This is insane, i just read about the Article about Stevie Ray in an issue of Guitar World magazine...I stopped reading after the hawaii show bit, with him wearing a blue kimono... looked up cold shot live on youtube, and clicked on this by chance... oh yeah, the song is awesome btw. SRV turned me on to playing the Blues
I was at his last show in east troy wis.he was my favorite act in the 80's.I couldnt believe a guy would come out in the 80's and play the blues like he did. a time when madonna, micheal jackson and cindy lauper ruled the radio and video.srv burst on the scene with blues rock.best thing is.the public loved it.he was great.its too bad the helicopter pilot made the decision to fly on such a foggy night.heck it was so foggy I had to drive 20 mph on the way home.heard the bad news the next day
wow, you are 1 of so few who could say i saw him on his last show, i would have paid anything to see that, even though i was not really that big of a blues fan in those days, (My father was) i would hear him and hendrix out of my dads stereo constatnly
@smithdsmit i don't mean to impose, but have you read the little bit about in Eric Claptons' autobiography? EC said he felt uneasy watching his pilot clear the windshield with a teeshirt, but he said he could see the stars above him before take off , but still reckoned it was dodgy for flying.
You can tell how high he is here in a sense. No offense to him though. I mean, it kept him going but its good that he stopped doing it and then he kept going for several more years.
I love Stevie Ray with all my heart and this is my favorite song. I love every version that he does. Hes just got that passion in his voice and his guitar for it so...
I think I was at this show, did he open for the Police?

He gets off the drugs, finds God and a few months later dies. I guess the Lord called another 6 stringer back home!!!!
