Johnny Winter - Jumpin' Jack Flash

Johnny Winter – Jumpin’ Jack Flash – 1974 UK TV Appearance

There’s something about the speed, power, and rawness of live performances like this that’s missing today. This is freaking amazing!

Johnny Winter is the only one who could pull off a cover of this Stones masterpiece and do it justice.

This incredibly talented, brilliant rock and roll blues guitarist died at age 70! Without getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! He is one of the most overlooked and underrated guitarists of all time!

Lyrics:
I was born in a crossfire hurricane, well
And I howled at my ma, at the driving rain, ooh yeah

But it’s alright, oh, that is a gas
I said, it’s all right
Jumpin’ Jack Flash is a g-g-gas, oh yeah

I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag, yeah
I was schooled with a strap right across my back, oh, yes, I was

But it’s alright, and that is a gas
I said, it’s all right
Jumpin’ Jack Flash is a g-g-gas

I was drowned, washed up and left for dead, yes, sure was
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled, ooh
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread, yes, I did
I was crowned with a spike right in through my head, oh yeah

But it’s all, it’s alright, oh, and that is a gas
I said, it’s all, alright
Jumpin’ Jack Flash is a gas, yes, it is

Jumpin’ Jack Flash, it’s a gas
(Jump, jump, jump)
Jumpin’ Jack Flash, it’s a gas
(Jump, jump, jump)

Jumpin’ Jack Flash, it’s a gas
(Jump, will you jump?)
Jumpin’ Jack Flash, it’s a gas

Jumpin’ Jack Flash, it’s a gas
Jumpin’ Jack Flash, it’s a gas
(Oh, [Incomprehensible] me)
Jumpin’ Jack Flash, it’s a gas
(Real gas)

Jumpin’ Jack Flash, it’s a gas
(Girl, yes I was)
Jumpin’ Jack Flash, it’s a gas
(I was schooled with a strap right across my back)

Jumpin’ Jack Flash, it’s a gas
(Oh, yeah)
(I frowned at a crust of bread, yeah)
Jumpin’ Jack Flash, it’s a gas

Jumpin’ Jack Flash, it’s a gas
(Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Jumpin’ Jack Flash, it’s a gas
(I was crowned with a spike runnin’ through my head, yeah)
Hallelujah
