Amazon.com essential video
Few guitarists ever mastered the Fender Stratocaster like the late, great Texas bluesman Stevie Ray Vaughan, and this priceless digital video disc collects both of the sizzling appearances that Vaughan and his solid band, Double Trouble, made on the PBS concert series Austin City Limits. Combined to form the most popular program in the show's distinguished history, the concerts were taped in 1983 and 1989; both provide a valuable portrait of Vaughan's astounding artistic development. The performances serve as bookends to Vaughan's brilliant career with Double Trouble, showing (in the words of producer Terry Lickona) a striking contrast between "zero self-confidence" and "pure magic," but in both cases you can see a master at work. Songs include "Pride and Joy," "Texas Flood," "Voodoo Chile," "Cold Shot," and "Riviera Paradise." This great-sounding DVD also includes the posthumous music video "Little Wing," featuring clips of Double Trouble and archival footage of blues greats from the 1920s to the mid-1990s. If you're even a part-time blues fan, Stevie Ray Vaughan: Live from Austin, Texas is a must-have disc. --Jeff Shannon

great
Awesome DVD, great quality and a live up close setting. If you enjoy this music, get this DVD

Excellent
Nice quality production, lots of music, satisfies the craving for listening to Stevie's music and seeing him perform.

AWESOME, BUT WHERE IS THE REST?
I have owned the VHS version and played it till it just won't play. I'm not the only one, I'm sure. Like most, I bought the DVD as soon as it was released and it has seen better days as well. I won't bore you with what you already know. I want to know why the powers that be have yet to release the first show from start to finish, regardless of what they may think of the quality of the performance? As we know, the remaining songs from the second show do appear on the dvd from the boxed set. Would it be too much to ask to have the entire show from '89 on one dvd and in chronilogical order? Honestly, think of the money that would be made for whomever owns the rights.
When will we see the whole show from the In Session program with Albert? I live in London,Ontario, which is a stones throw from Hamilton, where the show originated from and I am sure I recall seeing Johnny Winter and Dr. John perform on this show as well.
It would be great to see SRV and Albert full blown on DVD.
Turn It Up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
