Stevie Ray Vaughan - The King Biscuit Flower Hour. Ripley's Music Hall (Philadelphia, PA) Oct 20, 1983 Side One Side Two Testify Little Wing Pride And Joy 3rd Stone From The Sun LP - EX+ Texas Flood Tell Me Jacket - EX+ What we have here is one of his most legendary early performances, recorded at Philadelphia's Ripley's Music Hall. Touring to promote his debut album, Texas Flood, these recordings capture a powerful performance, when Vaughn and his band, Double Trouble, were establishing their reputation. Naturally, there is a heavy emphasis on his first album material, which is welcome, as it featured many of Vaughan's finest songs. He doesn't bother using his vocal chords until the set is well underway, preferring to let his guitar do the talking on the first two numbers. On the set opening "Testify", the group is simply blazing with energy, with Vaughan incorporating simultaneous lead and rhythm parts in his trademark manner. The next song features his first hit, "Pride And Joy," however, it is the magnificent title track, "Texas Flood," an example of classic slow blues writing, that may be the highlight of this entire set. Here Vaughan truly bares his soul and over the course of the next ten minutes, his passion is on full display. Everything that distinguished him as a true original is right here, from the thick sound of his heavy gauge strings (tuned down a halfstep) to his extreme stringbending technique and tonal control. This incandescent set concludes with an additional tribute to Jimi Hendrix, beginning with a sublime take on "Little Wing," which then soars directly into "Third Stone From The Sun." The former is beautifully explored, while the latter is a prime example of guitar abuse at its finest. This is one of those rare times when the word incendiary truly applies. All LP's will be posted out using proper mailers with stiffeners. Records will be taken out of jackets before posting.

There is a reason why i have opened a new account with eBay to sell rather than use my existing account. I have in the last year or so returned to my Christian belief. I want to follow what is scriptual in disposing of what, quite honestly, has been a bit of a millstone around my neck. One day i looked around at all the many thousand items that filled two rooms and came to a dawning realisation that i had no idea what 90% of all this stuff was. I mean, i could go and buy something, play it once, log it, and that was the last i ever saw of it. So, this has handed me a golden opportunity to turn around this situation into something positive. I usually find something to say about what i am selling along with a track listing for albums. I hope that my passion and love for these items shines through occasionally amongst my rambling. So why would i want to just give them away. Simple, my love for Jesus as my redeemer is even greater. Matthew chapter 19 verses 16-21 gives my explanation for giving the lot to the Haiti Hospital Appeal. So keep watching as there are loads of serious stuff to come (Unreleased Gram Parsons acetate, a couple of hundred Westwood one type radio shows, unreleased Townes Van Zandt acetate and hundreds more of similar ilk).
