Johnny Winter in November 1970

-

The biting chill of a late November night couldn't keep the devoted from flocking to the Capitol Theatre in Portchester, New York. The year was 1970, and the air crackled with anticipation. Inside, blues legend Johnny Winter, a man whose guitar skills were as electrifying as his albino hair, was about to unleash a performance that would become a cornerstone of his legacy. The stage was set, the Fedco Audio Labs truck primed to capture the magic, and a chapter in music history was about to be written.

Selling Sounds

By BOB GLASSENBERG

Fedco Audio Labs is a truck which runs from concert to concert, making live recordings. It is owned by an ex-physicist, Lyle Fame, who runs it with the help of graduate students in Physics from Brown University. So far, Fedco has recorded the live Doors LP; several of Graham's Tanglewood concerts; Joe Cocker's "Mad Dogs and Englishmen," LP; the Ann Arbour Blues Festival; the live John Sebastian LP; Rod Stuart and the Small Faces at the Fillmore East; and they will soon record Johnny Winter live at the Capitol Theater in Portchester and part of the East coast tour which Neil Young will be doing. They also ran around New York City recording the Judy Collins LP, done in about five. separate locations.
