how a bunch of white boys knew about the blues, we explained about BB, Muddy, Albert, Howling wolf, etc. and they said "They white boys know the blues!" In the moment we were kindred souls bridging time, color, and culture. Sweet! Two years later In Alpine Valley my fiancé and I sat on the grass and were explaining to some younger teens we met there why the speakers before the concert were playing versions of SRV songs. We explained that SRV songs were actually covers of these originals. They then wrote down all the musicians that we recommended. Music again bridging years and cultures once again. It was a special day that I always remember with bittersweet emotions. That was Saturday night and on Monday upon arriving home after work I turned on MTV and caught the ending of a newscast that showed SRV RIP. I new it couldn't be true as we just seen him two days before! I would like to point out the helicopter pilots were clearly showing off by doing stunt type flying the day we were there. Also, the night we left that fog was THICK! You couldn't see two feet in front of you until you got out of the valley and back on the major roads. SRV lives in my heart forever!

SRV was from Oak Cliff Texas. That is an neighborhood in the south part of Dallas. I grew up there too. He was mentored by another great from Dallas Freddy King. Add Albert King to your playlist and then you will know where that came from.

[@THEMASTEROFYOU2000]

Stevie Ray was playing professionally at the age of 9, he hung around his older brother {famous for guitar work in The Fabulous Thunderbirds} so he got to watch and learn from all the real blues players from the side of the stage then jammin' live with them by the age of 12. He and his band nearly single handidly brought true blues back to the front lines of popularity, and when he got top billing he brought all of them, the 3 Kings, buddy Guy, all of them along with him.He also had the line of modern hard rock to the table, masterfully displaying his magic, playing what his mind dreams up flowing throughout his body. He truly was a master of masters.Kudos to ya'll for finding and learning about these rockers.

[@danbyrnejr2122]

THEMASTEROFYOU2000 SRV’s Canadian sessions with his idol Albert King is some of the finest guitar playing around.,The way they fall back and play harmony for each other when there is a breakout is almost flawless. You’d think they were in the studio. A rare guitar gem for enthusiasts.🎼🎸😎

[@maries4178]

Great post.all true. Magic, instinct, genius set him apart - including that little sprinkle of blues ‘it’ that the masters were stunned by. I never was fond of electric guitar rips… until I heard Stevie. Once in a while I’ll be in Goodwill and they’ll play “Let’s dance,” great song… that I don’t notice until I hear Stevie. He makes my heart sing. I raised my kids on SRV and Ella Fitzgerald (primarily). My little one called them Stevie Rayon and Elephant Gerald.she insisted on hearing ZZ Top (rest in power) La Grange every day after I picked her little one from daycare. She is my Pride and Joy, and Little Sister. I ignore the nonsense and interpret these songs the way I want to. Celebrating my daughter who is not only a little sister, but my pride and joy. Especially my pride and joy.

No way he'd ever smash his "first wife". He'd toss her around, throw her on the ground and make some sick noises with the whammy bar, then stand on her. But he'd never intentionally damage Number One. That guitar was meant for Stevie. The massive neck fit his hands perfectly.

SRV uses some of the thickest gauge strings on his guitar and those strong muscular hands and fingers gives him complete control. that's where that Great Sound comes from. he goes to the max and that's the ticket brother. or should I say brothers. you guys are pretty slick. Keep it up guys..

[@joeday4293]

I saw an interview with someone, possibly another guitar player, who asked Stevie about his setup. Stevie's guitars were strung with .013 gauge strings - nearly half again heavier than typical guitar strings. The guy responded, "You play .013s?" Stevie got kind of sheepish and said, "Yeah, I would play something heavier, but you know, I've got small hands." For those of you who don't play guitar, that would be like complimenting Atlas on holding up the Earth, and having him say that he would hold up Jupiter, but he's kind of weak.
