Saw SRV play live in a small blues club in Austin, TX in 1984. A few feet away from that kind of greatness.... Saw him live in bigger venues within the next few years. Amazing thing is while his playing of songs was broadly similar from show to show, there were always little flourishes with each unique to what he was feeling that night. He played what he was feeling in each moment while still remaining true to the original. That takes genius and absolute mastery of the instrument. No one else like him. RIP.

Stevie is great, but the Clapton story here is totally apochryphal. Total nonsense. Clapton knew and like Stevie and his music, and gave him some friendly advice with his addiction without preaching. In fact, the night Stevie died they played together on stage right before the fateful helicopter flight (which killed one of Clapton's crew). EC was/is not intimitated by anyone--he is the man--and Stevie loved his playing. These guys are mutual admiration societies. Does not help when clueless people make such posts. Oh sure, EC was at a concert and did not know who Stevie was or his music and heard it for the first time right before his set and said, nope, I am afraid? Moronic.
