Vaughan first burst into the mainstream in 1983 with his first proper studio album, "Texas Flood." It sold two million copies in the U.S. alone. That led to many opportunities, including a Europe tour, which included this concert at a prominent rock festival.
I don't think anything from this concert has been officially released. However, it's been frequently bootlegged, due to it being broadcast by the BBC at the time.
This album is 44 minutes long.

The cover photo is from this exact concert. The image was a little rough, but I fixed it up with the Krea AI program.
Wow Thanks Paul! Always desire more Stevie Ray. Didn’t know this one! Thank you as ever I will post links to head folks across!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the SRV, Paul!

This should be labeled as 8.27.1983 per SRVArchive and the bootleg I have. Looking forward to your stray tracks compilations!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure it was the 27th, not the 28th. You can find a concert poster from the time here showing he was scheduled to play there on the 27th:

Ayyy glad the poster agrees
DeleteCan you correct the date on the artwork, Paul? Thanks again for sharing this show!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I just redid it with that slight change.
DeleteThank you very much, Paul, for responding to my suggestion so rapidly! Your artwork is a strong addition to your fine show edits.
ReplyDeleteRegards,
Sax and Guitar
Thanks. I don't get many comments about the album cover art. I'm psyched that I can now improve a lot of the crappy covers with Krea AI, but it's a big task and I'm tackling it a little bit at a time.
