Sounds like it could have been a DAT source. I hope the taper or someone with a low gen. source can post an upgrade, although this is quite good.

This show was not originally part of my effort to bring lesser-known, but high quality, SRV performances to Dime. However, after listening to the show again, I remember why it became on of my favorites, and I feel it does deserve a place in this series. For some reason, not that many great recordings have surfaced from Stevie's final tour. Many of these have cuts right in the middle of great versions of "Riviera Paradise," which was performed in the middle of the set during this tour. This show is complete.

The final tour found Stevie using a different backline of amps (he added a couple of Fender Bassman reissues) and a different amp tech. To my ears, these shows combine the fierce intensity of Stevies playing during the '89 tour with Jeff Beck and the relaxed, calm attitude of the great '88 shows. This band is clearly having a great time on this tour. These were fun shows.
This show has a setlist that varies just a little from the standard setlist for these shows with Joe Cocker. "Goin' Down" is not played, but in its place is a rare '90 rendition of "Say What." Usually a set opener, here it is the closer before the encores. "Riviera Paradise" is beautifully played and "Voodoo Chile (slight return)" burns. The rest of the set is very solid, making this a fine addition to any SRV collection. I'll be posting more from 1990, but IMHO, this is one to have. I really hope to scare up an upgrade!
