Live Bootleg Series: Volume 6

Great!

Owning other discs from this series, I am expecting varying audio quality. I can live with that. Some of the sound on the bootlegs is quite good. (remember it's about the music!) While listening to Volume 6 for the first time, I had this anticipation of what the song "It's my own fault" would be like. It is absolutely one of Johnny's signature cuts. I could not wait to reach the end of the disc (last cut) to hear it. Cut to the chase: The cut floored me......wow. Devastating riffs!! Falling off your chair quality riffs! The sound on the cut was like a 1930's movie theater. Awful. Too bad. I hope Johnny's archivists dig up another version of this cut. The rest of the disc is good enough. The playing makes you forget about it very quickly. To me "Blackjack" and "She likes to boogie real low" are other stand outs on this disc. Based on the playing...buy it. I have bought 1/2 of the bootlegs already to check 'em out and l will buy them all. Johnny Winter, please R.I.P.

This is probably my favorite Johnny Winter CD that I own. Every song on this album is great. The guitar playing is so amazing and soulful.I remember seeing Johnny Winter in 2003 live and he played a version of "She Likes To Boogie Real Low" with no vocals. I did not know what the song was called but I remembered the way the swing-guitar lick sounded. I had spent seven years, and several albums, trying to find out what song this was. Sure enough, when I listened to this CD and heard the lick on there, it was the greatest thing ever, as a fan. Thanks to Johnny for putting this out and helping me find one of my favorite songs ever.

If you're anything like me, I've absolutely enjoyed every single one of the Johnny Winter Bootleg series CDs so far, from volumes 1 through 5. In fact, my ears are still smokin' from Volume 5, from it's slo-burn blues opener, through "Rock & Roll Hootchie Koo!"I'm happy to say volume six does not disappoint nor let up - I'm groovin' on this right now (after hours in my office on the BOSE Wave radio,) and am so very glad that Mr. Winter preserved and is putting out the REAL DEAL! BUY IT!!!!

Love you JW

great cd

very good one

The Live Bootleg Series show Johnny Winter at his best: Live!This is already part 6 and hopefully not his last, although the sound quality isn't getting much better than the one before.Nevertheless a must for the Winter fans.

Performance, Ambiance, Génie du décidément très grand Johnny Winter, dommage que l'enregistrement pour le bonus It's My Own Fault soit si saturé !

Surely one of the best guitarist of his generation. It has the "Mojo" in him.The blues are sharp and hyper-musical. The high class. This is an indispensable series in a fan of blues discotheque.

前作Vol.5は非常に残念な内容でこのシリーズもネタ切れかと諦めたが、どうしてどうして本作は勢いのある演奏を聴かせてくれた。ベースはJeff Ganz、ドラムがTom Comptonなので92年の「hey,where's your brother？」に合わせたツァー音源だろう。同一メンバーでの「Live in NYC '97」よりもジョニーが元気なので、推測ですが92〜93年頃の音源と思われます。曲目は以下、１．Introduction（アナウンス）２．Sen-Sa-Shun３．Johnny Guitar４．Blackjack５．She Likes To Boogie Real Low６．White Line Blues７．It's My Own Fault (Bonus Track)となっています。別音源のボーナストラックは１５分近くの熱演ですがベースソロもドラムソロもなくジョニーの弾き捲りで最後までファンは堪らないですよ。９０年代の音源が出てきたとなるとそろそろ持ち駒も少ないのかナァなんて心配します。当の本人は元気なのかしらん？？

７年ぶりの新作「ROOTS」が最高にカッコ良いまだまだ元気なJohnnyこのシリーズは出る限り買いますが、特にこの６の出来ばえは最高です。イントロに続くsen-sa-shunのカッコ良さと言ったら！音質も文句無く音の分離もまずまずです。オフィシャルLIVE盤よりブートシリーズのスリリングさの方が断然良い！しかし、ボートラのit's my own faultの凄さは尋常でないテンションです。
