@@midlifemotox Is that to say you can play equally well or better - or are you just being sarcastic and humorous? I for one, appreciate humorous sarcasm....as long as it's apriorily true and can be a learning experience.

Hi there I m 73now, same age, still radical and alt. Love Johnny W records. Sometimes too wild, then I do s Blues. He mastered all styles also aRobert Johnson. Holland.
Johnny Winter is one of those rare guitarists who has a spooky, voodoo groove that only a few are born with. You don't so much hear it, as feel it and it's inexplicable.
LOL. It was kind of the same for me. At that age, at school dances, I couldn't wait for them to be over so I could get home and be alone with my older brother's albums of Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, The Animals, and Al Kooper, etc. That kind of dates me but there you go.
I knew Johnny. He was one of the sweetest, unassuming people in person but could roar on stage. It was what he loved, where he belonged and he did it until the end in Zurich. Miss him still. I used to just watch his hands. He asked me once what I was doin’. I said “ just watchin’ your hands “. He laughed and said “ you ain’t gonna learn nothin’ by just watchin’ my hands! “. So right!! Now I play, but nothing like this and never will. He is one of the best ever
Gott sei Dank habe ich sie alle live in West- Berlin erleben dürfen. Gallager, A. Lee, Winter, Robin Trower, Ted Nudgen und alle anderen großen Meister an der Gitarre. Danke 🌅
This is the single greatest performance at Woodstock. The amount of sound he's creating with simultaneous lead and rhythm, one foot in the past and one foot in the future. THEN he whips out that slide. It's all here. Complete blues. So glad we are now able to see this.
I wasn't at Woodstock but I saw him blow away Led Zeppelin at the Laurel Pop Festival in Maryland and I saw him blow away the Allman Brothers at the Fillmore the night they recorded their live album. Both Zep and the Brothers were amazing but he was MORE amazing!!!!
Best similar recording of Johnny doing 'lead' and 'rhythm' is first song off his first album: Johnny Winter - Memory Pain. Don't believe anyone will ever match that.
I got to see him back in the seventies several times. To use an overused word, he truly was awesome. In this performance from Woodstock he looks happy and definitely in control. Phenomenal Player!!
Johnny Winter wonderland...the Snowman....The King of Cool. I saw him in Austin one night ripping it up. He was hopping around and doing that electric jitter thing, but he fell off the stage. Kinda hurt himself. But he closed out. Johnny was on fire.
My older brother and I saw him in Chicago in the early 70s with his trio Johnny Winter And. With The Derringers. What a night! A guy did a swan dive off the balcony at some point. I feel fortunate.
Thank god for UA-cam! I remember all this great music but since it was over 40 years ago millions of people weren't even born to "remember" this stuff. If there were no UA-cam all this great music would be just a distant memory. On Sirius Radio you can listen to BB King's "Bluesville" and hear a LOT of stuff that doesn't even exist on Vinyl or CD format (bootleg and B-side stuff). Everyone has their own favorites but a LOT of music would be lost to time. As an 'old guy' I'll just say again, "thank god for UA-cam"!
The man was a mother freekin legend. He could lay down some of the tastiest blues licks or straight up rip an axe for hours and never lose a lick even in his 70's. I feel bad for today's generation because music anymore is devoid of such talent. I bet there is one hell of a jam session going on up in the white room right now. Rest In Peace Johnny Winter!
***** we shouldnt have to look for it its the labels jobs to bring it to us, and they are failing. There is nothing on the level of rock from those decades anywhere being made. If it is its just a copy. For ie., no 3 piece band is gonna sound better than Cream or the Experience
I saw Johnny Winter in 1972 with Rick Derringer, we were standing where they had to walk right by us to get on stage, they were soo stoned, lol! He was 2 ft from me. They rocked! Dual leads with Rick! J Geils Band opened for them, excellent energy all night! I'll never forget!
Same here! I did not know, and I'm from that era, that Mr. Winter performed at Woodstock; I never heard too much about him when I was young; I also never knew he was so freak'n outstanding!
Seen Johnny winters in the 70's in Cleveland when we walked out side public hall after the concert it was snowing. What a TERMENDOUS concert LOVE LOVE JOHNNY WINTER. CLEVELAND COLLINWOOD OHIO, ROCKS.❤
Johnny Winter made Blues popular on a national scale. I know this is open for debate, he, Roy Buchanan and Rory Gallagher were the top three White blues players in the 60's that put White Blues on the map. Clapton, Richards, Page, Duane Allman and others followed. I would say it is a tossup who was the greatest of the three. But Johnny Winter certainly did more to promote and push blues into the general public awareness than anyone else. I think he also needs to be credited as the finest slide blues player ever. For all of you SRV fans out there, Johnny Winter's best material is not available anywhere except in the memory of those who got to see him live in the 60's and early 70's. SRV is not in the same league as Winter - just different. Most of his live blues was mind boggling phenomenal. Jimi Hendrix was a Winter fan. What Johnny Winter did for blues music was as big an impact as Babe Ruth for baseball. And until his death in 2014, he was still an incredible blues guitarist.
@@thomasjachimski9729 agree with you! Henry Vestine and Blind Owl Wison and Harvey Mandel were excellents guitarists. There are plenty of other good guitarists. Kim Simonds, the Great Peter Green, Mick Bloomfield, Stan Webb, Mick Taylor, Robin Trower, Jorma Kaukonen, John Cipollina, etc, etc. I think (mi opinion) keith richards is so overrated. Greetings Thomas. ✌️
Saw him once in a deserted bar give a FLAWLESS performance (there was s a snowstorm so no one came out). He didn't miss a note. As an amateur guitarist, I followed him envisioning playing what he was playing and got bowled over. He was so fast and so accurate. When I hear someone call Johnny Winter the greatest guitarist that ever lived, I make no attempt to stop them.
CJM...why would anyone attempt to stop the opinion of another? Huxley ..Brave New World. Good thing there are still people who don't try to shape the opinions of others to their own liking.
My music budyy and I had the honor of meeting and jamming with Johnny back in '73 when he lived in NYC. We worked in a deli around the corner of his Eastside apartment and he used to come into the deli a lot and we struck up a friendship. It was just after his 30th birthday and he shaved his beard when we were at his apartment because he wanted to "look younger". He was a cordial, and kind gentleman. We partied all night with Johnny and some more of our friends. We even went to a club to see David Amram perform. Johnny turned the whole audience into a back up band for Dave. A fun night was had by all. When I saw Johnny in '69 at the Fillmore East he was using this old, beat up Fender 12 String electric (but not with all of the strings on it) that we see here. He made it sound like it was sent from Heaven. Johnny Winter was a gifted musician and a cordial gentleman.
I saw Johnny in Ft. Smith AR at a fairgrounds concert. He was there with the lates Jerry Reed and Wolfman Jack. I remember standing just feet away from Johnny while on stage in front of me wearing his infamous moccasin boots and vest. Blew me away but I was probably too young to really appreciate his talent and skills. That was also my first concert I was about 9 maybe 10 years old. The year would have been '78 or '79
saw him many years ago at my father's place in Roslyn Long Island New York he was amazing still to me one of the best blues playing Texas guitar slingers that ever lived my favorite song is sweet Papa John on Johnny Winter captured live Long Live Johnny Winter!!!!
Truly one of a kind .......the mold was broken when he was born ....I loved SRV ...but I never heard SRV talk of Johnny Winter which I always found strange !!!
I am 67 and I saw them all, Cream , Stones, Stewart , Clapton, Dylan , Marriot, they all are examples of the great era of the rock but nobody has his voodoo, tex mex , blues feeling all together , great voice if you ask me who gave me the spine’chill in a concert is him. Unknown and forgotten in this world of lies.
Fortunate enough to have seen many shows in the 70s that man could whip a crowd up and play like nobodys business! A lot of encores were Johnny B. Goode and he certainly was!
Johnny Winter deserves a lot of credit. What is happening here I think is historic, although I doubt if the general public quite understands or appreciates it. Johnny Winter has single handedly taken the deep southern blues of Robert Johnson Etc., amplified it and performed it in front of 300,000. That's "Over The Moon" if you ask me. I was there...!
My first exposure to the blues as a 14 year old kid was Johnny Winter's self titled album in 1969 - have loved the blues ever since and it is still one of my favorite albums- a very under rated cat!
Thomas De Lello Love him, and I have heard some of the tracks from that album, but mainly live versions etc. I will get it as a complete set of the original songs and check it out. Thanks.
I love how the guitar is clean and it's just all him and barebones rhythm. And yes, I know the significance. You're dead on right. Johnny is one of the best. Still love him. I outgrew a lot of music, but not Johnny - and others with the deep traditions and great touch.
My thanks to my ex's track member roommate who got the three of us up close and center to a festival seating concert at our university in 1972(?). The line-up was Randall's Island, Johnny Winter and for the final, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers. Johnny blew the house down - just destroyed it. Mayall put us all to sleep in the ruins. Never so disappointed in a legend. Saw Edgar the following year with J. Geils Band as the lead-in band. Again Not disappointed. Two fantastic evenings with the Winter brothers.
When I was 17 at the beach camping for a year, doing nothing, I listened to Jonny Winter's record everyday. 'Good Morning little schoolgirl', I tried to learn to play this song. Now I m 67, n still listening to his song. I m an Asian, but at that time, we all got caught up in the the 70s rock n roll music, n Johnny Winter, Elvin Lee of 10 Years After were our favorites. I don't know anybody played the guitar like Johnny.
I was fortunate to have seen Mr. Winters back in the day. First time was at a large venue, the opening act was Lynyrd Skynyrd and the second time a few years later was at a small bar. The bar was packed and the show was sold out. I was determined to get in. I climbed up on top of a van outside the bar and jumped in through an open window. My good friend Pat and I found our way to the front of the stage. We were less than four feet from his greatness. They have both past and I miss them both. RIP you will both never be forgotten.
His whole life revolved around his music from a very very young age. Johnny Winter is what you get when you dedicate yourself to your muse and let nothing get in the way. The special talented individuals are what make life so exciting to experience and enjoy and also to inspire.
I was 15 in '69, a bit too young to attend Woodstock, and living in another country. However, I bought the albums, watched the movies, and later attended both the US Festivals. Until I discovered this video, I didn't even know that Johnny was at Woodstock! I got to see him live in Sausalito about 12 years ago, and I am very happy about that. He is a Legend. RIP
I was fortunate enough to see Johnny Edgar and Rick Derringer bands at The San Bernardino Swing Auditorium once. Saw Johhny there several times, What a showman!
Oh yeah, memories. Being a blues lover, he caught my ear quickly, had every album. When Jimi Hendrix was asked "What does it feel like to be the greatest guitar player in the world" he said "I don't know why don't you ask Johnny Winter?"
@@paulquirk3783 I read the reason why it keeps changes is cuz he never actually said that. I have red it where he says it on the dick cavett show but that’s false, Jimi instead said “I’m not the greatest guitarist in the world, how about the best sitting in this chair?”
It's actually true and on film somewhere. But Jimi wasn't a blues player as such, primarily. JW was a bloozeman threw and threw. Jimi was 'way out. ' Johnny was RIGHT IN THERE.
I love how Johnny could play the shit out of that guitar. Rhythm and lead like a Demon, a screaming Demon no less, yet still rip out some blistering vocals. A real legend.
@@DJK-cq2uyJohnny had a screaming Demon on his chest, and a tattoo on his thigh. Got naked woman all over him , until the day he die - from the song The illustrated Man
This man grew with the blues in his veins. He the distilled it into the purest electric blues you can find on the planet. I was there for this performance. Unreal. RIP Johnny B Good we're still listening.
It was my great pleasure to meet this man and see him play. He even signed an old album of his. He was very gracious and kind even tho he was suffering many health troubles at the time. RIP Johnny we loved you man.
I had the same experience meeting him. We sat in his trailer after the concert, talked and I could tell he was very tired. I remember his face when I told him I was a player grew up listening to Clapton & Hendrix but studying Winter. He smiled we shook hands. One of the crew came in said JW needed to rest asked if I wanted his autograph. I had nothing so he said the shirt. He signed it on the back real big. I don't think I ever put that shirt back on.
Johnny is not in the movie because of poor management I was there and he blew me away. I. saw him over 20 times actually got to go back stage when he played small clubs in Rhode Island. Mr. Winter was a musical genius and a beautiful spirit he talk to you like a best friend… Eight months after Woodstock I was in the jungles hunting Charlie.Losing friends in a war that we never lost. Bless Johnny and my fallen brothers!
If this doesn't send a chill down your spine, you've got no soul.
Johnny, what a player.
I guess I'm soulless. I sold it to the devil a long time ago.

He is incredible, I’m young and never grew up on old music but I eventually found it myself and Johnnys sound is one of my favourites.
Been grooving on John
Since 59 couldn't agree
More than the preacher
preaching to the choir
In some circles it's said that some guitarists are Johnny Winter wannabes
Sad?Sad?Sad.
I kinda hear that too with Jimmy Page!!!
Unbelievable that this performance was left out of the movie. That was epic.
yup.
The movie 's narrative sux.
His managers decision....dumba**!!
Same with Canned heat
his manager didn't give them rights to be in the movie. It was his decision.
This is the man that saved me from pop music when I was thirteen.
I'll never forget him - ever.
LOL. It was kind of the same for me. At that age, at school dances, I couldn't wait for them to be over so I could get home and be alone with my older brother's albums of Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, The Animals, and Al Kooper, etc. That kind of dates me but there you go.
Second Winter album probably?

I was at Woodstock and Johnny’s performance was one-of the best of the entire weekend!
I was there, I saw him (and Edgar) and I agree.......
Lucky you. I had to wait for the 2 doubles LP's to be sold in México. Greetings Howard ✌️
How can you remember? 😂
In the middle of the night Sunday night... blew me away.
Me too. I agree.

Piss on the hall you know what's great don't need corporate douchery involved.
Johnny Winter plays guitar like no other I don't really think to many people realize how great he really was RIP Johnny

Captured Live ain't bad either.
Johnny Winter wonderland...the Snowman....The King of Cool. I saw him in Austin one night ripping it up. He was hopping around and doing that electric jitter thing, but he fell off the stage. Kinda hurt himself. But he closed out. Johnny was on fire.
Le plus grand talent de l'histoire du blues ❤️🎸
Saw Johnny Winter headline at the Santa Monica Civic ….J.Geils Band opened …..
Needless to say
We were BLOWN AWAY
That was crazy.... Johnny is amazing!!!!!!
the song still rocks today!!!
My older brother and I saw him in Chicago in the early 70s with his trio Johnny Winter And. With The Derringers. What a night! A guy did a swan dive off the balcony at some point. I feel fortunate.
The best blues guitarist ever!!! Underated and should have been in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame years ago!!!
Underrated? No way! Johnny Winter was a blues guitar God. Just ask Ritchie Blackmore.
The RRHOF is a hyped up crock. Johnny is way above their level.
Thank god for UA-cam! I remember all this great music but since it was over 40 years ago millions of people weren't even born to "remember" this stuff. If there were no UA-cam all this great music would be just a distant memory.

Everyone has their own favorites but a LOT of music would be lost to time. As an 'old guy' I'll just say again, "thank god for UA-cam"!
The man was a mother freekin legend. He could lay down some of the tastiest blues licks or straight up rip an axe for hours and never lose a lick even in his 70's. I feel bad for today's generation because music anymore is devoid of such talent. I bet there is one hell of a jam session going on up in the white room right now. Rest In Peace Johnny Winter!

we shouldnt have to look for it its the labels jobs to bring it to us, and they are failing. There is nothing on the level of rock from those decades anywhere being made. If it is its just a copy. For ie., no 3 piece band is gonna sound better than Cream or the Experience
They are all jamming together! Cant wait to go to music lovers heaven.
Well said, and 100% TRUE !!
white room has black curtains...
How you doing jouy let's go Brandon 😂😂😂
Underrated. Johnny has a ethereal presence, like he was borrowed from another era in space
Since 1970 i seen johnny in concert fifteen times and i miss him sometimes my jaw it the floor just amazed
The most authentic and talented white blues artist l've ever heard RIP bluesman
I never get tired of this.
Don't forget about Duane and Eric

Rober Johnson died 1938
True master of blues, Beaumont TX home town proud.
I just realized he passed and ended up back here again.
He was 25 in this video. Now he belongs to the ages. He was one of the greats.
Caught him live at the Beacon Theatre in 84 or 85. Ten Years After opened up for him.

Very few can come close to johnny
So so so unbelievable just enjoy this
You will not hear better
I saw him him twice in small bars in the late '80s. To say he was amazing is an understatement.
When I was 17 at the beach camping for a year, doing nothing, I listened to Jonny Winter's record everyday. 'Good Morning little schoolgirl', I tried to learn to play this song. Now I m 67, n still listening to his song. I m an Asian, but at that time, we all got caught up in the the 70s rock n roll music, n Johnny Winter, Elvin Lee of 10 Years After were our favorites. I don't know anybody played the guitar like Johnny.
I was fortunate to have seen Mr. Winters back in the day. First time was at a large venue, the opening act was Lynyrd Skynyrd and the second time a few years later was at a small bar. The bar was packed and the show was sold out. I was determined to get in.
I climbed up on top of a van outside the bar and jumped in through an open window. My good friend Pat and I found our way to the front of the stage. We were less than four feet from his greatness. They have both past and I miss them both. RIP you will both never be forgotten.
Although he passed away his music will be remembered forever!!
The man was a legend in his own style and picking unbelievable
Every time i watch his video's i see something new a new note a new move even after all these years it's still got a new grove to his music love it
Mean Town Blues remains the paradigm for all slide players .. RIP Johnny
His whole life revolved around his music from a very very young age. Johnny Winter is what you get when you dedicate yourself to your muse and let nothing get in the way. The special talented individuals are what make life so exciting to experience and enjoy and also to inspire.
What was up with his eyes?...He seemed cross-eyed, but I guess he could see anyway?
I was 15 in '69, a bit too young to attend Woodstock, and living in another country. However, I bought the albums, watched the movies, and later attended both the US Festivals. Until I discovered this video, I didn't even know that Johnny was at Woodstock! I got to see him live in Sausalito about 12 years ago, and I am very happy about that. He is a Legend. RIP
I was fortunate enough to see Johnny Edgar and Rick Derringer bands at The San Bernardino Swing Auditorium once. Saw Johhny there several times, What a showman!
Still alive and well is the best song ever written.
Oh yeah, memories. Being a blues lover, he caught my ear quickly, had every album. When Jimi Hendrix was asked "What does it feel like to be the greatest guitar player in the world" he said "I don't know why don't you ask Johnny Winter?"
I looked this up and apparently he said Rory Gallagher and (another time) Billy Gibbons.
@@paulquirk3783 My preference would have been Robert Johnson.
@@paulquirk3783 I read the reason why it keeps changes is cuz he never actually said that. I have red it where he says it on the dick cavett show but that’s false, Jimi instead said “I’m not the greatest guitarist in the world, how about the best sitting in this chair?”
The way I heard it, when asked, Jimi said "Terry Kath" of the band Chicago
It's actually true and on film somewhere. But Jimi wasn't a blues player as such, primarily. JW was a bloozeman threw and threw. Jimi was 'way out. ' Johnny was RIGHT IN THERE.
Просто офигенное ощущение!! Super!!!
Saw Johnny in a small LA bar in 1977 with only a few peeps. Should have taken the time to see more of the greats back then.
Seen the band the last time at a bar south of Ocala ,Fla. In 92? All that with a 12 string...unbelievable!!
This song on Johnny Winter And Live is phenomenal. Johnny and Rick cutting heads. Two of the best guitarists on the planet.
That live album with Derringer+ Winters tradeoffs is blistering SHREDDING!! 🌟🌟
Absolutely agree Johnny with Rick Derringer were the best guitar team.
All due respect to Rick Derringer Johnny was a whole lot better. Dale
“ARE YOU SHAKIN’?”
Thank You all of your beautiful MUSIC we are still ROCKING!!!
GOD HAS ALL OF THE BEST GUITARIST!!!
RIP!!!
Captured Live my all time favorite live album 😎🙏
I was lucky enough about 17 years ago I saw Johnny play a small club where I live.
I don't think many people fully appreciate that he is sounding this good on an electric 12-string.
But it only has 6 strings on it (for maximum separation).
Thanx for answering my question 👍
One of the very first albums I ever bought from a 2nd hand store was Johnny Winter Live. Great album! RIP.
This the only guitarist I’ve followed in 50 years whose tone had never changed.
One of the best blues guitarists ever R.I.P 👍🦘
Johnny Winter is in my Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. 😀
I love how Johnny could play the shit out of that guitar. Rhythm and lead like a Demon, a screaming Demon no less, yet still rip out some blistering vocals. A real legend.
Pedro 147...Demon? I'm sure Johnny would like that one. 😉 😜
@@DJK-cq2uyJohnny had a screaming Demon on his chest, and a tattoo on his thigh. Got naked woman all over him , until the day he die - from the song The illustrated Man
@MrPnew1 Was that cuz he liked them or cuz he ultimately destroyed them? Consider his freedom from D n A...he talked about getting free..often.
J.winter is one of the Great GUITARIST OF OUR MUSIC😎R.I.P.LOVE.
Saw Johnny at the Armadillo World Headquarters early 70s . Hell Yeah!!
This man grew with the blues in his veins. He the distilled it into the purest electric blues you can find on the planet. I was there for this performance. Unreal. RIP Johnny B Good we're still listening.
It was my great pleasure to meet this man and see him play. He even signed an old album of his. He was very gracious and kind even tho he was suffering many health troubles at the time. RIP Johnny we loved you man.
I had the same experience meeting him. We sat in his trailer after the concert, talked and I could tell he was very tired. I remember his face when I told him I was a player grew up listening to Clapton & Hendrix but studying Winter.
He smiled we shook hands. One of the crew came in said JW needed to rest asked if I wanted his autograph. I had nothing so he said the shirt. He signed it on the back real big. I don't think I ever put that shirt back on.
This guy should have been in the movie for sure.
Outstanding Sound his Slide. NO body wont reach him.
Johnny Winter
How can you not like this .
Testify
Best 25 bucks I ever spent, Johnny Winter at Club Denim, Guelph Ontario 1998. Stood at the front of the stage, fantastic!
Johnny is not in the movie because of poor management I was there and he blew me away.
I. saw him over 20 times actually got to go back stage when he played small clubs in Rhode Island. Mr. Winter was a musical genius and a beautiful spirit he talk to you like a best friend… Eight months after Woodstock I was in the jungles hunting Charlie.Losing friends in a war that we never lost. Bless Johnny and my fallen brothers!
everytime i saw johnny winter i always had the best time!!! ive seen alot of shows-jw great guitarist!!
