Legendary rocker and bluesman Stevie Ray Vaughan performs with the band Double Trouble in two influential shows, in 1982 and again in 1985, at the Montreux Rock Festival. Concert footage is mixed with a documentary on Vaughan. Catch Vaughan performing such tunes as "Hide Away," "Rude Mood," "Pride and Joy," "Love Struck Baby," "Dirty Pool," "Give Me Back My Wig," "Ain't Gone 'n' Give Up on Love" and "Collins Shuffle."
Acting
Vaughan's raw physicality — guitar as exorcism, not instrument.
Direction
Smartly juxtaposes disastrous '82 reception with triumphant '85 return.
Sound
That tone. You know the one. Strat straight into Dumble amp, no mercy.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The infamous 1982 set nearly ended Vaughan's career before it started — Jackson Browne was among the few who stayed, then offered him free studio time to record 'Texas Flood.'
This documentary essentially canonized the '82 performance as misunderstood genius rather than failure — reshaping how we judge artistic risk in real-time.
