Love it...! Have followed Johnny for 50 yrs. This performance was his first national TV appearance and the height of his recovery. Guitarist Paul Nelson made it his mission to 'nurse' Johnny back to health. Johnny was wide-eyed, playing was confident, his voice was strong and he was having a great time. Outstanding...!!

[@gregparrott]

Thanks for that perspective! I thought surely, he had performed on national TV SOMEWHERE in his illustrious career. I saw one performance where he performed well, but his eyes remained closed. What was he recovering from?

This guy was the ultimate player and this performance without even considering that he was starting to die is amazing - it was tight and the resident musicians joined in at a tasteful place where the sound just got really solid. This particular classic has to be played straightforward and in your face which is exactly how they all played it.

those were NOT "resident musicians" he was playing with, it was Tommy Shannon (Johnny's bassist and, later on,Stevie Ray Vaughn's bassist) and Uncle John Turner Johnny's drummer). These two guys were Johnny's original band when he was first signed to Columbia in 1969 and played with him on his first two albums for Columbia (Johnny Winter and Second Winter).
