Along with capturing one of the world’s greatest guitarists in concert, this German television show, shot more than 30 years ago, caught Johnny Winter at a crossroads in his life and career as he was making the transformation from rock icon to full-time bluesman. The song selection salutes the great bluesman who inspired Winter to pick up a guitar in the first place, and he plays them with style and passion: There aren’t too any guitarist who can stretch a song out for 17+ minutes, like he does playing Willie Bronw’s Mississippi Blues, and make it exciting from the first note to the last.
