JOHNNY WINTER AND: 1970 Clip w. RICK DERRINGER

[@MarshallAmpMan]

this by far was Johnny's best band. Him and Rick were unbeatable!

[@54chewbacca]

Derringer so underrated

[@williamwalton583]

Yup. My fav album of his.

[@frankny4947]

I seen Johnny in the 80's, and The Derringer band twice in the mid 70's but my first ever concert was in 1973 on my 16th birthday... April 8th 1973..The Edgar Winter Group (with Rick on lead) at Morris County College in NJ..

[@StellaWaldvogel]

Derringer's a little compact ball of dynamite with Johnny. It's alchemy, those two.

[@fredtello]

@@54chewbacca Rick is only underrated two morons like you on the internet shut the fuk up with underrated s*** you f****** was

[@ReverendRicktaScale]

Vintage footage of a young vibrant JW. A very under rated band. Before SRV there was Johnny Winter. Johnny Winter and Live is one of the greatest blues rock albums.

[@bobcohn6486]

ReverendRicktaScale I was at this show.... It was the 5th time I had seen him and was just blown away on how different his playing was when he had a “foil”like Derringer. He pushed Johnny on stage like nobody had before. I wish they had done more that was captured on film

[@jimih011]

And Rich wasn't bad either

[@smokingstoking7357]

A band called the jokers

[@Doones51]

i saw them in a college gym in 1970. Incredible show.

[@jellison7]

You are welcome--it is great to know that some out there would be so appreciative! I will keep my eyes open for anymore footage of this great ensemble.

[@bbb8997]

is there is footage of the band with Bobby caldwell on drums ?

[@gregoryoliva8290]

Bass player would have been Tommy Shannon (pre SRV) and Bobby Cauldwell drums if video was 71' verses 70'. Thanks for posting JW and Derringer will never be topped!

[@williamredford5273]

Randy Jo Hobbs on bass and Randy Z playing drums here

[@highdb1]

⁠ I thought Randy quit the band very early in the first tour? He had a mental breakdown after a bad LSD trip.

[@krisdecave4167]

Too bad Johnny Winter And did not last long enough....what an explosive band they were.........

[@RobtheAmpMan]

Great to see the great JW in his blazing prime. I got to see Johnny And at the Filmore West in April 1971 (spring break). Johnny, Rick and the band were blazing....... with top hat and capes to boot...a night I'll never forget. Were you there?

[@uncawooz]

Never thought I'd see footage of Johnny And. What a fantastic band!

[@edleifer6719]

If you live long enough you get to realize that you see just about everything.

[@Eltamir]

Rick Derringer's brother, Randy Z. is on drums here.

[@QueenFan12]

Yes, in fact everyone from The McCoys except for the keyboard player, who left The McCoys in 1970, joined Johnny as his backing band. Also, at first it was supposed to be called "Johnny Winter and The McCoys" but management said that the McCoys reputation as a bubblegum pop act would affect his popularity so it was named Johnny Winter And instead.

[@RickDerringerBand]

Look at all that hair. Thanks for posting. I may steal this and repost :)

[@stevemitchell8656]

Randy is laying down a serious groove here. Did realize how good he was. Absolutely love this .

[@MrMojabo]

Just think this kid is about 23,, and hes already had a #1 hit single and toured with the Rolling Stones,, came from the house band at the Scene in New York, where he more than likely jammed with all kinds of musicians. playing with Johnny Winter here ,, where he wrote the hit song Rock and Roll Hoocie coo. , a real seasoned veteran at 23 and a totall pro musician with a career than spaned over 50 years. I saw Johnny Winter And at Fillmore West. And from that moment on realized how great a guitar player he is.

[@kevinkhoy7171]

This must be Pirates World Dania Florida in August like a "Hot! "Sauna"

[@harrydoherty8299]

saw johnny winter in the very early 1970 s at the springfield civic center in massachuetts with the james gang opening for johnny . joe walsh had left the james gang at that time . very loud and great guitar playing

[@donniet8953]

Saw their Spring '71 tour in Pittsburgh. My first of three JW shows. Johnny's playing sold me on the power of the blues. He's truly underrated as a guitar slinger.

[@mctavish23]

It does not get any better than this. Thanks

[@anthonyfesta1224]

AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!! Great footage!!!!

[@highdb1]

There is a God!! I've been searching for Rick/JW footage for years!!! Thank you so much!!

[@matthewbauer6532]

Johnny was by far the best electric slide player of all time. No one else even close.

[@MarkBarna1]

Oh man! This sounds so good. Johnny at his peak.

[@danieljacob732]

I saw Johnny Winter And at the Montreal Rock Concert, Autostade, May 24- 1970 (with Mountain, Jethro Tull, Jefferson Airplane etc) They completely blew my mind. One of the best live band I've ever saw with Cactus.

[@WheatonBrad]

Me oh my. That is really rockin'!! I was lucky enough to see JWA in Portchester NY in the Spring of 1971. Mylon, the seminal gospel rock group, opened. Rick and Johnny both came out and jammed with Mylon on separate songs. What a show.

[@ranhop4902]

Me too.

[@MrMikadelic]

One of my first and favorite LPs. I recently lent the CD to a friend with the comment, "do you like electric guitar?" He told me it blew his head off.

[@MrRonnierockZ]

In 1970 I was 2nd lead guitar in LIGHTNING with Zippy Caplan, I had ( 2 ) Sunburst 1959 Les Pauls....S# 9 0417 & 9 0282....Rick Derringer is playing one rite cheer + he kept the axe.......later he bought me a 1958 tri hummer Black Beauty from guitar guru Dan Martin....S# 8 1853........I used it on the 1970 LIGHTNING LP here on U Tube....

[@bbb8997]

I have lightnin' lp & the litter lps as well. great version of "ghost riders in the sky"

[@carljacobson7156]

This is one of the few JOHNNY WINTER AND concert videos with Rick Derringer's little brother, Randy Zehringer, playing the drums. Randy's music career was cut short due to encephalitis and seizure issues from loud music. That's a shame, Randy had a lot of talent, it would have been interesting to see where his career would have gone.

[@Magnetron33]

pretty amazing drumming on this

[@bluepov]

RIP Johnny. You introduced so many to the blues...

[@cliffstates63]

saw winter in 73 w derringer. they layed down the heaviest, burning rockin blues i ever heard... 2 hrs, non stop. 5 best concert i EVER saw. ( out of approx. 75, 1970 to 1980 )

[@davefisher8356]

Thanks for posting what a band!!!

[@TheVideostarrr]

it's amazing to me that no one ever filmed this band. it was, inarguably, one of the finest rock and roll groups of the 20th century, and this is the only footage?? by the same token, it's also very difficult to find footage of duane allman. compare with today, when every celebrity footfall is recorded. now that i think about it, i'm not sure which is better.

[@usernamehmmm]

Woo hoo...another great find! Thanks.

[@Mooseboy08]

Ahhhh, the early seventies… when men didn't wear shirts, but they wore long skirts. Just kidding, I'm thrilled to see footage of this band. Johnny and Rick have been heroes to me for decades.

[@deheckler]

Johnny Winter And. Yep saw em in da Burgh in 1971

[@varoennauraa]

This is dizzyingly fantastic treasure. I didn't even dream of seeing live video from this group! So many million thanks!!! Does anyone know if they ever performed "Let The Music Play" live?

[@mj99a]

saw winter and at the fillmore east in '71 w/ elvin bishop and the allman bros. as warmup. he blew the place up. saw him about one month later at the fox theater in hackensack, n.j. that night johnny seemed really high and derringer carried the show, very disappointing . but the warm up "cactus" rocked like crazy.

[@theonemodifier]

The smoking good old days of rock'n'roll.

[@TheVideostarrr]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. it's amazing that there is almost NO footage of JW And. i saw them back in '70, and i have been searching for footage for years. same with duane allman--i think there are about three decent vids of him playing. WTF? all those shows? it was a different time, certainly.

@therickderringer - Hi, Rick. There's another clip of the mighty Anders playing "Guess I'll Go Away" on KZbin. In fact if you look at the videos listed on the right side it should be the 4th one down. By the way I saw you guys tear it up at the Fillmore East with the Allmans on March 12th 1971 and again the very next week at a little Long Island dive called the Rock Pile. Stay well, you nutty little powerhouse! And may GOD bless you and yours!

Never cared for Derringer

[@jchow5966]

Same here!! If you read the authorized bio about JW (“raisin’ cain”) Derringer sounds like he still holfs a grudge against JW because he removed himself from the music scene & checked into rehab/medical center for a year and a half. Derringer actually said that JW’s heroin addiction “was not that bad….” When Jw checked into rehab it ended that band. Derringer also said a few other snarky things about JW. When asked about his relationship with Derringer all he said was that they do not keep in touch. Anyone who is using heroin needs to do whatever they can to get off of it,recover & move ahead in their lige - even if it means not playing in a great band. To me Rick Derring spunds like a real a$$###e although he claims to be a high roller christian these days. Ig.

[@winterguitarkingyea]

Johnny Winter alone is all that is needed Rick Derringer was forced upon Johnny by his manager, that lasted for 16 months, before Johnny Had Enough... Floyd Radford fit johnny much better

[@d5u2ke]

Johnny had "had enough" of heroin and checked into a rehab clinic for 6 months or more. Derringer went on to produce Winter's biggest selling record, Still Alive and Well, as well as writing the title track, and playing guitar on it. Rick also wrote Rock n' Roll Hootchie Coo for Johnny which became a huge hit. Rick and Johnny remained friends until Johnny's passing. So, I think your comment is pure B.S.! I might add, Floyd Radford could not hold a candle to Rick Derringer.

[@divgtrslingr]

David, your right! Derringer n Winter were great! Rick was the one who produced Edgar n Johnny s albums. If they think derringer isn't soo good, they need to listen the Derringer band albums aka beyond the universe

[@jamesjennings6332]

Rick Derringer is very talented and I think his rhythm guitar work on the Johnny Winter And album is as good as any. Proud to call him my brother in Christ.

[@winterguitarkingyea]

Hey you freaking Idiot, they were together as a band for 16 months FACT, my point is Johnny was into the blues not The Real McCoys Derringers Band Fruit Cake. I Said he didn't want to play anymore with Derringer which is what happened. Derringer did a cameo on Still Alive and Well and cheap tequila, Never toured or played with the band live on that album. Still Alive and Well was reproduced Reissue Producer Bob Irwin, NOT Derringer. Johnny Winter - guitar, slide guitar, mandolin, vocals Randy Jo Hobbs - bass Richard Hughes - drums Rick Derringer - slide guitar on "Silver Train", pedal steel guitar and click guitar on "Ain't Nothing to Me", electric guitar on "Cheap Tequila" Jeremy Steig - flute on "Too Much Seconal" Todd Rundgren - Mellotron on "Cheap Tequila" Mark Klingman - piano on "Silver Train" Have a nice day Chump! Listen to Derringer sing and play Guitar and tell me if it is anything at all like Johnny Winters Music, HELL NO. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZqphZaupcqjoac

[@winterguitarkingyea]

Derringer singing makes me nauseous, he sounds horrible. So he wrote the song rock and roll hoochie koo (you spelled the song wrong) big deal. Johnny Winter made rock and roll hoochie koo Famous. Bob Dylan wrote 500 platinum songs. Hwy 61 one of them. I don't like anything about Derringers music, it's nothing at all like Johnny Winters music truth be told. If Derringer was so good, why did Johnny Winter end the relationship as a band (being friends is another topic) ? Enough Said.
