Live at Montreux 1982 & 1985 is a live album by Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble, released in 2001. It includes two complete sets from the Montreux Jazz Festival, recorded in 1982 and 1985. Stevie Ray Vaughan’s performance at Montreux in 1982 was one of the most defining moments of his career. At the time, he was an unknown Texas blues guitarist trying to make a name for himself. However, the audience, which was expecting a more traditional jazz or fusion act, was not very receptive - many even booed the band during the set. Despite this, David Bowie and Jackson Browne were in the audience and were impressed by Vaughan’s playing. This led Vaughan to play guitar on Bowie’s album Let's Dance and to a recording opportunity with Browne, which helped launch his career. In 1985, Stevie Ray Vaughan was a blues-rock superstar, and his return to Montreux sparked a completely different reaction: this time, he was celebrated and greeted with standing ovations.
