1. Not here.

Sun's out. Warm; about 90.

Now later tonight and tomorrow there will be some rain.

But nice excuse to post some Stevie Ray!

2. Any excuse for SRV is a good one.

3. I am SO glad I got the chance to see him live.

I hardly knew who he was back in 1983-ish. I just knew he had been on David Bowie's "China Girl" album. I saw him at Fiesta (La Semana Alegre) in San Antonio.

4. I saw him in 1990.

Not long before his death. Excellent concert...one of the best I've ever attended.

5. I almost drove off the road when I heard he died.

Almost 18 years ago now. August of 1990.

[Maddy McCall]

11. Yeah, same here.

We all got together and drank beer and cried--the group of us that went to the concert.

I saw him in June 1990. Never realized it would be the last time.

6. I saw him too...I still remember it

I was just a kid, but my uncle took me to "The Biggest Party In Texas", some Miller Lite thing at the Astrodome. It was SRV, the Fabulous Thunderbirds and The Who


I still remember the light shining off the SRV on his guitar.

7. You know, I think the T-birds were the headliner that year at Fiesta.

I actually saw Jimmie Vaughan at McBride's Gun Store here in Austin a few years ago.

Back in 1983, SRV was Jimmie's brother.

8. 1986 at the Fox Theater in Atlanta, Ga.

Fab T-Birds opening, of course.
