Live at Montreux 1982 & 1985 [Live]

Amazon.com
It's not the familiar, fiery playing of Stevie Ray Vaughan that tips listeners off that this set's first disc has captured an extraordinary moment in modern blues history; it's the jarring, rising chorus of boos that accompanies it. As with previous musicians as disparate as Dylan and Stravinsky, Vaughan's willful tweaking of staid genre conventions initially infuriated purists. Though few could have imagined it at the time, Vaughan and company's July 17, 1982, show at the Montreux Jazz Festival (included here in its entirety) ignited not only a brilliant career, but a widespread revival of the blues as well.

David Bowie was there that night, but he was not booing. He secured the Texas guitarist's services for his smash Let's Dance album on the spot, nearly a year before Vaughan would make his major-label debut.

Straight from the Austin club scene, the band displays their nervous energy in a set that contains several previously unreleased/rare gems from SRV's early repertoire, including the Hound Dog Taylor romp "Give Me Back My Wig." By the time of this set's second disc, recorded just three years later, SRV was a worldwide star, the boos had turned to rousing cheers, and Vaughan's nervousness was replaced by an incendiary swagger he seemed all too happy to push into the crowd's faces. With the band (drummer Chris Layton, bassist Tommy Shannon) now augmented by Reese Wynans on organ and guest guitarist Johnny Copeland sitting in on "Tin Pan Alley," the triumphant show (11 of the 15 songs are included here) centered on the cream of SRV's first three studio albums. While some of these tracks have found their way onto other releases (Live Alive, Blues at Sunrise), the show's "Scuttle Buttin'," "Voodoo Chile," "Gone Home," and "Couldn't Stand the Weather" are released here for the first time. The set's comprehensive liner notes contain new commentary from the band's Shannon and Layton, David Bowie, early confidant Darryl Pitt, and many quotes from the guitar legend himself. All history lessons should be this riveting. --Jerry McCulley

Phenomenal.......2007-05-04

These are two classic SRV shows and a good place to start for anyone just beginning to be interested in SRV (good bang for the buck and includes a solid number of SRV staples). As others have written, the first (1982) was a defining performance -- he was booed, but made the right impression on notables (including Bowie). The second show is a triumphant return.

Highlights include the 82's Texas Flood and Dirty Pool and 85's Voodoo Chile and Tin Pan Alley.

1982 performance is second to none.......2007-02-25

This is a must have for SRV fans. I would suggest the DVD as well captures a world class performance before he was even discovered or released on CD.

The 1982 version of Hideaway/Rudemood will give you goose bumps or you dont like blues.

ENJOY!

Amazing - Nicely Put Together.......2006-10-28

Hats off to Jimmie for tastefully adding to the SRV catalog. This album is a true treat for any SRV fan. The story has been well told about how SRV & DT went to the Montreux Blues Festival as was boo'ed. Afterwards David Bowie approached Stevie to play on the Let's Dance album and Jackson Browne offered the band free use of his LA studio, which produced their masterful debut album 'Texas Flood'. This frist disc is from the 1982 set and it is amazing. The second disc sees the band returning in 1985, but this time to cheering fans. This disc and many of the songs are on Alive Live. It's great to comapre and contrast the two shows and see how they had evolved during that time period. It's great that more material has been made available to the public from his early days. The CD is nicely put together with great pictures and liner notes. This is a great addition to any SRV collection and an excellent way to get to know Stevie for first timers.

get it on DVD.......2006-03-19

I bought this in a 2-DVD set for my husband this past Christmas; he is a big SRV fan. The DVD set is absolutely fantastic. The music is great, but Stevie Ray is also so awesome to watch, especially the 1985 concert. It is a must-have for SRV fans; get it on DVD, you won't regret it!

1982 Amazing. Short, perhaps his best........2005-12-03

I have been a fan since his first album. I bought this to keep the collection complete, thinking it was just another live set. The first disc, from before his first album was recorded, is a brilliant, hungry and energetic set. I understand now why David Bowie and Jackson Browne had to introduce themselves after this concert. Short, yes, perhaps his best. The second disc is great from years later. Buy this CD.
