First time I saw Stevie Rey Vaughn live he played a version of "Texas Flood" on Austin City Limits in the early 80's.  It blew my mind. I still remember exactly where I was when I saw it.

Also check out Hendrix "Hear that Train a' Coming" from Rainbow Bridge concert.

Guys like that are wizards who conjure magic from guitars.

I think I’m getting a better idea. You know whenever you hear the British guys talk about their influences it’s always blues guys they talk about. Cool sounding names I’ve never heard, but obviously seriously talented. From a casual observer it always seemed the British rock musicians embraced American blues far more than than most American musicians did. I think I’ll try listening to the blues channel on Music Chousr when I go to bed.
