Live at San Francisco 1989

This DVD contains rare footage of Johnny Winter during his "Captured Live" tour from 1976 and 1989 from San Francisco, CA. First up is Johnny Winter recorded during his 1976 World Tour stop in SF on 4/30/76. These two songs were filmed in black & white and have a digital counter. Songs performed are Johnny B. Goode and Jumpin' Jack Flash. Also included is a segment recorded in France for television and contains live performances as well as interviews with Johnny Winter. The interviews are most interesting as he touches on such topics as Floyd Radford, being a second guitarist in the band and wanting to do one album and a tour combining his own band and the Edgar Winter Group (this did happen and resulted in the Johnny and Edgar Winter "Together" album). Songs performed are Boney Maronie and Something's Gone Wrong. Band members for the '76 tour were Floyd Radford on second lead guitar, Randy Jo Hobbs on bass and Richard Hughes on drums. The interplay between Johnny and Floyd on lead guitars is quite extraordinary. Also included is a 1984 clip of Johnny with Jon Paris on bass and harmonica on the blues classic Treat Her Right. The final offering features Johnny's performance at the San Francisco Blues Fest on 9/9/89 during his North American tour. Performing with Johnny are Jeff Gans and Tom Compton. Songs performed are instrumental, I'm Good, Don't Take Advantage of Me, Love Her with a Feeling, Serious as a Heart Attack and Mojo Boogie, which features Johnny on slife on his Gibson Firebird. NOTE: This was an outdoor performance and the footage contains glare from the sun.
