In the late 70s I remember Texas Toms music store on old Hwy 3 (LEAGUE CITY TX.) had a battle of the bands and the winner got to back up SRV. At the Astrodome music hall. I just remember after he finished playing playing I found myself standing in front of him with no one around..just me and him! There just wasn’t many people at this event or he wasn’t known yet? I know I didn’t know who he was. So he’s kneeling down unplugging his foot petals and I told him I play guitar but not the blues. (I told him I was Rush,Van Helen type) Yet then I say to Stevie how he really busted his ass with his playing style. He said to me..thank you! Of course I learned later who he really was and now I always play Stevie ray music wherever I play. (Crying..) No one has to believe my story but I’ll stick to it to my grave.

Fitzgerald's in 1981 is where I say Stevie Ray for the first time. Up to that point, the greatest guitarists I had the chance to see were Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Peter Frampton, Roy Gallagher and David Gilmour. It was great to see an American show how it is done! Stevie is still the greatest white blues player I have ever seen.

For me that would be Buck Dharma, Ted Nugent (apologies, but he was still good in '78), Frank Marino, Muddy Waters opening for Eric Clapton, Eddie Van Halen opening for Tony Iommi, and Carlos Santana (probably forgetting a few). Then I saw Stevie for $2 at Steamboat Springs in Austin. I was blown away, my jaw dropped and my life changed. We talked a bit, he thanked me for being there and shook my hand. Humble and friendly, he lived for that guitar. Thanks, Stevie.

I am EXTREMELY jealous! My favorite period (late ‘79-early ‘83) from my absolute favorite guitar player. I saw Derek Trucks at 11, 13, and 14 years old and the progression from what was a preternaturally talented slide player to the heir apparent to Duane Allman was astonishing, to say the least. Living in Macon, where the ABB spent their heyday as Southern rock royalty in the new capital of Southern rock. Capricorn Records was the site of so many legendary recordings, and I’ve been fortunate enough to live close enough to both that building AND Rose Hill Cemetery, where Duane, Berry, and now Greg, are now at rest. We used to go to Duane’s grave in the early 90s (before it was fenced off) and smoke one for Skydog or just listen to the music and vibe on the fact that we were maybe resonating with SOME KIND of residual energy of his. If not (and I realize that’s probably the case), we sure had a blast sitting out back of Capricorn getting blistered while listening to old Otis Redding, Skynyrd, or Allman Bros songs and knowing that those sounds once vibrates in the same place where we sat. Pretty trippy for a young man on shrooms. 😁

9:24-9:35 Stevie’s innate sense of rhythm and timing is freakishly plugged in. Syncopated passages, timing changes, rhythm intertwined with lead licks… he could do it ALL, and without a rhythm section could keep time perfectly enough that the drummer could have been isolated from the guitar and STILL have been able to fall back in on the beat. This dude was SPECIAL.

I was at this one. I used to go see Stevie whenever he came to Houston. Fitzgerald's was an old wooden building that had a high ceiling where they'd put a lot of carpet and insulation. It made great acoustics, much better than the concrete boxes that most clubs are. Stevie was phenomenal. What doesn't come across on the videos is that his hands were physically huge and he would manhandle that guitar. He could physically do things that no one else could do.

As a teenage guitar player working in a record store, when Texas Flood was released and playing for the customers, i remember thinking that it was Eric Clapton. So, that was it for me, immediate fan. I was lucky to chat with him for an hour before a show in 1987, i think. After seeing and hearing all this stuff on the internet nowadays, i was thinking was there anything left in the tank when he died so tragically? So many songs done by an artist before they are stars, come out on albums throughout their career. I found this with other bands too.

He didn't play Hendrix... he duplicated Hendrix. After bearing witness to this recording I'm convinced his guitar skills exceeded Jimi, but both players careers were short lived. Stevie's mind wasn't cloud dusted with dope this by far so far is my best listen sampling Stevie better than his live show watched in 1984 in Orlando I watched him break a bass string I mean a motivated machine. I wonder what Eric Clapton's words would be about this particular show, that is, could he an owner master strummer of strings could he have matched, or kept up with this Texas guitar wizard? I'd like to double thank whomever brought him alive in sound to hear this magnificent recording double thanking for Double Trouble thank you thank you thank you... Oooops I thanked 3 times
