Product Description: By the summer of 1982 Stevie Ray Vaughn was already a veteran of the Southern blues circuit. Desperately searching for his big break he was asked to play "Blues Night" at the annual Montreaux Jazz Festival in Montreaux Switzerland. Playing like his life depended on it Stevie put on a fiery performance - full of future SRV classics like "Pride and Joy" and "Love Struck Baby." The audience could have cared less. Every song Stevie played was greeted by an increasing wave of boos and hisses and he left the stage bewildered and heart-broken.As fate would have it the would be the most important single show Stevie ever played. In attendance at the festival were two figures who would prove instrumental in Stevie's subsequent rise to stardom: David Bowie and Jackson Browne. They immediately recognized Stevie's raw talent and limitless passion. Asia result Jackson Browne offered Stevie the opportunity to record (free of charge) at his own studio the tapes would be Texas Flood - Stevie's first studio album for Epic Records. In addition Stevie was asked to play on Bowie's hugely successful Let's Dance album and tour.Three years later when Stevie was invited back to headline "Blues Night" at the festival the crowd now familiar with Stevie's songs and albums treated him like the conquering hero. And Stevie again played like his life depended on it because as we all came to recognize and respect that was the only was he knew how.Format: DVD AUDIO Genre: MUSIC DVD/CONCERTS Rating: NR UPC: 074645863092 Manufacturer No: E2D58630


Customer Reviews


4 stars Stevie Ray - Live
A legend in my time - rocks and thumps to a beat only he can drive home.. recommended . A great visual treat for Stevie fans....


4 stars Great show, not so great quality
This is a fantastic Stevie Ray Vaughan show which shows the true guitar skills of Stevie Ray. Any true fan will need to own this show simply to hear his masterfuil guitar shredding. The sound quality isn't great, but at a normal level of sound, it's fine. The only problem is the bass is a little off when you turn it up.


5 stars If you like SRV, you MUST get this DVD set!!
I'm a long time fan of SRV and Double Trouble. This DVD shows his big break at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1982. I recommend watching the 15 minute documentary on disk 1 before watching the show. It gives the background information on the show itself, the fact that David Bowie and Jackson Brown were in the audience that night, and tells about the jam session that Jackson Brown and his band had with SRV and his band that lasted all night long!! David and Jackson were blown away as you will be with the awesome raw talent and never endning chops that SRV demonstrated everytime he played. What will shock you the most, is the fact that some people in the crowd were actually BOOING SRV the entire show and when he left the stage in 1982. SRV was crushed by this, but his future track to stardom was set in motion that night because David Bowie and Jackson Brown knew pure talent when they saw it! Thank goodness they were there, otherwise we might have never known what we would miss in this legendary Blues guitarist. SRV comes back in 1985 to Montreux as the headliner as it only took a couple of years for him to be recognized as the guitar god he truly was. I put this DVD set at the very top of my list for MUST have!! You will too once you get it, the price is unreal on Amazon, places like Best Buy wanted 4 times the money for it, you can't go wrong for the content of this set, and the price at Amazon won't dent your pocket book, it's a WIN WIN no matter how you look at it! GET THIS DVD!!


5 stars Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - Live at Montreux 1982 & 1985
Fantastic DVD! The difference in the audience's reception between the 1st and 2nd concert is striking. And it is quite apparent that in the meantime between the 2 concerts, Stevie Ray and his band had been making a lot of money. His band's equipment and attire were garage band quality for the 1st concert, but by the second they had upgraded considerably. Stevie's outfit made me laugh - he's so outrageous! Great music on both concerts - the stuff we love to hear! The video quality was very good too - play it on a HD upgrading player, and if your TV is HD you are in for a visual treat! Worth the money and nice and long.


5 stars league of his own
SRV shows his greatness here..nice video work and great overall DVD's for two and a half hrs of greatness, it is well worth your money. The best SRV DVD out there. In my opinion the second disc is better than the first, for a few reasons. One being Johnny Copeland and the other being Stevies energy. Not that it wasn't there in the first disc, but when they are both alternating(Copeland & Vaughan) it is quite amazing how they feed off eachother...even though people hate on the organ, you can't hate on Reese Wynans, he has some ability in his own right. either way a must have DVD!
