Live At Carnegie Hall was recorded on October 4, 1984 (one day after Stevie's thirtieth birthday). There are also guest appearances by John Hammond, Jimmie Vaughan, Dr. John, vocalist Angela Strehli (who sings an enthusiastic lead vocal on C.O.D.) and the Roomful Of Blues horn section.

The performance is an intimate blues celebration. At the end of the night, Stevie says, "Thank you very much for making this my best birthday ever...forever!".

The sound and production are clean and crisp; the performances are inspired (that's an understatement on some of the songs!). This is a fantastic version of Cold Shot, and Lenny is simply AMAZING. Things That I Used To Do and Dirty Pool are both jaw-dropping; Stevie at his blues-guitar best.

Pride And Joy and Iced Over both sound as good as ever and the horn section adds to the sound instead of hampering it, and it gives the songs new life.

More than just good blues, Live At Carnegie Hall is a warm and intimate documentary of a special night in the life of Sevie Ray Vaughan, his friends and family.
