Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble
"Live At Carnegie Hall"
Stevie Ray Vaughan was (and will always be) one of the finest guitarists in Rock history. It is just sad he
left us, from a helicopter crash. His Live At Carnegie Hall concert was released years after his death,
yet listening to this concert proved his was an aspiring performer. The concert was recorded on October 4, 1984.
Released in 1997, this album would reach #1 on the Billboard Blues Albums chart, for 9 unconsecutive weeks.
Every track is outstanding. The opening instrumentals "Scuttle Buttin' and "Testifyin'" kicks off
the concert in awesome form. Stevie's vocals shines on "Love Struck Baby" and "Honey Bee." Any version
of "Cold Shot" gets anyone in a good groove. "Letter To My Girlfriend" has a great R&B feel, rather
than the common blues. "Dirty Pool" does have a get-down-dirty blues sound; it's a great slow-driven blues
number, played greatly, only the way Stevie Ray could. "Pride And Joy" and "The Things I Used To Do"
are two other great live performances. Angela Strehli gets the lead vocals on "C.O.D.", a song that is a
great rocking blues track, and the keyboards is another standout. "Iced Over" is another instrumental jam.
"Lenny" slows down the pace, another easy feeling instrumental. "Rude Mood" gets the crowd going again,
showcasing SRV's great guitar playing.
A touching moment is heard at the end, where Stevie says that this (concert) was the best birthday present he ever
had. Just touches our hearts even more, that even though he left us on that untimely day in 1990, his music and his
legacy still lives on.
