Stevie Ray Vaughn's sound check is better than more than a few concerts I've been to. In this video Vaughn checks and tunes all the guitars he'll use in performing later that night.
Then his throat got so fucked up from drinking whiskey with cocaine that he started putting it on toilet paper and wiping his butt.
But then his butt got so fucked up from wiping it with cocaine he started rubbing it in his eyeballs.
A favorite meme on the b3ta board is a still from a film I haven't seen, Goodfellas or Badfellas or something, I think the real actor (photoshopped a million times so I don't know the original, sitting slumped in a chair snorting a table full of cocaine. An older style smaller television flickering something on a shelf. Implements of wealth around the table. Somewhat swanky place. Ah [Scarface table of cocaine]
Sippican posted the SRV video years ago - he posited that Mr. Vaughn had just rolled out of bed at the crack of 6 PM, hence the yawning and nose picking.

Sound checks are under-rated. Sometimes they're more fun to listen to than the actual concerts.
I'm surprised he didn't have an assistant, usually the guitar tech, do the sound check.
When I see the guitar tech running out on stage with the supposedly tuned guitar, I always shudder.
Electronic tuning of guitars is accurate in a scientific sense, but not in terms of the human ear.
He was a masterful player. I feel lucky to have seen him play.

You can say that again...awesome.
My secretary was @ his last concert.

Sumbitch sure could play, regardless.
