  | JOHNNY WINTER ~ AND LIVE
COLUMBIA 469028 (Barcode: 5099746902827) ~ USA ~ Blues-Rock
Recorded: 1971 Released: 1997
4th album and a natural follow up to its predecessor, the studio album with Winter’s group And. Recorded during two concerts (Fillmore East in NY and Pirate’s World in Florida) this is one of rock’s greatest live albums with levels of energy and superb performances rarely captured on record. Winter and Derringer exchange guitar licks and vocals and the rhythm section drives the show like there’s no tomorrow. Just listen to their version of Jumpin’ Jack Flash, which makes the Stones sound like kindergarten kids, to understand the level of musicianship involved. Some other Rock And Roll classics get a similar treatment and of course a fair share of great blues numbers are included. This electrifying concert is a classic example of what rock sounded like at its peak and sounds every bit as good today as it did then. I hope the entire concerts get a release sometime in the future, but in the meantime this is not to be missed. Warmly recommended!

  | JOHNNY WINTER ~ AND LIVE AT THE FILLMORE EAST 10/3/70
COLLECTORS` CHOICE LIVE 6000 (Barcode: 617742600025) ~ USA ~ Blues-Rock
Recorded: 1970 Released: 2010
This album presents a previously unreleased live material by the legendary Blues-Rock genius guitarist Johnny WinterFind albums by this artist with his group, which featured Rick DerringerFind albums by this artist. Recorded shortly after the release of Winter´s third ColumbiaFind albums on this label album "AndFind albums with this title", this live concert includes a couple of numbers from the new album with the rest being drown from his two previous albums for the label. Although there is little new to be discovered here, the sheer virtuosity and raw energy displayed by Winter´s guitar playing and vocal delivery make it a good enough reason to listen to this music time after time and I´m sure that if anything else from that period will be discovered in the future, it will be sensational as well. Winter´s fans need no encouragement to grab this beauty instantly and those heretics still unfamiliar with his gospel should definitely jump on the wagon this time. They surely don´t make that kind of music these days, so get going! Brilliant stuff!
