Totally Rockin' Wild Greatness October 15, 2008
K. Ostergaard (New York, NY)
Johnny cuts loose from the opening bars with his signature high-energy blues-rock. This was recorded from some huge live shows on the West Coast and the quality is very good. He plays a fair amount through a stereo chorus which adds a nice touch. Every track is played with the full out energy of a headline centerpiece. If this don't get you rockin' then nothing will. I recommend this instead of coffee in the morning, higher volumes preferred.
The Master October 1, 2008
J. Schaubroeck (Atlanta, GA)
What a joy it was to 'reconnect' with my guitar hero from my youth. Though I was mostly a metal head in my teens, I was always drawn to the chops of Johnny Winter. Seeing him in person @ 15 years old left a lasting impression. This CD brought back the memories of his show.
Highway 61 Revisited is worth the price of admission. Johnny simply tears up the fret board and demonstrates his slide guitar acumen. Sweet Papa John is a great album ender as Johnny takes one's breath away with his raw blues rock.
The songs Roll With Me and Rock-n-Roll People have some distracting feedback, but hey, it's a live concert. If you are a fan of live music AND enjoy blues/slide/lead guitar, you will enjoy this CD.
Nothin' to Get the Blues ABout August 11, 2008

Johnny Winter has turned his back on rock-n-roll. All he plays live and all he has recorded for the past 20-something years has been traditional blues based. Like many other guitar greats of his period,( Clapton,Page etc) Johnny Winter may feel it is the ultimate homage and tribute to the black blues masters of the Delta to keep to strict blues form nowadays instead of the mutated white boy hybrid that 60's and 70's rockers Cream, Led Zeppelin made their bones on. Don't misunderstand. There are blues on this excellent live album, "Sweet Papa John" being the most distinctive. But as for balls out, boogie rock with a Southern but never lazy bent, "Captured Live" is a fine if not the BEST example of this basically extinct genre.I love the blues, but I can't believe any artist would turn his back on something as great as this..
"Roll With Me" is a thumping rocker, with great interplay between Winter and guitarist Floyd Radford."All Over Now" is an adrenaline pumped update of a good but not exceptional Stones cover, with great leads and a tempo that is a huge improvement to the original. The standout piece for me is Mr.Winters absolutely blistering rendition of Bob Dylans "Highway 61 Revisited". Gone is Dylan's mumbling vocal and the toy sounds that accented the original. Johnny Winter's "Highway" is one of the most dexterous excercises in guitar mastery ever complimented by a rhythym section so tight, it's almost unhuman. Johnny's slide work is incredible on this number. Winter pushes his guitar licks to lengthy (but melodic) excess, but is quick to add creative changes that make a very long song not so long. If you ever have a 15 minute car ride on the highway you'd like to do in around 10- this is the song for that ride. Brilliant fretplay and nice cohesion with Floyd Radord's equally deft guitar work- it don't get no better than this!
ONE OF THE GREATEST LIVE ALBUMS EVER MADE! June 4, 2008

Listening to this album now is still an amazing treat! Johnny and Company smoke every song on this blistering set! "Johnny Winter Captured Live" was one of my staples I would bring to parties as a teenager and it hasn't lost it's edge one bit! Johnny Winter is one of the greatest Guitarist to ever play the instrument, but what make this album so fantastic is that his counter part Guitarist Floyd Radford is just as good as Johnny. To the casual listener it might be hard to tell who's playing what! The Drums and Bass are solid and keep up with these two face-melters every step of the way.
If you like great guitar work and thumpin' 'Rock N Roll' live sets. Please do yourself a favor and buy this set! It's that good and it has been reissued at a very affordable price. Even if you aren't a Johnny Winter Fan per say.....give it a listen, you just might become one! Stand out cuts like Bonie Moronie, Roll with Me, It's All Over Now and Highway 61 Revisited will blow you away!
The best of the 1970's May 1, 2007
Dwight Fry 57 (Denver, CO)
I'll keep it brief. The 1970's had a lot of great live albums. This was probably the best one of them all. It's timeless. Down and dirty blues rocking with guitar work that you will have to hear to believe.
