From now until October 2006 you can catch some Stevie Ray Vaughan memorabilia. It will be on public display at South Side on Lamar in Dallas, Texas. Exhibit Site.
The museum-quality collection includes stage-worn clothing and jewelry,
unpublished handwritten lyrics, concert posters dating back to Vaughan’s high
school band, promotional material, music video props, guitar picks and virtually
every kind of memorabilia one can imagine. The most conspicuous items? "The
poncho and leather jacket he wore on the cover of the In Step CD, one of his
famous black hats, the black and gold shirt he wore on MTV Unplugged, the
blue kimono worn on the 1983 Austin City Limits TV show, the Native American
squash blossom necklace worn in the concert video Live at the El Mocambo, and
Stevie's favorite concho belt and hat band worn for many years. Of particular
interest are a guitar Stevie purchased in 1986, his Marshall amplifier, a guitar
wah-wah pedal and parts from his famous "Number One" guitar. The collection also
includes unusual items such as packets of Stevie’s Nicorette gum, a
hand-decorated water bottle from his gym, Stevie's Alaska fishing license, his
fingerprint card, and goggles used in the "Couldn’t Stand the Weather" video.
