I saw him ‘73 in Chicago and he had everybody on there feet

Thanks for reacting to Johnny one of the greats but kinda forgotten these days.

Both brothers were stellar. My favorite was always Johnny, mainly b/c I love the blues. This song was during Johnny's short-lived flirtation with rock. He went back to the blues. (He passed away, Edgar is still living.)

I liked Edgar in both of his bands The Edgar Winter Group and White Trash,  but to me, Johnny came along when I got into the blues heavy.  Johnny always was true to his love of the blues.  He came out of Texas where a lot of great blues men hid out.  He probably did more for blues music by bringing a whole new class of listeners to the genre than anyone.  He also brought back Muddy Waters career producing and playing on his great album Hard Again.  For those reason, Johnny has to remain my favorite.

There's no such thing as a blues guitar lick that Johnny couldn't play!

Johnny's performance blows the Stones version away.

Nice to meet you, Neighbor! If you want Johnny Winter blues, try "Sweet Papa John" off the LP Captured Live. You'll be amazed.

Johnny was good friends with the stones and covered a number of their tunes like Let it Bleed

Tobacco Road by Johnny and Edgar Winter is 🔥🔥🔥✌️

Love Edgar. Really love Johnny. Just play Tobacco Road. It's the best of them together.

Johnny was the man and Edgar was his right hand man 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great reaction, Red!  I never got much into the Winter brothers, but liked the songs that i heard.  This is the Stones song.

Frankenstein was number 1 on the Rock listing in the USA and Canada back in those days. We were rolling music people. Edgar was the quiet type and Johnny was open. I loved both from our high school times.

You are so amazing I love all the throwback music Please keep it up occasionally. Today you really hit these 4 out of the park. Happy 4th MRS AMERICA AKA WONDER WOMAN ❤❤💘💘#stonescover #johnnywinter #blues #funk #guitar #multiinstruments #redheadedneighbor #bestreactor #redsarmy #beautifulduncountrygirl #heartofgoldwithmetalinhersoul #26K

Side note .... the song was inspired by Keith Richard's Gardner. Mick heard him walking by the window and ask  who that was. Keith replied " oh, that's Jack ... jumpin' Jack". The rest is history.

I just found your channel, and immediately subscribed!   While Johnny Winters has been called a rock guitarist, and a very capable one, but at his heart, he's a blues player.  He was incredibly well known in the late 60s and early 70s, and in fact, his performance at the Woodstock festival was one of the high points of that concert!  At the time, he could sell out arenas or stadium shows.  His skills on guitar, especially when playing the slide, was amazing, but unfortunately, he ran into some severe trouble with drugs, like heroin, which really took a tole on his life.  The last time I saw him perform, he was so fragile, he had to be helped on stage, and had to play while sitting, though his playing was still phenomenal.

the live version on Johnny Winter And album featured him and Rick Derringer (ex McCoys) duelling leads

This may be better than the Stones version lol

Johnny was blues incarnate. No gimmicks or hi tech, just plug and play. I believe the other guitarist is Floyd Radford (correct me if I'm wrong). They blasted back and forth and never a note out of place. Johnny brought this song to life with pure fire. The Stones original version sounds like elevator music by comparison. Edgar played with Johnny in the beginning, keys and sax. Awesomely talented. Then he got into scientology. What was he thinking?

Thank you for that - I'd have been 21 at that time, but this passed me by - a very different emphasis than the Stones' original - far more about the guitar and less vocal-centred - I loved it.
As to the clothing, well, Rock and Roll has always been pretty transatlantic - fashions skipped back and forth from the USA to Europe and vice versa, in a matter of days once the Television age got properly under way in the mid-sixties. The clothing would have seemed just cool and fully of its time. (except our parents would have laughed at it, of course!)  The long hair was probably fairly much accepted by then, but ten years earlier was a different story - in '64 Johnny's hair would have caused some outrage among older people, they still expected Rock singers to look like Elvis or Bill Hailey.
And as you said, Punk was just around the corner - by 1976 all traces of restraint in clothing or hairstyle was gone - it was literally a case of 'anything goes'.
