My Fav SRV performance

An excerpt from my blog on SRV at http://worldofblues.com/Blog/
Nobody, in my humble opinion, rocked the blues like Stevie Ray Vaughan! Thats all I really need to say about that. Check solo performance out and see if you don't agree.

Best known for his performances on electric guitar with his band Double Trouble but it's that acoustic performance above that always blows me away. That's a 12 string he's playing - man if I tried I'm sure my hands would hurt for a month.

Of what's out there on video, I thought his performance of 'Leave My Girl Alone' from "Austin City Limits" (also on the DVD included w/the "SRV" box set) really was head and shoulders above the rest. I mean, it was ferocious!

Your right! That was an awsome performance. Did Stevie EVER do anything that wasn'nt great? If he did, I've never heard it. It just did'nt matter what he played, if it was SRV, it would be awsome! Although there are some other really good players out there, there will never be another like SRV. His music struck a nerve in my soul, and I just can't get enough! I wish I had half of his talent!
