No auto-tune, no click track, no in-ear monitors...just pure f'in talent.
Nuttin' wrong with click tracks. 😂
I would love to have seen what Edger could have done to tweak an Auto Tune device.
well, autotune wasn't invented until 1997, so they could'nt've used it in 1972 even if they wanted to lol
Nothin wrong with in ear monitors
…and about 15 minutes of practice….
Edgar, and his Guitar playing brother Johnny Winter were both afflicted with Albinism, his hair is White not Grey. They were from Beaumont, Texas, so they both spent a lot of time indoors, out of the harsh Texas sun, practicing their musical instruments. Edgar veered towards Rock and Roll, and Johnny veered towards the Blues, both were damn good at what they did. Johnny passed in a Swiss hotel room on tour a decade or so ago, Edgar is still Rocking.
Decades ago I got to see Edgar and Johnny playing with BB King at a concert in Htown. Still one of the best concerts that I ever got to witness.
I got to see a show at the Bronco Bowl in Dallas almost 40 years ago with Edgar opening, The Greg Allman Band playing 2nd, (the Allman Brothers had split up at the time, lots of reasons), and Johnny Winter closing in the way that only he could. It was epic.
I was wondering if both were still with us. Sorry to hear of Johnny's passing. I still see that album cover from when I was a kid, the two of them side by side. Underrated legends, both.
@@cainealexander-mccord2805 Edgar is a regular performer of Ringo's All-stars just about every tour they do for a number of years now.
@@thomasdaugherty6671 Very good to know. My husband became ill in 2011 and that's about the time I started losing track of favoured musicians. I'm not surprised to hear about the All-Stars gig. Always quality folks on those tours.
Edgar who is still with us is the nicest, most down to earth person you would want to meet. He won a grammy recently for a tribute album to his bro called _My Brother Johnny._
I totally agree with your take on Edgar. I happened to run into him at the airport in NY a few years ago. I am also originally from East Texas like Edgar. I didn't want to intrude on him, but I also couldn't miss the opportunity to tell him how much I enjoy his work. He was so genuinely kind and gracious just as you described him. His voice was like a melody. It still oozed that East Texas accent. Just sweet and smooth. He just struck me as a genuinely nice person, and he said he appreciated it that I enjoyed his work. He and Johnny made Texas proud.
@@minigirl6839 thanks for the reply, I enjoyed reading it. I guess you can say, he's not just nice, he's _Southern_ nice! 😉
That's badass, I was wondering if they were related. I always thought Johnny Winter was Swedish or something, but that might be cos of Skwisgaar from Metalocalypse 😆
You should do the live version of Tobacco Road where he does the vocals. His brother Johnny is on the guitar for that one.
And Tommy Shannon’s on bass. 🙂
And it's OUTSTANDING!
Agree 100% If you were impressed with all his instruments, wait till you hear his voice. Then check out Johnny Winter...one of the great blues guitarists.
So much talent. That’s Rick Derringer on guitar I believe. Listen to his ‘Rock-n-Roll Hootchie Coo’ sometime !
He also did Hogan's theme.
Saw the title of this video and raced to click on it. So glad you guys are watching this amazing classic from one of two musical genius brothers, Edgar and Johnny. They are pure talent. As are the other musicians playing with them.
SUCH an AWESOME PERFORMANCE!!! Ya'll MUST check out Edgar's vocals on Tobacco Road - he's playing, in that video, with his brother: Johnny Winter's band....AMAZING MUSICIANS!!! RIP to Johnny! YOU are MISSED! Great REACTION, YOU-GUYS!! HUGS!
Free Ride & Tobacco Road are both great Edgar & Johnny Winter (brothers) jams. Both are albino multi instrument playing rock stars. 🔥🔥
The keyboard that Edgar modified to be worn around his neck is, in fact, the trigger device for the very early ARP 2600 synthesizer he's playing through. Everything analogue-patched and played in real time (not pre-programmed nor sequenced). Raw talent. Saw them perform this in 1974 when I was 14 at an outdoor concert.
Yep. The knobs and sliders he’s fiddling with at the end are on the synthesizer. It’s the size of an amp stack, but that’s just a single analogue synth and the keyboard is only its controller. God bless the roadies who loaded and setup every instrument Edgar played on a nightly basis. 😅
Chuck Ruff, drums, Dan Hartman, bass, Rick Derringer, guitar, and Edgar Winter on everything else, lol. This is why people had talent, used that talent, and passed into legend. I was only a little girl when this came out, but I grew up with THE best music experiences of my generation. Unless I'm cursed with dementia, I'll always have music in my heart & soul.
This live version of this song is a total experience. It blew me away the first time I saw it. Edgar Winter is very talented & plays many instruments including keyboards, saxophone & timbales. The title "Frankenstein" refers he fact that the original recording of the song was much longer than the final version & it required numerous edits to shorten it. So they spliced together many different parts.
If you want to hear Edgar singing on top of everything else that he can do, then you need to check out the live version of “Tobacco Road!” You’ll also get to see his brother, Johnny, on guitar.
Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer, poet, author, editor, and literary critic who is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre.
The Tell Tale Heart is a great short story. The Raven is a great poem.
The Fall of the House of Usher is a great Netflix one-season series loosely based on the works of Edgar Allen Poe.
Poe is the reason I became an avid reader in high school.
The real question is would Poe have enjoyed this song. I often wonder what kinds of modern music historical figures would have been into.
@@eddiemidnitePoe turned me on to reading.
Edgar also had another incredible Soul/R&B band called White Trash with Jerry LaCroix. If you want to TRULY be amazed, though, check out the performance of 'Tobacco Road' he did with his brother (Guitar slinger Johnny Winter) it's absolute FIRE!!!
Winter actually was the first who wore the electric piano that way, it’s called something else now. He was a very very early user of the synthesizer
Keytar
It was called frankenstien because it was a bunch of ideas Edgar had for songs and he just mashed them all together. This was a monster hit in the 70s.
I see what you did there! 🤣
Edgar Winter is a M'Fin Musical Genius!! Multi instrumentals, and one of the sweetest human beings to walk the planet. I had the honor of working sound at one of his concerts in Minnesota, and even though I was just a "grunt" at that show, he still took the time to say hello, and thank us for the work we did to get the show up and running.
The guitar was his late brother Johnny's thing...but I'm willing to bet he could play one too.
Fun Fact the guy on guitar is Rick Derringer who came to fame with a band named "The McCoys" with the #1 single "Hang on Sloopy" and then solo with the tune "Rock and Roll Hoochie Coo" (you guys should hit both tunes, the 1st is an early 60's garage band/pop rock song and the 2nd straight up 70's blues rock). He also obviously worked with Edgar Winter as well as lots of other prominent musicians doing session work and such.
Anyway he grew up in small town Ohio near where I grew up and still live, and although he was a was a bit older the circle of people he ran with, overlapped with people my mom and her younger sister ran with, and mom grew up listening to all kinds of the great music of the 60's and 70's.
It was her album collection is what got me heavily addicted to classic rock in the early mid 80's, when I was just in elementary school, part of the infatuation was because my mom talking about being in her early teens, getting to experience the small town garage band music of her friends, older siblings, which included Rick and some of his musician friends, and I remember thinking how cool it was that she new famous people ESCECIALLY famous rock musicians and being an amazing young kid.
Those stories lit a fire and as I hit middle school starting reading anything and everything I could about the musicians of 60's and 70's rock and roll fame. That how I in my early mid teens I recognized Rick Derringer as we sat at a public picnic table at the edge of a small town street fair, eating buttered ears of roasted sweet corn from a nearby vendor.
I found out later that he happened to be back in the area because he was the Grand Marshall of the fair that year as it was some significant anniversary for the small town.
So after I'd finished my roasted sweet corn, and pushed past my apprehension I looked over at him and I said Hey Mr. Derringer I really your music, and told him about my mom being around when he was still playing in local garage bands in the early days of his career, and started rambling about the music I enjoyed, he chuckled at my nervousness and formally introduced himself and thanked my for the compliment and said I had great taste in music and just general platitudes before he had to go, he reached out to shake my hand and told me to and I quote "Stay Cool".
I was on cloud nine I for a couple days after being told by a fuckin famous rock musician to "stay cool", and believe you me I retold that story to my buddies acting like I was the big dick in the locker room. I have also used that against my kids when they were angsty teens telling them that they may think I suck but I know for a fact I'm cool and would regale them with my brush with fame time and time again lol.
Now that you have seen that, please checkout him and his brother Johnny performing Tobacco Road.
Ronnie Montrose was the original guitarist in the studio on this song, but moved in to form his own group. Check out Rock Candy, Montrose.
Great album and player R.I.P. Ronnie you are missed. Solo album Open Fire is great. It has Edgar playing and production
They are albino brothers... very talented... sadly Johnny passed in 2014. You now have to listen to Edgar AND Johnny Winter perform "Tobacco Road"... a slow dirty blues that has the wickedest vocals from Edgar!!!
Now you know why old people keep saying today's music sucks. Lol. We lived in a golden age of music.
Smokey and Hollywood thanks for the memories! I saw them when I was in my teens when they played at the local small town college in 1970 or ‘71. Frankenstein wasn’t on any albums as of yet but they played a version of it. It was mind blowing.
Albinos spend a lot of time indoors, for obvious reasons. Johnny and Edgar Winter mastered musical instruments and we were blessed by it.
Try his song “Free Ride”, another great tune!!
There is a version when he actually flies away riding his saxaphone ! That dude is beyond awesome !
Their mother said they were talented as babies!! Edgar and his very talented brother Johnny!!
The Greatest Band You Never Knew...
Edgar and Johnny Winter were both brilliant musicians. Edgar played multiple instruments, all incredibly well, and Johnny was one of the greatest blues guitarists ever. On occasion, they played together, but they both had their own bands and style.
Now watch Focus doing Hocus Pocus on live TV. They told them they had four minutes to play a seven minute song. So they sped it up insanely and it includes yodeling.
And whistling and almost like scat singing.
They got the name Frankenstein while editing and having pieces of tape sitting all over the studio the drummer Chuck Ruff walked in and said looks like Frankenstein, also Edgar and brother Johnny Winter were legally blind, great reaction guys.
The Swiss Army musician. Just keeps pulling tools out! One of the best riffs ever. Loved watching you guys react to this one. :D
What instruments can he play? ALL OF THEM. TOBACCO ROAD!
8:12 Keytars didn't come out til 1984. This song came out in 1972.
He's playing an arp 2600 analog synthesizer.
The lead guitarist is Rick Deringer. His "Rock n Roll Hoochie Qu" is one of my ATF top-5 songs of
Edgar also can sing his ass Clean-Off. And his brother Johnny Winter is a guitar wizard who is also an Albino...
The Edgar Winter Group has a groovy song called "Free Ride". That one has lyrics and all.
GA bros! Hey, Hollywood! As a fan, it was a joy to hear Big Momma!
Every Southern boy of any color knows and feels that!
God bless her! It put a huge smile on my face! 😁
The Edgar Winter Group had a huge hit with the song “Free Ride” off this same album. The song is sung by the bass player, the late Dan Hartman, who had his own smash hit solo songs “Instant Replay” and “I Can Dream About You”. Ronnie Montrose is a guitar wizard, whose band Montrose featured Sammy Hagar on vocals in his debut on the band’s debut album “Montrose”. A LOT of talent comes from this line-up. 😊
You're about to behold a f--kin clinic in musicianship
Nicely played Y'all 👍👍 Please 🙏 you have got to check out Johnny and Edgar Winter - "Tobacco Road." Spread the love 🐶😎🇺🇸 And yes, the blonde guy is Edgar. He and his brother Johnny are albino. And Edgar sings his ass off on Tobacco Road 🤙
I'm pretty sure the term "sock it to me" was popularized by the 60's T.V. show Laugh In. They even got Richard Nixon to say it when he was on the show in 1968, while he was running for president.
Big fun! I remember hearing this on radio 1973 (I was 10) and it blew my socks off! Yes Edgar Winter invented the keyboard guitar. Most recently this song was in a commercial for Apple Toughbook. Perfect BadAss song for that.
that is what is meant by leaving it all on stage ! Bravo !
I grew up in a classic rock household... When I discovered weed in the early 2000's, it was very natural for me to gravitate towards this. I remember I would rip a couple bong hits, and listen to this song on headphones... It absolutely caused a brain meltdown. I loved it.
Imagine being in a 1970 F100 .. no Internet no reactions just the radio and your driving and all of a sudden that shit comes on!
😂😂😂😂 Edgar Allen Poe! 🤭😁😂😂😂😂 Love you guys! I stopped after that line, grabbed a blunt then pressed play. 🤗 Got the George Harrison question right because he secretly was my favorite Beatle. However didn't get the last one. I said Don too. 😍 Shout out to Momma Six! 😂 Smokey needs a new Insurance company. And 😌 welcome to the magic of the Winter Brothers, 2 creative geniuses that definitely left their mark on musicians world wide. Got to see Edgar do Frankenstein live because they frequently played nyc club dates. 🥰🐰
Dan Hartman on bass wrote and sang Free Ride! Later put out an album with Vinnie Vincent on guitar !!
Then had a few huge hits in the 80's
This is a rite of passage for all reaction channels.
Best part of this treat - when you listen to the studio version - it'll be equally as tasty.
I can't believe you haven't reacted to this yet!! Can't wait to watch your minds being blown. I hope you've recovered by now. Peace!
Best stand-alone Instrumental track ever.
Hollywood & Smokey
Edgar here and late brother, Johnny Winter are as both of you see here, Albinos. Both of them born and raised in Texas. Because of lack of pigmentation in their skin, they were not able to go outdoors especially during Summers in Texas. They used their time indoors by learning and playing instruments to occupy their time. As they gotten older, Winter Brothers went on the road to play their music. Johnny Winter became 1st non-African American performer to be inducted into Blues Hall of Fame in 1988.
The Guitar Player on the right in all White was Rick Derringer, who had a hit of his own with "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo", a couple of years after this.
On that albulm Edgar plays on about half the tracks
Classic cruising music of the 70s. Cruising Telegraph outside Detroit, nothing was sweeter than all the cars tuned to the same rock station, cranked up to this song on a summer night. Glad you appreciate it. :)
You gotta check out their other popular song, Free Ride, as well as a song by the guitarist, Rick Derringer, called Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo.
Very gifted musicians The Winter Brothers !! This is 🔥🔥🔥!! Both parents were talented musicians!!
"If he grabs a guitar I'm losing it!" Johnny Winter was the world class guitar player of the family. You should also react to him!
If you want to hear him sing, watch the Winter Brothers Tobacco Road... his brother was the guitarist in the family... both Albanos
Definitely need to do " Tobacco Road" with him and his brother Johnny on guitar. Thanks for a great way to end my evening. Enjoy
Imagine two albino brothers (Johnny and Edgar Winters) growing up in freaking Texan. They probably didn’t go outside much. That’s a lot of natural talent and countless hours of practice.
This is one of the baddest jams in the land. Rock n Roll at its finest.
Had this Album in 1973 took it to school and played it at lunchtime and all the kids came out to listen to this record it was amazing! Those were the good ol days!
Shout out the the guitarist Rick Derringer!
You should definitely check "Rock n Roll Hoochie Koo" by him, along with Edgar
Great reaction my boys, greetings from Mexico :)
From down the road from me in Beaumont, TX. Deep southeast Texas dirtfloor blues is what these boys (Edgar and Johnny) grew up playing! 🔥🤘✌
Edgar and his brother are both from my area of Texas, they are in a local museum, called The Museum of the Gulf Coast
Take a hit from the bong and put on the headphones and fire this track up, you will enter another universe.
That thing was called a keytar once they were invented, ten years later in the 80s. What he's using is a heavy ass keyboard strapped to him.
He's as great on vocals as he is an instrumentalist. Check out "Tobacco Road". His brother Johnny was an amazing guitarist, and their band included Tommy Shannon on bass, who later went on to play bass for Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble.
Man this is reeeeaaalll close to being a live version that ends up being better than the studio track.✌️
THIS SONG WAS ALWAYS ON EVERY JUKEBOX IN MY AREA FIFTY YEARS AGO…!! GREAT REACTIONS GUYS 👏 N YES THAT WAS EDGAR WITH THE WHITE HAIR. N SURPRISE… HE HAS A TWEEN BROTHER JOHNNY, WHOS A GUITAR PLAYER IN A BAND… ROCK ON 👊🖖
What a talented group of musicians. Very entertaining.
That keyboard is hooked up to an early analog synthesizer. An ARP 2600 to be precise.
Great reaction! If you haven't heard of Edgar Winter or his brother Johnny Winter, you must be very young or have been living under a rock. ✌️❤
Edgar with the white hair😂he and his brother were albinos❤now imagine hearing this song for years with no visuals, no idea what they look like, only hearing on the radio😂😂❤❤ I didn't see this video until about 4 years ago😂😂
I was 14 in 1973 and my older brother put some headphones on me and cranked this song. Never forget it. And yes Edgar was the one with white hair.
Rush on crack!!! The best comment! LOL
I was blasting this album on my dad's hi fi stereo back in the day. Total classic.
Yaaaaaaasssss!!!
That was the best rendition of 'Frankenstein' I've ever seen/heard.
The guitarist is Rick Derringer (Rock and Roll Hotchie Coo - Rick Derringer Band and Hang On Sloopy - The McCoys) on bass was Dan Hartman. All of the musicians in the Edgar Winter Group were masters of their craft.
Great song and reaction! On a related note, check out "Rock n Roll Hoochie Koo" by Rick Derringer. He was the guitarist in this video.
Also the lead singer on "Hang on Sloopy" by the McCoys, and worked with tons of other artists over the years.
You nailed it when you said stitched together like Frankenstein. This song stitches together some great musicians with a concept and it really works. They are all having fun and just killing it on every instrument.
Edgar and Johnny Winter. Albino rock and blues gods!
Go in hard. You'll never regret it!
I was very lucky to see them in a small nightclub do this song and the other parts of The Edgar Winter group in greenwood lake, New York. That was practically the loudest and actually ear piercing in a small club
Chuck Ruff, the drummer, always reminded me of Animal from the Muppets, both because he's a beast (saying this with great admiration) and he has cool hair for the job. Jokes apart, this was a lot of fun to watch you react to this one when I understood you did not know who they were or the song. Since Smokey is into blues, you definitely have to give their rendition of 'Tobacco Road' a listen, where you can hear Edgar singing and see his brother play guitar. Johnny Winter, Edgar's brother, is a blues guitarist legend. Many commentors have mentioned him already. Give him a listen (he sings too.)
I can see the comparison. Rumor has it that Jim Henson modeled Animal after Mick Fleetwood.
@@donjackson5522 I didn’t know that but kinda makes sense too lol
@@donjackson5522 I always heard it was Keith Moon.
Nothing else out there like this. One of a kind, genious, brilliant......can't touch it!
Wanna see you guys react to Tobacco Road (Edgar & Johnny together) & 🤗 some Rick Derringer. 🤔 Everyone these guys played with also played in their own bands or with other exceptional musicians at the time. 😄 Shout out to AM radio which played everything, including Frankenstein! Plus they appeared on a lot of TV shows. 😒 Not sure but I saw them either on Midnight Special or Don Kirshners Rock Concert. 😂 And maybe Soul Train. Glad I got to see them live later. 🥰🐰
The exact right reaction to this tour de force!! A standing O is also deserved!! ☮️❤️
Edgar is in his 70s, legally blind, and currently out on tour with Ringo Starr. Legendary. He also played sax on Tina Turner's "Simply the Best".
The studio version in headphones is a dream. Without headphones, I used to shake pictures off the wall when I was a kid. Ah, to be young again!
Edger Winter was an Albino and that was the name of his band,back in the late 60's or early 70's
Edgar wrote this to showcase his abilities. Assembled from pieces just like Frankenstein. I saw them live in '75 Aerosmith opened. Killer show ! Rick Derringer on guitar. He was the first dude I saw who played guitar with his teeth.
What an amazing version of this song! Great choice and reaction!!!!!!
You dudes will be blown away by this performance !!! Also, you will be so amazed that you may miss the fact that there are zero vocals!
There are two Edgar Winter songs you’d probably recognize if you heard them: Free Ride & Dying To Live.
There’s a live video of Edgar and his brother Johnny playing Tobacco Road that will blow your socks clean off. And as a bonus, it features a young Tommy Shannon on bass (who went on to play in Double Trouble with SRV).
I’d love to see you react to that performance of Tobacco Road and a the studio version of Dying To Live.
We loved this in the hood back in the day.
The Guitarist here you probably heard before...
Rick Derringer and his big hit Rock n Roll Hoochie Coo.
Try "Free Ride" by Edgar Winter Group. Yes that was Edgar. He and his brother Johnny Winter (not in this band) are albinos. They grew up in Texas and couldn't go outside to play. So they taught themselves to play every instrument they could get their hands on. By the way that guitarist in the white was Rick Derringer who made his own fame. "Frankenstein" developed from a mishmash of riffs and runs and bits and pieces of songs that were never used. Hence the name. You should also watch one he did with his brother called "Tobacco Road".
edgar winter.....brother of blues guitar virtuoso Johnny Winter......and the dude can sing!! check out Tobacco Road... features both winter brothers with edgar singing AND on bass guitar...a young Tommy Shannon, bass player for SRV and double trouble
Remember hearing this on the radio and it blew my mind and as a kid I knew what direction I wanted to follow musically, thanks guys
Yeah, Edgar Winter is a beast, period. Loved your reaction, guys!!!
Edgar does also sing. His brother Johnny was a legendary guitar player. Check out Tobacco Road.
