Twenty years ago, guitar legend and Austin icon Stevie Ray Vaughan was doing what he did best. On August 26, 1990, the Grammy winner was on stage playing to 30,000 fans, but that show would be his last.
"We were at the top of our game. It was kind of like an understanding in the band that everyone gave 110 percent every time you got up there, no excuses", said Tommy Shannon, bassist for Double Trouble.
Stevie Ray Vaughan moved to Austin in 1971, and changed the local music scene.
At that time, Shannon couldn't imagine a world without his band leader. Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble were hot, and playing to a sold-out crowd at the Alpine Valley Music Theatre in Wisconsin along with Eric Clapton, Robert Cray, and Buddy Guy.
