==== Carnegie Hall ====
On October 4, 1984, Vaughan headlined a performance at [[Carnegie Hall]] that included many guest musicians.<ref name="Hopkins 2011 72">{{harvnb|Hopkins|2011|p=72}}</ref> For the second half of the concert, he added Jimmie as rhythm guitarist, drummer George Rains, keyboardist [[Dr. John]], [[Roomful of Blues]] horn section, and featured vocalist [[Angela Strehli]].<ref name="Patoski Crawford 177">{{harvnb|Patoski|Crawford|1993|p=177}}</ref>{{refn|group=nb|Originally, the Carnegie Hall lineup included keyboardist [[Booker T.

Introduced by Hammond as "one of the greatest guitar players of all time", Vaughan opened with "Scuttle Buttin'", wearing a custom-made [[mariachi]] suit he described as a "Mexican tuxedo".<ref>{{harvnb|Prial|2006|p=302}}: "one of the greatest guitar players of all time"; {{harvnb|Hopkins|2011|p=74}}: Carnegie Hall set list; {{harvnb|Rhodes October 11, 1984}}: "...&nbsp;wearing Mexican tuxedos&nbsp;..."</ref>{{refn|group=nb|Double Trouble wore mariachi-style suits fabricated by Nelda's Tailors in Austin.{{sfn|Aledort|2000|p=156}} They were made out of velvet and decorated with silver buttons, which were sewn by a tailor in [[Nuevo Laredo]].<ref name="Patoski Crawford 177" /> With Layton and Shannon in royal blue suits, Vaughan wore both a royal blue and ruby red suit, for each portion of the performance respectively.<ref>{{harvnb|Schwartz|1997}}: "...Chris and Tommy in royal blue, Stevie in ruby red.";{{harvnb|Hopkins|2011|p=75}}: "he wore the blue suit for one set and the red suit for the other set."</ref> An elaborate stage set was built from plywood, painted lapis blue enamel with metallic gold striping.{{sfn|Aledort|2000|p=156}}}} Double Trouble went on to perform renditions of the Isley Brothers' "[[Testify (The Isley Brothers song)|Testify]]", The Jimi Hendrix Experience's "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)", "Tin Pan Alley", [[Elmore James]]' "[[The Sky Is Crying (song)|The Sky Is Crying]]", and [[W. C. Clark]]'s "Cold Shot", along with four original compositions including "Love Struck Baby", "Honey Bee", "Couldn't Stand the Weather", and "Rude Mood". During the second half of the performance, Vaughan performed covers by Larry Davis, Buddy Guy, Guitar Slim, Albert King, [[Jackie Wilson]], and Albert Collins. The set ended with Vaughan performing solo renditions of "Lenny" and "Rude Mood".<ref>{{harvnb|Hopkins|2011|p=74}}</ref>

The ''Dallas Times-Herald'' wrote that the performance was "full of stomping feet and swaying bodies, kids in blue jeans hanging off the balconies, dancing bodies that clogged the aisles".{{sfn|Rhodes October 6, 1984}}{{refn|group=nb|According to Patoski and Crawford, some members of the audience were initially reserved during the performance, but a fan shouted, "Stand up. This isn't ''[[La traviata]]''."<ref name="Patoski Crawford 178" />}} ''The New York Times'' asserted that, despite the venue's "muddy" acoustics, the band's performance was "filled with verve", and Vaughan's playing was "handsomely displayed".<ref name="Carnegie Hall New York Times" /> Jimmie Vaughan later commented: "I was worried the crowd might be a little stiff. Turned out they're just like any other beer joint."<ref name="Rhodes 1984a" /> Vaughan commented: "We won't be limited to just the trio, although that doesn't mean we'll stop doing the trio. I'm planning on doing that too. I ain't gonna stay in one place. If I do, I'm stupid."<ref name="Rhodes 1984a" /> The performance was recorded, and in 1997 Epic Records released ''[[Live at Carnegie Hall (Stevie Ray Vaughan album)|Live at Carnegie Hall]]'', which was ultimately certified gold.<ref>{{harvnb|Hopkins|2011|pp=298, 305}}</ref>

After the concert, Vaughan attended a private party at a downtown club in New York, which was sponsored by [[MTV]], where he was greeted by an hour's worth of supporters.<ref>{{harvnb|Hopkins|2011|p=75}}: "After the show, MTV threw a private party for the band, record company and other VIPs."; {{harvnb|Patoski|Crawford|1993|p=178}}: "After the show MTV threw a party for him at a downtown club&nbsp;...

In late October 1984, the band toured Australia and New Zealand, which included one of their first appearances on Australian television—on ''[[Hey Hey It's Saturday]]''—where they performed "Texas Flood", and an interview on ''[[Sounds (Australian TV series)|Sounds]]''.<ref>{{harvnb|Hopkins|2011|pp=77–78}}</ref> On November 5 and 9, they played sold-out concerts at the [[Sydney Opera House]].<ref>{{harvnb|Hopkins|2011|p=78}} (primary source); {{harvnb|Patoski|Crawford|1993|p=180}} (secondary source)</ref> After returning to the U.S., Double Trouble went on a brief tour in California. Soon afterward, Vaughan and Lenny went to the island of [[Saint Croix]], part of the [[U.S. Virgin Islands]], where they had spent some time vacationing in December.<ref>{{harvnb|Hopkins|2011|pp=81, 83}}</ref> The next month, Double Trouble flew to Japan, where they appeared for five performances, including at [[Orix Theater|Kōsei Nenkin Kaikan]] in [[Osaka]].<ref>{{harvnb|Hopkins|2011|pp=85–88}}</ref>
