There's actually a Dick Dale/SRV connection. They both were in the movie Back to the Beach playing the song "Pipeline." They released the song on the latest greatest hits album "The Real Deal," i think that's what it's on but not positive. Which leads me to another story....

Dick and Stevie didn't get along at all. When they cut Pipeline for the movie, Dick wanted to just use a synthesized track with their guitars on top. Stevie being the purist he is told him no way, he wanted a live band. They ended up recording it with a track, but then Stevie went back in the studio and added a live band behind it. The things you can get away with when you're at the height of your fame, hehe. I couldn't imagine being in a spot to tell Dick Dale to F off.
