Notes and Comments:
  • The 6/19/85 Red Rocks show is definately a good one to start with.
  • Highlight of the show is "Little Wing." This show was recorded when Stevie was in his heaviest drug-using days. In "Little Wing" it sounds like he is in so much pain and is calling out for help through his guitar. Very emotional.That track makes the CD worth buying alone. Voodoo is strong also.
  • There are moments where Stevie is superb, like "Little Wing."
  • I've only listened to "Stilleto" so far in my truck to & from work. I'm having a hard time taking it out to listen to the other one. I love this version of Texas Flood with the keyboards of Reese & the slower tempo. It is my favorite of the week.
