Maybe next year.
Check that, it was two years before his helicopter crash. The “Live Alive” tour, April 10, 1988. The interwebz really are something.

I find myself going back in time musically . Kind of sick of the classic rock genre . I was watching a Bill Maher podcast and he recommended the album A man alone by Frank Sinatra. I gave it a real chance and grew to love it . I’ve been hooked on Frank Sinatra since then . There’s so much more to Sinatra than the New York New York stuff . I like his early Columbia period , particularly.

I had tickets to see SRV at the Palladium in NYC, on New Year's Eve 1988. In a very "Good Will Hunting" like scenario, I skipped the show because I met a girl. We really hit it off and she moved to Boston from NC shortly after. We dated for 3+ years after that, even got engaged, but it didn't work out for various reasons. Of course SRV died less than 2 years after that New Years Eve and I never got to see him.
When the relationship was finally done, I got an email from a friend who was there that night expressing condolences in his own special way - It simply read "Should've went to see Stevie Ray Vaughan!"

This was what was going on DSOTM in place of “On The Run” until Gilmour and Waters got way too into screwing around with the VCS3 synthesizer. I prefer this jam personally.
Also, this long live jam of Any Colour You Like never gets old.

SRV was obviously a great guitarist. For me it’s Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhodes, and Zakk Wylde in no particular order.
Zakk never gets mentioned here despite playing for Ozzy and Pantera as well as his own bands, Black Label Society and Zakk Sabath. Odd.

On August 27, 1990, the day he died, I was driving thru Downtown LA, when I heard the news on the radio. I had to find a spot to pull over and cry my eyes out, remembering what it was like to meet him the year before.
For a few years, if I wasn't working I would play his music all day long!

I don’t know that anyone’s specifically had a discussion about any particular rock guitar players. Rhoads apparently hated playing metal as well as the lifestyle (he didn’t drink or do drugs, IIRC) and wanted to leave Ozzy and return to classical guitar. Supremely talented and innovative. Wylde, to me, has the skill and chops, but doesn’t have the feel or soul (for lack of a better description) that Rhoads had.
Edward was on his own planet. Totally did his thing differently from anyone else.

I don’t think Randy even liked having long hair and he loved classical guitar. He was amazing. He died so long ago I was still in high school.

For me, there are a bunch of guitar players who you can identify easily just by listening to them play. Either by how they have their guitar tuned, or by their style. Some of them, off the top of my head...
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Hendrix
Mark Knopfler
Brian May
The Edge
David Gilmour
Jerry Garcia
One of the best psychedelic rock acts in recent memory, in my opinion, Tame Impala's 2015 album Currents is a modern classic when it comes to rock music and proves that the genre ain't dead. Combining aspects of disco, synth-pop, and R&B into his music, Perth native Kevin Parker made an absolute modern classic of an album that both calls back to previous eras of psychedelic music whilst staying contemporary. The guitars and synths play well off of each other, the drums and bass are punchy as hell, and the lyrical content is utterly hypnotizing when Parker sings it. Tame Impala is arguably the best psychedelic rock group to come out in the past ten years since MGMT, which is a weird thing for me to say because it feels like MGMT is still a recent band. The big hitters are songs like "Less I Know The Better", "Let It Happen", "New Person, Same Old Mistakes", as well as "Eventually" and "Cause I'm A Man" among others. To put it another way, the songs on this album are so solid, it was good enough for Rihanna to decide to cover "New Person, Same Old Mistakes" a year later.
If you want good rock music from recent groups, Tame Impala isn't a bad choice to sample and Currents is a great place to start.
