 Johnny died in 1992 leaving behind a memorable musical legacy and many friends around the world. This previously unissued concert from 1970 is part of that legacy.
It's the earliest live recording of Shines and finds him in peak from shouting the blues as only he could and playing stellar guitar. His performances are powerful and commanding with forceful vocals and his melodic bottleneck playing. He does half of dozen Robert Johnson songs but these are totally original interpretations by Johnny and, just as his 1952 recording of 'Rambling' did, clearly showed he was the best interpreter of Johnson's music.
