This song blew me away 45 years ago and continues to electrify me to this day. RIP Johnny.
Great songs never die :))
Johnny is dead?????
Bingo!!
I saw Johnnie at the Vulcan gas company in Austin Texas 1970. He played be careful with a fool. He continues to blow me away even today he’s a master he’s a genius and totally underrated rest in peace Johnnie
Same experience for me
One of the best bluesguitar players ever. RIP
Today 24th of February is Johnny birthday. Happy birthday in heavenly Johnny Winter! You're legend!
Can’t believe it. Just getting into Johnny after 57 years of listening to the blues … he is right up there with the best.
Same, what a blues force...I was tired of the blues...and then heard Johnny
And I'll add yet another comment. I have listened to this song over and over, and I've been listening to it for 57 years! And like someone else said, it gives me chills every time. I can't even listen fast enough to hear the notes that he plays? How about the tastefulness of his solo. Pure and clean!
Fuck yeah,. Saw Johnny at Denver Pop Festival 1969, then sat and drank with him at the Bottom Line in New York 1977 while James Cotton and Matt Murphy played on stage.
You lucky dog👍
Dam, you lucky man
still the best blues solo artist of all time, in my mind. Keep in mind he is playing AND singing at the same time. Untouchable....
he's playing rhythm guitar, and lead at the same time while singing, and also adding little fills ...most guitar players can do one of those.... not all three at the same time . Incredible
at 2:15 starts one of THE greatest rock guitar solos in history!!
You said it, brother. You said it!
One of the greatest guitar SOLOs ever,RIP Johnny
He and JIMI made me BECOME THE GUITARIST I AM TODAY,THEN SRV. LOVE THEM SO MUCH
Dennis G.
In college 50 years ago, I was listening to this stoned. That solo put me thru the floor.
HEY DENNIS, MAN YOU ARE SO RIGHT ,WHAT A SOLO,WAS,NT JOHNNY ONE OF THE GREATEST EVER,I LOVED HIS PLAYING ,SINGING,RIP J,W. 😎BOB.
indeed !
Johnny Winter was and always. will be one of the greatest ever. Fast and Clean Amazing guitarist..
Tommy’s bass on this is immaculate. Playing chords before it was hip.
Came here to find a comment on this. Dude, it's killer
What is amazing about this solo is it is absolutely clean. It is not even high volume,just straight tone!
Oh trust me it's high volume right now my boy
@@jakecarrington9190 yessir
Jake Carrington Goddamn right!!!
The. Texas blues tornado!!!!
@@jakecarrington9190 Agreed. That amp is cranked
Everybody talk about Hendrix, Clapton and Jimmy Page but man...This is awesome too !! Undurrated amazing guitar player!
None of them compare to JW in my honest opinion. Page not even in class with others.
Best blues singer of them all. RIP Johnny Winter.
He is the best, not Hendrix
One of the best for sure
Jimmy Page is 100% studio. 100 takes. If you listen to him live it’s almost always awful. He is incapable of improvisation. He is the most overrated guitar player in rock history. He wrote some good riffs (the few he didn’t steal), but yeah, he is not great.
Anazing. The whole album is perfect.
I agree but most of his albums are perfect one of the greatest bluesmen
Can you feel it? The magic will move you. That magic is Johnny Winter
I am 67 years old and he was on the first bill that I saw at The Filmore East, billed as Winter. He blew me away. An incredible bluesman. I am still taken aback when he starts soloing on this song. RIP
i seen him in 76 and 4 times after
You’re still a kid 👶 I’m 77 & bought this album in 69, I still play be careful with a fool ✌️
Yea I was probably in the seat next to you,
Saw him at Fillmore with Rick Derringer . Ain’t been the same since !!
I still remember buying this album in vinyl as a teenager when it came out on Columbia records. Also, The Progressive Blues Experiment on Imperial records. Great music. Joe I am in my 60s now. Still alive and well
Mr. John Dawson Winter ||| 🎸🎤⚡🔥💪👊😎🤘
Fantastic Musician Criminally Underrated ⚡🔥😎
I remember when I first heard this in my teens and it blew my mind, I had to go take a walk and reflect on what I just heard. Today it still has a powerful effect.
I'm always so blown away by the guitar, that I often don't realize how killer that bass track is
Oh yeah! Tommy Shannon was one of the best!
It was the first concert I ever went to. I almost levitated when he played this.
That’s the BLUES MAN!
Been listening to this song my entire life and it still give me goosebumps everytime..
Always. Just captured Johnny. We saw him live so many times. Winter always delivered in so many different ways.
My sentiments exactly, Jay.
I saw Johnny play at the Vulcan gas Company in Austin Texas in the year of 1970. He played be careful with a fool. It blew me out the door!!. He was in a zone few have ever been. How sadly underrated he was. Rest in peace Johnnie!
Johnny is still one of my top 5 greatest blues guitarists of all time, he's in great company,
Johnny Winter was a guitar prodigy, so smooth and good blue's!❤️☯️
The best Guitar solo i ever heard in my Life - since i was Ten years ins - Greetings from germany
Saw Johnny Live at least a dozen times back in the 70s .. Never failed to play His ass off .. Love Tommy Shannons Bass lines too and they continued to be incredible through SRV !!
Saw him 5 times in 5 different decades, always enjoy his music. Excellent album!!
I saw him in 1970 at a small venue in S.F. Event was billed as 3 Kings and a Winter. Things are hazy from then but I think the club was The Matrix and it was Albert, Freddy, and B.B King. All of them played far too loud for a small place, had to stuff my ears with paper. Johnny played last, they walked him out cause he was probably doing smack but once they hung his guitar around his neck he perked right up and played great. Sadly my only time seeing him.
Incredible blues guitarist!!!
Blackest white dude to ever play the blues ,,,,, legend
@James Cox No doubt !! IMHO the only two white guys that could properly play AND sing the blues were Johnny and Rory Gallagher RIP it up in the next dimension Boys !!!
Might even qualify as the whitest white dude to play the blues too.
🤣💪🎶❣️👉🏽
But he wasn't a white dude - much lower on scale, he was an albino. played like he used to be picked on, wailin' , cuz he was!
@@danmylecraine3796 there is black based albinos and white based albinos, hes white buddy, not that it matters
His was my mine and my best friend’s first ever concert in 1974. Almost 50 years and countless concerts we’ve still best friends. Music: the ties that bind. Thank you, Johnny! Incredible talent!
The blues come im my soul...
Love from Switzerland
mate!...johnny that was insane!
I got this record when I was 13 and it blew my mind then and it is blowing my mind again right now, almost 50 years later. I've been playing guitar that whole time and have listened far and wide and there is still no one who plays like this!!
Same here! I am 70 now, but still loving this song.
Crapsuckerdud, it seems a lot of things blow your mind, 😂
Thank You to all the fantastic musicians from the 1950's to the 1980's for recording great music for us to hear today so we don't have to listen to a lot of the awful music of today.
Been a fan since 69’. Saw him in 70’ at a small club downtown. We’re we’re standing at the small stage when Johnny and his band walked through the bar to the stage. Rick Derringer was playing with the band too. It was awesome. 10 feet away from him. Had to see 5 more times after that. Once with Muddy Waters.
Johnny Winter was Muddy Waters favorite blues player. All the supposed greats pale in comparison to this maestro.
@@plantfeeder6677
I know that’s right. Seen Johnny 6 times. Once with Muddy.
You just can't play any better than this! Finally got a Grammy after he "moved on." He was the first white person inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame in 1988. Much better caliber of inductees than what's in Cleveland. Rest in Peace Johnny, your music and contributions will live on. The records you produced with Muddy Waters such as Hard Again are as good as any in the genre. Thanks for all of your wonderful work. Much respect! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blues_Hall_of_Fame
Awards are for the lowest common denominator. They are pointless.
he cut lp's with muddy waters and sonny terry he had at least 3 grammy's with muddy waters
@@larryduvall9475 Yes, 3 albums that he produced for Muddy won Grammys. He won 1 for himself posthumously. Not that he needed an award to validate his guitar prowess. Take care.
The bass is truly mesmerizing.
I think that is Tommy Shannon of Double Trouble fame.
Tommy Shannon who played with SRV
A 6 ft albino from Texas walked on the scene and started electric fluid guitar. The blues will never be the same........
Greatest albino guitar player from Texas ever!!
I collect and love vinyl records, any time I find Johnny on vinyl, I buy it. This tune is from his first album 1969...JOHNNY WINTER...
I saw Johnny Winter with this band ( Tommy Shannon-Bass, Uncle John-Drums ) at the Laurel Pop Festival in Laurel,Md. in July 11th. 1969. I was at the record store the next day buying this album.
Mister Guitar Slinger Killin me some Blues!!!
The Growls awesome..RIP MR. WINTER THE VOICE LINGERED ON
Johnny Winters was the first rock and roller to get a $600,000 advance on his first album so he's definitely not overlooked one of my favorites one of the best!
Never gets old! Wow
Saw Johnny with Rick Derringer on loan from Edgar at SUNY Albany in early 70s. I was standing near the stage watching his fingers fly. A true great. RIP
He once came where I live and I didn't get to see him, this regret will haunt me for the rest of my existence, damn.
Same thing happen to me, and btw it was the last show he did of his life and he was dead the day just after the show. However he was not playing like he did at his prime, but I'll regret all my fking life too
Through God, you will see him.
WHAT A LEGEND, J. W. AMAZING,GUITARIST,BLUESMAN,ROCKER, ALL AROUND MUSICIAN,RIP JOHNNY,1- OF THE BEST EVER.😎BOB.
Fastest and one of the most talented guitar slingers ever ever ever. Saw him 15 times in New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Texas if I saw him once.Always left with my jaw on the floor
got original vinyl valid today as ever
One of my most cherished LP's
FAST AND CLEAR JOHNNY WINTER AND HIS TRADE MARK... I HAD THIS 33 RECORD IN HIGH SCHOOL ... STILL UP TO DATE TILL THIS 2020.. RIP MR WINTER.
Mr. John Dawson Winter 3 Rest In Peace 🎤🎸😭🙏
makes me sad that this awesome man is gone RIP
chris pucino Saw him in a town called Groningen just a couple of months before he died. Worst concert ever, but I did not care......there he was, my all time Johnny Winter in that cold Dutch town.
yeah, he was real bad there at the end. i guess he couldn't see it. the band should have told him.
sküll düggery he was pretty much forced to comeback by Paul. I couldn't bear to see him like this... I saw him throughout his better years starting in the late 60's... the guy really went through a lot... should never have comeback.
i saw him a couple of timse in the early 80's in small clubs. he was tight and loud.
Like, if you’re listening to this on a friday afternoon at work where you have nothing to do, just to sit smiling behind your desk because of this glorius music , and want to go home to plug-in your favorite guitar and play some blues...
One of the few Rock and Roll acts I regret that I have never seen . My bad. And I have seen Frank Zappa Pink Floyd and Albert Collins. Johnny Winters. I wish he was still alive and well.
No s.
bb king wrote this and performed it about 1955 great cover by johnny , i sho nuff got the blues this morning peoples
Underated? He's the King
There is a word thrown around a lot today; mostly IMHO used too frequently ; ICONIC!!! This man alongside his brother Edgar are truly epitomize the term!
All I can say is Wow!
hard blues "number one " Johnny forever in my mind !!
Blues and Rock Legend!
This is the goat !
I agree 💯
Yes, in 1969 my cousin Neill said, you have to listen to this. I did the rhythm, and he cranked away a fine lead.... Me thinks we always aspired and linked into this deep driving ray.... We oft said this was the greatest lead guitar riff we'd ever hear..... and to this day.... still drives me onward!!! wow.....
Got to see Johnny at Wadena Rock Concert in a field in Iowa in the summer of 1970.... missed him when he came by my hometown at the Filmore East.... but felt his full force out in Iowa. He and band seemed so wacked out behind the stage, I felt I could blow on him and he'd fall over. Didn't expect much, nor that he'd even make it to the stage, but when on stage and picked up that guitar, I felt the force rip through me and blow me across the field.... shockingly powerful.
A year or so before he passed on, eagerly went to catch him at BB Kings. Unfortunately the sound folks had all the amps full out blasting and my ears despite putting tissue in them, were aching the entire show.... Johnny didn't pause whilst up there..... full out. Bless you, and thank you... this song carries to my next life.... "I believe that we're near the end. I want to tell my baby, please forgive me for my sin."
this song is goona be in beatstar season 24 tour pass and its extreme
Oh, it's awful...
First album I ever purchased with my own $$ back in '69. Still listen to it often. This is my all-time favorite JW track. Vocal, guitar, bass, drums live in the studio, bum notes and all. No overdubs. Mind-blowing..
He's the best I've seen outta texas
Johnny winter is the best blues player no one will ever touch him he sure brought blues to a whole new level RIP Johnny your music will live on forever thanks for all that u have done for the blues...Johnny was the only white man the black folks allowed to play in there bars he sure was amazing
The greatest guitar solo of all time.
Happy to see all of your comments! This guy lives in my heart, too. This track is plain ridiculously soooo true to the blues, it hurts.
Best Blues guitar solo on earth!
A great warm glass of brown and this that golden Sunday I’m getting right for!
rip to the legend J.Winter!!!!
What's driving people's reaction, IMO, is pure soul. Johnny Winter was truly one of the great blues/rock guitarists but he didn't play any "outside" or jazzy stuff, he stayed within the idiom. He didn't play any licks other guitarists hadn't played. It was the way it all flowed through him plus the tone, so pure & with no effects on the guitar that I could hear. This is honest, workingman's music, nothing fancy but so amazingly good & so deeply satisfying.
God Bless you Johnny.
What? did Johnny die??
I had the fortunate experience to have seen him LIVE at the GLOBE in Cardiff. He blew the house down.
Yes, I'm loving this!
holy shit this jumps
A great blues song by a great player. I hear this song in my head even when I'm not actually listening to it.Rest in peace Johnny.
....this is the ultimate electric guitar blues...
wow wow wow, first time hearing this. new fan in 2021.
Best blues song ever.
One of the most heart wringing, soul scorching blues tunes ever. It connects your belly button directly to the obdula oblongada, grips and rips like Predator on safari.
My sac is aflame
Beyond Hendrix, Albert King, Texas has such a unique Blues swag to it.Buddy guy used to laugh @ Texas blues, & the he heard Johnny & SRV.Absolute DemiGod Mr. Johnny Winter 💙 I salute you.
It is rarely mentioned how great of a rhythm player Johnny was.
It's called BLUESIC yeah you heard it here first love forever my dear jonathan d winter iii
I lived in north NJ and I think it was DJ Dave Herman who played this on WNEW-FM when it was released and I probably ran out and bought it the next day, I was 16 yrs old. Never did get to see him until 2013 when we were fortunate to see him perform at The Pour House in New Hope, Pa. He was in pretty bad shape and had to be helped onto his stool but when he plugged in he and the group literally blew us away. Be Careful With a Fool and his Woodstock performance of Mean Town Blues are the most played on my list these days.
His time is flawless. And what a soulfull and raunchy voice.
Johnny Winters was a guitar prodigy. One original bluesman that will live on in infamy.
Bad ass fret work
This is the greatest blues song ever made!!!!
Johnny didn't compose this song, but he made it his
No man, too faaaar
Somebody did the top 20 guitar players of all time, never mention Johnny, or Duane Allman,, really,, both belong in the top five
hey!
Amazing and perfect! Damn men!
such articulate picking, straight smokes
And dont get me started on Second Winter! Highway 61 - got to be the greatest piece of slide EVER!
This is my favorite song of his. Most of it is done with the pick hand included. He wore a thumb pick. Insane talent who is missed. RIP Johnny
💈Now if your listing to this same song I am, and I was fortunate enough to see him play this live with Randy Jo Hobbs- Bass, and Bobby Caldwell , drums. - and you do not think this gent was one hell of a guitar player- than I guess you don’t know what it takes to play those leads, and use the slide so beautiful. To Good-
I have to say that this is my favorite heartfelt blues composition and greatest electric guitar playing with that soul-blues beautiful voice of Johnny Winters that we all can now say to those ones who put these outstanding songs & videos on the RUclips music videos, so much thanks and appreciation from one who will keep on tuning in, yea keep us rockin in the free world, and God Bless you, brothers and sisters.
Heaven Hi, I just keep writing to as many as I can when I am getting to have my Y-FY on, and it's not all that often, so it is when a brother or sister might say that the one most important things for every sister and brother to really realize is that our Heavenly Father has truly brought to us here in this country and at this time for all to take all you possibly can to pray to stay doing the True Healing act of Love for All Gods' male and female creatures to simply try and share to all that they are not to be bought or eating, and the more we can educate our Good Shepherds Honest to Goodness Truth to eventually bring more to see a definite evolution and a Real Healing from our Holy Fathers Merciful Forgiveness and His True Blessed Peaceful Solution for all brothers and sisters and to also come to understand that we were born into an evil corrupt system, so we need to also bring up something our hearts need to feel, and it's about the True data & stats of how many newborn deformities and diseases that never get brought to every brother and sisters full attention, and it seems like so much of what one who is now sincerely seeking and truly wanting our Holy Fathers Revelation can type their questions and be able to find out how so much of our histories of mankind's' stubborn egotist sickness and unjust brainwashing ways just seem to not have any better solution to be closer to the True Wisdom of what Blessing our Merciful and Forgiving Holy Father has for all those who have come to taken to doing an honest to our Divine Creator Gods Commandments. So we must also believe we have the Greatest of our Holy Fathers Gift of the Holy Spirit to go forth and freely to share all that what Christ Jesus ministered for all brothers and sisters of The Way, The Truth and Life, knowing He would be with us always, and we continue giving all Praise for His Glorious Gifts of The Spirit Amen.
Classic Johnny Thanks
Saw him a dozen times miss him
