Twenty years ago Stevie Ray Vaughan was taken from this world far too early in a tragic helicopter accident following a concert with Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, and his brother Jimmie.
His incredible music lives on forever!
Stevie Ray Vaughan - "The Sky is Crying" - Live in Iowa 1987 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI9TS4O5Ww4#normal)
truly a magically talented musician...I remember watching his performance "Live at the El Macambo" and being just stunned and amazed....
Used to see SRV at Antone's in Austin when I lived there in the day. Wish I had his Austin City Limits performances on DVD. Just sent a "20 year notice" email to my friends last night. I'll be listening to my well worn CDs today for sure!! One of my all time favorite musicians... ever!
Sept. 18 will be the 40th anniversary of Jimi Hendrix's death. My other fav!! [thumbsup] [bow_down]
Man- 20 years already! He was just hitting his peak, I think. Imagine where he'd be now.
(Fastwin- if your CD's are well worn, you better check your CD player! ;D)
RIP SRV.
One of the greatest gods in the Texas Pantheon. [bow_down]
and yet Lady Gaga lives.
WTF
Thanks. today is now officially a bummer.
RIP my brother.

I was at Alpine Valley the week before he died, attending a WHO concert. The fog was most widespread and dense I have ever experienced (meterological fog - not the other kind) The conditions were similar that fateful night also. Sad deal.
Great interview.

I didn't mean to crap anyone out.
We can always celebrate his music, his legacy, and those he has inspired to make great music.
Grab one of his CDs, download some of his tunes and get lost in the music!
"What I am trying to get across to you; is please take of yourselves and those that you love; because that is what we are hear for, that's all we got, and that is all we can take with us. Are you with me?"

I was just thinking the other day about great musicians that were taken way too early and I really wished that Jeff Buckley was still around. :'(
Amongst many others that I may have forgotten. :'(

I love the way he ends that with Third Stone From The Sun!! Cool shit!! [thumbsup]
Big fan of Eric Johnson too (thankfully still alive!) and we used to see him in the mid 70s for a buck at the UT/Austin Student Union auditurium when he was in the Electromagnets (still have their one and only LP). He did a make the beast with two backsing awesome version of Third Stone. Not bad for a local teenager at the time!! Seeing the vid of SRV made me think of those great one dollar shows. Saw some awesome music in Austin in the 70s... or at least what I can remember of it!! [laugh]

Wow. What a day...I remember weeping almost uncontrollably off and on for a day or two when I found out. My first guitar hero, and the guy I discovered the blues through.
Just tragic, but he blessed us with much wonderful music, and I feel fortunate to have seen him live several times.

Having this song on constant rotation would not be an issue. Particularly the live version after he got clean.
Unfortunately, I was never able to see SRV live. Really, really bummed about that. I don't recall him touring in Michigan much, and I was only 19 when he passed, so my musical horizons weren't as wide as they are today. I nearly went to see him and Clapton a week or so before his passing in Ann Arbor, but I couldn't find any friends who could go to the show with me. [bang]
Keep sending the good vibes down, Stevie!

Lucky you. The "Live From Austin, Texas" DVD is great. Awesome to see both shows, from '83 and '89 and see the differences in his performance. Both are amazing shows.
Do you happen to have the SRV box set? It has a DVD with 5 songs from the '89 Austin City Limits show that weren't broadcast, including this one:

I never had the chance to see him either and that's a damn shame.

The SRV/Jeff Beck tour would have been great to see as well.

I missed that show but I am also lucky to have seen Jeff Beck a few times on his own. In fact giving me tickets to one of his Dallas shows years ago was the last nice thing my first wife did before we split up. Kinda went down hill from there! [laugh] Hey, but the Beck show rocked!! [thumbsup]
Great memories of Stevie Ray. Good times and awesome music. He and his brother make Oak Cliff here in Dallas proud. Legendary stuff. [bow_down] Good he got cleaned up before he left us. He went on a good vibe. Nice. [clap]
