It was 15 years ago that Stevie Ray Vaughan was killed in a helicopter accident leaving a show in Alpine Valley, Wisconsin. He is missed badly on this end and I just wanted to get anybody else that cares thoughts. :)

I know BB King ( pictured ) will remember that. Nothing stops me dead in my tracks listening to the shop radio like a SRV song, turn it wide open! :)
 
Hard to believe that it's been 15 years. SRV was one of a kind. He was my favorite blues guitarist. His music is as fresh now as it ever was.
 
Saw him "backing" the Who at the Astrodome Labor Day weekend, 1989. He also did a freebie on the Astrodome parking lot that day for a Lite Beer promo party. He was called out for four encores, while the crowd was happy with only two Who encores. Sooooo glad I got to see him.
 
Are you sure it wasn't 16 yrs ago? I was a Sr. in vet school, on one of my food animal rotations. I had a ton of cases in the hospital, and my A-hole classmates wouldn't take my treatments for one friggin' day so I could go up to Alpine Valley, where I HAD TICKETS TO SEE HIS LAST FRICKIN' CONCERT, but couldn't go cause nobody would help me out. I had all the slacker classmates on that rotation, all except one... who was at the concert.
An absolute amazing concert from what I heard... SRV, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy and Robt Cray all on stage, cutting heads.... guess who kicked the most guitar A$$?
 
Time really seems like it flies, the older you get. It only seems like yesterday that Stevie Ray Vaughn died. His music always sounds fresh and new and vibrant, every time I hear it.

I saw him 1 time at the Aqua fest in Texas, as well as Chuck Berry.
SRV was one of the best, and is truly missed.

Yeah, I'm sure.SRV died August 27, 1990, 36 days before his 36th birthday. Attended his funeral at Oak Cliff and got to meet Jackson Browne and Stevie Wonder and more importantly, to me, his mother, Martha and uncle, Joe Cook. God bless the family of Stevie Ray Vaughan. :thumbup: :)
 
Damn....It has been that long hasn't it? It always makes me a little sad to not have seen him in concert. :(

Stevie Ray is buried in Laureland Cemetary in Dallas, Texas, right across the highway from my Father in Law's business. Small world
