Stevie Ray Vaughan Pride in Joy video is finally coming to DVD.
In 2007, on the 25th anniversary of the debut of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble at the Montreux Jazz Festival in July 1982 - four short months before they began recording their first album for Epic Records - the sky is still crying over the loss of one of the world's most renowned young guitarists, just eight summers later, in August 1990.
Seeing was believing - and this was one band who was fortunate to come of age at the dawn of the MTV era, when film and video production became almost as important as studio recording. During the course of the '80s, promotional video clips, live performance films, and so-called EPKs (electronic press kits) became a cornerstone of every artist's discography. In 1990, after five RIAA platinum and multi-platinum albums, SRV&DT's whirlwind success was celebrated with Pride And Joy, a VHS collection that gathered six promo video clips and two live numbers, spanning 1983 to 1989.
Nearly two decades later, that collection has been updated, upgraded (to new Stereo and 5.1 surround-sound mixes), and expanded to more than twice its original length.
