Its sometimes hard to understand record companies. Who is the customer that this is targeted for? If its for the SRV fans, we already have all the albums, so there is no need to add cuts from the studio albums we already have. If it is for the casual fan, the recording quality of some of the live cuts will scare some people away, since some of the live cuts have a bootleg quality that appeals basically to the SRV fans mainly. The packaging is beautiful, the box is really thick, they went the extra mile. The booklet is very well done also. The DVD is way too short, considering that you are being charged for it full price, it was not thrown as a bonus. It is very good, but it could have been better.

Bittersweet for those us who remember the nights at Antone's and his last concert in Austin, when we didn't know it would BE the last. I'll never forget the day we lost him, and think of him every time I go home to Austin. Stevie Ray lives in his music, and our memories. Rest in Peace, man.

The box set contains some excellent live tracks. This is highly recommended as a must. The DVD included could be longer and this is why I didn't give this box set 5 stars. Overall, you won't be disappointed.

For the price, this is a great set. 3 full CD's of music, a DVD, and the book is excellent, with a lot of tributes to the man.

this is the best box set theyve put out of srv and dt so far. i think its really great.theres many of his early versions of songs we all come to know and love so well. i had this box and it was my favorite by srv. and i really dont think they will ever get any better than mr vaughan. or release another as good as this one is the best box set ever made. the sad thing is it was stollen from my car. but i hope who ever has it has been enjoying it.
