Johnny Winter - Mean Town Blues ᴴᴰ (CPH, 1971)

[@markmoil3012]

The attention that the audience gives is superb..............no selfies.........no phones.............living and listening in the moment ! This 67 yr old kid misses those days so much.

They listen but seem bored. How come nobody dance? I always moved, still today, wether it was Blues, rock or any music

[@markmoil3012]

I think they are not bored but rather , they are absorbing the sounds with rapt attention.Also this is not really dance music. Glad you are still moving and enjoying music. Cheers @@daniellea5603

I think Johnny is one of the most underrated, overlooked guitarists in history

[@johnhaller7017]

I picked up on him when Second Winter was released at about this time 71'. His version of Highway 61 revisited on that album is a life changer. Johnny explains in the liner notes of the original Vinyl, that they only had enough new material at the time to record three sides of the double album. The fourth side of the double album is like a black mirror, no tracks. A piece of collectible magic.

I have been playing slide for 38 years. It has to be said that no one plays like this. It is part blues, part rock, part creative explosiveness but at the end of the day can not be categorized. So much feel, power, and raw expression. We can copy but there will never be another like him.

[@theswampfox9584]

I agree I don’t believe I’ve heard a better slide guitar player than John

[@MichaelWinter-ss6lx]

I've seen Johnny play live a few times, and it is heavily dependant on the audience what he plays; bluesrock, or pure rock'n'roll, or even jazzrock, or any color and mix of these. Who's also almost that versatile, is Eric Burdon; also seen often. I'd have loved to have seen them both together on stage!

[@rcoker08]

Bought First Winter in 1968.

[@johnhaller7017]

Just as at Woodstock for this song, Johnny does a seamless change to slide without missing a beat. He was up there with the best of them. This particular trio format worked really well for him and was an enduring one. They were a great outfit.

[@stretchhfab7315]

Jonny taught jimi hendrix to play slide, headlined Woodstock, had the biggest recording deal ever. Guy was a legend before 40

Way back in about 1969/70, at a little club, Tommy asked my buddy and me if he could sit at our table to wait till it was time for his band to go on. He said his band was called "Winter". We had no idea who he was. Or Johnny. When Johnny walked in, thru the front door...what a sight! He had a girl on his arm. I'm sure he was awesome, but I can't remember. We were just young teens and had nothing to compare it to. It was at a little hippie type club here in Houston called Love Street Light Circus. 😎 😻✌

I don't thing anyone every played bottleneck better than Johnny Winter. The man played the blues with incredible feeling, soul, and great creativity and technique, while being totally authentic. But even though they call it the blues, I was never sad listening to him play, in fact, quite the opposite. If I was down or low energy, hearing him play always brought me up. He always played with great energy and spirit. He totally loved playing the guitar and showing people how happy he was to perform.

Leave it to Johnny Winter to use only 6 strings on a 12 string guitar and make it sound like 24. He was friggin' great. RIP bluesman.

[@Da_Xman]

@Shukin Andjivin Sounds like 6. I've seen pics of him with this guitar. It's hard to see in this video, but listening to it, there's no other strings ringing than the typical 6.

[@2011littlejohn1]

I think he used the guitar set up like that because it lent itself to his style. He often used a thumb pick and used his fingers to pick strings so a wider fret board would be the logical thing to use.

Saw Johnny at the Felt Forum in NYC in 1975, again in 1978 Painters Mill in Owings Mills, MD. Great shows...RIP sir.

[@kerrysocha3507]

Saw Johnny and his brother like 3 times in the early 70’s. Love them both!!! ❤️

[@stilldreamin57]

This is Johnny's original band that signed with Columbia. "Uncle" John Turner on drums /Tommy Shannon-who went on to be SRV's bass player for about two decades. After never being in the right place at the right time to see Johnny, including the show where Edgar brings out Johnny, the late show at Howard Steins Academy of Music in NY. I was too young to go to the late show because we had to take the L. I. Railroad and there were no trains that ran late enough. Me and my best buddy who had been going to every Edgar Winter show thinking maybe Johnny will appear, missed Johnny again. Finally, in little Olympia, WA around 1987-88, Johnny played this small club called "Detroits" and played just about every song from his very first pre-Columbia days, "The Progressive Blues Experiment" which I had brought with me, and watched Johnny with my chin resting on the stage and tears rolling down my cheeks. It's the only time I've ever yelled out, "play Johnny B. Good," - he was "Johnny B. Goode."

Heard this waaaay back in the late sixties on on of my favorite albums. "Johnny Winter And......Live". It also featured the amazing Rick Derringer on 2nd lead. He really benefited from Johnny's influence. The live version is even faster than this one if you can imagine that. You can't think "TexasBlues" without thinking of the great Johnny Winter!

[@garymack8070]

Was so lucky to see them at the Fillmore East ! Had never seen anything like it before , just a mind blower 😜

[@xpump876]

"My Own Fault" on the Live JW AND was imho the coolest Blues guitar playing ever - both Rick and Johny were truly magical on that cut

[@MopedMike]

You hit it right on the button brother that Johnny Winter and live album from 72 is one of my favorite albums of all time

[@guitarzan34]

@@MopedMike The version of Jumpin' Jack Flash probably made the Stones take notice too! Johnny was truly one of a kind.

[@74dartman13]

I almost wore out that album. It just blew my mind! Later on, I saw Johnny at a small club and it was one of the best shows I ever saw and definitely, he was the best guitarist I ever saw. Infreakincredible!👍😎🎸🎶

[@hmackie6823]

love the speed of his songs keeps the drummer on their toes literally

[@clarkewi]

I bought this 8 track tape when it came out 1971. So awesome.

[@rubenrcs]

I did the big vinyls lol don't scratch them seems like yesterday ... no one like him best blues ever

[@clarkewi]

@@rubenrcs I got to see Johnny Winter and Rick Derringer trading leads at Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in 1970 or 71. God they were good.

[@douglaskirkland8271]

Saw him sitting down in Tallahassee. Rocked and Blued the house down!

[@justinmosier87]

my first album johnny winter live, been hooked ever since. rock on Johnny RIP

[@jamesmartin7595]

Great kick ass beer drinking music. Heard this first on the live album Johnny winter and. His slide playing is the cats meow.

[@stephenthomas3085]

Mesmeric. Johnny Winter was the real deal. Unbelievable stuff.

[@hmackie6823]

I am a huge edgar fan but YES Johnny is in a class all his own

[@nblackmore]

Be Careful with a Fool. Johnny could play the blues (and rock). Saw him 4 times live. I'm 65 and got into him when I was a teenager. Lay Down Your Sorrows is still one of my favourite all time songs in this world.

[@desirecandon5789]

Dear Norm , I live in Paris (France) and I am almost 60 years old and I heard this song for the first time when I was 16 and I use to listen to this and others stuffs of Johnny until today because Johnny Winter was just the best in blues and rock . He will always ALIVEforever and ever. Peace.

[@pckpat]

Saw JW first time in '73- Still Alive and Well tour (concert bowl-Maple Leaf Gardens-height of his r'n'r fame). Then touring the Winter 88 album in a bar in London (Ontario that is) Then in the 21st century in another bar here in London. He was sick then and sat the whole time. Been into Johnny's great blues since I was about 13 and I'm 65 now. The blackest-sounding white man ever, imho. (Capt. Beefheart a close second).

[@roszela1]

His solo on Be Careful with a Fool is my all time favorite guitar solo-hard to beat. He was a really good singer too. Listen to him singing Drown in my Own Tears...It will knock you down.

[@peach495]

@@roszela1 Yes, I've always felt his guitar solo on Be Careful With A Fool is one of the greatest studio guitar solos ever recorded. I also think he owns the greatest live recording of a guitar solo. From the Johnny Winter And Live LP / 1971. I'ts My Own Fault.

Going on 70 soon and just bought an SG. Been a big follower since the 60’s

[@anthonydecarlo8602]

One of the best! Saw him in 71 a concert I'll never forget!
