I saw BOC maybe 5 times in my youth and always loved that Buck Dharma was a smaller guy who was a wonderful vocalist and great guitarist. Plus he sported Farrah-hair and a wonderful 70s 'stache.

BB King, baby -- The Master -- in 1974 as part of the opening act of the Ali-Foreman "Rumble in the Jungle."
And a decade later in a transcendent Austin City Limits performance (with Calvin Owens -- that Isaac-from-the-Love-Boat-looking mofo on the trumpet -- who does a man's job here, and almost outshines BB ... almost):

45 minutes of live "at the height of his powers" Stevie Ray, filmed in Nashville for the 1987 Jerry Lewis Telethon. Wonderful stuff, especially the opener "Mary Had a Little Lamb": SRV gives an extended mid-song master class demonstration of charismatic 'rhythm-guitar-as-lead' playing. He blows these peoples' damn faces off and they love it.
Living in Houston since my formative years, I got to see SRV live 8-10 times before he blew up but gottamn it 's easy to forget how huge his stage presence was ... Stevie Ray was a straight up guitar hurricane.
The encore of "Life Without You" is poignant, confessional, gorgeous and incendiary.
EDIT: Yep, same bassist as the Johnny Winter clip 17 years earlier
