I used to just watch his hands. He asked me once what I was doin’. I said “ just watchin’ your hands “. He laughed and said “ you ain’t gonna learn nothin’ by just watchin’ my hands! “. So right!! Now I play, but nothing like this and never will. He is one of the best ever

Johnny is not in the movie because of poor management I was there and he blew me away. I. saw him over 20 times actually got to go back stage when he played small clubs in Rhode Island. Mr. Winter was a musical genius and a beautiful spirit he talk to you like a best friend… Eight months after Woodstock I was in the jungles hunting Charlie.Losing friends in a war that we never lost. Bless Johnny and my fallen brothers!

That was crazy.... Johnny is amazing!!!!!!

I am 67 and I saw them all, Cream , Stones, Stewart , Clapton, Dylan , Marriot, they all are examples of the great era of the rock but nobody has his voodoo, tex mex , blues feeling all together , great voice if you ask me who gave me the spine’chill in a concert is him. Unknown and forgotten in this world of lies.

Gran maestro de maestros Johnny Winter no hay más, lo seguirá siendo hasta el final.

The first time i heard Johnny Winter i was living in Lima, Peru hanging out with all my surfing buddies in 8th grade ('72) and my best friends older brother put him on the turntable...that record didnt come off that turntable for a month. I cant believe i didnt know until today he played woodstock. Hearing his music brings great memories from simpler times.

Saw him once in a deserted bar give a FLAWLESS performance (there was s a snowstorm so no one came out). He didn't miss a note. As an amateur guitarist, I followed him envisioning playing what he was playing and got bowled over. He was so fast and so accurate.

Johnny Winter deserves a lot of credit. What is happening here I think is historic, although I doubt if the general public quite understands or appreciates it.

The RRHOF is a hyped up crock. Johnny is way above their level.

Johnny Winter made Blues popular on a national scale. I know this is open for debate, he, Roy Buchanan and Rory Gallagher were the top three White blues players in the 60's that put White Blues on the map. Clapton, Richards, Page, Duane Allman and others followed. I would say it is a tossup who was the greatest of the three. But Johnny Winter certainly did more to promote and push blues into the general public awareness than anyone else. I think he also needs to be credited as the finest slide blues player ever. For all of you SRV fans out there, Johnny Winter's best material is not available anywhere except in the memory of those who got to see him live in the 60's and early 70's. SRV is not in the same league as Winter - just different. Most of his live blues was mind boggling phenomenal. Jimi Hendrix was a Winter fan. What Johnny Winter did for blues music was as big an impact as Babe Ruth for baseball. And until his death in 2014, he was still an incredible blues guitarist.

My thanks to my ex's track member roommate who got the three of us up close and center to a festival seating concert at our university in 1972(?). The line-up was Randall's Island, Johnny Winter and for the final, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers. Johnny blew the house down - just destroyed it. Mayall put us all to sleep in the ruins. Never so disappointed in a legend. Saw Edgar the following year with J. Geils Band as the lead-in band. Again Not disappointed. Two fantastic evenings with the Winter brothers.

Although he passed away his music will be remembered forever!!

He was the master. Gave us 45 years of great rock and blues. Hard to believe he was only 25 years old in this.

My music budyy and I had the honor of meeting and jamming with Johnny back in '73 when he lived in NYC. We worked in a deli around the corner of his Eastside apartment and he used to come into the deli a lot and we struck up a friendship. It was just after his 30th birthday and he shaved his beard when we were at his apartment because he wanted to "look younger". He was a cordial, and kind gentleman. We partied all night with Johnny and some more of our friends. We even went to a club to see David Amram perform. Johnny turned the whole audience into a back up band for Dave. A fun night was had by all. When I saw Johnny in '69 at the Fillmore East he was using this old, beat up Fender 12 String electric (but not with all of the strings on it) that we see here. He made it sound like it was sent from Heaven. Johnny Winter was a gifted musician and a cordial gentleman.

His whole life revolved around his music from a very very young age. Johnny Winter is what you get when you dedicate yourself to your muse and let nothing get in the way. The special talented individuals are what make life so exciting to experience and enjoy and also to inspire.

I was fortunate to have seen Mr. Winters back in the day. First time was at a large venue, the opening act was Lynyrd Skynyrd and the second time a few years later was at a small bar. The bar was packed and the show was sold out. I was determined to get in. I climbed up on top of a van outside the bar and jumped in through an open window.

Johnny is one of the most under rated US guitarists. I saw Johnny a couple of times in the army 70’s and they were fantastic concerts. Later on in 2003 I believe,I saw him at the House of Blues in Dallas. He had to be escorted on stage to a chair because his back was so bad,but his performance rocked. He hadn’t lost any of his licks in all those years. Rest In Peace Johnny,from an appreciative fan.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Wow! Jonny Winter, Hendrix, Santana, Janis, The Who, Joe Cocker, Ten Years After, Sly, CCR, to see any of these acts BY THEMSELVES in their prime would have been the musical treat of a lifetime. All of them together at Woodstock......

j grau Alvin Lee of Ten Years After was the best guitarist on that weekend

Johnny was a great musician. Love his style of blues man. It is electrifying! I always thought that he was underrated. Hope he is now rated with the best that ever did it! Legendary. RIP Brother never forgotten!!!

Without a doubt one of the hottest guitar players in history. I saw him live at UMass-Amherst Student Center in Spring 1986. Roy Buchanan opened for him. Roy was sonically incredible. Then Johnny blew the roof off with the hottest live blues rock licks I've ever heard to this day.

What a show. Two of my all time favourites. If Rory was there too I would have been 200% blissed 💜

Saw Roy Buchanan several times , used to call him caterpillar fingers, incredible talent, died tragically 🎸

Watching this video is truly amazing. On one hand, you can hear why so many people didn't get Johnny. What hurt him was his use of the mic.....his southern drawl (as so very cool that it was) made it hard for some to hear just what he was singing. From here, that has got to be the only reason this star never fully achieved hitting the heights that had been projected for him. In my opinion, on guitar, NOBODY can touch what this man did with a six string. Nobody. I love all his music and sincerely wish that millions of others understood the passion this man put into it. There will only ever be one Johnny......so glad I got to watch him do his thing on stage half a dozen times...….Long live the real Blues icon. Cheers Johnny. Gone, but never forgotten.

@KB Dee, I get what your saying about Johnny never hitting the heights projected, but in many ways his style of picking on blues or rock was so unique and unparalled one could argue he did achieve at least his full ability, not being his fault his vocal and/or guitar style was misunderstood by some, but 110% appreciated by those in the know. I was turned onto Johnny Winter in 68' after the release of his first album "The Progressive Blues Experiment" at the age of 13 by my late older brother who was 14 years my senior. He turned me onto a lot of great music from that era when I was a young teenager, may God bless his soul. But in regard to Winter, lest we forget, it wasn't long after the release of his first album that Winter caught his biggest break when execs from Columbia Records were in the audience at the Filmore East in December 1968, at a show by brilliant guitarist Mike Bloomfield(who Winter had jammed with in Chicago) and Al Kooper of Blood, Sweat, & Tears fame. Winter had been invited by Bloomfield to do a song at that show. Winter came out and performed B B King's "It's My Own Fault" to a huge ovation. Spotted that night by those Columbia record execs, within days they had signed Winter to their label and payed him what was reportedly the largest advance in the history of the recording industry at that time, the tidy sum of $600,000. Imagine that, a poor lower middle-class albino kid from Beaumont, Texas advanced more than a half-a-million dollars in 1968 money to sign with Columbia Records on what was just the second album of his career.

In retrospect, both Hendrix and Winter were equally brilliant, with different styles of playing the Blues. Rock guitar reached some sort of virtuoso peak during that era.

Rest in peace, Johnny! You were a damn legend and truly a treasure to behold and to gaze in awe and wonderment at your sweet, sweet guitar licks. ROCK ON FOREVER!!!

I'm so grateful that I grew up during this period generation of Rocks Dema Gods the greatest Guitar Players including Johnny Winter, Love that 12 String Rickenbacker, They don't [play music like this anymore

Yes, we were sooo blessed. At the time, we did not realize it though!

Saw Johnny in a small LA bar in 1977 with only a few peeps. Should have taken the time to see more of the greats back then.

Johnny had a rock sound like no one else, I love his Highway 61 song

Woodstock turned me onto my two most important guitar influences...Johnny Winter and Alvin Lee! RIP guys and thanks for all the great music you left behind!

never saw this until right now and I'm glad i did. got to hang with JW a few months back he's a cool cat

When I was 17 at the beach camping for a year, doing nothing, I listened to Jonny Winter's record everyday. 'Good Morning little schoolgirl', I tried to learn to play this song. Now I m 67, n still listening to his song. I m an Asian, but at that time, we all got caught up in the the 70s rock n roll music, n Johnny Winter, Elvin Lee of 10 Years After were our favorites. I don't know anybody played the guitar like Johnny.

I saw Johnny in Ft. Smith AR at a fairgrounds concert. He was there with the lates Jerry Reed and Wolfman Jack. I remember standing just feet away from Johnny while on stage in front of me wearing his infamous moccasin boots and vest. Blew me away but I was probably too young to really appreciate his talent and skills. That was also my first concert I was about 9 maybe 10 years old. The year would have been '78 or '79
