[edit] Details

Johnny Winter played an electrifying 65 minute set of his signature electric blues highlighted by slide guitar. "Mean Town Blues" is a flawless, original, yet somewhat boogie oriented Blues song that can be also found on his albums.

"I Can't Stand It", "Tobacco Road" and "Tell The Truth" are performed with Johnny Winter's brother Edgar on keyboards, alto sax and vocals. Edgar sings lead on "Tobacco Road". The other songs were performed by the trio around Johnny Winter. They played the Chuck Berry classic "Johnny B. Goode" as the encore.

[edit] Availability
