Description

Authentic and rare  Stevie Ray Vaughan Handbill from 1983.

The Texas Flood World Tour was a concert tour in North America and Western Europe, undertaken by American blues rock band Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble in 1983 and 1984. The band had released their debut album, Texas Flood, a week before the tour began.

The first leg of the tour took the band through the United States and Canada, and then on to Europe where they toured for two weeks. They then returned to North America where, during a leg that lasted more than three months, Vaughan and Double Trouble opened for Men at Work and The Moody Blues. The tour concluded in the Mid-Atlantic. The band returned to the studio in January 1984. The tour resumed the following month. The final leg incorporated return stops to several cities, and a visit to Hawaii, before the band returned home in late February.

The tour provided the band with widespread exposure and was a commercial success. Vaughn continued to tour in the ensuing seven years before his death in a helicopter crash in August 1990.

This Handbill is in clean condition with no creases.

These handbills were acquired from the Gina Zamparelli estate and are sold as is. They were created by Zamparelli for promotional and distribution purposes to promote concert events.

Gina was the first woman concert promoter to produce concerts in major venues with national-level artists in the United States. She sold out every concert in over a decade of shows in Los Angeles, helping to break in many bands and secure them record deals.

In many cases, they were produced on a low budget with no regard for perfection. They were haphazardly created just to promote the band with no quality control.

They have not been fabricated or re-printed by Visible Vibrations.

These Handbills are the real deal!
