Way back in about 1969/70, at a little club, Tommy asked my buddy and me if he could sit at our table to wait till it was time for his band to go on. He said his band was called "Winter". We had no idea who he was. Or Johnny. When Johnny walked in, thru the front door...what a sight! He had a girl on his arm. I'm sure he was awesome, but I can't remember. We were just young teens and had nothing to compare it to. It was at a little hippie type club here in Houston called Love Street Light Circus. 😎 😻✌

I have been playing slide for 38 years. It has to be said that no one plays like this. It is part blues, part rock, part creative explosiveness but at the end of the day can not be categorized. So much feel, power, and raw expression. We can copy but there will never be another like him.

I've seen Johnny play live a few times, and it is heavily dependant on the audience what he plays; bluesrock, or pure rock'n'roll, or even jazzrock, or any color and mix of these. Who's also almost that versatile, is Eric Burdon; also seen often. I'd have loved to have seen them both together on stage!

I was introduced to this song when it was covered by Dave Fiester & The Groove Monsters during an early 90s gig in Cocoa Beach. Dave was once in the Henry Paul (of The Outlaws) Band, and he had tremendous respect for those that came before him. In fact, when The Henry Paul Band appeared on American Bandstand in 1982, Dick Clark asked each member of the band who were their musical influences. Several mentioned the Allman Brothers, as did Dave. He also mentioned...Johnny Winter. RIP Big Dave Fiester (1953-2005). Central Florida misses you to this day.

I don't thing anyone every played bottleneck better than Johnny Winter. The man played the blues with incredible feeling, soul, and great creativity and technique, while being totally authentic. But even though they call it the blues, I was never sad listening to him play, in fact, quite the opposite. If I was down or low energy, hearing him play always brought me up. He always played with great energy and spirit. He totally loved playing the guitar and showing people how happy he was to perform.

Happy Birthday, and RIP Johnny. Mean Town Blues was originally recorded on The Progressive Blues Experiment LP at The Vulcan Gas Company in Austin, TX. I have this LP on the Imperial Records label (55 years). This stripped down lineup with Tommy Shannon and Red Turner had it all over the later McCoys collaboration, which I saw at the Fillmore East, 3/71. As the LP cover states "Winter is hard and heavy in his hypnotic blues bag. Before the recording session there was Johnny Winter and his guitar. During the session, Johnny became the guitar".

This is Johnny's original band that signed with Columbia. "Uncle" John Turner on drums /Tommy Shannon-who went on to be SRV's bass player for about two decades. After never being in the right place at the right time to see Johnny, including the show where Edgar brings out Johnny, the late show at Howard Steins Academy of Music in NY. I was too young to go to the late show because we had to take the L. I. Railroad and there were no trains that ran late enough. Me and my best buddy who had been going to every Edgar Winter show thinking maybe Johnny will appear, missed Johnny again. Finally, in little Olympia, WA around 1987-88, Johnny played this small club called "Detroits" and played just about every song from his very first pre-Columbia days, "The Progressive Blues Experiment" which I had brought with me, and watched Johnny with my chin resting on the stage and tears rolling down my cheeks. It's the only time I've ever yelled out, "play Johnny B. Good," - he was "Johnny B. Goode."

saw him at Filmore west around 1967. sat close enough to see the tips of his fingers pressing on the strings .i say this because he created a sound like bone on metal . very clean and sharp and LOUD. and yes we all sat in silence in those days out of respect for the musicians . it was the norm to really deeply listen

Saw him live at Pirates World, Ft. Lauderdale, FL in the early 70s. That concert became an album and rightfully so. Winters killed it. RIP, Johnny, and thank you most kindly for the music.

I saw Johnny many times. I called him "Spider Fingers" He had perfect hands & fingers in form and style. When that guitar starts, you know it's Johnny. His tone, timbre stood out amongst the 1-4-5 chord progressions of the day. And his distinct staccato was and still is the John Dawson Winter trademark. We miss you Johnny. RIP brother, from an "Old Dog"

A player that created and defined a class. Twelve string blues lead and rythym. Never again will we know this nasty joy.

Took my 18 year 24 year old son to see Johnny in 2008. He leaned over and said "Dad his has alien fingers!!!". I said something like, I don't think Johnny is from here. He was The Man on Guitar. Sometimes he just gets going so fast it's had to catch it all. RIP...
