I remember that Unplugged. Him and Satriani were lights out. My favorite video I have is of the Montreux festival trips in 82 and 85. Crowd boo'ed SRV the very first time he played there and he played his ass off. David Bowie came back stage and walked into the guys feeling sorry for themselves and said it was the greatest blues set he'd ever seen. I also enjoyed Live at El Mocambo but the Montreux fest really showed how he change from 82 to 85. We'll never know but perhaps he could have been the greatest blues guitarist ever, he was just beginning.

^That is some nice 12-string work & video^

Two of my (recently) favorite singles are Rivera Paradise & Telephone Song.
Riviera Paradise shows the softer touch to Vaughan s technique, And Telephone Song reveals (simply) good blues rock.

Never got anything from him other than Texas Flood which was pretty good. What other albums are good?

I had the pleasure of seeing Stevie play in Gainesville, FL back in the early/mid '80's. The guy was simply amazing. Great memories.
