My wife, a protege of mine, his girlfriend, and i went to Alpine Valley to see Clapton and SRV.

Of course, with us only about 3 hours from home, the news didn't hit until a couple hours after we got home.

IIRC, it was a Sunday night concert so we found out Monday morning that he had died in the chopper crash.
