A nice montage of Stevie on his best behavior, in his best borrowed suit.

Far as I can tell this is March of 1983 at the Austin Chronicle Music Awards. Stevie & pals won Band of the Year, Musician of the Year, Best Electric Guitarist, Best Texas LP and Best Blues Band along with high placements in five other awards categories. Worth dressing up for.

Not even embarrassed, Forensic Files is my guilty pleasure💖
