Hey, I hate all of this "whos better than wo" crap.
Why can't we just love every guitarist for his (or her) own work? They are all supermen in my mind, I can barely play a chord. Guitarists are my road to nirvana, and I love them all!
from his physical state, and his guitar playin i believe johnny was a wreck at this time, ive heard earlier and later versions of this song, where the guitarplaying is way better, this sound uninspired, not good melody, rythm or tone

Johnny was the man but Keef was a much better songwriter and had a far greater influence on guitarists and music generally. Thats probably borne out in the number of stones songs that Sweet Papa John covered
Watching the enthusiasm of the audience is great. It's obvious they loved Johnny and his band. There's just something really special for musicians when they connect with an audience like that.
I like how all of you people are hating on the Stones when this song wouldn't exist without Keith Richards. Anyone talking about aggressive guitar should listen to the live version with Keith and Mick Taylor on Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out. It'll take your head off!
That said, Johnny obviously enjoyed Keith's version or he wouldn't be up there jamming on it. How about everybody tones down the Stones hate and just enjoy the goddamn song. It rocks!
@zstalin Yeah, no kidding man, this kind of hate exists all over music videos and brings nothing to the music equation. Like the man says, chill out and enjoy!
dr. john is the phil anselmo of the 60s and 70s. deeply rooted in the underground, stricty n' awlins, always high on the heavy stuff, authentic as they come, and ALWAYS a powerful performer.
Keith Richards isn't good enough to play 6 strings! He has trouble playing the 5 he puts on his guitar! JW is the best blues/rock guitarist/singer that ever was-end of story! Peace!
Can't underestimate or dismiss Keith Richards, he's great, and Johnny cited the Stones as a major influence in a Guitar Player interview.. KR playing this song live doesn't sound like the record either. Johnny Winter turns the pop rock power chord thing over ( improperly ), and spanks it's ass 'till it screams the blues.
Wow. I've seen Jon Paris live at BB. King's, Times Square, NYC. I bought a dedicated CD ^^ I didn't know that dude played with Johnny Winter, I found that video and was just stunned. The man's really cool !
Keith Richards, Mick Taylor, Ronnie Woods, and Brian Jones combined can't play guitar this good. It's not a rehearsed bunch of crap. This is an improvised rendition in the classic blues tradition. I think Mick Jagger and the boys couldn't be more proud to listen to their baby as played by Johnny Winter. Never gets old...
Threw me off to see Dr. John at the piano. He's Mr. New-Orleans-Piano!
I actually own one of those very short Steinberger-type-guitars.
I saw Johnny and Jon Paris do this I-play-your-instrument-thing in the late 70s (Rockpalast) and I decided to do the same - which was easy because we were two guitar players in the band sharing the bass for lack of a real bassist. Oh man, the feedback was not so cool. People thought, we were gay! :-))) Omitted it from the show immediately!

@Unclemoparman since when..Johnny Winter, Ritchie Blackmore,,these guys can Play the Guitar...haven't heard anything worth while from M.T. since his short stint with the Stones.
@SmithRuel Hang on a sec, Mick Taylor! I would pay to hear Johnny jam with Mick Taylor Two JETS, open 'em up, full throttle and let your ears bleed Ye Hah
@SmithRuel Dont compare to Mick Taylor.. he is another style and no one could do better than he did with Stones back in late sixtees and prime seventees.. and Keith did the songs that live forever - Johnny is good .. sure you are right.
@SmithRuel Tho he does a good job of it, he's not playing the stones version. Different isn't better, it's just different. rehearsed bunch of crap - you have your head up your ass.
Why does Johnny play this song in the key of A( instead of the Stones' original B - the same was on JW's London gig in 1974)? How does he tune his headless guitar? Is it one step down? His figers play the same positions as on the London gig which was in B! Is this because he tuned his headless guitar differently? One full step down?
Just curious!
He's been one of my favourite guitar player in the field of blues since the early seventies..
@emilzd Every venue sounds different, sometimes you have to adapt to your surroundings, what sounds good in B in one place may sound weak in another ...also Richards tuned his axe to an open A for that song.
Johnny sure can play as good as any. I think he didnt play a lot of hard rock like this all the time. He liked playing other things. When I was a kid we all liked his style. This is mabe the best version of jjf he did.
The USA's most under-appreciated guitarist, Johnny Winter! Jon Paris ain't no slouch, neither. Nothing wrong with a Earl/Lazer guitar, in the hands of a grand master...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Great guitarist, up to the level of SRV and others, but....jezz man!, what a fucking horrible guitar!!!, it just doesnt fit at all with the music he performs, that kinda crap guitar is for sissy 80's pop boyz...., when you're playing real men music, there's only 2 options, Gibson or Fender.
I think Johnny sounded better playing Gibson Firebird guitars. They seemed to carry more voice & tone to them and were more suited to his playing style.
It's a somewhat disgrace for rock the fact that a genius guitarist like this almost never join a band with a genius of charismatic singer like Mick Jagger. Rock most of the time is also about inflated Ego Wars...
dosnt sound anywhere near as good as keith richards. im not saying hes not good on guitar because that would be a daft comment but it dosnt have that proper rock power chord thing going on like the stones. stil amazing guitarist though
lol im sure you wouldnt say that to his face. i didnt say that keith is a better guitar player i just said this song sounds better with keith playing. the guitar is the best bit of the song n it aint got it in this version. just my opinion though lol
To be fair, Keith R's guitar is tuned to an open G to get that chord 'bigness', while Ronnie W uses regular tuning, helping to create the total Stones guitar sound. Johnny did a pretty good job for the only guitarist in a three-piece band.
I saw John Dawson Winter lll along with John Mayall and SRV many moons ago. twas without a doubt the one of the best shows I've ever seen.I don't give 2 shits if he plays sittin' down now! The audience will be more than happy to stand for him.
My guitar instructor popped a Johnny Winter CD into his system and had me listen to it for a few minutes. He then looked at me and asked "What do you think this guy looks like?" I said "he's gotta be 6'5" 400 pounds and black" unbelievable voice and playing. He should have been the biggest thing to ever hit a stage.
Wow, every time I watch this video it makes me want to get up and shake my ass!!! What a phenomenon,those people in that studio didn't even know what hit them, those people in the front row must have been deaf or retarded with J.W. throwing down some of the best rock and roll they had ever heard. I would have given my left nut just to have been in that room(maybe even my right nut too) LOL.Rock on to all you J.W. fans out there!!!!!!!!
I think I did too for many years. Probably because he wasn't really mainstream, no big hits or anything. But damn, can he play the guitar! Love his voice too, great blues voice. Way under the radar, but probably as good as I've seen. Few exceptions, but not many are better!
Dr. John-ohh man! I still remember the gig at the end of the 80s in Bremen, Germany and Dr. John played support and encore of Johnny´s set. I will not forget that day!
One of the best guitar players that ever lived and thats no bullshit man. I watched a video of him from 2008 and it made me cry like a baby. We were all so young and beautiful and rockin mothers back then. Deringer, Edger, Ronnie Montrose, bad mother fuckers.
Yes, we all get older (if we're lucky) and none of us look the way we did in '71, but Johnny is still tearin' the joint apart like never before! SEE HIM!!! Your ears and soul will thank you.
This guy is brilliant. I've got that album of his; Nothin' But The Blues. Even after all these years its still in a class of its own. Hope the man is well and happy.

The escence of a good cover: make it sound yours! Extreme example: Iron Man, originally Black Sabbath's. Listen The Cardigans'.
Great version.

@frenchielcfc I forgot Johnny Winter was a rock guitar player. IDIOT

To be fair, Keith R's guitar is tuned to an open G to get that chord 'bigness', while Ronnie W uses regular tuning, helping to create the total Stones guitar sound. Johnny did a pretty good job for the only guitarist in a three-piece band.

My guitar instructor popped a Johnny Winter CD into his system and had me listen to it for a few minutes. He then looked at me and asked "What do you think this guy looks like?" I said "he's gotta be 6'5" 400 pounds and black" unbelievable voice and playing. He should have been the biggest thing to ever hit a stage.

Wow, every time I watch this video it makes me want to get up and shake my ass!!! What a phenomenon,those people in that studio didn't even know what hit them, those people in the front row must have been deaf or retarded with J.W. throwing down some of the best rock and roll they had ever heard. I would have given my left nut just to have been in that room(maybe even my right nut too) LOL.Rock on to all you J.W. fans out there!!!!!!!!

I think I did too for many years. Probably because he wasn't really mainstream, no big hits or anything. But damn, can he play the guitar! Love his voice too, great blues voice. Way under the radar, but probably as good as I've seen. Few exceptions, but not many are better!

Dr. John-ohh man! I still remember the gig at the end of the 80s in Bremen, Germany and Dr. John played support and encore of Johnny´s set. I will not forget that day!

I think his mid-70s versions on the Firebird were better, but this still rocks.

One of the best guitar players that ever lived and thats no bullshit man. I watched a video of him from 2008 and it made me cry like a baby. We were all so young and beautiful and rockin mothers back then. Deringer, Edger, Ronnie Montrose, bad mother fuckers.

Yes, we all get older (if we're lucky) and none of us look the way we did in '71, but Johnny is still tearin' the joint apart like never before! SEE HIM!!! Your ears and soul will thank you.
