    Stevie was clean at this point and was riding the momentum of his new album and outlook; you can tell he is in a good place. So utterly unfair he would be gone less than a year later.

      I saw him four times and got to meet him and got his autograph. One night he was playing and a couple jumped up on stage to dance. They just stopped playing on a dime and he says he loved for them to dance but it too dangerous with cabling and then bam they took off again from where they stopped. They were that tight together.

      Great timing on that. Pauls band had to constantly be on their toes I bet when they had to back a guest artist. But, I bet the band was excited as heck to play in this one with Stevie. I know I’d have been practicing all night the night before to not mess up. Great coordination among the band to hit that break in the song.

He traded in a pieced together Fender Stratocaster for credit towards a Gibson Les Paul. It was like the very next day and SRV came into the shop and bought that Stratocaster and it became his "#1."

    I saw Stevie Ray Vaughan in Regina Saskatchewan at the centre of the arts. Later that night I walked over to the paddock, which was the nightclub with the good bands in those days. The one time, the one time! That I didn’t have money to go inside for a beer, Stevie Ray Vaughan shows up and plugs in. I didn’t see him play in the bar that night, but I was standing outside when he came out. He was walking kind of staring down so I couldn’t see his face. I said great show at the Centre Stevie Ray. He then looked up at me said thank you then lower The brim of his hat again and left. A very cool moment and a story that I have repeated several times over the years. He died in that terrible helicopter crash not long after that.

    First time I heard this I had to pull over and soak it in. So great. I love how raw and '60s it sounds. RIP Charles. 😢

    Certain words shared here really made me start to hurt inside and actually cry again...
    Over something that happened 34 years ago...I was 20 then...
    I'd like to say that the heartbreak is even worse cause he just seemed like a truly wonderful man coming into a truly happy New Life in sobriety .
    ...him having been a great guitarist is really not as important...
    Ask his brother and those who loved him...
    They would have loved having him here all these years, even if he lost his arm or something in the accident and never could play again.

    What a stellar performance. Love that this guitar gifted genius of a man managed to wear off the varnish and paint off his guitar from shredding on it. RIP Stevie. You are missed by the masses and your style will never fade.

    Two famous Texas musicians on that stage. Will Lee is a Huntsville, TX native and his dad was a music professor at Sam Houston State. Add Anton Figg and this was the next best thing to having Double Trouble there with him. Sid McGinnis looked like kid in a candy store too.

    I think SRV could have awoke from a year long coma, slipped on a Strat and gave a bone chilling performance. He just oozed talent and cool. I saw him at the Fox in St Louis and it was like a religious experience.

    Please post the 'Wall of Denial' performance! I know it's on here already (not on the official Letterman channel) but the quality of this 'Tightrope' performance is incredible and I'd love to see the 'Wall of Denial' performance in this quality too. Cause Stevie was at his absolute best (sadly only 8 months before he passed) and he lays down one of his greatest solos during that performance!

    Great performance. One thing which struck me about SRV is that he was a relatively young man at the time of his passing, but his playing, demeanor, and overall presence was of someone much older, experienced, and wiser. Namaste.🙏🏽

      Through the years, every kind of musician jumped in with Paul & the band and they could always play any song with them perfectly. I can't praise them enough.

    • @VeloVagabond

      Yes! And unlike Jools Holland, they actually wanted to play with Paul and the band!
