DVD Reviews of Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble - Live at the El Mocambo 1983
DVD Review: Excellent DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first SRV video, and it is incredible! That guy could really play... a sad loss and a must have for any blues guitar lover. SRV really rips it up and the sound is top notch. DVD Review: SRV Live at El Momambo
Summary: 4 Stars
If you've never saw SRV live, this is the closest thing to understanding why his fame grew. While raw, the sound is good and being able to watch him smoke the frets is amazing. SRV was at the top of his game at what he did...ENTERTAIN!!!!!!!!! Much better than the Austin City limits dvd in the box set.DVD Review: Buy This for Texas Flood!
Summary: 5 Stars
This live performance at a small venue in Toronto really shows Stevie Ray in all his glory! His playing on Texas Flood is a guitar classic...playing behind the back...super intense blues riffs...a man using a guitar as an extension of his creative forces. I've never seen anybody so connected to his instrument! If you play guitar or are just learning the instrument...this DVD shows what the capabilities are! DVD Review: SRV Makes For A Great Workout!
Summary: 5 Stars
It took me a couple of viewings to fully appreciate this concert. It sounded like too much of the same thing over and over but, man, it gets better and better with each viewing....and the louder you play it the better it sounds, too!
Vaughan and his boys are seen and heard at the El Mocambo nightclub in Toronto in 1983. It was small intimate place and SRV must have made it sound deafening.
The first 40 minutes are about as good a rocking time as you ask for, and it makes a great workout video if you're on an aerobics machine. In fact, I can't think of a better workout tape. Visually, the most memorable scenes are probably with Stevie Ray playing the guitar from behind his back and behind his head! SRV was the only guitarist I've heard that could a decent imitation of Jimi Hendrix, which he also does here in this concert.
DVD Review: classic!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of his best shows captured for all to see. Stellar performance, Stevie at his best. No one can play Texas blues guitar like SRV. If you are a fan, this is a must have, if not you will be after witnessing this dynamic performer.
Description of Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble - Live at the El Mocambo 1983
Studio: Sony Music Release Date: 09/10/2002 Run time: 63 minutes Rating: NrIn 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 drug free, 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-time event. All fans of the blues will be grateful to those who had the foresight to capture it on film. --Mark Walker
