Whether the tortures were placed before him by fate (his albino birth) or by his own hand (with a needle and a spoon), Johnny has fought and triumphed against them all. Yet every step has been a struggle for him. In the past year Johnny Winter’s optimism about life has returned, along with his career and friends. And he returned as one of rock’s biggest stars – turning his back on worst kind of rock and roll suicide – heroin. It’s already been a year since Johnny Winter returned to Rock and roll. Because Johnny Winter on stage is a confident man these days. Then they wanted to set the crowd on fire. Just the night before Johnny and his band had been filmed for “In Concert”. He can see well enough to function in a lit room, and his knowledge of guitar is so complete that he hardly needs to touch the fretboard to know where his fingers are going, but in a room so filled with smoke that the far wall is obscured, Johnny is in trouble. The audio is from Selland Arena in Fresno on the 31st. Note: Don’t be confused by the video image which is the album cover for the show in San Diego from the night before. Johnny Winter live Selland Arena, Fresno, CA 3-31-74 JW live Selland Arena, Fresno, CA 3-31-74. Diff’rent Strokes – Return of the Gooch.
