BB King, Johnny Winter - PLUS BB King *AND* Johnny Winter (Mind-melting!) Live At The Newport Jazz Festival 1969-07-06 from 2nd gen AUD reel-to-reel tape with known lineage(rec1)- *BLOWS AWAY ANY PREVIOUS VERSION* "Freakin' At Newport, Part 2" 16 Bit CD-burnable version


Welcome to Part 2 of an historic event!

The performances of the two artists of this show really could not be seperated. 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. The recording quality of the BB King starts off a bit better than the previously posted Led Zeppelin. It then takes another major leap forward just before Johnny Winter hits the stage.

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.

A note on burning: The Led Zeppelin torrent and this torrent can be combined to just fit onto two cdr's. Burn the Led Zeppelin, and then the BB King through the end of "Please Accept My Love" on one cd, and burn the rest on the second.

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

Several glitches in the original tape were smoothed out. Pitch was matched and maintained throughout with "Virtual Keyboard".

It's possible, although completely unconfirmed, that you are hearing these performances for the first time. Can anyone confirm that?


Enjoy!
