JOHNNY WINTER - LIVE 1970 COPENHAGEN - FULL SHOW

John Dawson Winter III (February 23, 1944 - July 16, 2014), known as Johnny Winter, was an American blues guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, singer, and producer. Best known for his high-energy blues-rock albums and live performances in the late 1960s and 1970s, Winter also produced three Grammy Award-winning albums for blues singer and guitarist Muddy Waters. After his time with Waters, Winter recorded several Grammy-nominated blues albums. In 1988, he was inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame and in 2003, he was ranked 63rd in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".

I remember going to a Johnny Winter concert in KB Hallen in Copenhagen round that time. I remember it was more of a rocknroll show and the band had boots with high heels and color full costumes on. The band that warmed up played loud like hell and I remember thinking when Johnny goes on he it is going to change that cause he play better so no need for this stupid loud volume. He cranked the up the volume to even louder lol. They where doing this funny dance while playing and it looked fun like hell in their color full costumes. I never forget that show thanks Johny

I am 68 years old and started playing guitar when I was 14...

Thanks for this vid.

[@boramilojevic]

[@theoversouls]

That's funny - I'm 68 years old as well and started guitar at age 9 and gigging at 11. My dad took my to my first concert ever to see JW at age 11 at Memorial Hall in Kansas City. It was LOUD (4 Twin Reverbs cranked). Johnny was easily my biggest guitar influence and I did the same thing - learning his licks from vinyl. Funny - white midwest kid learning blues from an albino guitar player LOL Good times!

[@hughcameron]

I am 70 and, like you, I played a single of Buddy Guy's Sweet Little Angel over and over again to try to find the notes. It was on an old record player where you could leave the arm up and it would play the single over and over again. Still crazy about the Blues.🎸

Johnny really gives it all to you, on every number. you think he would run out of ammo and do everything he knows with as much material as he packs into every tune.. I saw him live back in the 70s, but I don’t remember where. It’s not my fault. The place was full of smoke.

[@georgejordan5611]

Hard to believe he could solo at that speed using a thumb pick!

[@chriskroll4166]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Him and Alvin Lee could play so fast you couldn't even count the notes . But Johnny has those to fingerpick so he is displaying a most unusual unorthodox style. He's a stone bluesman no doubt. Those blues guys always had unorthodox styles . 🙋

[@dustyrustymusty3577]

@@chriskroll4166 I once heard Johnny say in an interview "can't play nothin' with a flat pick."

[@richardervins]

Well, go ask a banjo player. 😂 Using the thumb and two fingers you got three notes lined up at any time without having to worry about hitting the right one. That‘s nifty and fast as can get.

[@georgejordan5611]

@@richardervins , that's true for banjo but I think Johnny is alternate thumb picking here playing scalework...not sure if banjo players normally do that but probably some who can!

[@richardervins]

@@georgejordan5611 Hard to say what actually made him adopt this technique. As a guitar, banjo, and pedal steel player I know the benefits of using a thumb pick. By just putting your thumb on your pointing finger you actually get the same feeling as with a regular pick. By using the thumb pick for the lower strings and the rest of your fingers for picking the higher strings you gain a lot of speed without having to rush things. Arpeggios and double stops are a breeze. And with the kind of music he was playing, muting didn‘t really matter. I met and talked music with Johnny several times. Despite his addiction he was a very nice person to talk to and spend time with. But we never discussed his choice of pics, probably because I knew I‘d never even come close to his sphere. 😁

[@miguellogistics984]

My Dad made a comment to me some time in the late 80's seeing a Guitar Player Magazine cover in my room. He said, "Oh, so he made something of himself." He grew up in Beaumont TX, and the Winter Twins were not far behind him in school. My grandfather was by family Legend considered the best Jazz Drummer in the State of Texas. My Dad played 5 String Bass Violin in a band with my Grandfather. One night the Piano Player was sick, and thus my Dad spoke to this effect after seeing J. Winter on the Mag Cover. "Your Grandfather and I hired his twin (Edgar) to play piano that night.'" I asked Edgars age at that time, he said probably 14. I asked how he did, anything he might remember. He said the Winter boys were a little strange and Edgar came in played the gig, and said or did nothing notable. Johnny was on a prior GPlayer mag cover I believe a year before with Bo Diddley. My Dad used to call me Bo Diddlley as he would come in from work and sit down in the House Master Chair. Strange world.
