Accidental death of Stevie Ray Vaughan

Vaughan in 1989.

Clapton personally invited the musicians Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, Jimmie Vaughan and Stevie Ray Vaughan on August 26, 1990 (2 November 1990) with the intention of entertaining two concerts at the Alpine Valley Music Theater in East Troy, Wisconsin . Night) to perform with him and his band. Vaughan also opened for Clapton on August 26th. After Clapton performed his repertoire, the guest musicians mainly played blues pieces with long, extensive guitar solos that delighted the audience.

The guest musicians were for the concerts z. Some of them were flown in from Chicago by helicopter . For the return flight, Steve Ray Vaughan got the last free seat in one of the helicopters, which then crashed immediately after take-off at 12:35 a.m. In addition to Stevie Ray Vaughan, the pilot Jeff Brown and Clapton's agent Bobby Brooks, bodyguard Nigel Browne and tour manager Colin Smythe died.

Clapton commented on the incident in 2007 in his autobiography: “[...] After the show, we all hugged each other goodbye and hurried to the helicopters that were already waiting for us. They were helicopters with large plexiglass domes, and no sooner were we inside than I noticed that the pilot was wiping the misted windshield with a T-shirt . Outside there was a thick layer of fog about ten feet above the ground. […] Around seven in the morning Roger [Forrester] called me and said Stevie Ray's helicopter hadn't arrived. I went to his room where we finally learned that the helicopter had been headed in the wrong direction after taking off [and there are no survivors]. [...] We were all in shock [and] decided to continue the tour [out of] respect [...] ”.

All relatives of the deceased received compensation payments of over $ 2 million. Stevie Ray's brother, Jimmie Vaughan, wrote the song Six Strings Down as an eulogy for the death of his relative, while Bonnie Raitt dedicated an entire album - Luck of the Draw - to the deceased . Stevie Wonder also honored Vaughan with the title Stevie Ray Blues from the album Natural Wonder .

reception

Keith Richards was positive about Clapton's guest appearances on the Rolling Stones tour, saying that Clapton "ran and burned." Rolling Stone music magazine critic Anthony DeCurtis described Clapton's version of Little Red Rooster as "sensational" and noted that Clapton's guitar solo was "incredibly good." The Billboard critic Thom Duffy praised Clapton's guitar solo as well and described the appearance of the British in Shea Stadium, Flushing as the highlight of the concert.

The solo appearances on the tour met with a positive response from viewers and critics alike. According to Clapton, tickets for the concerts taking place around the world sold “very quickly”. The British rock musician reflected on his concerts in the United States and reported that the audience "went positively crazy". One spectator described the concert in the Market Square Arena, Indianapolis as "terrific" and praised the tour's set lists, which consisted of new pieces from the Journeyman album and classics from the Clapton catalog. With Clapton becoming a status symbol again in the late 1980s , many people attended the concerts for sociological reasons rather than enjoying the concert.

The 42 appearances in the Royal Albert Hall also met with a positive response from critics of the music industry. Hugh Fielder of Billboard Magazine described Clapton's performances in London as "great" and praised the British for not looking tired after all the concerts. The critic also liked the choice of guest musicians and songs that Clapton presented in London. Fielder also praised the stage engineers and Clapton's designers for dressing him up "excellently". As equally "remarkable" the critic pointed out the performance of the band members. The American blues rock musician Joe Bonamassa describes the sound as "one of the best Clapton sounds that ever existed".

Official publications

The Journeyman World Tour jackets have officially been sold.

Although 15 recordings on the live album 24 Nights and 13 video recordings on the accompanying VHS (today the album is released on DVD ) were sold, Clapton agreed to broadcast some regional concerts on television.
