Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble with "Look At Little Sister"
Description: Experience the infectious, driving boogie-woogie energy of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble as they deliver a blistering live rendition of the classic rhythm and blues rocker, "Look At Little Sister."
Captured live on September 21, 1985, at the historic Capitol Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey, this exhilarating concert footage highlights the band's incredible tightness and undeniable groove during their celebrated Soul to Soul tour.
The Performance
This 1985 stage appearance is a staggering masterclass in rhythmic precision and high-octane Texas blues. Stevie Ray Vaughan takes the Capitol Theatre stage with relentless energy, tearing through the song's bouncing, upbeat tempo with seemingly effortless fretboard agility. The performance perfectly captures Vaughan's ability to lock into a deep, swinging shuffle while still delivering his signature fiery, stinging guitar solos.
The rhythm section of Double Trouble provides a flawless, driving foundation. Drummer Chris Layton lays down a crisp, snapping backbeat, beautifully complemented by bassist Tommy Shannon's walking bass lines. The crucial addition of keyboardist Reese Wynans brings a fantastic new layer to the live mix, with his vibrant, rollicking piano work adding a rich texture that seamlessly supports Vaughan's rhythmic chops and soaring lead guitar.
About the Song: "Look At Little Sister"
Originally written by Hank Ballard and famously released by his group The Midnighters in 1959, "Look At Little Sister" is a joyous, upbeat rock and roll anthem. Stevie Ray Vaughan completely reinvigorated the track, recording his own electrifying version for the band's platinum-selling 1985 studio album, Soul to Soul.
Vaughan's interpretation pays homage to the classic, swinging feel of mid-century R&B while injecting it with a modern, high-energy Texas blues edge. It quickly became a vibrant, highly anticipated highlight of Double Trouble's mid-1980s live performances, perfectly demonstrating the newly expanded four-piece lineup's ability to lay down a traditional boogie just as hard as their heavy blues-rock.
