This video and some other from this concert prove how homogenous and effective was this blues&roots combo in 1986. In comparison with todays' situation band this is, for me personally, much closer to the initial idea/legacy of the band. With exception of duo Fergusson/Christina, this is the most compact rhythm section T-Birds has ever had. No doubt. Not to mention Jimmie Vaughan's MARVELLOUS rhythm work which really propells this swamp rocker on its way. And ... check the audience. :D :D
Today it's 27th Aug. So let's not forget Stevie Ray. He was so proud of his Big Brother, Jimmie. Let's bow silently and say prayers for his soul. May he rest in peace.
This is a proper T-Bird Rhythm indeed. Tight drums/bass teaming of Prez (Preston Hubbard) and Frannie (Fran Christina), Jimmie's fret mastery and Kim "driving" the mean machine. Simple song and happy, enthusiastic crowds.

drums. bass. guitar .... any other t-birds lineup, except maybe the one with Duke and Kid on guitars, cannot even get close to. and the problem is the newer are pretty good but this one is stratospheric...

Yep people forget that the band was formed by Jimmie. He has a right to showcase his riffs whenever he wants to.

JLV tight rhythm guitar style is by far the best you can get, period.
Also his lead guitar style is beyond cool, just try to keep it simple, leave some air between the notes, less is more...

The JV rhythm machine. Wish he'd play with Fran some more.
