I have never thought of this show as rare, but apparently it isn’t as widely circulated as I thought, so here it is by request for SRVXFIRE.
Sound Quality: I’d give it a strong B for the era. The master would be a real nice sounding tape; please upload it if you have it (or a known low gen). The sound is a tad distant, but fairly balanced, although bass is low. However, there is some crowd noise during quiet sections; no real close conversations, but still some talking or clapping here and there.
Performance wise, Stevie turns in a solid show. This was somewhere around the release of “In Step.” As the show goes along, Stevie warms up. By CSW he is smokin’ pretty good. As usual, Voodoo does not disappoint!
Band:
Stevie Ray Vaughan – gtr, voc
Reese Wynans – keys

It is quite possible that there was a Riviera Paradise after voodoo, but I don’t have it if there was. The encore break was after Travis Walk.
