Stevie Ray Vaughan would’ve turned 67 on October 3.
Taken from the music world all too soon, Vaughan still remains one of the best, most influential guitarists of all time. He was finally recognized by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015 when he and Double Trouble were inducted.
In honor of his birthday, here’s a look back at Vaughan’s Rock Hall induction with a performance of “Pride and Joy” from Double Trouble with Jimmie Vaughan, John Mayer, Doyle Bramhall and Gary Clark Jr. Below the performance is a gallery of images from the night.

(Sir Paul McCartney inducting Foo Fighters? C'mon now!) She's also well-versed in etiquette and extraordinarily nice. #TransRightsAreHumanRights
