Johnny Winter - Woodstock 1969.mp4

[@Richard-mh5ll]

Johnny is not in the movie because of poor management I was there and he blew me away. I. saw him over 20 times actually got to go back stage when he played small clubs in Rhode Island. Mr. Winter was a musical genius and a beautiful spirit he talk to you like a best friend… Eight months after Woodstock I was in the jungles hunting Charlie.Losing friends in a war that we never lost. Bless Johnny and my fallen brothers!

[@lastofthefinest]

I wonder how many people that attended the concert went on to Vietnam or had already come back to see this concert? I’m a Marine and Army OEF veteran. The concert had so many amazing performances. This is my first time seeing Johnny Winter there and you’re right, it’s incredible. They should rerelease the movie and include these lost performances. Today is the 55th anniversary of the concert and I thought of it today. I’ve been watching the performances that weren’t in the movie. A lot of them were so incredible that I’m really surprised that they weren’t included in the final film. This one especially! Mountain’s performance of Southbound Train rocks too.

[@NiteMoves2010]

Brought Edgar out...I was there too. Also saw Johnnie jamb with BB King at the Newport Jazz festival earlier that summer.

I used to just watch his hands. He asked me once what I was doin’. I said “ just watchin’ your hands “. He laughed and said “ you ain’t gonna learn nothin’ by just watchin’ my hands! “. So right!!

My music budyy and I had the honor of meeting and jamming with Johnny back in '73 when he lived in NYC. We worked in a deli around the corner of his Eastside apartment and he used to come into the deli a lot and we struck up a friendship. It was just after his 30th birthday and he shaved his beard when we were at his apartment because he wanted to "look younger". He was a cordial, and kind gentleman. We partied all night with Johnny and some more of our friends. We even went to a club to see David Amram perform. Johnny turned the whole audience into a back up band for Dave. A fun night was had by all. When I saw Johnny in '69 at the Fillmore East he was using this old, beat up Fender 12 String electric (but not with all of the strings on it) that we see here. He made it sound like it was sent from Heaven. Johnny Winter was a gifted musician and a cordial gentleman.

True master of blues, Beaumont TX home town proud.

[@golfhound]

Johnny Winter made Blues popular on a national scale. I know this is open for debate, he, Roy Buchanan and Rory Gallagher were the top three White blues players in the 60's that put White Blues on the map. Clapton, Richards, Page, Duane Allman and others followed. I would say it is a tossup who was the greatest of the three. But Johnny Winter certainly did more to promote and push blues into the general public awareness than anyone else. I think he also needs to be credited as the finest slide blues player ever. For all of you SRV fans out there, Johnny Winter's best material is not available anywhere except in the memory of those who got to see him live in the 60's and early 70's. SRV is not in the same league as Winter - just different. Most of his live blues was mind boggling phenomenal. Jimi Hendrix was a Winter fan. What Johnny Winter did for blues music was as big an impact as Babe Ruth for baseball. And until his death in 2014, he was still an incredible blues guitarist.

My thanks to my ex's track member roommate who got the three of us up close and center to a festival seating concert at our university in 1972(?). The line-up was Randall's Island, Johnny Winter and for the final, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers. Johnny blew the house down - just destroyed it. Mayall put us all to sleep in the ruins. Never so disappointed in a legend. Saw Edgar the following year with J. Geils Band as the lead-in band. Again Not disappointed. Two fantastic evenings with the Winter brothers.

Johnny Winter deserves a lot of credit. What is happening here I think is historic, although I doubt if the general public quite understands or appreciates it. Johnny Winter has single handedly taken the deep southern blues of Robert Johnson Etc., amplified it and performed it in front of 300,000. That's "Over The Moon" if you ask me. I was there...!

The bar was packed and the show was sold out. I was determined to get in. I climbed up on top of a van outside the bar and jumped in through an open window.

Still remember seeing Johnny at the Fillmore East in 1969 headlining over Chicago and Blodwyn Pig. This was right after Second Winter came out and Edgar was with him. They played songs from that album plus more. It was fantastic not to mention how great Chicago and Blodwyn Pig were. Tickets I believe were in the range of $3 to 5. Hard to believe but true. Saw Johnny before he passed away at the Iridium in NYC. He was seated through the gig but still sounded great. Hard to top these memories but I saw many great shows in my teens over in NYC. Later had the opportunity to do the club scene in New York myself at CBGBs and other great clubs up on Bleeker St. All great memories. J. Winter R.I.P.

Le plus grand talent de l'histoire du blues ❤️🎸

[@clydevarner5682]

Johnny was a great musician. Love his style of blues man. It is electrifying! I always thought that he was underrated. Hope he is now rated with the best that ever did it! Legendary. RIP Brother never forgotten!!!

😎Finally get to see this! Shame it wasn’t included in the Woodstock movie.👍🏼

Because Jimi (maybe) would have been upstaged. Or he was in many musician’s opinions.

All of 25 years old in 1969. What a talent!

The solo during the ‘bass drum intermezzo’ is legendary in itself
