I was lucky enough to see him 4 times, and meet him to thank him for his inspiration to pursue my own musical career....his autograph is one of my most prized possessions!
recognition from who? lot's of folks who recognize his talent around the world. not sure what that means, blues itself lost popularity for quite a while I believe.
@@tonyedd5326 I don’t think you realize the amount of music based on “The Blues”.The Blues is still immensely popular,it will never completely die.African Americans started it and from there it grew around the globe
@@josephfemoyer7218 Sure do. I meant the raw old timey blues like Johnny played A LOT, lost popularity and the genres that absorbed it became more popular, but that never diminished "recognotion" Johnny got, anyone who matters always recognized the phenomenal talet of the bony white boy. I think.
Johnny was the best. Tobacco Road is a classic. He was soul personified. I saw him in Charlotte around 95 when he was playing the headless Steinberger. Years later I was flying out of RDU and Johnny and his band were traveling from VA to SC to do a show. I had to go meet him and tell him how much I enjoyed his music. He was in a wheelchair and in decline but very friendly and gracious. I think he passed about a year or so afterwards.
When Jimi Hendrix was asked how it felt to be the best blues player in the world. His answer," I don't know ask Johnny Winter". That's all you need to know! RIP Johnny.❤️🙏✌️
Johnny was, is and always will be my favourite, Rory, Alvin, and Jimi were there amongst a few others. I believe Jimi's compliment was aimed at Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top
Killer sound Johnny was waaay ahead of all other white blues players The black blues greats accepted him as one of theirs First white to be inducted in the Blues Hall of Fame
My first JW show was in Kansas City KS about 2 months after Woodstock and it was such a mind-blowing show with Edgar and Johnny showing off their incredible rock, jazz and blues chops.
JOHNNY WAS THE BLUE,s AT IT,S BEST. HAD HIS DEBUT ALBUM ,WHEN I WAS 13 YEARS OLD, JIMI HENDRIX ,JEFF BECK,RICK DERRINGER, PAGE ,BLACKMORE, L. WEST, R. TROWER ,CLAPTON ,KIM SIMMONS,MAN WHAT MUSICIANS THEY ARE,J.WINTER IS AMAZING.🎸🔊🎼☮️😎 BOB.
This guitar work is so Johnny as I remembered it...his voice had a different character to it on this recording...photos present a wonderful journey Thanks!
Thank you for info (Dallas International Motor Speedway Festival in Lewisville, Texas, on September 1st 1969). but is 'You Done Lost Your Good Thing Now' (B.B. King).
About 20 years later I was living and working in Lewisville and saw the inevitable Caterpillar earth movers move on in on the site and turned into some corporate nightmare (like so much of N Texas prairie) and thought about Johnny and the music. Unlike so many guitar pickers at the time Johnny nicely in tune on that Epiphone here and on top form.
I figured out the fellow with Johnny that night was the drummer Uncle John Turner, Just very happy I got to share rare air with all of them that night, A Knight I'll Always Cherish!
Those were some great pictures many I have never seen especially the one with Johnny and the three groupies Johnny's birthday is coming up on February 23rd rest in peace Johnny Richard Randy Uncle John
61yr old from belfast (northern lreland) loved johnny for years has to be one of the best blues guitarist ever would have loved to have seen him live but thanks to u tube i can watch him at anytime rip
Stellar performances from a memorable and most beloved and highly respected Bluesmen quintessential troubadour. His strong bond and friendship with Muddy Waters is very heart warming. Reading your memoirs and love your photographs vintage clothing and wonderful hats like your guitar collection silver resonator and firebird guitar. Ambient Sound tout Ghost Eco reverberations and the Echo Chamber Roland. God bless Sir and family
Remember buying his first vinyl “The Progressive Blues Experiment “on the Imperial label.The early copies had a small poster in the sleeve,my friends ,many like me, musicians, thought this cat was from outer space.My only 2 comments were ,wait and listen and this gonna be big.Not many months after I read in the music trades that CBS ( Columbia) offeredJohnny $300,000 cash just to sign on.Reason I’m commenting is because you have a picture of him playing a Gib.Byrdland 350 T. Same as the small shot of mine in my ID shot. Very rare for him.Seen him too many times to mention.A true blues pioneer been a student since the beginning. Great job posting. Peace, Rocky
i think it was a 500,000 bonus for that contract with cbs records was the highest to that date ever i been a johnny winter fan since hearing my first cut by him in maybe 1970
How he is not in the rock hall is unreal. Joan jet is, public enemy and many others and he isn't , its mind boggling.the hall should be named the hall of music
@@arlenesheffield1136 ok thx , cause the stones , ten years after /alvin lee and canned heat all did blues before johnny.stones in the early 60,s at chess records with howlin wolf.regardless im a fan of johnny ,first time i saw him was 45 years ago.many more times till he passed
Saw Mr Winter and believe me my friend reminds me it's not Winter's met him in upstate New York had him sign "Ease my pain' which he was freaking amazed that I had it in perfect condition he couldn't believe it I got to hug him very lightly awesome awesome night This video has awesome pictures now I know where Slash got his hat style from
Never heard this before and I somehow thought I had heard all of Johnny's recordings. Johnny in concert was a truly unique experience. RIP Thank you for posting this . WOW
Saw Mr. JOHNNY " GUITAR " WINTER open the 25th. annual Blues Fest in Chicago, He played JOHNNY GUITAR first song had some people in the crowd singing along, Johnny had wire fire going on whole set very COOL !!! R.I.P.
Johnny knew no subtlety and he'd throw in the kitchen sink, but he'd wrestle the listener to the floor and pin you until you were forced to admit his virtuosity.
Had the good fortune Of living in Austin Tx And Juan loved playing Here.parks,cheap bars,concert halls the Armadillo World Hdq. Even if I tried I couldn't count the times I've seen the champ live. May the God's love & Bless THE MAN!!!
Always followed Johnny's career .I first herd of Him in 1967ish . My brother was into sunny boy Williams /Little Walter stuff , He mentioned JW and for me there was no looking back he was is brilliant .I have also seen him at least 5 times in UK . I have lots of LP.s & cds of him ,But never have i herd this session. what a fantastic recording . This is right up there with his best work . Crooky UK swansea
He set the bar real high early on, but never got the credit or notice from the greneral public that he really deserved. Guitar players know and owe him a lot...when I met him I told him that he was my inspiration since 1969...He said "Man That's Great"
I think he was a way better musician than either of them. Hendrix was very good, but no way is he the best guitar player. Clapton is in the same league, but Johnny was simply a guitar god. RIP
This Winter Blues tune may be thematically related to " I'll be right down at your buryin'" by Nick Gravinitis (sp?) a Janis Joplin songwrite also.Keep this Winter coming, Please.This may be from the sets with J.J. group at Boston Music Hall ,12/10/69. I also love the rare pic of Winter with The Red Gibson Firebird,which he used in open D,playing mostly in open E and A as he said.J.D.Winter lll ,2 28 44 to 7 16 16.Someone should post switched on Scarlatti Winter 8 1 69 at The Hollywood Bowl.Chris Young an old Fiddler of Albuquerque NM
I climbed walls and fences to sneak in and see JDW so many times. There is no Hall of Fame for this man that can add him. There was no better blues player Ive ever heard than Johnny. And this recording says it all. He wanted to be known as the bluesman and by the devil or god he was. With respect RIP Johnny you are missed
The photo at 8:00 reminds me of the fellow with Johnny when I met him in '69 at the Plantation House on 19th. and Guadalupe in Austin, could this be Paul Stone his manager at the time? Thank You for any help in this debate, as I remember The Fellow was a Big Man with that same hat but can't remember his name! Johnny was The Blues 24/7 Naturally, God rest his soul!
Sorry I gave myself a thumbs up, thinking someone was replying and I wish to say as a chance meeting briefly He is alive in all of us with every note made to help all to understand Real Texas Blues
Incredible. Srv is amazing but this is incredible. 1969.
Some of us actually got to expereicne Johnny live. Saying we were SO lucky is an understatement of the galaxy
I was lucky enough to see him 4 times, and meet him to thank him for his inspiration to pursue my own musical career....his autograph is one of my most prized possessions!
8x , my friend
Johnny Winter is hands down the most talented blues Guitar player ever to grace the stages of this USof A . 😂❤
I was so lucky to have seen many of his early performances in the South here in fla, Ga,Tex, and La.
Johnny never got the recognition he deserved. The man was a monster on guitar!
People who know what music is about will know Johnny was and is a legend
recognition from who? lot's of folks who recognize his talent around the world. not sure what that means, blues itself lost popularity for quite a while I believe.

He signed my "Nothin' But The Blues" album for me when I met him....it's my most cherished possession!
Mr Winter is one if not the coldest blues player of our time. He learned everything from the legends! This song is pure soul!!!🎶
SRV and all the others can’t hold a candle to Johnny. R.I.P. John Dawson Winter
No backing tracks, auto tune or AI music here - PURE TALENT! Johnny takes a back seat to absolutely nobody, past or present, and that's a fact
One of my all time greats. Not forgotten by this blues advocate and follower. “ Johnny Winter!”
Johnny was & is still the shit, his voice, his screams, & his guitar, RIP, thank you for all you shared with us.
When Jimi Hendrix was asked how it felt to be the best blues player in the world. His answer," I don't know ask Johnny Winter". That's all you need to know! RIP Johnny.❤️🙏✌️

Great quote...but it was Rory Gallagher he mentioned.

all right...right in the gut..love your blues Mr. Johnny...play that guitar and sing that blues in Heaven...love you my brother.
As many of the great Blues players Johnny has a great & unique voice.
I've been listening to JDW for a lot of years, seen him live at least 6 times, have never heard this before. Freaking awesome. RIP Johnny
Six times!!! You are one lucky guy.
I only saw him once. Those of us that saw him never forget
Wished I woulda made an effort to see him kicks ass
Is he playing with hollow body?
I'VE Sewn him about 200 times and he never played this song.
@@stevenrakett985 you saw him 200 times? I hate you 😂 lol.

That's saying something, considering where your from...👋😎👍
The man solely responsible for the "Gibson Firebird's" popularity!

I've listened to the rest and there has been some great ones Johnny was, is and always be head and shoulders above the rest. In my humble opinion

OMG
How could anyone have so much talent? I am surprised his guitar didn’t catch on fire .He is probably giving Hendrix lessons right now!
How he is not in the rock hall is unreal. Joan jet is, public enemy and many others and he isn't , its mind boggling.the hall should be named the hall of music
Totally agree...
I know that's right. Johnny paved the way for white blues musicians. I didnt know this until I saw a documentary about him. Many thanks Johnny.

A life in the BLUES... knew what he loved and became it... TEXAS Is different ⚠️👑
Thanks !! first time I've heard this one . This is the height in my opinion of Johnny's best !!
I enjoyed professor Johnny putting on that master class in the Blues!
Johnny was and still is the shit
You need a medal for putting this out superb

Johnny knew no subtlety and he'd throw in the kitchen sink, but he'd wrestle the listener to the floor and pin you until you were forced to admit his virtuosity.
"Knew no subtlety"
》》》What does that mean, he's a one trick pony, with no dynamics?
Beautiful and strange Johnny.!!a Angel of blues .! I ove .!

This sounds like that Epiphone Wilshire, he was playing live, around this period.
He played a gibson sg at this concert. Dallas texas 1969.

I thought that was you singing
simply overwhelming
Incredible.
One with the Instrument!
truly loved Mr. winter
Me too!
One of the top 3 best
Absolutely he should be in Rock Hall of Fame! Huge influence on guitarists , right behind Clapton and Hendrix, and in same league as SRV
