Johnny Winter - Live through the '70s - DVDBlues artist Johnny Winter is a familiar name to anybody that
appreciates slash-and-burn guitar, and Winter aficionados seem to be
equally split between the musician's 1970s-era blues-n-roots-rock
material on Blue Sky Records, and his later houserockin' recordings for
the Alligator and Point Blank labels during the 1980s and '90s. Fans of
the former will rejoice because our friends at
Music Video Distributors have released Winter's Live Through The '70s DVD.
Live Through The '70s collects official archival video of a
number of classic Winter performances from disparate sources, such as a
1970 appearance on Danish TV and a Royal Albert Hall performance in
London that same year. The 111-minute DVD also includes a 1973
broadcast of Winter from Don Kirshner's Rock Concert; a 1974 Winter
performance from the Blues Summit in Chicago; a 1974 performance at
Musikladen in Bremen, Germany; and a 1979 appearance on Rockpalast in
Germany. Among the songs captured on tape are Winter faves like "Johnny
B. Goode," "Rock & Roll Hootchie Koo," and "Mean Town Blues."
Johnny Winter's Live Through The '70s features gorgeous 5.1
surround sound, and mixed throughout the various video clips is
interview footage of the talented guitarist filmed in 1970 at the
Detroit Tubeworks. Live Through The '70s deserves a place
next to the television for any Johnny Winter fan, or even for those
that appreciate lively and electric blues-rock guitar. from the Rev. Keith Gordon's blues blog
