@@Jfhfi678Just got finished watching this plus Johnny playing Rock and Roll and Jumping Jack Flash from the same concert. Please bear with me because I’m trying to catch my breath. What a blast these last 15 minutes were. I know it sounds cliche, but those were the good old days. Most of my friends were Johnny Winter fans. Went to see him play whenever he came around. Can you believe it was more than 50 years ago? The old saying is so true “ where does time go?” Eventually you settle down into life but for a few brief years, man, did we have some fun. Thanks Johnny for providing the soundtrack for all our good times.
The LEGENDARY Johnny Winter came to Australia many years ago;He was recovering from his sad addiction and was getting back to top form to relaunch his career in the U.S.He wasn't that well known here by the general public but he had plenty of fans on the "fringes" of society including bikie gangs.Not being from that background I was a great Johnny Winter fan and to go and hear him I had to venture out to a fairly sleazy honky tonk called "Sweethearts" as I recall, which was full of the roughest,toughest meanest looking bikers , ("Hells Angels etc. ) and ex con's etc..There I was ,a fresh faced short back and sides young guy jammed on the dance floor amongst all these sweating, leather and denim clad blokes(I didnt see any ladies!) hearing one of the GREATEST rock guitarists of all time continually bringing the house down with his and his band's electrifying playing;it was one of the most musically exciting experiences I've ever witnessed.He must have been GOOD because I survived the night intact!!.Thankyou Mr.Winter for sharing your BRILLIANT and UNIQUE talent with millions of fans throughout the world;I hope that you are jamming it with Jimi H.etc.on the other side.
Johnny Winter, was and always will be one of the Masters of the guitar and Lord of Blues Rock, he will never be forgotten by his fans. Thanks for everything Johnny! how skilled Johnny was with this Firebird, 🎸⚡, soloing fast and turning chains at the very end. What an explosive band that was!
great guitar player, his taste in clothes is something else! Susan Warford on stage playing tambourine. Susan Warford Winter passed away at home with her family on October 3, 2019 in Charlotte, NC. Susan was 69 years old. Susan passed away due to metastatic lung cancer. Susan was born in Tampa, Florida to Earl Fleetwood Warford and Aileen Sayers Warford. She was the oldest of twins born on February 16, 1950. Susan spent her youth in Miami, Florida before moving to New York City in 1971. In 1972, Susan met the love of her life, Johnny Winter. Susan met Johnny while working as a personal driver for his manager, Steve Paul. They lived in New York City until 1999, when they moved to Easton, Connecticut. They had a happy life together traveling, nesting, and enjoying their home in Easton. Susan toured with Johnny in 1973 and played tambourine onstage as well as other percussion instruments. Touring was not the life for her as she enjoyed quieter pursuits. Susan was a talented photographer, ceramic artist, gardener, cook and rug hooker. Susan had a witty sense of humor and was intimidating to play at any card or word game. She had a smile that lit up the room. Susan volunteered as a candy striper in her youth and also volunteered at her church in New York City. Susan had a soft spot for cats and always adopted senior felines.
In 1973 when I was 16 my big brother took me to see Big Daddy Cool at the Hollywood palladium and what a show lt was Johnny play a fantastic version of too much seconal it came out on the bootleg album it's the only live version if you want to know everything there is to know about Johnny get his book raising Cane
Haven’t seen such an amazing drummer for a long time!!!, was very difficult to find information about Richard Hughes, RIP my fríend you’re a truly inspiration
I saw this lineup with Richard & Randy Jo at the Greensboro Coliseum in jan'74. just kickin' ass & takin' names. loudest band I ever heard indoors. clean probably close to 120 db. amazing playing. Richard was all over the drums, & maintained the groove. randy Jo was walking the dog on the bass & johnny was sliding home🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
@@NicholasANappiNick! Yea ! Nicholas ! You have a good ear or ears for talent. Check out ! Leslie West of mountain. My all time favorite band. You might like there music.i didn't follow Edgar winters music tho.
Oh Hellz Yeah !!!! Johnny Winter Has Infamously Always s Did One of The Best Johnny B Goode's Ever..I Would Have Loved to See Him and One of His Greatest Friends Jimi Hendrix Have Done a Version Together Live.... I Could Die Then 😀😀😎💯💯
I saw johnny winter live ! At the Toledo Ohio ;; sports arena with James gang around 1971. Real good concert. Allot of fighting in the crowd and leaving but it was worth the battle pain.
Remembering the old "Tiparillo Smalls" (or something like that) little cigars/cigarettes commercials. There was one with Janis Joplin in it, another wth Jimi Hendrix, and a third one with Johnny Winter in it. Some of my friends switched for awhile... I stayed with my Lark cigarettes.
amazing, were there any rehearsals that has never been seen on the great bands. That would be cool. The M.S. has amazing music. The JW stuff is amazing,
Back in the 70's 80's & the mid 80's were the best times in my life. RIP Johnny. He's been gone along time, & "I think his twin brother Edgar is gone too"? Really not for sure about Edgar? bluesrockguitar & lantaylorCanuck I Agree My Friends.....
Two drummers! A gal on stage blastic away on the cowbell (who was she--Johnny's wife?). I thought Johnny sounded best on the Gibson Firebird in the 70s.
Yes, that was Susan Johnny's wife she went on tour for a few months. Jimmy Gillan was the second drummer, he was Johnny's first drummer even before Uncle John Turner. He also played on Edgar's debut album Entrance.
This was a very short lived line up with Johnny's girlfriend/wife and Jimmy Gillan Johnny's very first drummer from the 60s. Susan didn't really enjoy touring and probably limited Johnny's touring lifestyle. Jimmy was brought back on this one tour, perhaps to support Richard Hughes who was having addiction issues at the time.
This is not true richard hughes did not have addiction problems and jimmy gillen played the still alive and well tour cause johnny felt sorry for him this info is in johnnys book raisin cain
Yeah, Johnny! And more cowbell. (That must've been his girlfriend up there, 'cause she couldn't even play the cowbell she had. Or was it a woodblock? Either way.)
JDW playing a 12 string guitar with only six strings… he said it gave him more room to move around! Legally blind and cross eyed… nothing to see here folks!
Randy Johobbs was an excelent fit to achive the best sound from the johnny Winter and Alive with Rick Derringer and Bobby Cadwell. Randy is better than joe Parish. Randy died of overdisis of drugs. Too bad.
Such 70s outfits with ripping twelve bars blues. Classic. Untouchable.
Amen…so good, so fast, so unique… wish we could go back and do it all again… but we can’t… oh well. Fun to see these performances again

Johnny is easily a top ten player of all time.

Absolutely love Johnny Winter & wish I’d caught a live show of his. Thank you Midnight Special! R.I.P. Johnny ♥️
I never have and never will again, see a more apropos autobiographical performance. Ever.

Thanks thanks thanks for this upload! What an explosive band that was! And how skilled Johnny is twirling chains at the very end.
If all people would twirl chains there would be world peace
I saw johnny winter live ! At the Toledo Ohio ;; sports arena with James gang around 1971. Real good concert. Allot of fighting in the crowd and leaving but it was worth the battle pain.
WoW! That was a fantastic performance.
Amazing !!!
Thanks!!
DAMN!!!!!
1:51, world's greatest bend
Thank you for the precious video, Johnny Winter is the best singer and guitarist for me.
Hotter than hell..jhonny is here in midst of dipps on stage he really kicked it out. Ale
The whole damn thing is amazing
Go Johnny!!
This is from Episode 23. We're not that far away from receiving the complete episode.
His wife Susan on stage he was very happy to have her on tour .
I seen this tour and always wondered why she was on stage. :-) Peace
Amaze
Killer what a player !
Go Johnny!

amazing, were there any rehearsals that has never been seen on the great bands. That would be cool. The M.S. has amazing music. The JW stuff is amazing,
Happy birthday Johnny february 23rd today 🎸 Big Daddy cool
That is one hell of a hottie in silver...Jimmy H,at the Marquee in London has the very best live version.
JW ripping it hard and fast, that Firebird looked like it had one of those baseball bat necks. Great quality vid too!
Interesting to have 2 drummers, bass, guitar and a chick that plays the cowbell! truth be told Johnny could do an entire concert all by himself.
That's drumming ,RIP mate
I saw him play in Kalamazoo a month before he died 😭
Who is this amazing drummer?
Richard hughes
So that's where I've been going wrong! I didn't have a hot girl in silver satin on cowbell.
Back in the 70's 80's & the mid 80's were the best times in my life. RIP Johnny. He's been gone along time, & "I think his twin brother Edgar is gone too"? Really not for sure about Edgar? bluesrockguitar & lantaylorCanuck I Agree My Friends.....
You know not of what you speak.
JW was so influential most folks don't know he influenced them.
Richard Hughes was one drummer. Anyone know the other? Compton?
Who's the babe? Reminds me of Suzi Quatro.
Two drummers! A gal on stage blastic away on the cowbell (who was she--Johnny's wife?). I thought Johnny sounded best on the Gibson Firebird in the 70s.
Yes, that was Susan Johnny's wife she went on tour for a few months. Jimmy Gillan was the second drummer, he was Johnny's first drummer even before Uncle John Turner. He also played on Edgar's debut album Entrance.
@@donhadfield2835 thanks, man!
I think Johnny just about eclipsed "Sly" in the funky duds department.
His wife ,Susan woford ......cute little minky
I prefer the live version with Rick Derringer playing rhythm / lead off the Live And album.
This was a very short lived line up with Johnny's girlfriend/wife and Jimmy Gillan Johnny's very first drummer from the 60s.

This is not true richard hughes did not have addiction problems and jimmy gillen played the still alive and well tour cause johnny felt sorry for him this info is in johnnys book raisin cain
Also I think you can tell in this footage that richard is playing great and doesn't need support lol
Yeah, Johnny! And more cowbell. (That must've been his girlfriend up there, 'cause she couldn't even play the cowbell she had. Or was it a woodblock? Either way.)
Elric of Melnibone version of J B G
Yes, Elric!!!
Johnny's girlfriend at the time and future wife, Susan Warford, on percussion.
What exactly is that girl bringing to the proceedings? Must have been Johnny's squeeze at the time, His Yoko Ono as it were.
His Wife as I understand it. Less annoying than Yoko.
She seems to be a decoration... albeit a nice one.
The Elaine Benes-style dancing is hilarious. Mic turned off. Gotta love rock and roll!
That was Johnny’s future wife, Susan Warford. She was with Johnny until his passing. She passed a few years ago.
@@renberg199 May she and Johnny rest in peace.
JDW playing a 12 string guitar with only six strings… he said it gave him more room to move around! Legally blind and cross eyed… nothing to see here folks!
Randy Johobbs was an excelent fit to achive the best sound from the johnny Winter and Alive with Rick Derringer and Bobby Cadwell. Randy is better than joe Parish. Randy died of overdisis of drugs. Too bad.
Johnny's stage attire is stupid, but those were the days.
But Rory was good too.
She was a bad idea to have on the stage!
Should have seen him at Woodstock Legendary ✌️🪴🌄. Texas you know.
