Stevie Ray Vaughan - 1987-06-30 - Philadelphia, PA (FM)

In September 1986, Stevie Ray Vaughn & Double Trouble traveled to Denmark for a one-month tour of Europe. On September 28, Vaughan became ill after a performance in Ludwigshafen, Germany, suffering from near-death dehydration. Vaughn, who had been a long time abuser of alcohol and cocaine, decided after the incident to check into The London Clinic, under the care of Dr. Victor Bloom.  Bloom warned SRV that he was a month away from death if he didn't change his ways. After staying in London for more than a week, he returned to the US and entered Peachford Hospital in Atlanta, where he spent four weeks in rehab. Finally sober and clean, SRV and Double Trouble went back on the road. Vaughn was concerned about whether he could play as well sober as he had stoned, but soon found that he still had the magic touch on guitar.  This soundboard recording captures the now sober SRV on June 30, 1987, 31 years ago today, in Philadelphia.  Unfortunately, we would lose this incredible guitaist just 3 years klater, when he died in a helicopter accudent after a concert at Alpine Valley Music Theater on August 27, 1990.
