5.0 out of 5 stars A really underappreciated musician., August 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Captured Live (Audio CD)

This album must be THE ultimate bargain...Johnny Winter is as good as it gets, sort of Jimi Hendrix meets Eric Clapton. And this album is as good as HE gets. And his bandmates are of equal caliber (as Clapton's and Hendrix's were.) Good players don't overshadow each other; they help each other sound better. Folks today say, "Johnny Who?", while they listen to clone bands and prepackaged groups that neither write music nor play instruments. Winter deserves to be remembered as much as any great musician from the 60's and early 70's era. He deserves a biography on "Behind the Music" on VH-1. Pass the word around. He's the best-kept secret in music. Remember, this is a LIVE album, with flesh-and-blood musicians actually playing instruments, not computer-generated, synthesized sounds repeated every eight bars. This deserves 50 stars. Try it; you won't be disappointed. He has a lot of other good albums out, too, including a couple of other live ones.

Just listend to this the other day! My God! What a great band! Saw Johnny live at Anaheim stadium on this tour. All copy songs! But,done like no one else can do 'em! As all the other reviewers state."Floyd Radford just smokes on the other guitar,not second guitar!" Johnny must have wanted a great rock band. Not just be a show off,himself! I'm always hearing about Johnny down playing his rock side. Trying to prove his true love for the blues! You want the blues? No problem! Side two is full of the most blistering blues this side of... If you can get STILL ALIVE AND WELL from 1973,And SAINTS&SINNERS also JOHN DAWSON WINTER III.from 1974. Then my friend you will have one of the greatest rock&roll collections of all time! But! CAPTURED LIVE!IS ONE MEAN MOTHER F#@CKER! Crank it up for all it's worth! 10 stars for Johnny!

4.0 out of 5 stars Some great rock and roll guitar!, June 11, 1999

By A Customer

This is not a very well known album, but it really showcases Johny Winter's talent. This was Johnny at his electric best. An added treat is Floyd Radford on second guitar. Floyd really blazes on Bony Morony. I had the chance to see this particular Johhny Winter band back in 1975 and they blew the house down. This album captures most of that spirit.
