I used to see Stevie and The Triple Threat Revue at The Rome Inn on Sunday night and he was great, I moved back to Kansas City, Missouri and Stevie was going to play at Harlings Upstairs , it was a small club and this was before Stevie had cut any records , anyway we got there early and when we walked in Stevie was playing pinball, I walked over and introduced myself, and told him that I used to see him in Austin, he sat down and we had some drinks, after the show we went to his motel room and talked, we invited him, Tommy , Chris , and Cutter , to lunch the next day, anyway they came to my home and my wife cooked a big meal for them , we drank alot of beer ,smoked some good Oxacan weed and became friends, those guys were all gentlemen, Stevie and the guys kept in touch through the years and the world misses Stevie
@@OwenSchooleyGT Those guys were so humble, at one point Stevie and I were talking and I told him that I thought he was a better guitarist than his brother, he looked at me and said don't ever say that, and I started to repeat myself and Stevie put his hand on my shoulder and said don't ever say that, I looked at him and said I have a big brother too , and he smiled, he was a wonderful person
I was at this show… standing down front… after the show was officially over at 6:00, Tony Joe and Neil came back out, bot with electric guitars, and went at it playing the blues for 45 minutes 😅
I was lucky enough to be at Stevie’s El Mocambo show! In subsequent years I became good friends with Duke, and particularly Jimmy Vaughan, who I’m in contact with to this day! (I was a Blues Club owner, a festival operator and a radio DJ) Now I’m old and live on memories! lol Peace
" I hear noises,,,I hear noises coming from "down South" . I hear there is a boy child comin,,,Gonna be a son of a gun,,, they said his name was Stevie Ray Vaughn,,,,,"
Duke Robillard is a local native to upstate NY he went to Texas and showed the South that the North knows how to Rock the Blues! SRV shined as always he also traveled to Rochester played at the Red Creek bar on his way to Toronto to play with Albert King...
Glenn, Jim Gardner here. I sat by you at the Balcony Club about 5 weeks March 2023 when you were videoing Junior Clarks Saturday night gig. What I didn't know at the time, is what all you have seen and captured on video throughout the years. I have watched this Dec. 2nd 1988 show with Kim, Duke, Preston, and Stevie Ray, sitting in for Jimmie that night. I saw Stevie many times but what you preserved for all to see this night is a great piece of history and how great he was. He was unselfish, and brought out the best of the other band members. These memories will live for ever. Thanks for making this possible. Jim
Great video! Thanks for posting this, so glad you 'showed-up' - Robillard, SRV and Kim Wilson! SRV is especially hot on this night....amazing solos! So good to be reminded of these MAESTROS of the blues!
Two great guitarist! I grew up with Duke in Rhode Island he taught me some licks. I've seen him play a thousand times Never disappoints. One of the best shows was with Johnny Winter! Time goes by so fast! RIP Stevie and Johnny 2 guitar slingers!
Dear God, he was fierce! I miss SRV every damn day. What lucky ducks got to see this thing! And with one of my all-time fave singers - the Mighty Kim Wilson! Thanks so much for this, Glenn. Hot DAIM!
That's the whole clip. They weren't there long plus no one expected SRV to be there....just the Thurnderbirds....they came, they conquered, they left. I was there covering the Santa event for the TV news station I worked for at the time.
@@Drifter70 ohh man!!!! This video is priceless Stevie is my favorite guitar player, I’ve watched this video several times now and I enjoy it every time I play guitar also and I try to play along with the video thank you for posting it
