Johnny Winter better than ever

Got home (six blocks away) and fired up my six figure system, which of course sounded like crap! 25 bucks to see Johnny from 15 feet away and center, was the bargain of a lifetime.

I have seen and heard and have almost everything Johnny Winter has ever done and sadly say he ain't got it no more. I guess I just got spoiled the way he used to rock&roll. Now it is just blues. Too slow. I'm a Bluesman is a great cd. I think he fell and broke a hip back in 2000, so that's why it's hard for him to get around. Can anyone play better than Johnny Winter? IMHO "F" NO! He's the greatest if you ask me. I'm glad you enjoyed the show. I last heard him Nov. 22 08 and will go any time to see him play.

I saw him less than a year ago and was shocked at his physical condition...he must be deaf too...he played so loud I couldn't even hear the drums! We left because the music was so over the top loud and distorted....big disappointment.

HDtracks had a high resolution sampler download with one of his recent (I think )songs. It was pretty good!

I hope nobody thinks I was slamming Johnny Winter. Some places just do not sound good and I've even heard him tell the guy working the mixer that the music was too loud and got him to turn it down. It's just too bad he still doesn't play Chuck Berry and Rolling Stones songs live very often anymore. I saw him last month and for the 1st time in 1968, so I've also heard (live)the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Alvin Lee, all the Guitarists that played for Jim Dandy and Black Oak Arkansas, Eric Clapton and more. Johnny smokes em all! Go Johnny Go!
