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.

    2:38 - 2:49 is some of coolest shit I've ever heard. LOVE this version & how he keeps that riff going throughout the playing, all the different lines, but still back to the main riff.

    Hendrix opened the door, Stevie ripped it off the hinges and took a flamethrower to it. Notice how he never misses notes, to him playing was like breathing. He never overplays notes, he always lets the song breathe.

    I love how Chris, the drummer and Tommy the bassist can't seem to take their eyes off of Stevie...like us they're mesmerized. I read a quote from Chris Layten once that said "I never got tired of watching Stevie"...and I never get tired of watching him either. I'm 53 and I think Stevie is right up there with Elvis. I'm stumped to think of others with the stage presence anywhere close to these two...who both were true masters.

    @Leedaheemz 11 месяцев назад +11

    Stevie's playing is more exciting and appealing than any guitarist i've ever heard. I dont know if the key to the puzzle is how passionate he was, or just overall skill from the ungodly amount of time played, but Stevie had something that not many people, if not any, have ever had.

    Man...@ 1:56, Heads role, flood gates are opened, dams break, and epic ness ensues...Jimmy must have been smiling up in heaven watching this, must have been at the gates to welcome his musical brother Stevie when he ascended to the the clouds not long after. Seen this performance a few times before, still brings a tear to my eye watching the legend that is Stevie Ray!
