RIP SRV (Page 1 of 2)

Saw Stevie with Jeff Beck and at a local club in DC back in the early 80's and in Austin also in the 80's

they almost closed down alpine valley a couple years ago to install condos...that would've been blasphemy.

I saw Stevie live twice, but the performance that sticks with me most was him and Jimmy together in New Orleans on MTV. It was either spring break or Mardi Gras coverage of them on a river boat playing a double neck guitar strapped to Jimmy with Stevie wrapped around him playin' half while Jimmy played the other half and you could tell they were havin' the time of their lives doin' it. Now that's brotherly love.
