the brothers had unreal natural talent

[@donaldleider7382]

This is what’s called getting your money’s worth, what a performance!

[@paulmanley7863]

I saw them play this in 1970 in LA. Listen to Second Winter with johnny and edgar at their finest.

[@kellywann3794]

Fantastic! I absolutely love the Winter brothers. My favorite Edgar Winter quote is, I started on guitar but Johnny was too good at it that I learned to play everything else.

[@evelinegordon5619]

I had the most pleasant day with them, I worked at an airport in northern Minnesota and we got blizzarded in, they were there as they'd had a concert the night before. We were the only ones in the bar, got the cards and a bottle of bourbon and had a marvelous afternoon. It was so dim outdoors that even with the huge windows they didn't need to wear sunglasses, Edgar's eyes had a hint of pale blue but his brother's didn't. I have seldom spent time with such perfect gentlemen, courteous almost to a fault. How many guys stand up when a lady leaves the table?

[@michaeltaylor8835]

So much talent

[@dedehe7582]

I just knew you would stand up for this one also!!!...thanks harri.

[@larryc3860]

R.I.P., Johnny......2 albino Blues bros from Texas tearin' it up! ------ also check out "DALLAS" by Johnny for his Delta blues roots....in my opinion, the late Johnny Winter was the greatest blues guitarist of our time, electric and acoustic.......

[@ElissaStark514]

I'm so glad you did this one!! Love it!

[@glendak3546]

Love em!

[@debbiechang5781]

Between Edgar’s multiple instruments and Johnny’s amazing guitar skills, I don’t think there are enough adjectives to describe these musical siblings. Their father had the right idea when he chose to nurture their musical talents since he needed to keep them out of the sunlight most of the time. Thanks Harri 🌺✌️

[@ronaldcrawford9310]

Thanks for requesting this one Debbie!

[@davidlitchke4964]

I was going to leave a comment, but you said it almost exactly the way I would've. Well said.

Johnny is a real guitar slinger

[@jlmain5777]

Now that’s how you play the blues.

[@jeraldkimball494]

This was what I was listening to as a teen. I was a Winter freak lol. I wore out many a 8 track and then when they came out I wore out many a cassette of thiers.

[@scottbriggs1792]

They both were great and Johnny is right there with Hendrix and Stevie Ray on guitar.

[@cojaysea]

Johnny Winter was an Albino whiter than white but his music was black as black can be . 😊

Great analogy! Irony from Ebony?

[@suzie4417]

Thanks for this one with Johnny & Edgar, two amazing musicians & singers! They had issues with their health & being albino could not spend time in the sun! They took their talents into the blues/rock World & had millions of adoring fans 💜🥁🎹🎷🎸☮️ Made my day Harri 💎

[@ronbirchard5262]

johnny and edgar winter is a must for any ones collection

[@hockemeyer1]

You need to see Edgar Winter's Frankenstein , live version. It will blow you away. More than this if that's possible.

[@davidbordonaro1631]

A childhood friend , Joe , looked exactly like him so of course we call him Edgar ! even if you do nothing else just having done Frankenstein and this is good enough for me !

[@sylvanaire]

I’ve watched a lot of reaction videos of this performance, but this is the first time I’ve noticed that Edgars scatting mimics what he’s playing on the keyboards. It’s as identical as 2 separate instruments can be! They blow me away every time I watch it. Thank the stars someone filmed it back in the day so new generations can discover gems like this. 💓

[@TheDivayenta]

These Texas boys had soul!!!! Check out some of Johnny’s solo stuff- he was a brilliant blues guitarist and singer. That’s Tommy Shannon on bass- he played with another great Texan later on- Stevie Ray Vaughan.

[@Ozarkprepper643]

👍Wouldn't it have been sweet to hear Edgar Winter and SRV perform together? ☮️✌️

[@mrnobody9104]

Tommy Shannon (Bass) went on to become part of Double Trouble SRV's Band!

[@jvsmith7888]

Johnny Winter has been my favorite guitarist since 1975 when I first discovered his solo stuff. Imagine my delight when I discovered there was even more great music from him before he went solo.

[@Vrakom]

You have to go through the Roadwork live album (part of which was recorded at the Apollo theatre.) Maximum energy.

[@dalenickey4717]

Lucky enough to seem him live at the peak of his popularity in 1973.

[@robertaccornero7172]

the guy on the bass guitar also was the bassist for Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble.

[@interrupted9671]

My hair is that exact color, but it took me 60 years to achieve this look.

[@paulmorris8762]

I saw Edgar do Tobacco Road with John Lee Hooker

[@diane-]

This is such a great song. Thanks for sharing.

[@barrycohen311]

Edgar appears to be a master of all instruments. How does he do it? Fueled by talent and drugs? Crazy talent.

[@ronforeman2556]

Talent, yes. Drugs, no. Heroin was brother Johnny's thing. He would commit himself to a mental hospital less than two years after this performance was taped to kick the habit. It would take him a lot longer to foreswear alcohol.

[@barrycohen311]

@@ronforeman2556 Wow, thanks. I did not know the backstory.

[@randyhein7513]

@@ronforeman2556 I saw a wonderful documentary on Johhny. According to the manager who basically saved his life, Johhny only did heroin for a year or so. He did methadone for close to twenty years. The manager finally bought some empty capsules and started shaving a bit off of the methadone tablets each day and putting them into the capsules. Eventually Johnny ended up taking empty capsules for a year or so, until he was told he had been clean for over a year.

[@btcolber]

Hi Harri- lets see your resaction to Stranger Blues, line in Barcelona- fantastic slide guitar!

[@andrewgarcia2576]

One word to describe this. Amazing!!✌✌☮

[@craigstern6751]

Who ordered a double of some of the finest albino blues you’ve ever heard. In addition to the other band members the saxist and bass were off the chart. Wow is all you can say after listening. Peace

[@knarf_on_a_bike]

I saw Johnny and Edgar live in Buffalo in 1976. Terrific show! These brothers made great music.

[@kenttaylor9238]

Johnny and Edgar Winter, the pride of Beaumont, Texas. I believe that is Tommy Shannon of SRV & Double Trouble fame on bass.

[@tootsie3612]

You gotta love the Winter brothers. And, I am loving the bass in this song. Bass does something for me.

[@pncombies]

The Winters brothers played here in Austin many times over the years. This was top-notch, Debbie, and they had me when Edgar pulled out the sax. Got to love the blues - great reaction, Harri!

[@donktec]

Sometimes i wonder if it just stuns a modern viewer/audience how much a performer revealed or let it all out 'back in the day' - compared to how controlled and how contrived it all is these days. Great stuff.

[@keithbrown7685]

This could spoil me. I mean really I'm not kidding. I could turn into even more of a music snob and a*hole than I am already!! I had such a lot of fun listening to this strataspheric music. Most everything else *already* sounds to me like mediocre shit, but that ranking is going to drop still further! : )

[@bella-xp7qd]

Check out the bass player, he eventually went on to be in Double Trouble with Stevie Ray

[@supasoulproductions]

Fantastic performance! Great reaction, Harri! You should def check out Edgar's band 'White Trash', he had a bandmate named Jerry LaCroix who could match him lick for lick on the sax and do 'scream vocal' harmonies with him. Just incredible! Lots of great stuff from them... 'Give It Everthing You Got', 'Cool Fool', 'Dying to Live', 'I've Got News', etc. You would love them!

[@bkm2797]

I remember these guys, really talented and great to sit and smoke a cigar and have a whiskey,lol. Thanks Harri

[@Ozarkprepper643]

Strange I was sipping whiskey myself, but I wasn't smoking a cigar.lol ✌️

[@dougieyou]

nice reaction Harri, you should do some of Johnnie's blues songs like : "Sweet Pappa John" or "Murdering Blues" or "Stray Cat Blues"...you won't be disappointed if you love the Blues !!!

[@RobertTaylor-cx2fg]

Harri, love your personailty! Love your reactions. Winter brothers were quite the performers. Frankenstein was a monster with Johnny. This was fire with both of them. Amazing voice. Thanks Harri, I appreciate your work.

[@rafaelorantes7185]

Edgar

[@ronforeman2556]

You may be referring to an early rendition with Johnny, from this same 1970 set, of what would eventually be called "Frankenstein," which The Edgar Winter Group would record for the album "They Only Come Out Night" ... sans Johnny ... in 1973. That band's drummer, Chuck Ruff, is credited with coming up with the name "Frankenstein," from all the snippets of recording tape from which the final album edit was pieced together.

[@terrywyatt8304]

Needless to say Edgar was a prodigy his chops on a sax is off the charts. This was the music that inspired one of three youngsters in my time. I didn't care about fame I just wanted to play between the sound machine and ride the magic carpet. For me there was no greater joy than playing music.. .

[@cletushouse906]

Two big thumbs up on this one Harri. Good job.

[@Beehindblueyes]

I believe that is Rick Derringer between them who is no slouch either. He usually played with Johnny. He plays a mean guitar and can rock out too.

[@l-bird]

Check out "Free Ride" by The Edgar Winter Group. It's a really fun and upbeat song from them.

[@dougjarvie12]

Thanks Harri for the Winter Brothers. A few other songs by them worth listening too are, Easy Street, Give It Everything You Got by Edgar. From Johnny, Memory Pain , Rock Me Baby, Don't Take Advantage Of Me. Been listening to these 2 brothers for 50 years and saw them many times.

[@brucewatts8447]

The greatest pair of albino brothers in rock history. 🙂

[@lindy1642]

Edgar was considered the father of synthesized music and johnny was a guitar god..

[@827dusty]

These two Brothers from Texas were so damn talented. Johnny Winter is right there with Jimi Hendrix, as far as Blues go, and were considered the two best in the world in the late 60s. Edgar has the voice, and he can play so many instruments at a high level. The Brothers are Albinos, as you can see, and had to stay out of prolonged exposure to the sun. Johnny died first about 10 years ago in his mid to late 70s, and I think the younger Edgar has also passed in the last few years. They were so Blessed with musical talent.

[@markhaus2830]

No Dusty827 Edgar is alive and healthy and still performing. NOT DEAD AT ALL!! FAR FROM IT !! THANK GOD!!

[@DJHolte]

I think you're confusing another tune by the same songwriter. John D. Loudermilk wrote this one, which was a hit for the Nashville Teens in 1964, and he also wrote "Indian Reservation" which was a #1 hit for Paul Revere & the Raiders.

Good review Harri. I had forgotten about this performance. It also reminded me of a version done by Lou Rawls at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1991. Can't remember if you've reviewed any of Lou Rawls material before. If not, it's worth looking into.

[@johnv61]

I absolutely love this song, and you had the exact reaction I knew you would. It’s one of the best performances I’ve ever heard. I’m trying to get the word out to other reactors about this song! Not many have listened to it, they don’t know what they’re missing! Help me get the word out!…;)

[@robinreiley1828]

As Young Teens, Johnny and Edgar would go to the, Black Nightclubs, Blues Joints, Roadhouses and wait patiently for that Bands to give them 5 minutes onstage. At the end of the night sometimes they would be allowed to take the stage. The 2 Whitest of White Long-haired kids. At this time, Superstition was common and just their appearance would frighten people.....and then they would play! Now people were Convinced they were some kind of Demons or had signed a Contract with Old Scratch like they said Robert Johnson had done. xNo Demons No Contracts, just 2 Brothers who loved the Blues and Practiced until they had developed their Own Style........

[@ivansavoie3190]

Great reaction Harri , can't go wrong with any Johnny Winter or Edgar. I like to recommend It's my own Fault from the album Live Johnny Winter And. Talk is Cheap from Raising Cain.

[@garyporter1702]

The brothers were both albinos, thus the white hair and very pale skin. They both were very sensitive to sunlight. I know Johnny eventually went blind from this affliction, but continued to play guitar and tour. They were both amazing musicians! Their house must have been very loud with music when they were growing up homebound! I hope their parents were into music! Ha!

[@akahina]

I miss the days when real musicians would get on stage and play music without auto-tune, scantily clad dancers or pretense of talent.

[@homegrownson]

Johnny used to say I play Guitar, Edgar plays everything Else, when touring they used to stop by a Local Lounge featuring Live Music and Sit in or Jam if not perform a Short set for fans and owner who let them have bottomless well at the bar

[@drratran]

sadly johhny died in 2014 and edgar (on sax) is 75

One of the greatest of the greats. So what is Edgar's best instrument? He definitely has a pair of lungs. I've always been curious what it would have been like to hear Edgar Winter and SRV together. ☮️✌️

Actually Johnny Winter could play all the instruments , but preferred the guitar , Edgar could play all the instruments , but preferred to stay away from the guitar and play everything he could ! And he he did a damn fine job of it !! Never seen Edgar , but got to see Johnny live three times , and the last time was about 2 weeks before he passed away , and at 70 , his fingers would still move , he jammed up a storm !!!

[@roymoore3156]

I was fortunate enough to have seen both Winters brothers. Funny/unique circumstance…the pre-band for the Edgar Winter show was a brand new band at the time…BAD COMPANY. It was fifteen minutes into the Winters show before we, the audience, could focus on him. Needless to say, Bad Company took second place to NO band, and that night was no different. The mind numbing music by Bad Co., stayed with everyone there and Edgar Winter could only listen along with us. Both were fantastic!

[@dannymoore6886]

Harri, that bass player is Tommy Shannon prior to Stevie Raye Vaughan and Double Trouble. He started out very young with Johnny Winter. Johnny and Stevie Raye are both legendary Texas bluesmen. This is basically Edgar playing with Johnny and his band. If you want to see a much better kick ass version of this song, check out Edgar Winter's White Trash Live Roadwork album. Puts this version to shame.
