Wow, it's been 3 years since I first suggested Johnny Winter And Live on this thread, and I see it's still meeting agreement with some. How I failed to include Jimi Hendrix Band of Gypsys is beyond me, absolutely great. And I would think by now, Jimi's set at Maui for the Rainbow Bridge movie is out officially. The live uncut version of Hey Baby/Land Of The New Rising Sun is great! 35 years later I still miss what Jimi was giving us. A bunch have tried, but no one has matched Jimi when he was into it. As for Johnny, most don't recognise Progressive Blues Experiment as a live album, but it was actually recorded live on stage at the Vulcan Gas Company, with no audience. For a small Texas label called Sonobeat, which pressed a hundred or so copies in 1968 before being sold to Liberty Records in 1969. The new remaster on Capitol (CD) is excellent, and far superior to previous releases by numerous labels. I highly reccomend this remaster to anyone who likes Johnny. Tom trich727
Best live album you've ever heard?
This is certainly inspired by the album that is kickin' it very LOUD here. I have many many live albums by every one from A-Z, but NONE come close to this one except Johnny Winter And Live, or the Allman Brothers Live at Fillmore East. The Stones' Get Your Ya Ya's Out has to be the best live rock'n'roll album ever. God bless Mick Taylor. I live in a concrete block house, and it is still shakin'. If any of you know of a better live recording than these, please fill me in. Thanks, Tom
