To me, Edgar Winter presents the "ARTIST AT WORK".
@Sight After Dark! Edgar Winter on Keyboard, Saxophone & Timbales. Chuck Ruff on drums, Rick Derringer on guitar, and Dan Hartman on bass. Rick Derringer was best known for his big hit "Rock 'n' Roll, Hoochie Koo"1973! Dan Hartman was best known for his hits "Instant Replay" 1978, "Relight My Fire (featuring Loleatta Holloway)" 1979, and "I Can Dream About You" 1984!
Edgar was in The Music Store checking out the very latest in synthesizers. This one had just hit the market when he decided to strap it to himself calling it The keytar.
Absolute musical genius.
The guitarist Rick Derringer had his first hit in 1965 as a member of The McCoys. The #1 hit was Hang On Sloopy.
I remember catching this performance on TV by pure chance at my aunts house when I was ten years old and being completely mesmerized by it.
The guitarist in the white jumpsuit is Rick Derringer. He was a founding member of The McCoys... you might remember their biggest hit, "Hang On Sloopy"(1965)... if not, you should look for the 1975 video on UA-cam, featuring a very lovely dancer... the vid will show you what sexy was in the mid '70s! ;-]
We do know that song. Thanks for the info Robert!
IIRC the guitarist here is Rick Derringer
Had a feeling when I saw you were reacting to the live version of this that it would be this one from BBC 2 TV's Old Grey Whistle Test which ran from 1971-1986. It was sort of the anti- Top of the Pops and would have alot of artists that weren't necessarily going to get into the top 40. This meant, like this, that bands could do longer songs and improvise more. Its a very good rabbit hole to go down for amazing performances, to name a few - Sensation Alex Harvey Band doing "Next" and "Delilah", Bob Marley and the Wailers doing "Stir It up", Talking Heads doing "Psycho Killer", Dr Feelgood, doing "Roxette", Focus doing "Sylvia", and The Tubes doing "White Punks on Dope"
I saw them back in the 70's 4 Times...Winter,Derringer,Hartman,Ruff
The band lineup for this live performance is Edgar Winter (of course), Rick Derringer (guitar), Dan Hartman (bass) and Chuck Ruff (drums). Rick Derringer had a solo career and also formed the band, Derringer. Rock And Roll, Hoochie Koo and Teenage Love Affair were popular singles from him in the 70s. Chuck Ruff went on to play on two Sammy Hagar solo albums. Dan Hartman had a solo top 40 hit in the 80s called I Can Dream About You.
Ronnie Montrose played guitar on the studio version of Frankenstein. He would then go on to form the band Montrose with Sammy Hagar in 1973. Later, after doing a solo album and tour, Ronnie put together another band, Gamma.
I had the chance to see Edgar Winter twice. Once with his legendary band White Trash, and again with the Edgar Winter Group. The Winter Group released Frankenstein from their album, They Only Come Out at Night, and the song was a monster radio hit and Ronnie Montrose played guitar on it. This video recording of the song was with guitar-God Rick Derringer. You may remember Derringer from the Steely Dan songs Show Biz Kids, Chain Lightning and My Rival. The Edgar Winter's White Trash album is absolutely incredible. They were a blues/horns/Texas funk band with every single song amazingly great, a must hear!
The guitar slinger here is the great Rick Derringer, who also played with "Johnny Winter And" (That was the name of Johnny's band at that time.) Rick and Johnny TOGETHER was dangerous...they were both SO good. RIP Johnny! Johnny's band and this same Edgar Winter band in this video did a tour together in 1975, with Edgar's band opening, and then Johnny's band, and then (eventually) the bands came out on stage "Together" (the name of the album they made of the tour) and played old tunes from their past...all covers of great old rock and roll and Rhythm and Blues. Check out the rock and roll medley from "Together"...it smokes!
Gotta do Edgar Winter Group / Tobacco Road live! The check out some Rick Derringer (Keep Playing That Rock and Roll!). Thanks guys!
Edgar and Johnny of course were albinos. Saw His first band, White Trash, back in the day with J Geils Band. Stunning power, awesome energy, doubled over with talent. WT was mega-funky high energy R&B, lots of horns. Rick Derringer on guitar here, a semi-unsung guitar god. He played with Johnny as well. Suggestion: Mean Town Blues on the "Johnny Winter And Live" album. And/or Back in the USA on the WT "Roadwork" album. Rick shreds
Those Winter brothers just slay it all day everyday! My very first rock concert. Elf, Foghat and the Edgar Winter Band, Pocono Mountain Speedway 1974. This was huge on the radio when I saw them. My 14 year old ass was mesmerized in that sea of people. Had no idea that Elfs singer would turn out to be Dio. I had never seen anyone play slide guitar like Rod Price from Foghat. I thought those sounds came from one of those lap pedal things as seen on my parents favorite TV show Hee Haw. But these guys just killed it and turned me instantly into a live music junkie. This whole album, They Only Come Out At Night, is phenomenal and still holds up well today. A very cool ballad called Autumn and Undercover Man are cool AF deep tracks. Undercover Man was the B side on the Frankenstein 45. Whoever requested this, I salute you!
What an awesome memory Chaz, thanks for sharing!
I saw him way back in the 70's at a after hour club called "The Golden West" and he played this song! 🤘🎶 l also saw his brother Johnny at a different time, both were AWESOME 🤘😊
HuntingtonBeach? Oh no, THAT was TheGoldenBear methinks!
Edgar can also sing his ass off! Check out Tobacco Road live with his brother Johnny Winter. Patrons?? a little help?
Yep I was going to write the same thing. Tobacco Road from the Roadwork album is absolutely mind blowing.
Edgar Winter is such a talented guy. Not just to be able to play 3 instruments, but to play them so well. I was lucky to have seen them at this time...incredible. The drummer was Chuck Ruff (RIP), the bassist was Dan Hartman (RIP) and the guitarist was Rick Derringer (ex McCoys "Hang On Sloopy from 1965") on this one, original record was with Ronnie Montrose on guitar. Saw them do this in a small gym in Davenport Iowa and they blew the roof off the joint.
Seen Edger Winter Group 3 times in St.Louis and the band always brought the house down.
Lead Guitar player is Rick Derringer(Rock n Roll Hoochie Koo)
50 years old!
We used to listen to this on LSD and marijuana of course..lol...it was quite the trip..the infamous Rick Derringer on lead guitar.😅
Chuk Ruff Drummer ,he had a successful career playing with many artist after EWB broke up Dan Hartman Bass Player and Rick Derringer Guitar have had huge success .Dan went disco and made a big hit Instant Replay in 1977 and Dream About You in 1984 and wrote Living in America that James Brown made into huge hit ,he did a lot more stuff also.. Rick had a good solo career '''Rock n Roll Hoochie Coo''' a huge hit but was well known as a producer on many artist albums ,he was responsible for Steely Dan getting a record contract and he played guitar on quite a few of their songs also on recording sessions ..Check out their career history, it is wild
Regarding Rick as a producer, he produced the first 6 Weird Al albums. Al then took over producing after that.
OK thanks for your reaction. I had the pleasure to see Edgar play at a bar in North Carolina I was high as a kite and love it.
One of the greatest live recordings! So cool!
WHAT A LIVE PERFORMANCE THE BEST
I used to blast this out the windows on halloween, not sure the neighbors appreciated but the kids did
Saw Edgar 5 or 6 years ago........they play "stump the guitar player" when Edgar would scat ridiculous vocal lines and the guitar player would repeat them right back......they keep doing it until the guitar screws up a line......you should hear him sing "Tobacco Road" with Johnny W. on guitar
A fun performance that i've seen many times. I saw The Edgar Winter Group open for The Allman Bros. around 1980. They were excellent. They played Frankenstein, of which was extended a little, but not like this performance. As stated, the guitarist is Rick Derringer, of whom had a bit of success...ie: Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo. The drummer Chuck Ruff was great and Edgar can play just about every instrument on the planet.
Rick Derringer was also a member of The McCoys, who had the hit "Hang on Sloopy" which is the official rock song of Ohio. (Where I was born and raised.) It also played at Ohio State University football home games.
Very cool!
Rick Derringer on guitar, I would recommend Rick's hit Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo!
Went to a double bill concert Edger and Jonny together lucky lucky
Mary Wollstonecraft(sp.?) Shelley was married to poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. 'Frankenstein(the Modern Prometheus)' has long been one of my very favourite books, along with Harper(another odd woman's name) Lee's 'To Kill A Mockingbird'. Yippee, right? 🥳🎉😂😊
Bassist Dan Hartman wrote the other big hit for the EWG, 'Free Ride', and had at least one on his own, 'I Can Dream About You', the video for which may feature him in blackface as part of an R&B-style vocal group. Given the times, it seemed more aspirational, more a tribute than culture-appropriation type offensive. 🤷🏽
Guitarist(singer, in his own right)Rick Derringer was Johnny Winter's 2nd guitarist, I think before joining brother Edgar's band, and had a hit as a teenager with his band the McCoys with 'Hang On Sloopy'. He had his next hit on his own with 'Rock'n'Roll Hoochie-Koo', which had been a signature tune for Johnny Winter. Think he also wrote 'Still Alive and Well' for Johnny. Saw him with his own eponymous band 2nd on the bill to Aerosmith in '76, following Rory Gallagher (!!) and ex-Sha-Na-Na rocker Henry Gross, apologetic for loved-my dog, miss him-hit 'Shannon'. Weird, cool show, much like the times, again. 😂❤❤❤
I've never been able to decide or ascertain since rediscovering this clip along with numerous reactors, whether this was the version aired on Kenny Roger and the First Edition's early 70s Sunday night show 'Rolling on the River', taped at the CTV studios just east of Toronto out on Highway 401. Who knows? Who cares? Mox nix, right?
Killing it, anyhoo. ✌🏼😊❤
The show this was on was The Old Grey Whistle Test ( if the grey beard on the door could Whistle the song after one hearing you had a hit) Lots of good stuff on the show.
Thoroughly recommend Delilah by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band from TOGWT.
Edgar Winter is the first musician to ever put a guitar strap on a keyboard and play it standing up.
Very cool
If you're into this kind of virtuosity I can recommend Curved Air's 'Vivaldi' (1972 live) featuring Darryl Way on electric violin.
Curved Air were amazing. Marie Antoinette is the bomb
The late great Ronnie Montrose on Guitar!
on bass i think cause that's Rick Derringer on guitar
@@otisyoung7061bass was Dan Hartman
EDGARS got quite a resume of albums...
you guys should do his Brothers Band his song is Tobacco Road Johnny Winter Tobacco Road
EDGAR WINTER ON IT ALL CHUCK RUFF ON DRUMS DAN HARTMAN ON BASS AND RICK DERRINGER ON GUITAR
He.was overshadowed by his brother johnny.but stil.a.fine musician all the same
Bassist Dan Hartman went on to have quite a career. Sadly, he died young.
😢 R.I.P. to him
I liked this song when it first came out. Was like a sugar rush. Like a sugar rush though, it soon went. I still think it's OK, but that's all. It's just blues/rock with synth taking the lead. He's at best and average keyboard player and saxophonist, like guitarist Derringer, but they seem to like that sort of stuff on the other side of the pond. It's like someone you've known your whole life puts on a hat and you don't recognise them 🙂. It's just blues!!!!
Lightweight compared to his brother.
I did enjoy seeing this again, from a nostalgia point of view, so thanks for that David.
Did you know that Frankenstein is the ONLY rock instrumental to ever make it to number 1 on the Billboard charts?
That’s crazy! Shout out to Edward!
Edgar Winter: how can a man be so white and so black at the same time???
Nope, it was a 19 year old girl who created acience fiction.
It's very "unfortunate" that Edgar is a dedicated Scientologist, a true believer. He produced, arranged, and performed on the Scientology album _Mission Earth_. It is said he donates large sums of money to the cult. This in my opinion makes him No Good regardless of the fact he's a pretty good musician.
It is amazing that someone so talented can also be so deceived. Scientology is CIA soul poison
This song was played in its entirety as recorded in the 70s…this version.
