Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello not only starred in the delightfully "retro" Back to the Beach, but also served as executive producers. Appropriately set 25 years after such drive-in faves as Beach Blanket Bingo, the film finds Frankie and Annette as husband and wife, living far from the surf 'n' sand in Ohio. Heading to California to visit their daughter Lori Loughlin, Frankie and Annette are appalled to learn that she has been keeping time with punker Tommy Hinkley. In time-honored fashion, our hero and heroine set about to make the beach safe for funlovers everywhere by driving out Hinkley's unsavory pals. Along the way, Frankie nearly bollixes up his marriage by dallying with Connie Stevens-one of several pop-culture icons appearing in Back to the Beach, including Don Adams, Bob Denver, Jerry Mathers, Tony Dow, Dick Dale & the Del-Tones , Stevie Ray Vaughan, and even Pee-wee Herman! Back to the Beach is fun for a while, but its six-person writing team can't figure out a logical way to wind it all up. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Blues-rock guitar hero Stevie Ray Vaughan made two appearances on the acclaimed PBS music showcase Austin City Limits before his tragic death in 1990, and this video collects highlights from each show. His 1983 appearance coincided with the release of his debut album, Texas Flood, and captures him in tough, rough-and-ready form. A later set from 1989, after Vaughan had kicked a life-threatening drug and alcohol habit, finds him in more studied and mature form, but sounding no less skillful or passionate. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

The premise of MTV's popular Unplugged series is to strip away the layering of high-end quality production of a popular song, pare it down to its essential elements, and present an acoustical of that song performed by the artist. On this video some of MTV's finest memories are collected for this video album, including Eric Clapton's "Before You Accuse Me," "When the Night Comes" by Joe Cocker, Sheryl Crow's "Leaving Las Vegas," "Pride and Joy" and "Life Without You" performed by the legendary Stevie Ray Vaughan, "Midnight Rider" by the Allman Brothers Band, John Mellencamp's "Small Town," Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game," "Closer to Fine" by Indigo Girls, and Seal's performance of "Prayer for the Dying." ~ Forrest Spencer, All Movie Guide
The late Stevie Ray Vaughan, who led and championed the 1980s American blues resurgence, drew from a myriad of musical influences, from the soul of Muddy Waters to the acid rock of Jimi Hendrix; he arguably attained even more widespread popularity in posthumous years (Vaughan died in a helicopter crash at 35 in 1990) than during his brief lifetime. Certainly, Vaughan now justifiably claims vast numbers of rabid fans. The blues-rocker appears on stage in the home video issue Most Famous Hits - Stevie Ray Vaughan Live, demonstrating the depth and breadth of his appeal. Vaughan interprets nine selections here: "Texas Flood," "Voodoo Chile," "Pride and Joy," "The House is Rocking," "You Better Leave My Gal Alone," "Cold Shot," "Crossfire," "Tightrope" and "Tex Mex Blues." ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
