Live in NYC '97 is a live album by the American blues and blues rock guitarist Johnny Winter . The album was released in 1998 by Point Blank Records. The album peaked at # 7 on Billboard's Top Blues Albums.
General
Johnny Winter did not choose the songs himself, but let his fans vote for their favorite song. After the song selection, The Bottom Line , a New York venue that was used for smaller concerts in the 1970s and 1980s, was rented and in April 1997 members of its fan clubs were invited to a special concert. The album only contains one original, Winter's collaboration with Johnny Guitar Watson "Johnny Guitar", all others are cover versions, whereby the title "Definitely" can almost apply to the version by Freddie King's Hideaway.
The critic Stephen Erlewine writes in the AMG that the live album is that hardcore fans have been waiting for for years, and it keeps its promise. The album is essential for fans. In Living Blues Magazine, the author writes that Winter marries the Chicago Sound with Freddie King's style and that the result is exciting. And Bill Mlkowski writes that the album captures the guitar hero in fine form.
