    I saw this lineup open for Bob Seger at the old Aud in Buffalo. The T-Birds blew the roof off the Aud and I wondered how Seger would top it. He came out and did a 20+ song set of his greatest hits and blew the roof back off the Aud. Arguably the greatest concert I ever saw.

      You're lucky. I saw Bob Seger in concert back in the late eighties, and while Seger was fantastic (of course), his opening act was some act called "Adrenalin," and... He was kind of scraping the bottom of the barrel to come up with them for an opener.

    Jimmie Lee Vaughan is one of the greatest guitar players in music history! He's smooth, funky, soulful, rockin', jazzy, and can play the blues with the best of them! He's a Freddie King and Johnny"Guitar" Watson student.
    I highly recommend his album called Do You Get The Blues? It features Tommy Shannon, Chris Layton, Reese Wynans, and Lou Ann Barton. This awesome album is like sitting in at the legendary blues joint called Antone's in Austin, Texas! They turn this mutha out on that shit!
    This album is one of my favorites in my blues library.

Growing up playing with your brother as kids cements your style n chops. Saw an interview with Stevie who credits his guitar playing to Jimmy and only ever wanted to impress him which of course he did in spades. That’s love right there folks. Classic strat tone too right outta the box … clean low output pickups letting the guitar and amp breathe. Beautiful!!

    Early 80's summer in Dallas they were an opening act for the rolling stones at the Cotton Bowl. Fabulous Thunderbirds performance blew away the stones on that day.

      Actually it was Halloween, and November 1, at the Cotton Bowl. Fabulous thunderbirds, ZZTop, then the Stones. On Halloween, shortly after the Stones came on stage, It started raining a downpour...miserable show. Fab Thunderbirds and ZZTop were good, but the rain kinda ruined the Stones show.

      I saw them headline an outdoor show that started in the afternoon. They were so good that night that I have forgotten who else was there. They were jammin'. Jimmie was on point and friendly. So was Kim with his harmonica. And then fireworks. What a night.

    I wonder how many times I saw them at Lupo's. Since I would never have gone straight or sober, we'll never know. But I'm grateful for the missing memories, and I always turn them up whenever they come on the air. You could do worse, and you probably already have.

    This was a rarity, since very few times since "The Tonight Show" was cut back to an hour (in 1980) has a musical guest performed more than one song.

    Killer! Great tunes, great band. JLV is The Man! He's wearing a long Colt pistol while playing the Johnny Carson show. Insane! I love it.
    When I first saw Jimmy in a Guitar Player magazine in 9th grade, Knoxville Tn West HS, he looked freakin' awesome. The picture was him, playing a Dano Longhorn, pompadour with a lock falling in his face, 50's look, bolero / Tex-Mex outfit. I though, "THAT'S what I want to be when I grow up."
    "Girls Go Wild" is a superb blues album. Jimmy is killing it. Long live the T-Birds!

    It's astonishing that a band with such level of talent and blues sensibilities could actually reap some considerable commercial success for a while. Jimmie Vaughan is one of the great true blues players of our day and age. And no body is better on harp than Wilson.

    On the day that I am leaving this comment, I counted down how many comments from the top before someone mentioned Stevie. I got to 11. That's all great and all, but JIMMIE also kicked and still kicks serious ass to this day. The two brothers were different, but equally magnificent on stage. I'm just as thrilled to listen to Jimmie and the T-Birds as I am to listen to SRV and Double Trouble. And I treasure the Family Style album. Plus, I could listen to Kim's smokin' vocal all day. This was the coolest video I'll watch today, hands down. Thanks for the post!
