Description by OLDIES.com:

He was a passionate, grass-roots blues man, a glamorous funkateer, an innovative studio artist and a gifted entertainer. Johnny "Guitar" Watson, who died far too young during a comeback tour of Japan in 1996, electrified audiences all over the globe with his musical diversity, funky and imaginative guitar work and his cool, seductive voice. This "unfiltered" live recording documents one of the super-talented Texan's greatest concerts.

Product Description:

Always ahead of his time, groundbreaking guitarist Johnny "Guitar" Watson pushed his instrument to the limit by incorporating feedback into his sound in a way no one had done before. Watson's futuristic guitar style would not be emulated until nearly 15 years down the road by acts of the progressive rock genre. Watson's revolutionary approach to the instrument even influenced later musicians such as Frank Zappa (who would include Watson on his popular 1975 album ONE SIZE FITS ALL). Filmed on July 2nd, 1990, this episode of OHNE FILTER features Watson performing many of his most experimental songs, including: "Strike On Computers," "Superman Lover," "I Wanna Ta Ta You Baby," and several others. In addition, JOHNNY GUITAR WATSON IN CONCERT also contains a special, extended version of "Gangster Of Love."
