Stevie Ray Vaughn at Montreux

Anyone else have it?

I picked it up last weekend after contemplating it the first few times I saw it at Costco. 2 CDs/2 DVDs. So far I've watched the first half of the '82 show and listened to the first half of the '85 show. Just great. The video of the '82 show makes you feel like you're right on stage with the band. You just don't get the energy that these live performances have on his studio discs (as good as they are). I also like how it documents the change in the crowd reaction from '82 (mix of applause and boos) to '85 (all applause) at the same venue.

I wish I'd seen him in concert. What a great guitarist.

He has a few other Live DVDs out, and these are good, too.  However, the Montreux was interesting as it has more background discussion.  I saw him three times, and each time was exactly like Montreux in the sense that the band just came out and started jamming, and most songs were merely one long jam.
