Caldwell is one of my favourite drummers of all time!! His work with Captain Beyond and Armageddon was top notch!!!

[@lizlocher3612]

Its true, once you saw Johnny Winter And in concert for the first time you were totally hooked and a devoted fan for life!!!! Johnny is absolutely the most awesome, soulful, hard rock n blues man ever!!!!! Saw him in 1970 at ,Combo Hall in Detroit, Michigan and have been totally addicted ever since!!! Marked my entire lifestyle!!! I had special dancing tapes made for Burlesque when I was an exotic dancer in 1980's into ,,20 minute sets to dance to when I was younger. Still love Johnny today!!!! Rip, my favourite shooting star!!!!

[@jimiplayscobo5877]

I seen him at Cobo hall too. It was the Still Alive and Well tour with Foghat as backup. The place was rockin :-) Peace

[@lizlocher3612]

Still Alive n Well is my favourite Johnny Winter's record, next to Saints n Sinners!!! Love him to this day!! I know you must be from my area as well as era, if you know Cobo Hall as well as saw the Still Alive N Well tour, which means we were both there at the same time!!!! Wow!! Deja Vu deluxe.

[@lizlocher3612]

Still love Foghat too, favourite song, I Just Wanna Make Love To You!!! These replies are to my replier to my original Johnny Winter's comment title JimiplaysCobo,!!

@@lizlocher3612 I grew up in Windsor and spent a lot of time in Detroit. I used to go to the East Town quite a bit I Loved the East town. I used to listen to WABX and seen countless bands over the years. Like Bob Seger said Detroit audiences are Greatest Rock and Roll audiences in the World!!

[@claudedalton8970]

I WAS HOOKED ON HIM AT THE AGE OF 14 AS MY OLDER COUSIN TURNED ME ONTO HIM AS HE WAS TEACHING ME A FEW CHORDS ON A BEGINNER GUITARIST. TODAY, I PLAY MANY OF HIS SONGS, AND SLIDE TOO, BUT, STILL CAN'T TOUCH THE MASTER! MY FAVORITE IS "CHEAP TEQUILA". I'M 70 YEARS OLD AS OF SATURDAY, AND PRACTICE DAILY. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU DANCE SWEETHEART AS I'M NOT DEAD YET! LOL! TAKE CARE!

GOAT -Greatest of All Time. Johnny Winter!!!!!!

[@claudedalton8970]

I'LL AGREE WITH THAT! A CLOSE SECOND IS *ALVIN LEE OF THE TEN YEARS AFTER!* 👍 "I'M GOING HOME"~LIVE AT WOODSTOCK AND BEYOND.

[@classicrockarchives7077]

The night was JW And & The Allman Brothers and Elvin Bishop . Had to be the greatest single guitar night ever at the Fillmore. Only Jimi BOG can compare Jimi Hendrix was miles above everyone. . Greatest venue in the history of classic rock music. Everyone who was a legend, made their way through the halls of the Fillmore East. Winter is on fire an Becareful With A Fool is some burning hot blues. Thanks for posting Alex Cailf

[@misuiu64]

It was a great line up. Allman Brothers recorded their live album over the three days. Opened with Elvin Bishop ending with Johnny Winter, Please pass the tequila and lime.

[@claudedalton8970]

JIMI ONCE QUOTED THAT *RORY GALLAGHER* WAS THE GREATEST GUITARIST ALIVE, AND SUPPOSEDLY MADE THE SAME STATEMENT OF THE LATE *TERRY KATH OF THE EARLY DAYS OF THE BAND CHICAGO.*

Had the pleasure of being there!

[@claudedalton8970]

NO ONE AND I MEAN NO ONE PLAYS THE BLUES LIKE JOHNNY WINTER. CLEAN...GUITAR AND AMP! AND HE NEVER GETS THE CREDIT HE DESERVES ESPECIALLY WITH HIS SINGING. THANKS FOR THIS CARLYGTR.

Rick Derringer might disagree with you. :)

[@claudedalton8970]

@@danielodom3839 RICK WAS AND IS NO SLOUCH HIMSELF.

[@paulferris662]

How do you figure he didn't get the credit he deserves? I believe that on these recordings he was the headline act with the Allman Brothers playing before him. If someone doesn't dig it maybe it's because they don't know a really good guitar player from a bad one. You're never going to impress everyone and maybe it doesn't matter.

was at this show 50 years ago today 3/13/1971...you can't go wrong with elvin bishop and the allman brothers on the SAME bill with johnny winter. could have done without the bomb scare though.

[@rangersfanMatt99]

I was at the 3/13/197 Late Show - Johnny Winter And played after everyone returned to the Fillmore after a bomb scare during Elvin Bishop's set. The Allman Brothers closed out the night - I'm 19 again every time I hear any of the recordings from that night!!

Props to Rick for the great accompaniment

[@MrMojabo]

His ability to play rhythm has very rarely been talked about. He is perfect. Even his solos so well constructed as he got older were accomplished by perfect rhythm. He always seems to know where he is going with a song

[@Richard-vu7kh]

Winter’s vocals (and guitar) were fantastic. His line-up in the early ‘70’s was so unique, and I can’t help but wonder where he and Derringer would have gone had they stayed together. They were branching into different genres, beyond straight blues into country, rock, acoustic, and writing their own stuff. In any case, Winter turned out decades of solid blues - an amazing talent and one of a kind.

[@johnlane35]

I always compare the the JW and period with Lou Reeds Rock and Roll Animal. They both were at the cusp of The big time and pulled back. The reason may be creative control. The maestro thing?

[@ΔΗΜΗΤΡΗΣΧΡΙΣΤΟΠΟΥΛΟΣ-η9φ]

[@russellcrawford7453]

Rick Derringer brother drummer Randy z e h r i n g e r was with Johnny Winter and also. He was on the 1st Johnny Winter and studio album and he started out this tour in 1970 but later was replaced by Bobby Caldwell a fantastic drummer. I saw them with Caldwell here in Dallas at the State Fair Music Hall December 18th 1970 they opened with the first song off that album called I guess I'll go away. The poster for the event is so rare that it sells for around $400 on the internet period a week earlier December 11th the doors performed at the State Fair Music Hall Dallas. A bootleg recording was made it is the last time that Jim Morrison's voice was ever recorded! A bit of Dallas trivia for you, howdy from Dallas!

[@larryamato1314]

Actually JW’s backing band here was the McCoys. Rick Derringer and his brother Randy, and Randy Jo Hobbs. I guess they dropped McCoys due to legal reasons, and went by Johnny Winter And.

[@larryn2682]

@@larryamato1314 that's Caldwell here, and he went on to be in Captain Beyond.

I am surprised that Johnny Winter’s sets from Fillmore East 1971 hasn’t been released in full along with all the Allman Brothers Band stuff.

Hi..Great upload but is Jumpin Jack missing?? Ive been trying to get that intro from JWA Live for yrs..so I always look for versions I haven't heard..U post a lot of great stuff Thanks ...DH

[@andrewgillis8572]

Killed it whenever Johnny touched Stones or Dylan material - my bet, this band could have snatched a Zeppelin number or two and ruled the game. A Dylan tune would have been the way to get a hit single IMO. Anyway had JWA lasted there never would have been a hair band.

Spiritual teachings and teachers were prevalent and adherents were seeking conversations with God and nurturing a relationship. Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Bhagavad Gita conversation poem, the Zohar. Tout Alan Watts spiritual teachings espouses Buddhist and taoist with Christian principles. Versatility and Virtuoso on guitar and vocal emotional range a falsetto with staccato breath control and phrasing a rythmic pentameter synchronize your voice with your slide guitar. God bless.

[@chriszaic9278]

did Duane jam with Johnny at this show?

[@classicrockarchives7077]

No to bad, they jammed at Atlanta Pop and Winters End Festival 1970. Maybe others. They were on the same bill in 70-71 a bunch of times. The 2 greatest slide players period. Alex Calif

[@Taine2]

Yes, Duane Allman sat in with them.
