In 1987, Stevie Ray Vaughan released the historic masterpiece “LIVE ALIVE” and was on a career-changing world tour. The classic video is now available as the best master.
This work was filmed at the “Nashville performance on September 6, 1987.” This is a multi-camera professional shot taken when Charlie Daniels appeared at the music festival “Volunteer Jam XIII”. At the time, they were in the middle of their “LIVE ALIVE Tour,” which was the biggest tour of their lives that lasted more than two years. This is also a good opportunity to look back at the overall picture and confirm the position of this work.

This is a panoramic view of “LIVE ALIVE Tour”. In fact, they also held the “SOUL TO SOUL Tour” of the same scale until October 1986, with a total of approximately 420 performances between the two tours. These were days filled with touring that could be called the pinnacle of my musical life. This performance of “Volunteer Jam XIII” was the 42nd performance of “North America #2”.
“Volunteer Jam” is a festival that can be said to be synonymous with Daniels, and especially in 1987, it was even broadcast on TV. In particular, Stevie’s stage has become a standard. It has been loved as “LIVE ALIVE that you can see with your eyes.” This work is also a standard video, but it is a DVD from the best master that is popular as “This is the best!” In fact, the quality is the best ever. There is an analog feel to the screen due to the era, but the freshness of the master is tremendous. There are not the slightest traces of VHS dubbing, nor is there any roughness, tape twisting, running unevenness, or color bleeding. Above all, the detail that remains beautifully down to the smallest details is amazing. The texture of her sweaty skin is visible right down to her pores, and her fingertips as she spins the soaring phrases are extremely clear. Even in the modern age of digital standards, the visual beauty is such that it can be used as an official product if it is in an archive box.
What is depicted in the highest quality is truly “LIVE ALIVE to see with your eyes.” If the members are the same, the set will be similar. Let’s compare and organize them here.
●Texas Hurricane (3 songs)
・Scuttle Buttin’ (★)／Cold Shot／Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)
●Soul to Soul (3 songs)
・Say What!／Look at Little Sister／Life Without You
●Others (3 songs)
・Mary Had A Little Lamb／Superstition
・Co-starring jam: Good Ole Gospel Ship (★)
*Note: Songs marked with “★” are not on the Daimyo album “LIVE ALIVE”.
…and it looks like this. Normally, I would like you to pay attention to the rare songs that are not even on the masterpieces, but the point of this work is the lack of “★” marks. Of the nine songs played, seven are reminiscent of “LIVE ALIVE”. What I am not used to seeing in such a situation is “Good Ole Gospel Ship”. This is not Stevie’s stage, this is the All Star Jam. It was a great collaboration with members of THE CHARLIE DANIELS BAND, the sponsor, and LYNYRD SKYNYRD, and Stevie also participated. Although Stevie is quiet and modest at first, he also performs a solid solo in the middle.
A superb video that looks like the artwork of “LIVE ALIVE” has come to life. This is a professional shot of Stevie’s great performance, which was in the midst of climax, erupting from the screen. Please take this opportunity to fully experience this work of the best master, an absolute must-see for your collection.
★Multi-camera pro shot of “September 6, 1987 Volunteer Jam XIII”. This is a standard TV broadcast pro shot and is a masterpiece that has been made into a DVD from the best master. There are no traces of VHS dubbing, the texture of sweaty skin is visible down to the pores, and the fingertips spinning the soaring phrases are extremely clear. Even in the modern age of digital standards, if you have an archive box, you can enjoy the scorching stage that is “LIVE ALIVE with your eyes” with visual beauty that can be passed as an official product.
