Summary: To Bad - He deserves better
Review: After viewing the DVD, and shaking off the feeling of being ripped off, I pulled out all the VHS material I've collect on Johnny. Sure enough, most of the material was there, minus the interviews of course, clean video and pretty decent sound. I can't say that about the DVD. Most of the material was copied from the VHS format, the better being "Guitar Greats", and they would have been better off using the tapes I have to copy from.
If you're a true fan of the best blues guitar man alive, buy it. If you're looking for the video footage that you thought would be crisp and clear, and audio that would knock your socks off, you better wait till someone puts together something that this man deserves.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: HIGH-TECH
Review: First of all I would like to say that I like JW very much! but this DVD is terrible! It's like a pirated VCD. When we speak of DVD, it comes to our mind of high-tech. In this DVD there's nothing high-tech. The songs which he performed by the way are all excellent, the quality of sound is fair and the quality of the picture is the worst I've ever seen.

If you're a JW die hard fan, think twice before buying this DVD. I recommend that you buy his albums instead.

Summary: Johnny Winter DVD - Unnecessary Disappointment
Review: I am a long time Johnny Winter fan. I bought "Still Alive And Well" as my first record purchase at age 8.

This was nothing but a big money grab by Teddy Slatus (Johnny's long time manager). The quality is so poor. This is such a disappointment. The effort was obviously a big fat zero. What happened to the segments from Don Kershner's Rock Concert? Were the not promised with announcement of the upcoming video from the WEB site? I thought they were. I can forgive bad quality on certain clips like the late 60s clip with brother Edgar. However there were segments that were filmed as a Q107 simulcast in Toronto's Massey hall. I saw the original broadcast in Canada and there is NO excuse for the quality of this footage.

Summary: Very Poor Quality DVD- A Real Pity
Review: I can't believe the terrible quality of this DVD. A terrible waste of all that DVD can offer. The first two cuts come off of the "Johnny Winter Live" vhs.The picture and sound quality of the vhs tape is great. I can't understand how it could have been butchered so badly by being put on DVD. The quality of the rest of the DVD is only slightly better, if at all. I am a huge J.W. fan, he deserves much better than this DVD offers.

Summary: Do not waste your money!!
Review: I grabbed this on vhs (thank god) what a joke all the "interviews" are over the phone the footage is simply pitiful!! i have boots that would knock this crap out of the park the so called "concert" footage is so sickingly beyond believe that it makes one wonder if Winter himself ever had a hand in this,one part is, at best 4-5th gen bootleg footage, where is the Musikladen footage? where is Winters consideration for his fans??? Go to your nearest record show find some quality footage and leave this trash to the landfill

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The most inspiring blues guitarist ever..................
Review: I had the pleasure of seeing johnny live in 1973 on the Gold Coast , in Australia and it was easily the best live concert i've been to in my entire life.
This guy has it all!! He played for 2 hours non-stop and whipped the crowd of only 1,000 into a frenzy.
This D.V.D. is a milestone as he is now 59 years old and whilst still making c.d.s I doubt if any more material will be available on D.V.D. I hope Im wrong!!
How can you worry about the quality if its the only footage available?
Keep strumming for ever Johnny!!!

Summary: undeserving
Review: I have looked for JW footage for as long as I can remember and at last something comes out. This fantastic artist deserves a lot better than this shody quality DVD. The performance he does with his brother begs for better sound and picture, are we in 2003? Is Sony or Alligator out there somewhere? I shot some footage of his performance in Tampa in early 90's but the Gestapo quickly grabbed me by the neck and confiscated it, thanks Slatus! Johnny is one of the best of all time and yet none of his labels put anything out for us to enjoy. I guess you have to be an entertainer to have your work preserved and distributed by record companies, artists need not apply.
