[@richardgraves958]

I was with Johnny and Edgar in high school. They were the best musicians I’ve ever known. My bass was not even in the same universe. Thank You for this, brings back good memories.

[@itsjustmeMike527]

I grew up down the road in Groves, graduated from Port Neches-Groves H.S., then went to Lamar. Johnny and Edgar made us proud.

[@richardgraves958]

@@itsjustmeMike527 absolutely, Janis Joplin did also. I jammed some with her.

[@nelsonx5326]

So cool you knew them.

[@erniegibbs4002]

Janis Joplin country,also.

[@Fargo2024]

Damn man ! I'm in my 60s and how I wish I was you !! God Bless you brother...I know this post is 8 months old but I'm just seeing it now ....im sure you have some good stories ??

[@fw1421]

I find it amazing that now that he’s been dead for quite a while now that people are just now finding his genius with the guitar. I first saw Johnny and Edgar in 1970 when I was in high school. One concert and I was hooked. Great musicians. Johnny was a monster with the guitar and Edgar was the boss with keyboards,percussion,and saxophone. I was fortunate to see him at the Dallas House of Blues in the early 2000’s when he was quite an old man and had to be escorted on stage to a chair to play. But he still had the skills,amazing performance that brought me back to those early high school years. I still listen to Johnny and Edgar’s music today. God Bless you Johnny!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@edprzydatek8398]

His brother Edgar is amazing too.

[@leosag816]

Johnny was the real guitar God. No gimmicky playing behind his back. His speed & clarity are unmatched. Just shear talent coupled with relentless practice as a child & young man. He & Edgar, musical geniuses.

[@user-xs1dn6nr9o]

I fell in love with Johnny Winter when my brother brought home his first live and I heard him play. 'It's my own fault' . The best guitarist ever .

[@peach495]

The guitar solo on It's my own Fault" from the Johnny winter Live album is the best ever recorded in my opinion. The version of Johnny B Goode on that album is also the best recording of that song.

[@MDavidG1]

@@peach495 Indeed an amazing performance, with Rick Derringer sharing guitar duties.

[@Alexo1954]

I had that album too and "It's my own fault" set the bar for blues guitar playing. Blew Clapton out of the water.

[@davidbentley145]

In his prime Johnny was a monster player...truly awesome ! We are lucky such footage still exists that showcases his brilliance...

[@stevecocran4899]

That's a very nice compliment but Johnny won a Grammy six months after he died in 2014 and this April his brother Edgar put out a tribute album to him with his music and other stars playing on it that won a Grammy so I would be careful with the word Prime

[@Selynn.]

I saw him live 20 years ago, well after what someone would consider his "prime" and he still blew me away. It was a festival in Italy, I was there to see Robert Plant, I never even heard about Johnny. That night changed everything. "Prime" is subjective.

[@2008PLS]

I never knew how good he actually was until the last 10 years. He's really a brilliant player with a good sense of melody and rhythm, a legend!

[@fredmay2492]

The Texas tornado was just built different! Started listening to JDW back in 1970...Johnny could hold his own against any guitarist in his day.. RIP Johnny

[@36karpatoruski]

In his day or any day!

[@carylawson-le7og]

The rockingest albino musician along with brother edgar both rockn their snow white hair & albino skin & their pink eyeballs. R. I. P. JOHNNY

[@827dusty]

Johnny Winter is maybe in the top 2 or 3 Blues guitarists ever. I had an old Backlight poster of Jimi Hendrix and Johnny Winter as Rock super heroes in my bedroom back in 1967. Those two, along with Rory Gallagher, are my top three of all time.

[@daveguitarnowski4402]

Yep, that's about right!

[@ericleonard2835]

Add SRV for a top 4 mixup

[@algrap1954]

You left out maybe the best ever, Skydog Duane Allman.

[@royrocker9004]

3 great choices but may I suggest you add SRV. Stevie Ray Vaughn was the G.O.A.T. in my opinion.

[@barrydaws4602]

spot on

[@randygray8921]

Seen JW 3 times in Portland Oregon. I think second winter is my favorite record!!

[@dianaholliday5694]

One the best ever!

The late, great, Johnny Winter. Shredding with the best of them. Nice selection, Cynthia!

[@thomasvee329]

Johnny is the only guitarist with a lick for every second of the day! Met them all...Johnny, Tom Compton, and Jon Paris! Love your "Johnny Summer" and "illegal" comment!!! (:

[@lindanoreika893]

I saw him in concert along with chuck berry doing a guitar- off. At the Filmore East. Mind boggling!

[@chellj8175]

The whole family was talented musicians!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@lancevaughn432]

Next , Johnny Winters group, Frankenstein. And then Johnny and Edgar Tobacco Road..

[@kevingrady8736]

There was a time back in the 70s he was considered the fastest guitar player in the world.

[@loilt5091]

Sure he was fast, there's a lot of fast players...that means little to seasoned, aficionados of the blues. He was a game changer, a true maverick who paved the way for many blues rockers, with a gutsy, fast & fluid virtuosity like no other, before or since. Driven by an absolute & sincere passion for the genre, a collection of several thousands of vintage blues records, dating back it's early, 20th century, recorded origins. His original Columbia era drummer, Uncle Red Turner, testfied how he could literally play any of those songs at will. Tommy Shannon called both he and his younger brother, Edgar, geniuses. Here's an early example of his greatness, with Uncle Red Turner & Tommy Shannon; kzbin.info/www/bejne/boXcmGiJf6mjn7M

[@markwilliams5606]

Woodstock ✌️🍷. Him and Ted Nugent

[@sdgakatbk]

@@markwilliams5606 Yes I liked his performance at Woodstock. I also liked Canned Heat's set.

Him and Alvin Lee

Amazing talent guitar and voice yet a very humble man. Rare qualities. Rip john dawson winter the third.

[@MDavidG1]

Johnny knew he was good, and always thought he would be successful.

[@daveguitarnowski4402]

we were blessed to see musicians who would actually jam their asses off for every gig back in the 70's.

[@superblastpressurewashing.7256]

my all time favorite player, they don't make like this anymore. Love it.

Very glad to see you feature Johnny, he was a huge influence in my musical journey. The speed and attack he had was killer. A true bluesman, I miss him.

I was lucky enough to see him live. The man could transport you to another dimension.

[@davidmckenzie420]

So glad you're listening to this master guitarist. Among those who Hendrix called "the best," Winter was one.

[@georgehorner1578]

Johnny was a bad, bad man, when he played the sky would turn black and thunder and lightning would start to flash! When he was on tour it was, lock your doors at night, Johnny Winters has come to town.

[@loilt5091]

W I N T E R There’s nothing funny about his music.

[@johngulino2651]

A great classic by Johnny, “Meantown Blues.”

[@Raittway]

Love Johnny Winter. Incredible musician and kicks azz playing/singing blues. His album "White Hot and Blue" is one of my favorites. RIP Johnny true blues Winter

[@loilt5091]

Thanks for mentioning that oft forgotten gem, a personal favourite of mine👍🏻

[@hopcat500]

i saw Johnny and Edgar Winter back in the early 1970's and concerts then were raw and really rocked!

[@stevenminnerly5336]

My parents bought me the first Johnny Winter album for Christmas 1969. They were not really hip parents either. They were just big on audio equipment and records.

[@astrogoodvibes6164]

''Dallas'' and ''TV Mama'' are two steaming hot tracks by Johnny

[@scotttrainer9704]

One of the greats!

The man was awesome. Had fingers longer than any I've ever noticed. Threw a little Yankee doodle in to boot.

His rhythmic approaches to some of those lines is mind boggling.

Just LOVE that little bar of Yankee Doodle in the solo!

[@discernment8963]

Give a listen to Jumpin' Jack Flash, off "Johnny Winter And, Live" also. It's by far the best rendition of that song too. Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited is another incredible version!

[@ivansavoie3190]

About time the true GOAT, should check out Bony Moronie Live, Jumping Jack Flash live 1974.

[@johnxgalt8312]

This is totally amazing!! Hendrix did an awesome version too. Johnny didn't get the recognition he deserved.

[@mikemet1744]

I saw Johnny not long before he passed. He played at Infinity Hall in Ct. He stayed after the show to sign anything anybody wanted. He rocked. I miss him. Rock on.

[@BoltRM]

I got to see him a couple of yrs before he passed. When he came out, a guy lead him out to a wooden chair & I was thinking "uh-oh..this is going to be sad".. Then he started playing like you wouldn't believe, really wailing on the guitar! I was in shock & thrilled. Glad I got to see him.

[@jimmyjennings4089]

You need to hear Johnny Winter play blue's especially slide, he has a delta blue's style which muddy waters once said he wish Johnny was his son.

[@kurtsherrick2066]

Johnny Winter was my first concert when I was in 7th grade. The two warm up.bands were Bon Seagar and Wet Willie.

Could you thank what people would think of this in 1954 when they hear this it’s hearing iggy pop playing his music loud the first punk group

[@telephonetlm]

Muddy Waters said that Johnny Winter was the best Blues Guitarist he'd ever heard in his entire life. He did a version of BB King's "Be Careful With A Fool" on his second album that showcases some of his very best playing. Check it out.

Thank you Cynthia for this awesome clip. I saw Johnny back in the 90s at the Sacramento Blues festival. He was an absolute force of nature. Blew the entire crowd away.

[@slowfinger2]

You nailed it. He WAS a force of nature. Few can stand alone like that. Hendrix, Beck, Healy, Jaco, and Edgar Winter to.

i saw johnny live several times, what a great talent. i recently saw a photo where from 1962-johnny was playing bass guitar backing up country singer george jones. and, johnny played with a thumbpick. he was quite the shredder with a unique style.

I saw Johnny in his hey' day...all he did was walk out on stage in a black robe, just him and a a spotlight...he simply said " YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH ! And we never left our feet ! This was 51 yrs ago !!! He was just the best in those days. I was 15 yrs old and swore one day I was going to play like that! To me he made that guitar talk ! I'm now 66 I'm as close I suppose as you could get at playing like him...but there will never be another. Simply the best !!! 🎶🎸❤️

Great video trust me nobody's that good at anything

Amazing player.

[@bobhoffman9848]

His version of "It's My Own Fault" has some of the best blues guitar I've ever heard.

[@arukapinaka5564]

Absolutely TRUE !

[@juiellineau]

his entire concerts are played at 150% every song every concert he is the absolute best blues guitar player no exeptions!. seen him many many times and always plays like a forest fire or tsunami he blows everyone away!!

[@user-xs1dn6nr9o]

It seemed to me that Johnny never got his just deserts as far as being one of the greats of his time. I'm so glad that many have now come to realize just how great he was. Too bad most of these people never got to see that 150% he gave every time I saw him , and I saw Johnny Winter live @ 40+ times since I was 15 I am 66 now . I am so thankful I grew up with Johnny Winter's music . He was the best but seldom got the recognition respect he should have. And he was a real humble good guy to boot ! I miss you Johnny

[@pablolazaromartinez3541]

I was Lucky to see him live in my hometown in 1991. LOVE Johnny ❤️ rest in peace

[@dougca7086]

If you haven't, react to Tobacco Road by Johnny and Edgar Winter, live!

One of the best guitarists ever. His playing of the Mississippi Delta Blues is another talent he gave us besides his mesmerizing kick-ass rock and Roll. Check out "Mean Mistreater".

[@dougieyou]

THANK YOU....THANK YOU,,,for doing this reaction to the one and only Johnny. He has some of the best rock and blues albums ever. He is right up there with the greatest guitarists ever. BTW: I was at this show and it was awesome. You should try his take on The Stones "Stray Cat Blues" or "Let it Bleed" .

[@loilt5091]

Exactly! Nobody covered the Stones as well as Johnny. They wrote Silver Train in his honour‼️

[@dougieyou]

yes they did and he even does it better than their version...lol@@loilt5091

[@sergebrunet4218]

Well ! LoL ! Johnny be good by this guy ? are you kiddin me ? That s what we hear when you say his name ! I saw that guy live in a small venue like this one ! at Le Spectrum club on Ste-Catherine St. in Montreal ! So that place is alot better than going to the forum or the Olympic stadium ! it s a club with tables and waitresses serving whatever you like to drink ! Most people drank beer ! Cowboy boots, hat and all ! that cowboy plays Guitar ! the funny part is it was unexpected ! i was just walking by the club and watching all the people getting in ! So i checked the poster of who was playing and saw it was him ! OMFG it ignited electricity in my body ! i went to see if i could bye a ticket and i did and found a nice table on the mezzanine right in the middle and it wasn t far because it s a small place ! Wow ! i ll never forget that and i really enjoy this stream tonight ! thanks !🤠

[@petervandervlies6427]

Wow, nice, i saw him in the Netherlands in a verry small hall, he was amazing. 👊👍😁

[@marktaylor2502]

This may be the infamous gig where a thrown bottle just missed him and he walked off after scolding the crowd

[@user-xs1dn6nr9o]

Chuck Berry would be very happy & proud !

[@janepiper-lunt7655]

I saw Johnny first in 1969 at the Texas Pop Festival but again around 78. He was opened by one of Dallas’ best guitarists, Johnny challenged him to a battle and he left the local guitarist in the dust. Out of respect I don’t want to name the other guitarist but he couldn’t compare to Johnny.

[@loilt5091]

Nobody in their right mind would try and out sling him playing blues…I know, respectfully, that Duane Allman once boasted he could “cut” Johnny. I’ll readily admit at THAT point in time, Duane’s slide playing was more developed & nuanced. As a straight blues guitarist…forget it Duane⁉️

[@mariarealmartin2844]

Que maravilloso gracias Harri

[@marybaillie8907]

My oh my Cynthia. Just a great choice. Winter's arrived early. Lol Such a great electrifying tune. Perfection. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Cynthia. Magnificent choice. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@carlosfigueiredo7876]

Despite Johnny Winter released his first solo album in 1969, I really started enjoying his style when I first heard Muddy Waters' album "I'm Ready" - 1978 (in fact Johnny produced this album too). After that he became one of my favorite guitar players due to his superb technique. Some of his albums (i.e. "Guitar Slinger" - 1984; "Serious Business" - 1985; "Let me In" - 1991; or "Hey, Where's your Brother?" - 1992) are truly legendary works in Blues history. Dear Harri, time to really discover Alvin Lee (Ten Years After) skills as well. You have already reacted to some of their musics, but in fact you've been missing the best of them. Strongly suggest you to react to "Ten Years After - I Can't Keep from Crying - 8/4/1975 - Live Winterland Official". Check also Leo Lyons skills on the bass guitar. MONSTERS!!!!

[@bert0522]

I have some his earlier work, his Imperial album us excellent. Jim .

"Guitar Slinger" and "Serious Business" were two of my first twenty CDs/

I'm Ready is phenominal!

[@bloozswami]

Johnny really had a lot of soul in him. Been listening to him since I saw his debut in the Fillmore East 69' or something. But, his first two albums were fantastic. "Drown in My Own Tears". If you never heard it do it now. You won't regret it.

[@Stacker-qt3sv]

Ah, I commented about him on one of your videos, he was incredible, I've got at least 10 shows... he knew how to get a crowd moving! This was a typical encore song.

[@slowfinger2]

This lineup played in Toronto, in around 1987. Opened for George Thorogood at CNE Stadium. On top of Johnny and the great drumming, that bass player was really impressive.
