SRV was on fire that night, but this tune in particular was a showcase of Stevie's skill, phrasing, tone, and passion. Among the very best live recordings IMO.

his concert still stands as one of the best I've ever seen.

Couldn't believe it when I turned on the radio on that August day in '90 and heard the news. A true Blues giant. RIP Stevie.

I'm a huge SRV fan since I first heard him. Also got to see Jimmy Vaughn with The Fabulous Thunderbirds (with Kim Wilson) in Tucson too. The 'Family Style' album they did together is a classic.
Also from the same show:
When I heard about his death one morning as I showed up on the job, I went home.

The Fabulous Thunderbirds were the opening act.
It was a great night of music.
