The reason I bought this CD was for the 2nd CD. I have had the Texas Flood CD for many years and love it! About 2 years ago I came across a song from the 2nd CD "3rd Stone from the Sun" but could never find this recording anywhere. All I knew was that it was recorded live at Ripley's in Philly. I again came across this recording when this 30th anniversary edition came out. I love it! If you love SRV or the Blues, You have got to have this CD. It's outstanding! Enjoy it for years to come. I know I will
I wish I could give this a 5 star review. I really do. If I base this review on the music than I definitely would. Texas Flood is a bonerfied classic for sure, but the issue I have is with the bonus disc "Live At Ripley's Music Hall". This show is one of Stevie's best. And the recording is of amazing sound quality for a live show from 1983. The problem is- this is NOT the complete show. I have this show on cd in my music collection and it has 13 tracks- not the 9 included on the TF bonus disc. Missing from the disc are "Lenny", "Rude Mood", "Tell Me" and "Scuttle Buttin". Why include a live concert if you are not going to include the entire show?? I am so disappointed for the fans who are going to buy this and think that this short set is the entire show and miss out on the complete experience of hearing one of Stevie's best ever performances in its entirety.Read full review

So happy with this CD, he was a great guitarist, I only now have started to appreciate his music, as a bonus, the disc 2 is live from Philadelphia. 😀

outstanding tracks that still stand the test of time, not a dud to be found here...... .....the live disc is a lot better than expected though it takes a bout 4 songs for SRV & Double Trouble to really hit their groove and catch fire.....Texas Flood, Little Wing and Pride & Joy are especially 'hot' tracks on the live disc
SRV at his best
