defiantly my favorite albino guitar player

56lp · 06-26-2011, 11:43 PM

Thanks for posting that clip.

I have seen Johnny live a couple of times in recent years, he played great at both shows.

Great find. Thank you for this.

Your welcome.

Same here. I'm still amazed by his talent every time I see him.

Shame the original YouTube poster got the song title wrong---that's "Fast Life Rider," a number Winter cut for Second Winter.

Johnny Winter And...Live

Seminal album in my youth.
I saw him a couple of times.

redking · 06-29-2011, 11:04 PM

You may also notice a VERY young Tommy Shannon on the Fender Bass too!!

Good Catch. I always wonder if "FAST LIFE RIDER" was the original name for the song. It works ..but

Sounds a bit like a replacement for another title., that may have been taken. Oh Well

One of the best blues players

Killer playing and tune!

Side note, Edgar sure has one monstrous zit on his cheek lol
Cannot help it, I notice the small details
I wonder if it turned into a talking boil like the one in "How To Get Ahead in Advertising"?

Another from the same gig ??? Fabulous anyway.

Winter is a giant and a living legend. Responsible for producing Muddy Waters lp, "Hard Again." For that we owe him an unbelievable debt. Not to mention his contributions as a guitarist.

If you're young, see em if you can. He won't be around forever.

ElectricMagick · 08-05-2011, 02:09 PM

It's a damn shame, the toggle switch tip gremlins got him too.

cheeseflavor · 08-05-2011, 02:47 PM

I saw Johnny at the Cabooze here in Mpls, MN years ago. Was an incredible experience to actually see him live. Easily one of my all-time favorites. His version of Bob's Highway 61 is great.

Never saw a vid with him and an LP before, I don't believe.

He pretty much resurrected Muddy's career. Had it not been for JW, I wouldn't have learned about Muddy for another decade or so. Bless his heart, he's a bluesman. A real bluesman.

James Cotton was great on that album. Crosseyed Cat was my fave off Hard Again

FF_Pedals · 08-05-2011, 04:03 PM

He's playing a free show in Kitchener Waterloo tomorrow afternoon apparently. I hope it doesn't get rained out.

J.T. · 08-05-2011, 05:16 PM

Wow. Just wow. Great posts. Nice spot on Tommy Shannon - sounds just the same as he did with SRV. And isn't that an Epi Wilshire Johnny's playing in the second clip?

FF_Pedals · 08-07-2011, 09:22 AM

Here's a photo I took yesterday:

He brought out the Firebird for some slide near the end. Absolutely incredible.

Thumpalumpacus · 08-07-2011, 11:50 PM

Sweet!
