Stevie Ray Vaughan - Bluebird Lounge (1979)

In honor of Stevie's birthday, October 3rd! According to some Texans I know, Robert "Bluebird" Ealey was the owner of the Bluebird Lounge in Ft. Worth. I think that is who is sitting in on guitar and vocals. When I first got this tape a few years ago, I was thrilled. To come across any new Stevie is great, but an early show of this quality does not come along very often. Stevie toured relentlessly during 1978 and 1979. The 79 era is one of my all-time favorite periods for Stevie, but it is terribly under-documented. Those unstoppable chops came from night after night of gigging during this era. Here is part of one of those nights. This is very classic early SRV developing his own style. I am sure there must be more of this show out there. This recording has some fade ins, fade outs, and cuts. I suspect there is more out there. If you have a better version, please post it! If you are hoarding some early SRV, bring it out and share please! To me, the best parts of this show are Stevie's, but it is cool to hear him jam with an old-timer. This is loose stuff, clearly no rehersal. After a slow start, Ealey urges the band into a more funky version of The Thrill is Gone than they had in mind.
