Movie Reviews of A Tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan
Movie Review: An Allstar Tribute to One of the Greatest Bluesman & Guitarist of All Time - The Late/Great Stevie Ray Vaughan !!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Again, like the "Tribute" concert for Gram Parsons, this is another outstanding tribute concert. This time to the late/great Stevie Ray Vaughan. All the stars in this tribute, show sincere respect for Stevie & his music. You get an outstanding "Allstar" line-up of blues musicians including Stevie's brother Jimmy Vaughan. I like the way this concert was presented. I wouldn't change a thing, its simply fantastic the way it is.
The concert is as follows: (You get Double Trouble - Chris Layton on drums, Tommy Shannon on bass, & Reese Wymans on keyboards along with the "Allstar" musicians):
1. Program Start
2. Bonnie Raitt - Pride & Joy
3. Jimmie Vaughan - Texas Flood
4. B.B.King - Telephone Song
5. Buddy Guy - Long Way From Home
6. Eric Clapton - Ain't Gone 'N Give Up on Love
7. Robert Cray - Love Struck Baby
8. Dr. John - Cold Shot
9.10.11. Jimmie Vaughan, Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Cray, B.B.King, Buddy Guy, Dr. John, Art Neville: Six Strings Down, Tick Tock, and SRV Shuffle.
12.End Credits.
This is simply outstanding and a "must-have" for any Stevie Ray Vaughan fan. It's great from beginning to end!!!! Thanks!!!!
Summary of A Tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan
TRIBUTE TO STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN - DVD MovieAlready a legend among musicians, Stevie Ray Vaughan was bringing new relevance and popularity to the blues when his career was cut short in a fatal helicopter accident following a 1990 concert appearance. His music offered the drama and sheer firepower of rock, and his flamboyant live shows likewise proved well suited to arena-sized crowds, yet there was little argument that Vaughan's fealty to the blues remained at the core of his style. This 1996 concert tribute underscores that common denominator through muscular performances from contemporary blues masters who readily (and appropriately) confirm the Texas guitarist as a true peer--it's no small matter that bona fide influences Buddy Guy and B.B. King cite the honoree on an equal plane with Vaughan's most obvious rock forebear, Jimi Hendrix.
King and Guy are among the stars who interpret Vaughan's own songbook in live performances backed by either his old band, Double Trouble, or the larger Tilt-a-Whirl Band. Bonnie Raitt, Eric Clapton, Robert Cray, Dr. John, and the late guitarslinger's big brother, Jimmie Vaughan (himself a major figure since his days with the Fabulous Thunderbirds) all pay gritty musical homage noteworthy for powerhouse guitar work. Whether clad in coveralls (Guy) or Armani (Clapton, of course), each reaches the same common ground in the soul-deep language of the blues; equally important, the choice of material points up Vaughan's sure sense of blues song form and a penchant for tough, frequently witty lyrics that fit snugly into blues traditions. The 80-minute concert also intersperses brief interviews with the principals, with the music building toward a satisfying climax in three high-octane jams featuring the headliners in lively exchanges. The DVD optimizes the full-frame visuals of the original videotaped special, and the 5.1 audio mix likewise fine-tunes the straightforward stereo mix with some added ambience. --Sam Sutherland
