As I mentioned last week, this past Friday marked the 20th anniversary of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s tragic and untimely death. To pay tribute to SRV, the members of Double Trouble (Reese Wynans, Chris Layton, and Tommy Shannon) got together at a small club here in Nashville with a number of guitarists and played much of Stevie’s recorded catalog of music. I was able to attend the show and witnessed nearly four hours of excellent music. It was an unbelievable experience to be able to see Double Trouble play the music that has affected me so much over the years. Anthony Stauffer, from StevieSnacks.com, also attended the show and was able to record some clips, which he has posted on YouTube:
Wow, what a cool thing to get to see. Sounds like it was fantastic! Thanks for posting the video.
Does anybody know who the young guitar player was that played in the second set? He blew me away.
Charlotte – his name is Sol Philcox: http://www.myspace.com/solphilcox
Rich – It was quite a treat to get to see Double Trouble playing Stevie’s songs again. I can’t recall hearing much about them playing these songs together since Stevie passed away. So, I’m glad I got to see it.
RIP Stevie. . the best there ever was!
