I'm a big fan of Johnny Winter's music.
I saw Johnny Winter And in 1972 and 1974 and I think Rick Derringer was playing with him at those shows at the Rochester War Memorial arena (hockey barn).
I saw Edgar Winters White Trash, and I think Johnny Winter and Rick Derringer were both playing guitar at that show (Rochester War Memorial).
Later I saw Johnny Winter and Muddy Waters play together at "The Red Creek" bar in Rochester New York 1977 or 78.
I was a stoned teenager at the time, so it's possible I've screwed up the exact details.

I've been spinning Muddy Waters' I'm Ready lately which Johnny Winter produced and played on in 1978. Great standard tunes with Muddy's road band and Jimmy Rogers and Walter Horton as well. It must have been cool as hell to see that show in '78.

Yeah, I've seen Edgar Winter and Rick Derringer as well.

I still have Muddy Waters' "Hard Again" album on vinyl (1977). Great album with Johnny Winter, Pinetop Perkins, Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, James Cotton, and Steady Rollin' Bob Margolin. I'm probably forgetting somebody.

I grew up in Johnstown, PA, so I used to go to the Johnstown Jets hockey games in the mid-late '60s. They were in the East Coast Hockey League at that time along with your Rochester Americans, Long Island Ducks, Charlotte Checkers, etc. Johnstown's War Memorial Arena was where the "Charlestown Chiefs" played their home games in the movie 'Slap Shot!'

The Muddy Waters/Johnny Winter gig at Red Creek bar was the material on Hard Again.
I forget who else was in the band that night but the show was just sooooo good.

I was fortunate to see Muddy Waters a couple times in the 76-78 era. As a teenager I didn't understand what I was witnessing but dug it and haven't forgotten Muddy's formidable stage presence and impeccable note choice (on guitar and vocals). He held the crowd in his hand all night. The band was super tight and played with feeling, like reeaaal feeling. Pretty sure Pinetop and Big Eyes were there. As a beginning bassist I was impressed when the bass player hung his bass on his amp with the strap. Who needs a stand?!

Ozzy Osbourne: "Our first gig was up in Carlisle, thanks to Tony's old Mythology contacts. That meant driving two hundred miles up the M6 in Tony's rusty old shitbox of a van, with the motorway stopping and starting all the time, 'cos they hadn't finished tar-macking it. The van's suspension had died along with the dinosaurs, so whenever we went round a corner everyone had to lean in the opposite direction to stop the wheel arch from scraping on the tire. We soon learned that it's almost impossible to lean in the opposite direction of a turn, so this horrible smell of burning rubber kept wafting into the cabin, sparks were flying all over the place, and you could hear this violent grinding noise as the wheel gradually etched a big shaging hole in the bodywork. 'It's a good job you know how to use a welder,' I said to Tony. Another problem was the windscreen wipers: they didn't work. Well, they did for a bit, but it was raining so hard that by the time we'd reached Stafford the motor had conked out. So Tony had to pull over to the hard shoulder in the pissing rain while me and Bill fed a piece of string out of the window, tied it to the wiper, then strung it back through the other window. That way we could wipe the windscreen manually, with me tugging on one end of the string, then Bill tugging on the other. All the way to shaging Carlisle. But the eight-hour drive was worth it. When we finally arrived in Carlisle, I just couldn't stop staring at the flyer for our first official gig. It said: C.E.S. PROMOTIONS Proudly Present… '68 Dancing for Teens and Twenties County Hall Ballroom, Carlisle Saturday August 24th, 7.30 p.m. to 11.30 p.m. – The New, Exciting Group from Birmingham, POLKA TULK BLUES BAND (With ex-member of MYTHOLOGY) plus CREEQUE Non-stop dancing (Admission 5/-) This is it, I said to myself. It's finally happening."
