    Re: Welcome to Concert Vault

    1st of all,much thanks to Wolfgangs Vault for providing this wealth of wonderful music!

    Wow,you were at that legendary show!I visited NYC for the 1st time last Easter,using the Johnny/Edgar/Derringer concert in Red Bank,NJ,for the reason...Amazing show!I made a vow to see those 3 together before it's to late.Derringer's chops are better than ever;Edgar,ever the consummate pro,was typically,his brilliant self and Johnny was in much better shape ,than his troubled,post-injury,period...I say this in all honesty,having seen him 3 times since,(2008 Chicago Blues Fest,being the most recent) as he's getting stronger and better,with each passing show...I went by the site of the famous,Fillmore East...not even a commemorative plaque?The Allmans were locally playing a week + gig at the time of my visit as I flying out on Easter Sunday.Missed the flight due to subway/track repair/delays...Johnny ended up sitting in with The Allmans for the 1st time since that historic show you were at!It's on Youtube,(3 songs);renowned critic/guitarist/instuctor,Dave Rubin gave a glowing review as follows;

    If only I had known he was sitting in!Always nice to talk with a fellow Johnny Winter fan.He was my 1st guitar hero,after first hearing him in '75.I've been a huge fan ever since and am indebted to him as my passport to quality/serious music;Muddy Waters and the blues,etc.!

    Still Alive & Well!
