Highway 61 l saw him at the Majestic in Dallas right before he passed away,l had seen him many times but that night we knew he was still a BADASS FROM BEAUMONT TEXAS !
Old and broken, really I am 73, been listening to music since 1956, when I saw Elvis on TV. I have worked in the music business. I am a blues historian. I have seen Johnny music times, beginning in the 70s with Rick Derringer. His Progressive Blues Experiment album in 1968 is one of the best slide albums of all time. He could play and sing like No one else. Everybody gets old, but I would have paid to see Johnny that night. Have some respect dude. Why isn't Johnny, Link Ray, and Dick Dale in the hall of lame. I KNOW ITS KIND OF HARD TO TELL. BUT I AM STILL ALIVE AND WELL. PEACE BEEFHEART
Exactly these commentators talking crap on Johnny because he’s old and couldn’t ever play as good as Winter in his hay day. No respect to true talented musicians
I've been a fan in New Zealand for many years, johns6362, am also a Blues historian. We exist, with old vinyls, down here. Loved Johnnie's work with Derringer.
Just as well cos JW is all over the place! I saw him on this tour in the UK and it was really sad to see how much he had deteriorated and I’m sure that later on this tour he passed away - RIP Johnny Winter.
1970, my 2nd concert, Johnny opened for Steppenwolf, Johnny had Edgar on drums that night, and Rick Derringer on guitar ,WOW, a young Johnny was all over the stage, I was knocked out!! But not hurt, and a Johnny Winter fan for life!! RIP JOHNNY 🕊🕊
Hace 45 a 50 años que no volví a escuchar a JOHNNY WINTER.... Acabo de escuchar este recital en vivo donde JONNY demuestra que está más que INTACTO....QUÉ BESTIA...QUÉ MAESTRO...QUE GENIO.... ME HABÍA OLVIDADO DE LO QUE ES LA MÚSICA ENSERIO...JONNY SE ENCARGÓ RE REFRESCÁRMELO. ÍDOLO...GENIO...GRACIAS. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I went to see Johnny in 1982 at The Playpen, Wildwood Crest,N.J. on a weeknight,seats only show. The place was half empty and I danced on top of my seat the entire set all alone. At the end of the night a beautiful young Lady walked up to me and handed me keys to her sports car and asked me to take her back to her hotel. I was so happy to serve her.
6:00 It's a shame. He's a wreck. I wish him a good life for the last of his months. I'm deeply impressed what he's playing for us. Thank You, Johnny Winter.
my only complaint is Johnny isn't playin his reverse neck 24.75" scale Firebird. Nothin like that tone and the same with his Fender 12 string, oh yea! Paul Nelson - spot on. Its cool these dudes would help Johnny close out his career. Rock on Johnny
Johnny was just a shell of his former self here. Anybody who loved him and his place in blues guitar history can at least be honest about it. I saw Johnny many times over the years starting in the mid-1970's, and he played well until about 1998-1999, when I noticed he had several bad shows in a row. He was not on his game but still played reasonably well. The following year he couldn't stand up; had to be escorted to a chair like here. And then he played...like a drunken amateur. I thought it was a joke...but it wasn't. He could not play. Something happened, and whatever it might have been was never revealed. I suspect he might have had a stroke, but whatever it was, it crippled his playing. He was never remotely the same. Never went to see him again because I didn't want to see him like that ever again. Johnny recovered some of his playing ability, but he was only a shadow of himself for the rest of his days. I'm very thankful I saw him so many times when he was in good form, but this video displays how much he suffered - and how much his fans loved him. I for one could not bear to watch...
Saw Eric Sardinas open for Steve Vai in Westbury, NY back in 2005. My niece was learning guitar at the time. Eric was hanging outside the venue and I asked him to sign his CD with encouraging words for my niece. He gladly obliged with a big smile. Totally chill guy. I hope he's doing well. Rave on Eric!!!
Paul Nelson did a great job there! His guitar playing is very precise and his technical skills are good enough being the leader of his own band. I would play second guitar/rhythm guitar in it if he would ask me ;P ;P
Johnny was legally blind due to health issues by this time in his career. Notice he never looks at the fingerboard? Excellent blues voice and better licks than most of his younger contemporaries I say. His original power trio was the model for the Jimmy Hendrix Experience too. I could go on but the fact is there’s few who had a career like this guy for as long and keeping it real. He was one of the legit founders of the electric blues and in my opinion still one of the greats in his latter years.
Johnny Winter is the blues. Could be your life is falling apart, everyone has turned their back on you, your terminally sick and Johnny Winter will fucking throw a party anyway and it'll be the best damn party you ever went to
This is sad, should have put down his guitar years before. Rescued by great musicians. Saw him in Oslo, it was tragic, he did not wake up and played on beat before the last couple of tunes. He was so far out that day. Bad habits cost money and it needs to be earned some how but this is just tragic...
It's tragic that Johnny passed away 4 years later . Sometimes musicians , too, have a bad day. He released so many masterpieces that every real Blues Fan should fall on his knees and thank him for that .. even when he wasn't playin' every song perfectly , in his older days live on stage.
Das Konzert 1 oder 2 Jahre später in Bonn war ,zum Glück, viel besser. In Unkenntnis wie schlecht es ihm wohl wirklich ging, wollte ich mir dann seinen Leverkusener Auftritt ansehen. Ehrlich gesagt war ich wirklich geschockt: dass man das Konzert dann auch noch medial vermarktet, kann man vielleicht als Dokumentation rechtfertigen, empfinde ich aber schmerzhaft respektlos gegenüber dem Künstler. Und das schreibe ich nur aus einem Grund: Weil ich Johnny Winter verehre!
Puh, bei allem Respekt für diesen großen Musiker habe ich echt Schwierigkeiten mir das anzuhören. Der Gitarrensound den er gewählt hat passt für mich leider nicht zur Musik. Zum Spielerischen muss man nichts sagen. Ich denke dass ich noch nie einen Auftritt eines halbwegs renommierten Künstlers gesehen habe, der spielerisch über die gesamte Dauer des Konzerts nur daneben haut. Über die Gründe möchte ich nicht spekulieren, ich denke da hat jemand den Absprung verpasst. Als zahlender Gast wäre ich vermutlich einigermaßen sauer und hätte mir das auch nicht bis zum Ende angetan…
@@paulzendo6079 ich sag ja… für mich… finds gelinde gesagt furchtbar! Aber wenn’s jemand anderem gefällt ist’s doch umso besser. Krampf ist das sicher nicht.

Nobody says anything about the backup band. They are great and tight. Especially the intro. Outstanding guys.

Those first couple minutes are one of the best demos for Lace Sensor pickups on youtube.
Always on top of his game, his music, really, it was life to him. Blessings, thank you, Johnny

Paul Nelson did a great job there! His guitar playing is very precise and his technical skills are good enough being the leader of his own band. I would play second guitar/rhythm guitar in it if he would ask me ;P ;P
If I do have a Sun Johnny deserves credit. Last names back then were small talk.
I love his third degree albums and I still do
Ich war da! 2. Reihe mit meinem Vater. Toller Abend :)
Todo lo que lo vimos recordamos a ese pistolero de melena alvina de Texas junto a Jimmy Hendrix 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❣️❣️❤️❤️👍👍👍✌️✌️👌👌😝😝😝
Der Meister wird nicht vergessen,Hey Hey,my,my
NO.1!!!!!!!!!!
Quand il joue Highway-61 beau clin d'oeil aux Stones et à Hendrix ! ;-)
Arte Concert 👍🤘☮️
Super concert ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏🎼🎵🎶🎸🎤🥁🍀✌️🇮🇱👌
The interview is great. Sadly he couldn't play anymore as the hero he was.
Watching this I have to say, Paul Nelson plays like a wonderful guitarist, Johnny Winter plays like an old and broken guy who should be at home
Jep, sad to watch.

He's neither too old nor is he broken . The only sad thing is that you never make it , believe me . But Johnny did !
Muito legal, 👏👏👏🎼🎼🎼🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Da würd ich doch gerne wieder E Gitarre spielen. Schön zu sehen.
