An exclusive series of Living Legends Music interviews with Johnny Winter. Part 1 of 5. Recorded on November 20th, 2008 at the Seawalk Hotel in Jacksonville Beach, FL.
Johnny Winter - Champion & Legend RIP
I produced a few albums for William Shatner and Johnny guested on one. Listening to his tracks solo’d just gives you chills. Amazing
Johnny was a great human being. He will never be forgotten. Rock on wherever you are! Rest in peace Johnny ✌✌❤❤🎸🎸🎸💔💔😭😭
Johnny was the best to play blues music.🎸🎸🎸
Sadly, for me, the only chance I got to see Johnny was an outdoor concert in Tulsa around 1980. He opened for ZZ Top; but he and his band played their whole set with only the stage monitors apparently on. Those of us sitting more than 100 feet from the stage never got to hear a note. Really sucked as he was the only reason I’d gone. I did stay for ZZ Top, and the sound guy obviously finally found where to turn the PA on because low and behold the stacks and stacks of speakers could produce sound- when power was turned on. You’d have thought someone would have let Johnny know that there was no sound out front so he could have waited until the issue was fixed. But, at least I got to share the same air as Johnny if only briefly. And years later I bumped into Edgar on the strip in Vegas at the Harley restaurant and got to shake his hand, get a pic with him, and chat a sec and he signed a menu for me. Both brothers so incredibly talented and so gentlemanly.
These videos are treasures
This interviewer is doing a great job at getting information out of Johnny. You can tell that he's not a big talker but everything you can get from this amazing wise old man is pure gold. R.I.P
He speaked through his guitar.
chais jo I agree. He does a fantastic job. Best interview with Johnny I've ever seen...well done
This interviewer let Johnny answer the questions completely before asking another. This is rare today. Bob Costas in his half hour show after Letterman was the same. Ask a question, let the guest answer completely, then ask another. I learned more about Johnny in this interview because of the interviewer's respect and nohow of the art of give and take in a conversation. Again, rare these days. Very refreshing.
Johnny was the coolest guy ever. Real down to earth
Loved johnny winter all my life!!! My favorite line up was johnny, randy jo hobbs rick derringer, and bobby caldwell!
Those "sad" songs made him the legend he deserves to be! I just saw him three times (not enough!) last week and he ripped it like never before and I've been following him since '71. JOHNNY IS THE BEST!!! Edgar too!
Love ya Johnny. Sleep peacefully.
Johnny was a smart, talented dude. I hack at guitar but don't know how they play at those tempos like Johnny Winter.
Lot's and lot's of practice. I played drums in the 70's and did nothing but practice if I wasn't working or sleeping. Wound up playing locally 40 years in bands until bursitis made me stop. So to you, PRACTICE, and practice more. God Bless
what a dear sweet human being - how precious is that
AWESOME!! Johnny is one of the best live shows I have ever seen. I've seen over 1000 live shows, of which Johnny is the one artist I've seen the most. I've seen him 35 times, and every show has absolutely knocked me out. I can't say that about anyone else, and I have seen some greats.....the most amazing artist ever!!! I want to thank you for getting this legend in an interview. I
Know these guys personally.. a total hoot. hard workers, believe in their music.. there will never be another set of brother's like these two.
I saw Johnny many times back in the day, and he was always excellent.
Amazing how JW could throw in those blazing 20-note-flurry-licks during a slow dirty blues or a slow cut boogie...with a thumb pick on top of it! If you listen carefully he's picking almost of the notes.; not many hammers or pulls. No tricked up rig, either. Straight into the amp with the treble cranked and the bass on 0; clean as can be. He used a chorus effect when playing slide...that's all. JW is one of those guitarists that comes around once every 200 years. Undoubtedly the most under-appreciated guitarist of the 20th century. Sadly, it took his passing for people to realize that he was truly one of the greats.
Absolutely correct!
@@ufafgd No question! Just super.
Johnny has always been very professional. when he walks onstage, hes there to play guitar, and he does that, till the moment he leaves the stage.
The legend himself !
Johnny is one of the greats .if he is not in the hall of fame they should be ashamed
I like the fact that he remembers who played on his first record,has good things to say about everything
Sure miss him. Anyone know what took him out?
God bless him.
What a classy, gentile, great guitar player. Too classy for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame I guess?
He would deserve a top shelf spot there.
You'd really have to like the blues to appreciate Johnny Winter.
Rock and Roll Hall is a bad joke!!
godspeed buddy jw gave us so much my high school hero every show i ever saw he burned the house down dubs in gainesville fla fox theatre in Atlanta another huge part of our lives peels away we will always miss you
I'am very happy that his mind comes back better and better every day.Some years ago you could not make this interview with him,he was totally closed.Jesus,it is really great to hear him talking again...
A fan always...love your guitar genius...ms
I wonder if he remembers playing with Burl Boykin on Clover Records back in 59? Well he did! I remember.
The album version of "Be carful with a fool" is some of the best blues ever!
At the time of his death Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones was listing to the first Columbia record over and over according to Bill Wyman the bass player. Be careful with a fool was the song that immersed be in the Blues For the Rest of My Life. Howdy from Dallas Texas
First time I saw him was on a late night RockPalast concert and ...wow...this guy looked and sounded mean, cool and not to mess with. Now this is the first time I see him in a interview and much much older and he strikes me as a sensitive kind guy, I probably missed out about him all these 25 years.
What a cool dude! Keep on rockin' Johnny!!
First saw J.W. in 1970 live (Royal Albert Hall) he was about 26 yrs old..i'd seen Hendrix there also but i found Winter's session absolutely mindblowing.
To this day i consider Winter one of the last real links to the Blues legends like T Bone Walker, Pee Wee Crayton .
His 1963 solo "Five After Four A.M" is still the finest slow blues instrumental i've ever heard.(pure T Bone Walker)
what a wonderful person. definitely inspired my chops from when i started playing
Amen to that brother. Hands down.
i remember hearing johnny winter and ,his careful with a fool wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you that is the song that turned me on to blues music, I bought his first album because I have heard good morning little schoolgirl a rocker. I became immersed in the Blues because of the first album on Columbia. Also at the time of Brian Jones death, Bill Wyman bass player for the stones said that was the album that Brian was crazy about it was listing to over and over. Howdy from Dallas Texas
Another guitarist to experience is.....Johnny Hiland......Check out his CD....."All Fired Up" ! Absolutely Amazing !
good people ,went to see him play many times
We lived in the red rancher kind of beside and behind the Winters back in Beaumont, there house was huge from what I remember, great folks! Always been huge fan! The McMahans!
WOW -- thanks! he plays the Gibson reverse firebirds -
It's great to see Johnny healthy & sober. I remember when he was so loaded he could barely talk and weighed about 90 lbs.

Best live album of all time: Johnny Winter And Live
Agreed!
RIP!
I stand corrected. I think the record they did then was called "Let Love Come Your Way".
Johnny belongs in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! Fans need to contact the people in charge and get a campaign going. Wanda Jackson and Run DMC but no Johnny Winter? What a joke.
I have to agree, had The Live album at about age 14-16, still have the original vinyl album, pretty scratched now. Was turned on to this music by a friends older brother, he was maybe 17-18 at the time. Along with Cream, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple..true musicians. Its too bad the kids today are not exposed to original music as the art it was and not this mass produced, computer generated, voice atlered stuff....
Didn't they do a record called "Hey Little Girl" in '59 or '60?
In my opinion Johnny was the best white blues player..Stevie Ray was great too but a little to
much Hendrix influence. Johnny definately had his own style.
Paper plants ,the smell of money ,God Bless.
this is so cool.considering the body of Johnnies work? and the enormity of it all? Hes just a soft spoken friendly Texas Bluesman.:)))))
Yeah, he was fifteen years old. I'm not familiar with what he recorded, though.
@shimokita2
I can only speculate, as I don't have all the info, but I suppose he may have had a stroke, weakening the muscle in the eyelid. The condition that I'm thinking of is called ptosis. He also has some problems talking, known as dysarthria, which also makes me believe he may have had a stroke somewhere.
I did't understand the part where the reporter asked winter when he made his first record. Was it with 15 ? sry for my english but I'm from germany
Yes he said he was 15 & i am sprry that it took sp long for someone to answe! ☮️
@pianoplayinfool
I don't blame him for not liking interviews..they always pick the wrong people to do the job.
@ledzeppthebest - I've been told he's blind which afflicts many albino folks... not a funny comment, cruel in my opinion
I'm going to expose myself to some bad smells so I can play better.
Lesson learned ... teach your kids the ukelele!
@msrbutch - could be... I've been told he's blind which afflicts many albino folks
@danielion999 I'll second that!!
Good ole Johnnny! I remember my folks coming home from a nightclub in Underground Atlanta, round 1966 or so, and Mom just wasn't too chipper. Said there was this pathetic albino boy playing sad songs. She told him he'd better get on back home to his mama, cause there was no way he'd make it with all that sad music. Few years later, he's touring with Johnny WInter AND, and my mom sees his picture and says, I know that boy! I said well come on to the show. Good thing he didn't listen to my Mother.
Why is his right eye shut?
~ I have always thought since was naturally cross-eyed and he had a stroke, it was to keep from seeing double. Just a guess.
He does not look comfortable doing interviews....a blues legend, hopefully he will be remembered for that.....
@lowbottomranch I respectively disagree. I don't think he could beat Stevie Ray Vaughn. But Johnny Winter is still one of the best.
But wouldn't it have been great to see these two in a blues duet somewhere? Correct me if I'm wrong and I'll stand as corrected.
JW had more balls that SRV. Love SRV but I'll take Johnny any day of the week.
