Rating: Summary: It will send chills up your spin to see the greatest ever!!! Review: This DVD is the one that will wear your DVD player out! Buy it, love it and tell all of your friends about it!
Rating: Summary: Bow to the best Blues Guitarist Ever Review: This is a must have for any collection.I don't understand a previous review that said the audio was not good. In fact (on my system) the audio is fantastic particularly if you listen in the 5.1 dolby mode. I have seen these videos presented on VHS format as well. I can therefore say with conviction that the DVD format is FAR superior to the VHS. This is vintage SRV, before and after drug rehab, and it is fantanstic.
Rating: Summary: This is what made me a Stevie Ray fan. Review: A friend of mine was a Stevie Ray Vaughan fan so I video taped this show for him off the local PBS station. I wasn't a Stevie Ray Vaughan fan, I didn't like going to live concerts and didn't like live albums. When I watched this video I was an instant fan. The Great Ones make it look so easy and Stevie does just that. Eric Clapton said that when he first heard Stevie Ray on the radio he had to pull his car to the side of the road and just listen. I am getting chills just thinking about this video. I'm going to have to go and watch it again.
Rating: Summary: A glimpse of legend. Review: Sit back, relax and get ready 'cause Stevie Ray is hot on this video. If you've never seen it please, please do not miss it-truly amazing guitar playing!
Rating: Summary: Great concert but disappointing audio quality Review: This is a great concert, but we were disappointed in the sound quality and consistency from song to song. The speaker mixing was low quality, it isn't true dolby digital. At times the lips didn't even seem synched properly.
Rating: Summary: Blues guitar at its best Review: My dad got me this tape for christmas this last year, and it throughly kicked my ***. It is such a shame that he died in that helicopter crash after getting cleaned up. Stevie is by far one of the all time greats.
Rating: Summary: A MUST HAVE! Review: The first few songs make you a little uncomfortable because you see how nervous and messed up Stevie is, but he still plays great. The second part is fantastic, he is clean and smoking. After I saw this I couldn't get enough Stevie, I am scouring the net for videos of him. The real prize of this video has to be Riviera Paradise at the end. He truly speaks through his guitar.
Rating: Summary: Justice Served Review: This is an emotional uplifting concert. His Last! He truely played like it was his last (and it was). Stevie proves here that playing the blues sober can get you drunk on the blues
Rating: Summary: S.R.V and D.T rock Austin Review: A very good video giving a snap shot of the man in action. The video shows Stevie in 1983 and you can see that he is nervous and still suffering from substance abuse - you can tell and even feel that he is nervous just by watching him stand in front of the mic, sweating with his eyes closed so as not to see the crowd watching him. He still gives a damn good performance. Then the video shows the band in 1989 when they are all sobered up, Stevie is a lot more confident as he looks at and talks to the crowd and his playing has improved a hell of a lot. One thing I do find very annoying is the voice over introduction for the 1983 and 89 performances I feel they should have canned that idea as would rather have just had a subtitle appear than have a voice over. All this aside BUY THIS VIDEO!!! it is well worth it even with these slight annoyances. END
Rating: Summary: SRV and Double Trouble at their best! Review: This is the one video that will show you how talented and gifted SRV and Double Trouble were. The high quality in these two appearances on Austin City Limits makes it clear how much energy and life Stevie Ray Vaughn put in to playing the guitar and singing. From standard blues to awesome rock and roll electric guitar playing, you can feel the energy flowing out of these musicians. Listening to Double Trouble tear through their songs will inspire you to get your axe and head to the woodshed, or go out and buy your first guitar. Forget about the Grammys they won, the recordings with David Bowie, gold records, etc: this video will get you excited about the blues and music all over again! END
