The attention that the audience gives is superb..............no selfies.........no phones.............living and listening in the moment ! This 67 yr old kid misses those days so much.
I think they are not bored but rather , they are absorbing the sounds with rapt attention.Also this is not really dance music. Glad you are still moving and enjoying music. Cheers @@daniellea5603
I picked up on him when Second Winter was released at about this time 71'. His version of Highway 61 revisited on that album is a life changer. Johnny explains in the liner notes of the original Vinyl, that they only had enough new material at the time to record three sides of the double album. The fourth side of the double album is like a black mirror, no tracks. A piece of collectible magic.
Jeez, Johnny goes back to Woodstock. The REAL Woodstock in '69. Before that actually. Johnny just didn't have a big time label behind him, I guess. Johnny certainly wasn't underrated by anyone IN the Industry. Fantastic slide player! None better!
@@daryljay7057 When he was finally discovered, he signed a huge contract with Columbia Records...for 600 grand....the largest amount given to a new artist, at that time. All things considered, Winter somehow survived to be 70, while being seriously addicted to alcohol, and also heroin!....He looked like Death itself, from the late 1970s onward...so incredibly skinny....but clearly was still a man possessed when he went onstage. I am now 78yo, and was so fortunate to see many of the all-time great guitarists at their peak, back in the day. My picks are: Hendrix, then Beck, then Winter, then Jimmy Page, and later on, Stevie Ray Vaughn. They were all so amazing!
Way back in about 1969/70, at a little club, Tommy asked my buddy and me if he could sit at our table to wait till it was time for his band to go on. He said his band was called "Winter". We had no idea who he was. Or Johnny. When Johnny walked in, thru the front door...what a sight! He had a girl on his arm. I'm sure he was awesome, but I can't remember. We were just young teens and had nothing to compare it to. It was at a little hippie type club here in Houston called Love Street Light Circus. 😎 😻✌
He was lightning fast but tasteful, never a note out of place. According to Mike Bloomfield Johnny was "the baddest m**********r on the planet." Agree, none better
I can’t get over this. I can’t believe I didn’t know who this was until just now. I’ve never heard anything like Johnny winter. I’ll probably never stop listening to him now
Johnny Winter played this number on Woodstock and you can find it here on UA-cam. I dont know How old you are but it is amazing that you havent heard about him before.
Saw Johnny in the mid seventies. The roadies guided him through the amps to the stage all junked out ,bursting into still alive and well. I saw him 3 times 🌞rest easy ,you earned it 🌞
saw him play neaR hyannis ma late 70s a man asked if he could compliment the way my woman was dressed. I told him to ask her., He did. She OKed it he complimented her she smiled we went in to hear great bluesrock, Does this sort of friendliness exist now?
@Shukin Andjivin Sounds like 6. I've seen pics of him with this guitar. It's hard to see in this video, but listening to it, there's no other strings ringing than the typical 6.
I think he used the guitar set up like that because it lent itself to his style. He often used a thumb pick and used his fingers to pick strings so a wider fret board would be the logical thing to use.
Awesome footage! This where UA-cam serves a wonderful purpose. Being able to see the likes of Johnny Winter and his bands, Rory Gallagher, Alvin Lee, James Marshall Hendrix, Stevie Ray and many more sharing and show their God Giving Talents. As much as their names are the face of their music, all the supporting bandmates that help bring it all together for us/me I give thanx of gratitude for their contributions and helping provide the joy of listen and memories of live music for our souls. I have seen many but did not get to see them all Gone but never forgotten!
64 here, you ever get a chance to see him? Just lost my twin brother and one of the best memories I have is him calling me 3 hrs away at 5 pm Hey!, Johnny Winters is playing at Baitys Music Hall tonight. Needless to say I made it with 10 min to spare.
@@curtismoffMy friend what is trapped other than the zygote the mother and the father the quadriplicity and the light caught in between the stem cells the quadruphonic so there's no such thing as the white man the black man or the blue man but for sure there is the blues man because we all love you and we all bless all of us man! And yes amen if you disagree want your guns with 38 specials and start aiming!
I have been playing slide for 38 years. It has to be said that no one plays like this. It is part blues, part rock, part creative explosiveness but at the end of the day can not be categorized. So much feel, power, and raw expression. We can copy but there will never be another like him.
I've seen Johnny play live a few times, and it is heavily dependant on the audience what he plays; bluesrock, or pure rock'n'roll, or even jazzrock, or any color and mix of these. Who's also almost that versatile, is Eric Burdon; also seen often. I'd have loved to have seen them both together on stage!
Just as at Woodstock for this song, Johnny does a seamless change to slide without missing a beat. He was up there with the best of them. This particular trio format worked really well for him and was an enduring one. They were a great outfit.
I was fortunate enough to see Johnny Winter on several occasions unfortunately one of the last gigs was here in Dallas right before he died. David Westapher
This is his Song! Johnny wrote & played at Woodstock. That made him a 🌎 famous Living Legend! Born to play the blues! 🎸A True Blues Man! His destiny! R.I.P. ✝️ 🙏
I’m a Johny come lately...im 47, started listening to johny when i started playing guitar, late 80’s-90s, none of my friends had ever heard of him. Shame I never saw him live but my brother in law saw him in the early 70s, johny winters And, he said it was the loudest concert he ever attended and they actually left early because it was killing their ears. Ive heard other people say he was super loud live. Peace.
I don't thing anyone every played bottleneck better than Johnny Winter. The man played the blues with incredible feeling, soul, and great creativity and technique, while being totally authentic. But even though they call it the blues, I was never sad listening to him play, in fact, quite the opposite. If I was down or low energy, hearing him play always brought me up. He always played with great energy and spirit. He totally loved playing the guitar and showing people how happy he was to perform.
@Mark Hunter Mark, Duane's compilation contrasts with Johnny Winter. Muscle Shoals Session shared with countless artist. Delaney @ Bonny 'Better come into my kitchen, 'cause it's Goin to be Rainin outside ' ... many thanks to producer & manufacturer of those 2 discs.
Saw Johnny a few years before his passing in a small club in Phoenix. The place was packed and way over fire marshall limits I am sure. He said "Thank you kindly" and then played and sang for over an hour and a half sitting down. A force of nature and I consider myself blessed to have seen him live.
I saw Johnny, Uncle John and Tim several times in the early 70's at the Boston Tea Party an intimate venue near Fenway Park when Second Winter was released. I was completely mesmerized maybe a little stoned.
saw Johnny at the Grand Theater in Ellsworth Maine before his passing...they wheeled him out on stage but he had all the fire he always had, what a remarkable show from him!. i teared up 'cause i remembered how strongly his music hit me as a kid in 1968...
@@joelnall5882 I like Rory, but when I see Johnny winter playing there is something else I think, less singing, definitely more technique with 12 strings, bottleneck, he play the guitar like no one else, except maybe SRV and RL B.. but big respect to Rory
By this time Johnny and Edgar had about 10 years of road work behind them in their cover band. they played road gigs in the early to mid 60's until Johnny found his direction.
I had the priveledge of seeing this master at a small club, maybe 200 in attendance. I was blessed to be no more than 20' from him. A memory I'll never forget.
I had a VERY similar experience. I pushed my way through the crowd right to the front and got some AMAZING pictures. I have a great framed photo of Johnny with my ticket stub in it.
Had the same experience in a place I n Long Island NY, where I met him. His fingers reminded me of spiders running on neck of guitar!! Damn he was Amazing 👏 😍
Same. With my pops. Two or three years before Johnny passed on. We even got to meet him after on the bus with his band! Forever one of my favorite memories to snap a picture of my Dad with his favorite bluesman.
One of the top 5 Rock/blues guitarists of all time, easily. Johnny Winter captured live is an album I listen to virtually every day. Should be in the R/R HOF based on guitar skill alone.
A very underrated artist in Britain. I've been listening to him since the seventies since "Second Winter " came out. The double album with only three sides on it. Boy he was a master of finger picking. I liked his version of Highway 61 better than Dylan's original. But in it's own era of the seventies I think his best album and best band was "Johnny Winter and Live ".Rick Derringer and Johnny seemed to be made for each other. The central guitar break when they are playing off each other in "Mean Town Blues" is phenomenal. I suppose you must be into the guitar to appreciate it though.
Well I'm into the Bass, but Johnny will always be part of me since I bought the album "Johnny Winter Captured live" and then saw him with his brother Edgar back in the 70's at Anaheim Stadium, on the ZZ Top tour along with Blue Oyster Cult . I was hooked!!
Johnny was concerned about the sound quality on “Second Winter” being compromised so they added the 3rd side to spread out the tracks . That was the story I heard back then. I can think of so many albums that suffered from squeezing too much music on each side. Great video!
I don't think there are very many in the blues/rock genre that had complete command and mastery of the guitar like Johnny did. In his prime he was a sight to behold on stage live, he always brought everybody to their feet.
All anyone ever talks about today when it comes to blues is fuckin' SRV! But how many of them know of Johnny winter? And yet he brought slide guitar into rock guitar!
I saw all the great guitarists in their prime - Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Pete Townsend, Ritchie Blackmore, Tony Iommi - Johnny Winter was right up there with all of them.
The very first concert I went to was Johnny Winter, Brownsville Station, James Gang, I don't really know how many concerts I saw after that one. But it will always be the greatest one, I really enjoyed watching him and Ricky Derringer play off each other, many years later after I got married I took my wife to see Johnny, several times, she grew up on country music. She had never been to a rock concert, she loves her rock and roll now.
Saw him live at Pirates World, Ft. Lauderdale, FL in the early 70s. That concert became an album and rightfully so. Winters killed it. RIP, Johnny, and thank you most kindly for the music.
HAEUPTLING, I like him for his Christian approach to 'she wants more money than I can provide' blues, his explaining this budget problem to our America. About 1976 drive cah a long distance to Akron; Ohio. He had a stool up on stage; didn't play guitar at all, if me mem. serves me right. Just kindly & quietly spoke to audience. Guess these record with pics beyond studio session.
@@anthonydavella8350his singing is fine for blues. His mic is to hot because TV and whatnot. His vocals are louder than his guitar. I doubt johnny would've wanted it mixed like that
I saw Johnny many times. I called him "Spider Fingers" He had perfect hands & fingers in form and style. When that guitar starts, you know it's Johnny. His tone, timbre stood out amongst the 1-4-5 chord progressions of the day. And his distinct staccato was and still is the John Dawson Winter trademark. We miss you Johnny. RIP brother, from an "Old Dog"
I love that. John Dawson Winter... then and now immortal. Just a teen of no means won his albumn and it became my joy and yes I can dance to it...still.
Took my 18 year 24 year old son to see Johnny in 2008. He leaned over and said "Dad his has alien fingers!!!". I said something like, I don't think Johnny is from here. He was The Man on Guitar. Sometimes he just gets going so fast it's had to catch it all. RIP...
I saw him three times. Once in 1977 at the Hollywood Sportatorium with 38 Special on their first big tour, once at the London Victory Club in Tampa in the fall of 1984 and then seated at the Tampa Bay Blues festival circa 2006.
Thank you for this my 61st birthday present sir🎉Sharon from Ohio. Looking for Chris & Sarah snyder from canner st new haven Connecticut. I lived on Everitt st. Toads place was best❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
You're not kidding. He was one of a kind. He was unique had his own style not like the cookie cutter guitarists out there don't want to name names and insult anyone.. He's my fav of all time. RIP JDW
I heard Johnny on a late nite radio station and thought wow clean fast licks no distortion or gimmicks, went out and bought his first album and blasted it on my stereo and at the age of 12 my parents couldn't figure out what the hell i was listening too or why, all i said was this is it!!! JDW was and is the blues!!!
Johnny Winter Rocked out in the 60's and 70's I remember him well back then everyone in Chicago loved him , when he was live on stage his guitar riffs were awesome
It was Johnny Winter that moved me towards the Blues, what a great man & player he was. He was one of the men/women that took the Blues into mainstream music that we have today. God I miss him.
Yeah, he used to jam w/ Jimmy Hendrix & Billy Gibbons back ion the day.... One of the meanest white 12 bar slide players to ever exist in our modern day... Hats off the Johnny, the master from Tejas! Still Alive & Well!
Most of them would just be posing not a criticism but i can remember being at gigs like that at a young age and it was almost like shell shock 🤣🤣🤣 it wasn't until I could listen to the recording that I could fully take in what i was hearing great days ✌
When Johnny plays in full-tilt boogie mode, like few other artists (Canned Heat comes to mind), all you can do is sit or stand there in wide eyed amazement and quiver! I got to sit in and jam with him and his brother Edgar many years ago. A very memorable day that I'll never forget.
Oh hell yeah!! Lot of people don’t even know the capability of this man and his music .. Albano .. but a freaking crazy ass musician in the music industry
It was truly amazing, that this skinny, underfed albino genius lived to the age of 70,given his big problems with heroin and alcohol! He out lived some of his fellow great guitarists!
Heard this waaaay back in the late sixties on on of my favorite albums. "Johnny Winter And......Live". It also featured the amazing Rick Derringer on 2nd lead. He really benefited from Johnny's influence. The live version is even faster than this one if you can imagine that. You can't think "TexasBlues" without thinking of the great Johnny Winter!
I almost wore out that album. It just blew my mind! Later on, I saw Johnny at a small club and it was one of the best shows I ever saw and definitely, he was the best guitarist I ever saw. Infreakincredible!👍😎🎸🎶
Oh man, miss him. Great footage. Used to listen to the Johnny Winter And Live record cranked up to maximum volume. NOBODY could play the blues like him.
I saw Jonny the first time in Philly 1971,Philly again with Muddy Watters. Then one of his last shows in America in AC. The 71 show had the Allman Bros. with Duane as a warm up act. Life sure was good
I got to see Johnny 20 times in my life from February 1974 my first time until January 2010 oh how I miss him live I hope I never forget I was so lucky & I'm so thankful.
The attention that the audience gives is superb..............no selfies.........no phones.............living and listening in the moment ! This 67 yr old kid misses those days so much.
Agree 😊😊😊😊 best group of musicians y'all
They listen but seem bored. How come nobody dance? I always moved, still today, wether it was Blues, rock or any music
I think they are not bored but rather , they are absorbing the sounds with rapt attention.Also this is not really dance music. Glad you are still moving and enjoying music. Cheers @@daniellea5603

I think Johnny is one of the most underrated, overlooked guitarists in history

Leave it to Johnny Winter to use only 6 strings on a 12 string guitar and make it sound like 24. He was friggin' great. RIP bluesman.

One of the top 5 Rock/blues guitarists of all time, easily. Johnny Winter captured live is an album I listen to virtually every day. Should be in the R/R HOF based on guitar skill alone.
Absolutely adore this man’s playing. RIP.
Seen my main man Jonny over 30 times and I would see him 30 more times if I could.
What a God! Love from Sweden
@Edgar Winter 🥰🥰🥰 Love from Sweden
Noooobody could let out a "yeeeaaahh!" like JW. The man played with joy...
Edgar could match him easily. They sound exactly the same.
@@rockinredneck57 of course!..they were brothers!...
You should listen to the collaborative album he made with Muddy Waters, HARD AGAIN. Two greats, cranking out some very raw Blues!
@curbozerboomer1773 dood! That album is sooooo good.
Johnny was never underrated or underappreciated except by the pedestrians everybody else absolutely worshiped him rip Johnny 4:13
A very underrated artist in Britain. I've been listening to him since the
seventies since "Second Winter " came out. The double album with only three sides on it. Boy he was a master of finger picking. I liked his version of Highway 61 better than Dylan's original. But in it's own era of the seventies I think
his best album and best band was
"Johnny Winter and Live ".Rick Derringer and Johnny seemed to be made for each other. The central guitar break when they are playing off each other in "Mean Town Blues" is phenomenal. I suppose you must be into the guitar to appreciate it though.
Well I'm into the Bass, but Johnny will always be part of me since I bought the album "Johnny Winter Captured live" and then saw him with his brother Edgar back in the 70's at Anaheim Stadium, on the ZZ Top tour along with Blue Oyster Cult . I was hooked!!
Johnny was concerned about the sound quality on “Second Winter” being compromised so they added the 3rd side to spread out the tracks . That was the story I heard back then. I can think of so many albums that suffered from squeezing too much music on each side. Great video!
not underrated he got the biggest record deal of all time beating led zep Johnny got 600k in 1969 i believe
Saw JW and RD in a small basketball gymnasium in 1972. Lafayette Louisiana. What a show!
I'm 63...uncle introduced me to the wonders of Edgar and Johnny when they were young men and I was a kid...still listening.
I'M 72 and bought both first Johnny Winter ALBUMS [ate 70's!!
Took me back! Platforms & 12 String, Yeah go Brother!
12 string strung with 6.
I don't think there are very many in the blues/rock genre that had complete command and mastery of the guitar like Johnny did. In his prime he was a sight to behold on stage live, he always brought everybody to their feet.
do you know Roy Rogers? not the cowboy lol
He was the Man!
Everybody except the crowd in this video lol
@@briantaulbee6452 Noticed that- look like they're all doing red's, or immense quantities of strong Hasish-
@@williamroberts9902 I'm assuming it's their first time seeing a blues artist. The lack of enthusiasm is palpable and incomprehensible.
Uncle John Turner on drums...one of the baddest of them all.
That scratched an itch!!!! THANK YOU
All anyone ever talks about today when it comes to blues is fuckin' SRV! But how many of them know of Johnny winter? And yet he brought slide guitar into rock guitar!
Thank you! Agree!
Johnny was the best! God save him!
Love you Sir You ate F TIMELESS for this Connecticut Yankee 😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😂❤
I saw all the great guitarists in their prime - Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Pete Townsend, Ritchie Blackmore, Tony Iommi - Johnny Winter was right up there with all of them.
Absofreakinlutely!
i agree,,,i saw all those you mentioned also...includin RORY G.!
eric clapton isn't up there with johnny
@@leevonmanstein7459 drugs kill son
@@joebloggs4754 surprised clapton and richards are still alive son
One of a handful of guys I never got a chance to see. What a drag man! Thank goodness for these videos.
This is epic! He pulls out all the stops. Be hard to find a better example of how great he was.
The very first concert I went to was Johnny Winter, Brownsville Station, James Gang, I don't really know how many concerts I saw after that one. But it will always be the greatest one, I really enjoyed watching him and Ricky Derringer play off each other, many years later after I got married I took my wife to see Johnny, several times, she grew up on country music. She had never been to a rock concert, she loves her rock and roll now.
Saw him live at Pirates World, Ft. Lauderdale, FL in the early 70s. That concert became an album and rightfully so. Winters killed it. RIP, Johnny, and thank you most kindly for the music.
I was there too !
me too
i lived in miramar was only 6 in 1970 but cool wish i would have saw him What a player often copied never duplicated
The white man with black voice!.God bless you Jhonny!.My regards from Bogotá, Colombia South América!.
Progressive Blues Experiment, an all-time favorite album. Thank you, Mr. Winter. Just glad I got to see you right before you left us.
Undistributely one of greats during a time of greats. Love and miss Johnny Winter. Still listen on vinyl.
For all of Johnny's greatness as a live performer, he also made some truly timeless albums. Still Alive & Well...
HAEUPTLING, I like him for his Christian
approach to 'she wants more money than I can provide' blues, his explaining this budget problem to our America.
About 1976 drive cah a long distance to Akron; Ohio. He had a stool up on stage; didn't play guitar at all, if me mem. serves me right. Just kindly & quietly spoke to audience. Guess these
record with pics beyond studio session.
I was 14 years old when I heard his music. I’m 64 now. I was fortunate to see him live in the early 80’s he was awesome..
I saw him in the eighties and was still the best ever
Johnny Winter is a phenomenal blues guitarist.
but his singing grates my nerves. Wish he would have hired a singer
@@anthonydavella8350his singing is fine for blues. His mic is to hot because TV and whatnot. His vocals are louder than his guitar. I doubt johnny would've wanted it mixed like that
I mean no disrespect, just don't like his voice@@clayton5584
@@anthonydavella8350 go away
@@anthonydavella8350not, it's not true!
COOL !!!!!! THE GOOD OLD DAYS !!!!! ✌😜
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE GREAT MUSIC !!!

I saw Johnny many times. I called him "Spider Fingers" He had perfect hands & fingers in form and style. When that guitar starts, you know it's Johnny. His tone, timbre stood out amongst the 1-4-5 chord progressions of the day. And his distinct staccato was and still is the John Dawson Winter trademark. We miss you Johnny. RIP brother, from an "Old Dog"
I love that. John Dawson Winter... then and now immortal. Just a teen of no means won his albumn and it became my joy and yes I can dance to it...still.
A player that created and defined a class. Twelve string blues lead and rythym. Never again will we know this nasty joy.
Took my 18 year 24 year old son to see Johnny in 2008. He leaned over and said "Dad his has alien fingers!!!". I said something like, I don't think Johnny is from here. He was The Man on Guitar. Sometimes he just gets going so fast it's had to catch it all. RIP...
I saw Johnny a couple of years before his passing, he was seated but still kicking it. One of my all time favorites.
I saw him three times. Once in 1977 at the Hollywood Sportatorium with 38 Special on their first big tour, once at the London Victory Club in Tampa in the fall of 1984 and then seated at the Tampa Bay Blues festival circa 2006.
I see the sun raised and the sun set every day, which I'd see Johnny Winter and his band once ❤
HE WAS A TROOPER TO THE END - HE REALLY FINISHED STRONG ! R I P JOHNNY
Yessss Smokey and the bandit
Really regret not seeing him live when I had the chance
Thank you for this my 61st birthday present sir🎉Sharon from Ohio. Looking for Chris & Sarah snyder from canner st new haven Connecticut. I lived on Everitt st. Toads place was best❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This is an artist , a Bad ass legend
You're not kidding. He was one of a kind. He was unique had his own style not like the cookie cutter guitarists out there don't want to name names and insult anyone.. He's my fav of all time. RIP JDW
First concert , I'm in 7th grade 1973 -New Haven Colosseum Johnny headlines -10cc Opens-Loud as hell 12000 people -Last bastion of the 60"s
My first concert 1969 Johnny Winter. I was never that same.
Nice to see another version of mean town blues
Dude could play and sing!
I heard Johnny on a late nite radio station and thought wow clean fast licks no distortion or gimmicks, went out and bought his first album and blasted it on my stereo and at the age of 12 my parents couldn't figure out what the hell i was listening too or why, all i said was this is it!!! JDW was and is the blues!!!
I was fortunate enough to see Johnny and Edgar at the Denver Coliseum in the early 70's. What a show.
Back in the Days of long hair and moccasins this was the stuff to really watch!!!! Thank You!!!
Absolutely one of the best. He’s so full of tricks and licks it never ends. And I love the way he sings them too.
You are correct. I can only add, one of the absolute very very best!!
Johnny Winter Rocked out in the 60's and 70's I remember him well back then everyone in Chicago loved him , when he was live on stage his guitar riffs were awesome
It was Johnny Winter that moved me towards the Blues, what a great man & player he was. He was one of the men/women that took the Blues into mainstream music that we have today. God I miss him.
Johnny influenced so many musicians along the way. R.I.P Johnny, you are not forgotten.
We love you Johnny and always will. A true original...the best. 🎸
Johnny had such grace and sweetness and enormous talent all rolled into one. Great tune.
Grace,sweetness, and talent. That's the words I was looking for. Thanks mate. 🫡
Ladies and Gentlemen i present to you a young Mr. Tommy Shannon on bass....RIP Johnny Winter....a great Texas Bluesman....extra white on the slide....
Yeah, he used to jam w/ Jimmy Hendrix & Billy Gibbons back ion the day....
One of the meanest white 12 bar slide players to ever exist in our modern day...
Hats off the Johnny, the master from Tejas! Still Alive & Well!
Amen my bro (or sis) ;)
Johnny Is frikin awesome
Look how young this audience is. What a mind-blower for them to see Johnny back then, I envy them.
Dan Hugos thats exactly what i was thinking!!! I did not find out/see him until 1989....
Most of them would just be posing not a criticism but i can remember being at gigs like that at a young age and it was almost like shell shock 🤣🤣🤣 it wasn't until I could listen to the recording that I could fully take in what i was hearing great days ✌
When Johnny plays in full-tilt boogie mode, like few other artists (Canned Heat comes to mind), all you can do is sit or stand there in wide eyed amazement and quiver! I got to sit in and jam with him and his brother Edgar many years ago. A very memorable day that I'll never forget.
Oh hell yeah!! Lot of people don’t even know the capability of this man and his music .. Albano .. but a freaking crazy ass musician in the music industry
People like him only come along once in awhile and don't stay long enough!
It was truly amazing, that this skinny, underfed albino genius lived to the age of 70,given his big problems with heroin and alcohol! He out lived some of his fellow great guitarists!
I cannot imagine this world without Johnny....RIP Beautiful One...Thanks for being True to the Blues...you will never be forgotten....
The TEXAS blues from one hell of bluesman RIP JDW
Heard this waaaay back in the late sixties on on of my favorite albums. "Johnny Winter And......Live". It also featured the amazing Rick Derringer on 2nd lead. He really benefited from Johnny's influence. The live version is even faster than this one if you can imagine that. You can't think "TexasBlues" without thinking of the great Johnny Winter!
Was so lucky to see them at the Fillmore East ! Had never seen anything like it before , just a mind blower 😜
"My Own Fault" on the Live JW AND was imho the coolest Blues guitar playing ever - both Rick and Johny were truly magical on that cut
You hit it right on the button brother that Johnny Winter and live album from 72 is one of my favorite albums of all time
@@MopedMike The version of Jumpin' Jack Flash probably made the Stones take notice too! Johnny was truly one of a kind.
I almost wore out that album. It just blew my mind! Later on, I saw Johnny at a small club and it was one of the best shows I ever saw and definitely, he was the best guitarist I ever saw. Infreakincredible!👍😎🎸🎶
Oh man, miss him. Great footage. Used to listen to the Johnny Winter And Live record cranked up to maximum volume. NOBODY could play the blues like him.
Do you know of a live record, I think is called "Shaved Fish"?
feat.: Johnny Winter, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison.
🚀🏴☠️🎸 - _Michael_ _Winter_
Awesome spirit from another dimension of gifted talent. Hes in good company in heaven.
I saw Jonny the first time in Philly 1971,Philly again with Muddy Watters. Then one of his last shows in America in AC. The 71 show had the Allman Bros. with Duane as a warm up act. Life sure was good
Newport jazz fest 69 saw him jam with BB
I can't listen enough of this tune mean town rocks today as it did at woodstock
it's hard to believe anyone could even do that
I got to see Johnny 20 times in my life from February 1974 my first time until January 2010 oh how I miss him live I hope I never forget I was so lucky & I'm so thankful.
lucky you
I am a huge edgar fan but YES Johnny is in a class all his own
