Johnny Winter And Live on reissue vinyl. Man do I miss seeing Johnny live.
Some of my favorite concerts were seeing Johnny live - first time was '79 at the Santa Monica Civic front row center, and by then had listened to Captured Live and the And Live album so many times they were was embedded in my soul. Saw him many times after that all in small venues - theaters and clubs. Last time I saw him though around '95 was a bit sad - he was in the depths of some really bad times - he could barely walk let alone stand. Glad he was able to get somewhat healthy and make a comeback, but never saw him during those latter years. He died on my birthday when I was up in the country for a week long getaway with friends and family. We played Johnny music all night on youtube via the laptop, and drank a shit load of beer with friends reminiscing about all the good times and great music.
This one always hits home....Life is Hard from 1991 - w/Dr. John on piano.
"Everybody got their own cross to bear
Black or white, rich or poor
You know the blues is everywhere
Just keep reaching for the sky
Life is hard and then you die..."
