When I lived in N. Va. in the mid 80's I was living in a group house.  We were all in our late 20's. We all had different tastes in music. I would and still will listen to anything, that is why I love RP so much. Anyway, 1 summer night  in the middle of a work week one of the roomies mentioned that SRV was playing at the nearby Merriweather Post Pavilion that night. We had heard that he played his blistering leads on Bowie's Let's Dance lp, He was supposed to tour with Bowie for the lp but refused because he had his own tour to do. So 2 of us went "for something to do". His older brother Jimmy and his Fabulous Thunderbirds opened.  The FT were good, but Double Trouble? WOAH. He absolutely blew everyone in attendance away. Seeing and hearing him play was an amazing experience. I had never seen anyone play like that. It was almost like the first time you heard Eruption by Van Halen.  You were like WTF??  What a sad and terrible loss his passing was. And how it happened. So sad. A genius he was.

If you live in Southern California and ever listened to the classic rock station KLOS then you probably listen for Rita Wilde and the Rock Report every time you hear that song.

Admittedly that's a small population of RP's audience, but I'm guessing there's some So. Cal listeners here.
 
Yes! Thank you for posting this! The minute I heard this track, I was racking my brain for where I used to hear it. I lived in LA from the late 80s to mid-2000s, and yet I couldn't remember it was KLOS. Even way back then I wondered who was doing that crazy riff!

An L.A. radio station used this as a song 'bed' so often while the DJ would announce upcoming rock shows etc., so heard that distinctive opening so many times.

Stevie's mentor from the early days, Doyle Bramhall, passed away peacefully in his sleep Saturday night.  He will be sorely missed not only in Austin but world wide for his contribution (some say invention) of modern blues.  RIP, Doyle.

I loved that place. Saw Poi Dog there several times, also Stick People, lots of 'great unknowns'.

Posted 13 years ago by cc_rider    [ Reply ]
Some purists argue SRV was just 'lots of notes without any soul'. E'erybody's entitled to their opinion, so hey. But this tune, this tune really is a ton of notes! Why d'ya think it's called 'Scuttlebuttin'? Stevie is up there 'cutting heads', and nobody, NOBODY could do it better. He is showin' off here, that's no secret. I contend he's showin' off with soul too, but hey.

Killer segue!  Sonically resembles the mad boogie in Ray Charles' ditty (What'd I Say) played just before...  RP jams, without peer, again!
I recall that when this came out, I was Rocky Mountain Way-High on Trail Crew, making what would become North Peak...saw him a year or so later while at CU; of course he blew us away! as he'd done at Red Rocks (and with Bonnie Raitt to boot!) and I STILL love the way it blows into the room, knocks everything around a bit, then leaves with some mighty fine vibes hanging there...

I saw Steve Ray Vaughn back in the 80's at the Rusty Nail in Sunderland,Ma. There was a blizzard that night so about 50 people showed up. My friends and I stood about a foot away from him and just watched him wail. It's burned in my memory. 
 

As long as several are relating their SRV concert stories, here's mine;  Last year of college, University of Maryland, fall of 79'.  Went to a little bar in Georgetown in DC to see local Blues heroes the Nighthawks.  Opening act was a relatively unknown trio from Texas.  This place (the name of which I no longer can remember) held maybe 120 people tops, mainly all there to see the Nighthawks.  Then Double Trouble started their set and Stevie began to wail...

The Nighthawks always knew who could play to their crowd and were never afraid to book real talent as an opening act for them.  Four years later I saw then in Tempe Arizona at another little bar; opening act?  The Robert Cray Band.  Both bands ended the night crammed on the small stage together with a 15 minute jam that left everybody drained.  Like your story, that night and that scene is burned into my brain.

I remember reading about that concert - a bunch of people flew in to be there and right after their plane landed, the airport was shut down because of the blizzard. I have a friend who was able to get there to watch him, and she came back with stories, and a lot of tears in her eyes. Stevie Ray Vaughn gave everything, though there was only a small audience. He loved the music, and it was never about the money or the attendance - it was always about the music. Damn - why is it that the really great ones die too soon? Lennon, Harrison, Vaughn, Van Zant....

I saw him at the L.B. Day Amphitheater in Salem, Oregon in the 80's n a triple-bill - him, John Hiatt, and Robert Cray Band  - I'd gone to see John Hiatt (and he did an awesome show, too - "Slow Turning" was my CD of choice after that), but SRV rocked. I'll never forget it. I'd never heard of him before, but hearing him play, watching his fingers on that beat-up guitar... It drove me to get out my ancient Yamaha acoustic and play every day until I had calluses again. And then, I re-learned "Stairway to Heaven," "Just the Wine," "Classical Gas," and a few things I'd written when I was in my John Denver phase.

I don't really have fingernails now, because of working at the local nursery/greenhouse, so maybe it's time to trim the nails and hug my guitar again...

Oh yes he was!

I (sadly) saw him live only once, in Kerkrade (NL) in the late 80's, but that gig really turned my (then young) conception of "how to excercise live music" upside down - and that still remains. That was the time when the stages got bigger and bigger, stadium shows with megawatts of lights and sound where en vogue... And then there was Stevie, in this tiny hall with 8 spots, a bass and a drumkit. He came up on stage, closed his eyes, stood on his toes and PLAYED for ~3 hours ... and just blew us all away!

From that gig on, i'm more in for the small, sweaty, "pure" club gigs then for the big, over-choreographed stadium shows.

...the funny thing is that everytime i hear him now, i can still see that huge sticker on his Marshall amp saying:

"DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS!"

I wondered if anybody noticed this.
I about freaked out when I heard the opening lick of this song, expecting Rita to come on and give an update! I almost forgot where I was for a moment! And yes, she's still using it.

I'm very happy to finally know which song she used for her reports. I always loved that freaky-fast lick. I should've known it was SRV. Thanks to RP for playing this!

KSHE 95 anyone? :)
Been 30 years since I listened to KSHE but I can still hear the first chords of Lighthouse's One Fine Morning and instinctively mouth: "K-S-H-E NEWS" Radio Paradise reminds me what KSHE and all the other underground stations were back in the late 60's and early 70's before things got over-formatted and corporations took over. Speaking of corporate rock radio, I think this track was used for Rita Wilde's rock report or something on KLOS out here in L.A...but it's been a decade since I listened to that...

Me three. I saw VH in Calgary in the early '90's - that man is a guitar *GOD* - right up there with Clapton, Hendrix, SRV
a buddy was lucky enough to see them open for someone in N.O. just before they hit big. Eruption was the first thing he heard Eddie play. . . said the stadium was silent! Everyone was picking up their jaws and eyeballs from the floor. One other time. He also stumbled into a bar to find some skinny kid playing the hell out of a guitar and it was SRV. Said Marry Had A Little Lamb sold him.
