In reality...I wish I could play guitar half as well as #StevieRayVaughan played in '86. Yeah, I said it...
Back on the #StevieRayVaughan train today...picking up with the '86 show in Germany that I left off on yesterday. Sure, it's a little messy, but there are flashes of SRV brilliance in there, despite being (likely) drowned in whiskey
I've been thinking: People say Twitter is a trainwreck lately...What if we poured a bunch of positive energy (and good music?) into it and drowned out the trolls?
If you listen to it objectively, it's true what they say: #StevieRayVaughan's '85-'86 shows sometimes border on painful. You can hear that he's almost constantly playing himself in circles. Quite the contrast to sober SRV from '89-'90...
There are 24 Listening Days before this year's annual #StevieRayVaughan tribute edition of #BootleggersBeware. It's time to go into Stevie overdrive, and make some picks for the setlist!
That's easy: @thewarrenhaynes

So, @allmanbrothers...now that @GratefulDead are releasing the '73 RFK shows...I think it's time for a box set of the ABB sets as the next archival release.
What say you?
Every time I listen to a @GratefulDead show, I marvel at the fact that they managed to navigate 30 years of shows without ever going on stage with a planned setlist.

All time terrible advice.
Just legendary.

As rock's first supergroup, Blind Faith showed both the capabilities and the limitations of putting some of the best of the best together onstage.

As I sit here listening to @jeffbeckmusic recordings...I simply can't wrap my mind around the fact that he is gone.

I think I have a new #ConcertPhotography Bucket List item: Shoot a show with #RandyJohnson / #RJ51Photos
Once in a while, I think about how awesome it would be if @ledzeppelin were as dutiful about recording their shows as @GratefulDead was.
I would buy ALL the Zeppelin archival releases, if they existed. Immediately.
