Remembrance Vol. 1 is a three-CD album by blues rock guitarist and singer Johnny Winter.[1] It is a compilation of live recordings, many of them previously released, selected from throughout Winter's career. It was released on the Friday Music label on January 13, 2015.

The first disc, Best of the Live Bootleg Series, contains songs selected from the Live Bootleg Series albums. These are authorized recordings, released from 2007 to 2014, many of which had been previously released as bootlegs. The second disc, Live Bootleg Special Edition, was previously released in 2014 only as a vinyl LP. The third disc, Live Bootleg Rarities Vol. 1, contains previously unreleased tracks.[2]

Remembrance Vol. 1 debuted at #8 on the Billboard chart for Top Blues Albums.[3]

Toronto Sun[2]

In the Toronto Sun, Darryl Sterdan said, "Not surprisingly, the three-disc Remembrance Volume 1 feels slightly cobbled together... But Winter's unfailingly powerful performances, along with a 25-song set list that includes mainstays like "Crossroads", "Jumpin' Jack Flash", "Johnny B. Goode" and "Killing Floor" — not to mention odds 'n' sods from "The Crawl" and "Wipe Out" to "Wildwood Flower" — make this a memorable memorial."[2]
