Stevie Ray Vaughan's last performance, live form the Alpine Music Theater, East Troy, Wisconsin August 26th, 1990. Stevie Ray Vaughan's final performance was full of his usual fire and emotion. Despite being in the middle of a grueling tour opening for Eric Clapton, he was enjoying his newfound sobriety and on peak form as he shared the stage with Clapton, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, and his brother Jimmie. Presented in excellent fidelity, together with background notes and images, this is a fitting memorial to one of the finest blues guitarists America has ever produced. Legendary last performance live from the Alpine Music Theater, East Troy, Wisconsin, before SRV's tragic death. Presented here together with background notes and images. Includes the entire National Public Radio broadcast. First time on vinyl. Three-sided, 180 gram vinyl with etched fourth side; gatefold sleeve.

Stevie Ray Vaughan's guest slot for Robert Plant on the Non Stop Go tour was not at all representative of his worth in terms of bill position, or a true reflection of his talent, but was ultimately prestigious enough considering the continuing legacy of Led Zeppelin and their iconic front man. Vaughan and his band Double Trouble were already enjoying the formation of their own legacy, which would grow in stature on the strength of the 1986 album Live Alive, and Vaughan's past collaborations with David Bowie and Jackson Browne. The set-list performed here is in places reminiscent of the songs chosen for the 1986 album, but the relaxed mood of this 1988 performance captures the early sobriety of his formative shows and a tender ferocity, allowing for a more honest picture of the legendary guitarist. This double LP includes the entire broadcast of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble's appearance at The Spectrum, Philadelphia, on May 23rd, 1988. Originally broadcast by Washington DC FM for their Superstar Concert series, this rare recorded performance reveals a seminal artist at work. Professionally remastered FM broadcast with background liners and rare archival photos.
