Johnny Reeferseed:  I have no idea about concert tapes from the wonderful era of jazz.  I listened to my mom's vinyl, some of which I still have.

Speaking of Johnny Winter, I saw him at Fillmore West when Rick Derringer was in the band.  Great show to say the least.  Mike Bloomfield sat in on a couple of tunes. Bloomer and Winter -- two speed freaks (and along with the meth, heroin to come down later) laying down the licks.  I distinctly remember (and prudes should cover skip the next sentence) Johnny Winter standing behind Derringer during a song and making pelvic thrusts into Rick's behind. It was very sexual and very gay.  Just reporting the facts -- I have no idea what their sexual preference were or are and don't care. I do know that the scene was strange as you all know that Winter is a very unique looking person and Rick D was a very cute, innocent looking young guitar-slinger.  I am glad that Johnny has made it thru his addictions and health problems and is still performing. He was a star at Clapton's recent guitar crossroads concert, as reported by Rolling Stone.

The Winter show at Fillmore West is very curious for this reason:  I have never been able to find a poster of the show or any reference at all to the concert in any way.  It seems to not have been a Bill Graham Presents show, as it would be listed, yet I am pretty sure Graham controlled the Fillmore West (formerly the Carousel Ballroom) at the time. The other groups were Lee Michaels and I think It's A Beautiful Day.  I asked a highly respected Bay Area poster collector about this show and he was not sure why it cannot be found.  I put it out here in case any one in Wolfgang's Vault land can shed light on what the heck this concert was and when it occurred.  I think it was late 1970 or sometime in 1971.  Anyone else at this show?  Anyone? Anyone?
