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!
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.
Rihanna got paid $0 to perform at the Super Bowl half time show by the NFL but did it for exposure for her brand. Over 28.5 Million people watched her Super Bowl halftime show. Think about this the next time you think you are too big to work for exposure 🤷🏾♂️
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.

And the Grammy for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package goes to IN AND OUT OF THE GARDEN: MADISON SQUARE GARDEN ’81 ’82 ’83! Congratulations to art directors Lisa Glines, Doran Tyson & Dave Van Patten and the entire Grateful Dead family on the first ever Dead Grammy win!

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.
