[@RogerioNaccache]

Listening to Watson I understand why Zappa said he was influenced by him. The guy was a genius.

[@2wayplebney]

Johnny's contributions to One size Fits All were excellent.

[@georgedarryl1733]

“One size fits all” FACTS!

[@tommowers6826]

That says a lot coming from Frank zappa.

[@ABLynWilson]

I recently discovered Johnny, just a week ago. And I'm head over heels in love with him. His looks so slick and fine and his music. Can't get enough of him anymore

[@vinbak1]

Thanks for your enthousiasm! Vincent.

@@cindiballer2939 yes youre so richtig Cindy...greetings from Germany 😁

[@ursulal.4207]

I wanna thank you! You are fantastic, Sir! When I was introduced to his music, I was a 16 year old who had lost her mother...however, JGW's music has never let me go since then and has always built me up! I also had the great pleasure to see him live once in the Arena in Vienna-it was a wonderful evening and the place was packed! I liked it very much that Johnny promoted young up-and-coming musicians/artists, a great man! The Dubbiediddliedieee solo from the pianist is really great! The whole ensemble-Girl on the drums!-just worked really well together, a pure joy, unforgettable! Solitary class...Thanks also for uploading the live concert!

[@kevincooper8666]

The man was an original nobody had this man's style class music great vocals and guitar wonderful missed badly in today's world😢😢😢

[@bigtimelakersfan5836]

Rip Mr. Johnny Guitar Watson Rip Mr. Rudy Copeland

[@oholm09]

What happened to Rudy

[@BuenaMorena]

​@@oholm09He passed years ago.

[@jaegentile471]

Such a Dynamic Duo!

[@cindiballer2939]

I love to sing along with Johnny and Rudy. A friend surprised me one day who never heard this music before( a white dude) he actually could follow the music and sing along also . Very impressive how Johnny could inspire... reach ..and teach his audience ! MAGIC IN MUSIC ! HOLLER

[@Pelsluisje]

Love the music from Johnny already in the 70-ties. Very undervaluated musician!

[@paulmcilroy7508]

A true pioneer who combined blues and funk putting "fun" into the "funk". He should have been a household name!!!!!

[@dmicheldelpit3014]

He was at my house without a doubt!

[@robroufla]

Don't know why Tovia Bradley isn't more famous, hard to find info about her, it's not like there were that many women drummers in 1990. Everyone is excellent in that band.

[@tommowers6826]

Johnny was one of a kind, I pretty much listen to him daily . Amazing

[@00BChill]

thank you for sharing this with the world... these Jonny Guitar Live Concerts are so special

[@ultravioleta3]

Vincent Baker you are awesome for giving us this! JGW is truly the Superman of all musical artists. I love him most of all!!!!!!!!!!

[@vinbak1]

Thanks! I couldn't say it better.

[@jameschapman7515]

Still listening...

[@jamesreding6336]

There is nothing to dislike about this guy he has a lot of talent!!!!!!!!!!

[@Soulfingerstuff]

Such A Giant! Etta James Is Definitely Right - Johnny Guitar Watson Is The King! Shame On You - Music Industry usa... Vincent - You're Exception(al). Thank You So Much For All The Work You Have Done , I Need(ed) It! Much Love & Respect!

[@dakardio9839]

Dope performance, from a genius of a musician. Currently, I rock "A Real Mother for Ya" like it was released yesterday for the first time.

[@cindiballer2939]

We know you feel it Too ! Cindi Baller says HOLLER ! TOO COOL TOO COOL !

[@muniqui19]

Me too

[@MuslinTree]

Johnny and Rudy singing together is epic.

[@2wayplebney]

His band was the support act in Leeds in the 70's. I was happy with that, then Johnny came on, and it was so much better. Energy, guitar tricks, impishness - wonderful.

[@Venture1977]

This is one of his best show’s ever. Everyone was on point sounding fantastic and great energy!

[@ROBINRHODIE-b2w]

HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY LATE GRATE ONE JOHNNY GUITAR WATSON GOD BLESS LIVING LEGEND OF FUNK AND BLUES MAN 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🙏🙏🙏🙏✌️✌️✌️✌️

[@lorettariley7420]

YASSSS. JOHNNY'S BAND IS SO TIGHT!!! What A Treat. 🎶🔥🎶🔥🎶🔥🎶🔥

[@jameschapman7396]

I've been a fan since real mother for you,and was hooked, your love is my love, and Virginia pretty funky,are among the best tunes I've ever heard to this day,wish I could could have met Johnny, but I collected 15 album by him,and it's like I knew him personally..

[@rosbifle413]

Good point. I'm only 33. Was introduced to Johnny when I was about 20 years old. Strange but its always like contacting an old friend when listening to his work.

[@cindiballer2939]

Johnny gave me that feeling too... of just knowing him and loving him. We got to slang his music out once more in 2020. And I think I have found that door ! Can't keep that MUSIC down .Affter all there have been others that were selected for the ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME after their death. My home boy heard JOHNNY's music( a blak man 46 years old )said he had not heard it before thought he was hearing a white guy. Ha Ha yet he knows every rapper and hip hop artist on the planet. I said this music makes some other stuff look too sad . did i say that right ? I love Ice Cube. Snoop Dog .Lil Wayne..Yelawolf plus Stevie Wonder ..the ladies of rap and MORE. Let's MAKE SOME MAGIC. CINDI BALLER SAYS HOLLER !! SHOUT OUT TO JOHNNY'S BABY GIRL ! HOLLER BACK ! WE GOT THIS ! SAN ANTONIO ...DON'T STOP THE MUSIC !

[@riodejaneiro1784]

That is real music, 100% life, perfect musicians, sooo good

He was unique playing that guitar, he really gets to you. Thank God we still have his lps. The nice way to enjoy him is through a good lp. Make no mistake

[@alfrednawrocki8061]

Beautiful performance

[@user-dl8si4mx2x]

A real entertainer!

[@paulsutherland1475]

That keyboard player is nearly as entertaining as Watson

[@wolfgangzeller2253]

I remember seeing the broadcast of that on German TV in 1990. When he played in Stuttgart in '91 I was there! Great showman!

[@willpower8894]

What a legend

[@sidneymeckling7226]

I have seen him 2 times...great preforming and a great Guitar man.

[@hering67]

I live not too far from Baden-Baden and he came to our town with this band as well in 1992 - a real cool gig it was. If only he would have played a little more guitar that day. He spent most of the time at that keyboard of his. Does anybody know the name of the amazing lady at the drums? I'm sure he mentioned her name back in the day, but i did forget. Thanks for the upload! PS. Thanks to Vincent Bakker - the drummer is Tovia Bradley.

[@shable1436]

I think I remember her first name, but not last

[@robroufla]

Tovia Bradley. She has a twin sister that plays bass. They made a record in '83 The Unfunky One

[@hering67]

KING OF FUNKY

[@martinsprenz2872]

Artists know that they have to give everything they have - when they play in Germany. Look at all those concerts here on KZbin. The best of em happend in good ol´ Deutschland. It`s because of the audience which only gives applaus when artists give 110%. And this is what creates those magic moments, in my opinion.

[@TheeDuhscientist]

Thank You!

My pleasure!
