This release shows Stevie just as things were beginning to happen after years on the road of struggling to get his music heard. In Austin, San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas, Texas, he was already a "must see", now the world would get to experience one of our Texas Treasures! The high points are Texas Flood, Lenny, and Voodoo Chile. This movie will be a great inspiration to any young (or old) guitar player. Stevie makes it look SO easy. That is his gift! According to Chris Layton: "The band really didn't know that they were going to be filmed that night, they just plugged in and 'floored it'". The incredible thing is that whether it was to 10,000 or just 2 people back in the club days, Stevie gave the same smoking show. He literally plugged into his heart and poured it out on the stage. This is one of MY favorite shows captured. If you like this, you should check out Rockpalast, Live In Italy, Japan, Austin City Limits, Daytona, and the several others available. There is still a lot of really great footage available that hopefully will be released one day. Just like one of Stevie's heroes, Jimi Hendrix, kids today are still talking about him 20 years after his tragic passing.
