Here he is on Letterman two years ago...the man could still rock at 70 (well, 68 two years ago)....

Damn. Saw him in '87. He was a beast. And a heckuva nice guy.

Dangit! I saw Johnny & Edgar Winter with Rick Derringer August 29, 1976 at the old Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. They were the 3rd band out of 5 to play at the Kiss concert. Man, they tore that place up! They put on a show that I hope I never get too old to forget. RIP Johnny Winter. Damn, just damn....

Holy crap! I was there, too. Though for some reason I seem to have substantial memory loss about a lot of the details.
