This is a great shot. I especially like the fact that this was the time when they were supposedly all unhappy with each other and Paul and Ringo are goofing around.

Good call on the bass player. I took one look at drummers vest and thought Santana. The percussionist also performed with Santana at Woodstock, whoever it is.

Here is one that I took in Chicago.
Not sure if it would be considered cool or if the subject qualifies it as a Rock and Roll photo. But here it is anyway.
In case anyone does not recognize him, it is Johnny Winter.

I love that pic.
Bought my first Johnny Winter (Second Winter) record in 1970 when I was 12 and have loved his music ever since.
I look at him as the father of Stevie Ray and Johnny Lang and Joe Bonamassa and Kenny Wayne Shepard and Gary Clark Jr. ....and a bunch of others I am forgetting.
I think the guy was great.

Saw Johnny winter at a small club some years back. He was playing a headless like the one in photo, don't know if it is the same guitar. He is an amazing guitarist but his tone was so terrible it made it hard to enjoy his playing.
Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson
Johnny Winter set the tone controls on his amp, (I think a Music Man with 4 tens) at full treble, mid and bass at zero. I saw him play many times. Once with his brother Edgar.
His tone was very trebly. He sure could play though.
Back in maybe 1972 Johnny was appearing in Milwaukee, and I llived west of there in the beautiful "lake country". I called the fanciest hotel in Milwaukee, and said I would like to talk to Mr. Winter, without even knowing if he was staying there. They rang his room and I had a nice talk with him that ended with him asking me who I was, and if he should know me. I probably was a bother but he was cool about talking to a young fan.
A local Milwaukee guy who played bass in a great three piece band from Milwaukee at a dance at my high school, (Pewaukee High School) in a band called OX, ended up being Johnnies bass player for many years. He plays blues on a Strat now. Check him out. Jon Paris.
I saw Johnny and Edgar and Rick Derringer back when Edgar Winter's White Trash Band was touring in 1971-72, the show was fantastic, and the sound was what a band sounds like in a Hockey Arena.
Then I saw Johnny in 1977 with Muddy Waters in a bar supporting Muddy Waters Hard Again album, the show sounded really good in that size place.

Maybe when I saw him he was just having a bad equipment night. In addition to his tone there was a really obnoxious hum. Not your usual 60 cycle hum, I am cool with that. This was something different.
I think as he got older, he was not a super healthy guy, and I think he relied on a number of people to do things for him.
Maybe his sound suffered because of that, or he may have gone deaf as got old.
