Johnny Winter better than ever

WOW! Got to see Johnny last night in a 500(!) seat house last night. His handlers sort of guided him in and assisted him off stage, but this guy has all the magic he ever had, if not more! Plays with his eyes closed, never looking at the frets! Used a pinky slide and a different axe for the encore and literally brought the house down! A show to remember!

I think I am the only one with enough energy left to tell the tale! Perhaps fearing the structural integrity of the house, he saved this barn-burner tune for last!

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 brought my custom ear plugs to shows since before my sister worked for Bill Graham Presents, and I saw a show a week in SF. Last night was LOUD at times but I only put the plugs in to tone down the audience screaming at the top of their lungs!
