Well some of us remember Johnny Winter when he came out as a "bonus baby" (one of the highest paid artists at the time- not really appropriate for a "bluesman") on his initial Columbia Records debut. This record was fantastic, but it was at the end of the "blues boom" of the 1960s. Winter went on to record some great things but got stuck between blues, rock and so on. We guitarists all loved him with his fingerpick style and soulful speed- across between Freddie King and B.B., with a great growling voice- not like Bob Hite and other "white" blues singers at the time.
This DVD is really the best released so far. I have waited two months to write a proper review of it. Winter has had several Japanese releases (bootleg) with some of these tunes on it, but they are not as good. The sound on this DVD makes it very special. If you only have one Johnny Winter DVD this should be it. A few years ago they released "Pieces and Bits" which, like this was a compilation of VHS released ... Read More

I'm a long time Johnny Winter fan. Seen him twice in the mid 70's about 6 times in the 80's. Have all his music. This DVD looks pretty cool but...The footage I've been searching for is from The Midnight Special '73. He did Silver Train and Rock & Roll with the best lineup IMO, Randy Jo Hobbs on bass and Richard Hughes on drums. Where is it??? Does anyone know??

This DVD is a treat. It's generally great compared to the few other Johnny Winter DVDs I've seen. Considering Johnny's been performing for 40 years it's unfortunate there aren't more of his shows captured.
Not all tracks on this DVD are of equal quality - the Albert Hall concert is an electric performance but the footage is rough. The source video on some of the later German concerts seems to have slightly deteriorated in spots but it doesn't detract noticeably from his performances.
The earlier Danish footage is extraordinarily sharp for its age - with great sound - surprisingly enjoyable to watch. The interviews are spontaneous, whimsical, humorous, even a bit ominous - and provide a rare glimpse into the personality of the man behind the searing blues riffs. Winter's performances of 'Be Careful With a Fool' and 'Fast Life Rider' are mesmerizing (These songs are listed on the DVD as 'Be Careful Of The Fool' and 'Drop the Bomb'), as is the German production ...

I'm writing this review to give potential buyers a pause in the face of the 5 star reviews that got me clicking the order now button. I am a big fan of Johnny Winter. I've owned many albums and seen him play in a couple clubs years ago in Houston. This dvd has its moments: highlights include Be Careful with a Fool, Mean Town Blues, Stone County, Walking By Myself. Lowlights inferior video quality and an on going interview with a stoned questioner discussing how rock n roll is going wrong and wouldn't it be great to levitate while playing. The price is not bad but I don't see myself jumping through the low points to view this again. Well maybe for Be Careful with a Fool.

Johnny Winters in the 1970's was one of the greatest guitar players around. This album demonstrates how great he was.
