 Although Vaughan and Double Trouble did not follow a set list, all thirteen songs from "Live Alive" were performed at least once during the tour, and as many as eleven of them were included in each of the band's performances.The tour was generally well-received and provoked many positive reactions from music critics, most of whom took note of Vaughan's soberiety—in 1988, Rhys Williams of The Daily Tar Heel noted that "his enthusiasm seemed to reflect his cleaned-up image".He would continue this lifestyle in the following years, before his death in a helicopter accident in 1990.
