Some stuff I found online about the show :
Johnny Winter celebrated his 70th birthday with a show at New York’s B.B. King’s. Throughout the show, Winter was joined by special guests
Poppa Chubby, Debbie Davies, Mike Zito, Joe Louis Walker, Jon Paris as well as Lance Lopez, who opened the show for Winter. Johnny was also
presented with a blues award and a birthday cake during the show.
In honor of the blues guitarist’s 70th birthday, Winter will release True to the Blues on February 25, a 4-CD career-spanning box set
featuring well known songs such as “Johnny B. Goode,” “Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo” and “Prodigal Son.” Pre-orders are still underway via Amazon.
There’s a video clip on Johnny Winter’s official site in which the blues great says, “Being worshipped is not fun. Being appreciated is fun.”
The low-key Winter must have enjoyed himself on Feb. 23. That night at New York’s B.B. King Blues Club & Grill, appreciation for Winter’s life
and career was everywhere, as his concert also served as a 70th-birthday celebration and a push for his new 4-CD retrospective, “True to the Blues:
The Johnny Winter Story.”Seated throughout his headlining set, Winter stormed through material that put him on the map, including his early 1970s
covers of Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode” and The Rolling Stones’ “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” (both included on “True to the Blues”), and what inspired
him to be a musician, such as the Muddy Waters-popularized “Got My Mojo Workin’ (which Winter recorded for his 2011 album, “Roots”).Johnny Winter
Paying tribute to him onstage were fellow blues artists Popa Chubby (who during his guest spot on “Got My Mojo Workin’”
elicited a big grin from the normally poker-faced Winter), Mike Zito (who jammed on “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” and later presented Winter with a guitar
as a gift) and Joe Louis Walker (who strapped on opener Lance Lopez’s guitar for “It’s All Over Now”).As the show was winding down, statements
from the likes of Derek Trucks, Carlos Santana and Pete Townshend about Winter’s impact as a blues guitarist appeared on the club’s inexplicably
blurry video screens. For a lifelong musician like Winter, appreciation from peers and disciples is the kind of fun that probably never gets old.
Winter’s next block of North American tour dates begins with a March 6 show in Leesburg, Va. The “True to the Blues” collection is due Feb. 25
via Columbia/Legacy.
