Live from Japan is an album and a concert video by blues rock guitarist and singer Johnny Winter.
This was the last night of a three-concert run by Winter, his first live performances in Japan.
[3] Writing about the album on AllMusic, Mark Deming said, "A mobile recording system was on hand to capture the historic event, and Live from Japan documents a typically fiery show from the Texas guitar slinger, showing off his powerful instrumental style as he wails through a set of blues standards.
"[4] Writing about the video on Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange, Mark S. Tucker said, "As the concert proceeds and that well steeped blues blood of his stirs, Winter gets more animated, his own music infecting him as much as the audience.... By the time he lights into "Got My Mojo Working", everything's up to speed and kinetic, even with the august gent still seated.
Johnny becomes what he is: a blues king holding court and showering blessings on the people.
