in 1982, SRV was booed off a secondary stage at the Montreux Jazz Festival

Three years later he was the biggest new artist in the world and was a main stage headliner.

He invited another Texas Blues-slinger to join him for a song...

SRV and Johnny Copeland, Montreux 1985, Tin Pan Alley

there are a few people up front dancing that seem to love him. It looks like SRV is pissed and really giving them a fierce performance.

And no encore...

I have the DVD as well.

One of my favorite parts of the 85 show, is at the 1 minute 41 seconds point, as he prepares to begin playing "Scuttlebuttin" you hear a voice calling out "3 years ago tomorrow"

Great guitars. I have a first-year (1978) model - S/N starts with 8M.
These guitars were highly underrated but are starting to be appreciated for their quality/playability.
