Today, was the first time I heard Frankenstein. My mind is totally blown. This is approximately the coolest thing I have ever heard.
When music was real.
I heard this blasting from record store speakers and fell in love 😍.
multi talent edgar winter😄 i heard this already 40 + years ago
I distinctly remember the first time I heard this. The year was 1974 and I was in 6th grade. A huge roller skating rink with a state of the art sound system had just opened and I had the whole place to myself. Problem is I could barely skate. Sure enough the speakers began to blast this along with strobe lights during the drum solos and synth filter oscillation near the end. My senses were completely overwhelmed so I just fell on the floor to admire the coolest thing I had ever heard in my life !
@@johnmarino4360 I was 4th grade! What struck me most, was the timbales/latin drums, "duking it out" with the "western" drums....now, all these years latert, I have my own LP set, inspired by "Frankenstein" all those years (decades!) ago....
Tour manager: "there's no way you'll pull this off live"
Edgar Winter: hold my keyboard, sax, drums, beer
kkk
you forgot cocaine, weed, acid and pcp...
Fn awesome comment 🤣🤣🤣👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼
The guitar player is Ronnie Montrose of Montrose,Frank Zappa ,(zoot allures ),and The Red Rocker ,Sammy Hagar ……!!!!!

Rick Derringer
There's something so funny to me about the other three band members doing their thing, jamming out, and then Edgar just running around the stage grabbing different instruments to play. Absolute madman.
That’s not a bad description, actually! 😂😂. He has mad skills too!
A very composed madman., he doesn't miss a beat amazing
Dan Hartman on bass and Rick Derringer on guitar... no slouches themselves
Awesome performance
His brother is a bit of a genius to
I saw this group live in the mid-1970s. On this cut while EW was dancing around the stage, he got so Fucked Up, he had to stop and start again. The crowd went wild!
I heard Edgar also worked the concession stand for a few minutes during this performance.
😂😂😂
I heard he made all the bands outfits and did their hair. :)
LOL and parked cars as well. After watching this, I'd believe he did everything
@King Rottennoggin if you want it done right ya gotta do it yourself
that rules hard
As a kid I waited for hours and hours for this to play on the radio so I could record it with my cheap ass tape recorder. Worth every second.
.....the good ole days. Working that pause button like a NASA engineer..
I remember those days well!
I think we all did only I liked it with the spaceship sound but this was cool too. :)
Hey I used to do that too!
I did the same thing. Too cheap to buy a 45 man I'm old ☮️ .
72 years young and I still get a rush every time I hear this! Geezers in my age group know for a fact we had the best music of all time!
I'm and have to agree with you!
The best pants too. R.I.P. bell bottoms 1968 - 1982
you lucky bastards
I am 66 & saw them live in the mid-70s. As guest to ELP.
Lady Geezerette here ~ total agreement!!! Saw them do this in a tiny venue in Boston around 1972 from 10 feet away. My ears are still ringing!! ❤️✌️
I love it how Edgar and Chuck are so in tune with each other on their drums that they just naturally anticipate what the other will do next. It’s seems so effortless for them to have that level of communication.
The interplay they did was totally awesome.
Oh yeah they’re locked in , and Edgar doesn’t try to take the spotlight, he’s in full on support mode on fucking timpanis , IN A ROCK AND ROLL BAND ! The first and likely the only time timpani’s have ever been part of a rock show other than any other time this band did it lol
@@steveobro49 Timpanis? Where you see any timpani? Those are timbales
I guess the timpani were used by Queen
that's a true musical ear and perfect timing - musical geniuses , naturally gifted
Fun fact: Edgar was also the camera man.
Haha!
Best comment ever
And simultaneously sold peanuts to audience members . . .
He also cut everyone's hair while playing chess and making ice cream for the roadies. 😋
...and Scientologist.
Music teacher to young Edgar: "What instrument do you want to learn to play?" Young Edgar: "How many do ya got?"
Exactly
Or "All of them."
Which instrument would you like edgar ? Keyboard? Saxophone? Drums?
Edgar: Yes
Hold my beer ,,Ed will show you
😎 amazing
The most spectacular rock performance ever. End of story. Period.
Get outta town. Nothing but unashamed showmanship!
@@Katehowe3010 ... Huh. Typical ABBA junkie.
It's tied with The Vanilla Fudge on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1968 ... ua-cam.com/video/3dJO47d26kc/v-deo.html
You have to remember the time period. This was on "primetime, mainline, white bread TV". It is a Supremes hit song that the Fudge psychedelicsized. I got a contact high from this as a teen in '68.
hardly 🤣
I agree. This is my go to song.
Edgar! Keith Emerson! These were my guys! I was 20. Now I'm 70. They're STILL my freekin guys!!! 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹✌️✌️✌️🥰🥰🥰
Same here! 72. Also Robin Trower. 🤘🤘
@@ManyfiresWoman Rick Derringer
These were some of the best years in music. I was 11 years old when Frankenstein came out. Great song!!
"The reason Johnny and Edgar stopped playing music together is because they started to cause a vortex of riffdom that theatened to destroy the planet everytime they got together" - Professor X
The Velo In The Vale
The Velo In The Vale line ear event
A sad but necessary sacrifice
Alas how bittersweet.
which x men movie is that from
I believe this.
This is one of my favorite Karaoke songs of all time. Nobody can mess up the lyrics or sing off key.
Lol, we are playing this in our band and I like to say that I am singing on it
Actually, there's a version of this song that has a verse that sounds like yodeling.
If I remember correctly.
Someone could attempt a bagpipe solo in their cover. ;3
@@mikehall3489 Correct me if I'm wrong, I believe the the song you are thinking of, is called "Hocus Pocus" by FOCUS🌝🎵
Ur silly! But I do LOVE IT!
I turned my 2year old grandson on to this video, he is absolutely mesmerized every time we watch it.
Sounds like you just guaranteed that you’ll raise a grandson with excellent musical taste.
Edgar Winter: keys, alto sax, percussions
Rick Derringer: guitars
Dan Hartman: bass; also a great guitarist and had a huge disco hit, "instant replay"
Chuck Ruff: drums (R.I.P.)
Saw this lineup live and was blown away!
"I can Dream about you" Dan Hartman? They look similar, that's an awesome bit of information, thank you!
@@matterpimp3146 yes, same guy! Hartman wrote "Free Ride" for EWG too. He had a lot of great songs :)
Dan Hartman fronted a local band from Harrisburg PA called the Legend back around 1969. The guy was an amazing guitar player and singer, really killed it on Good Times, Bad Times. Never missed a show at the Railroad House in Marietta when they were there. "Good Times". 👍
EDIT: How good was this guy? When do you see a bass player playing lead?
What happened with Ronnie Montrose? He was on that album, They Only Come Out At Night.
@@ronlemons5316 he went on to form his own band. He released a few “Montrose” solo albums too.
"so what instruments do you play?" "yes"
Good answer! *clap, clap, clap* "Let me see, "yes"! *ding* Number one answer! Play or pass?
magnumtrooper17 That's Awesome! "What instruments...." "Yes." Too Funny!
I play the pussy lips cuz bitches be spreading they legs after hearing a jam like that
lol
Survey says.... YES!
Okay, so it's 2023. We saw Edgar Winter play with Ringo Starr a few months ago. Edgar was one of Ringo's All-Stars. Our 21 yr old son went with us....his mind was blown that he heard this LIVE! He's a classic rock kid. Absolutely fantastic 👏 He still was fully jamming like it was 1973!!
That's awesome to know!
What a monster! All over the stage, all the instruments, the synth effects, first guy to hang a synth keyboard around his neck with a guitar strap... just WOW!!!
And it looks HEAVY!
That must have been such a pain afterwards...
You can hear the pitch change as he moves the keyboard around. The frequency shift is probably due to the reverb springs moving.
@@craigkopcho7394 There is a pitch bend control on keyboards. There are no mechanical reverb springs in a synth keyboard.
@saxmusicmail how much you think that keyboard weighed in at. What, 20 or 25 lbs.
this could not be accomplished without long hair!
@@julioalbertoherrera1339 ha let me just get the powder and paint to add maximum effect lol
Albino white long hair.
And bell bottoms!
And he still has it!
Facts
Every Musician on that stage was a freaking genius at their craft.
'S
How bout it. Dan Hartman is so underrated.
Considering the age of the synthesizer, was dawning, using analog technology was amazing to accomplish. Moog knew what was coming, Edgar achieved and propelled it forward light speed
CRAFT. something these kids don’t know nothing about.
Rick Derringer was a beast.
At age 59 here in 2023, I consider myself so blessed that I'm old enough to have enjoyed this incredible musicianship when it was first released, and how well it has stood the test of time.
Those of my generation were fortunate to experience the absolute best period of music-the mid 1950s through the very early 1990s...everything from rockabilly (Eddie Cochran, Link Wray) to the British Invasion (Beatles/The Kinks/Rolling Stones) to early hard rock/metal (Jimi, Cream) to prog rock (ELP, Yes, Jethro Tull, early Genesis) to mainstream hard rock (AC/DC, Van Halen, Def Leppard) to Southern rock (Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker) to electric blues (Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jeff Healey) to hair metal (Whitesnake, Warrant, Ratt), and so on.
We were also gifted with phenomenal musicians like James Taylor, David Bowie, Carole King, Peter Frampton, and countless others...to paraphrase a famous line from "The Blues Brothers", "Y'know so much of the music we hear today is pre-programmed electronic trash, we never get a chance to hear master musicians practicing their craft anymore"...truer words were never more applicable to the garbage that's been thrown at us for the past 25 years...for example, consider the disgusting, talent-less junk that is modern hip-hop, and put that next to Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner"...in 2 minutes and 6 seconds, she paints an accurate, vivid picture of modern life-no AutoTune, no filler, no gross "lyrics".
It's truly sad that 99.9% of the stuff passing as modern music these days will not have the same staying power 50 years from now.
You were 8 when this was released
You are correct sir!
Today's music sucks.
Where is Zappa in that lineup? Specially since his music goes through every genre possible, including jamming instrumental songs like this one.
@@Miguel...160 I'm just a year older than he is, and I remember hearing the single on the radio all the time. It hit #1 in May 1973. I don't know how old you are, but in the 70's, there was always a radio on, especially riding around in the car. When I was in summer camp, the counselor's transistor radio was playing at least 5 hours a day when we were in the cabin.
I know the words to almost every top 40 song from the 1970's.
I saw them live in 1973 and I have to say that it was probably the best live show I saw in the 1970's. The Edgar Winter Group's musicianship was astounding.
Rick Derringer is so underrated, he deserves a better place in the rock universe.
He is great here, though. Awesome guitarist!
Derringer is forever in my book one of the fastest and coolest guitarists ever!
@@markbiedermann7467---He was great, & quite underrated. I saw Derringer in concert too. At 16-years-old, in Dallas. I have all the ticket-stubs from the concerts I saw. Wish I could sell them.
The Winter brothers, & Stevie Ray Vaughn were all from Texas too.
@@davidbell7005 yeah!
I was 10 in '73. My Mother yelled, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THAT RADIO?
I believe that.
To funny!
Same here.
Still playing music so loud that the cops show up!
lol
@@douglasstrother6584 my neighbor called the cops and they arrested him for lack of rocking in what the city clearly zoned as a rock only neighborhood.
This song came out in my childhood. I still find myself hoping that guitarist found the man of his dreams, all these years later ...
The 70s were our peak, creatively, humanely ...
Look at us now ...😢
I just saw Ringo and His All Starr Band last month and Edgar played this and was super energetic jumping around the stage
Same here two weeks ago I hope I have half his energy when I'm 75.
I’ve played with Edgar at a beach club in Buffalo NY about 20 years or so ago and he is every bit of crazy talented as anyone out there. He plays every instrument out there like a true virtuoso. He was playing a gig next door to us and came over to watch us then just jumped right in and never missed a beat. He is the master of all trades and second to none.
Well he’s purged all the engrams and is fully clear.
What an awesome experience that must have been!
I have always been a fan of Edgar and Johnny Winter ♥ Truly excellent musians
Hey Mary, i know both Johnny & Edgar too. Cause i was good friends of JimmySmith and went to Studio jams & rehearsals with him a few times. Anyway, both Johnny & Edgar were actual genius' and did you know that "Mr.GreenJeans" of CaptKangaroo morning show was actually Johnny & Edgar's father??
@@UltimateForceMarketing A long-running but incorrect rumor claims Brannum was the father of musician Frank Zappa, apparently because of a Zappa composition titled "Son of Mr. Green Genes" on his 1969 album, Hot Rats.
Everyone: "How many instruments do you play?!"
Edgar: "Yes."
Hello from Australia those where the times of real lyrics and music
Edgar was a real guy as his answer.
All the instruments. Lol
same response was given about Geddy Lee, appropriately
ghaAAAAAAY
This performance just drops my jaw every time. Possibly the greatest rock instrumental ever. The main hook is simple and catchy, the b section with the sax is gorgeous then he dazzles you with breathtaking skill at everything he touches. Who the hell is THIS good at THIS MANY instruments??? Not many.
Must have been so much fun being apart of this band. They all look so enthralled with what they’re doing, and they’re just smiling away at each other.
I saw Edgar Winter at Berkeley Community in 1974. Towards the end of the show… Johnny Winter runs on stage 🤩! It was like no other show stopper. Rick Derringer and Johnny dueled it out! Life was good!
Edgar also drove the equipment truck there, setup all the stuff, tore it down, and drove it back. They had a catering table there too, and yep, Edgar cooked all the food and set it up. I love this extra long version. So damn good.
😂😂😂
Went to an outside concert in Oklahoma, was raining and lightning cracking all around, after Robin Trower played, many left thinking the show was over, then out came Edgar Winter and the show had just begun, he said if we were brave enough to stay, then he would play, then FRANKENSTEIN with lightning flashing all around...Wife and I will NEVER forget the incredible show they put on for us....ONE OF A KIND MUSICIAN!
Tom Hutson I bet y’all were fk up . I was high as hell
Aw man that sounds spectacular
OMG!! How perfect was that moment in your life?!!
When I saw this, I thought of Robin Trower. Interesting synergy there.
Wow!!
Just saw him with Ringo Star, at 75 years of age he still has it, still plays and sounds awesome a real treat to watch, I can only hope I have his energy at 75.
It was music like this that made me wanna play drums. Edgar Winter, Cream, Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Montrose, Thin Lizzy, Sabbath, Grand Funk…….. the list goes on and on and on and on.
This is when talent ruled the music scene.
So true
I remember this song on the radio when I was a kid... It was epic then and still is! Recently shared this video with a teenager friend just learning music. I thought it would help form some inspiration since it's so authentic. Hopefully the kid will dig it and jam out to it instead of that Katy Perry crap the kids listen to these days!! ( sorry Katy😑, I do like that "Last Friday night " song tho) . Rock song Frankenstein will be forever original and a Classic example of profound musicianship.
YES ME TOO! started playing in 6th grade because this song was on 77 WABC AM in NY
Edgar and his late brother Johnny are stone cold geniuses... I love them both!
Amen! saw Johnny live soo good. Love the blues
Not to .mention Rick derringer
Dam straight bro they amazed me when I was 10 and everyone was listening to zeppelin and van halen.
@@randquadrozzi5850 Van Halen suxs.
This was a badass song when I heard it for the first time in 1973, still today it makes me smile when I hear it, thanks Edgar.
Bahaha, a badass song says the guy with Gene as a thumb nail,, too funny!!
I was fortunate , when I lived in California 1980 near San Jose I got to spend a week with Johnny Winter and his Band from Santa Cruz to San Francisco. Talking with him was like talking to an old friend. RIP Johnny
"They Only Come Out at Night" is one of my favorite albums. And, I just love this video. It's a classic performance of Frankenstein...😮
This is live, kids. To be able to replicate something live, that you created in the studio after hours upon hours of trying to get just so, is utterly amazing.
Yep. No overdubs, no multi-tracks. Just kicking freaking ass all over the stage.
That is Exactly what I'm talk'n 'bout.
Live Beatle clips are just the same. There's a 26 (?) minute live clip on You Tube. I think it's in Sweden.
These players were so on track.
They LOVED to play. Probably did 3-5 hours a day in "rehearsals"
@@swesttttt no pre-sets on the synth either. you had to build up the sound every show. set your high and low spots on the filters etc. to make it repeatable. this stuff would take over your life if you didn't have a great tech to help.
Step aside and let the pros show you how it’s done.
It got its title because of the arduous editing that went into the song; it became a monster when it was pieced together in the studio. Said Winter: "When we were editing it in the studio, back in those days when you edited something, you physically had to cut the tape and splice it back together, so it was all over the control room, draped over the backs of chairs and the couch. We were making fun of it, trying to figure out how to put it back together, saying 'Here's the main body; the leg bone's connected to the thigh bone...' Then Chuck Ruff, my drummer, says, 'Wow, man, it's like Frankenstein.' As soon as I heard that, I went, 'Wow, that's it!' The monster was born."
This if fucking INSANE. The level of talent is just w t f
It was very short lived but they all had good solo careers also
Hell yeeess shit as said was 10 when came out shit was amazing I'm rocking to this while girls my age playing with Barbie Dolls go figure lol
What you said...
@@kimmimiller7888 Kimmie I liked this and barbie dolls . Rock on.
@@VIDSTORAGE it wasn't short-lived. The Winter brothers and Derringer are eternal..
Still gives me the chills every time I hear it! Fantastic 😊
Edgar making synth noise with a cape is my spirit animal
My grandma' whent to school with the winter brothers in the 50s
The Winter brothers and I went to different schools together also.
Oh thats cool and sweet. Their music is brilliant and timeless.
Had a contractor friend/ part Cherokee flutist, later in Atlanta, that went to high school in Beaumont with the Winters.
Cool
Fun fact: Edgar was also the bus driver, the teacher and the school principal.
This is the correct amount of rock and roll.
+timberrecycling One could ask for more, but then one is not sure you can better this song as I would give it a 10/10 and refuse to debate that score with anyone. If you don't hear genius in this song, go back to Kayne, or stick to your classical music ( no knock against classical music, only against people who may think it's somehow more noble than rock.)
I don't get the Kanye thing, I don't see even a glimmer of anything "genius" about his, well for the lack of a better term, "music". I do know he is the biggest douchebag on the planet , that much I'll give him.
wtglb haha well he is responsible for the production of the greatest hiphop album ever made (Reasonable Doubt) so yea. there is that...
Jayz's Reasonable Doubt...greatest hiphop??? That is an insult to groups such as: Nas with Illmatic, Wu Tang's Enter the Wu Tang, TuPac and Me Against the World, Beastie boys, The Notorious B.I.G. and so on.
Jayz isn't even worth trying to say top 10 and West is a bitch-punk whose 'watch me act like little girl' routine is the only thing keeping him fresh..
Yea bro cuz hating on shit and comparing your own taste and opinion over facts? I aint here for no salty argument but the basis is RD was a baseline for a whole SWATHE of artists after it. Wutang are the greatest. RZA took samples and went in heavy and produced a fantastic sound. After this Kanye did the same but even heavier with samples instead using them and his voice to layer tracks. Dnt jus reel off some albums and think you're right because we both are and both are not....
Legend has it that the band is still playing this song, and has been continuously since 1973. 🎹 🎸 🥁 🎷
UA-cam just had to cut it off after 9 minutes and 18 seconds because…well, I don’t know why. 🤷🏻♂️🤪🤣
Much more respect knowing Winters was playing multiple instruments during that time. What a revelation, I never knew until now. He was all over the place acting as three musicians by himself. Wow, that really blows my mind, I can’t give him enough credit for that. Thanks for sharing this video a real eye opener for me. I always love and enjoy this song but to now realize the secret to their madness watching this video is priceless.
Truth Indeed AMEN 🙏 Greatness that, unfortunately, we will not see again.
*Winter
There were only a few television shows that dared to allow a group to perform live, and then show it in it's entirety. This is one those amazing moments in television. And, yes, the Edgar Winter Group was AMAZING!
F ing Yea!!
Blew some Limey minds, eh?😉
what show was this on? 9 min?? i doubt it.
@@weddingguy3271 old grey whistle test. British shows are different that way..
I never realized that Edgar Winter was such an amazing musician. I'm in awe of what he did in 1973.
Check out journey to the center of the earth----🎶🎶Geniuses!
Wtf this is rock at its finest kids not this crap today
Glad I can say that I'm old enough now to have been able to enjoy it then, when it first came out!! Now: 10/31/2023 Then: May 1973. !! ✌♥️
Never saw this live til now, had no idea Edgar Winter was such a multi-instrumental virtuoso !! Blown away !!! Wow just Wow !!!
I should be ashamed of myself...I'm 56 years old and this is the FIRST TIME I have seen this! This is freakin' GOLD.
I've posted it several times myself. Whsts smazing id its all Genious. They cteated all of this with the technology available at the Time.
Well, "Old Grey Whistle Test" was a British TV show, so you may not have seen this performance when it aired.
I got a toy guitar that had some songs on it, this was on it and became my favorite. Then my dad showed me the actual song
Don't worry my friend as they say better late than never
Paul Sarna I was lucky that this song was a used in our local radio station between programs or pauses, it took me 30 years to find out what song it actually is !!! We’re in the same boat here ...
Was about 6 years old back in the early 70s when my older sister took me to the town square to our local record store. The clerk was getting a 45 out of a file cabinet for my sister when I recognized the word “Frankenstein” being a horror fan as most little boys were. Thought it was one of those audio/story records and nagged her to buy it for me. Been a rock fan ever since
I was 12 years old with my portable record player and a stack of 45's I took with me almost everywhere I went. For the guys I would play this, Doobie Bros, Elton John, Golden Earing, etc... For my girlfriend I spun Donny Osmond, Tommy Roe, Jackson 5, and The Stylistics singing You Make Me Feel Brand New on the porch swing with my arm around her. This music takes me back in a real way.
77 yrs old, and remember riding in the back of a pick up listening to Frankenstein! Always loved Edgar Winter Group!
Edgar: "Roadie, fetch me my keytar!"
Roadie: "Those won't be invented for another 10 years, sir!"
Edgar: "Then I'll invent it myself!"
No shit, man!
And, that’s exactly what he did. This was the first time a keyboard was worn. Dan Hartman was with Ronnie Montrose and lots of studio work and Derringer started with The McCoys and is still touring with Ringo.
@@TheMUSICHEART Accordian players had been doing it for years.
@@robertstallard7836 thats how weird al started out.
No those already existed by this time heck tangerine dream played one as early as 1970
I'm 62 this year. This performance takes me back to my youth, when me and my running buddies would all pitch in for gas money so we could pile into one of our cars and and just cruise...listening to Edgar Winter, Johnny Winter, Zeppelin, etc...no cell phones, no internet, just buds hanging out, smoking a little weed, laughing, talking about girls, cars, loving music and loving life. Jesus, what a great time that was.
I'm 63 and I might have been with you. Great times.
@@Hopegirls4 Smiles! You were, my Brother...
62 and you just brought me right back to those days sir..Bravo!
I’m 70.....I was and I’m still a music maniac! Brings back some great memories. Still have all my vinyl and still listen to them. Had a 8-track player in my 67 Chevelle, never turned the music off. Great video....first time seeing this! Great!!!
Yeah the good ole days...gas was 22 cents a gallon , a pack of marlboro red was 50 cents and you could go to a 6 band concert for example same-day show 15 bucks got you marshall tucker doobie bros, heart, cheap trick , pat travers and headlining was journey! Northern california's mountainair concerts were the best or day on the green in oakland or in san fran...long time ago. It didn't get much better than that
I saw it on broadcast...classic! 50 years OMG
I was 23 when this came out & after 50 years it hasn't lost one second of it's hypnotic & musical magic... bravo👏
Tic TOC! Tic TOC,!
@@KennethDawson-zv8rn 11 o'clock tick tock. U2 @ RedRox
Jesus. What a performance. Back from an era when artists played their instruments. Outstanding.
people still play instruments
One finger does it all instruments 80% of the time today.
Hell sometimes people are standing in a stadium listening to one guy playing music on his laptop. That would have been an SNL skit back in this era.
Oh no, where did all the bands go? There aren't and rock groups playing bars every weekend? The Rolling Stones aren't STILL on tour? C'mon, just because there are other new genres out there that are different doesn't mean everything you love isn't still there... most of the bands from this era have put out an album this decade. With today's music you don't even have to get with the times... all the old acts are still playing, there's new rock bands popping up every week AND there are new and different styles of music. Why does it only have to be the stuff you want? Its funny how the once rebellious generation that eschewed their parents music have become their parent and can't understand the music of today. Stop sounding old and bitter and just listen to what makes you happy!
+James Siegel couldn't have said it better myself.
Both Edgar and Johnny were such incredibly talented musicians.
RIP Johnny.
Wow absolutly fantastic,so glad i grew up with such great music,unlike today,it all gave me my calling card go be a musician,thank you the 60"s and 70""s for all the great music,
Those were the days my friend we thought they'd never end! PEACE
Edgar also catered the party after, ran security, booked the tour and drove all the trucks at once on the tour. He had a strong everything game
I just saw Edgar perform this tonight at a casino near me. If he’s tired of playing that song after 50 years it doesn’t show.
wow. Always loved this tune but had no idea how insanely talented Edgar Winter is, amazing performance.
MIND-BLOWING PERFECTION!🤯THEY DON'T DO IT LIKE THIS ANYMORE💕👍🏽
Wow, he can play all those instruments and all I can play is the radio.
Lol
But without people like you, he couldn't have a career doing this.
only instrument todays generation knows how to play is the organ!
@@johngilles9371 Really !?🤷
I thought it was games on their phone honestly 🤣😜
It's NEVER too late to start playing any instruments !!!!
I started playing guitar for the first time ever about 5 years ago and within 2 years I was playing in a kick ass, paying cover band and had tons of great shows !
If I can do it with no prior musical history other than listening and loving music, you can too !
Oh and if you think your age is an issue don't because I'm over 30 years old so even at what ever age you are there is a better chance than not you can learn to play an instrument !
This is probably the best Rock instrumental ever made
Second only to Hocus pocus by Focus.
Pete Townsend is a little jealous.
Still an all time favorite i was only ten years old at this time now that is music that stands the test of time thank you
Edgar is truly a wizard. I mean he is TRULY a real wizard. Just watch! Ungodly talented!
Happy birthday Dan Hartman.
December 8 1950. RIP
Ten years before my own birthday. This is longer live version., the originsal was even longer, nd they cut u it uo,
i freakin love him and would have LOVED to have met him...look at this energy!!!!!
Chuck Ruff was a excellent drummer. The guy could flat out play, Just Wow!!!!! Perfection!!!!!
I couldn't stop watching him. Perfect.
dam straight, listen to the accents on that snare drum
And he was spot-on with the bulb horn! The only place this song lacked was that it needed a little more cowbell.....
Absolutely. Reminds me a lot of Mitch Mitchell’s style
thanks, i was just wondering who that was .......he is excellent.
WTF…OMG this has to be seen again and again…heard this so many times but forget it’s a four man band and Winters is just killing it… he is the mad scientist!!!
Thus the name of the song.... "Frankenstein".
Fantastic! I remember seeing this as a young 'un when it was shown on the Old Grey Whistle Test late one evening in the UK. And it's still exciting. Classic 70s rock stylings by milking the last drops out of the ending too.
Of course, this is back when UK TV had three channels - BBC1, BBC2 and ITV - and closed around midnight, ending every night with the National Anthem (hard to believe but true). The whole country would stand to attention in their living rooms and salute (not true).
Thanks so much for your time and work on this video. Nine minutes of sweet pleasure, thoroughly enjoyed.
Ha at salute
Edgar said he learned to play lots of instruments because he was an albino that lived in Texas and couldn't go outside much in the sun..
Couldn't go out much mostly from fear of being trophy hunted
.....not if you can play like THIS - then albino coloration becomes something cool n' scary to put on album covers. Like "They Only Come Out at Night" !
The drummer...why is it that all of the Musicians in a band don't get the Reognition They Deserve?
@@emiliaabeyta159 That's why I hate the "Named After One Guy" band names. Nobody remembers the Jimi Hendrix Experience drummer - but they should because that guy was wicked. The names inherently detract from the rest of the band.
@@fuzzydunlop7928 You have a point there. I've listened to this song literally a million times but I've never seen this video. For instance, I couldn't tell from watching it whether Rick Derringer or Dan Hartman or Ronnie Montrose are shown, even though they were stars in their own right.
Everyone knows rock & roll attained perfection in 1973. It’s a scientific fact
Yeah Homer!
It did tho .. most of the music I love comes from 73. I was 9 and 9 year old me had very bloody good taste in music!
It did in the early 70s then a slow decline after
@Catnip Meow yes, but that was irony. Cause 74 was not a year with great releases, while between 71 and 73, the great bands of the moment released their best albums...
Second base mobile.
Edgar Winters was one of favorites! 🙂
*Winter
Magic!! Time gone by! Some of us have not forgotten!! Great!!!
You know what I see in this that I don’t see in modern music: people having fun and having talent.
Yes and being original :)
Don’t blame « modern music », you’re just too lazy to find out where the good music is. There’s plenty of amazing musicians out there, keeping music fresh and exciting. Search for it instead of complaining
@@jeanquick1229 I suppose you loved the SB half time show then too didn't you. :P That is the crap that is forced on everyone nowadays. Yes there is still talent out there but the Music industry does not want to showcase talent anymore. Just more auto tuned crap. Just No talented showy dancers and a loop with an auto tuned vocal that is boring.
@@JosEPh-zy3yr Music was and is still a business. Medias show us what sells, and what sells now is not jazz or rock or soul anymore. I wouldn’t say that it’s crap because it doesn’t fits high or elitists standards in term of music composition, that is snobbery. Music is not only art, it’s also entertainment so if it gives joy to million of people to listen to The Weeknd or David Guetta, I’m fine with it. Maybe tomorrow it will be with something less marketed or more complex, each time comes with its particularities and feed in a way or the other what will come next. So, in the meantime, you can either say « medias are just broadcasting crap there’s no good music anymore » and go back to your jazz fusion vinyls collection, or you can also try to be curious and don’t wait for anyone to feed you with good music. We live in the most amazing time when it comes to music discovery. Music production can be made at home for nothing, you can learn an instrument on UA-cam and share your music on a daily basis on Spotify or SoundCloud. When Edgar Winter was in his prime, that was a privilege to learn, record and share music. There’s more amazing stuff coming out now than ever before, and the tools to find it (and enjoy it for litteraly nothing) fits in your pocket. So yeah, mass media broadcast mass music, which is not the same than 40 years ago. But fuck, it’s much more fun now for us music enthusiasts ! (sorry for the book I just wrote :D)
@@jeanquick1229 Yeah..his generalization remains 100% intact.
I nearly cried when he started playing the sax. That tone is so damn good.
The only instrumental to ever make number one on any charts ever
And the timbales. You have to love multi-instrumentalists.
true talent will do that.
I thought the tone sounded like a tenor, which I prefer to the alto in solos.
As if harnessing the power of that synth and the bazillion different tones and oscillations available wasn't impressive enough! He kills it on the sax as well.
Watched this originally on the Old Grey Whistle Test. Still totally stunning. This is pure talent
Who needs Words..... when you have a Super Cool "Jam Session " like this ??!!👍🎸😎
It's hilarious, he got tired of playing all of his instruments and decided to play the amp.
What?
@@nigelsflyingpig9300 i think they mistaking the arp synthsizer for an amp.
@@0tf850 it's possible
That’s a synth
@@0tf850 Ah shit, yeah, it is.
The really good part starts at 0:00 and ends at 9:18.
Ok
Right on bro 👊😎🎸
Lol……
You've got 69 likes, I can't put like, it's perfect as it is
Thanks!
1977 Lo vi en vivo en concierto aquí en el Coliseum de Houston ( ya no existe este lugar ) Edgar orgullosamente Texano.
Watching this in 1973 must have been mind blowing. They’re using actual circuits like old school techno producers making that space tech sound. Amazing performance!
Yep, I saw the "They Only Come Out at Night" tour back about then. I also saw Rick Derringer's band and Dan Hartman on the Montrose first album tour... good times.
Check out the rest of The Old Grey Whistle Test archives. Fantastic bare studio recordings.
'Chuck Ruff' was without a shadow of a doubt one of the finest drummers ever to pick up a pair of sticks. R.I.P.
LMA UK ...amen to that. Spot on and lightning fast
R.I.P Dan Hartman, too.
Indeed !
I miss my friend and brother ..... Chuck was the real deal
No disrespect to your buddy but if you haven't seen/heard Donnie/Don Brewer (Grand Funk Railroad) T.N.U.C. "LIVE", then you should check him out.
I was 9 in 1973, and I remember rocking out to this song and asking my mom to buy the album for me. I showed it to her, she made some shocked expression and flatly said, "No."
That was a different time! I heard plenty of "No," but I survived. And my love of rock and roll did too!
Parents today need to act like parents instead of playing the role of buddy and pal.
Fucking amazing, how a band can play almost 10 minutes and everybody know what everybody else is doing to make it work!
Many years ago I worked as a painter for the Physical Plant of a university. I was the new guy on the crew and so was given the job of painting the interior of the morgue and anatomy lab because no one else wanted it. I was alone in the place. To force myself to get over the creeps I turned on the local classic rock station and then started to unzip a body bag on a gurney to make myself look at a cadaver. Just then this came on the radio. Made my day.
Wait, did it come alive and y'all rockd out?😉😎
Hey, I remember you. You were wearing jeans and a blue t shirt.... I was the cadaver. Ned (the cadaver)
I was a kid in elementary school in Beech Grove Indiana and the p.a. announced that we were all to go to the gym.
These guys were set up and played Frankenstein for us!
I was a music buff already but that pushed it over the edge.
I have never gotten tiered of playing music.
Thank you Edgar Winter Band.
It was very thoughtful and generous to give that time and effort to our elementary school.
Freakin elementary school?!!! That's one cool principal :)
Your principal had joints in his desk drawer rolled by the janitor.
That’s the coolest thing I ever heard
I bet the entire student body jammed the gymnasium that day! Cool 😎 school and cool 😎 kiddos. The school 🏫 house of readin', writtin' rithmetic, and rock🪨roll. 🎸
Edgar, the musician who ccan play anything effortlessly and an amazing band including Rick Derringer. A truly unique creation (musically)
Amazing! Still wows me all these years later....
I literally cried because I find that much talent so beautiful.
As it shoulf be.
Me too!!
Talent, yes. Surely hours and hours of practice as well.
3:40 "Finally, we're back in the driving seat!"
Edgar: "I shall now challenge the drummer"
SE ADELANTO EN SU EPOCA, QUE ROLON🤘😎
Aqui no brasil não estão acostumados a ouvir espetáculos como esse. sensacional !!!
Verdade, também o povo só ouvi porcaria
Tic TOC! Tic TOC!
Yes, ...es muy Grande
I literally cannot get enough of this performance. The studio version is pretty good but this is just on a different level entirely. It’s mixed a lot heavier too, makes it sound like Grand Funk. I love it
Another *literally. Real original, Liam. Good grief...
Yeah 😁 GOTTA WATCH IT MORE THAN ONCE 💖🎶
