Stevie Ray Vaughan - Ain't Gonna Give Up On Love (live at the Orpheum, Mempis, 1986)

I've, um, corrected the misspelling of the song title and the lyrics in the thread title here, since I want it to be clear what he was singing about.

The actual title and the spelling in the lyrics is "Ain't Gone 'n' Give Up On Love" which can be a challenge to interpret, unless you consider that as confusing as English spelling can be, informal English contractions are even worse (think of all the times you've seen "would of" for "would've"...and that mistake shows up even in edited professional writing at times.)

And the mistake in this song title bothers me even more than Led Zeppelin's "South Bound Saurez" -- which was supposed to be "Southbound Soiree."

So I fixed it, since this is a great song about not giving up on love...
