Lifelong Johnny Winter fan and I never in my life saw him play a Les Paul style guitar, until I saw this video, and I'm 68. And a rare thumb picker. Been to many a JW concert and cherish them all. A rare treat. RIP
I watched the Johnny Winter - Live At Rockpalast 1979, when I was 20 years old, and I had just bought my first colour TV, second hand. Broadcasted in HIFI stereo, all over Europe, In true West-German 'state of the art' quality (also available RU-vid, now). And a few years before he passed away, I saw him live at a bike festival and drag race in Denmark, where he was warming himself up before a larger gig he had in Copenhagen, later that weekend. I watched JW perform in a circus tent and was just a few steps away from him. I got to shoot a few great pictures, too. But anyway, yes, I never saw him on this guitar. Maybe he had tried to 'kick the habit', just before this gig... Who knows.
The personnel is Muddy Waters (vocal/guitar), Johnny Winter (vocal/guitar), Ray Allison (drums), Lovie Lee (piano), John Primer (guitar), Mojo Buford (harmonica), bassist Ernest Johnson. ChicagoFest 1981.
I don’t hear this type of music on our local radio stations very often or if at all. What a shame, but I can tell you for a fact, something that happened to me that proved the Blues is doing just fine. One night I got lost in Mississippi.A long story short. I ended up having a shotgun pointed in my direction. The man had on an old Atlanta Braves cap on, and a worn out pair of overalls on. He probably stood about 6’3”, arms like logs and they weren’t dancing boots he was wearing… He asked me what my business was on his land ! I said “ Well sir, I’m lost, I’ve been trying to find a ride home. Ya see, my car broke down miles up the road, and I headed this way cuz I thought I heard music playing… The man lowered his gun, gives out the biggest deepest sounding laugh I’ve ever heard… He said “Son, Come with me and I’ll help you out” Then he laughed again. It seemed as if it took forever to reach the old shed.. uh, well, i mean their homestead. I got kind of nervous because there was no one else in sight…. It was quiet, and that Smokey sounding music I had heard stopped… That’s when he looked at me, turned his head toward a pavilion about 50 yards from his home. With that same grin on his face he nodded as if to go on up… That’s when I heard a sudden loud laughter and the music started again. The same type of music I’ve loved to this day… I sat down next to some of the most talented back-woods Bluesman left on this planet… Music and as much food as I could eat… They played, told stories and laughed until the fire embers were barely smoldering… I will never forget that night! The next thing I remember is my Mom shaking my shoulder, telling me to get up for school… Best dream I’ve ever had in my life…. - True Story
Last night I didn't finish your whole story. I assumed it was Muddy Waters and I thought it was great story! After finishing the rest of your story it's got to be one of the most uplifting things I read in a long time!Thanks and dream on. Rob
Yes they did... nowadays,2024, it's that race of chaps we need todayt,to improve our poor sick world...may they all rest in peace,and thanks so much for the joy and happiness they gave us
I CAN hear u on that bud .i can remember sitting in grade 10 dreaming , many moons ago , about seeing Johnny WINTER AND George JONES .when i got out of school . well i did , 4 or 5 times each , that makes me happy .
This was the final version of the Muddy Waters Blues Band with the legendary George Mojo Buford, John Primer-guitar, Rick Kreher-guitar, Ernest Johnson-bass, Ray Allison-drums and Lovie Lee-piano. Special guest appearances by Johnny Winter, Big Twist and Mighty Joe Young.
@@MrNordertitoffifBuford wasn’t a patch on Oscher then Oscher wasn’t a patch on Butterfield or Little Walter but they all had there own styles muddy had and will forever have had the greatest harp players- only the best made the list! Period- by the way I Love Paul Oscher he is the epitome of Cool ., I heard he lives in Austin Tx not sure if that’s true or not. Peace
New Year’s Eve 1977-78 I was back stage watching Muddy Waters open for ZZ Top. Pine top Perkins was stage right and all the Roadies and I were huddled up watching Pine Top tear up that piano. The Bassplayer slid over and we could hear him say” Pine Top Pine Top settle down, you’re gonna have a heart attack” . I was hooked on the Blues ever since.
RIP my friend and One of the Guitar Greats , Johnny Winters.....2 days after his performance in France Blues Festival... Died at age 70 , doing what Johnny Loved to do ; Playing his Guitar for Us... Johnny , we love you Man.. Surely you are greatly Missed .... Hell froze Over and Heaven is a New shade of Blue 💙... The Day the Music stopped playing and One Guitar sat perched on the Stand... In Tribute the sounds of GUITARS .... Wailing and Screaming ....Long Sustained Sad Notes Echoes through the Night..... That Night when Johnny's Guitar 🎸 sat Silent ...😢 Bluest of Blues and all of them Rocker's and their Guitars yeah....They Played On...They Played HARDER and Better than ever before..... Because the SPIRIT of Johnny Winters and His Guitar remains in US ALL.. A Tribute to the Brother who gave MUSIC all he Had... and taught us all a thing or Two about Rock and Roll , Rhythm and Blues....
We were at this show on Navy Pier. My friends were more into the beer and craziness that day than the music...so my C-fest memories are few and far away. But then later that year Muddy, Johny Winter and Eric Clapton did a concert at the old Chicago Stadium (now United Center). We had primo seats as I'm recalling... ground floor-- close and center. Eric and Johny played - solo---with Muddy and his band and then both Johny Winter & Eric came out together for Muddys encore. At the end of the song Muddy is in the middle of EC & JW and puts an arm around each of them and says, "My sons....my son's". Quite a moment to witness all 3 so emotional🥹
There were a few white guys that got IT! And stayed true to the blues: Johnny, SRV, Eric Burden, John Mayall, Peter Green, Kim Simmonds to name a few from my era. Oops, let's not forget Alvin Lee and Jerry Lee Lewis to name a few more 😳Oops, plus Joplin and Clapton, of course...
Nobody I have ever heard in my 66 yrs of life equals Johnny Winters!!! He is so unbelievably fast, soulful, creative, sings blues like there's no tomorrow, his riffs n his guitar leads are sooo full n his tone is different from anyone else's. The minute he starts playing you just know that it's Johnny!!!! His style of electric blues is so unique no one can imitate him!!! I have been a devotee of Johnny Winters since 1970, STILL to this day listen to his albums, especially " Saints 'n Sinners" and " Still Alive and Well", and which are my all time favourite classic Johnny Winters albums from 1970, 1971. He is the BEST electric blues master that I have ever heard bar none, n his voice is so rich n rough n melodious, you know he has lived the blues his entire life and his guitar style is one that is incomparable!!! He steps right in to Muddy Waters band and rules it TOTALLY!!!! RIP both Johnny n Muddy, two of the best ever!!!
... what a shame Rory Gallagher so undeservingly littlle known in the States ... check him out ... that man and Johnny Winter are my all time electric blues & bluesrock heroes, each in his own right ...
The thing about Muddy Waters and Johnny Winter is, they were authentic. Yes, they were ambitious also, but were sufficiently self-aware to keep their egos on a leash and respect the music. And for those who think blues is easy -- just three chords -- nothing could be further from the truth. The apparent simplicity of blues is an intelligence test in improvisation among its finest musicians. Johnny, who some idiots think did nor have the right to play blues because he was white, produced three Grammy-winning albums for Muddy Waters, establishing that man's greatness for all time. Not convinced? Listen to an early recording of BB King's "The Thrill Is Gone," a classic in both vocal and guitar. King's seemingly simplistic lead on his Gibson guitar are unrivaled in their austere and sad beauty. If you are not emotionally moved by any of the guys mentioned above, well, you might be happier with some other kind of music.
I loved the fact that Johnny never overplayed while sitting in with Muddy Waters. Johnny and had too much respect for him, and the times I've seen them together Johnny seemed to in awe of him!
I once went home from my sisters house from a visit. On my way home about 10 p.m. I stopped for a beer at the coronet bar in Kitchener Ontario Canada. Bouncer says to me there’s a 10 dollar cover charge. This place never has a cover charge,so, I started to argue. Buddy says before you go any further listen to me. Johnny Winters is gonna be playing to practice before his show tomorrow night in Toronto. I never reached my hand into my pocket so fast in my life. I would have payed a lot more. Needless to say I was in heaven till they closed the bar. What a performance. ❤
southern boy who understands and respects elders, particularly someone as influential as Muddy Waters. Want humble, listen to an interview with Johnny and Edgar talking about growing up ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Rzm1wB9zLr0.html
The 17 people who disliked this a) have no soul, b) have no clue. This is american music at its finest. Its from an era when music was about music, there are few like this left. God rest the souls of Muddy Waters, Hank Williams, Ray Charles, Woody Guthrie, and all the other great musicians that make american music the greatest in the world.
The best of times . I was there and I spiritually felt the blues throughout my entire body . Chicago had the greatest blues music on Earth . I wish I could go back in time when things were so beautiful and peaceful in Chicago .
Sorry but West Helena Arkansas has the best blues and blues festival on the face of the earth....The annual King Biscuit Blues Festival has been held in West Helena Arkansas for over 55 years now
they 2 types of blues ,if u want to get right down to it . or more ,follow me , they is the Delta blues ,guess where that came from ,.which were mostly acoustic . and earlier in the life . And there was the northern or Chicago blues which is where they plugged in ,,Electric . now they was blus from Detroit , Kansas city , new york ,texas and Atlanta ? that all sounded a lil different and had their distinctive sound . just for the greenhorns out there . just sayin .. that bein said i am now gonna sing . ' Sweet Home Chicago '. . ..
I think it's safe to say many of the great blues musicians from the 40's-60's south headed north to Chicago to try and make it and make money. Then Chicago blues sound is rooted in those early influences of the Delta blues.
@@garylampkin4288 Yup ,without a doubt ,delta was where the blues started .thus layin the roots . im just pontin that theres quite a distinctive differences in delta n chicago blues .
Saw Muddy about this time at the old Cleveland Agora. On the floor (no chairs) up front, left elbow literally on two foot stage. Some memories are indelible.
Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, BB King and many more toured in England back in the early days of Rock. They played with the Stones and Clapton etc. Those bands that had their roots in the blues were lucky to have actually played with all the blues greats. That's how they learned the Blues.
Alice Kube says: "THE COUNTRY WENT DISCO. DON'T FORGET FLEETWOOD MACK (A LITTLE COUNTRY & TIRAIDS IN THEIR PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS.) TIME HEALS ALL WOUNDS" == I didn't mean his music as a trend in the industry. What I meant was his guitar playing skill. In the 70s and 80s, there are many new guitarists came on to the scene and for the most part, blues guitar was the main focus. Johnny Winter had never been one of those most talked about guitarists. If you compare Johnny Winter and Stevie Ray Vaughan you probably get the sense of what I'm talking about here.
This was 2 years before Muddy died in 83' @ 70'. Johnny died in 2014 @ 70' also! I saw them during this Hard Rain tour in 81' @ Tower theater in Upper Darby Pa. RIP it up boys!
Johnnie Was Very Well Known in Texas and Louisiana, He was driving a 56 chevy to new orleans and doing gigs at 16 years young, Johnnie and Edgar are Texas Musical Prodigies, Their Mother and Father were both musicians.
I was at this concert. That festival went on for 3 days. I couldn't find Black Oak Arkansas they played this night as well. What good times. I can say I lived that night was amazing❤️
Lol blab oak played a little show in the hills ..apple vallley maryland... was a bike party ..with molly hatchett .. any way was out doors and tge band members were just out walking around between sets... i ran into the bass man fro. Black oak and i asked him how long have you been in this band ? .. i think he said ..since 1969... this was 2007 ithink ...
What do you mean was nawww nawww brother or suster I didn't really pay attention but if folks still call old ink sideburns ( elvis) the king than muddy certainly still is as much as ozzy is the godfather of heavy metal
I saw Johnny in Buffalo in the mid 1970’s. He was great. My buddy’s older brother saw him at a local restaurant after the show. They went home with him and jammed in his home studio in the basement until morning.
Before many of the great Texas guitarists, there was Johnny Winter. One of the most underrated influential guitarists who ever played the blues.Every time I hear Stevie Ray Vaughan I can feel Johnny's influence on his playing, and so many others. Great guitarist and with Muddy, a surreal duo of new and old gut wrenching metal blues.
Shit! Learn Your Texas Guitar Killer History -- RU-vid it -- there were guitar killers since the 20s and 30s. Texas is one of the guitar killingest states in the lower 48!
I saw them together 3 times ( Evening Of Blues Tour) , I’ve seen thousands of musical performances, they were magic……( if you love the blues, and if you don’t I feel sorry for you)
@@paulferranti8536I love the Blues,the real stuff if you know what I mean,I can never get my head around people like JW who really only copy a culture and chords
Muddy had a unique way of playing the blues and I remember when I saw him at a private party outside of Chapel Hill in the early 80’s. It was pouring rain and everyone was huddled under a picnic shelter. Everyone was wet and dancing for hours to the band’s music!!
WOW , Johnny is not playing his flying V , he can play and make them all sound good ! Seen Johnny Winter 3 times , and the last time was 2 weeks before he passed away ! He still got up there and jammed ! First got turned on to Johnny in mid 80s , loved every second since !!
@@JHelak yea we are giving away monthly vinyl this year just to spread music with this month being the checkerboard lounge performance with the Rolling Stones as well as his Folksinger album. People need to feel that great vibe coming out of those speakers!
O Lord, in your infinite wisdom and love, I humbly ask for your divine favor to envelop this dear friend and their loved ones. May your presence be felt strongly within their home, bringing forth harmony, unity, and an abundance of blessings beyond measure.
Its so good to see Muddy getting the recognition he deserved at the latter part of his career! Every single blues man and rock n roller then and now knows he's the godfather of the Blues. Period. No ifs ands or buts about it. Period. The man was it. Robert Johnson an Son House are close, but never came as close as Muddy did. Muddy was the real deal and took it for all he could and as far as he could. Him an John Lee Hooker are probably the most influential bluesmen of all time. This was long before BB King or Freddy King or Albert King. He'll Jimi Hendrix was playing with Little Richard before Albert King released his first record in 1962. Then Hendrix released his in 66 only 4 years after. A lot of folks don't realize how early Jimi started. That's why he was so amazing. They all are but it really puts it into perspective to know the time lines. Muddy was the first to really do it big. That Delta style blues is just the goods. I love Chicago blues too, but it all started on the plantation. Rest in peace Muddy and Johnny Winter, another blues legend. ✌️🖤🤘
@@jimmyshirley3055 Of course not. Unlike you, I did/do not make the claim. Unlike you, I am not delusional. "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"- Carl Sagan. btw....you have violated YT Terms of Service being the fine example of a deity-fearing person that you are. Classic.....lol.
@Mark-gg6iy You know, asshole, you made a choice to reply to me. You didn't have to, but you did. If you're concerned about my soul, then pray for me to however many gods, or pretend gods, you believe there are. Else, leave me and all others the f--- alone
As a Brazilian i fell so lucky that i had a chance to see Muddy Waters back in 1980 at the Roxy in L A . Johnny one of my great idols not just once , saw him 3 times . The last about a year before his death here in Brazil , siting on a chair could hardly walk . Left the concert almost crying . RIP both , was a life pleasure to be able see you two in concert
What a pair: Muddy is The Man, the eternal star around which all the musicians revolve, and Johnny is that blazing flash of lightning that illuminates the stage like the northern lights across the Arctic wastes.
I saw Muddy open for BB King in 1971. Around 1980 or so I saw him on a double bill with Bobby Blue Bland in a north Tampa nightclub called the Crown Lounge. Such a great memory. Adding the Man from Beaumont to the bill would be rich.
I was there and we didn’t know Johnny was so blues gifted or that he was (thankfully) responsible for getting Muddy back into limelight. We were like, “isn’t that Johnny Winter?? Cool.” 😆 I was lucky and blessed to be there, Muddy, Johnny and crew converted me to the blues that night 😊
Muddy's guitar solo around 23:00 gave me the chills!! He didn't have long left, but he could still play the blues like ONLY Muddy could. The real damn deal. And I will always respect Johnny Winter for bringing Muddy some well earned fame and respect in his later years.
You are right, this Swarm of Honey Bees Slide Sounds are here and allover his Career a totally underestimated Part of his Genius. Thanks for this Time Tag. Made my Day.
I was at that show and with Matk Hannon who opened up fpr Muddy.Chicagofest was the best music show Chicago ever had .For $6.00 you could see 20 diff bands 6 diff stages with BIG name acts from Frank Sinatra to local bands that the next night could be at a local bar Minstrals or Biddy mulligans.
Saw Muddy in 1975 I think at Municipal Auditorium in New Orleans. Here we are 40!years after losing Muddy Waters and he’s still alive for those of us in the Blues. Thank you Sir.
I know you right There wouldn’t be any rockin roll if was not for muddy waters,BB KING,Otitis Rush,Albert King and the blues players of this time But Muddy Waters was the best to me Everyone who plays the blues has covered his songs and I mean everyone
Johnny at his hey day...Eric Clapton Jimmy page and Jeff Beck .are great players I believe Johnny is on the top of the pile of players .This video proves he is red hot on his custom Les Paul .Johnny southern Texas blues ...the great bluesman muddy waters..the man who started the cold hearted blues father .Thanks
This is probably one of the best true blues concerts ever recorded By the father of the blues himself muddy mississippi waters Unbelievable Mojo on harp is out of this world Primer is class on guitar too

Дуэт Muddy Waters и Johnny Winter это просто фантастика!!! Я ознакомился с их творчеством, благодаря замечательному ведущему и прекрасному человеку Владимиру Турчинскому, когда он вёл передачу "Последний из магикан" на радиостанции Серебряный дождь в городе Москве. Россия. Джонни Винтера диск купил и подарил мне мой, к сожалению уже ушедший в след за ними, друг Виктор и я наслаждаюсь слушаю их вместе! Это прекрасный дуэт двух гениев и мастеров своего дела!!! Сейчас тоже есть такие люди, но уже времена уже другие..... А есть ещё замечательный гитарист Joe Bonamassa!
Wow, glad to see this was taped. I attended Chicagofest that year. I wasn’t there on this day. The day I went we saw Albert King play a set on the blues stage. What a great time. When two teenagers from the suburbs could take a train into Chicago for the day and see some of the greatest blues players.
Agree,started listening in the 1970's and my favourite album has to be still alive and well, gets me out of my blues, can't get enough of ,have to pick up the harp,
Muddy wailing an astonishing and astounding slide solo midway thru here , one of the greatest i’ve ever seen or heard, and kudos to the rest of the crew , all masters of the craft
I was at this show. The crowd was so nuts it seemed the stands at times were about to collapse. If memory serves me correctly this show is broadcast at times on the local PBS station during their fundraising drives. This is quite possibly the greatest blues concert of all time.
