Hey I'm Jason Carpenter and I've been Edgar's current drummer since 2008. And I just want to say it was a pleasure watching you enjoy his music. I love that you're showing this and other music to a new generation . Keep doing what you're doing man i love it! And keep on rocking. -j-
Hey Jason! So nice to know that the internet brings us all together. After watching this if you ever tour the Madison/Milwaukee area I'm bringing my kids!
Joel Miller, my point was that it’s ridiculous that Matt Johnson replied “AMEN” when GUD MURNIN MISS WOOSTA was clearly joking about that man’s talent being given to him by God. Matt must’ve thought MISS WOOSTA was a fellow theist, not recognizing that MISS WOOSTA’s profile pic proclaims atheism.
This song came out in 1973. It really blew the roof off of the house so to speak. A lot of inspiration and raw talent. It's a classic rock song that nothing really stands up to. I was 15 years old at the time.
Actually, it was one song entitled, "Two Drum Solo" that was about 29 minute long jam. When they went into the studio and recorded it, and then realized it wouldn't fit the album. But rather than make up a copy of it to cut down, they took the master, that was on two inch tape and just started cutting out parts and taping it together. That ended up being about nineteen minutes long, so they just kept cutting pieces out until it got short enough to fit the album. As a result, there is no copy of the original full length song. (Such a shame) Edgar always gathered the absolute best musicians.
@@Tomekkplk According to him it was totally his idea to put a strap on a keyboard and play it like a guitar, and no one other than him had done it previous to this time.
@Douglas Atland As someone who mispent their youth during this time, EW didn't technically use a a keytar as there was no neck. He used an ARP 2600 keyboard on a guitar strap as the keyboard unit was so light, however he certainly planted the seed for what was to come inspiring the Hillwood RockeyBoard RB-1. Another Fankenstein video is here ua-cam.com/video/RSLP1FCREBA/v-deo.html with an interesting 50 sec interview to start.
That's an analog synth, so when he's doing those scratches, etc. in the back, he's playing the oscillators directly. The keyboard itself just changes the capacitance in the oscillator circuits, which changes the tone. Keith Emerson was another master at that, in the day.
@@jimcoester8623 aw, man, people don't give synth players anywhere near as much credit as they should. Keytars need skill, a LOT of skill to use right, and a lot of that skill is just remembering what you programmed it to do! A HUGE part is programming the thing to make the sound you want. Nowadays you'll see the same thing with electric keyboards. But it's not something anyone pays attention to.
Two albino brothers from Texas. Edgar Winter formed the Edgar Winter Group and that's who you're listening to now. Johnny Winter had his own Rick group with a different rock sound Both of those boys could ROCK ! !
I always had to buy 2 tickets. Because every time I gave it to the doorman he would tear it up. WTF! How am I supposed to prove I paid if he done tore my ticket up. It was good to have that extra in case someone asked for proof. (jfk)
Mainly this os to show how multitalented Edgar was. He’s showing all the instrument’s he can play. Awesome work. Johnny and Edgar = so much talent.🤘🏼🤘🏼😎😎🍸🧂🍻🇺🇸🇺🇸🎸🎸👍☮️💕💯% awesome.
The thing about a live recording is you get a true taste for their talent. You can cover a multitude of sins byaplicing from different recordings, or layering. This is just pure talent on display.
Thanks again Jamal, back in the "70's" we drove a pizza shop owner nuts with this song. We would come in order food and play this over and over and yes over again. A couple times he locked us out.
I grew up in the greatest era of Rock n Roll, the 1970's, and somehow failed to recognise the unbelievable talent of this man. I must have been out getting stoned the night he performed on the Midnight Special. 😁😎👍✌🗽
Amen. Johnny is my favorite Winter but my god could Edgar play. When they were on a stage together? Face melting stuff. Edgar was a multi instrumental genius and Johnny is one of the greatest guitarists to ever grace blues and rock, with a ridiculously good voice. RIP JDW🤘🏼
Guaranteed to be played in Rocktober too. Man... I roadied for these guys in the early 80s at a show they did at a local community college where I grew up. Awesome show.
I remember driving endlessly around in my Z28 Camaro with this song blaring out of the 8 track. This song was right at the fricken track change. It would fade out midway through, change tracks, and fade back in. I listened to it so much I still wait for the fade today! The studio version is great, this live version is amazing.
This reminds me of my father. He had picked my up from driver ed class one evening and Frankenstein came on the radio (what the radio was doing tuned to a rock station, IDK). When Edgar gets to the point at equivalent to the sounds at 9:38 in this video, I reached for a control knob on the radio. My father thought I was trying to tune in the station better (analog tuning, no digital receivers back then) to reduce the "noise" and he said, "That's part of the music." I replied, "I know, I'm turning it up."
I saw this 3 years ago but I just now came back to watch it again making my second comment here.... just to see the look on his face when the horns were used by the drummer! Priceless!
I imagine them rehearsing the hell out of the tightly structured bits and how to signal returns from the improv. There's nothing quite like the thrill of pulling off such tight changes live and in the moment.
Seen them at the Cannary Casino in Las Vegas. When they did Frankenstein he introduced it as the monster. They jammed just like this video for about 30 minutes.
He's definitely one who TRULY appreciates music and what it does. He's "in church ", as I call it, when he listens. He is the personification of how music is the ABSOLUTE MOST intoxicating "drug" a human being can experience. Keep on feeling it,Brother Jamel. Music is divinity. 🤘
Fun Fact for you Jamel: The reason why this song was titled "Frankenstein" was because of the amount of editing that was done in the song that the band members had said that they felt like they were assembling "Frankenstein's Monster"
The original name of the song was just called "The Jam." Edgar Winter wrote it years before, playing with his brother Johnny. They had played it in the new band as a warm-up before recording sessions, and there were dozens of different versions in the studio, all on tape. They needed one more song for the album, and figured The Jam would be a good choice. But which version? So, they started taking the verse from here, and the bridge from there, all on little 4-5 foot lengths of reel-to-reel tape, laying on tables and chairs in the mix room. The drummer remarked that it was kind of like Frankenstein's Monster, take a little bit of this and that to make a whole song. The name stuck!
I was a great time to be alive, man. For all the awfulness that was happening in the world, there was some of the best music being made. I was just a kid when this record came out, but I just couldn't stop listening to it.
When we were kids in the early 1970's, we used to, all of us kids, lie and tell that we were really going to menial jobs instead of to rock concerts in Philly in the seventies and some of the early 80's aa well. The Age of the Cocaine Comboys. I moved to Miami just as the 1981 airline crisis began. Then on to Peru and Ecuador. What a life. When I have more time, I'll write out my Manuel Noriega airport story. Crazy.
Johnny and Edgar had a band called The White Trash, Album called Roadwork, they played Tobacco Road, I grew up loving these guys, I'm 64 yrs old and still love listening to them
The coolest thing about the Winter Brothers - my mom went to high school with them. She always said they were the nicest young men, very polite, and well mannered (that means a lot in the south). This is just pure rock-n-roll for the soul.
We still have loads of real rock, in fact I'd argue theres more now than there was in the 60s. You just have to look for it, because it just is not popular anymore.
Woah there, hotshot! I hope that the puddle you have mentioned doesn't contain any genetic material, if you know what I mean! BTW, do I have a dirty mind?
70ies by far had the BEST. Rock-N-Roll. Music of ALL time. Why. They were the children of the "BIG BAND ERA" . EVERYONE in America took musical lessons!
Old Grey Whistle Test. Terrific British television show. This is one of the most amazing performances of any kind. It's amazing. And yes, that is indeed Rick Derringer on guitar. Just terrific.
I hope you've got "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo" cued up in the next week or so Jamel. It features the guitar player you see in this Frankenstein video. Rick Derringer. Thanks for all the great reactions!
I roadied for a band in los angelos. Drummer would sing hoochie koo. Hi hat came loose and I had to hit the stage and hold on to it while he sang and winked at me. Loved that guy.😎✌
Theme from SWAT, A Fifth of Beethoven, Theme from Miami Vice, Chariots of Fire, Star Wars Cantina theme, Herb Alpert Rise, Pick Up the Pieces, The Stripper. Those are some I can think of off the top of my head. There haven't been too many, though.
Edgar is still active as a touring musician and traveler. This song was part of my high school days and it still is as great as it was the first time I heard it
@Jordan Musicians today can`t write or play their own instruments. Without MYV/ UA-cam and all the others, the artists todays would be working at Walmart or McDonalds
It looks like it was on a British late night TV show called 'The Old Grey Whistle Test', hosted by John Peel. It did a deep dive on musical artists and didn't concentrate on the Top Ten like other shows. A music program for musicians, kinda. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but that man shaped by lights at the beginning was part of the show's intro...
As a Gen X who knows all the songs you react to, I absolutely LOVE watching your reactions. I love that you are so open to fearing new (old) music, and I love that you dig so.much of it.
I was 13 and we went to the mountains for vacation. The place had a gameroom with a jukebox. This was one of the standout songs i remember. The summer of 74.
Bro you need to listen to this with the black light and strobe on and playing through a Quadraphonic Stereo so the drums go AROUND the room! Those were the daze!
This song was made by stitching together all the various riffs, fills, and jams from different sessions, then running high voltage through it. hence the name Frankenstein.
I remember hearing this on a Quadraphonic stereo setup back in the day, it was awesome. If you remember what Quadraphonic was, you're old like me, LOL.
Same thoughts here. Quad 8-track in a 1972 Ford Maverick. The synth solo going all around you on Jensen coaxial speakers was mind blowing! Especially for a 15 year old at the time.
@@redsqwirl LOL, I used to have a Ford Maverick, canary yellow, with a set of Jensen Triax and a couple of coax, that thing would go to 11. I heard this on a guys home stereo setup though.
I lost it at the bicycle horn XD They really are like a bunch of mad scientists stitching together a jam from the wildest different parts. Frankenstein!
God, how I miss the good music that we had in the 70's ! I'm glad to be able to come to UA-cam & get to see the artist play & to listen to them! They're so good!
Look at it like this; Now you have ALL the great 70's music, along with all great music since, available whenever you want to hear it! Minus the fact you can't see many of the groups live anymore, it's still a pretty good spot to be in!!
Grew up with these to ulitmate brothers.....super talented....both with desires to create music in an ultimate way......both with super talent....with abilities to play multiple instruments....both with incredible ability to diagnose ability to decipher music and ability to write music....they listen and hear everything......and both were born so gifted......they both know what it takes to make music. Abd,,,,,they both do it well.
This is why I saw so many concerts! So much talent. Someone great played Every weekend! From 1975 straight until 1983. Then at least once a month after that! I've seen about 98 shows, music festivals!
Way back when, I was in Breckenridge Colorado, at a little bar called Josh's. Edgar Winter showed up for an improved show between scheduled shows including Denver, and let me tell you, Frankenstein went on for what seemed like 30 minutes. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life! We were sitting by the stage, and he hung out with us between sets. His band all hailed from around Detroit and Ann Arbor, so we had that in common. My friend bowed out of going to the bar that night because he had a headache. I will never let him live him that down.
My drama teacher encouraged me to be in a stupid Jr Miss Pageant and while other girls were singing Hopelessly Devoted to You, I did a dance routine to this song, along with a strobe light towards the end. Parents in the audience were probably thinking w.. t...f.? Hey, I looked good in my silver boots and purple sparkles. Ha ha!
We Do Not Consent. The normal people you see everyday are neutron. Special people in the world are electrons flying around all the Regular People. They only wish to be like us.
i think this version is the best other than live. i never get tired of hearing this and i'm 64. i had seen Edgar play this song in the late 90's and it was as great as this, he didn't miss a beat. he had the same energy as he had in this video. this is one of my all time favorite songs even without words. another rocking one is "picking up the pieces" by Average White Band. not a whole lot of words in that either but some great music.
I was graduated from high school the year this hit, anytime this started on the radio, didn't matter what else was going on, we stopped down and drank in every second, damn I feel 18 again man!
To be honest, until this moment I did not know Johnny and Edgar Winter were brothers. When I was a kid they did a tour together called "Twin sons of different mothers". Because of that I thought they were not related.
My dad was a studio musician with many of the 70’s bands. Kinda a crazy time but when they came home my mom made it family time. All the band members really wanted was a home cooked meal. I have fond memories of those days. It was mostly acoustic guitars and clear voices and the bands wanting us kids to sing. I am thrilled you are enjoying the music from my childhood. The passion and purity that music was is a gift
Margo Beringson - How absolutely Lovely to have that kind of experience in your family as you were growing up !!!! Nothing can ever replace those times !! You guys and those incredible musicians were all truly Blessed !! Good for you guys !!!
Live in concert. Outdoors, 90 something degrees. Stoned, tripping for the first time. Sitting In the middle of thousands of people. listening to Frankenstein bouncing back and forth between huge Marshall stacks. Was one of the most surreal times of my life.
My favorite music commentary. Man I never thought Id miss the lock downs. My man here just reminds me of how in many ways, it was far more peaceful, than the insanity that has now engulfed our lives. I am 62 yet when I see this video? I am 11 again living in my parents old house. Time man it does what it does best
Hey I'm Jason Carpenter and I've been Edgar's current drummer since 2008. And I just want to say it was a pleasure watching you enjoy his music. I love that you're showing this and other music to a new generation . Keep doing what you're doing man i love it! And keep on rocking. -j-
Now THAT has to be an awesome gig! The ultimate jam band if there ever was one, gotta be some fun shows to play!
Saw the brothers play together in Manchester England in the 70ts fantastic
Jason, this is the first record that I ever bought. I put it on my parent's RCA console (which had 15" woofers!), and I changed my WORLD.
Hey Jason! So nice to know that the internet brings us all together. After watching this if you ever tour the Madison/Milwaukee area I'm bringing my kids!
Brabo, what a beautiful statement I have read well done.
When God gave this man all this musical talent there was no room left to add color.
AMEN...!
Matt Johnson, it was a joke. Hate to burst your bubble (not really), but GUD MURNIN MISS WOOSTA’s profile picture is a symbol for atheism.

One of the most underrated bands in rock. Edgar and Johnny were geniuses.
I saw them at the Mississippi River Festival in 1976.
Totally agree!!
Edgar still is
RIP Johnny
Now you can imagine what it was like being a teenager during the 70's. We were very lucky for all the artist. Thank you for the reaction.
Band:hey edgar which instrument you want to play?
Edgar: yes.
Nobody does this shit anymore. Sad. But to hear a dude your age say "what a treat" made my day. Dig your channel.
I saw him with deep purple and Alice cooper 2 years ago,they all still jam
Check out Phish. They cover this and much more plus great original music.
Best live band out there
One of the all time great instrumentals of all times !!
Winter on Keyboards, sax, and quad drums.
Who let's the keyboards dominate over Rick..Edgar of course a legend:)
This song came out in 1973. It really blew the roof off of the house so to speak. A lot of inspiration and raw talent. It's a classic rock song that nothing really stands up to. I was 15 years old at the time.
It was called Frankenstein because it was pieced together from several unfinished songs into one cohesive one.
That's pretty good
And all bits Edgar played himself and pieced together.
Actually, it was one song entitled, "Two Drum Solo" that was about 29 minute long jam. When they went into the studio and recorded it, and then realized it wouldn't fit the album. But rather than make up a copy of it to cut down, they took the master, that was on two inch tape and just started cutting out parts and taping it together. That ended up being about nineteen minutes long, so they just kept cutting pieces out until it got short enough to fit the album. As a result, there is no copy of the original full length song. (Such a shame) Edgar always gathered the absolute best musicians.
Plus that electronic part where it sounds like Frankenstein coming to life.. I always thought..
@@paulbarnes7624 that's just as cool imo
Edgar Winter was the first to put a strap on a keyboard and play it like this, thus inventing the keytar
Douglas Altland seriously? Or in jest.. cause if so that is a kick ass thing to attach to EWG
@@Tomekkplk as far as i know he is the first to do it, he's claimed so himself.
@@Tomekkplk According to him it was totally his idea to put a strap on a keyboard and play it like a guitar, and no one other than him had done it previous to this time.
@Douglas Atland As someone who mispent their youth during this time, EW didn't technically use a a keytar as there was no neck.

@@Slayblaze I think those playing the Orphica back in 1795 might disagree but I get your point. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_keytars
“This is the longest intro ever”... I guess nobody told Jamel that’s it’s an instrumental, so the whole thing is an introduction.
You don’t hear this song. You experience it. Just straight 🧨
I love this version, instrumentals are what they are because they don't need any words!
I’m beginning to like this Jamal fellow, he appreciates all good music.
Totally. He's truthful about it all too.
I would like to be there with him during his reactions.
He sure does now. I think Jamel is a great guy.
me too man he is on point
Yep. Jamel is awesome...
I've loved this song since the 70s. I've never seen him play it live. so cool.
Plus seeing a young Rick Derringer on guitar. Worth every second!
Robert Belcher by the way Rick Derringer produced many Weird Al tracks

@@BIGLARRY100 These songs were very much cleaned up and shortened for the radio, for the better I think :)
I love live performances because the song is usually played longer and they play it different.
This was meant to be listened to in Quadraphonic. The music travelled in a circle around the room.
I had no idea this version even existed! This is awesome!
For real
This is my 1st time seeing this too! Trust im sharing it!

Folks in the 70’s could play their instruments like no one before or since. So much talent there and playing with them now.
Edgar and Johnny Winter are two of the most talented musicians to ever exist.
This was a staple on the rock stations in the 70s. Could not imagine growing up without it.

Hello!!!👈🏾🎵🙂
I was eleven when this came out - always cranked it up when it was on the radio! Great times. Great music.
Frankenstein was a instrumental no vocals. This brings back so many memories. You can feel the monster coming alive. It's ALIVE
Really? I thought I heard vocals.
This reminds me of my father. He had picked my up from driver ed class one evening and Frankenstein came on the radio (what the radio was doing tuned to a rock station, IDK).

Nice audio/visual!!
Yet at the same time I'm wondering if they ever practiced together at all 👻
Very true👍😎
In the 1970s, the studios used to just turn talent loose and make a record. Now, it is just product.
Seen them at the Cannary Casino in Las Vegas. When they did Frankenstein he introduced it as the monster. They jammed just like this video for about 30 minutes.
I like how Jamal really allows himself to have the experience and let himself get into it.
my man jamel was speechless during parts of this song.
Metallica memory remains
He's definitely one who TRULY appreciates music and what it does. He's "in church ", as I call it, when he listens. He is the personification of how music is the ABSOLUTE MOST intoxicating "drug" a human being can experience. Keep on feeling it,Brother Jamel. Music is divinity. 🤘
9:55 he done lose his mind
These guys didn't need words for this masterpiece the instruments say it all.
I thought the sound effects were like Frankenstein growling. I mean, he didn't have great diction or much of a brain.
I love how you were speechless when the drummer plays the horn. Hilarious.
Love love love! 1970’s was when the music was awesome!!! So much talent!!! Love that group!

No words needed
It was an Instrumental!
I laughed so hard! I never realised that that generation never heard instrumentals. And watching them live was a treat!
@@bellasmom2597 "Am I trippin' or ..."? Heh.
Old Grey Whistle Test. Terrific British television show. This is one of the most amazing performances of any kind. It's amazing.
And yes, that is indeed Rick Derringer on guitar. Just terrific.
What a Joy to relive Frankenstein with you 🥰 Yes what a Sweet Treat to the ears 😇☮️
The late Chuck Ruff (him on the drums) was a friend of mine. Love this performance and I love and miss my friend dearly. RIP
We miss him too, but his music lives forever! Not many can say that. Thanks for the music.
I hope you've got "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo" cued up in the next week or so Jamel. It features the guitar player you see in this Frankenstein video. Rick Derringer. Thanks for all the great reactions!
Lordy Mama, light my fuse
Truck on out
And spread the news
Was just gonna suggest hoochie coo, u beat me to it 😥
Before he went absolutely crazy (or at least before we knew he was a nut)
I roadied for a band in los angelos. Drummer would sing hoochie koo.
Hi hat came loose and I had to hit the stage and hold on to it while he sang and winked at me. Loved that guy.😎✌
Edgar Winter the man of many musical talents.
fun fact: im pretty sure this might have been the only song to hit number 1 on the charts with no lyrics
I think the ventures had 2.
Theme from SWAT, A Fifth of Beethoven, Theme from Miami Vice, Chariots of Fire, Star Wars Cantina theme, Herb Alpert Rise, Pick Up the Pieces, The Stripper. Those are some I can think of off the top of my head. There haven't been too many, though.
Pink Floyd That Great Big in The Sky!
Don't forget Popcorn!
Don't forget "Love's Theme" by Barry White; "Hocus Pocus" by Focus; "Outa Space" by Billy Preston; and "Rockit" by Herbie Hancock.
Edgar is still active as a touring musician and traveler. This song was part of my high school days and it still is as great as it was the first time I heard it
carlton jackson he plays in Ringo Stars band!
This what you call real musicians, kiddies.
@Jordan Musicians today can`t write or play their own instruments. Without MYV/ UA-cam and all the others, the artists todays would be working at Walmart or McDonalds
Exactly real musicians. No computer loops, samples, and computer generated bull. Just pure raw instrumental talent!
@@paulagiancana854 most modern "artists " Are working in such places.
Yeah the crap today like Billie Elfish, or Fish, or Carti bee. Shit music. This is talent . Love it
@@brianmjones6792 Yes, I agree 1000%
Mamma.... What can you say Jamel.... Out of this world.... That was from 50 years ago....
When I was a little kid back in the seventies I had a 45 of this jam. I couldn't play it enough. Got me set on my way to loving rock and roll baby.
Edgar Winter is a master musician. When this song was recorded he actually played all the instruments in the recording
I must have heard this 1000 times but I’ve never heard it quite like this.Awesome.
Yeah, mon. This is a tasty version, indeed.
It looks like it was on a British late night TV show called 'The Old Grey Whistle Test', hosted by John Peel. It did a deep dive on musical artists and didn't concentrate on the Top Ten like other shows. A music program for musicians, kinda. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but that man shaped by lights at the beginning was part of the show's intro...
As a Gen X who knows all the songs you react to, I absolutely LOVE watching your reactions. I love that you are so open to fearing new (old) music, and I love that you dig so.much of it.
I was 13 and we went to the mountains for vacation. The place had a gameroom with a jukebox. This was one of the standout songs i remember. The summer of 74.
Bro you need to listen to this with the black light and strobe on and playing through a Quadraphonic Stereo so the drums go AROUND the room! Those were the daze!
You got that right!
props for quadraphonic
BUT the original version.....
And drop some real window-pane acid...
oh hell yeah and throw in a little LSD
This song was made by stitching together all the various riffs, fills, and jams from different sessions, then running high voltage through it. hence the name Frankenstein.
One of my faves, it just brings me to another place!
"Did they have THAT in the studio version?" - Best. Comment. EVER!!
Edgar is so damn talented. Respect to the man. Thank you Jamal.
If you didn’t know, Edgar’s guitarist was Rick Derringer, who was successful in his own right. Check out “Rock n’ Roll, Hootchie Koo”. Great jam!
But Ronnie Montrose was on the album version. Insanely good and underrated guitarist.
Sure beats New York City!! Cause its the livin end!
Free Ride.
Bruce Wallin just listened to the live version with Edgar, great stuff thanks for the mention
Rick Derringer had hits with the Mccoy s in 60 s, like hang on sloopy,and others. They were hometown boys around our neck of the woods
I love this. Warms my heart.
He still give raw ass proformance to this day! All the baddest drummers in the industry has preformed with him.
I remember hearing this on a Quadraphonic stereo setup back in the day, it was awesome. If you remember what Quadraphonic was, you're old like me, LOL.
Pre Dolby surround sound...waaaaay ahead of its time.
Same thoughts here. Quad 8-track in a 1972 Ford Maverick. The synth solo going all around you on Jensen coaxial speakers was mind blowing! Especially for a 15 year old at the time.
@@redsqwirl LOL, I used to have a Ford Maverick, canary yellow, with a set of Jensen Triax and a couple of coax, that thing would go to 11. I heard this on a guys home stereo setup though.
8track in a 71 charger, cranked.😎
Man the look on your face when he busted out that sax.....lol!!!
I just love watchjng peoples eyes bug out more with each instrument Edgar plays.....
That's Rick Derringer on guitar. This band knew how to just flat out Jam!!!! They sure knew how to put on a show.
I lost it at the bicycle horn XD
They really are like a bunch of mad scientists stitching together a jam from the wildest different parts. Frankenstein!
God, how I miss the good music that we had in the 70's ! I'm glad to be able to come to UA-cam & get to see the artist play & to listen to them! They're so good!
Look at it like this;
Now you have ALL the great 70's music, along with all great music since, available whenever you want to hear it!
Minus the fact you can't see many of the groups live anymore, it's still a pretty good spot to be in!!
Grew up with these to ulitmate brothers.....super talented....both with desires to create music in an ultimate way......both with super talent....with abilities to play multiple instruments....both with incredible ability to diagnose ability to decipher music and ability to write music....they listen and hear everything......and both were born so gifted......they both know what it takes to make music. Abd,,,,,they both do it well.
This is why I saw so many concerts! So much talent. Someone great played Every weekend! From 1975 straight until 1983. Then at least once a month after that! I've seen about 98 shows, music festivals!
One of the best jams ever. Gotta love Edgar.
"Quadraphonic sound, a waterbed, and now a strobe light. Gentlemen, say hello to the second-base mobile."
I have this on Quad 8 track. And this song is amazing.
Yes I miss my old quadroaphonic receiver. I had this album and the sound traveled around the room.
...... and a black light, of course.
Edgar Winters is one of the greatest musicians I have ever seen. And I pretty much saw all the big ones of the 70s.
I loved this in 1973 when it came out, it was a huge hit. What a damn treat.
Way back when, I was in Breckenridge Colorado, at a little bar called Josh's. Edgar Winter showed up for an improved show between scheduled shows including Denver, and let me tell you, Frankenstein went on for what seemed like 30 minutes. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life! We were sitting by the stage, and he hung out with us between sets. His band all hailed from around Detroit and Ann Arbor, so we had that in common. My friend bowed out of going to the bar that night because he had a headache. I will never let him live him that down.
Chris Steinmayer its moments like that can change a mans life! 🙏🤘
Edgar’s saxophone skills are off the chain. His voice is the same. Then great on multiple other instruments. Sick skills and talent.
One of the greatest songs ever made....talented is putting it mildly
Edgar always gave 100% at his shows.. We had great music back then.
My drama teacher encouraged me to be in a stupid Jr Miss Pageant and while other girls were singing Hopelessly Devoted to You, I did a dance routine to this song, along with a strobe light towards the end. Parents in the audience were probably thinking w.. t...f.? Hey, I looked good in my silver boots and purple sparkles. Ha ha!
We Do Not Consent. The normal people you see everyday are neutron. Special people in the world are electrons flying around all the Regular People. They only wish to be like us.
You have good taste in music, what can I say
We Do Not Consent Great story...I can just about see you.
Need some attention, do you? save your life story
@@shanemartin8904Given being a douche to people is a form of attention-seeking behavior you're doing the same thing, you fucking hypocrite.
"I'm sure the studio version is going to sound better but, we don't care." Man after my own heart.
The quality of the studio version is incredible! Crank it up to 10!
the most astounding part to me is how close they stuck to the studio version. Its nearly identical
Normally I'm not a big fan of the audio quality on live performances, but this one is the exception. Just as good as the original, and then some.
It's the show that counts
@@guidosarducci1943 Hey, no big-a deal. piece-a cake-a.
i think this version is the best other than live. i never get tired of hearing this and i'm 64. i had seen Edgar play this song in the late 90's and it was as great as this, he didn't miss a beat. he had the same energy as he had in this video. this is one of my all time favorite songs even without words. another rocking one is "picking up the pieces" by Average White Band. not a whole lot of words in that either but some great music.
I was graduated from high school the year this hit, anytime this started on the radio, didn't matter what else was going on, we stopped down and drank in every second, damn I feel 18 again man!
My dad went to school with the Winter brothers.
how cool is that?? awesome
@@sharkfinz6 I don't think he knows how cool. Lol
@@nolaknowles9888 But Nola Knows. ;-)
@@coolworx sure do.
To be honest, until this moment I did not know Johnny and Edgar Winter were brothers. When I was a kid they did a tour together called "Twin sons of different mothers". Because of that I thought they were not related.
Seen a interview with Edgar he said they had a bunch of pieces of music and put them together like Frankenstein
Awe that's a great comment! Never knew that but it makes perfect sense!
I actually heard a version of 21st century schizoid man , where they inserted Frankenstein into the middle .
The master tape had so many cuts and patches in it that someone said it looked like Frakenstiein's monster.
Edgar said in an interview that it originally started as a two drum solo.
I saw them back in 1970 at the Capital Theater in Port Chester NY....Johnny was Edgar's surprise guest..they tore that place down!!!
Grew up listening to this song and other great songs of the 60's and 70's. Still one of my favorite songs.
My dad was a studio musician with many of the 70’s bands. Kinda a crazy time but when they came home my mom made it family time. All the band members really wanted was a home cooked meal. I have fond memories of those days. It was mostly acoustic guitars and clear voices and the bands wanting us kids to sing. I am thrilled you are enjoying the music from my childhood. The passion and purity that music was is a gift
Whew...you were blessed!
Margo Beringson - How absolutely Lovely to have that kind of experience in your family as you were growing up !!!! Nothing can ever replace those times !!
You guys and those incredible musicians were all truly Blessed !! Good for you guys !!!
It's actually fairly faithful to the studio version I'm very impressed by this live performance
Yeah, the studio version has a better mix, but this one really rocks too!
Edgar doesn't go apeshit on the synth in the studio version like he did here
Live in concert. Outdoors, 90 something degrees. Stoned, tripping for the first time. Sitting In the middle of thousands of people. listening to Frankenstein bouncing back and forth between huge Marshall stacks. Was one of the most surreal times of my life.
My favorite music commentary. Man I never thought Id miss the lock downs. My man here just reminds me of how in many ways, it was far more peaceful, than the insanity that has now engulfed our lives. I am 62 yet when I see this video? I am 11 again living in my parents old house. Time man it does what it does best
