I never had the opportunity or pleasure to meet Johnny, and I actually think about that often. He's one of the people who sparked my desire to play guitar as a boy. I did have the great pleasure of meeting Rick Derringer quote a few years ago when he played a surprise show in the football field of my old highschool. What an amazing show, and am awesome time just talking with him for a bit. I still have the cup he signed for me and keep it in a glass cabinet. 2 of my most important guitar heroes
Saw Johnny and his brother play in Kansas City KS in the autumn of 1969, (not long after Woodstock). He and Edgar spent about 15 minutes backstage listening to my questions and such modest and friendly guys. Johnny had a little mishap that night and lost his footing, hit his head near the edge of the stage during a song. He had a heck of a bruise on his noggin, but he was red hot. Edgar's band opened and Edgar sat in on a couple of numbers with Johnny's band that night as well. I was just a kid then and they were such good guys. Great memory.
Just hearing Johnny speak is such a pleasure... He was always such a complete & gracious gentleman void of pretense or assumptions. Seemed like the kind of man that would pull over and help with your car if you broke down in the middle of the desert.
I don't know who's posting these videos of Johnny Winter but I sure am glad I'm getting them, I'm glad somebody has the sense enough to know just who Mr. Johnny Winter was and is now in my opinion one of the greatest blues legends to ever sing and play the blues, and that's a hell of a list of great players my friend, Johnny to me was at least in the top 5 in the history of the blues, I grew up listening to Johnny Winter, and his guitar picking and slide playing and most of all his singing was like no other, you do the math.
Saw him many times. I will always put him up as one of the top few guitarists in the rock/blues world It is inexcusable that he is not in the rock and roll hall of fame. It is sad to see him so weak but still catering to his fans. I will never forget hearing Johnny Winter and... live around 1971. Turned my music world upside down
I still have Johnny Winter, Progressive Blues Experiment album which I bought when it came out and Second Winter, classic blues albums. One of America’s greatest guitarists.
Missed seeing BB,Albert,Roy Buchanan,but got to see Johnny at a small bar,got very close,he played his Lazar,but when he put the Firebird on everyone went nuts,sure had a style that was very fluent,and flawless,and you could see that he and Jimi would compliment each others blues playing styles,fond memories
I was fortunate enough to see Johnny Winter three times (twice in the '70s, once in the '80s). Man could he play. The early shows were the rowdiest I've been too. Fights, bottles being thrown (not at Johnny). Good times. He definitely earned his place among the best guitarists of all time.
Love Johnny. Only got to see him live once. It was at a bar called Liberty Lunch in Austin in the 80s. It was a blast. And loud as hell. My ears rang for hours. One if my guitar heros. God l hate getting old.
Almost like seeing the last of the Mohecans, Johnny Winter was a legendary player, and certainly a man to aspire to, he was certainly a one of, sadly missed, rest in peace Johnny winter.
I saw him at Liberty Lunch in Austin about 95. Was ring side!! It was amazing ! It's sad to see your heros grow old and frail. RIP Johnny. You were 1 of the greatest!!
Not only a blues Legend but he also was the slide King, I never met him but in every video clip like this one where I have watched his behavior he always seemed to be a very humble man♡He passed away about 2 years after this concert I believe♡
Loved his dedication to getting to 'the other side' of all of his troubles...Pure blues!...Some of those troubles basically caught up with him, anyways, but it was a lot later than it would have been because of his fight.
On the sound check notice there's a guy called Tommy Emmanuel who's following Johnny. Check him out; Tommy is the ultimate one man band. I'm a Johnny Winter fan from years back, Tommy has a different sound, he's just as phenomenal. As Johnny used to say "check this out..."
I was fortunate enough to catch him twice. I felt like I was watching a ghost, because he was all spirit and just totally transparent. Thank you Johnny! RIP
Nice to see the French loved him so much, and he was so gracious....but kinda sad, too, past his prime and still trying to pump it out...tough life, right to the end. 😔
I was in that bus and he signed a book for me called Total Guitar after he played in Courtenay at the Sid Williams theatre on Vancouver Island. He was amazing to see play ,i saw him in Vancouver too at the Comador ballroom..
He really had a hold to the blues . Big influence on me . I’m lucky to have seen him back in 1989 . The man was I. Fire and gave it his best till the end . He left earth in his sleep . He will be missed .
My guitar mechanic worked on JW's guitar at a show at beachland ballroom in Cleveland Ohio, he was overjoyed at when he got the call from my other buddy mike miller who is the house sound man for the venue
I'm so glad I didn't ask for his autograph. He asked if I wanted one, I said I didn't bring anything to sign and I'm not sure if it was Paul who said how about your shirt I said thanks took it off and JW signed it on the back up below the collar.
When Johnny died he was worth 10 million dollars... He did this cuz he loved his fans and he knows we needed to hear him.. he didn't need money he never needed money he's been Rich since he was 25 years old
Johnny did seem to enjoy signing my 1931 National...after playing it. A memorable moment and the guitar brings it back...maybe that's the thing about the signatures...keeps the memory... but yeah why does someone need more than one?
A nice fellow and gentleman. Saw him to Times in private. Nice discussion. But in fact is a sage. i spoke lot , him a few but he hear a lot and spoke a few but just right
I Thanks megaforce records for this pleasant gift to add me on the bonus from "Down and dirty dvd" . I had just a picture but now saw him moving and speaking with him it Will stay forever. in my heart and my mind he Still but add me in this dvd is saw us moving and speaking together then more that this picture . In my wallet is always Still in this pic
Johnny signed for record albums and I bought a poster he side for $80. They are all framed and hanging on my walls, I saw him in a group Johnny Winter a n d in Dallas in 1970 December 18th with Rick Derringer and drummer Bobby Caldwell they open with a song I guess I'll go away
I don’t quite understand why he chose the headless guitar over a fender or Gibson. I had 2 Steinbergers and I hated them Kept breaking a string with the lock tuning. Maybe he endorsed them
I seen the man in 5 venues and the dude rocked the joint. Toads place New Haven CT / Palace Theater/Bad ass flying arm cuffs. Amazing show to say the least. Bing
It’s like he has had to suffer an onslaught of fools for the last 30 years asking him silly questions or as this guy trying to give Johny an album that Johny knows well since he made it and has plenty of them. He is just there to play. Not to look at the countryside. Even at the end it was just forty minutes of his fingers being a blur.
I would like to know why or how these fans got to meet johnny since I been a kid I wouldn't to meet him so bad but me and my dad who are huge fans my dad seen him 25 times where robbed of meeting him wtf
Meet his doulganer @ foghat & b.o.c. show. Left him alone for the most part asked can I sit here Knees r killing me. Lrg. Amount stairs. Told him I had 2 come support blues & rocking roll in walworth country. Later I asked if he knows Mary shellies frankinstin.& was kicked out of a house 4 listen 2 it. Beautiful smile nod & shook his heed!
The irritations of stardom. Some take advantage. Getting old is a sad thing. Everything is taken away. I'm 66. But, Johnny played till he couldn't play anymore. That's what we all should do, too. Because if you don't die soon you will die later. And later happens quicker than you think. ruclips.net/video/eyOpXoCEtGQ/видео.html One of his best songs.
Johnny Winter will always be my favourite blues, rock guitarist.
I never had the opportunity or pleasure to meet Johnny, and I actually think about that often.
He's one of the people who sparked my desire to play guitar as a boy.
I did have the great pleasure of meeting Rick Derringer quote a few years ago when he played a surprise show in the football field of my old highschool.

He most definitely love Blues and Rock.
He put his life, ❤️and soul in to it. I miss him so much ❤️.
Just hearing Johnny speak is such a pleasure... He was always such a complete & gracious gentleman void of pretense or assumptions. Seemed like the kind of man that would pull over and help with your car if you broke down in the middle of the desert.
I met him in Atlanta airport, July 1970. Talked a few minutes, nice man, just a fellow hippie.
Legend has it that Johnny is still signing records for the guy
You got that right! Ebay is full of forged Johnny Winter signatures !
Europe, especially France, loved him and has great respect for Blues. ☮️💟
Great video, Johnny was such a generous soul.

Sweet dreams
Rock and Roll hall of Fame doesn't deserve to have the mighty Johnny Winter. I love Johnny. 1970 Live album was a life changer for me.
It is unbelievable that he’s not in the hall of fame. Just goes to show you what a joke the hof is.
hall of shame ,We Can't Get Good From Evil ",so we can choose to do the best we can
Old Chris a fiddler of Albuquerque NM PLAY WINTER SONGS.
HE WAS THE BEST!! ROCK-N-ROLL🎸🎷🎹 Johnny and Edgar!!!!!
I still have Johnny Winter, Progressive Blues Experiment album which I bought when it came out and Second Winter, classic blues albums. One of America’s greatest guitarists.
Those two are his best, well I think anyway
Johnny's Laugh cracks me up... Everybody Loves Johnny Winter...Wish he was Still Around...
Eternity Love for this Legend....It's just.....can't believe this man....he's too much. His voice, guitar, his look and rock style....Hendrix and him
Hit the nail on the head.... ;-)
Missed seeing BB,Albert,Roy Buchanan,but got to see Johnny at a small bar,got very close,he played his Lazar,but when he put the Firebird on everyone went nuts,sure had a style that was very fluent,and flawless,and you could see that he and Jimi would compliment each others blues playing styles,fond memories

Rickshrager, man my thoughts exactly! A Johnny Winter concert brought out the most loyal and rowdyest mother-fer's I've ever seen!
Would you mind signing my baguette? Lol
He was a great old lad .
He had a great voice right to the end. even though he had breathing problems
@Flaming Pie , It was the Weed every day more likely
@@larken558 nope, he smoked regular cigarettes for a long time and also had emphysema. That’s how he died his manager said
Love Johnny. Only got to see him live once. It was at a bar called Liberty Lunch in Austin in the 80s. It was a blast. And loud as hell. My ears rang for hours. One if my guitar heros. God l hate getting old.

hes cute when he laughs. he put up with so many interviews of thee same questions over and over
I saw him at Liberty Lunch in Austin about 95. Was ring side!! It was amazing ! It's sad to see your heros grow old and frail. RIP Johnny. You were 1 of the greatest!!
MY FAVORITE ALL TIMES BLUESMAN!
Not only a blues Legend but he also was the slide King, I never met him but in every video clip like this one where I have watched his behavior he always seemed to be a very humble man♡He passed away about 2 years after this concert I believe♡
A guitar legend
Johnny Winter RIP we miss you
Mr Johnny W you will always be one of the badesst coolest bluesmen of all time one of a kind Brother r.i.p.
Love you Johnny. R.I.P.
Johnny is my guitar hero....since 1968....
Me too. The first time I heard him in was '68. I was hooked for life!!! Anytime anyone asks me who my fav guitarist is...the answer is JW
Me too from 1969.
Love this DVD! The makers deserve awards for letting us into his beautiful world, some great comical moments also 'what time is it now!' haha
Loved his dedication to getting to 'the other side' of all of his troubles...Pure blues!...Some of those troubles basically caught up with him, anyways, but it was a lot later than it would have been because of his fight.

Can't help but love this man x
Top top top guitar player. Blues guitar player to perfection.
Nice to see the French loved him so much, and he was so gracious....but kinda sad, too, past his prime and still trying to pump it out...tough life, right to the end. 😔
I saw Johnny Winter at the Olympia in Paris in the early 1970's...Great show.
What a good man!!!
Pure Class! A legend
I was in that bus and he signed a book for me called Total Guitar after he played in Courtenay at the Sid Williams theatre on Vancouver Island. He was amazing to see play ,i saw him in Vancouver too at the Comador ballroom..
What a nice man
Rest in God’s forever peace Mr.Winter.
He really had a hold to the blues . Big influence on me . I’m lucky to have seen him back in 1989 . The man was I. Fire and gave it his best till the end . He left earth in his sleep . He will be missed .
Johnny's laugh!!

Sad such a legend has to work and travel third class to the end. He sure made a few managers filthy rich in the 70s
@james crowe Teddy Slatus
When Johnny died he was worth 10 million dollars... He did this cuz he loved his fans and he knows we needed to hear him.. he didn't need money he never needed money he's been Rich since he was 25 years old
It's not sad at all he was worth 10 million dollars when he died you don't know what you're talkin about
A truly raw musician...
I had the privilege of seeing Johnny in 1977 in Hollywood Fla. I had to pay a whooping $5 worth every penny
About 20 years ago, Johnny Winter signed my friend's birthday card in Regina, Canada.
Johnny did seem to enjoy signing my 1931 National...after playing it.
A memorable moment and the guitar brings it back...maybe that's the thing about the signatures...keeps the memory... but yeah why does someone need more than one?
Dave Fowler selling it, you can saw it at the fat guys attitude didnt give a shit about him only for cash afterwards
A nice fellow and gentleman.
Saw him to Times in private.
Nice discussion.
But in fact is a sage.
i spoke lot , him a few but he hear a lot and spoke a few but just right
I Thanks megaforce records for this pleasant gift to add me on the bonus from "Down and dirty dvd" . I had just a picture but now saw him moving and speaking with him it Will stay forever.
in my heart and my mind he Still but add me in this dvd is saw us moving and speaking together then more that this picture . In my wallet is always Still in this pic
What a generous and great guy....would love to have ONE thing signed......RIP Johnny...
Second Winter is the bomb/ its a solid listen/ My opinion is Bing
Johnny signed for record albums and I bought a poster he side for $80. They are all framed and hanging on my walls, I saw him in a group Johnny Winter a n d in Dallas in 1970 December 18th with Rick Derringer and drummer Bobby Caldwell they open with a song I guess I'll go away
Russell Crawford so cool man
Very gracious about signing things….❤️
love that Beaumont accent
from 1,16-f@ing awesome rehearsal of Crossroads
RIP Johnny
love you man
Well I have more than one but on two different occasions! a ticket stub from the late 70s that I got in 2008 and my MXR Phase 90 a year later!
I LOVE all the old folks standing in like; just like they were kids again! Johnny did that! Irie man! Your missed!
I bet that signed Winter baguette is hard as a block of ice by now! R.I.P. Johnny!
Johnny signed so many autographs he couldn’t play that night
I don’t quite understand why he chose the headless guitar over a fender or Gibson. I had 2
Steinbergers and I hated them
Kept breaking a string with the lock tuning. Maybe he endorsed them
fantastic
I feel Johnny was just too kind.
Johnny Winter AND Robben Ford? Christ
J'adore le mec à 7:20 qui dit à Johnny Winter : "you are really a good guitarist" 🤣😂 ! C'est pas juste un "good guitarist" c'est un dieu vivant !
He should have at least paid Johnny 100 Euros to sign a bread roll because that was weird
Maître Winter!
LOL it's like the moment that guy walked off the bus Johnny Winter was like what the fuck lol
More talent between those two brothers than a 30 piece orchestra
Pure heart.
Seen Johnny Winters hammerjacks Baltimore Maryland
4:40: I hate shit fucking business scambags...
Obnoxious
There should be a blues hall of fame
I seen the man in 5 venues and the dude rocked the joint. Toads place New Haven CT / Palace Theater/Bad ass flying arm cuffs. Amazing show to say the least. Bing
hhh i love the bro allso

Poor Johnny couldn’t hardly see to sign.

hard to believe johnny actually developed some body fat there at the end.
Poor dear; inevitable aging stinks.
😈 !!!!!!!!...........
Shame. Looks like he's pretty overwhelmed here
