Two of the biggest guitar legends of all time
battle it out on the same stage during the Fire
and the Fury Tour. This encore performance
moment was captured while Jeff Beck and Stevie
Ray Vaughan hammered through Beck’s “Goin’
Down.” SRV has his legendary Number One
Stratocaster in hand while Beck wields a Lace
Sensor-equipped, late-’80s Strat that would
eventually become the model for his signature
model. August 2011 marks the 21st anniversary
of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s untimely passing.
