Re: SRV - 20 years ago today
We certainly could use him now, there's not alot of great new music out there lately. He is missed greatly and the blues just isn't the same.
RIP Stevie.. |

Re: SRV - 20 years ago today
I remember being at work and hearing it on the radio, hard to believe that it has been 20 years. It was a very sad day for me that day at work. Long live the memory of SRV.

Re: SRV - 20 years ago today
I recall the one time I saw SRV perform, in 1984;
 what a phenomenal show  was always a big fan after that but his untimely death was quite shocking; I always felt bad for his family & close friends RIP bro' ................... |

Re: SRV - 20 years ago today
Never saw him play live -- in fact, I ignored the Blues back then-- but he's the reason I decided to pick up the guitar in the first place.

Re: SRV - 20 years ago today
Strange day of mixed emotions for me.
My mother died this day in 1977... My wife and I married this day in 1983... SRV died this day in 1990...

Re: SRV - 20 years ago today
SRV was easily the best show I have ever seen - in July of 1990 at Saratoga, NY.

Re: SRV - 20 years ago today
An American icon. A true innovator. I was lucky enough to see him 4 times. His playing, most of all, is why I finally went out and got a Fender. I was strictly a Gibson man before Stevie.
R.I.P. |

Re: SRV - 20 years ago today
I was going to post this until I saw this thread.
I still remember where I was (driving home from seeing Rik Emmett) and who I was with when I heard that Stevie had died. Sadly, the friend I was with and who loved Stevie's work as much as I do, died about six weeks ago. I still remember seeing SRV open for Robert Plant. Talk about a great double-bill!

Re: SRV - 20 years ago today
Wish I was born earlier to hear him live... Sad day, but at the same time, we can celebrate that he gave us all the greatness that he did
