One of the best ever.... was playing an original copy of Couldn't Stand the Weather the other night . Why he's not on Rolling Stones top 10 is a mystery to me.
The only problem is, it wouldn't have been a trade. You'd be losing two guitar greats, not just one. Clapton was supposed to be on the helicopter along with Stevie, not instead of him.
I was fortunate to catch him live after he’d cleaned up, touring the In Step album. Gone was the cocky, badass gunslinger. He was so warm, sweet and humble. His playing was as fiery as ever but elevated by a powerfully spiritual vibe that, for me reached a sublime peak in "Life Without You". He made the most of a short life -- I see that as victorious, not tragic.
