Editorial Reviews

Never-before-seen pix, new liner notes-and nothin' but the blues! That's blues of the Texas variety, live and electric as you hear Lights Out; Third Degree; Rock and Roll Hoochie Coo; You Keep Sayin' That You're Leavin'; Got to Find My Baby , and more ultra-rare Johnny Winter performances.

Having bought the previous 4 volumes and really enjoying them, I knew 5 was inevitable. As fan of Johnny's playing it's nasty, hot and energized. The band is in fine form, so from a fan and performance perspective it's a good purchase. The down side is the sound quality.
Not brutal but not as good as the first 4. It of course was a recording from who knows where on who knows what what but it was not professional or ment to be released. So a true "boot" it is.
But hot live Johnny makes you forget about the sound quality. Enjoy it for the performance.
So 3 stars comes from sound quality and what seems as short disc, but the cuts are extended jams. 3rd degree and New York New York Stand out.
Johnny once again is not redundant in song selection on the disc.

I challenge every band to put out a boot series as good as JW has. Most bands and record companies have completely missed the boat on this. If you love boots you'll love Vol 5 for all the same reasons. Great, great stuff....

This is a great series. Good recording quality and song selection. I have the entire series except volume 6, which came out recently, so I'll have that soon too. If you're a Johnny Winter fan you should get this series. He's incredible in live performances.
