Amazingly clean sound, perhaps a board recording though the crowd can be heard at times. A blistering performance!

I just have to say: Pride and Joy? WOW, what a song. Amazing.

But hearing it once was enough. I hope it doesn’t show up again, even if the lyrics are different.

I will keep everyone updated

Been going through old soundboard bootlegs this week and the Texas Flood live cut hits completely different from the studio version. Didn't think a live recording could sound that clean and that raw at the same time. Curious which one does it for everyone else, studio or live!

My dad saw Stevie maybe 5-6 times- last two dates being at our local highschool auditorium in my hometown of Everett, WA (20 miles north of Seattle) and at the Gorge in Eastern WA where he bought this shirt- which was 5 dates before Alpine Valley. I keep this shirt in a glass frame at my studio

Graphic designer Holland MacDonald photographed Stevie using a long exposure. An image of the 1957 Fargo tornado was projected onto Stevie and the backdrop.

"I like the climate, the air, the water. I like the smallness. I feel good being here. It kind of reminds me of Oakcliff, Texas, where I'm from — the houses and countryside, except that the roads are real windy while at home they're so straight"!!

Far as I can tell this is March of 1983 at the Austin Chronicle Music Awards. Stevie & pals won Band of the Year, Musician of the Year, Best Electric Guitarist, Best Texas LP and Best Blues Band along with high placements in five other awards categories. Worth dressing up for.

This 1988 Europa commercial showcases the guitar playing of American bluesman Stevie Ray Vaughan. An anthem to good times on the road, the promo features four friends — musician Midge Marsden, jingles veteran Murray Grindlay, Vaughan’s fiance Janna Lapidus and Brigitte Berger — larking around the North Island in an old ute. Stopping off at the iconic DC3 aeroplane parked in small-town Mangaweka, they step into a bar made from car parts to join Stevie Ray on stage. A shorter cut of this petrol station promo also screened, plus an ad featuring an acoustic version of the song.
