This is pure magic. No pedals, just straight into the amps. Johnny, his thumb-pick, cord, amps. Nothing digital at all. All analog. Saw him then and every show I could when he came to town after that. Just fantastic. Watch his pinky finger bends. Awesome. Ive been trying to do these pinky bends for 40 plus years and close but he does it so easy. Randy and Richard are awesome. What a power trio. Great is an under statement.

Rock and roll at its best 🎸🎸🎸 I seen him a few times at the Capitol in Passaic, N.J. and at Roosevelt stadium in Jersey City New Jersey. And just before he passed I saw him 😂 at the Mayo in Morris county NJ with Leslie West.R.i.P. 🎸🎸🎸🎸☮️☮️☮️

[@billridge7854]

At least they're not UNDERATED

Johnny Winter, Randy Jo Hobbs, and Richard Hughes are the perfect trio!! Love this video!!!

[@NH-ox1gr]

I know Johnny preferred the blues but this is just outstanding music!

[@karenruggiero1182]

LOVED AND MISSED, RANDY JO HOBBS ❤ FLY HIGH!

This performance is not from April nor is it from Connecticut. I was at the April show in Waterbury, and it supported the Still Alive and Well album. Best show I ever saw. He was on fire. This show is from Nov 7, 1973, from the Palace theater in NY City. Taped got Don Kirchners Rock Concert. A couple of the songs played ended up on his next album, Saints and Sinners.

[@ireneruthfox]

Winter best trio ever..... This is the s^^t.

[@StringBitch1]

one of the greatest power trios...... superior to many in that era!!!!! Stoke's no1 fan!!!!!!

[@mikeshane5856]

Saw him in 88 or 9 I'm a beginner wish I could play something close to what he does the speed is unbelievable and accurate every note counts its amazing

[@revup67]

Wow..what a find..an amazing post and gotta love this period when he did the Abe Lincoln beard..too cool for youtube.

[@bobomountin]

The Palace Theater in Waterbury had the best concerts in CT during the early 70's and this was the best of them all.

[@chasbodaniels1744]

The legendary Shaboo property straddled those two towns. Wonder who they paid taxes to?

[@chasbodaniels1744]

Yeah, the Palace was the place for great shows in the 70’s. The J. Geils Band, Queen opening for Mott the Hoople in 1974 ...

[@chasbodaniels1744]

.... also at The Shaboo: Spirit, Barnaby Bye, Dr. Feelgood ...

[@rickyhiemstra9993]

I seen him at the Capitol theater in Passaic New Jersey . Golden Earring opened for him. I just turned 65 yesterday 🥳🍻 and I might just go and buy myself the MY BRO JOHNNY C D .🤘🎸🎸

[@rickyhiemstra9993]

@@chasbodaniels1744 I saw Queen opening up for Mott the hoople in New York on Broadway . Queen's first album ⚡🤩

[@michaelbirke6050]

Johnny really wanted to rock that night!! No doubt. Dam near blew the roof off. Burned up all the oxygen. So hot, couldn’t breathe. Had to go to the hospital after the show for third degree burns.🔥🔥🔥

[@gdshdsfjhdhx8200]

Richard Hughes was the best drummer Johnny ever had rest in peace Richard Johnny and Randy

[@NH-ox1gr]

This is the best trio I've ever seen!

[@drakewaldron6243]

This was my first concert. 16 years old. Fantastic! But the show only lasted about 50 minutes. Livingston Taylor was the warmup.

[@chasbodaniels1744]

Haha! One of those unbelievably poor matchups! I saw Poco and Gentle Giant at Yale’s Woolsey Hall, and The Persuasions opening for Sparks at the Bushnell in Hartford. Makes you wonder what demented booking agent thought those would be good bills!

[@robertsehring7310]

Hi The first concert I went to was Johnny Winter at Naussau coliseum in Long island Ñew

[@allanalbert3064]

I was at this show and like Drake was also 16 that year. I always remembered what an incredibly short concert it was and couldn't remember why. Any ideas?

[@Dave-ih1xr]

@@allanalbert3064 Was this the show that also had The Ramones and Storm on the bill?

[@peterjons3954]

So glad this stuff was recorded!! Rock and Roll Hall of Fame??!!! Don't get me started on that bad joke!! Johnny Winter should have been an original inductee and these three as a trio!!

[@rockhardrockmetalpop]

Freakin´ Awesome.

[@WhosTheFuckingLion]

this is raw rock n roll, just a month before this show they realesed Still alive and well. this is the peak

[@ignorecorporatenews]

Johnny peaked AGAIN in the 80's - alligator Records, Jon paris, etc.

[@rickyhiemstra9993]

That was always one of my favorite albums and and I used to catch him whenever he played at at the Capitol in Passaic or the Roosevelt stadium in Jersey City he was really touring a lot at that time and I called him just before he died at the Mayo in Morristown rip Johnny Winters I know you're still alive and well ☮️☮️

[@junkjunk2493]

one of the best ever ... rip

[@harrylime7938]

Great!! What A Trio guys

[@chasbodaniels1744]

Unbelievably good trio.

[@ИгорьДобрый-ъ9к]

Классное было трио...

[@RobertLaberge]

Who would be foolish enough to pick up a guitar solo after Johnny Winter?

[@nothwind]

caught this show in Des Moines 1973

[@nothwind]

james Gang opened, with Tommy Bolin.....we were front row.

[@aurthurwhiteside]

Johnny did 5 songs when he was on DKRC IN 73.....Rock n Roll Hoochie Koo,Stone Country,Jumpin Jack Flash,Johnny B. Goode and Silver Train.....Best u gonna hear from that time period.

[@chasbodaniels1744]

Those Don Kirschner concert programs were really good. Live performances and good clean camera work and sound mixes.

[@chrisghiardi117]

Wow!

[@renberg19]

CLASSIC Johnny Winter ! Why won't Don Kirschner release these in their entirety?

[@ignorecorporatenews]

cause Don's dead?

[@derekscott9374]

Saw him the same year in Westport, Conn....from outside in the front of the small venue...couldn't afford a ticket...

[@jamesgregory2962]

Westport country playhouse? BB King was there and introduced Johnny and handed him Lucile.Actually might have been the bar connected to it. Don't remember.

[@gregorybertrand2223]

I missed the STILL ALIVE AND WELL show at the Chicago Ampitheatre because my parents wouldn't let me go being 16 years old. I'm still pissed! Finally saw him at the Aragon Ballroom for the CAPTURED LIVE TOUR. We saw him 13 times. GOD BLESS JOHNNY AND MUDDY

[@polcommwatcher]

Saw "Saints And Sinners" show in Springfield, MA.; early '74 I believe. Same band; excellent set. James Gang opened with a "Bang"--about fifty people in audience knew who Tommy Bolin was and the rest of us just lost it with surprise.

[@cliffnote7058]

Saw the same show 12/27/73 in des moines....Bolin...!

[@NicholasANappiNick]

That’s how you do it

[@JorgeSilva-mw2bp]

Esse trio bota para quebrar!

[@andrzejbielecki4544]

wszyscy prącuja😢

[@andrzejbielecki4544]

To nie mojmej

[@markvincenzo172]

That’s not 73,I was there in 73 that was the jumpsuit show with his then girlfriend Susan. This is 74 .

[@jamesgregory2962]

Did he asked the audience if we wanted to see something beautiful the take off his cape? Would like to see that show again!
