Got to see Johnny 3 times , the last time was 2 weeks before he passed away , and yes , his fingers still moved and he jammed that place . I have not seen Edgar , but I do have hours and hours of tunes from the both of them , more Johnny . Loved Johnny for over 40 years , and will until I'm no longer here !
Edgar recently did a grammy winning album paying tribute to his bro, called Brother Johnny. It has guest turns from a slew of people incl. Joe Bonamassa, Keb Mo, Johnny Lang and other guitar greats. Worth checking out.
Seen Edgar in the early 2000's in Long Beach California by the Queen Mary. He was playing Frankenstein and it started to rain and he ROCKED even harder. What an amazing day that was.
Thanks for sourcing this killer performance of a great song. Wow.....my dreary Monday was kicked to the curb. So uplifting.....great job all for making my day.
Johnny was the bluesman ( r I p ) and Edgar can literally play anything. Life Is Hard by Johnny Winter is the real thing if you dare 🔥 they’re from Texas and yes, they’re albinos
Johnny and Edgar were Albino's, and due to the brightness of the sun, they were legally blind outside. They learned to play by their father and were kept inside their home for protection. Both are musical guises. They took the term "Blue Eyed Soul" to a maximum level. I saw Johnny Winter twice in the early 1070s - he killed it on every song. Thanks for paying Tobacco Road.
I urge you to listen to Johnny Winters self titled album released in 1969. I am a long time fan of his saw him multiple times in the seventies and eighties at various venues from concert halls,outdoor arenas and intimate clubs. My first LP of his was his Still Alive and Well. Johnny went back and forth from blues to rock and his guitar playing was fast and fluid. But my favorite from his is that self titled ‘69 album. His vocals on that are real Delta Blues sounding and together with the guitar work is to me just amazing blues few can touch. Try songs: Dallas, Leland Mississippi Blues, Be Careful With a Fool, When You Got a Good Friend or I’ll Drown In My Own Tears which he does not play guitar but has amazing vocals.
You should do a reaction to Johhny performing Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited. Just a note: Tobacco Road is a 1932 novel by Erskine Caldwell about a dysfunctional family of Georgia sharecroppers during the Great Depression. I read it. A great book
Johnny was one of the greatest Blues guitarists ever. He, Jimi Hendrix, and probably Eric Clapton were considered the three elite Rock guitarists of all time. Jimi would be at the top of the class, and the others wouldn't disagree.

Johnny plugged directly into an amp, no fancy electronics.
Johnny picked the guitar and Edgar took everything else.
This is the one song that every reactor needs to hear it’s a lesson in musicianship.
Nice reaction . . Johnny and Edgar are true legends.

Sweet Sixteen featuring Joe Bonamassa would be a good one to react to from Johnny Winter final album Step Back, great reaction
Check out the over 17 minutes live version by Edgar Winter's White Trash, on their "Roadwork" album. This time it's Rick Derringer on guitar. Peace.
HA - haven't even watched it, yet, and KNOW you're going to LOVE THIS ONE!! They are AMAZING!!!
Saw Johnny, new years eve 1970, I was 15, my first concert
Love it! Johnny and Edgar are true legends. There is much more music by them to discover! Great reaction! ☮️❤️😎
I was lucky enough to see Johnny Winter play (and sing) a couple of times.
Thank you👍

That sounds awesome

Edgar was singing playing the hammond b3 organ and sax. Johhny was playing guitar and is also a great singer, he's the older of the two.

The bass player is Tommy Shannon who later with Chris Layton created Double Trouble and then hooked up with SRV.
Arc Angels too.

Great performance and a great reaction! Thanks 😊
I saw them do this live after Frankenstein came out. I went with my brother and a few friends. The concert was awesome. 😊
just a little FYI the bass player went on to play in a little band called double trouble with SRV........Tommy Shannon

fuck yes dude. great upload. we both smiled all the way through
In 1988 Johnny became the first non-African American to be inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame.
Check out Johnny play a Dylan song HWY61
Hopefully if he does he does the album Johnny Winter Captured Live version, better IMO

The bass player went on to be in Double Trouble, Stevie Ray Vaughan band.
My parents hated them... but what did they know. I knew they were the shit back then. I think that means good.

I agree that they are considered to be some of the greatest, however Jimi himself said that Terry Kath from the group Chicago was better than him.
Johnny can rip out with the best of them. Still Alive and Well the title track from the album is a banger.
Subbed! 👍
Is this a cover song by these guys? Because this isn't the way i've heard Tabbaco Road. And i've got the record.
Johnny Winter and Janis Joplin actually dated for a bit,
Interesting…
albino brothers. think johnny was older
crazy
Down home deep southeast Texas dirtfloor blues!! I from and still live in southeast Texas🔥🤘✌
