My wife's former boss was the county coroner for Walworth County, Wisconsin and had to oversee the tragedy. Whenever we visit my in-laws in Wisconsin we always have to pass right by Alpine Valley where it happened when travelling to Milwaukee from their house. Very eerie.

Stevie was the best white blues player of all time, and one of the top 5 blues guitarists period. For me he even beats out Clapton b/c of his incredible emotion that stood out even in the genre of emotion. Clapton, though a little more skilled and a lot more important, rarely put that kind of soul into his music.

U2 without a doubt. I saw them on the Elevation tour only months after 9/11. During the song "One" all of the victims' names scrolled slowly up the screen behind the stage. Once the names reached the top of the screen they were then projected throughout the arena.

Seeing U2 live is like a religious experience. Nobody can come close to them live.

I saw U2 back in the early 80's as a support band and you could tell then that they were destined for stardom. Unfortunately after that stardom arrived they lost something for me. Under a Blood Red Sky is still one of my favorite live albums though.
What?

I'm curious then, just bought Strong persuader today but haven't listened to it yet. I know the title track and that's a pretty good one so i have high hopes.

Edit: Just realized this afternoon that Strong persuader is from the Robert Cray band, Steve Ray vaughn is the man who made  Texas Flood amongst other albums. Strange mixup, i must be getting old LOL. I don't have this Texas flood album, a friend of mine who used to  love blues music used to play it a lot  long time ago, so i know this is a good album. I'll look out for it but for now it's Robert Cray band.

Although over the last few years been listening more to progressive symphonic black/death metal bands, the first band I can remember listening to was Yes.  Although I don't listen to them as much as I used to, occasionally I will stick on Close To The Edge...it still gives me goosebumps.
