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
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. ✝️ 🙏
@@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 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
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 🌞
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.
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!
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.
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 👏 😍
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...
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.
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.
Awesome footage! This where TH-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!
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 was introduced to this song when it was covered by Dave Fiester & The Groove Monsters during an early 90s gig in Cocoa Beach. Dave was once in the Henry Paul (of The Outlaws) Band, and he had tremendous respect for those that came before him. In fact, when The Henry Paul Band appeared on American Bandstand in 1982, Dick Clark asked each member of the band who were their musical influences. Several mentioned the Allman Brothers, as did Dave. He also mentioned...Johnny Winter. RIP Big Dave Fiester (1953-2005). Central Florida misses you to this day.
@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.
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
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
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.
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 ✌
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 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...
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.
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.
@@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 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.
When I was growing up in the 80's, learning how to play guitar, you'd have to search far and wide to find a recording like this. Now everything is a search away on the internet. Love it.
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!
Be Careful with a Fool. Johnny could play the blues (and rock). Saw him 4 times live. I'm 65 and got into him when I was a teenager. Lay Down Your Sorrows is still one of my favourite all time songs in this world.
Dear Norm , I live in Paris (France) and I am almost 60 years old and I heard this song for the first time when I was 16 and I use to listen to this and others stuffs of Johnny until today because Johnny Winter was just the best in blues and rock . He will always ALIVEforever and ever. Peace.
Saw JW first time in '73- Still Alive and Well tour (concert bowl-Maple Leaf Gardens-height of his r'n'r fame). Then touring the Winter 88 album in a bar in London (Ontario that is) Then in the 21st century in another bar here in London. He was sick then and sat the whole time. Been into Johnny's great blues since I was about 13 and I'm 65 now. The blackest-sounding white man ever, imho. (Capt. Beefheart a close second).
His solo on Be Careful with a Fool is my all time favorite guitar solo-hard to beat. He was a really good singer too. Listen to him singing Drown in my Own Tears...It will knock you down.
@@roszela1 Yes, I've always felt his guitar solo on Be Careful With A Fool is one of the greatest studio guitar solos ever recorded. I also think he owns the greatest live recording of a guitar solo. From the Johnny Winter And Live LP / 1971. I'ts My Own Fault.
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!👍😎🎸🎶
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
Same. 67. The audience shots took me back there. We were a very fortunate generation.
Tripping on acid bro….
I think Johnny is one of the most underrated, overlooked guitarists in history
This is why there is TH-cam! Thank goodness someone thought to record this!!
Johnny Winter could play the f**k outta the blues. None better!
RIP
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
What about Mr. Rory Gallagher?
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. ✝️ 🙏
69 here and still listening to him R.I.P. Johnny

76 here and still listening. Still have his first albumn, Johnny Winter, on vinyl. Lucky for me I got to see him a few times too.
This is one of the greatest videos on yt - nobody played like Johnny Winter, and here's he's so simple, smooth and spirited
Best concerts I ever saw were Rory Gallagher and Johnny. Both were high,high energy performers and imo 2 of the greatest guitarist ever.
i think SRV took a lot from Johnny I love that growl in his voice truly a bluesman he was a brother trapped in a white boy he had soul for days
The Woodstock version is also Johnny Winterific 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I agree with you 100%. They are the two best ever!!!!

Man I can't get enough of Johnny's slide playing. One of a kind
For sure on that.
I think he gets it because of his voice
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
@@davewestapher lucky! He is a monster guitar player. He seems to get overshadowed by other Texas blues musicians but he was a force of nature
When I hear johnny scream rock n roll, get ready to be blown away!
I'm "only" 70 and this sounds great. Too much talent, now in heaven.

Good one,,,After you wrote that I did recognize his younger self
Yes he was sir.
Just when you think this can´t get any sweeter, Johnny begins sliding

Johnny has been overlooked as one of the greatest guitarist ever. He and his brother Edgar are never talked about.
Not true! He and Edgar are treasured all over the world!
This is epic! He pulls out all the stops. Be hard to find a better example of how great he was.
Im 62. First album I ever bought wss Johnny Winter And Live. I wore it out.
MY FIRST TOO, I'M PROUD TO SAY! BOUGHT IT AT THE AIR FORCE ACADEMY! OH, IM 62 ALSO!
Saw JW and RD in a small basketball gymnasium in 1972. Lafayette Louisiana. What a show!

My first concert 1969 Johnny Winter. I was never that same.
We love you Johnny and always will. A true original...the best. 🎸
I saw Johnny a couple of years before his passing, he was seated but still kicking it. One of my all time favorites.

Noooobody could let out a "yeeeaaahh!" like JW. The man played with joy...
Edgar could match him easily. They sound exactly the same.

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. 🫡
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.
@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.

I really did your words and approve of your words they would like to give a thumbs up but I can't because the 144 is right
Johnny was the best! God save him!
when Johnny gets going,hold on to something!
Johnny Winter at his absolute best 😎🎸🇨🇦
Great footage of Johnny doing what he does best - and that is RULE.
You're not kidding my friend
Always thought he kicked ass as a singer too.
One of my favorite Johnny Winter tunes.
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
Johnny in his prime...Seen him twice. Once with And in 1970
Mesmeric. Johnny Winter was the real deal. Unbelievable stuff.
One of a handful of guys I never got a chance to see. What a drag man! Thank goodness for these videos.
Excellent footage. This guy wS a musical genius.
Awesome...(RIP)...!!!
it's hard to believe anyone could even do that
Saw him twice, 1rst time in the early 70s. The Master
Took me back! Platforms & 12 String, Yeah go Brother!
love the speed of his songs
keeps the drummer on their toes literally
Be Careful with a Fool. Johnny could play the blues (and rock). Saw him 4 times live. I'm 65 and got into him when I was a teenager. Lay Down Your Sorrows is still one of my favourite all time songs in this world.
Dear Norm , I live in Paris (France) and I am almost 60 years old and I heard this song for the first time when I was 16 and I use to listen to this and others stuffs of Johnny until today because Johnny Winter was just the best in blues and rock . He will always ALIVEforever and ever. Peace.
Saw JW first time in '73- Still Alive and Well tour (concert bowl-Maple Leaf Gardens-height of his r'n'r fame). Then touring the Winter 88 album in a bar in London (Ontario that is) Then in the 21st century in another bar here in London. He was sick then and sat the whole time. Been into Johnny's great blues since I was about 13 and I'm 65 now. The blackest-sounding white man ever, imho. (Capt. Beefheart a close second).
His solo on Be Careful with a Fool is my all time favorite guitar solo-hard to beat. He was a really good singer too. Listen to him singing Drown in my Own Tears...It will knock you down.

Yes, I've always felt his guitar solo on Be Careful With A Fool is one of the greatest studio guitar solos ever recorded. I also think he owns the greatest live recording of a guitar solo. From the Johnny Winter And Live LP / 1971. I'ts My Own Fault.
@@peach495 Kindred spirits here.
Dude could play and sing!
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!!
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!👍😎🎸🎶
I was very fortunate to see him in the early 70s Super Fest stadium tours with 3rd row seats at Rich Stadium In Orchard Park.
MAN, that boy could play!! R.I.P. johnny b. good
Brilliant I was 10 in 69 Vivid memories of Johnny Thru my older brother
I was 10 and my older brother had the album Live. I still love that album
I saw Johnny Winter And 72 ? academy of music NYC & I saw Johnny Winter in London 1979 - the venues - great guitar 🎸 player
