Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble concert chronology

The bands rehearsed at Prince's Paisley Park Studios on October 23 and 24, before beginning the tour at the Northrup Auditorium on October 25, 1989. Both Vaughan and Beck were advertised as headliners and received equal billing for the tour. In order to ensure equal billing, Vaughan and Beck alternated headline spots. Vaughan's manager Alex Hodges commented: "We were very careful to have equal billing and everything done in a way that it would be hard to say anyone was taking advantage of the other."[3] Jeff Beck won a coin flip by lighting designer Andy Elias and was named the headline act for the opening show in Minneapolis.[4] During the final show on December 3 in Oakland, California, in which Jeff Beck was the opening act, Carlos Santana joined Stevie Ray Vaughan on stage while playing a borrowed Stratocaster.[5]
