- Synopsis:
By the Rummer of. 1982, Stevie Bay Vaughan was already a veteran of the-Southern blues circuit. Desperately searching for his big break, h.e was asked to play "Blues Night"-at the-annual Mo'ntre'ux Jazz Festival in Montreux, Switzerland. Playing like his life depended on it, Stevie put on a fiery performance-full of future SRV classics like "Pride And Joy" and "Love Struck Baby". The audience could have cared less. Every song Stevie played was greeted by an increasing wave of'boos and hisses and he left the stage bewildered and heart-broken. As fate would have it, this would be the most important single show Stevie ever played. In attendance at the festival were two figures who would prove instrumental in Stevie's subsequent rise to stardom: David Bowie and Jackson Browne. They immediately recognized Stevie's raw talent and limitless passion. As a result, Jackson Browne offered Stevie the opportunity to record (free of charge) at his own studio-the tapes that would be Texas Flood-Stevie's first studio album for Epic Records. In addition, Stevie was asked to play on Bowie's hugely successful Let's Dance album'and tour. - Actors:
