How do you know #007, #008, #009 are SRV’s?

Here's another one... SRV playing the national anthem at the Houston Astrodome in 1985.

He used a dual amp setup with King Tone Counsoul and another large Dumble head I can't exactly identify. Anyone know exactly what model it was? It looks either like a "tubes up" SSS or maybe some type of blackface Dumbleland.

Here's video of the performance. It's from the stands so you can only see the back of the amps from a distance.

That is what I have been told. And I doubt that Jimmie would sell any of Stevies gear. There is probably a picture somewhere.

I don't think SRV had that specific Silverface or Blackface anypoint from 1989 anymore. From that year onwards he was only using the blackface that is in the museum and a Marshall.

Do you have any footage or pics of him using this 4th amp which you say is number 11? Is it the same that it is in the museum or yet another one?

Sorry, don't have any. HAD has had the amp since SRV died.
