Spiritinthesky Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 27th Aug 1990, Stevie Ray Vaughan was killed when the helicopter he was flying in, hit a man-made ski slope while trying to navigate through dense fog. Vaughan had played a show at Alpine Valley Music Theatre, East Troy, Wisconsin with Robert Cray & His Memphis Horns, and Eric Clapton. Vaughan was informed by a member of Clapton's crew that three seats were open on a helicopter returning to Chicago with Clapton's crew, it turned out there was only one seat left; Vaughan requested it from his brother, who obliged. Three members of Eric Clapton's entourage were also killed. Full story here: http://www.thisdayinmusic.com/pages/stevie_ray_vaughan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Never saw him live or knew much of his music until I went to see a musician friend perform and he did several SRV songs. Before long I bought some of his music and really enjoy it. Another one that was taken too young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
