If you have even a passing interest in Stevie Ray Vaughan’s peerless mastery of urban blues guitar, you must own Live at Montreux 1982 & 1985. Spaced almost exactly three years apart, these concerts (60 and 93 minutes, respectively) represent the Texan blues god at his fiery best, with Double Trouble (drummer Chris Layton and bassist Tommy Shannon) laying the solid foundation upon which SRV built a Fender-driven sound as fierce as it was perfectly refined. The ’82 show was truly “success in disguise,” because despite booing from a festival audience lulled by a day of acoustic blues, and the stunned dejection that SRV felt after persevering through a uncompromising set, this was the turning point in SRV’s career, leading to post-show encounters with Jackson Browne and David Bowie, who proved instrumental in bringing Stevie’s music to an appreciative global audience.
