 SRV Finally Gets The Deluxe Treatment July 30, 2010
Blues.at.Sunrise
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Well, being one who grew up almost exclusively on the music of Stevie Ray Vaughan (because my parents saw his last concert at Alpine Valley and were so impressed with him), I am happy to see that he has finally been given the Deluxe/Legacy Treatment for one of his albums.
The original album, which consists of only eight songs is great in its own right, but with the addition of twenty-four extra songs this legacy edition really captures where the band was at during that time period, particularly where they were in the studio. I had always heard that the Couldn't Stand The Weather sessions were very productive and that he had cut two and a half to three albums worth of material during those sessions. We had been given a glimpse of some of the outtakes on The Sky Is Crying and other releases, but it is refreshing to be able to hear all of the previously released outtakes from this session with their original/intended album. You do get three Previously Unreleased studio outtakes which are very good, in particularly a different version of The Sky Is Crying (which is different than the one released on the Blues at Sunrise album) and an early version of Boot Hill, which really sounds live and is the reason that I love it (It should be mentioned that this version he is not playing slide, unlike the 1989 version that appeared on The Sky Is Crying). The third unreleased studio outtake in an alternate take of Stang's Swang, which does not have the horn section and does sound quite different but still good. I still have not determined if this is the same version that was released as a very limited promo with the SRV Box Set that Best Buy gave away, but even if it is, it is still good and is now available to the mass public.
The live concert which is from the August 17 late show from 1984, and was recorded in Montreal. The concert was actually a King Biscuit Flower Hour Show, and can be heard for free along with three other concerts (including the early show from the same day) at King Biscuits website. The show is not the complete show, the one song that I wish they would have included was "Tell Me", but I can't complain too much about a great live concert that shows the trio really at the height of their abilities (before the addition of Reese Wynans and before the Drugs took a serious toll on Tommy Shannon and Stevie). The versions of Voodoo Chile (Slight Return), and Tin Pan Alley are really, in my eyes and ears, worth the price alone. And the version of Texas Flood, as always is great (and he really uses the Albert King bends in that one). The whole concert is fantastic and it sounds great.
I only have two complaints with this edition, the first, as I have already mentioned is that the concert is not complete, and second is that you do not get the "SRV Speaks" that was released on the 1999 remaster. But for the price, which is very low, compared to other deluxe editions, I can't complain at all, for the music is fantastic and I am elated to finally see SRV get the deluxe treatment that he so rightfully deserves. So if you are a fan of Albert King, Buddy Guy, B.B or Freddie King, or even Clapton and early Zep (or if you just like SRV and modern blues) this would be a great buy for you, especially considering the price.
Stevie shreds the frets July 27, 2010

The previously unreleased 1984 Montreal concert is reason enough to purchase this Legacy Edition. The sound is superb, with taut, articulate bass.
Some duplication on the studio disc doesn't concern me. The three unreleased tracks are worthy additions. I hope there are more unreleased SRV concerts of this quality in the vaults to be paired with future Epic Legacy editions of his studio output.
From AUSTIN to BOSTON'''SRV and "SERIOUS TROUBLE". August 15, 2010
Rick "Fourstrings" Lauzon (Lehigh Acres,FL.)
I am "Rit the Git"..why, caused I started playing the rhythm guitar, Bass, leads, mandolins, and learned a lot from a lot of books if I could get my warm fingers on them...I could run the best of riffs when I was only 11 and on TV..My dad bought me a #1214 Harmony to see "if I had it in me".
I had that plus piano,organs, I played Guitar Boogie Shuffle better than anyone I met and ended up slapping snot out of my 2 "Kent" Basses (twins) and joined up with anyone that felt he-she had something to play.
We always did country, Rock-a-Billy, then we blended in with the top blues players,and we showed the audiences where we stood: Alongside of SRV and as he said on Montreaux: "We were here last couple of years back, got "Booooed"" and on the same year "we won a Grammy" by misunderstanding Swedes who spoke and screwed up "Montruex"(Booooooo!) and the fun for all.
I caught SRV when the organist, joined up in 1984 then they just laughed it all off when He admitted to "booze" and "Beans", but now he was running pure and we were in for some "real blues(And,...with and from the heart~!)
I am still jammin' for my after 45 years of Rock and Blues, Southern Rock, playing the Strat, the P-Bass, and a fistful of anything that I set my heart to playing.
You must catch this CD, or LP, DVD's anything, but, screw the pretending here's how Stevie would do it's" out there .
They're fakes, I thought I could learn, but, "listen to your heart."
Proud to have seen him in "Providence Theater" in his last sets....Let's have a moment of silence and then get the CD, DVD, or any you can get into.
Remember "Stevie" and as he called the four of the best in Montreaux 1985...thanks, Chris, Tommy, and the last to make "Double Trouble" as Stevie said it best: "Serious Trouble"...I felt a name change commin'~!
Again,
"Rick-the-Guit"...Fourstrings
