[@tlynch1218]

@@ReclaimingMyChillTime I was 15 when we moved to Texas. The last thing I did on the way out was see Jethro Tull at Cobo Hall, first concert. 1972. And the first, second and third concerts when we hit Dallas... Leon Russell, Elton John, and Joe Cocker and at 67, I have stories for days. A thousand concerts later at a George Thorogood concert with Billy Bob Thornton's blues band being second act and some little blues band from East Texas opening, and Billy Bob sending his roady over to invite me back stage (I was 50) ... Naw, I'm good... George was my draw and he didn't disappoint. I bought the cheap ticket. After about 40 I went to most concerts alone so I didn't have to waste attention wondering if the person I was with was enjoying themselves instead of just enjoying everything for myself. And thinking I'm getting nose bleed at the HOB. First in line and asked where, and he said "Floor" and I about fell out. Belly up to the Bar Boys, leaning on the stage, front and center and George played his guitar in my face. ✋ I was a complete grown up adult when I realized not everybody had that experience even being the same age. I found out that Dallas had its own recording industry and everybody flew through or to Dallas and played. School night concerts, weekend night concerts, weekend three day concerts. Back to back to back because all of them were dropping albums daily and needed exposure. Led Zeppelin, ZZ top, Waylon Willie and the boys, Luckenbok Austin, Houston, El Paso, Amarillo all within driving distance with their own celebrations. And not just me. My Mom sent us all back to Detroit for Bob Seger concerts, and Christmas present concert tickets, Donna Summer at Fair Park, and the Allman brothers 1000 times and gimmee three steps sung at maximum volume and FreeBirds flying off the movie screen and "attention everybody, don't do the purple haze acid. Somebody mixed up a bad batch, in 100° heat... And of course, you never know you are living in history being made because nothing like this had ever happened. From rock and roll to women's rights to being able to work without getting your ass pinched, I would not trade a single yesterday for any other decades that followed but for the extension of my life that followed. Because without the 70s the 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s, and 20s would not make sense. Thanks for responding and allowing me to share first hand information about the glue that held us together 😘

Dig the way he plays some of the same licks on sax that were featured in his earlier organ solo. Gifted cats. Maybe because of camera or mic placement, Johnny's guitar dominates the mix. But that's a good reason to appreciate his complimentary rhythm guitar chops and smoking solo. Johnny plays cool lines in context with the chord structure and weaves them seamlessly. His solos never get repetitive. Listen to 30 seconds of any SRV solo and you've heard every lick he knew.

Damn, I haven’t listened to this in several decades. God, amazing! So good!

[@danwilliams9606]

Popular music experienced an evolutionary leap during this era. From a few sturdy blues roots it just improbably exploded, and no one had ever heard or played anything quite like it before. That was what made it so exciting for so many. This completely marvelous clip from 50 years ago is a wonderful example.

[@lisamarquez4369]

There will never be, anything as beautiful and artisticly incredible as this!ever!✝️😍

[@ultimatesaxophonelessons7822]

I started saxophone as a kid and have been playing professionally all my life, when I first saw Edgar play sax when I was 14 yrs old I was totally blown away by his saxophone playing (not to mention every other instrument). Even if saxophone was his only instrument, he was still one of the best players in this style EVER in the history of the horn in my opinion. But listening to this recording which I'd never heard before, I'm STILL totally blown away with his amazing ability on the horn!! Pure soul and amazing technique all over the instrument!! Best R&R alto player ever. True genius! Show less REPLY

[@chrissnyder5665]

Give Ed the kudos he deserves, Please!! Two of the best musicians that ever walked!! Yay, John & Edgar!!

[@scottmccullough4267]

And his bro not to bad on the guitar....!!!

[@handmadehearts]

Brothers! Growing up together in the same household. Fabulous!

[@mikemcgrath3484]

Wow

[@roymullins2282]

OMG. This is when music was REAL. Every band member played their own instrument of their liking. Of course they rocked out.

4 years tomorrow we lost the goat, all due respect to Eric Jimi Jimmy Jeff Stevie . . . And too many others, but in my 57 years even after all these years . . .rest in peace John Dawson Winter III

[@catdaddy3302]

Today is his birthday. Happy birthday Johnny, wherever you are. ❤️

[@robertraible3853]

I used to wonder how two brothers both could exhibit such amazing musical talent until a friend remarked, “I guess there’s not much for albino aspiring musicians to do in Texas summers than to stay indoors and practice.”

[@Kyle-c1n]

☠️☠️😂😂I've just discovered Johnny Winter recently and I don't know how I haven't sooner. He was everyone's influence back in the day and a master of his craft 🤘🤘🍻

[@chuckwagon5518]

Saw Johnny Winter open for Heart in 1978, in Charleston, SC. I love Heart but Johnny absolutely blew them off stage!

[@robertgodby4925]

These ol boy's born to play the Blues.

[@everettbinder2796]

Two legends that have left their mark on the music industry.

[@dh-flies]

[@lisamarquez4369]

Oh my God! This is incredible ❤️.

[@e.dbogan6266]

The best vocals of Tobacco Road ever!

[@martadolls]

I met Johnny and Edgar way back in the 60's.

[@pedrocardutra]

Ow My God!!!!! What a performance from Edgar !!!! Never seem something like it! mind blowing...

[@jacquijohnson5804]

...never realized that Edgar was as crazy as Johnny!! :)

[@horsluva0758]

Word can't express how much I love these guys, the talent they exude is ridiculous and there's no one that comes close.

[@oldfarmer4700]

I seen Edgar winter in the winter of 72 - 73 and his on core was Tobacco Road. What a treat it was and then humble pie took the stage. It was a night I will always remember.

[@rickyhiemstra9993]

[@gnaneswaranmanickavasagar7259]

A lot of Malaysians must be thankful to Blues Gang for introducing us to the Blues. My friends and me surely are.

[@horsluva0758]

Australia 🇦🇺

[@chrisbateman5358]

The very first rock concert I attended was Johnny & Edgar Winter at the Syracuse NY War Memorial when I was a round 15 yrs old in the mid 70's... I saw this done live and there has never been anything like it. Amazing talent!

[@irisessex90]

Johnny and Edgar Winter have the most beautiful eyes. Those are two boys with soul.

[@markbrennan8033]

Not enough said about Johnny Winters. I heard him for the first time in the early 70's. There was nobody like him! Clear notes ringing out. He has to fit somewhere near the top in any best guitar player conversation. Thank you for posting my favorite song!

[@winstonchurchill8974]

Beyond amazing. Best version of the song.

[@michaelgcrist]

Wow! No words adequate to describe this performance!!

[@huntrichardson]

Never seen anyone (Edgar) sing and play the keyboards and sax that well. And Johnny on top. Good Lord!!

[@joebauers8031]

Hunt Richardson have mercy...

[@taze317]

The Winters Brothers are very special to me, and very important to the blues. True players.

[@patriciadavis1393]

You know I found this yesterday and I forgot how how amazingly talented they were
