The first edition of the 20 CDS are packaged in a Black Box with a brass plate on which there is a serial number (cat. no. is not on the CD or its case). This is a limited edition of 250 copies; each copy is numbered. Each disc is in a paper sleeve (of various colours), and the set includes two guitar picks. All shows are complete and uncut, and some even contain pre-show music and an announcement urging the audience to leave the hall after the show. All 20 CDS are top-quality DAT recordings worthy of a rating greater than 6 (unfortunately I can't count higher than 6).

Approximately one year later, it was reissued by Hoochie Coochie in another limited edition of 250 numbered copies in a silver box and silver cardboard sleeves. It has been treated to 24 bit remastering, and is superior to the original in sound quality, as hard as this is to believe. (R.B.)

Reportedly a soundboard taken from Japanese tv, but this is an audience recording and not a soundboard as previously indicated here. This is not the Stevie Ray Vaughan tribute show recorded on 11/05/95. Note that Texas Flood starts suddenly and Six Strings Down is the "jam" that is listed on the cover. The sound quality is reportedly better on "The Day After The Stevie Ray Vaughan Tribute" (R.B.)
