I'm 70 and have seen Johnny 6 times over the years. In my opinion...Johnny was the greatest Blues guitarist to ever walk the Earth. His incredible playing is "beyond words."

Frankly where is the originality of his guitar playing ? . Hundreds of people play this well . If you have time , watch on KZread the video of the English group The Hamsters : Live at German TV 1997 . Technically the guitarist of this trio is better .

Always thought Johnny never got the credit he deserved as a bluesman. Maybe because he came from being famous in rock.

Edgar and Rick heroes of mine as well started listening to them at14 I'm 67 now, brings a tear miss Johnny,

Johnny Winter as Legends Of Rock n' Roll band Always.thank to ROCK PALAST

In my entire life (68) I've seen 100 rock concerts. 99 of them were Johnny Winter.

Yes!!!!!! Ladies and gentlemen……………. Johnnny Winterrrrrrrr🛠️🎸🎸

The godfather of blues rock

Paul Nelson - guitar ! GREAT

Every Johnny Winter fan owes Paul Nelson and band an incredible debt of gratitude. They took Johnny back out on the road, where a real bluesman belongs. Although frail of body, Johnny's musical prowess was still as strong as ever here. His chops are as sharp as they ever were IMHO

blue monday at the rome inn in austin. t birds were playing and Johnny came in. was dancing with my gf and he was right next to us. spun my gf around and said "see that albino over my shoulder"? That's johnny winter. he later sat in and did my favorite winter song "It's my own fault". what a treat!!!

I saw Johnny a year after this in a small club in Atlanta, and though his obvious frailty was difficult to get used to at first (he only stood for maybe 1-2 songs), it was a sublime experience. I stood less than 10 feet from a legend and watched him wail away effortlessly as though his fingers were guided by something otherworldly.

Robert Johnson, Charlie Christian, T-Bone Walker, Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Eddie Van Halen and John Dawson Winter, were the only blues rock souls the Muses ever allowed to play good enough to revolutionize and change the game. That's the true, irrefutable sign of REAL guitar gods, a very, very exclusive club indeed. SMIB

That mimics my experience as well! When the guy walked him out holding his arm, I thought "uh-oh".. Turned out he blew us away! I was about 15 ft away.

Man, I really like Paul Nelson. He is a truly rare and awesome person. He took care of Johnny for so many years, with perfect grace, and was protective of Him, without ‘getting in the way’. Amazing guy. How does one find somebody like Paul? How many folks can you trust? Answer: “No one”. Unless it happens to be Paul Nelson. He was very kind to me, as well. And I really appreciate(d) him for that, and for the fact that I got to see who he is, for real. “Thanks Paul, for talking care of Our buddy, Johnny”. “Thanks Johnny, for teaching Me, how to Play.” Much love to both of you guys. ~ Arthur di-Ku SilverHawk ~

@silverhawk Amen Brother ,Met Paul at the Queen in wilmington De. My wife at the time bless her heart came home happy to tell me she got Johnny Winter tickets knowing that I've loved Johnny since I was 9 when Johnny And live came out I liberated my Dad's copy and commenced to play the baseball bat to every tune 😂 ,she didn't know he had past away. So we saw Paul and the Boys Great show!! I found out later what Paul had done ,had I known I surely would have thanked Him

I saw Johnny Winter every time he ever came to Vancouver British Columbia the first time he introduced Rick Derringer to the world. The last time I saw Johnny it was unreal because he got to play with the person that I actually think is the greatest guitar player in the world has ever seen or heard and no one is anywhere is even close to having his speed that man.. Alvin Lee. To see Johnny Winter and Alvin Lee the same night was just awesome… to really appreciate the speed of Alvin Lee first listen to Johnny Winter play good morning little schoolgirl then listen to Alvin Lee play good morning little school girl the difference in speed is 1 to 10 Johnny Winter being one Alvin Lee 10. The deal is Johnny Winter is nowhere near being a slow guitar player peace…

I saw Johnny for a 1 hour concert in Berlin/Germany. It was a highlight of my concerts. And I`m 67 age

Awesome Performance as allways what a great Guitar Player Johny was and vocalist too¡ All Star Guitar Player and Band ¡🙏🙏❤❤🎸🎸

Johnny was my first concert ever !!! The tour, with Foghat opening the concert in the 70's. Saw him at Harrisburg Pa. in the Farm Show Arena. What an amazing concert that I will never forget !!! He will always be my favorite guitarist !!! His blues/rock and roll playing not to mention his slide use, was out of this world !!! RIP Johnny, you will always be my best !!!!

He rocked blues guitar like no one else

Johnny Winter truly missed, what a concert and what about the band, just amazing, Paul Nelson great guitar player. Johnny blues legend

One word... Phenomenal. ❤ Winters and nik Turner, so allike and never gets old.

Incredible man.

I will never forget the first time i saw him in 1088 - i was freaking out brvaude i could not believe how amszing he played! Omg!

Such a powerful Blues - illustrated man, the BLUES community is missing you! Just keep on playing with all the other legends above, Jonny!

I was in a band called silk in 1970 we opened for certain and Johnny winter in Cleveland. Johnny stole the show. he was fantastic. 😅

I know Eric Clapton and Johnny loved and listened to each other's music. You can hear each other's influence on the other when you listen to them play. What wonderful musicians they are and were. Our world was blessed to have them come down among us and visit for a minute.

Just no other like Johnny Winter!!

Johnny Winter you were so Hot and a master guitar player ….long live Johnny Winter !!!

Legend

I saw Johnny & Edgar open for Blue Oyster Cult and ZZ TOP at Anaheim stadium on the world wide Texas tour, they dropped a screen to keep the Sun of them, they hit the stage after 3pm on a hot day and absolutely tore it up. To this day it's the best show opening act, only because Humble Pie only played 45 minutes and the Winters set 90 minutes.

I saw this same show. 1976, I think. It was in Santa Barbara. I was in the Air Force, stationed at Vandenburg .I left before ZZ Top came on because I peaked. Nobody could top Johnny and Edgar together. I think they used that tarp because being Albino would do some damage to their skin.

Saw this line up in Milwaukee. I'm glad I was able to see Johnny play! I had never seen him before that. Though it seemed he was quite frail, his guitar playing was really smooth and effortless. Just thankful I was able to see a true legend and pioneer of progressive blues/rock in person!

I saw Johnny in 1975 in Winter Land,SF, and was surprised when they closed the upper bowconel down do to the lack of ticket sales

Winter is coming back!

I was trying to recall the first of many times I saw Johnny Winter so I went to my ticket stub collection. It was in Toronto in 73, and it was actually Edgar Winter’s White Trash we went to see, and when it came time for the encore, Edgar said “we have a special treat for y’all tonight, come on out Johnny”. The arena erupted as this legend with long white hair and wearing a full black cape came onstage and literally rocked the house with Johnny B Goode. I saw him a few times after that, but that first time was well worth the $6.60 😂

I saw Johnny for the first time in 1992, then in 1993, and 1994. Saw a difference between '92 and '94. Then in the early 2000s I noticed a definite decline. Saw him for the last time in 2009. A much better show. Paul was his manager and 2nd guitarist and he was getting his "growl" back. Took a friend to the show who didn't know who Johnny was until I loaned her some cds. Afterwards she was hooked.

ForEver a LEGEND, I have been a Long time Fan and Riff Stealer. Thank you for the AWESOME Lessons. REST IN PEACE Johnny ✌🙏

Saw Johnny & his band at The Catalyst in Santa Cruz, CA. in '81. Was my first time seeing him even though been a fan since 1969. Great concert similar to this set. People forget Johnny & his little brother Edgar played their first big gig at Woodstock '69 and then became one of the biggest Rock acts in the early '70s with his band Johnny Winter And, with Rick Derringer. Edgar went on to form White Trash and later The Edgar Winter Group (again with Derringer). Great to see them all on stage together again. A blues legend, indeed.

I remember watching him for the first time on The Old Grey Whistle Test, he simply blew the 13/14 year old me away. He was pretty much unheard of in the U.K. at the time (sometime around 73/74). I went into school and saw the guy I played guitar (very badly) with and simultaneously we said "Did you watch TOGWT last night‽ Did you see the skinny blonde guy‽"

GOD BLESS !!! I miss you JOHNNY...................(RIP)

Excellent, what an historical concert with full of surprises, I love it ! 🌼

I got to see Johnny in Houston Tx in the mid 70s played at a converted bank into a club. Played awesome one of the best performances I experienced.

At 74 I’ve been to more concerts than I can really remember, many were forgettable. Johnny was absolutely fantastic with his unique style. I will tell you though, the one player that stood out the most for me was Stevie Ray. Never had I seen such energy and passion and sound coming out of one man. It just flowed and I was totally blown away and for me he is the greatest blues player of all.
