Why this recording

Posted by the Megève Blues Festival on its own channel, the video covers 1 h 34 of concert and credits its direction and technical resources to Carpediem Évènement: a festival production made for broadcast, not an isolated clip. The festival presents it as a rare French date for the former founding member of the Fabulous Thunderbirds. The running time lets viewers follow a complete festival set, with the horn section backing the guitarist, rather than a handful of songs.

Live concert film of Jimmie Vaughan at the Megève Blues Festival 2025 in the Haute-Savoie region of France. A Texas guitarist and the older brother of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmie Vaughan has been a figure of electric blues since the 1970s, first with the Fabulous Thunderbirds and later as a solo artist. This recording captures him on the festival’s main stage; the 2025 edition took place on 1 and 2 August. Backed notably by a horn section, he delivers Texas blues shaped by a pared-down guitar style, an economical phrasing and a repertoire rooted in shuffle, swing and early rhythm and blues. The live concert reflects a career built on loyalty to a vintage sound rather than technical display. This live video documents the French appearance of one of the last direct representatives of the Texas blues school. Megève, 2025: a full concert for fans of electric blues and traditional guitar, filmed at a mountain festival that has become a notable stop for the genre in France.
