    Johnny Winter, 1971. It was a good year to rock and roll and he was just the man to do it. Last time I saw him he got me and one of my old buddies into his show for free. We showed up stoned and had no tickets. He said follow me fellows, so we walked in like we owned the place. Hootchie Koo!! I miss that guy.

    Even though some comments are criticizing the bassist, he is holding the groove during Johnny’s solo section and never loses the One, despite not having a drummer and playing a flurry of 16th’s and funky offbeats, walking etc. I think it challenged Johnny as well, who did a remarkable job. In this room, the bass notes can clearly be heard whereas on stage it could have boomed like a sea of mud. Randy is playing a Dan Armstrong plexiglass body bass, which was in vogue during the early 70’s as Jack Bruce was using one, following his Cream years of a Gibson EB-3. I’m glad we have this vid up on TH-cam, it captures the time in Johnny Winter history.

    What is so cool about his style , he could play the same song 10 times in a row , and play it with a diffrent style each time !
    A legend I was fortunate enough to grow up with !
    Unfortunately for us , the rock and roll band in heaven needed another legend to make them complete .
    RIP Johnny

He and his drummer and bassist played the full concert. As a guitarist, I watched his every move which was flawless. He didn't miss one note. Man, he is a genius. and he is (was) a machine about it too.

      Kind of strange that Rick Derringer wrote R&R Hoochie Koo in 1970 but didn't release it as his own single until 1973 (his only solo Top 40). Of course he had a Top 40 with The McCoys (Hang On Sloopy). Cool he gave it to Johnny for the JW And album, maybe it's not so strange since Rick was part of the JW And band (basically The McCoys). I'm sure he got his royalties.

    So, so happy I saw Johnny Winter, early 2000's at legendary Antone's Blues Club. Austin, Texas.
    Much like the "Pinball Wizard," he rested his hand on the shoulder of a roadie who lead him on stage - turned him toward the mic, plugged him in, and OFF HE WENT!
    Great night of blue/rock. Would up meeting/speaking with Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes. They're were passing through town, found out JW was jamming, stopped in..Robinson was very cool with all, laid back and friendly. JW was masterful.

    Hearing and seeing this makes me stoked beyond words because I will pick up my Firebird guitar next week...feels like a religious experience...I have wanted one so bad since I first heard Johnny...I pray he will somehow bless me as I try to channel that spirit he’s BLESSED me with for over 45 years...from the time I first heard him. Nobody like you, Johnny, never will be. I will have a Firebird in my hands. Happy beyond words.

    Thanks RitY for the upload! JW's feel for the blues is so unique. Other greats of his era would "milk" licks to build up tension, while Johnny smoothly moved from one phrasing to another. Great to see this loose jam duo and a Dan Armstrong Lucite Bass in action.

    ahh, I remember those acrylic guitars and the ludwig clear drum set also. lol Very cool. That's the youngest image of him that I have ever seen. I was fortunate to mix monitors for him at a blues festival not long before he passed. Of course he was pretty old, had to sit the entire show. He played a lot of slide. It was a treat for me being a guitarist and listening to him and learning licks from his live album when I was a teenager and young adult. What a special person and so much a part on the 70's and 80's music scene along with a life playing the blues circuits for a living. A family it is indeed.

    At 5:00 Johnny finally answered a question that had been bothering me for decades!! Kinda after this clip moreso and as he got older, I would hear him sing and I always wondered if he was just making noises because maybe he forgot the words, well I cant believe he just admitted it!!!
    I would listen to him and say "Theres no way he is using words there, he is just mumbling and making noises!"
    Rip Johnny and thanks for finally letting the (mumbling) cat out of the bag x.
