Give a listen to Edgars first album.Entrance,I think it is an amazing album,Side 2 he does a killer version of Tobacco Road with his brother ,tommy Shannon and Red turner.
@@randyelliott9152 , I’ve been a Edgar and Johnny fan for a long time ..my first big rock concert was seeing The Edgar Winter Group in 1973. Their both so awesome ✌🏼✌🏼
There is a live Pink Floyd performance with Dick Parry on sax where he wears both tenor and alto around his neck, and when it comes time to change he just kind of shrugs and switches from one to the other. That was even more impressive if you ask me. Not to say Edgar isn't impressive mind you.
@@onusgumboot5565 You're correct. And no, it's not slighting Edgar. Dick Parry is terrific. And that bari sax is heavy! To have both around your neck!
I huge AWB fan from day one. Mad respect for Edgar and Ringo keeping it so funky! I've heard it performed by some groups as it were part of an opera! The way Ringo and Edgar along with Hamish crush this song is awesome! I'm 62 now and can recall dancing in my 8th grade talent show to Cut The Cake! The AWB original line up (Robbie McIntosh/Steve Ferrone, Hamish and Alan Gorrie together) will always be my favorite. Hamish still floors me with the 5 second riff he pulls off at 2:43! This song is eternally funky!
Edgar’s tone, timing, and phrasing are so freaking good it’s frightening. I’ve always found it really hard to keep from rushing while ripping off triplet arpeggios, and he just sits pretty in the pocket like it’s the most natural thing.
Switching between Alto and tenor. Amazing. I saw the Edgar Winter band in concert many years ago with Dan Hartman, RIP. The Edgar Winter band performed with the Husky marching band at halftime at a Husky football game I attended about 10 years ago. It was really great. He played his keyboard and saxophone. They played Frankenstein and free ride and the whole stadium was rocking.
This jam still has the Grit, Bounce, and Swing, and a Full Deep Wide Groove! It drags the listener right in with the Band . Absolutely Stellar Piece of Music! Thanks for the Share!
Fantastic, spot on description, thank you! Bought single, I listened to it non-stop, drove my brother mad, other brother played footie with Hamish who lived in merrilee housing estate in south side of Glasgow.
I play a number of instruments, sax being one of them, and I've always enjoyed Edgar Winter's sax work. He is so absolutely spot on across the board on tone, timing, , phrasing and he just lives in the pocket.
@@garthok6224 Ringo only gets the best. I had made that same claim years ago when he had Joe Walsh and got pummeled in the comments. lol For a bunch of old guys they still sound pretty dang good!
@@tomthebomb557 “Oh , shitty cause he’s old”? That kind of break, you ask for ? Who was addressing you anyway? Give yourself a break- don’t feel like everyone is talking to you for your little response
Hell yah! I was a late teen in the days of the Edgar Winter Group (Frankenstein) and the Average White Band, having grown up on the Beatles. I got to see AWB live on the "Soul Searchin" tour. I am so blessed, and this is so funky!!
Saw him in summer 1974 in Ashville, NC. With Rick Derringer. I was waiting tables and washing dishes in a summer camp near Hendersonville before starting university in England
My mother used to come home late (we're talking 2am) from work and wake us kids up...and CRANK THE HELL outta this tune while having us all clean the house hahaha!! To this day I love playing music to help me get through house cleaning. This tune is ALWAYS on my music cue baby!!
i saw Edgar Winter in the early 70's with Bad Company opening. Bad Co. played most of their first album and when Edgar Winter came out he said, "We have a special treat" and i thought Johnny was there and then Rick Derringer runs onto the stage hits his knees and slides about 25 feet across the stage. Flippin' Awesome Show.
Yes !!! Edgar is unsung hero of Rok/POP If you have the chance to see him live, do so !!! On Frankenstein, he plays 2 saxes at same time, plus keyboards, & Latin percussion. He can play guitar too, & what a voice !!!!!
Ringo always picks great musicians for his all star band. Hamish Stuart on guitar was an original member of Average White Band and also played for Paul McCartney. I'd seen Hamish on Pauls "Flowers In The Dirt" tour U.C. Berkley in Beserkly, Calif while doing concert security for Bill Graham. Two sold out shows at 60, 000 each. Also did concert security during Ringo's FIRST all star band...EXEELENT!!
mr winter used to live about 5 miles from me on Sands Point Long Island when I was in high school......about 1000 years ago. good to see him still at it.
I met met Edgar Winter many years ago in Duluth. We struck up a friendship and he showed me his most excellent stamp collection and shared a few stories about his big sister, Shelley. Lovely man
All these old guys are still kicking ass. 😆. I saw Johhny and Edgar several Times live in 70's. Together and separately. Those guys were some of the most talented musicians I have seen. And since the 70's that is alot of people. Together they just blew everybody's mind.
This video is a great masterclass in onstage communication between musicians. There are basically no lyrics, so everyone must pay attention to turn those corners. It's great to listen closely to pick out the subtle cues that Ringo and Gregg send out to keep everyone on the same page.
OMG I loved these guys as a teen in the 70s! This and Cut the Cake - AWB had the coolest LP cover too - a mate had it painted on his lounge wall in his flat! Arohanui from New Zealand!
Steve Lukather is one of the most experienced and outright incredible guitar players to ever come down the pike. It would take all day to read through his music resume. Even getting older, Edgar Winter has always been one of rocks most talented. Keys, Sax, percussion and a voice that still towers over it all. If you're a white boy and want to sing/scream the blues...there's your mentor.
You are correct sir!!! …said in my best Ed McMahon voice😂🤙. Everyone that digs these guys should get “Brother Johnny” from Edgar Winter & an incredible group of contributors!!! Too many of my musical heroes have passed recently
What a timeless song! Edgar Winter is a stellar musicial/multi instrumentalist/vocalist!! Saw him in 2008 in Roanoke VA. $8 He had a young guitarist who earned his$$$$. Edgar sand arpeggios and pointed to this dude and he played them! Vantastic concert!
Oh Yeah !!!! They Killed it.... And The One and Only Mr Amazing Edgar Winter ☺☺😎👊💯💯💖 He's Always Been One of My All Time Favorite Musical Artists, And Thanx a Million for This Upload ☺☺😎💯💖
Saw Edgar Winter a few times around 1970 and along with Little Feat they gave the best live shows ever. High energy,technical virtuosity,and a groove that wouldn’t quit
I got to meet Hamish at Beatlefest 2000 back home in Los Angeles. He is very lucky. Got to be with Paul for a few years an tour the world an then with Ringo. This song brings back some far out memories. Far out
I knew musicians who took lessons from the same piano teacher Edgar (and his brother Johnny) had in Beaumont, Tx. Met the brothers once, but it was the 70s and I’m surprised I still remember it. I’m sure they didn’t.
Saw Edgar Winter with Johnny Winter in Providence R.I. back in the 1970's I think the tickets were $8.00 what a deal! RIP Johnny one of the best guitar players EVER!!
Edgar Winter is one of the most talented musicians there’s ever been….👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Hadn’t realized he could blow the horn!
Three brothers that are all talented. Third one is Paul. All have won Grammy awards.
@@charleswinters7129 Had not heard of Paul. Thanks for sharing
That was cool, Colin Hay, Edgar Winter, Ringo Starr all boogieing down, it was pretty funky
Thank you Sir Ringo Starr
Thank you Ringo for putting together such a killer band. Rip it up!!!
Edgar ROCKS..........look at him swing from the Alto to the Tenor. Man that guy is talented! He's a FRANKENSTEIN!
Don't put your instrument down or he will grab it and solo.
There is a live Pink Floyd performance with Dick Parry on sax where he wears both tenor and alto around his neck, and when it comes time to change he just kind of shrugs and switches from one to the other. That was even more impressive if you ask me.

Thank you Ringo Starr for bringing these talented people together especially yourself! ❤❤❤
I so want to go back. My gawd music was incredible in the 60s and 70s. I played alto sax and the piano in school. Class of 78.
It's songs like this that made the 70's absolutely the best musical era ever!! I can't stop moving......

Come on y'all...give some props to Billy Squire handling that funky bass!!!
Yes ! I thought that was him. Thanks.
Squier. Probably the most consistently misspelled name around.
@@Theanswerisblowinginthewind No shit?? Seriously??? Thats awesome!
But he’s playing with a pick
Cool thank you Billy great job.
Holy crap! I am SO impressed with Edgar Winter at this moment. Phenomenal.
Edgar going from alto to tenor sax and back is.FREAKING AWESOME!!!.
Not impressed until he plays them both at the same time.😊
Its really not that hard to do.@@hoz49
@@haroldpizer9271 yeah. But Edgar didn't do it. I've seen Roland Kirk play 2 simultaneously and a local musician, Greg Bacon.
Edgar’s tone, timing, and phrasing are so freaking good it’s frightening. I’ve always found it really hard to keep from rushing while ripping off triplet arpeggios, and he just sits pretty in the pocket like it’s the most natural thing.
Fantastic free ride
Never saw Edgar play a tenor!
@@a.nonnamuss21 a musical genius

@@jackieguccione94 Hmm, I'm gonna go listen to Entrance. That's what I'm gonna do. From the get!
Hamish is still fantastic. A groove that never gets stale.
I believe Edgar Winter is one of the most talented people in the business!
I saw him in 96. The man is amazing
YES!!!!

This really ROCKS!
Great cover, and Edgar does the sax parts justice!
One of the best grooves with Ringo and Greg working together!!!
Edgar Winter is a musical freak, is a great way. Hell, he can play anything.
Hell yep!
rocky mullins gb112wv
So that's him on Sax? I met those Scots, friends of Donovan's lived @ Calabasas/Sundance Ca
yes he is
Why is anybody surprised? These guys are true professionals. No surprises, but lots of props..... to all of them.
I love how Ringo organized all these great musicians (now and years past) to play with him for all these years now.
I play a number of instruments, sax being one of them, and I've always enjoyed Edgar Winter's sax work. He is so absolutely spot on across the board on tone, timing, , phrasing and he just lives in the pocket.
Edgar Winter note perfect on the sax(es).
Fantastic Band! Edgar Winter is Ringos best acquisition to date!
Don't forget about Mark Rivera, that guy is also super talented
@@garthok6224 Ringo only gets the best. I had made that same claim years ago when he had Joe Walsh and got pummeled in the comments. lol For a bunch of old guys they still sound pretty dang good!
Ringo just drums and gives all others the spotlight. He’s the beautiful glue that brings beautiful music together
Is there anything Edgar Winters can't do? The man is a freakin' legend beyond legends.
get a tan?
Well maybe but here he plays the main riff in a real spare clipped way unlike the original which was more full on and robust. Comes off weak
@Doug Cameron the man is near 77 years old..give me a break...
@Mono Ped albinism can't tan ..point taken..but such a little point

Sounds even better than my old 45 , playing on my 68 Marantz ! Brilliant tune . 1974 had a sound all its own .
Always loved this Jam and Cut the Cake.
Seen Edgar about 20 years ago, what a talent. Pity Johnny had to leave us.
Saw him in summer 1974 in Ashville, NC. With Rick Derringer. I was waiting tables and washing dishes in a summer camp near Hendersonville before starting university in England
Billy Squire on bass great really great job
Excellent jam. I love that song from way back when. A treat to see & hear Edgar Winter and of coarse Ringo !!!!
Edgar is such a bad ass musician!!! Been listening to him since Entrance!
never thought i would ever live to see ringo playing to pick up the pieces
edgar winter is the shit ....he kills it here !! great musician !!
Edgar Winters one of the most prominent musicians around. He could play anything. I really miss him and his brother Johnny jamming together.
My mother used to come home late (we're talking 2am) from work and wake us kids up...and CRANK THE HELL outta this tune while having us all clean the house hahaha!! To this day I love playing music to help me get through house cleaning. This tune is ALWAYS on my music cue baby!!
Just saw Ringo in concert. This band rocks. All great musicians.
Beyond words! Thank you❤❤❤😊😊😊from Austria
Sax was wicked! Then again looks who's playing. Expect nothing but excellence!.
EDGAR! That sax solo kicked ass!!!
Texas is represented here! Edgar Winter and Gregg Bisonette. GO BOYS GO!

what a sensational solo by Edgar...Ringo...What a show...!
don't know what bought me here... but I'm glad the fuck it did.amazing live performance.
Such a classic that every high school jazz band since 1977 has learned this song.
Yes !!! Edgar is unsung hero of Rok/POP If you have the chance to see him live, do so !!! On Frankenstein, he plays 2 saxes at same time, plus keyboards, & Latin percussion. He can play guitar too, & what a voice !!!!!
His Brother isn't half bad I there
One word... AWESOME!
He had a band called The White Trash, Awsome
Nothing but the best.....every one of them. This stuff never gets old either. I turned my wife on to this in the 70s. One of my favorite songs.
Ringo always picks great musicians for his all star band. Hamish Stuart on guitar was an original member of Average White Band and also played for Paul McCartney.

WOW CANT IMAGINE SEEING EDGAR N JOHHNY ON SAME STAGE WOW! THAT HAS TO BE INCREDIBLE
MrSixinfrog I saw the Edger Winter Group with Steve Marriott and Humble Pie opening. Great show.
Best live rendition of this tune I've ever heard!
Check out when Darryl Hall played on Darryl’s House.
check out Candys Dulfers version....
@@kayeammerman4964Agreed - a far better version - Shawn Pelton on drums.
WOW!!!! Edgar killing it!!!! What a great version of this great "Do the Bump!" song!!!
Saw this a couple of weeks ago in Phoenix. Yeah it was great !!!!! Happy Birthday Ringo !! Rock on !!!
Ringo Starr = human metronome☺️👍🏽
wow mad respect for Billy Squire on bass .... also covering the guitar parts on Frankenstein...this grooves hard....swing it Ringo and company.....
Incredible! I saw them on this tour in Nashville, TN. Such a great concert!!!

Edgar and. the Band sound great.
I will always listen to Edgar Winter and he always has good band mates Everytime he's so specially nice.
Great music I like that song and a good band
Fantastic !!!!!
We saw him in June 2023 at the St.Michelle Winery with this line-up. It was FAB, of course...
Just to HEAR Pick up the Pieces LIVE not to mention Men at Work and Toto's stars
Edgar Winter is phenomenal on that sax! This is one of the few disco songs that still hold up today.
Except it's not a disco song. It's funk/R&B. But a great tune, anyway.
Please dont say disco, its funk,
Edgar is amazing on this tune!!!!!!
Genre hate is a bit silly. Tons of good stuff out there if only you didnt have cloth ears.
Edgar Winter..genius. What a great performance by the All Stars
This video is a great masterclass in onstage communication between musicians. There are basically no lyrics, so everyone must pay attention to turn those corners. It's great to listen closely to pick out the subtle cues that Ringo and Gregg send out to keep everyone on the same page.
You're right. I played this on sax in a former life...and it's easy to lose your place. Fantastic jam, and Edgar kills it.
Edgar can play every instrument on that stage better than anyone else, and those guys are really, really good!
Comparisons are odious.
Better drummer than Bissonette? Stop
OMG I loved these guys as a teen in the 70s! This and Cut the Cake - AWB had the coolest LP cover too - a mate had it painted on his lounge wall in his flat! Arohanui from New Zealand!
Killer bassline. Classic tune.
The amount of talent here is just unbelievable ... to have it on stage together at one point, is a real treat for all of us 😎
Saw them in Richmond, Va their last go around and the most fun I've had at a concert in decades
Saw Edgar Winters & White Trash in 75' at Pirate's World in Dania, Fla. Fantastic !!
