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.
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
Way back in about 1969/70, at a little club, Tommy asked my buddy and me if he could sit at our table to wait till it was time for his band to go on. He said his band was called "Winter". We had no idea who he was. Or Johnny. When Johnny walked in, thru the front door...what a sight! He had a girl on his arm. I'm sure he was awesome, but I can't remember. We were just young teens and had nothing to compare it to. It was at a little hippie type club here in Houston called Love Street Light Circus. 😎 😻✌
Awesome footage! This where RU-vid 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!
@@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!
@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.
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
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
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. ✝️ 🙏
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 🌞
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 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!
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.
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 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.
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
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 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 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.
Saw Johnny 15-20 times from mid-70's until the very late 90's when his playing collapsed along with his health. Couldn't bear to watch thereafter. But man, I smiled and thanked my lucky stars every time he started playing...
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.
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.
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
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!👍😎🎸🎶
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 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 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!
@@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 saw JW a few times from 81 to his last tour in Saratoga Ca. So I saw him at his best and sadly at his worst, I am keeping the great memories from the 80's a true master.
I love seeing all these old videos where the bassists are using Acoustic 360 amps. Bought mine in 1971, $810 new, and played through it a good 15 years. Classic.
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 ✌
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.
I saw all the great guitarists in their prime - Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Pete Townsend, Ritchie Blackmore, Tony Iommi - Johnny Winter was right up there with all of them.
I have seen Johnny twice here on the beautiful island 🏝 of MAUI!!! Someone helped him out on stage and he sat in a chair the guy handed Johnny his guitar and he he ripped!!! Played his ass off!!! It was awesome!!! Saw BB King twice!!! He also had to sit on a chair and he ripped!!! RIP JOHNNY AND BB!!!
Oh wow...The Progressive Blues Experiment record is fantastic. Can't get over how Tommy Shannon kinda looks like Chris Squire here! Johnny was a master who truly lived & lived for this music.
