Johnny Winter & Edgar Winter - Tobacco Road (Live) - REACTION | MUST SEE THIS!

[@HeidiRoss-l5g]

All I can say is WOW, I never heard them before and I’m 82 years old. I love, love it.

[@garyrippa9637]

I was 15 years old listening to them in the mid 1960s...fabulous

[@jamesfarrington9030]

Johnny never gets the credit he deserves. SRV - great. But lets not forget JW. Humble man. RIP.

[@bradmcnulty8264]

Johnny will always be above SRV in my books.

[@HeyItsCasser]

@@bradmcnulty8264same. And Johnny > Duane Allman for me too. Highway 61 from Captured Live! proves it

[@debraschiro6234]

What he does in the song is called scating just like the blues singers do

[@jessegonzales3760]

I’m realizing that Edgar Winters is a genius at whatever instrument or vocals , he’s in the same breath with a SRV, Hendrix, and his brother Johnny Winters is awesome also

[@Arandomperson_online]

No words to explain this lmao

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

Edgar was scatting. Johnny Winter is one of my favorite guitarists; he's incredible (he had a great growly voice too)! Please do Johnny Winter live at Woodstock!

[@AstroCe1971]

And Stevie ray vaughn. Legends

[@lindakoschwitz7098]

I had a second row seat to this back in 1970..unforgettable shit!!

[@kevinmalone2218]

Someone once asked Eric Clapton what it was like being the best blues guitarist on the planet and he said I don't know go ask Johnny Winter.

[@antarcticorb9197]

Now it's time for the live album... Johnny Winter And...with Rick Derringer. I'm telling you, it's a must!

[@Frankincensedjb123]

Not knowing the blues tradition, many today look at this as just weird and too much noodling. I guess today, if you can't dance to or rap to it, it's not music, but these guys were at the top of their class in the blues genre. I saw both Johnny and Edgar at separate venues. Edgar is the more rock-oriented brother, but they both are amazing talents. If you haven't done the song already, a classic by Edgar is Frankenstein. Do the live version with Rick Derringer (saw him in concert too). It will blow you away.

[@lesblatnyak5947]

Cool.

[@MalamuteX]

Johnny and Edgar are/were and will always be musical masterpieces that deserved 100 times the credit and fame they had/have. I was fortunate to see them many many times live. Just... f'n yummy.

[@joesutherland225]

Yes sir I can back that up.

[@martyagey3680]

If you liked this, you've got to check out Johnny winter live at woodstock.

[@DFitz-bk7dj]

I believe Edger could blow air in the snout of a Hog and Music would come out the other end!!! Too Much Talent...

[@bl18ce99]

I'm sure many will say : Stevie Ray Vaughn live at El mocambo, "Texas Flood". Best rock blues ever.

[@myownchannel247]

Blues legend and brother Johnny on guitar 🎸 Edgar can play all instruments…. I think his sax playing is the best. Johnny sadly passed a few years back, check out his music. Life Is Hard is as good as it gets imo. They are from Texas and albinos. Free Ride by the Edgar Winter group is a must ⚡️

[@lesblatnyak5947]

I just thought they were Superwhite

[@davidcox30004]

You can currently see Edgar Winter as he is playing with Ringo Starr And His All Star Band. They are currently touring but tonight is the last night I think in Mexico City. To say they are all stars is a gross understatement.

[@RuthKing-wm9nw]

Can't put it into words..can you!

[@Arandomperson_online]

I LOVE ❤️ YOUR REACTIONS I FEEL THE SAME WAY YOU DO CANT GET ENOUGH

[@VIDSTORAGE]

[@karlaklaus-hoobler5685]

I got to see Johnny in a small club in Albuquerque. I was 3 feet away from him and he was on fire. RIP Johnny

[@hawkes555maine]

I just love watching you enjoy the music I grew up with. You’re so unpretentious and real about your appreciation of the music.

[@patrickbrown9703]

Dude. You did a Great job. I've watched many reactions to this song. You showed respect and enjoyment. Thank you.

[@deadchannel3274]

More Johnny Winter plsss! Be Careful With A Fool, Stray Cat Blues, Lucille, Ain't Nothing To Me, Cheap Tequila, Mojo Boogie, All Tore Down, Still Alive And Well

[@carloscesarpires5100]

Insane!!! From Brasil.

[@genekruithoff5795]

I met Johnny in st.augustine fl. He was playing and singing in a little Cafe there....he is truly a music talented man.

[@genekruithoff5795]

He was a one man show and awesome !

[@roadkill7314]

Yeah I'd say that live music back in my day was perhaps generally better than it is today😁

[@bobtedeman5975]

hahaha I'm laughing my ass off as you experience this hahaha It's nice to be able to relive it.

[@jchow5966]

They are and were brilliant. Johnny was the best rock blues guitar player ever. Edgar just released a fantastic album. ☮️💟☮️💟☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️

[@johnv61]

Great reaction! It was very easy to tell you liked it!…lol How could you not, or anybody, this performance is what Music is supposed to be all about. Wish more reactors would react to Edgar and Johnny

[@Ozarkprepper643]

So what is Edgar best instrument? His voice? He seems equally talented in everything he does. I feel fortunate this was the music of my youth. And it remains today. The Music that is. My youth has long past. Would have loved to see Edgar Winter and SRV perform together. ☮️✌️ 🤠🐂🏞️🛩️

[@bocephus1911]

Edger says it’s the saxophone, and according to all the albums he played sax on that people have no clue he played on , I’d almost agree with that ,,

[@Ozarkprepper643]

@@bocephus1911 thanks. I'm sure most would just think it was the keyboard. It's my understanding he was the first to strap one on. ( keyboard) I've always felt the saxophone was one of the more Soulful instruments. And when Edgar plays it you can hear the ease in which he conveys his emotion. I wouldn't doubt saxophone's are his favorite. And what one enjoy the most, one tend to do the best. ✌️☮️ 🤠🐂🏞️🛩️

[@thejoelrooganexplosion2400]

I'm so glad you got around to this one dude. Thoroughly enjoyed your enjoyment. Check out Johnny Winter - Prodigal Son

[@angelajakem366]

That is what you call multi talented, not only a great voice both him and Edgar multi instramentalists.

[@richardagvent7179]

I saw Johnny a few years before he died at Toads Place in New Haven CT . And I saw Edgar two years ago in New Mexico. It was an amazing performance. He still sounds great and is an outstanding musician

[@jackiegerspachhas4237]

This is BLUES SUPREME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sheryldalton8965]

Edgar & Johnny were from Beaumont, Tx as well as George Jones & CJ Richardson, the Big Bopper. Janis Joplin was from the next town over, Port Authur.

[@kevinlundgren1169]

Never seen Edgar in concert , but I did see Johnny Winter in concert three times , the last time was about two weeks before he passed away , and at 70 years old , his fingers could still move and jam !! But , that's all he did his whole life ! Should check out Johnny Winter at Rockpalest , if possible , doing either MISSISSIPPI BLUES , or DIVIN DUCK !!! You will enjoy it !!! I've been a Johnny Winter fan for fourty plus years , seen the Rockpalest concert dozens of times and I still love every minute !!!

[@thejoelrooganexplosion2400]

My father took me to watch Johnny when I was 18. 13 yrs ago. They had to walk him out on stage and sit him in his stool. He couldn't sing because his voice was fucked that night. He couldn't walk. He ripped for an hour straight. Johnny said "this is a song by an old friend, its called Red House" Was a small venue and I was 10 ft away. Will be something I'll never forget.

[@1958seeker]

Edgat touring with Ringos Allstar Band at the moment

[@pjeastwood9241]

​@@thejoelrooganexplosion2400I got to see him around the same time. He was in pretty rough shape but, damn he could still play! James Montgomery handled the vocals. I almost got to meet Johnny after the show but he had to go rest after seeing just a few people. So I talked to James instead, because he was a friend of my sister. In fact, when she was in hospice, he came to visit her. She introduced me to Johnny and Edgar's music when I was 9.😊

[@ivansavoie3190]

Should check out Johnny Winters version Jumping Jack Flash from 74

[@jameswolfe8853]

I was visiting a friend in 1974 and we were walking around the mall in Idaho Falls when I saw Johnny Winter sitting at the Orange Julis stand. I could not help myself and went over and introduced myself. He was super cold and after about 10-15 minutes of chatting he asked my 3 person group if we wanted to get stoned with him. We all said yes at once and we went out to his van and he smoked us out on some of the best weed I had ever tried up to that point. The rest of the evening after we parted are pretty much a blur but we ended getting home safe somehow.

[@helenespaulding7562]

I never saw Edgar, but I did see Johnny and his band live in Denver in 1970. Stadium show. He was the opener for CCR. It was at night, and he wore black, and it’s like all you could see was this long ash blond hair swirling around. It was actually kinda mesmerizing. Oh yeah, good music too! ✌️😁

[@jchow5966]

Thanks for genuine reaction. I got to ffel like i heard it for the 1st time. I have been listening to this for decades. You gave me a huge guft!!!! Thank you.

[@juliafox7904]

Wow, I never heard this- I did once see Johnny Winter at the Hammersmith Odeon in London , UK , early 1980s - and he was phenomenal-I didn’t know his brother was so talented though!

[@thejoelrooganexplosion2400]

Fuck yes my friend. Love seeing people feel this for the first time

[@StevesFunhouse]

The group Rare Earth did an awesome version of this song too.

[@jchow5966]

Seeing them live was one of ghe best things ever!!!!!

[@brianmiller4207]

This is Johnny Winter's song where Edgar sits in!!!!!!!!!!

[@rebeccalipps23]

I am reminded of the Oscar-winning movie "The Color Purple" here when the preacher's daughter is singing the blues & hears the church choir in the distance & she begins singing with them walking down the road to the church where she reunites with her preacher father.

[@maciejzniebuszewa8077]

I love your emotions because they remind me very much of mine when I was 15 in 1972. Great observations and comments, many of them surprising. In addition to this brilliant interpretation, there is also Erica Burdon with the War group. - Eric Burdon - Tobacco Road - 1970. Highly recommended ;-)

[@voidoid7810]

Johnny and Edgar Targaryen

[@sherryarflin726]

Seen these brothers in concert in the seventies several times and it was so much fun, plus unbelievable..

[@bella-xp7qd]

It has been said in a quote (that apparently has been used in association with several artists) that when Jimi Hendrix was asked "What does it feel like to be the greatest guitar player in the world" he said "I don't know why don't you ask Johnny Winter?" The bass player went on to play with Stevie Ray Vaughan Double Trouble.

[@txhesser]

Surprised you have not done any Stevie Ray Vaughn yet. Now that is a direction you will live very much.

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

I thought he said that about Terry Kath from Chicago 🤔🤔

[@bella-xp7qd]

@SnakeInTheGrass It has been said in a quote (that apparently has been used in association with several artists) that when Jimi Hendrix was asked "What does it feel like to be the greatest guitar player in the world" he said "I don't know why don't you ask Johnny Winter?" Regardless who's your personal. He said that about Terry, Johnny, Rory Gallagher. Guess he wanted to spread the wealth.

[@pjeastwood9241]

​@@bella-xp7qdI heard he said that about Terry Kath. I never heard about an encounter with Johnny (not saying it didn't happen) but I've heard through the years that Jimi was a fan of Terry's. Jimmy Pankow tells a story about Hendrix telling him that "You guys are great and your guitarist is better than me." 😊

[@cuales1955]

Blues = Johnny Winter

[@conrad4667]

I’ve heard the term Tobacco Road, but I’ve never heard of this song, let alone this version, and even though I may never listen to it again, I am sincerely glad that I was able to watch it with SalvoG. You helped me appreciate it more than I would have alone.

[@davexvs]

can you imagine being a band member with these two legendary talented gods of musical instruments the Winter brothers who wouldn't have wanted to be a neighbour of theirs

[@williamschrom1584]

Awesome response

[@lesliedavis2185]

I found an Edgar Winter album in a bargain bin in the 70s, The live ALBUM Roadwork , been a fan ever since. jsut so good. such a prodigious talent

[@ikemancil3850]

His brother the lead player on this is a good vocalist also. Listen to Johnys song Highway 61.

[@ericschneider118]

Amazing as always !!! "White Walker Blues" :)

[@kevinmarsh8922]

I think you would like Joe Bonamassa's "Taking The Hit" live at Rockpallast. He's an amazing live performer.

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

These guys were fantastic. Maybe try “Free Ride”

[@kd8199]

Edgar, as you might know, was the only one from this group who performed “Free Ride.” The entire album “They Only Come Out at Night” was excellent.

[@joesutherland225]

Saw these guys both together and separately at least a dozen times since 72 sadly Johnny no longer with us incredible both of them.

[@melw5043]

So good! Also check out the live 1970 version of Tobacco Road by Eric Burdon and War.

[@lesblatnyak5947]

Brilliant choice, the live version off the double LP White Trash Roadworks is 18 mins with Rick Derringer just to kick it up and is a must hear for all us whitetrash. 🙏

It's Called Scat

[@kd8199]

Check out Edgar Winter Group “They Only Come Out at Night”. Each song on the album is excellent. First album I bought as a teenaged rocker.

[@helenespaulding7562]

Example of “scat” singing….popular in jazz in 1930’s-1950’s. Don’t know if you’ve seen that before.

[@tripplelindy2]

Tommy Shannon of Double Trouble on bass

[@corvus1374]

Despite their name, the Nashville Teens were British. Their version of this song is entirely different, but well worth a listen.

Edgar's still rockin' at the age of 77.

This is what happens when two albino brothers grow up and basically hide in the house during their youth. They perfect their craft from early age.

[@shezarae8827]

I love the original! The one in the 60s was typical music for that time though it sounded more 50s, it was fast, which took it out of the blues for me, These guys made me love the song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3jYi4xsg7uLp7c

[@helenespaulding7562]

YES, I’m one of those people who believes in watching rock live, because that’s the spirit of rock….the energy between artist snd audience. Other genres not so much. But rock, metal, definitely. You MIGHT lose some of the perfection of the record, but if it’s a good band (which, come on, all the bands you’re reacting to are good bands!) the charisma and improv and energy, to keep, more than make up for anything potentially lost in accuracy. I know others disagree. More live of everything…..and you still have so much more live available to you of the great legacy bands
