Johnny Winter: Live At Rockpalast
Label: MVD Audio
Year: 2011
Johnny had the look, had the chops and had charisma by default to make an audience feel like they were seeing and hearing the greatest thing they ever saw or heard. On 4-21-79 Live At Rockpalast (a German concert series where the organizers treated the performers with dignity and respect while paying them their worth), Johnny plays no original material instead opting to conduct a graduate level class on Blues Appreciation and rock n roll both past and present. A class so advanced and nuanced it’s doubtful many in attendance remember that The J Geils Band & Patti Smith opened the show.

I saw Johnny open for Robin Trower. It was a very memorable show.
