David Bowie with Stevie Ray Vaughan - The 1983 Rehearsal Broadcast (Limited 2 x Clear Vinyl LP) New & Sealed
In January 1983, David Bowie invited Stevie Ray Vaughan to record guitar for
six new tracks he’d written for his upcoming album, Let’s Dance. Vaughan’s
powerful and unique guitar work brought a fresh sound to Bowie’s music, most
famously on songs like ‘China Girl’ and the record’s title track. With the album a
success, Bowie was keen for Vaughan to join his group for the subsequent Serious
Moonlight Tour. However, with Vaughan reluctant to leave Double Trouble (who had
just finished recording their debut album, Texas Flood), David’s management offered
to let the group open the show on select tour dates. However, just four days before the
tour began, Bowie's team reneged, telling Vaughan’s manager, Chesley Millikin,that the
band would not be included and, furthermore, Vaughan wasn't allowed to talk about the
group or its new record in interviews. With the offer pulled, Milikin understandably took
Vaughan off the tour. And although both artists still achieved huge critical and commercial
success during the 1980s, what they might have gone on to do together remains one of
rock's great "What Ifs". No video footage of Bowie and Vaughan performing together is
known to exist. However, rehearsals for the tour, which took place at the Las Colinas
Soundstage in Dallas - Stevie Ray’s hometown - on 26th April 1983, were not only
recorded but broadcast on local radio too, thus allowing these legendary sessions to be
heard again today.
