Hmmmm.
Fentanyl Is straight up killer, so mixed with heroin?
Anyway, it sounds lovely he he knew what he was doing.

I know it's been a few weeks, but I just read this. This is a great story man, thank you for sharing.I have a bunch of stories about The Decade.
It's the early days of Stevie Ray Vaughn. Lot of buzz and all. So we hear he's going to be at The Decade.
Now Glen Pavone (who was in Billy Price's band at the time) just floored anyone who'd ever heard him play. No matter what genre a player he knocked you out; from jazz cats to people who were into Steve Vai (like this long blond haired dude name of Rick Mals who worked for Vic DaPra and who won a Guitar Player magazine contest for an original composition featuring Rick's stellar Vai influenced playing...btw, had Vic wanted to he could've been as well known for his playing as he is for his Les Paul expertise). Yup, if you saw Glen Pavone live you were impressed with every aspect of playing. And his only tools were a Hiwatt 100w head with a twin speaker cabinet he made himself along with a Strat he made himself. Oh, and a chord.
Anyway, back to SRV. We go to The Decade to see him and despite it being a weekday it's packed. Very dark, very smokey as per usual. There's like twenty amps onstage and a shitload of pedals. Ok, not twenty but at least four (Twins-one blackface, two silvers, a Deluxe is my recollection) but still a shitload of pedals.
Show supposedly starts at 9PM. Come 10 PM, no show. 11 PM, no show. Finally, near midnight out comes SRV and...pffffffffft. Immediately he's twice too loud. You can't hear Shannon or the drummer (Reese Wynans wasn't with him yet) and worse, he stinks. His tone is horrible. He's stomping on this pedal then that pedal then another pedal. And he's playing his licks and they're just like the ones you heard on Austin City Limits but at that volume when combined with that god-awful tone it was excruciating. We didn't make it through the first set.
We said 'f this' and left. We weren't the only ones heading to the parking garage a couple of streets over. Some dude from another gaggle recognizes me and says 'dude ain't no Glen Pavone' to which we all unanimously agreed.
Time passes and you heard about SRV's drinking problem thus it's nearly certain that Stevie was loaded to the gills that night at The Decade. And retrospectively, obviously he was better than that. But -and this probably should go in the 'Unpopular Opinions' thread - I maintain had Stevie been born in Poughkeepsie you'd have never heard of him. He could play but he wasn't no Glen Pavone.
R I P Glen, a helluva player but even a better person.

On another note, as much as I have decried modern country, I have not spent enough time listening to some of the modern-day classic country types. Jason Isbell and Chris Stapleton are just awesome.
On the other hand, Thomas Rhett, Cole Swindell, etc are sht.

If you pay attention to lyrics so much bluegrass is just death metal on a fiddle.
