It was a jam in "E." I'll scan and post the write-up.

It's good to know the other one though, should the need ever arise.

I‘ve always wondered if she was fired for selling them to me.
Anyway, he opened with Testify, and played pretty much the entire TF album and two Hendrix tunes. He played all of his TF tunes note-for-note, zero improvisation.
Years later it occurred to me that, if you could play SRV tunes note-for-note, you’re an awesome blues player, even if your name was Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Hehe, he even made me buy a Jennifer Warnes album!
Cold shot must be my favorite all time music video. I laugh cause it's like my twenties right there

From the discussion here, maybe I don't even like jazz. I thought Rivera Paradise was perfectly fine.
Ignorance is bliss I guess.

I should just stay out of this ha...I've always loved The Blues but 5 seconds of SRV is 6 seconds too much for my likes... slow down, turn down and take a breath ...

Scott Henderson said I would rather hear Albert King drop his guitar in the dirt than most white guys play the blues!!!

The above mentioned Riviera Paradise with, coincidentally, some Benson-esque runs. 14 year old player with some nice ideas over a backing track on the terrace of a Parisian bar.

It was right after Blow by Blow came out and Beck was headlining with the black Les Paul and Benard Purdie on drums. John also had gold top mini humbucker LP and a 1 12 Boogie amp. Jeff used a Marshall top with a Fender Showman bottom and the soundman favored Jeff of course. I saw George Benson in a small club with his trio and blew them both away for me. The context is very important!

Getting hear and see Hiram Bullock live at the Nashville NAAM show and tell his bass player that they had a lot of fans in Music City is one of my most cherished memories. Also I sat outside the Matchless booth a few minutes listening to Hiram enjoy original Matchless amps . I decided not to bother him or Danny Gatton because I dont want to annoy celebs,but looking back I wish I would have told those two how much I got out of their music considering how short their lives were. Tough call sometimes.

Its very clear they had a Father and son type relationship the way Albert reminds everyone what he stressed as important to a younger Stevie. On the DVD with backing band of course.

Albert King used at times, a Roland JC-120, an Acoustic head (1.21 Gigawatts!) and an occasional Dual Showman (100 watts, 2 15" JBLs). Big Iron. SRV was using Vibroverbs (two 6l6s, 40-ish watts). I've had two VVS - a '64 Brownface (2-10" Jensens) and a Blackface VV with a 15" spkr. (probably a Jensen). Unless he was using multiple amps (very possible) Albert was showing Fatherly affection, and no little mercy. Has anyone ever seen SRV's rig?
-
SRV also used multiple amps, altho I don't know his setup. Vibroverbs, yes. But there was also a Dumble, a Super Reverb... I know he used a Fender Vibratone (which is used in conjunction with a guitar amp).
Loads of SRV info online, it's a bit of an obsession/cult, LOL.... but you can find pretty much anything you need to know. Whereas alot of the old bluesman plugged straight into an amp, and many of them used whatever was on the backline, SRV had a specific rig. I know Albert Collins, altho he only used a cable DID always plug into his Fender Quad reverb, that amp was a part of his signature tone, along with open tuning to Fm, capo use, and playing with his fingers. Nothing special about his tele, except that HE was playing it.
