These guys were playing at a music Festival in my hometown of Birmingham Alabama. Along with, Jethro Tull, Allman Brothers Band, KISS, Lynyrd Skynyrd,CCR, were all playing this Festival. I was flabbergasted by all the talent. But Johnny and Edgar Winters, are the ones I remember most. They were Amazing!

    This was THE HARDEST song to learn on tenor sax in highschool marching band. But once I got it down, I was JAMMING. We won the state band championship with this song, 25 or 6 to 4, and another I don't remember. This song was our last one and we ended it by playing the end note and then stepping back, looking at the judges, playing it a little louder, then snapping our instruments away from our face and walking off the field. One of the members of the drum line knew we nailed it cuz afterwards you could see her in the video celebrating as we walked off the field lol.

    In the 1970's I loaned my friend a copy of the 45 single "Free Ride". He liked it, but he loved the B side even more. It was Frankenstein. However being a single, it was only 3:28 long. We were both pleased to discover the album version was much longer at 4:44. We've since enjoyed all the rest of the songs from that great rock album! In addition I was happily surprised to discover seeing Edgar Winter playing the Saxophone on Tina Turner's 1989 music video, "The Best".

    I saw Edgar Winter along with Focus of HOCUS POCUS fame in May 1973 at the Augusta, Ga. high school gymnasium. I was stationed at nearby Ft. Gordon. My army buddy and I could touch the stage even though the place was packed... We were deaf for days and it was a GREAT concert.... And yes... I am an antique at 66 today.

    I still get the feeling of exhilaration that I got when I first heard this tune. It's like classical music in that, instead of repeating the same original piece of melody over and over, it keeps moving forward to new melodies. I know it is pieced together like a Frankenstein monster, but this is how all rock should be done.
