The first musician I can remember whose death was really fairly impactful in my young life.

This was a pretty interesting write-up that really breaks down the mechanics of stevie's fateful helicopter crash in expert detail.

Thanks Mice... great insight into what happened during that devastating night... RIP SRV

Appreciate the link.   Sad day for everyone. 

Vaughan spent much of his last days performing with his band Double Trouble as the opening act for Eric Clapton at Alpine Valley Music Theatre. After the concert concluded, he and three members of Clapton's tour entourage boarded a helicopter that crashed into the side of a nearby ski hill shortly after takeoff....

Was lucky to stay at the resort behind the theater for the '84 shows.  It sits right at the bottom of the crash site by the pool.  RIP
