First time I saw SRV, he was on Austin City Limits, which I viewed largely as a country/folk show. I was sitting there wondering who was this guy channeling Jimi. Years later, my son bought me a DVD set of SRV's two performances at Montreux. He was booed off of the stage in the first one. He was pouring his guts out through his guitar, but the crowd was there for some folk act. It was shocking. The next time he was there, he told the audience he was glad to be back, because his first trip there was his first time to be booed off of the stage and his first Grammy nomination.
