Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Defective Stool Sample

Semi-obscure footage of a sound check from 1986 at a Shriner’s hall in Pittsburgh called the Syria Mosque.

Stevie’s yawning and picking his nose, so I imagine he’s been rousted out of bed at some ungodly hour like four in the afternoon so the roadies can figure out if everything is plugged in.

He looks a little like what would happen if John Wayne was accidentally assigned Liberace’s dressing room, but he sure could play. He died and they tore the Mosque down. The end.

(Thanks to my brother for sending that one along.Go say hi to him if you’re in LA. )
