Couldn't Stand the Weather Tour
The Couldn't Stand the Weather Tour was a worldwide concert tour by blues rock band Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble. Launched in support of their second album ''Couldn't Stand the Weather'', the band visited various indoor and outdoor venues from 1984 to 1985. To recreate the additional instrumentation that the group utilized on ''Couldn't Stand the Weather'', they featured guest musicians on select dates of the tour. Among several other shows on the tour, the band's performance at Carnegie Hall in New York deviated from their established power trio format. In contrast to Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble's basic stage setup from previous shows, the Carnegie Hall performance was an elaborately-staged concert event; it utilized custom tailored suits and an expanded stage set.
With eleven legs and 159 shows, the Couldn't Stand the Weather Tour began in Nashville, Tennessee on February 4, 1984 and ended in San Antonio, Texas on May 4, 1985. Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble visited North America and Europe during the first six legs before ultimately visiting Australasia and Japan. After performing in mostly smaller venues for the first two legs, the tour's production was expanded for larger venues during the second North American leg. Although the tour received a range of reactions from music critics, it was generally well-received. The band's 1985 album, ''Soul to Soul'', which expanded on the band's additional instrumentation ideas, was recorded during breaks in the tour, and its songs were played for the subsequent tour.
==Background==
Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble's 1983 album ''Texas Flood'' and the supporting Texas Flood Tour brought them to a new level of commercial and critical success. Consisting of three legs and 108 shows, it was the band's first tour as a full-time international act in Europe, and visited Germany for the first time. The group also visited venues throughout North America; they performed to a sold-out performance at The Palace in Hollywood and opened 29 shows for The Moody Blues. Alex Hodges, the band's agent, recalled The Moody Blues tour: Double Trouble bassist Tommy Shannon described the tour as "glorious", saying, "Our record hadn't become that successful yet, but we were playing in front of coliseums full of people. We just went out and played, and it fit like a glove. The sound rang through those big coliseums like a monster. People were going crazy, and they had no idea who we were!"
