The Johnny Shines film deserves to be properly credited to Kurt Hriczucsah of Vienna.
Johnny Shines in Austria 1975, 22 minutes long
Around 10.00 he plays in an uptempo song in the key of C, which is rather unusual compared to his usual repertoire.
videodescription/general info :
At my home in Vienna, February 1975. Filmed on super 8 on 3-minute-reels with an Eumig camera without sound. "Synchronised" later from acetates (to regulate the speed on a Lenco L75 turntable). Doesn't work all the time - but it took a long time (and tons of cigarettes and a lot of drinks) to fix it this way. Unfortunately also the camera made a lot of noise... I had to fill the time between the 3-minute-clips with footage I took at the train station when Johnny left Salzburg and later near the river Danube in Vienna (no, it is not the delta). For a short time there can be seen a bridge on screen. This was the old "Reichsbruecke", which broke down the next morning.
Finally I have to thank Mr. Johnny Shines, one of the finest persons I ever met in my life, with whom I spent a wonderful week during and between his concerts in Austria (3 concerts at Jazzland Vienna, one each in Linz and Salzburg). Thank you, Johnny, I will never forget this week.
And: No, he gave me no new photo of R.J. ... but it seemed, like he was happy that I didn't ask about..
