@@jakedavila4468 absolutely. jimi took the standard blues and made it more experimental but when it comes to proficiency and a wide array of style mixed with his insane knowledge of scales and improv stevie was miles ahead of jimi in skill. just look at billy strings now. hes bluegrass but i can hear a ton of srv licks in his improv. went to hs with a kid who thought he was srv. he was good but you can just pick out the phrasing and if its not perfect you can tell. yes i didnt feel like using capitol letters... sorry

So many years have passed....so much time. I still can't watch or listen without getting upset. When Stevie died, a piece of my soul left my body and it's never returned. I remember so clearly my little son coming in our bedroom saying he'd seen on TV that there'd been a helicopter crash and that Stevie was gone. I bawled my head off for about a week. It sucks when your heros are there one minute, and gone the next. My idea of heaven is getting to see and hear him once again. I hope he's waiting for me.

This is out of control epic. Ridiculous...

I love how Tommy looks over at Stevie every now and then like "😮 Holy shitballs how is he doing that!?".

Never seen anyone play with more Fire , Explosive Expressive Power & Fluidity. A Force of nature.

Just mindblowing. He is so NOT phoning it in! Every fuckin note is played with conviction.

And the crowd didn't even realize that they were seeing Stevie Ray Vaughan as good as he ever was on any night at any venue. Especially that night on Texas Flood and this song!
