That medley is one of the greatest electric interpretations of original blues ever recorded. Mr Winter knew how to expand on something so simple as a Robert Johnson riff without losing the soul.
Great sound and stellar concert of one of the greatest artist of modern blues and rock and roll. Texas Rock- blues artist as good as anybody in that style.
Saw Johnny probably 30 times he was best in small clubs like Carpenters in Matunuck Rhode Island. He would rock the place past closing time. Got to meet him he was a very cool guy.Johnny Winter King Of Texas Blues RIP love you!
Getting goose pimples - because I was on this concert when I was 17. I was lucky that we lived only 40 mins by walking (by ourselves) from the venue. Remember well when I came back home in the early morning hours, nothing but the blues in my ears, lasting till today!
Nothing like the sound of Johnny on a Gibson Firebird. Always my favorite Rock / Blues sound. Johnny on that all White ‘64 V Firebird live with Floyd Radford on second guitar was enough to make you loose your mind.
As some people have already said in the comments, Johnny was a bit pretentious, but he brought the rock when it was wanted. I remember watching songs from this gig about 15 or so years ago and copying what i saw and heard. Now i am more mature and almost totally understand what i'm witnessing, good and bad, mind you. This concert has brilliance and pure punkiness too.
I have to laugh…Johnny Winter pretentious? Johnny was simply Johnny. He was an albino, brought up on the South Texas coast listening to the blue, what was then a traditionally black man’s music. Keeping in mind this was the 60’s, it is just mind blowing what he did.He dabbled in rock and roll, but he was a blues man through and through. He started sneaking into blues clubs in Texas as a teenager. These were blues clubs where white people did not generally go, but here is this skinny, very very white kid just wanting to play. Guess what…he was accepted. So, if you come out of the actual black blues scene, you are not pretentious, culturally appropriating or whatever. You are the real deal.
@@adub59 I know all about Johnny Winter because i used to try to play and sing like him. I gave up because it's too hard, but Johnny was talking down to the audience and acting like he was above them with his taste. That is the definition of pretentious to me. Thinking that you are superior because of musical taste/knowledge. Fuck that, it's all good music really and Johnny was awesome.
@@benjohnson4810 Ahh…my apologies. I just found the video and I admittedly, I have not watched this entire concert yet or read all the comments. I did see him in Texas the 70s and I saw him towards the very end. His biggest issue was his drug abuse, which really damaged his career.
@@adub59 No worries, sir. I apologize if i'm coming across very coarse. These musicians are just people and i love honesty and truth. Phoniness is what i don't like. God bless you and enjoy this concert, it is GREAT!
As I understand it, he really hated the rock image and everything. He just wanted to play blues, as he makes clear in the video. But his management & record company decided, and sold him as a rock & roll act, and had him do that. I have no idea what freedom he had when recording or how much of it he's complicit in. I've seen people say a lot of his drug abuse came from the stress around this artistic conflict. I feel like the way he plays on the "rockers" here is almost like an artistic act of protest, over-playing every lead riff or cliche 10 feet into the ground. I feel bad because I love everything from Live Johnny Winter And through John Dawson Winter III, which I suspect are his most rock & pop albums, but I imagine he hates those.
Reminds me of Ruby's on a Sunday when they let the newbies and others dance. They had free beer. While it lasted about 3 beers. 30 yr ago in Huntsville Al.
Incredible slide guitar in rolling and tumbling , first record of Johnny. Johnny only can be compared him with Hendrix or Bloomfield, an encyclopedia of electric guitarr
Seen Johnny at Tulsa ok. in the mid 70,s with zz top. J.w was sitting in a chair while entertaining. I was a fan of j.w. even though before j.w. started, he said hello Florida, a band member corrected j.w. that he was in Tulsa. He played his butt off. Was a moment in music history, I will not forget.
The one. The only. The always awesome Johnny Winter. I was up against the stage in '72 in Landover Md when somebody next to me threw their pet rat on him. He saw it in real time but was too busy with his lead to care. The rat ran off his shirt and to points unknown. Later that year George Wallace bumped into Arthur Brenner nearby.
I see that you encountered Winters in his prime, i actually met him in the 80s and well he was in bad shape by then, im not going to say much more, but placed him in a chair and he was like putting a cape on Superman
Saw a number of good JDW shows beginning in the mid-70’s. Also saw Jon Paris (playing bass here) sporadicly at Dan Lynch’s (the long gone but not forgotten NYC blues bar at 221 Second Avenue, btwn 13th & 14th). Always enjoyed both artists! When Paris gigged at Dan Lynch’s he played guitar.
I thought Paris was a great fit for Winter, and Johnny seemed to truly enjoy playing with him. He probably was the longest tenured (?) of Johnny's sidemen, late 70's - early 90's, when Winter was in his prime. Saw them a couple of times during this period, and they cooked. This must of been one of their first tours, as they seem to still be working a few things out. Good stuff!
@@pualdupvandoff8199 there is a video interview with Jon posted somewhere on YT. He played guitar well and sang (I think) when I use to see him leading his own bands on weekends at Dan Lynch’s. It’s always a surprise to see a bass player playing guitar because I tend to forget that bass is a second instrument for lots of guitar players. I remember him playing a Fender. A white one with a big Bass (fish) sticker on the lower bout. Don’t remember if it was a Strat or Tele
Ich habe es '79 noch live und in voller Länge gesehen. Der Kameramann ist ihm in die Katakomben gefolgt und ist ohne Anklopfen in die Garderobe gegangen. Mit laufender Kamera und an Johnny arbeitete gerade ein Groupie im knieen.... That''s Rock'n'Roll
Als Kind haben wir immer gewitzelt, wenn der Johnny mal stirbt müssen wir ihm die Hände separat totschlagen, das seine Hände sonst wahrscheinlich aus dem Sarg wieder herauskommen und er einfach weiterspielt. Er ist dann später trotzdem noch in Bülach wo ich wohne, relativ ruhig eingeschlafen. Auch mit seinem Bruder Edgar hatte er ein paar interessant musikalische Experimente gemacht. RIP
An excellent performance, but I was less than enthralled with his in-between comments about the audience. It's hard to tell from this, but if the audience didn't like the blues numbers, he didn't make things any better by making cracks like volume rather than quality (before JJF) or hoping that one person might understand the blues. A lot of this seemed to be in his head, but it didn't help matters to insult your audience or to suggest that he was slumming it by playing rock'n'roll. I'm sure there were plenty of people who spoke enough English to understand that their taste was being dissed.
And then, Winter didn’t waste his life away on drugs like Hendrix did. What a waste dying in his late twenties. Why all of the hype about Hendrix? A brainwashed public that’s what that adds up to.
Johnny Winter ...A musical treasure of the blues and rock and roll!!!
Almost as good as BTS
Such a great Performance !! Seen this on Dutch TV must have been 22 years old then 😅 Drummer was great too. Good old Johnny RIP 😢
Johnny Winter in my hometown Essen as a guest long ago almost half a century

Johnny was a blues legend and nobody i mean nobody sounds like John Dawson Winter. Period!
@@ChrisFoster-m8t That is true. He had a distinct, immediately recognizable sound
John Dawson Winter III. Lol
@@timarb5177 Got that right.
Johnny at his best.

Johnny always a treat to watch play. So effortless, like he was pre ordained to play Texas Blues.
JOHNNY B GREAT 🎸👍👍✌
What a great upload ,I enjoyed that very much
Jhonny Winter Great legend

Ach Gott was waren das für tolle Zeiten 🤘
gab einige gute bspw. Rory Gallagher

...Greatful Dead, Paul Butterfield, Blues Band etc.
This was a great story and of course the music is fantastic! Thanks for the post
Pure magic
I saw him in concert in the 70s😊
More great music happened in the 70's than before or since!
That last hour is just friggin spectacular! Slow role to a flash!
"Johnny Winter" the way I remember him, playing a FireBird w/ banjo pegs. "Jon Paris" on bass guitar is rock solid.
Jon Paris on bass was great!
An outstanding musician rock blues guitar master❤
Master Winter Helped to Make Progressive Blues a Reality !,
But Always Kept a Good Foothold in Traditional Folk Blues!
Nothing like the sound of Johnny on a Gibson Firebird. Always my favorite Rock / Blues sound. Johnny on that all White ‘64 V Firebird live with Floyd Radford on second guitar was enough to make you loose your mind.

Thanks thanks thanks!!!!
The Greatest Slide player ever.

It seems that Marco Minnemann saw Bobby Torello when he was a child.
It wouldn’t be the seventies without the coiled guitar cable.😂
Blues don't get any better than John Dawson Winter lll .😊

Man I like the flanger sound in his rock and roll songs
I think he is using a phase shifter that is built into the amp . But, I agree I love that sound
Curt contains father
Sued him!
Owns "Paramount"
now.
Go Jeff!
Still playing "Dust in the wind"?
I miss my street friend "Jeff'
