I got to see Johnny Winter 3 times , the last time was 2 weeks before he passed away , he walked out on stage by himself and jammed up a great show ! The first 2 times I seen him , he did get help walking onto the stage , but not the last time , and I got to sit about 5 feet away from him in the front row ! Incredible ! Johnny is on the guitar , and his brother Edgar plays everything else ! They can both play any instrument , but Johnny mainly plays the guitar ! Johnny has been in my top 5 of guitar gods for years ! Now you'll get a bunch of requests for Edgar Winter playing Frankenstein !

Thank you Old Metal Dude ! Ned from Spain here and a giant fan for 50 plus years and saw him live in 1978. He was unique and always surprises me even after hearing the same songs again and again. One of my favorite LP's by him is " Still Alive and Well " from 1973 when he had just gotten clean from a rehab clinic. It was like a tsunami of passion and rocked so hard it made the needle jump off the platter. All of his albums especially the first batch on Columbia and most of the Blue Sky ones are blistering classics.

Saw Johnny in his later years, they walked him on stage sat him down in a chair and he took it from there...one of the greatest of all time, he restarted MUDDY WATERS career and brought the blues to white audiences. His brother Edgar is a multi instrumentalist a great talent. The bass player went on to play with SRV.

Edgar Winter Group "Frankenstein" Is really worth a listen.

[@StatsJedi]

LIVE version of that as well, please.

[@peterrichard446]

Best workers in the album called Johnny Dawson Winters

[@ivansavoie3190]

Bass player is Tommy Shannon who went on to be Stevie Ray Vaughan Bass player,

[@WilliamWarlick]

They were superbly unique, Johnny was a world class blues guitarist, he's passed away sadly, Edgar on keys and sax is still rockin! Two albino Texan brothers who are dearly loved by many folks. They made good music.

[@rachelbrachman1510]

Both Winter brothers were way talented. In 1988, Johnny became the first non-African American inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame.

[@simply_psi]

One of my favourite performances from these 2, what a talented family.

[@ed.z.]

They were mainstream with the rock blues scene, internationally. I’m 73 I was there.

[@PaulImprota]

Progressive blues is precisely what it is termed.

[@buddyhek]

Johnny on guitar, Edgar the younger bro on organ,sax and vocals. Saw Johnny back in 71…..brilliant.

[@user-qy9du3xq5o]

Being a metal guy you would love the Edgar Winter group, Frankenstein. Fits in a genre called monster rock. It's pure instrumental. Johnny Winter was a celebrated blues guitarist in the nineties.

[@lucasroth7922]

In the nineties? You mean 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s brother.

[@scotclark7399]

Johnny used a thumb pick. Amazing how each of those rapid fire notes are so clean and totally defined.

[@matildafishes9931]

Thanks again for checking this out!! ❤😊

[@podunkcitizen2562]

To paraphrase a band title that Steve Martin is involved with: Men with instruments who know how to use them!

[@rickburke6936]

Listen to Johnny Winters( Mean Town Blues) 1971 cph live, Johnny is amazing on the guitar!!!

[@user-py2iu4vn8t]

Saw Johnny Winter 7 times in his heyday 70's and 80's.Never disappoints. One of the greats. He is a blues player but his rock songs are great.

[@ivansavoie3190]

Johnny Winter influenced a lot of guitarist period

[@ed.z.]

@@ivansavoie3190 true! And not just is the US. Winter was a huge hit in Europe.

[@Rickro72]

Listen to "Frankenstein". Edgar Winter. Amazing insane🤟

[@karlaklaus-hoobler5685]

The albino brothers couldn't go out in the sun so they spent time indoors with musical relatives and learned various instruments and they learned them all very well. I think johnny is 19, years old here.

[@ronhuycke]

Lol I saw Johnny at the gutter in little Rock. A bowling alley/pool hall. About 100 or so people there. He turned that room inside out. Great show. Leon russell was on deck. Fun shows

[@donaldjackson1490]

Check out “Save the Planet” from The Edgar Winter Group, from the White Trash album featuring Jerry LaCroix

[@markdecker6190]

There is so much great content out there for both brothers. I would humbly suggest checking out Johnny Winter's first album on Columbia records. Just a white white guy authentically playing black black blues, including Tommy Shannon who plays bass, who's the same guy who played with SRV and Double Trouble (another rabbit hole worth going down!).

[@richardpierce7819]

That guitarist would be Johnny ( one of my guitar heros ) my number 1 favorite guitarist ( and biggest influence ) would be Duane Allman.

[@user-mk5xc4ye9t]

Johnny shredding on guitar. Edgar played everything even drums. Johnny has been more or less forgotten but he was a star in the Blues revival late 60's. Playing guitar to him was like breathing, lightning fast but tasteful. In the mid-70's he was kinda sorta metal, loud loud loud. A guitar god. RIP

[@elenaorujev3494]

Amazing!!

[@waterlec8718]

I had a 1960 Fender Jazz Bass... From my understanding it was the first year they came out...✅

[@ROCKGRINDER12]

I am also an "old metalhead", as I belong to the end of the 60s to the middle of the 70s and from 1979 to 1985 with the N.W.O.B.H.M. invasion ......... but I have an appreciation for old heavy blues/hard rock bands, I have their live 1972 album "roadwork" where you have a better version of this kind of heavy blues song, it kicks ass all time I play it, also in the album there are 3 hard rock and roll songs that get you on the mood when you're working out or doing something around the house.

[@StatsJedi]

Johnny's "scat" is as good as anyone's.

[@bobturnley2787]

It was always great to hear Johnny and Edgar together even though Johnny usually stuck to the Blues and Edgar liked playing some Jazz and Rock and Roll.

[@darthshrek1]

Great band, one of my classic rock favorites. But, I'm surprised you weren't given Frankenstein as the first song to get you going on them. They were music geniuses, and their influence does spread far and wide.

[@matildafishes9931]

I was torn when requesting a first song. I love both, and I'm really glad Turk gave it a listen.

[@JS-TexanJeff]

I've discovered SO MANY musicians decades late....you're not alone. I've been aware of the Edgar Winters Group for a long time, but I have definitely not given the proper investigation into their music. Thanks for this! FYI, both Edgar and Johnny are (were) Native Texans :)

[@jamieburgess1460]

The best video I have seen, the second is "Careful with a fool".

[@johnv61]

Keep Checking out both Edgar and Johnny. They didn’t always play together. Johnny was considered one of the best blues guitarists of all time. Word is somebody asked Jimi Hendrix how it felt to be the best guitarist in the world, and he said “I don’t know, you should go ask Johnny Winter”….lol

[@richardpierce7819]

Dude are you in for a treat 1:25

[@terrybonham8336]
