One of the last (known) photos taken of Stevie Ray on that fateful night 8-26-1990 in/at Alpine Valley East Troy, WI. with Eric Clapton and Robert Cray. My husband and I had just acquired a bar in central WI and were given over 200 free admit tickets by a distributor. Unfortunately, the wknd of this concert was also the wknd of our grand opening, so we were unable to go....regrets to this day, and beyond.....

It was truly a heartbreaking day for so many fans. We thank fate that Eric wasn't in a hurry to get back..
