Amazon.co.uk Review

In 1990, Texas bluesman Stevie Ray Vaughan was just emerging from a long period in which drugs had taken their toll: the previous year's In Step album was the first he had made "clean", and the results were a marvel. But then, after sharing a stage with Buddy Guy, Robert Cray and Eric Clapton, he boarded a helicopter to Chicago. It crashed and the career of one of the great blues guitarists was ended.

Rewind to 1983 and here is Stevie Ray at the beginning of his fame, his first album with his backing band Double Trouble, Texas Flood, having just been released to critical and popular acclaim. The venue is the El Mocambo club in Toronto, a dark, smoky joint with a laid-back but appreciative clientele. Vaughan, drummer Chris Layton and bassist Tommy Shannon share the tiny stage. The guitarist, bedecked in trademark hat and alligator-skin boots, is pale of complexion, sweating from the heat and physical exertion, and physically much smaller than Shannon, who towers over him. But Vaughan dominates, as much by the magnetism of his flamboyant personality as his guitar playing. And what playing: by turns fiery, funky, then limpid and surprisingly graceful. Here is an authentic blues artist captured in the throes of living through his music. At this early stage in his career he was still very much in thrall to Jimi Hendrix (the flower-power shirt gives it away), as covers of "Voodoo Chile" and "Third Stone from the Sun" (the latter a Hendrix-inspired guitar-abuse session) indicate. The highlight of the show, however, is his rendition of "Texas Flood" which turns out to be an amazing essay on the art of blues guitar. This is a raw, intimate and spontaneous record of a one-off event. All fans of the blues will be grateful to those who had the foresight to capture it on film.

On the DVD: The disc allows the viewer to chose a lyrics on/off option, as well as different audio mixes (Dolby Surround or Stereo). There's also a short interview with Double Trouble's Clayton and Shannon, recorded in 1999, in which they reveal that Stevie never bothered with a set list, and a biography, discography and timeline. --Mark Walker

WOW, SRV on DVD! 24 Jun 2000
Format:DVD
If you're an fan of Stevie, chances are that, like me, you already own 'Live at the el Mocambo' on video. But I would urge you to buy the DVD as well. The picture quality is excellent and the sound quality amazing, from the beauty of 'Lenny' to the wild feedback of 'Third Stone from the Sun' (I still can't believe how he treats his beloved guitar during this song!). There are no fancy extras like multi-angles, (not really needed in a venue the size of the el Mocambo!) just pure, straight from the heart blues. There are a few extras on the disc, the Time Line probably won't teach you anything new but the interview with Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon features some interesting and funny stories about Stevie. Just to sum up, Stevie Ray Vaughan was one of the greatest guitar players ever and this is the perfect way to remember him.

Anyone who knows the tragically late, lamented SRV's music will know that it was straight out of the Texas Blues tradition. Brimming with machismo and straight ahead tales of deception and cruelty, his songs and his voice left you under no illusion - he'd been to Tin Pan Alley, and it was the roughest place. What completely wells me up to this day is watching him play Lenny - With 100%, intense devotion to his music, sweat pouring down his face at the end of a dazzling 'energetic' set (to say the least), he pulls up a chair, sits down, and just plays the most beautiful melodic, mysterious piece of sublime guitar you'll hear this side of Hendrix. Even his good pal Eric Clapton would marvel at this guy's devotion and ability. It's also a must for anyone who likes the sound of a great blues band belting out Texas-style blues... the place just rocks. You may want to see his later performances, and compare this 1983, raw, un-confident, messed up on booze coke-and-junk outlaw, with the cleaned up, rehabbed and focussed blues 'star' he eventually became before his death - and to say that is no criticism of him at all - but this performance will probably haunt you the most... simply masterful.
