Johnny Winter - Barcelona 18 05 1990

Review by Hershel Gau

Barcelona 18 05 1990, the live album by Johnny Winter, is a must-have for blues rock enthusiasts. The album captures Winter's raw energy and technical prowess on the guitar, as he delivers electrifying performances of his classics, including "Highway 61 Revisited," "Jumpin' Jack Flash," and "Johnny B. Goode."

The album's production quality is superb, with each instrument and Winter's vocals clearly audible. The backing band, including bassist Johnny B. Gayden and drummer Tom Compton, provide a solid foundation for Winter's guitar pyrotechnics.

The album's highlight is Winter's extended solo on "Mojo Boogie," where he demonstrates his mastery of the blues guitar. The audience's enthusiastic response is a testament to Winter's ability to captivate a crowd.
