BB KING and JOHNNY WINTER
Newport Jazz Festival 1969 [A DoinkerTape, 2CD]
Live At The Newport Jazz Festival; July 6, 1969. Good to very good audience recording.

Thanks to Doinker who originally shared the show at Dime; and to jbarrowsrn for keeping the show alive at planetrocklosslessbootlegs.com.

Doinker’s notes:

The performances of the two artists of this show really could not be separated. The announcements during and between sets connect them as one event, so they are presented together. BB King performs first, then Johnny Winter, and then BB King JOINS Johnny Winter for a jam session that has to be heard to be believed. To say they go a little crazy together is an understatement.

These over-the-top performances, that you can listen to over and over again!

Even though part of this recording needed speed correction, that’s not a pitch problem you hear. BB’s guitar is “funky-style” out of tune. Not out of tune to itself, but pitched slightly out-of-key. It certainly adds another dimension to the sound of his band. You’ll notice it more on the jam with Johnny Winter.

Lineage:
MR > R- > ??R?? > Sound Forge > 16 cent slowdown (3/5 of 1/4 of one note) for part of show > FLAC via Flac Frontend level 6, sectors aligned and verified
2nd gen AUD reel-to-reel tape with known lineage (rec1)
BLOWS AWAY ANY PREVIOUS VERSION
Several glitches in the original tape were smoothed out. Pitch was matched and maintained throughout with “Virtual Keyboard”.

Thanks also to texashash for the corrected tracklist; and thanks to mroscoe for the artwork (modified here).

  13. I APOLOGIZE FOR MY SON - PEOPLE WHO KNOW THE LEAST ALWAYS KNOW IT THE LOUDEST, SO HE’S THE LOUDEST PERSON YOU’RE EVER LIKELY TO MEET.

    By DROPKICK SARGE'S MOM on Feb 14, 2013

  14. @metaljohn… fully agree. I saw Johnny last summer on my birthday. They had to lead him to the stage and seat him, then handed the guitar to him… but after that he ripped the place apart.

  20. joe - On June 18, 2012, Hall and CBS Television Distribution (which now owns the Paramount Television library) signed a deal to produce a new late-night talk show, targeted to debut on September 9, 2013. The new program will tentatively air on stations owned by CBS Television Stations, Tribune Broadcasting, and Local TV, in some cases on stations which also carried Hall’s original program (such as FOX affiliates).

  23. “my ex wife”

    tsk tsk darth. you never should have ignored her sexual advances to leaf through the people magazine you nicked from jaggers dumpster.

    By barth on Mar 8, 2013

  24. “on a personal note..”

    Get your own blog if you want to reveal the endless sordid details of your miserable life, no one wants to read this crap here. Idiot.

  26. thankx darth.always interesting and informative!

    By joe colostrum on Mar 8, 2013

  27. joe - ty. very kind of u.

    the others - if u dont wanna read it.. dont. simple solution.
    and yes clapton and i knew one another. i offered the ex wife the opportunity to meet him when i contacted her the first time. i said it was because of clapton that i had met her but i didnt say he was involved. it was your ASSumption that took it there. of course he didnt grow up in queens ny like the ramones and kiss did. thats how i knew them as a youth. i didnt meet eric til the early 80s. i was in my early 20s. i met my ex wife in 87 when i was 27.

    and yes i did get around. thats how i did my photography for 17 yrs. thats how i got to meet and know many of the musicians and actors that i shot in the 80s and 90s. by getting around.

    i dont think one is called a bachelor if theyve been married and divorced. i guess sitting in your mommys basement on the edge of your seat waiting for me to post a comment so u can jump on it doesnt give u much time or opportunity to do very much else like meet girls or date huh? u really should find a better way to invest your time and energies.

    By darth on Mar 8, 2013

  28. “u really should find a better way to invest your time and energies.”

    Right, like trolling music blogs and telling endless bullshit stories with no way to prove them because everything’s “in storage” is productive and enriching.

    Ever wonder why your wife, and all your rock star “friends” have dumped you, and your bff’s here are named “psycho” and “mammary secretion”?

    By Dingus on Mar 8, 2013

  29. and yes clapton and i knew one another.

    hilarious.

    By a tool named darth on Mar 8, 2013

  30. darth is telling the truth. From Eric Clapton’s unpublished biography: “The best thing about touring the US was I got to hang out with my best mate, darth. That and heroin. Okay, actually, heroin was the best thing. I used to ask darth for some heroin, but he always said it was in storage.”

    By Innocent Bystander on Mar 8, 2013

  31. darth is in storage.

    By a tool named darth on Mar 8, 2013

  32. a tool named darth is a tool,lol

    By joe colostrum on Mar 9, 2013

  33. darth , buying the greatest hits of eric clapton doesn`t exactly make you his friend.
    downloading all of his live concerts doesn`t really endear you to him either. just sayin`.

    By the voice of friendship on Mar 9, 2013

  34. joe colostrum, putting LOL at the end of your comment to try and convince others that you are one step away from live comedy is a bit
    “toolish ” as well.

    By a tool named darth on Mar 9, 2013

  35. i havent known eric since 95. i didnt download til 04/05. i didnt claim im a friend of his. nor that collecting his music makes me one. just sayin back!

    i didnt know eric til the early 80s. i believe his heroin days were essentially over by early 73 when he did the rainbow concerts and then his 74 tour. he clearly was into drinking during that first tour. and til his ulcer in 81 i guess he didnt slow down. i dont know how much more he drank til the 90s but i did see him having a few at several times in the 80s.
    as for my stories.. i dont need to prove them. im not in court. u dont have to believe them. it isnt that important. its just a music site and comments i am making below some of the items where i include some anecdotes about my life and experiences and more. that u didnt have the same ones or even similar ones doesnt mean they didnt happen.
    what i dont understand is.. u said u wouldnt keep doing this if i ignored u. so why are u still doing this? i go weeks without responding to anything u say and u dont stop. i dont understand. out of one side of your face u say that u will stop if i dont respond to u. so i stop responding to u. but u continue on. hello?!?!?!?!?
    also.. my photographs even if i had them at my current location.. wouldnt be available for u to see anyway. i have no desire to show them to u. i am not concerned with u believing me. it is ok that u dont. i dont care!! the fact that u dont believe me isnt the crux of the story. the important part is the stories themselves. anything i happen to talk about. not proving they happened.
    my wife didnt dump me. none of my friends in the world of music did either. i no longer keep in touch with them or see them on a regular basis since i stopped taking pics and i left nyc in 95. i dont do what i once did anymore. i dont run into these people. im 53 yrs old in 2 months. while i could probably do some of what i did in my 20s thru mid 30s its not an older mans game. no one dumped me. not sure where u get this stuff. its 18 yrs ago that i stopped taking pics for the most part.
    as i said - u really should find a better way to invest your time and energies.
    even if u use a dozen names. and u talk about trolling.. incredible.

    By darth on Mar 9, 2013

  36. more psychobabble from the one that thinks taking a picture with an imaginary camera makes him a friend for life.

    By a tool named darth on Mar 9, 2013

  37. talk about sitting on the edge of your seat waiting for me to post on here. my comment’s ink wasnt even dry before this idiot felt the need to respond to it with ridiculous stupid gibberish. it took less than 20 seconds for his comment to appear after mine. make of that what u will.

  38. pot calling kettle darth
