Featured Review

A fantastic show by one of the Greats in the music business. A Road Warrior who still delivers after a consistent touring and recording career. He has answered the call of his fans to continue touring. Always putting on a Great show as the Legend he is. Johnny Winter has also brought on the road with him, some of the finest rocking blues players available. A Great Bluesman, who can still Rock, surrounded by stellar players, how can you go wrong?

I don't care how old he is, he knows how to wail on a guitar! It was so loud, my ears were ringing after I left. I wish I could have gotten his autograph after the show. He was not feeling good, but I heard he did come out and sign, only after I left. It was very cold that night. I had an awesome time!

This show was spectacular! The sound was perfect, not too loud and very balanced and crisp. Johnny Winter was awesome. Also, the opening band was a pleasant surprise, Dayride Ritual, these guys rocked, great vocals and guitar. The bass player was outstanding!

Favorite moment: Great watching his fret work. He still has power and authority. @

Setlist: Played a little Ray Charles, a little Stones, favorite was Boney Maroni. @

Opening act(s): Opener was a surprise which played from 8:00 to 9:30. There was talent but the set lacked a little ... focus. no strong direction. They could benefit by some professional coaching. @

He started with Johnny B. Good and it just kept getting better. Music was hard driving and made you have to move.

The Culture Room is the perfect place for an intimate concert. We have seen Johnny many times and each time is better than the last. Johnny is a very humble person and takes time out of his busy day to spend with his many fans. Can't wait to see him again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Went with a buddy to see Johnny last night. We had seen him three times in last few years and it was the same set each time. I love Johnny but he always opened with "Hideaway" by Freddy King, played a lot of slow blues and then closed it out with "Highway 61." Always sat down and played that compact guitar and, frankly, looked like hell! We didn't expect a lot BUT, THINGS CHANGED! Johnny looks better, he's gained weight, and even stood for a few numbers. Brand new setlist, almost all hard-rocking numbers with one slow blues "Blackjack." Opened with "Johnny B Goode," Played some Stones-"Jumpin' Jack Flash" and "Gimme Shelter which he kinda of slid into from another rocker. Brought out the Gibson Firebird and the place went nuts! Finshed standing w/ Firebird and the trademark "Highway 61!" GREAT. JOHNNY IS BACK IN FINE FORM, BETTER THAN EVER, INTENSE AS HIS SHOWS IN THE 70'S.

too loud. sound was not mixed well. the drums were overpowering. Johnny's voice and guitar were hard to distinguish for too many cuts. two slide cuts at end of concert were great, but his guitar and voice could have sounded clearer, cleaner.
loudness cut have been cut in half.

still, he looked better than in the past.
solid concert overall, he can still play

really wanted to hear a legend but walked out. Sound was horrible. Drummer and Bass player brought their stadium kits and stepped on everybody. Sound guy needs to go live in a AMC gremlin With a 1200 watt stereo and never bother another human again.
Nice intimate venue with a Man that can still cut it

I've been a Johnny Winter fan since I was 17, so I was all jacked up about hearing him play. Too bad, because this concert was a real disappointment. At some point in a song, every soloist runs out of "things to say" and he/she needs to know when to stop and come back to the vocals or whatever should come next. Mr. Winter apparently doesn't know how to spot "the moment". His solos went on forever and became boring. If I want to hear that kind of playing, I can go to a local jam session full of 18 year olds wanking on their new guitars.

On a positive note, the Tralf is a great place for music. Clean, well organized, and the staff was friendly & professional. And, the opening act, Chris Weinholtz was quite good. Local guy, I guess. I'd definitely attend one of his gigs if I ran across him somewhere around Western NY.

The sound mix was terrible, second lead guitar was much louder than Johnny's and his vocals were barely audible. I expected much more, he should hang it up!

Great venue, all good seats, service and sound system state of the art. Drove through the snow belt to catch Johnny on top of his game. Singing and playing like it was 1975. Great evening!

Johnny was incredible. He played hard, played fast, and no one plays the blues like Johnny!!! Every year I expect him to slow down and lose his skills but he was as sharp as ever.
