Stevie Ray Vaughan - The Little Box Of - 3 CD Box Set

Stevie Ray Vaughan had played the clubs and bars of Texas for nigh on 15 years before his big break at 1982’s Montreux Festival and his subsequent appearance on David Bowie’s Let’s Dance album the following year.• But once Stevie Ray took off there was no stopping him, and across the short period that his mainstream career lasted - tragically cut short by a fatal helicopter crash in 1990 - he built an enormous following from both blues fans who had lacked a true guitar hero guitar hero since Jimi Hendrix had passed away, and from younger enthusiasts tired of the plastic synth-scene that then dominated MTV and the Billboard charts.• He released five studio albums during his short career and toured religiously - interrupted only by his months in rehab in 1986, and for a two-year period between 1987 and 1989 when he was unable to record or compose for legal reasons.• This 3 CD collection features some of the finest live concerts ever performed by SRV, all recorded for FM Radio Broadcast so all in the finest possible quality, and all superb Stevie Ray shows, still remembered fondly by fans to this day.• DISC ONE here spotlights Stevie Ray’s first ever radio broadcast, recorded by WNOR FM at The King's Head Inn, Norfolk, Virginia, on 22nd July 1980. Featuring the newly formed Double Trouble, and performed three years before his major label debut, this show illustrates perfectly what a dynamic player and frontman Vaughan was even at this early in his career.• DISC TWO brings things forward a few years and features Stevie’s complete set played at the UK Reading Festival in 1983, a few weeks after the release of his debut Epic album, Texas Flood. Bonus cuts on DISC TWO come from his 1987 show at Manchester’s Apollo Theatre in 1988.• DISC THREE concludes this extraordinary collection with Stevie Ray Vaughan’s 1984 set at the Austin Opera House, in Austin, TX,performed a month before the release of Stevie Ray’s sophomore album on April 15th that year.TRACKLISTDISC ONE1 Hideway 3:522 Love Me Darlin’ 4:213 Tin Pan Alley 9:414 Love Struck Baby 3:065 I’m Cryin’ 4:126 Texas Flood 9:477 I’m Leaving your (Commit A Crime) 6:078 Little Wing 4:399 Driving South 6:10DISC TWO1 Testify 4:482 So Excited 5:203 Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) 7:284 Pride And Joy 4:255 Mary Had A Little Lamb 3:286 Love Struck Baby 2:587 Texas Flood 9:228 Come On (Part III) 5:119 You’ll Be Mine 5:1110 Tell Me 2:3811 I’m Leaving You (Commit A Crime) 5:3812 Pride And Joy 5:1213 Texas Flood 6:5814 Love Struck Baby 3:43DISC THREE1 Testify 4:222 Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) 10:073 Honey Bee 2:594 Mary Had A Little Lamb 3:145 Tin Pan Alley 11:126 Pride And Joy 4:527 Texas Flood 11:158 Band Introductions 1:409 Cold Shot 4:3210 The Things (That) I Used To Do 5:1111 Couldn’t Stand The Weather 4:1712 Stang’s Swang 2:4813 Testify 4:2414 Further Band Introductions 1:3415 Rude Mood 3:5216 Scuttle Buttin’ 2:51
