- By the summer of 1982, Stevie Ray Vaughn was already a veteran of the Southern blues circuit. Desperately searching for his big break, he was asked to play "Blues Night" at the annual Montreaux Jazz Festival in Montreaux, Switzerland. Playing like his life depended on it, Stevie put on a fiery performance - full of future SRVics like "Pride and Joy" and "Love Struck Baby." The audience could have
DVD Reviews of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - Live at Montreux 1982 & 1985
DVD Review: Favorite Live Dvd
Summary: 5 Stars
This dvd is amazing and my favorite! It has two live performances one in '82 or '83 where SRV and double trouble actually gets boo-ed off the stage. Which is actually my favorite disc of the two because he plays songs that aren't talked about too much. The second dvd was in '85 when SRV and double trouble were actually signed onto a label this time which helped them in not getting boo-ed off of the stage that time around. Great for a die hard SRV fan to put in their collection! DVD Review: Nothing was on the CD's Pissed OFF
Summary: 1 Stars
We ordered Stevie Ray Vaughn and received two CD/s with NOTHING ON THEM! Very BAD. I really wanted this music!!DVD Review: Nothing Tops This Is, If You Like SRV
Summary: 5 Stars
I read somewhere once that if you really want a composite of what Stevie Ray Vaughan was all about, musically, all you need is this DVD. I totally agree. I have a half dozen SRV discs or tapes but nothing tops this.
You get two concerts, one on each disc. The first is the "controversial" 1982 concert at Montreux (in Switzerland) and the other is the 1985 return trip to Montreux. The first was "controverial" in the reception Vaughan and his band received during and immediately after the performing: booing! It is shocking to hear. I've never heard an artist booed on a disc put out for public release, but it's in here. (There were a lot of cheers, too.) Of course, the booing and catcalls were totally unwarranted. The band was excellent and Stevie was tremendous, but the crowd was expecting what they had heard all day: quiet, acoustic blues guitar. When SRV turned up the amps and did his thing, some of them didn't like it. Nonetheless, I liked it and chances are you will, too, if you are a fan of his, or simply blues/rock. What I liked best were a couple of his long, slow numbers, such as "Dirty Pool."
On that disc is a documentary, with band members Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon, discussing that '82 concert and what happened afterward. Jackson Browne also gives his take on his participation in helping out SRV and the band. It's pretty interesting.
By 1985, the crowd knew all about SRV and gave him a great reception and he put on the best show, perhaps, I have ever seen him (and the band) do - just electrifying. In fact, there are four straight numbers - Tiny Pan Alley (a.k.a. Roughest Place In Town, Look At Little Sister, Voodoo Chile and Texas Flood - that are done so well that I had tears in my eyes. That is THE best version Vaughan has ever done on the Jimi Hendrix number (Voodoo Chile) and you have to just see and hear this to believe it. SRV pulls out all the stops, doing things with a guitar I've never seen before.
Folks, it's true: this is the Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble DVD to get, above all others.
DVD Review: Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble "Live at Montreux"
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a true "classic" double dvd,(two disc), with two concerts of Stevie Ray, and Double Trouble performing at the Montreux Jazz Fesival.
It is a masterpiece of "blues-rock" guitar work by Stevie Ray. It also contains bonus material of a documentary interviews with Chris Layton, Tommy Shannon, Jackson Browne and John Mayer.
Concert one July 17, 1982, the line-up is Stevie Ray on electric guitar and vocals, Tommy Shannon on bass and Chris Layton on the drums. (This was before they added a keyboard player). The set list consists of 8 songs,includeing the classis: "Pride and Joy", "Texas Flood", and "Love Struck Baby". The performances are outstanding, but they get "booed" off stage. However, David Bowie was in the audience and he was impressed with Stevie's guitar Skills, so he got him to play on Bowie's "Let's Dance" album of 1982.
Concert two - July 15, 1985 and the line up consists of Stevie Ray on guitar and vocals, Tommy Shannon on bass, Chris Layton on drums, and Reese Wynans on keyboards. There are also guest appearances with Johnny Copeland, also from Texas. The set list consists of 13 songs. The concert is outstanding, and the fans love it this time. Some "classic's " performed include: "Pride and Joy", "Mary had a Little Lamb", "Cold Shot" (with Johnny Copeland), "Tin Pan Alley" (with Johnny Copeland), "Look at Little Sister" (with Johnny Copeland), "Voodoo Child" and they are called out for an encore which includes "Couldn't Stand the Weather".
Concert two above shows Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble at their very best. This is a true classic 5 star concert. Stevie Ray was a guitar master, and this concert dvd shows it.
If you like great "blues-rock" guitar music, then I highly recommend this one, you won't be disappointed.
DVD Review: Bad-A**

Street Release Date: 09/14/2004
Genre: ROCK/POP
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.
When Stevie, Chris, and Tommy returned to Switzerland three years later, with organist Reese Wynans adding rich new dimension to the Double Trouble sound, the Montreux crowd was primed for a rip-snorting set, and SRV's jubilant response is a joyous thing to witness. One of SRV's favorite bluesmen, Johnny Copeland, appears for a three-song triumph in a set that's uniformly superior and ecstatically energized. Basic three-camera coverage is all you need, although guitar students--for whom this DVD is a godsend--will surely wish for more emphasis on SRV's picking and fretwork. Recording quality is superb in the Montreux tradition, with 5.1-channel remixes that surpass the original masters. A splendid 23-minute documentary features retrospective interviews with Layton, Shannon, Browne, and John Mayer, and the accompanying booklet includes a heartfelt reminiscence from Bowie. Stevie Ray may be gone, but Live at Montreux ensures that his gold-standard legacy will endure. --Jeff Shannon
