Introduced to Mike Bloomfield and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band East/West album waaaaayyyyy back when by my pal "Fitzie". Mike was a king and a leader. Back in '65 he was a light! His work with Butter, Dylan (!!!!!), the Electric Flag and Al Kooper left us such a legacy. If you dig this style of blues check out our site on youtube as well--johnnyguitar335
way too bad that these two guys don't get their dues. Bloomfield died in 1981!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SSShow some respect to this man; the same as Peter Green who were guys wayy ahead of their time.
Didn't see this one but I was there for the last appearance of the Electric Flag at Fillmore East when 1/2 way thru Mike took a break and Hendrix took over for an extended jam about going to Mexico!
@whocares1694 I was there too...and Mike explained that he had to fly out...and told us that a friend was coming out to jam tonight and fill in for him the next night...which I went to also...and Jimi jammed and the next night tore it up with the Flag....
bluesatbirth I agree with with that. Johnny, who i have emulated on guitar, does not feel it enough me with all the fast notes. When i play or listen to Bloomfield, I feel the blues or jazz. I'm 24 and have had this CD for 4 years. Johnny is unique and talented where Bloomfield can do it all.
Dondiva--I agree to a point--Mike--who I knew personally was more tasteful--Johnny for me just plays too many " shredder " notes--for my taste--no dynamics-- that just clutters and loses the bottom line of what BLUES should be---EMOTION !
What on Earth are you talking about DUMBDIVA.....THESE 2 ARE MASTERS OF THEIR CRAFT !!!!! PLEASE REFRAIN FROM COMMENTS IF YOU KNOW NOT WHAT YOU SAY !!!!!!!
I got high with Johnny winter and Wolfman Jack at an Edgar Winter Concert at The Hollywood Bowl back in the 70's...I was running a spotlight backstage...Got so High I missed my que to turn on the light...What a Great Evening.
Just something about Mick Taylor---believed he played lead for the Stones @ Altamont in 69 and til this day those chilling licks in the dark will never be forgotten or should be!
Bloomers had very distinctive phrasing when he played. Easy to pick out but impossible to emulate. No one plays like him... he was a truly gifted, one of a kind blues guitar player.
@lanes58 he went to my high school, New Trier East in Winnetka, Il and grew up in Glencoe, unfortunately he was 10 years older than me and met Paul Butterfield instead of myself, who am also a harp player. God I wish i had been born in 43 instead of 53!!!
Could've seen Johnnie a couple yrs ago out west but the tickets were $300-400 which seemed a little high then. Now I wish I'd gone. I've got the "Shoulda seen JW blues."
Someone mentioned Mick Taylor amongst the comments, and he had great fluidity as Mike does, but all blues fans should listen to Rory Gallagher, especially the Irish Tour 1974 album, His version of ' I Wonder Who' ,Muddy Water's composition, is so to the point, and his bottleneck on 'Crest Of a Wave' is soaringly intensive.
Thanks to youtube and the internet we can all share our knowledge and preferences, why don't we each compile our own list of essential blues tracks and post them here?
omfg im just discovering these two guitarists, i was looking at some Bluesbreakers videos and this was on the related section. two fantastic guitarists that im gonna have to look up now
@timparcival This is indeed that concert. Bloomfield and Kooper were putting on a Super Session weekend at Fillmore East; Bloomfield invited Winter to play a number, and there just so happened to be a bunch of Columbia brass at the show. It got Winter a then-record six-figure advance . . .
Live I saw Hendrix, Page, Beck, Peter Green, Clapto, Winter, but as far as playing from the heart with intensity Bloomfield just seemed to have something that ran very deep emotionally with the Blues and Blues Rock Music.All the other greats put on amazing shows but Bloomfield seemed to be in a different zone and was able to capture that in his guitar playing.
@stratoreverb Bloomfield was something special....Something about growing up in Chicago (The Home Of The Blues).He had some great teachers,but you can't teach feeling!!
@stratoreverb Green played from the Heart as well. Two different hearts but both with emotion. I cant compare Green and Bloomfield. All the rest that you listed indeed sound good. Green and Bloomfield didnt play what everyone wanted them to play , they played only what they were feeling. Thats the difference. When you like a musician , its because of the way they make "you" feel. Thats why we have so many different opinions. Drugs took over as always.
Great one here. lol about the FLAG t-shirt! I loved that band!" BUDDY MILES "BLOOMFIELD" I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THAT ELECTRIC FLAG T-SHIRT OH WOW YOU HAVE THE SUPER SESSION UP HERE THXS
Mike brings that les paul to life like nobody else. he should of been as well know as the three guitar great page, clapton, and beck. this playing is absolutely amazing.
@logen99999 You think beck over hendrix? I disagree with that, but it's your opinion. I just always have thought hendrix, page, and clapton were the three.
@fpcrunner Right, I used to love Beck, and live he is like Clapton in Cream. I've seen some mediocre Hendrix, but when Hendrix did the Philharmonic Hall there was no doubt who was the king of the ax. Beck is a mathematician and showman, working band type, but Hendrix was an houdini of the guitar. Beck and Clapton from Jeff Beck Group and Clapton from Cream. Page from Yardbirds, Hendrix from Hendrix....Voodoo Child...waka wak wak wak waak a wak wak. with his feet, guitar on floor, lead in his h
two of the great over players... and not alone in this.... guitar players are not usually economical... j.j cale being an exception... but when they were hot.... rock context.... superb stuff---and very technical , notice when they get to some horn lines, how complementary it becomes.... bloomingfield had an intensity augmented by vibrato that could be stunning....his playing that of someone who may not be here all that long.... how winters lasted... did he? lord only knows
Don't misunderstand me. Johnny is my guitarheroe and Mike is also a great guitarplayer. Johnny winter is the one who made me to play the guitar when I was 18 years old. Once I had a band in wich I played a lot of Johnny winter stuf.
A few years ago I had a chat with Johnny in his camper at the Tegelen blues/rockfestival in the Netherlands. I have pics on facebook of this meeting.
In their high times they where the best in their styles, but don't let them play the flamingo music for instance.
Al Kooper put some fine stuff together. I wish the world would give Mike Bloomfield his due. My step son is a very good guitar player, but I don't think he know Bloomfield, that will change.
Saw Winter play in '74. You never know what's a studio album audio trick and what's legit until you hear them live. Brownsville Station opened and got a nice reception with their Top 40 radio style.
Then Winter came out... and melted the paint off the walls.
@themredweirdoshow Johnny was my first concert ever. Played in New Haven. My ears rang for 6 months (perforated eardrum) after sitting 4th row in front of what had to be 40 speakers...
@themredweirdoshow Johnny was my first concert ever. Played in New Haven. My ears rang for 6 months (perforated eardrum) after sitting 4th row in front of what had to be 40 speakers...Was in '74 as well.
@HoraceLime I removed my comment as I didn't articulate my sentiments very well. JW and MB seldom get their due AND THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS ARE OFTEN OVERSHADOWED BY IMITATORS. Better?
@MrBertiep Please accept my apologies for over-reacting. Certainly no one wants to be guilty of starting a fist fight at a peace rally! :) Thank you for your thoughtful, and show of real class response. I tip my hat to thee, good sir! :)
@MrBertiep Yes they do. It's just that many people assuage their egos (because they think they're the only ones who recognize their talent and are therefore "special") about their favorite players by saying they are "underrated" or that they "don't get their due recognition". Both of these guys are very well known and are recognized as masters. Grow up.
I am 52 yo right now. I was too young 68 I was just 10. I started collecting blues albumes since 73. I had some LPs from J.Winter or Bloomfield - this concert at Fillmore East was great, older people told me that. The time was complete different as it is today. Even for me, I had long hair in the mid 70ies and I had troubles to go in a restaurant - the people disliked boys with long hair - today nobody cares.
I stopped at a little market in Lascassas TN last year. a young girl behind the counter was wearing an Electric Flag T shirt. I asked if she was a fan and she said she just saw the shirt at the Goodwill store and liked it. Tried to get her to sell it to me but no dice. lol
@dandamagetoo THAT SHIRT WOULD HAVE BEEN WORTH A SHIT LOAD..ORIGINAL CONCERNT SHIRTS FROM LESSER KNOWN BUT THEN POPULAR BANDS FROM THE GREAT ERA ARE A HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE..FLAG WAS A GREAT BAND
@dandamagetoo - At least you tried. You'd have been remiss had you not given it your best effort to finagle such a great tshirt off one who had no real appreciation LOL
I was there that night at the fillmore . Mike introed johnny and i was blown away.it was shows like this that make me get into photography and lucky i was able to document some later shows at the fillmore.now this is music...
An early Winter doesn't mean its gonna be a cold one....:) Johnny that is!
You are listening to Blues history the best of the best.
The Original version found on the Lost Concert Fillmore tracks has an (Intro track) Mike´s Introduction Of Johnny Winter (1968) and then this one track "It´s My Own Fault" (w/ Johnny Winter) (1968) play time is 10:56.
John Dawson "Johnny" Winter III his beginnings! Within a few days after he played w/Bloomfield he, Johnny was signed to what was then the largest advance in the history of the recording industry---$600,000.
1968: Bloomfield and Winter are chewing it up and spitting it out, like nobody's ever heard before... B.B. King, who's been around for over 20 years at that point, is just starting to get some attention on NET (now PBS), Buddy Guy is all but unknown... and on the horizon are two kids in Britain, one a Yank, and one not, named Hendrix and Clapton...
...by 1969, what was expected of a guitar player was changed forever.
I remember when I was an 18 year old schoolgirl sitting in the sun listening to blues records. My doesn't time fly? Now I'm a 44 year old male with a beer gut. Long story cut short - stay off steroids girls....
the track is titled 2 of the greatiist guitar players. well, manhattan take the big back seat. actually, the greatest of the greatest are texans. hey, you did not do it. i did not do it. there are a couple of detroiters in there but basically, texas rules.
Wow!! It doesn't get much better than this! I love how they feed off each other! Sharing and camaraderie, that's what makes it all worth it!! Bravo!! Joey Vaughan "World Blues Attack"
these guys dont get the credit they deserve just because mass industry doesnt want people thinking to much. Otherwise the world would be a beauty. Blues is the feeling. ^^
@michellodie yes he did girl, of course. Highly recommend you some old Johnny winter stuff, like "Blinded by Love "from saints and sinners album" just in case you haven't listen to it.
This is the stuff that every great guitar player's roots are firmly embedded in, and cut their teeth on. I started playing when i was 8, and in my early - mid teens, when all my friends were at keg parties, I was home sittin' in my room stealing every lick off of "Second Winter", Johnny Winter And' & "JW and Live", etc .... I saw Johnny Winter And, with Rick Derringer, Bobby Caldwell, and Randy Jo Hobbs, in 1971.They were the most KickAss adrenaline fueled Bluesy R&R Band EVER !!!
i was just listening to emerson lake and palmer, and they've got some rediiiiculous stuff. i had a hard time keeping up with some of their stuff, haha.
@michellodie then you're obviously the only normal 18 year old girl around. im 14 and my friends are not big fans of this stuff, but in my opinion, this stuff kicks ass!!
Do you want to meet up, because I dig your style. My daddy raised me on similar. Lots of Allman Brothers, Jeff Beck, Dixie Dregs who is you haven't heard I highly recommend. Seriously though that is cool you listen to the blues. It is timless music and will never go away
@michellodie Indeed, he did, girlie. Just like my mama raised me. This is technically before my time too (34 yo here) but my parents had me on this, Beatles, Dylan and Clapton literally before I was even born. Go us!
Mike Bloomfield suffered clinical depression at one point after watching Cream. He was certainly not the best; however Winter just might be.

so sad how Bloomfield left us tho ... I met Bloomfield when he was playing free at Mill
Valley, Ca library in around '75 ... he was amazing then, and running low on funds
because of how the industry mishandled the
finances and royalty rights of great artists.
really a shame. After playing he came to visit and smoke some and hang out at our house ... wonderful person. So sad and tragic when
I heard a few years later how he left this earth ... way too

An early Winter doesn't mean its gonna be a cold one....:) Johnny that is!
You are listening to Blues history the best of the best.
The Original version found on the Lost Concert Fillmore tracks has an (Intro track) Mike´s Introduction Of Johnny Winter (1968) and then this one track "It´s My Own Fault" (w/ Johnny Winter) (1968) play time is 10:56.
BTW it was an original B.B. King tune.....

1968: Bloomfield and Winter are chewing it up and spitting it out, like nobody's ever heard before... B.B. King, who's been around for over 20 years at that point, is just starting to get some attention on NET (now PBS), Buddy Guy is all but unknown... and on the horizon are two kids in Britain, one a Yank, and one not, named Hendrix and Clapton...
...by 1969, what was expected of a guitar player was changed forever.

@sam19851 Great player, among a lot of great players (Mick Taylor would be another), but not the game-changers that Clpaton and Hendrix were.

the track is titled 2 of the greatiist guitar players. well, manhattan take the big back seat. actually, the greatest of the greatest are texans. hey, you did not do it. i did not do it. there are a couple of detroiters in there but basically, texas rules.

Mike Bloomfield has a distinct style for me. I grew up in the 70's and his signature style will never fade. Rock on man.

This is the stuff that every great guitar player's roots are firmly embedded in, and cut their teeth on. I started playing when i was 8, and in my early - mid teens, when all my friends were at keg parties, I was home sittin' in my room stealing every lick off of "Second Winter", Johnny Winter And' & "JW and Live", etc .... I saw Johnny Winter And, with Rick Derringer, Bobby Caldwell, and Randy Jo Hobbs, in 1971.They were the most KickAss adrenaline fueled Bluesy R&R Band EVER !!!

Do you want to meet up, because I dig your style. My daddy raised me on similar. Lots of Allman Brothers, Jeff Beck, Dixie Dregs who is you haven't heard I highly recommend. Seriously though that is cool you listen to the blues. It is timless music and will never go away

@michellodie Indeed, he did, girlie. Just like my mama raised me. This is technically before my time too (34 yo here) but my parents had me on this, Beatles, Dylan and Clapton literally before I was even born. Go us!
