Description

This performance from August 28th, 2003 features Johnny Winter playing an extraordinary show at the legendary B.B. King's Blues Club in Times Square, New York. Johnny still shows a twinkle in his eye and displays the brilliance of the blues; he clearly loves what he is doing and has no intention of stopping anytime soon. Backed by a smoking band, Johnny Winter still delivers the goods. And when he breaks out the bottleneck slide, the adoring crowd erupts - the room is electrified, and to the very last man it is very clear why Johnny Winter is a Living Legend. Band - Johnny Winter: Guitar, Vocals; Scott Spray: Bass, Vocals; James Montgomery: Harp, Vocals; Wayne June: Drums, Vocals.

terrible.......2006-12-22

I saw Johnny recently in concert. Although his health is not all that great and he walked stooped over and very slow there is nothing wrong with his fingers or his voice. This recording was obviously made when he wasnot feeling well and possibly heavily medicated. Other musicians had to carry the load for him. When I saw him he was with a bass player and drummer and Johnny carried himslf just fine. Don't buy this DVD. Go to his show instead. And "yes" he is still touring!!

Still Alive and Well.......2006-09-11

I am shocked by a few of the other reviews blasting one of the greatest blues guitarest ever, becasue he is old now and has had many health problams. I seen Johnny 9-10-06 at a blues fest, and it was sad to see that he was as crippled up as he is, broken hip, going blind,and quite frail, but he still played the hell out of that ol guitar, and his slide work is better than anyones out there. He is a Blues man so if you are looking for footage of his rock days, don't get this, Johnny was a rocker by default, his real core is that of a bluesman. to state that you should dispose of anyone because of age is crappy at best. Johnny still commands the stage and respect of a veteran bluesman. His newest alblum has been nomanated for a grammy. So those neg. reviews are way off the mark. I have been a fan of his for over 30 years now. He is one of the greatest blues guitarist ever, and can still play circles around most of the guys out there today. If you are looking for rock stuff of his don't by this dvd, but if you are a blues fan, you will really enjoy it. It is sad that he is as crippled up as he is, albino's do not usally fair well in the health area, but as a guitarist and a blues man, he is still a power to be recconded with

confusing.......2006-02-28

i can't understand how anyone who has johnny winters best interest at heart would release a concert that does not show johnny in a good light. his longtime health problems become more of a focus on this dvd than the music which is a shame.

OH NO!.......2006-02-13

I've just visited a friend of mine who told me he'd got this Johnny Winter DVD as a birthday present. Although having been a fan since 1969, when listening to Johnny B. Goode on German radio had blown me away, I had been reluctant to watch this one, due to the fact that in 2003 he hadn't appeared on a scheduled show in Ulm in Southern Germany, and the newspapers revealed he had "taken the money and run". But watching this DVD was one of the saddest experiences in my life. My anger had given way to indescribable pity. His catastrophic health situation made me feel awfully sad, nothing left anymore, his voice gone, his guitar playing on an amateur level, with a shaking right hand and knee. Who are those contemptible vultures making money out of this? If you're a Johnny Winter fan, don't watch this DVD, and certainly don't buy it! It will make you feel sick. Instead, watch his 1980 appearance on German Rockpalast and remember him as one of the greatest blues virtuosos ever. THIS DVD is completely superfluous!
