BUDDY GUY & STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN
Lone Star Cafe 1986 [no label, 2CD]
Live at the Lone Star Cafe, New York, NYC, April 14, 1986. Very good soundboard.
“Without Buddy Guy, there would be no Stevie Ray Vaughan.”
- Stevie Ray Vaughan
According to the wikipedia, Stevie Ray Vaughan once declared that Buddy Guy “plays from a place that I’ve never heard anyone play.” Vaughan continued: “Buddy can go from one end of the spectrum to another. He can play quieter than anybody I’ve ever heard, or wilder and louder than anybody I’ve ever heard. I play pretty loud a lot of times, but Buddy’s tones are incredible… he pulls such emotion out of so little volume. Buddy just has this cool feel to everything he does. And when he sings, it’s just compounded. Girls fall over and sweat and die! Every once in a while I get the chance to play with Buddy, and he gets me every time, because we could try to go to Mars on guitars but then he’ll start singing, sing a couple of lines, and then stick the mike in front of me! What are you gonna do? What is a person gonna do?!”
Versions of this 1986 show at the Lone Star Cafe in New York have circulated among fans and thanks to Davmar77, this is probably the first time a first generation soundboard of the show has surfaced.
Dave notes: “I was there. It was quite a night. Monday night in NYC and off to the Lone Star Cafe to see Buddy Guy. We were only a few feet from the stage. About halfway way through the late show, Buddy calls out to the bar for a drink and a guy with a big cowboy hat brings it to the stage. Buddy looks down to grab it only to see it’s Stevie. He calls him up to finish the set and the rest is history…”
This is a real scorcher and Stevie Ray only makes it all the more sweeter.

taking pics of this event was one of the most difficult things i ever had to do. i was at the bar. they were at the edge of the stage. that was like less than 2 feet from my nose. focusing on two men that close and getting their guitars in the frames isnt that easy from two feet away. i wouldnt have known stevie would be there if he hadnt told me he was going that nite the nite before. thank god i got the chance to talk to him that nite. then another nite only days later i believe or earlier perhaps albert collins told me that he would be having stevie join him on stage as well at the same club. wow was i lucky that week. i am so happy i got to experience these two nites that same month. in all i saw srv over 100x live. i loved him so much. and i had many master soundboard tapes of buddy guy and other great blues greats from the lone star cafe from the 80s but all those are long gone due to a bust in july 02 where they took all 24000 of my audio and video tapes. perhaps 800 of them were one of a kinds. i have the first gen of this here recording and its great. one of my faves. one of my all time fave possessions is an 8×10 i made of the two of them clinking wine glasses on stage between songs that i later got them to sign. rip stevie i miss u so much.

Bad news for Buddy

much enjoyed the buddy guy/srv—buddy is still one of the best still around on the blues circuit—wish stevie was still around—it would probably be unreal how famous and how good he would be had he not been taken from us so soon—any old stevie layin around out there would be real nice to hear
By FREAKAZOID on Aug 23, 2008
Thanks! Whose on the vocals, ’cause they don’t sound like Buddy . . .
By Jubei on Aug 25, 2008
I mean on track 2
By Jubei on Aug 25, 2008
Cool stuff! More, more, more!
By Jamie on Aug 26, 2008
sorry to say without stevie there would be no buddy guy bar so fuck all you ass holes
By michael on Sep 14, 2008
We’ll get to a few things here
First, this is absolutely fantastic. The amazing Buddy Guy AND Stevie Ray Vaughan? Man oh man.
Second, to Jubei, it sounds to me like there sure enough is somebody else doing some vocals, but it’s also certainly clear that Buddy does most of them. Maybe we could ask Darth.
Third, to michael, you do realize that Buddy Guy was playing guitar while little Stevie Ray was suckling at his mother’s teat, right?

When I saw Buddy a couple times years ago, he wasn’t onstage for the fits couple songs. The band (I think maybe his brother was playing and singing) started without him and then he came out and joined them.
I did see at least 2 shows where he was onstage the whole time, though, so that’s just a theory.
Does anyone else think there’s only one guitar on the first tracks?
By Society's Pliers on Dec 8, 2008
Help us out, darth . . . who’s singing early on and was Buddy onstage at the time?
By Society's Pliers on Dec 8, 2008
Michael, I’m sorry to be negative here… But you’re an idiot. Buddy was one of SRV’s biggest heroes, and his club on the South Side of Chicago — Legends — has been there a long time. SRV was awesome, but he had nothing to do with Buddy’s bar.
By Shaun on Jun 30, 2009
I think that that’s what Michael was saying, Society’s Pliers; it was Jamie who made the ignorant remark. Yes, of course, Buddy was way out ahead of SRV, though that does not in any way diminish SRV’s uniqueness and immense accomplishments, over the couse of his much-too-short career. These guys both are/were giants, and to hear them together is a rare treat.

Whoops, my mistake: I was misreading the relationship between the names and the comments; it was indeed Michael that said the stupid thing…
By The Big Coco on Jul 11, 2009
saw stevie 6 times..before and after treatment..man could he burn…I have to admit I`m not as a big a buddy fan, first saw him in 1966 and it was a mind blower but lately he leaves me wonderin `…

Both are masters. Love both versions of Mary had a little lamb, like SRV’s a bit better. Never had the chance to see Stevie in concert but would have loved to. My all time favor blues artist and guitarist. Nobody played like him. He had soul for his soul.
