Stevie Ray Vaughn vs Eric Clapton - I have read through this thread and am amazed at the SRV fans. I can't help but to remember when I heard both SRV and Clapton (live) within a month of each other at the same venue in the late 80s. I'm sorry SRV fans but in comparison SRV sucked! It was so bad that I considered leaving. I don't know if this was around the time Stevie was bottoming out on booze, but he was really bad. Clapton, on the other hand, was great(I've seen him 4 times in concert). Incidentally, I saw SRV first. I was looking forward to SRV as I liked his albums, and his reputation as a great guitarist was building by then. Albums aside, nothing shows what a musician is really made of but a live concert.
