cloudseeker2001 0 #106 June 9, 2008 Quote Life By The Drop by Stevie Ray Vaughn Yeah, that's a good one too. Check out Doyle Bramhall Sr. version as well.....he was good friends with SRV and they worked this song out together. I have met Dolye a few times after shows and he is a great guy.

flyawaygirl78 0 #107 June 9, 2008 Quote The guy singing it Weighed about 350 pounds and played a ukelele. It looked like it was a postage stamp on the side of a semi-trailer. The song and the National Anthem were played back to back. It was said it was Eloys wake up call before coming to Quincy too.By the way you could tell who were veterans, because we alone stopped talking stood up and saluted when our Anthem was played My personal favorite was by Simon and Garfunkle "Like a bridge over troubled waters" as it was played at a dear friends funeral. It brings back many memories . With a tear and a grin going at the same time. Should have clarified that by saying that the song doesn't simply make me cry because of the lyrics, its the wonderful memories (happy and sad) that accompany the song when I hear it "Sex.... It's just like cuddling - only damper." Flying Hellfish#695 Muff Brother#3885 Rodriguez Brother#1526-Tronca Rodriguez Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll have to check that out. I used to go see Doyle Jr. a lot when I lived in Austin, but I don't think I've heard much of Doyle Sr.'s stuff. And I was fortunate to see SRV play live one time, though I have to admit that I hardly knew who he was at the time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tbrown 26 #111 June 10, 2008 Actually, Dylan's "Forever Young", almost any good version by any good band or singer. The Rod Stewart version is on the memorial vid for the Perris Otter crash. My personal tear jerker version is Neil Young, singing at the 1991 Bill Graham Memorial concert in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. Neil was backed up by The Grateful Dead and Jerry played a very restrained and poignant guitar lead. It's forever burned into my memory by my own brother's death from cancer at the time. A real shame that performance isn't commercially available, but then such are the joys of bootleg collecting. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

I have those lyrics throughout my son's first year photo album. :) I love listening to Planet Waves and those two versions back to back.
