Hello All!
Залит Johnny_Winter/(1974)_San_Diego_(FM_Broadcast_300374)
Добавлен в коллекцию ещё один диск Джонни Винтера и... - концерт в Сан Диего, Калифорнии. Диск несколько непонятный - мало того, что полу-пиратский, к нему ещё добиты 4 вещи бонусов - две с ББС и две с Филмор Иста.
Так или иначе, Джонни в хорошей форме, состав сильный, вещи - его классика.
Но всё же его Captured Live нравится мне больше.

10 FACTS YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT JOHNNY WINTER:
Johnny Winter's incredible career yielded some great music over four decades. But how much do you really know about the guitarist, who died in 2014? We dug deep to uncover a number of facts that you might not know about one of the most respected guitar players of all-time.
As you'll see, Winter lived quite an amazing life and overcame many challenges in order to sustain a long career and earn himself a spot in any serious conversation about the greatest blues-rock guitarists in history. So let's get to know him a little better with 10 Facts You Probably Didn't Know About Johnny Winter:
Used the same piece of plumbing pipe as a slide for his entire career.
Winter is widely recognized as being one of the greatest slide guitar players of all-time. And while many guitarists utilize odd items to run up and down their fretboards - Duane Allman of the Allman Brothers Band famously used old Coricidin glass pill bottles - Winter's choice was similarly unique. 'I used to play slide before this, but could never find a good slide,' he told Tom Guerra. 'I'd use everything from a wristwatch crystal to broken-off test tubes to lipstick cases, bottles ... I tried everything, but nothing would work, until I found this conduit pipe, and I've used the same piece of pipe for 30 years for both acoustic and electric slide. Its just a piece of plumber's pipe that just fits my finger real good.'
Smashed Led Zeppelin's record for largest advance from a record label.
In 1968, Jimmy Page's blues-rock outfit Led Zeppelin inked a contract with Atlantic Records for a then-record advance of $200,000. As they say, however, records are meant to be broken and just one year later, Winter obliterated the old mark when he inked a deal with Columbia to the tune of $600,000.
Once sued DC Comics for defamation.
While his contributions to the world of music cannot be downplayed, Winter also inadvertently made a significant contribution to the world of comic books. In 1996, Johnny and his brother Edgar Winter sued DC Comics for defamation after an issue of Jonah Hex: Riders of the Worm and Such featured two worm-like villains named Johnny and Edgar Autumn. The Supreme Court of California ultimately found that 'although the fictional characters Johnny and Edgar Autumn are less-than-subtle evocations of Johnny and Edgar Winter, the books do not depict plaintiffs literally,' and that, 'the characters and their portrayals do not greatly threaten plaintiffs' right of publicity.' It was a landmark case that, essentially, gave comics free reign to parody and lampoon figures in the public eye.
On just his second album, Winter had the guts to fire a legendary rock producer.
Producer/engineer Eddie Kramer has worked with some of the biggest names in rock from Kiss to Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix to the Rolling Stones. One person who wasn't quite impressed with Kramer's pedigree was Winter, who was forced to fire the producer midway through recording his solo album, Second Winter. 'He wasn't doing his job,' Johnny said. 'He was outside the studio recording rainstorm sound effects. So we fired him midstream leaving me and Edgar to finish the job of producing and recording the album.'
Was one of the few artists to get paid for performing at Woodstock.
The Woodstock Music and Arts Festival might be one of the most notorious examples of money mismanagement in the history of rock, with many of the artists never seeing a cent from the promoters for their work. Johnny Winter proved to be an exception and received $3,750 for his time, but lost out on a bigger payday later due to a lack of forethought from his manager. 'Steve Paul didn't want us to be in the movie because he thought we wouldn't make any money,' he recalled in his biography. 'He thought it was gonna be a drag so he didn't want us to be on it. Of course it helped a lot of people's careers. I wish I could have been in it. Later on he admitted he f---ed up.'
Recorded with Jimi Hendrix
When Winter first arrived in New York City, he became a fixture at a club frequented by the rock elite called the Scene. One of those who would come around the club was Jimi Hendrix, who occasionally invited Winter to come down to the studio to jam a bit. 'He'd tape everything and listen to it the next day,' he remembered in his biography. 'I usually gave him the reins pretty much' I mostly played rhythm. But on the song we recorded, "The Things that I Used to Do," we traded off -- I played slide guitar and he played regular guitar. It came out real well. I believe that was the only song that was recorded. I played with him about 10 times maybe and thought he was the best guitar player around.'
Jammed with B.B. King at age 17
In 1962, while only 17 years old, Winter was beginning to make a name for himself around the Texas and Louisiana blues scene. One night, he and his brother Edgar went down to a club in Beaumont, Texas to catch B.B. King. After a bit of cajoling, the bluesman allowed Winter to come on stage to show off what he could do. 'He didn't know if I could play or not and I showed him,' Winter recalled to Jam Magazine. 'I got a standing ovation for it. It was the first time I had ever played the blues in front of a black audience. I, my brother and a couple of our band mates were the only whites in the audience.'
Intense anxiety hounded Winter throughout his life
Winter has been candid about his earlier struggles with anxiety through his life, but the issue really came to a head in 1990 at a tribute show for blues legend John Lee Hooker. 'I was feeling horrible for that show,' Winter recalled to Guitar World. 'I didn't think I was going to get through it. I just wanted to die, and I was thinking, Now I have to play? I really wanted to do the show, too, because of my love for John Lee Hooker, but I was feeling really horrible. And I have no idea why. I was just having terrible panic attacks. So that's when I started taking medication to deal with the anxiety, and it did help, but I took it for way too long.'
Almost single-handedly saved Muddy Waters' career
By the latter half of the '70s, not too many people really gave much thought to Chicago blues legend Muddy Waters. But Winters, who offered to produce a record for him in 1977, never forgot him. The ensuing album, Hard Again, was a critical and commercial hit, and Winter would work with Waters on two studio follow-ups and a live album. The pair grew so close that Winters was one of only a few people to appear at Waters' wedding to Marva Jean Brooks. Near the end of his life, Muddy would grow to think of the guitarist as a son.
Discovered the blues because of Hollywood
Around the age of 12 or so, Johnny went to a theater in San Antonio, Texas, to check out the Roaring Twenties mob period piece film. In his biography, Raisin' Cain: The Wild and Raucous Story of Johnny Winter, the guitarist recalled it as a defining moment in his life. 'I remember that movie making me want to be a musician, he said. 'It was real bluesy music with songs I could relate to, a lot of songs I had grown up singing. I didn't like Pete Kelly's part so much; the shootin' part of the movie didn't appeal to me. It was the music that got me.
The leaves hadn't even started turning red in Texas in late October 1969 when Beaumont-born bluesman Johnny Winter released Second Winter, arguably the pinnacle of his long and storied career.
Technically speaking, this was the guitar great's "third Winter," if you take into account 1968's Progressive Blues Experiment, which was released by Austin's tiny Sonobeat Records before Winter signed with the mighty Columbia -- a label so powerful, it evidently had no qualms about revising historical accounting.
Either way, the talented six-string phenom grasped this opportunity and let loose a powerful display of fret prowess across all three vinyl sides of Second Winter. As anyone with a prized original copy, or a long memory, can tell you, the album was released as a rare three-sided set, the product of an inspired Nashville recording session that yielded too much great material to be pared down into a regular two-sided LP but not quite enough for a four-sided double.
So, rather than short-change fans or themselves, Winter and his bandmates -- bassist Tommy Shannon (who later joined Stevie Ray Vaughan's Double Trouble), drummer Uncle John Turner and keyboard-and-sax-playing little brother Edgar -- released the bulk of the sessions and left side four blank.
Winter starts it all off by showing off his soulful voice on a cover of Percy Mayfield's "Memory Pain," before he surrenders the spotlight to Edgar's nimble keys on the self-penned "I'm Not Sure." It wraps with a strangling of his Gibson Firebird's neck on Dennis Collins' "The Good Love."
Side two, somewhat surprisingly, turns into an old-time '50s rock 'n' roll dance party, as Winter wails his way across classics like "Slippin' and Slidin"' and "Miss Ann" (both made famous by Little Richard), and Chuck Berry's ripping "Johnny B. Goode."
But the biggest surprise was saved for last: a reinvention of Bob Dylan's "Highway 61 Revisited" featuring a slide-guitar tour-de-force that would go down as a highlight of Winter's career.
Side three shifts the focus back to Winter's songwriting, including the amusingly contradictory "I Love Everybody" (another slide-swathed standout) and "I Hate Everybody" (a jazz-based departure) sandwiching the tongue-in-cheek "Hustled Down in Texas," and the experimental "Fast Life Rider."
Second Winter may be the late Winter's masterpiece. It made it to only No. 55 on the chart (both The Progressive Blues Experiment and 1969's self-titled debut charted higher). But he never sounded more assured and seasoned than he does here.

Johnny's live performance, San Diego 1974, captures the legend at the start of a transitional phase in his career. His career has its roots in blues rock but he spent much of the early and mid-seventies performing more rock and roll tracks. By '74, Winter is still primarily a rocker, but his tracks start to take on a bluesier feel, going back to the music that started his career. The six humble tracks here are representatives of his last few years of hard rock and roll. San Diego 1974 is obviously a concert supporting his Saints and Sinners album ("Stone County" and "Bad Luck Situation"), but he also throws in crowd pleasers such as "Johnny B. Goode" and "Jumping Jack Flash" (a practice he will abandon later that decade). With the exception of these two crowd favorites, casual fans of both classic rock and Johnny Winter will probably not recognize the other four tracks found here. However, do not be dismayed by this fact, Winter rocks the San Diego audience and with good reason.
Seventies or eighties Johnny Winter is hard to beat. Live seventies or eighties Johnny Winter is invincible. The guitar fireworks he puts on display is nothing short of jaw-dropping. His twelve plus minute rendition of "Silver Train" nearly quadruples the studio version found on Still Alive and Well in both length and enjoyability. I have to admit to not being an enormous fan of the studio version and I did have mixed opinions when first realizing that it was included in this live set, but the almost ten minutes of soloing more than make up for the mediocre melody of "Silver Train." About three minutes in, the band cuts back and lets Johnny tear it up. This is one of the better live solos from mid-seventies Winter that I have heard and features great slide work. "Bad Luck Situation" is great on Saints and Sinners and even better here. The energy of the show comes through the recording in a wave of power. All six tracks are strong and classic Winter.
If you enjoy guitar heavy rock and roll, it is on full display here with little interruptions. All five tracks are incredible and Winter's guitar playing just seems to flow out him. He will launch into a drawn out solo and pack it to the brim with blistering licks and fast slide. Despite not fulfilling my blues palette, the music here is incredible. I do prefer the versions of "Jumping Jack Flash" and "Johnny B. Goode" found on Johnny Winter And...Live a bit more, but the versions presented here are certainly not terrible. What really holds this album back is the sound quality. It is perhaps the worst sound quality of any Winter bootleg I have. The vocals are hit the worst. It is very difficult to understand Johnny at times and a balance mismatch buries his voice under the guitars and drums. I can't really say this is a must have bootleg because many will be frustrated by the quality of the recording. However, if you can stomach this for the sake of rock and roll, you will not be let down as Winter puts on a clinic.
