The Live Alive Tour was the eighth worldwide concert tour by blues band Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble. Staged in support of the album Live Alive, the tour visited arenas and amphitheaters from 1986 through 1989. The tour had four legs and 149 shows, beginning in Towson, Maryland on November 22, 1986 and ending in San Diego on April 20, 1989, being the longest tour that the band has ever did. The first three legs alternated between the United States and Canada, before the next leg visited Europe. After the first leg of the tour took place in indoor arenas, the final three legs visited more outdoor amphitheaters. The band's 1989 album In Step was recorded during a break in the tour, expanding on many songs that were played during the latter part of 1988.

Famous quotes containing the words live, alive and/or tour:
“I live for those who love me,
Whose hearts are kind and true;
For the Heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit too;
For all human ties that bind me,
For the task by God assigned me,
For the bright hopes yet to find me,
And the good that I can do.”
—George Linnaeus Banks (1821–1881)
“For man, the vast marvel is to be alive. For man, as for flower and beast and bird, the supreme triumph is to be most vividly, most perfectly alive. Whatever the unborn may know, they cannot know the beauty, the marvel of being alive in the flesh. The dead may look after the afterwards. But the magnificent here and now of life in the flesh is ours, and ours alone, and ours only for a time.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Do you know I believe that [William Jennings] Bryan will force his nomination on the Democrats again. I believe he will either do this by advocating Prohibition, or else he will run on a Prohibition platform independent of the Democrats. But you will see that the year before the election he will organize a mammoth lecture tour and will make Prohibition the leading note of every address.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
