Thanks so much for posting this! Great to see Stevie in the early days. Any more footage???

@guitarcat67 This is every second of the video that I shot that day. I've been kicking myself for 30 years that I didn't shoot more.

[danimation777]

man theres gotta be more footage from this show!

[Softcorps]

@danimation777 - There should be, but there isn't. I was the only one shooting video during the afternoon and the video I posted of SRV is every second of what I shot of him that day. Had I known how historically valuable this recording would be, I would have shot his whole set. However, videotape was expensive and I only had so much tape with me that day, I was saving most of it to record my band, the Planets, later that day.

What a fantastic day this was. Tornado Jam has got to be brought back! One of the things I remember about that day was when a guy borrowed the owner of KLLL's 1956 Rolls Royce, parked the car on a slope, and for got to put the emergency brakes on! Into the water the car went. And I was in that car about 2 weeks earlier. Great music all day & night, from what I remember of that night. Cops didn't bother with drinking, as long as it didn't get out of hand.

@jay50alexander - Actually, the Rolls Royce incident took place at the second Tornado Jam in Lubbock which was a year after this video was shot.
