Blues artist Johnny Winter is a familiar name to anybody that appreciates slash-and-burn guitar, and Winter aficionados seem to be equally split between the musician's 1970s-era blues-n-roots-rock material on Blue Sky Records, and his later house-rockin' recordings for the Alligator and Point Blank labels during the 1980s and '90s. Fans of the former will rejoice when our friends at Music Video Distributors release Winter's Live Through The '70s DVD. Live Through The '70s collects official archival video of a number of classic Winter performances from disparate sources, such as a 1970 appearance on Danish TV and a Royal Albert Hall performance in London that same year. The 111-minute DVD also includes a 1973 broadcast of Winter from Don Kirshner's Rock Concert; a 1974 Winter performance from the Blues Summit in Chicago; a 1974 performance at Musikladen in Bremen, Germany; and a 1979 appearance on Rockpalast in Germany. Among the songs captured on tape are Winter faves like "Johnny B. Goode," "Rock & Roll Hootchie Koo," and "Mean Town Blues." Live Through The '70s deserves a place next to the television for any Johnny Winter fan, or even for those that appreciate lively and electric blues-rock guitar.
