Am I the only one here who digs his music?
I bought one of his cds on a whim a few months ago, and have not been able to get enough since.
Maybe it's because he reminds me of home? I don't know. If you've ever been to SXSW or seen Austin City Limits you'll know what I mean. |

| Watched a documentary on him once. He would play so hard (and without a pick) that the skin would tare from his fingers pretty bad. He was awesome though. :) |

I remember seeing him play with a pick:conf:
But you're right, he played pretty hard. That poor guitar neck, almost got killed. He was also using a set of 12ths guitar strings, which is ridiculous for an electric guitar playing that type of music! |

His rendition of Voodoo Child live at Carnegie Hall is mind blowing.
Try to find it if you can.
The only other guitarist I have greater respect for is probably Hendrix.
Jimmy Page, Albert King and BB King are up there too though. |

I adore Stevie, sometimes just listening to him doesnt do the man justice... he needs to be watched, what a performer! I have a couple of his DVD's that I watch very often.

My brother made me copies of In Step and Texas Flood, and I have The Essential Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble.
I would love to get this boxed set that has many obscure recordings as well as a DVD of one of his Austin City Limits performances:

I agree.
He died when I was like 6, so even though he played in famous Austin clubs like Antone's all the time, I was still 6.
They wouldn't have let me in.:) Shame. |
