Accidentally saw Johnny in a bar in Suffern, N.Y. back in the 80's. God must have brought me there.. I was already a fan. It was Awesome! He was just great!.. I feel lucky..
Sometimes it just works that way, I had beat a bad rap in Wisconsin and saw the signs to a Grateful Dead Show, my mom was with me and I convinced her to go, so mom and I saw the dead by chance in 1989. It was Alpine Valley 7/17 or 7/18 - I'd be more precice but some kind kids shared their candy ;)
Very true and he deserved to have the title for it, I always liked his version to Chuck Berry’s, I like Chuck Berry and I respect him for a massive influence, I just love Johnny Winters voice much more!!
@@joekauffman9690 I many years ago better change my singing to play with harmonica... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XOX_tsrFKPk.html :-)))))))))
Johnny Winter was not of this Earth.. Let that be known. This being came to us, and loved Rock and Roll. He was Blues. There's another level of us out there, and JW was one of them.
So sad to hear that johnny has passed away!!!what an incredible talent!! He'll be hugely missed!!!he brought so much pleasure to so many and thanks to his music will forever more!! He can jam with jimi again!!R.I.P Johnny!
It's funny, I didn't realize how very good he was until i am much older, saw him a couple times right around 1971 and loved it ....but love it even more now!
I'm 65 grew up in the 60's and 70s just started getting into Hendrix before he died And Johnny Winter was my Guitar hero man you can listen to him and just drift away to another dimension of incredibly beautiful inner self vibrations ...Johnny was one of the greats it wasn't sturdy and repetition that made him great it was pure raw talent Johnny could compose on the spot like he was funnelling it in , tuning in and channelling, Like SRV, Hendrix, and a long time ago MR. bix beiderbecke fit that category... And now we live in a wonderful time of the WWW we can enjoy our Idols with a few keys being pressed ....for the moment I'm still alive and well. Kinda hard to tell ...lol...
Johnny Winter is the quintessential iconic rock hero!!! I have been enchanted with him since the early 1970's when I was 13 years old!!! To this day no one has achieved a higher place in my heart!!! Love 💖 everything about him, voice, guitar style, appearance, his Southern Delta Blues style mixed with his own heavy rock guitar style!!! He has always been n always will be my idol!!!
I started playing guitar in 1967. Was teaching myself. After much frustration and lots of false starts I finally decided to take some lessons.........at lesson #1 I said, "Teach me Johnny B. Goode by Johnny Winter!" Can you guess why? The man WAS Rock and Roll!
I surely miss these brilliant musicians and I truly miss this kind'a great rock and roll.🤦🏻♀️I don't like most of the music produced these days, though I can say I grew-up listening to the greatest on earth. Johnny sure knew how to go, go, go!🕊May Johnny be playing in peace. 🌹Thanks for sharing. 🇨🇦✌🏻🎶❤️✨🌎💫
I was fortunate enough to at least get to see him twice...once in 1980 at the Capital Theatre in Passaic, and once in the late 90's at Club Bene...both here in NJ btw...great shows, especially the '80 show...he was still at the top of his game then...
thats the line up I saw at the capitol theater in passic NJ with tommy shannon on bass probably a half century ago at least,,,john b.goode mister winter RIP.
Saw him in san diego in the mid seventies with his brother edgar at jack murphy stadium, he was awsome he was jamming and hitting a large beachball back and forth with crowd at the same time.
See the young boy sitting by the stage he had rhythm I used to sit next to the stage all night long when I was very young at my Grandfathers and Dad's cantina we called the West Bar next to there bar where we had dances was the selone aka dance hall and also watch the fights from walking outside frome the salone to the bar some of the best times in my life I still have a good time peace of mind...Roland J Gutierrez from Magdalena New Mexico usa...
Thnx Kanal, I was thinking of this song last night, and Jumpin Jackflash...oh and the record album he did with Rick Derringer, they did a kinda like dualing rockers set
On this day in 1964 {August 22nd} "Johnny B. Goode" by Dion entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart for a four week stay, peaking at #71... It was sandwiched between two Top 10 records by Dion; "Drip Drop" {peaked at #6 in 1963} and "Abraham, Martin, and John" {#4 in 1968}... Of course, the original was by Chuck Berry; his version reached #8 on Billboard's Top 100 chart in 1958 and #2 on Billboard's R&B Singles chart... In 1970 Johnny Winter took his covered version to #92 on the Top 100...
Perdón sigo en Hollywood, FL...1986, en el Agorah Ballroom estuve con Charly Ramírez y una 80 personas en un recital de Johnny Winter por más de 2 horas.... Fue único, este guitarrista salió de su programa y realmente que se le veía cómo esa noche estaba súper inspirado..... Me gané y eso no me lo va aquitar nadie!
Yes he sure is I'm 56 I was raised on him I have a very young mother. I was looking enough when I was 20 to see him at the Fillmore in San Francisco with John m a y a l l. It was an awesome show
