Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble - Live at the El Macambo 1983 (DVD, 1998)

This is a classic performance by one of the most legendary guitarists of all time.
With classics like "Pride and Joy" and "Tell Me" and even a cover of Jimi Hendrixs' "VooDoo Chile" it showcases Stevie Ray's talent and virtuosity in his earliest days.
Any SRV fan should not be without this awesome concert in their collection.
STEVIE RAY VAUGHN...ROCK ON !!!

XXXSTAY TRUEXXX

I already had my own Live at the El Mocambo but I bought this DVD as a present for a female guitar player that I know. If you like Stevie Ray, or blues, or rock, this performance is a MUST HAVE. It's a classic if there ever was one ! Stevie was totally in the zone that night and it was power trio perfection. Like Jimi Hendrix, the music world has yet to fill Stevie's vacancy. Enjoy.....

I ordered two SRV live performance DVDs, they were Live at Montreux and this. I have to say that the Montreux 2-disc set feels much more complete than this one. This is just a straight live performance at a club with little extra, while Live at Montreux has two performances from a Jazz festival, set three years apart.
That set includes guest appearances by Johnny Copeland, who joins SRV on three songs, and a documentary with John Mayer, Jackson Browne, and Double Trouble reflecting on the performances. It also includes a neat insert featuring pictures of the band, quotes from SRV and other famous musicians reflecting back on the performances.
I watched El Mocambo first, was satisfied with it, but not blown away. Then I watched Montreux and realized that it blew Mocambo out of the water. If you're just a casual SRV fan and want the live experience, then I suggest you go for Montreux instead.

Amazing footage of Stevie Ray Vaughn's first album tour from 1983. The track "Texas Flood" alone was worth the cost of this dvd, and then there's the rest of the show which was amazing. The high-energy blues-rock, blues, and all the rest are testament to the musical genius of this guitar legend, and all the magic of his live performances is captured in this video. BUY IT!

This Stevie Ray Vaughan video is awesome. The camera happened to be there to record another act and they just recorded Stevie for practice which resulted in one of the most incredible live recordings not only of his musical career, but possibly one of the best live recordings of all time. It's too bad his life was cut short, as we would have experienced many more Stevie Ray patented guitar licks, and new tricks. He never received the credit he deserved for being a guitar wizard. Watch this video and try to not be amazed at what he does with that guitar. I guarantee you will not believe your eyes or ears.
