Eagle Kammback Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 We lost one of the greatest. I think he probably would have gone on to be better and bigger than Clapton and HendrixOn August 26, 1990, a sold out concert of 30,000 at Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, Wisconsin, featured an encore jam with Vaughan, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Jimmie Vaughan and Robert Cray. On August 27, shortly before 1 a.m., a helicopter carrying Vaughan en route to Chicago crashed within seconds after takeoff.Four days later, funeral services were held at Laurel Land Memorial Park in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas, Texas, with over 1,500 people attending and 3,000 more outside the chapel.[25] Brother Jimmie, mother Martha, and girlfriend Janna were in attendance. Among the mourners were Stevie Wonder, Buddy Guy, Dr. John, ZZ Top, Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, and Nile Rodgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Fox Runner Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Holy crap! Stevie Ray Vaughan died 20 years ago today? I can't believe that was that long ago it happened!Who? What did they do and why should I care?...actually, don't answer that. I have better things to do the QQ over some 20 year old corpse."20 years ago today, someone died of cancer or diabeties."Stevie Ray Vaughan, he was an awesome guitarist and blues musician, truly one of the greats. He may have been before my time, but I love to listen to his music. He died in a helicopter crash after leaving one of his concerts.

Redeemer Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 No offence man, but I second this ^Well I guess it depends on how much you respect musicians. I love music, so it means something to me. If it doesn't mean much to you, that's fair enough too. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"User" Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 No offence man, but I second this ^I'm going to have the third this as well. I can see topics being made on famous people that die TODAY or something like that but I have rarely, if ever, seen topics about anniversaries of deaths - it really seems kind of irrelevant regardless of how popular the person is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
