Johnny Winter - Highway 61 Revisited Live Canada 1977.avi

Sorry, just disagree NOBODY is light years ahead of Duane!

[BlankenshiptheDevil]

And whoever put Allman above Hendrix has ate a few too many magic mushrooms. That's laughable at best.

[BlankenshiptheDevil]

Johnny Winter was light years ahead of Duane Allman. Light years. The ABB were far more popular, and Duane's untimely demise also added to his allure, but JDW III had licks Duane, or Dickey Betts, or Clapton, could not touch. I own everything the ABB and Duane put out, so I've heard it all. Duane was very, very good, but he wasn't Winter. As for the modern stuff, I'd also put Dave Hole above Duane Allman on slide work; that dude is a bad man.

next time see me man you betta run

[nashtndawg]

I like JW, but NOBODY is better than Duane Allman was on slide guitar....NOBODY!.....

[xXxDriftingCowboyxXx]

@nashtndawg Pfft not even Jimi could catch Duane.

[Easleytee]

@xXxDriftingCowboyxXx

Don't compare Jimi w/ Duane.

Duane was solid...but he wasn't playing in the same musical galaxy as James Marshall.

[xXxDriftingCowboyxXx]

@Easleytee I respectfully disagree. Jimi may have been more influential but Duane's talent in my humble opinion out weighed Jimi's. But its an opinion. Not the gospel truth.

[mdnyrtydr]

@nashtndawg WRONG! Seen them both, Love the Allmans and Duane, played with Dicky, not even close. Johnny hands down

[MinkSnopes1]

best cover of a Dylan song, with no apologies needed to Jimi Hendrix.

[fluffydolly]

killer guitarist saw live once great time.....!!!!!

[megagatvol]

I just love the fact that Jon Paris is on the Fender Bass

[Ricky10106]

Simply the the best slide player ever.



[DUSTYBASS]

 Johnny Winter is a great slide player. A unique voice, playing style. One of the best bluesmen living. A National Treasure, enjoy him while we got him.

[s6y9l]

You can do what you wantay, but now, next time you see me comin' brother, you better RUN.

[Slickdapj]

Get into an argument about "best slide player" and this is powerful evidence for JW.  Holy moley. Do you see his fingers?

[MinkSnopes1]

@Slickdapj Best GUITAR player - saw him live four times and would have gone to see him every night at one time. Best show ever - The Vic, Chicago (11/22/91)

[precisionb]

One of my favorite Artists. He's the best bluesman I really Know.

[MinkSnopes1]

@precisionb really underrated blues guitarist - R.S, had him #43 or whatever - should be in the top five.

[mcleanartists]

Rare?????????? LOL

[tb0432]

The drummer is probably Bobby Torello

[precisionb]

Great classic thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

[handpulled]

[xkecoupe]

[chazlasvegas1]

wow wow wow

chazvegas

[DOWNwithDICTATORS2]

Who is the drummer???

[chill66blog]

Sorry but im sure this is toronto 1983, im sure john paris joined Johnny in 1978 or 79

[TrapDaddy65]

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he was using an MXR Phase 90.

[GLDavee]

I had the pleasure of seeing Johnny (as well as sitting down with the man and getting to talk for a bit before the show) last month. It's hard to put into words just how much better Johnny's doing! There were times during the show that it sounded like the Johnny of the mid 80's. He's surrounded by people who genuinely care for him, and seems pretty happy with life. If you get the chance to see him...GO!!! He has a new studio album set for release in the near future.

[Jans2Sons]

I saw Johnny in January 2011. He's still a bit frail, but he's doing much better and, guess what? With his health returning, so is his skill. He's starting to sound like the old Johnny again. The wild man has returned. Cool Daddy is on his way back. I hope he puts out another album soon because what was lost, has been found!

[chrisb3999]

Hi, maybe you can use Audacity 1.3 Beta software to re-master the sound. I have had good results when transfering old Johnny Winter tapes to MP3 format.

[vachalia]

I never understood why he chose to have a phase effect turned on all the time in that period. It destroys all the clarity in the notes.

[fzappa007]

@vachalia you're right!!! at that time it was all the rage, it was a flanger not a phase-shifter remember Pat Travers?? he drove that sound into the ground...every tune on his live record is completely FLANGED ....barf, anyway we all know JW doesn't need any effects he is the man , TEXAS blues MASTER!!

[jkomen]

I have seen clips of this concert on DVD's put out by Johnny lately, but never this whole show much less this song. Which DVD or VHS is this from. Any info will help, Thank you.

[heffernanca]

@jkomen This concert was originally shown on TV, and later released on VHS. To my knowledge the whole concert is not available on DVD. 4 songs from the show can be found on a DVD called "Johnny Winter: Live Through The '80s," but does not include "Highway 61." The VHS tape was simply called "Johnny Winter Live," and was released in 1984 by Music Media and produced by Concert Productions International. I have an original tape. Perhaps you can find a copy on ebay. I hope this helps.
