Jonny LANG - A quitter never wins - Live in Paris @TheNewMorning - 10.10.1997 (BEST VIDEO EVER)

PLEASE READ FULL DESCRIPTION BELOW :
Back in time ... when Jonny was more on the blues edge... Astounding for a 16 year old guy (Jonny was born in 1981, and this video was shoot in 1997). Here, you can see him delivering his skills with plenty of heart into this incredible track. Other thing : he began to play guitar three years before this show took place.
I was in awe in 1997. I still in awe.
This is to my eyes the best Jonny Lang video ever, and maybe the best video ever I've ever seen from any performer, from classical music to pop-rock. RAW GENIUS, RAW GIFT. UNBELIEVABLE.
I already put this video on KZbin but there was synch problems. However it was seen 52 000 times. No it is OK, no synch problems anymore.

Jonny probably never picked cotton, but he has the soul of 70 yr. old Bluesman!

[@timlummus1766]

Could you just imagine, imagine for a moment, him and Stevie Ray on the same stage. I'd give a years salary!

[@tommiedarnell68]

Don't forget about hendrix

[@michelewills6755]

I wish 🤞 I was there man. You are a blessed person forever.

[@michelewills6755]

Put salary in to that pot Man

[@michelewills6755]

He makes Clapton look like he's trying too hard.

[@jwmson7791]

Never got to see Stevie Ray, R.I.P., but I’ve seen Jonny many times and I’ve always left in disbelief (and truly blessed.) Takes your breath away!! “A vessel that the music flows through ...”. ♥️♥️♥️

[@mandymorrisonhamilton5941]

16yrs old Jonny is here lv it he's Awesome man!! On the gutair oh! Yeah! xx he's no quitter xx 2019/20, Who's still listening ???? X

[@mandymorrisonhamilton5941]

Thks for liking, maybe tell me u who else u like yeah!

[@gelflingmama]

Since the beginning. We’re almost the same age, I was amazed someone as young as me had this much raw talent. I miss this style of his.

[@graveyardghost2603]

Hell yeah! Him and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Buddy Guy, Johnny Winter.

[@priscilagarcia7576]

Watching in Feb 2021 ✌️

[@cherylb2098]

Love it. Still listening. Saw him in Richmond Va many years ago. I have seen many concerts but I almost could not believe my ears !!

[@horsewithnoname8795]

Jonny's talent is enormous, he was born with blues in his veins...I am blown away!

[@OrginialDiamondGirl]

Arguably one of the premier guitar players of our time..

[@gelflingmama]

Wow. I forgot how raw his older performances were. Chills, baby, chills...

[@cyprescrow]

Totally f.......ing amazing. Why the h doesn't he have a couple of million views? Awesome. Born to play the blues.

[@liamfoley3832]

One of the best !

[@kristenalmonte1110]

He is amazing! Never got the recognition he deserved.

[@julienguillaume5010]

Kristen Almonte maybe a little valium would have helped

[@MariSundell]

@@julienguillaume5010 he's pretty amazing but yeah I agree value may have gone a long way I love to listen to him but I have a hard time watching him

[@julienguillaume5010]

Mari Sundell. Actually his singing is weak (faky..) People were impressed by the guitar playing. But they wouldn t like the singing that much. Like an unconscious feeling. He s been manipulated by the industry. Family should have been wiser end send him to berklee or something. I heard he had a hard time when he became an adult. Check out freddy king. He shouted the blues but abolutely no out of key notes. Muddy waters could mumble and shout. Same. John lee hooker would never shout. It s sad but johnny lang wasn t that in time. Close but not in time. Like mick jagger lets say. That s why the guy sings so strange. Lots of time and energy wasted. Too bad

[@MariSundell]

When I said I like listening to him I didn't mean his voice I love his guitar playing just some of his videos he seems a little to put on..maybe not but no I don't care for his vocals and generally I do love to watch guitar player working his craft, there's nothing sweeter actually but just something about johnny that rubs me wrong I guess peace

[@julienguillaume5010]

Mari Sundell yep that s what i mean. He s out of time. I used to like him when i was his age and jamming around town like i want to be johnny lang myself. But now time has past and i still sing and play. i don t get fooled or fool myself with his singing and played. His back guitar guy is the actual Man on the guitar. Kid was manipulated. That s the nicest thing to say. Peace

[@Blondewithtools]

I remember when Jonny Lang first came out. I was totally astounded and blown away by his guitar playing and talent. Fabulous!!

[@vincentburnett8044]

cj jae hell yeah

[@gelflingmama]

And how YOUNG he was with that heavy, grown voice!

[@hollaatthekid1796]

I have listened to him since he was 13 yrs old and now he is 39, wow we getting old.... I am 4 yrs older than him.

[@jindandy7826]

OMG!!! He just alwz gave 110% & can't stop lovin his amazing gift!!!

[@gablen23]

he was 16 years old when he played that, wow :o

[@mkrpa2741]

Still the most mindblowing performance of this song EVER

[@pamzavada5269]

Wait! I think I just died and went to heaven

[@salahuddinmuhammad3251]

He has both the deep soulful singing and the amazing guitar playing. Both

[@Lee4364]

God Danm.. I am breathless and I am not playing it.....This kid kill's is it does not say enough

[@dkjazzz]

Jonny plays and sing with so........much emotion! like no other!

[@McLarenF1God]

Definitely the most Steve Ray inspired performance and probably my favorite performance of Quitter Never Wins I've seen him perform. He was so much more raw and bluesy when he was young.

[@KK-111]

Absolutely one of my top music videos. Thank you so much for sharing. The 16 yr old blues Jonny Lang: Force of Nature... :)

[@lawrencejohnson7175]

Music just isn't made like this anymore..

[@Rickie_Speed]

So true. Doesn't have heart anymore.

[@dedicateddoorllc9055]

Have you been to your local live blues bar lately?

[@hughcallaway5487]

Jonny becomes totally the essence of what he's singing about. That emotional strength and authority is so rare. Check out Janis Joplin as another example of this high art.

[@freefromit2]

Born with a guitar pick in his hand and a lifetime of understanding the blues.

[@ash-tz9cq]

I'm just mesmerized at how good he was at such a young age!!!

[@lanemarienall7085]

5 minutes in I feel like the. Ghost of Jimi Hendrix is creeping in. Woe. This is truly amazing. I also as Johnny Lang. Is born in 1981. So y'all KNOW I'm feelin this vibe tonight. And forever more.....

[@jessedean5927]

I can't understand why he is not listed as lone of the greatest guitar players ,and has never won any awards!

[@gerardhaubert8210]

He used to play the Pomp Room in Sioux Falls, SD when he used to have his parents with him because he was only 16

[@glennathea]

[@michaelfeder2104]

Passion meets talent. Jonny, we want a concert of THIS!

[@jakelaguna2278]

I posted the text below for his video "on the darker side" last year...Still keep hoping he will get back to these roots and style of playing... What a talent....jlg... God Blessed this young man with the gift of music and the blissful pain of the blues... It pours out of every pore he embodies... And to be only 16 when this was recorded has the chops of those such as Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, Gary Moore, and just a few others that I believe were not as talented as he is... I wish he would come back to these roots, although he is still very talented today, just a little more refined and defined... This was raw and real... An amazing celebration of the blues at such a young age... I have been watching and listening to him since the very beginning, and this is my favorite live show he performed. I got the chance to see him in Indianapolis at the vogue in 1998, and he was absolutely phenomenal, basically playing this same set... He opened for Little feet, and blew them off the stage... Maybe he peaked too young... But no one can say that this music will ever lose it's raw realness and life,pain, and hope... All parts of being alive...

[@davidcopperfield-notthemag397]

First album Jonny did he was 14. He is gifted. I love his younger videos and songs the best for the intensity and soul!

[@jeffscott8323]

Other kids up to no good but hes being creative. Excellent. Show makein something for himself I admire that.

[@seanmcbride1]

I remember back in 97 I was just a teen back in India when his first album came out Lie To Me, I was 16 and was blown away by the fact that a kid just an year older than me could sing and play the blues like he could. Some people are blessed with talent. Shame he didn't turn big, cause he's really good.

[@ThomasWBaldwin]

this kid has real blues. that is why.

[@msadair43]

He recorded it at 15 and it was released on his 16th birthday!

[@musiclover9361]

He DID turn big!

[@Iamsome61]

Such a signature Jonny song...he still sings and plays it like the first time. This brings back memories! Love ya love ya!!

[@johncox7288]

This guy is just great . So young with so much talent and sings bonus

[@lindaburfield89]

I feel in love with this 'Kid' back in '97 and vocally campaigned to anyone who would listen about this phenomenal 16 year old who captured my soul and caught the ears of so many highly respected blues musicians. Started out as Kid Jonny Lang and the Big Bang. I saw him live in Indiana with Susan Tedeschi, another teenage incredulous talent (now married to Derek Trucks of the Allman Bros.), who opened for him and about lost it. Wish he would have stayed single and not gotten into finding God (my personal opinion, of course). Marriage to a model tends to distract so many great talents. Will still always love him, though he's "breakin' me".

[@julienguillaume5010]

Linda Burfield Come on. Johnny lang? There are many sixteen year old who don t don t do shit when they are 25. It only takes good ears and a teacher to be kid johnny lang or monster mike whelsh or susan tedeschi. But its a different story to be Prince, the kid of cincinnatti or freddy king the texan bull or maybe jj cale, i don t know. When one doesn t make it in the industry it s nobody s fault. Maybe one should just work on a better new song better new album better singing better playing.

[@michaelschleifer9986]

Glad to see you Jonny and band, sounding fine

[@Toulousadub]

Amazing Jonny Lang! greetings from France!

[@romainmarengo]

Raphael Beilvert Merci Raphaël ! Je suis Jonny depuis 1997. Sans doute son meilleur morceau live, et la meilleure version de son meilleur morceau live. Et Monsieur avait 16 ans... Ça calme 😱

[@Toulousadub]

@@romainmarengo 1997? je crois que moi aussi, je suis de 1981 aussi;) je me souviens des sessions blues sur RTL le dimanche soir:)) as tu eu la chance d'aller le voir en concert?

[@romainmarengo]

Raphael Beilvert Oui je l’ai vu en concert 6 fois et j’ai pu lui parler 3 fois. Il est super posé backstage alors que sur scène j’ai jamais vu un artiste plus impressionnant. A l’époque on avait fait un site de fans européens, on n’a plus le temps de gérer ça donc il est off maintenant.

Thx for the post, made me remember why I first started listening to Johnny! This style of playing from Johnny is astounding, full of passion, intense blues! Johnny, we need some more of tie old style. As a musician I understand the change at times in generes, expanding the horizons, please add some of your old styles as well, you ripped so fine Johnny!
