This day in music history.

August 27, 1990, Eric Clapton, Robert Cray, Buddy Guy, Jimmie Vaughan and Stevie Ray Vaughan perform a concert at the Alpine Valley Music Theater in East Troy, Wisconsin. After the concert Eric Clapton decides not to fly back in the helicopter he had leased for the night. Stevie Ray Vaughan gets to take Erics place, the helicopter takes off into a deep fog and moments later crashed into a ski slope on the side of a hill. Everyone aboard was instantly killed.
Life Without You by Stevie Ray Vaughan
Ooh ooh now baby
Tell me how have you been
We all have missed you
And the way you grin
The day is necessary
Every now and then
For souls to move on
Givin' life back again, and again
Fly on fly on
Fly on my friend
Go on
Live again
Love again
Day after day
Night after night
Sittin' here singin' every minute
As the years go passing by...
Long look in the mirror
We've come face to face
Wishin' all the love we took for granted
Love we have today
Life without you
All the love you passed my way
The angels have waited for so long
Now they have their way
Take your place...
