Amazon.com essential video
Few guitarists ever mastered the Fender Stratocaster like the late, great Texas bluesman Stevie Ray Vaughan, and this priceless digital video disc collects both of the sizzling appearances that Vaughan and his solid band, Double Trouble, made on the PBS concert series Austin City Limits. Combined to form the most popular program in the show's distinguished history, the concerts were taped in 1983 and 1989; both provide a valuable portrait of Vaughan's astounding artistic development. The performances serve as bookends to Vaughan's brilliant career with Double Trouble, showing (in the words of producer Terry Lickona) a striking contrast between "zero self-confidence" and "pure magic," but in both cases you can see a master at work. Songs include "Pride and Joy," "Texas Flood," "Voodoo Chile," "Cold Shot," and "Riviera Paradise." This great-sounding DVD also includes the posthumous music video "Little Wing," featuring clips of Double Trouble and archival footage of blues greats from the 1920s to the mid-1990s. If you're even a part-time blues fan, Stevie Ray Vaughan: Live from Austin, Texas is a must-have disc. --Jeff Shannon

I have owned the VHS version and played it till it just won't play. I'm not the only one, I'm sure. Like most, I bought the DVD as soon as it was released and it has seen better days as well. I won't bore you with what you already know. I want to know why the powers that be have yet to release the first show from start to finish, regardless of what they may think of the quality of the performance? As we know, the remaining songs from the second show do appear on the dvd from the boxed set. Would it be too much to ask to have the entire show from '89 on one dvd and in chronilogical order? Honestly, think of the money that would be made for whomever owns the rights.
When will we see the whole show from the In Session program with Albert? I live in London,Ontario, which is a stones throw from Hamilton, where the show originated from and I am sure I recall seeing Johnny Winter and Dr. John perform on this show as well.
It would be great to see SRV and Albert full blown on DVD.
Turn It Up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stevie Ray Vaughan live at Austin Texas December 29, 2007
B. Watret (Woodhal Spa. LINCS. UK)
This DVD is not as long as the one done from El Mocambo in Canada,but is does show what a great breadth he has. I think he takes "Vodoo Chile'" to a different level, and the entire DVD shows him doing what he does best, making realy good music!
Great Guitar Playing on a MUST HAVE DVD for Any Fans of SRV (yet incomplete shows)! December 28, 2007

STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN AND DOUBLE TROUBLE: LIVE FROM AUSTIN, TEXAS is a great DVD to have, despite the fact that these two concerts are not presented in their entirety. But this is still Stevie Ray Vaughan playing live for nearly an hour, so it deserves a 5 star rating, and hopefully they will someday soon release both the 1983 and 1989 concerts with ALL the songs included.
This DVD is actually a DVD of an episode of the PBS live music show AUSTIN CITY LIMITS, which itself was a compilation of the two previous concert performance episodes.
First up, you get three songs, 20 minutes, of their 1983 appearance, in the era of promoting their debut album, and during their hungry, hard partying years.
The last 35 minutes are from their 1989 appearance, when they were very successfully established in their musical career, and sober for years.
There are at least 5 missing songs from this 1989 appearance which are currently only available in the STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN CD/DVD box set. If you compare this DVD to the 5 songs in the box set, I think this DVD has the more professional and polished performances, while the box set shows 30 minutes of slightly more aggressive and wilder guitar playing, yet a bit more sloppy, (for instance, Stevie breaks a string during a guitar lead and has to change guitars without stopping the song). I prefer the box set songs, but I would still tell anybody to buy this LIVE FROM AUSTIN, TEXAS DVD! Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble
Hopefully, one day soon they will perhaps release the entire concert performance of both shows, maybe on a double DVD set, or separately. Until then, I will at least have this one to enjoy, and since it is Stevie Ray Vaughan live, it is always fun to watch and listen to, regardless of the missing songs!
I would also recommend that you get LIVE AT THE EL MOCAMBO, and LIVE AT MONTREUX DVDs, which are probably better than LIVE FROM AUSTIN, but they are all great, of course. EL MOCAMBO is a bit wilder and the most like a smokey blues club of any of these live DVDs; while MONTREUX is the most historical, showing the complete show that got Stevie Ray Vaughan discovered, and a great show a few years later after they had been popular and successful for a few years.
