I had the pleasure of catching Brian Setzer and the Stray Cats opening for Stevie Ray Vaughn shortly before Stevie's untimely death in 1990. Stevie Ray stole the show, but Brian was every bit his equal that night. The Cats put on one hell of a show and Setzer wailed like a man on fire.

This live version of 'Switch Blade 327' isn't the greatest quality, but the music and vibe comes through loud and clear.

More music tonight at our sister site Newstalgia: The Cribs with Johnny Marr live at The Limelight in Belfast, 2004.
