The Winter Brothers

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.

@roxy54 - usually these mini-fests were headlined by people like Fleetwood Mac, Peter Frampton, Scorpions, Grateful Dead, the Who, etc who are in a different league than the Winter Bros, at least in Oakland. 

Johnny Winters is one of two celebrities I’ve met in my life.

I met him after a show at the Whiskey in the mid 70’s. One of my friends older brothers was with us and swore that he grew up with the Winter brothers in Tx.

After the show we went back stage and sure as crap, Johnny gives gives my friends brother a big hug and we hung out backstage for quite a while as they got caught up and induced an incredible amount of " medication".
