Texas International Pop Festival, Dallas International Motor Speedway, Lewisville, TX, 9-1-1969, Part 9: Johnny Winter

Posted by on
Here's the ninth out of ten albums for the third day of the 1969 Texas International Pop Festival. It features blues guitarist Johnny Winter.

Johnny Winter's music career began back around 1960, when he released his first single. But he became a star in 1969, when he was signed to a major record label and released two albums that went into the charts. He also performed at the Woodstock festival prior to this festival.

However, he was not happy to perform at this festival. Like Janis Joplin, who also performed at the festival, he was born and raised in Texas. But he wasn't keen on going back. He later was quoted in a book, "Neither me nor Janis Joplin wanted to go back to Texas, man. That place was a thing of our past." There was some hoopla in the media about the festival being a "homecoming" for him and Joplin, but he called that "a bunch of crap the promoters rigged up." Furthermore, he didn't like the heavy drug use in the audience, saying that by the time he went on stage, it "seemed like everyone was blown away on acid." He personally vowed to stay clear of any drugs. But some time before going onstage, a pretty young woman run up to him and gave him a deep kiss, slipping some tabs of acid down his throat. He was not pleased by this, to say the least. "I was blown away for two days. I didn't even know my name. People like that girl thought she was doin' me a favor."

Despite all that, he played an excellent set. Even he personally declared the music of festival "unbelievable." The next day, a review in the Dallas Morning News commented, "Although its his voice that he is primarily noted for, he is a guitarist par excellence."

This recording came from a soundboard source, I think. However, there were issues. Three of the songs had missing parts. Since that includes the end of the last one, it's possible there was more music after that. I found other live recordings he did from 1969, and used them to fill in the missing sections. That's why those three songs have "[Edit]" in their names. Also, the lead vocals were low in the mix, so I boosted them using the MVSEP program. That makes me wonder if it might be an audience bootleg instead. But either way, the sound quality is pretty good, but not great.

This album is an hour and two minutes long.
