My wife got to meet Steve in person in Ryazan, Russia in 2008 when she still lived with her parents while attending school (we were also married at the time). Long-distance was tough but she came back with an awesome signed photo of Steve. In the morning before the show, they were hosting a meet and greet photo session along with signing pre-printed posters for fans. Luckily, my wife was one of the few that got a chance to get a signature. She went a step further and had a photocopy made of Steve to have him sign it. (I'm at work or else I'd take a picture of it.) But this was the picture she used for him to sign. She told me he seemed to like that she went through the effort to print a nice picture for him to sign. I have it framed above my amplifier.


He even was kind enough to take a picture with her.

(Picture was taken 10-08-2008) Edited: Time stamp was wrong on picture. Fixed date.
So I now have the opportunity to see the guitar legend in person. I can't wait! Any stories that others can share of their experience with Steve? (Even if it isn't your own personal experience but that of a friend or family.)
