The Winter Brothers

I loved Rick Derringer's work with Johnny Winter And.....  Went to a big outdoor festival at Oakland Stadium back in the 70's that was headlined by Johnny and Edgar; very cool, if somewhat optimistic as a festival headliner...

The Edgar Winter Group with Derringer, Randy Z and Dan Hartman were one of the most talented groups of the 70s.

One of the saddest shows I saw was Johnny Winter on his last tour before his death.  He was basically unable to do a complete show due to his poor health.

Read his Auto biography Raising Cane. Johnny was being over medicated by his own manager. He was so over medicated that the medication he was taking for his tremors was causing tremors. When the manager went on a vacation his girlfreind,later to become his wife took Johnny to a doctor and weaned him off medication. His girlfriend and Johnny sued his manager and took over his affairs after millions of dollars had disappeared.

I was just looking at some photos the other day that I took at a 'Day on the Green' concert in Oakland that was headlined by Johnny and Edgar Winter. Kind of an odd headliner for a stadium show, but good fun, and Rick Derringer was there, too...

I don' t think it's odd. At one time Johnny and Edgar were extremely popular especially in some areas. Philadelphia was one of them.
