Johnny Winter has played with so many great Blues guitar players I've never heard them all. I never listened to KZread until 2 years ago. I always played my technics stereo equipment with six feet tall speakers and I had thousands of old vinyl albums and that's not enough for me. I'm still looking for more old vinyl records and I treat them like gold. Kick up the music and I play it loud to shake me till I'm feeling good. I like to shake my house, body, mind and soul.

Rare to find a guitarist who combines breathtaking technique, blistering speed and innate musicality while effortlessly pulling it all together night after night. Johnny Winter was such a musician. A legendary bad ass slinger who still inspires countless to this day. The blues has truly lost one of its giants. Shockingly Johnny Winter has not even been nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! A sad indictment of a cultural institution purportedly founded to recognize artists from a variety of popular musical genres and seeking to "engage, teach and inspire through the power of Rock & Roll". SAD !!

NEVER EVER do I get bored of Johnny's never-ending solos. 👌 Big thank you K&B for the music & pics.

Love Johnny! Always thought he was one of the very best blues players around. Got to see him with Rick Derringer, J Geils Band opened. They all walked right in front of us, a foot away, man were they stoned, LOL!

The playing on the alligator records he made, Guitar Slinger, Serious Business and Third Degree is like fine wine. I had the pleasure of seeing him twice in Montreal in the 80’s and his playing was flawless, a true master of the blues.

Saw him open for Steppenwolf in 1970 with Derringer on 2nd guitar and Edgar on drums. After their incredible set people just walked out on Steppenwolf, including me. I'll never forget seeing Johnny Winter And!

I went to an Edgar Winter White Trash concert at the New York Academy of Music, and a Johnny Winter concert broke out. Johnny was a surprise quest. He played like he was from another planet. Then after the show he was just hanging out by the exit holding his Firebird in its case. The thing was so big. It was like he was holding some serious weaponry. It was very impressionable on my 15 year old mind. Some 50 odd years later, he still has me awe struck.

I literally cannot count the number of times I’ve seen Johnny; all the way back to his first band, with Uncle John Turner, and Tommy Shannon. I was a 14 or 15 year old whippersnapper, talked my way into his dressing room (security was WAY different in those days), and had a nice chat with him. He said something to me I remember to this day: I was just trying to learn to play slide (thanks to his inspiration), didn’t know much about it. So, I said, “Hey Johnny, is playing slide guitar hard?” He looks at me sort of quizzically, and goes, “Everything’s hard.” God Rest you, sir…

Yeah I agree. This was within a year after he got the Lazer (or started using it primarily), and switched to it being his main guitar; using the Firebird for slide songs. The year before, he was still exclusively using the Gibson. I liked him on the Lazer because he played it (mostly) more in a "clean" channnel without running it through a phaser like he did the Firebird.

I saw Johnny play several times in the late seventies and early eighties. At one show in a small club on a hot August 9th, our sweat was condensing on the overhead pipes and dripping back down on our heads like rain. The bassist at that show was named I.P. Sweat! This was around the time of "Nothin' But the Blues", "White, Hot and Blue", and the two records he produced for Muddy. The Firebird was still his main guitar then, he hadn't yet gotten the Erlewine Lazer shown here.

@@jchow5966 , I think Randy Jo Hobbs may have been the bassist at the other Firebird-era Johnny Winter show I saw. Hobbs played bass on Johnny's "Still Alive and Well" record (I have a quadrophonic LP of that album).

I saw him in Toronto in the early 70s had his first alp when he broke out what a talent! One of a kind! 🇨🇦🎼🎸

Seen him twice in Columbus oh. The roof came down, people jumping around hands in the air beer flying everywhere…insane.

I was lucky enough to see him twice at a small venue.

I would’ve loved to see John Lennon play with Johnny. Somehow I think Lennon loved this kind of R&R.

Thank you, K & B Archives. Got to see J.W. Many times in the '70's and early to mid '80's! Always a great show.

My all time fav guitar slinger, fortunate to see him play 10 times, Johnny was overshadowed by his contemporaries, in my book he was the best white blues artist ever!RIP JOHNNY

“Captured Live” is a Must have Album…

Johnny Winter and live album was Rick Derringer also there actually was Johnny's least favorite album! Can you believe that wow! He made more moves on that fretboard then it's humanly possible therefore he must have been a god a guitar God for sure. I have been Johnny Winter fan since 1970 in 2012 he autographed my shoulder for me and I got to speak about 20 minutes with him unbelievable! I had wanted him to autograph my shoulder for 42 years at that time. Too bad though as it was so hot and humid by the time the tattoo shops open the next morning the lines had bled out so far that it was not possible, head shine my shoulder with a sharpie I know it was there a 42-year long fantasy had come to light. Thank you very much Johnny I hope they have guitars in heaven maybe even a Gibson Firebird! Rest in peace my friend!
