Johnny Winter warms up his fingers July 1991

the shows began by this track in that year.Johnny warmed up his fingers by this one as Jeff Ganz told in an interview later.I had the opportunity to listen this later that year on 24 November 1991 in Vienna,Austria.The sound quality was as 1000 cd players would play from your stomach.We were nailed on the flour,shouting, could'nt beleive our ears.He received huge applause in each track after each of his lighting speed leads as on a jazz concert.The audience shouted thorought the whole gig.Shall never ever forget that evening.He still has the same appeal today,at 66,playing sitting.Plays slower,but crystal clear,his voice is the same,is helped on stage,but even then.An unbeliavable talent and a fine person.A true living legend.The Master.The Blues Himself.You can check his gigs at www.pollstar.com.

@walker7261981 Another dumbass JIMI and J.W. were best of friends JIMI said i wish i could sound as blue.They never cut a album but they played together often.As a matter of fact they are the two best who ever lived or have lived. Remember woodstock?

@walker7261981 That's a pretty silly thing to say. Johnny and Jimi were friends and jammed at The Scene. Johnny attended the opening of Electric Lady Studio as Jimi's guest. Jimi was enormously respectful of Johnny's playing. But if you need help understand why Johnny was so popular you may want to look up Be Careful With A Fool. This predated AND. Jimi loved that!

@walker7261981 winter is 2 years younger than hendrix and picked up and played the guitar long before hendrix ever hit the scene. winter formed his first band in 1959. maybe you'd like to rethink your obviously uninformed comment

Thanks for sharing this piece of history! A true bluesman and alive!

Stacking one lick after another without repeating oneself. Incredible. There is not one rock guitarist out there that does not wish he or she had this much knowledge of the blues and these skills.

Here you have a legend and the bogus rock hall remains unaccredited since they never inducted JW FIRST

Monster on guitar. Every facet of blues he has mastered. From electric slide

to acoustic finger style. All with totally unique phrasing . A great dude ...
