I was a junior at Mission Bay hs,, this was and still is some of the greatest rock/blues anybody ever played. we loved the sports arena,,, saw johnny there at least twice,, this one too...
Winter, Hendrix, Green, Beck, Vai, Satrianni, SRV, Buddy, Lightin', both Kings they are all great in their separate ways imho JW is very good in all aspects from slow to fast, boogie, slide and his percision will be measured for decades to come if not forever!! I'm a player to get this same sound is almost unimagineable, thanks Johnny for all the years of pleasure.
Listening to J.W. for a long time. Had I heard this 40 years ago I would've been sooo disapointed. This my first listen to this cut and honestly, well, he is singing very alternative lyrics but for the most part he could still wipe the floor of most gitplayers.Go Johnny Go!
Scroungy, broken and not for a minute unintentional. Johnny is scary talented and anyone who plays knows it. He stands above Page, way above Clapton, almost to the heights of Jimi.
@warriordrum I agree! I am an old fart (59), and I grew up with this stuff. I am a player myself and Johnny Winter was one of my all time biggest influences. Very unique in his own way. When I bought the album "Johnny Winter And" when it was first released, it totally blew me away.
One of my all time favorites puts me in a coma every time i hear it is it appropriate to play at my final resting place? or maybe Peace in the Valley by Elvis or Knockin on Heavens Door by Guns & Roses?
For Johnny to stretch out on Hey Joe... well, no problem. Yes, he was drunk as hell. You know something, I accept that. I will listen to J.W. anyway it comes. I mean anyway. Go Wings.
@jazzynet1 - I was there too in '73 - '74. I lived at Gam Hall, room 268 on the East Green. I wonder it the 3 joints I left under my bed are still there?

Johnny sounds totally fucked up here. Yet he could still play better than most others. Says a lot.

Saw him at Peabodys in Virginia beach SC in 1980. Played till he dropped, most amazing pure guitarist i've ever seen.

anything JW plays comes across with one message.
He is one of the all time best guitar players to date!
