This song never gets old. What a sick jam. Look at the personel credits on the album They only come out at night. Edgar is credited with playing at least 10 instruments on the album.
I've heard this song all my life, but never saw this video of a live performance, and I had the headphones on and was totally blown away, just like you were. I think 100 years from now they will look back on the 1970's as one of the most musically creative times of all time!
I used to have this album by Johnny Winter called "The Winter of ....something. Came out in the late 80s" It's killing me cuz, it was so awesome....but too many brain cells ago. Do you know the one I mean?
They BOTH played at Woodstock in '69...both are instrumental virtuosos. Johnny was signed by Columbia Records, the year before, for a record amount. I'd listen to Johnny's earlier stuff, first, tracks like; Be Careful With a Fool, Memory Pain, Jumpin' Jack Flash, Still Alive and Well. He later helped shed some overdue light on his hero, Muddy Waters career...producing & playing on 4 albums, winning 3 seperate Grammys. They're both monsterous musicians who never got the true public recognition their talent deserves.
Great musicians all the way around. Derringer on guitar produced a lot of Edgar and Johnny's albums and his solo work is great. You want to rock, Johnny's Still Alive And Well album is one of the best blues rock albums ever made.
You are 100% correct on that one, Randy. SAAW, one of my favorite albums of all freakin' time...some of the best slide work ever....Rock n' Roll...whew. "Let me tell you baby..."
Back in '07, I used a concert in Red Bank, NJ, as an excuse to finally visit New York, New York, (ironically, a song JW once did). Promising myself, I had to see Johnny, Edgar & Rick, all playing together, before it was too late. No regrets, smokin' show, with Rick opening. What a scary, diverse, guitarist! When Steely Dan hires you, what can you say! Edgar was next & Johnny headlined, with the 3 closing the evening, together, at the Count Basie Theater!!!
This live performance is epic. This was performed on the Midnight Special. The only music channel that I know of that was truly “live.” No overdubs. I’ll let others tell you about the guitarist…
@alexander greene now that I think of it, I have seen a couple lip synced. Thanks..I didn’t know they had a choice! I have the whole set of Midnight Special on DVD. From What I’ve seen so far (haven’t got through all yet!) I’ve seen more live than synced. Great show either way!
Guys!! When it shows a close-up of the keyboards, it sometimes looks like Patrick is playing! Lol!! 😎 I noticed it around the 6 minute mark. Kinda funny when you see it. It's the black shirt & Patrick's arms blend in with the video ❤️🇺🇸
I grew up in the 60's and 70's, the most prolific time for rock music. I think most of us didn't really understand that it would not continue to evolve or even exist, it has been quite a shock to me that it stopped almost altogether. I think that each generation claims their own style of music; my parents had the Big Band era, my generation had Rock N Roll and with the development of technology, successive generations of music went that way and away from real instrumentation and "cheap" music that relied on technology, so synthisized music emerged. The younger generations used that as their own and are only now, like you, getting to hear what real Rock music sounds like. It has been interesting to watch the younger people turning on to music my generation loved but took for granted. I think through the rediscovery of it by the younger generations, we are also appreciating what we had back then as well.
You summarized what I think many of us who grew up during this time period also have thought about the demise of classic rock and how we didn't understand that this period was unique and the believed that it would last forever. I guess we should have known that music changes over time and not necessarily for the better.
@@steveullrich7737 Ironically, it wasn't called "classic rock", back then. During my '75-8 high school days, I was already becoming a music head, investing my time & money into discovering older recordings, not just rock, but blues, jazz and other styles. Some closer friends were musicians, I started on trumpet during grade 7.
Not too exaggerate but in the 70's we never said Johnny and Edgar Winter's names out loud...we had so much respect and in so much awe of them both, young people said their names in hushed tones! We'd NEVER seen anything like this and this was in an era where extraordinary, unique rock music was normal and expected!
I know I wasn't disappointed!! We are lucky to have this footage. We had album covers, but most of the time we didn't know what our Rock Stars looked like.
@@mstewart109 Ditto. And we thought CD'S were easier. Now it's all in our hands. Wow. Queen at the Rainbow, or Wembley and everything in between it's amazing.
Oh. Yes. Nice to see you guys. Nice to see you do such an awesome react to a classic, unbelievable jam! Edgar Winter. Johnny Winter. OMG! What incredible musicians.
I have been listening to this album this weekend They Only Come Out At Night ,,very coincidental aye ! This was a short lived Super Group in my opinion.. Rick and Dan had great careers on their own as well as Edgar and Chuck always played drumming in other bands .......
Not one, bad, throw away track on that record! It features 4 band leaders; Edgar, Rick, Dan & Ronnie Montrose, including 3 producers, (the former 3). A virtual super group!!!!
@@loilt5091 Montrose was a big part of that first as guitar player on the album T O C O A Night and toured with them a while and then started the band MONTROSE by 1974 ..Rick produced the album and played on a few songs but RONNIE MONTROSE is the guitar player on the Studio Version of Frankenstein ,not Rick ,,thanks for the reminder ..
@@VIDSTORAGE I always wondered about both of their inclusions on the album, hearing different stories? Back in '94, Ronnie played the Commodore Ballroom, Vancouver, opening for Steve Morse, with the Dixie Dreggs. So tragic about his death.
@@loilt5091 Yea ,terrible way to go .. Ronnie died 9 years ago and couldn't take the cancer anymore ..Have you seen the vid with him playing with Edgar in the 70s playing Frankenstein with Rick is interviewing Edgar ?
Calling it ART was Excellent! the idea the name of the song came from trying to piece together the riffs, maybe true, but I also was told that a band member watched the Frankenstein movie, felt;t the synth work, guitar and keyboard fit the scenes in the lab. rumor was Rick Derringer, the producer?
It’s funny, I’ve seen some reactors first timing it with some of these bands and actually doubting that they could recreate the songs live. Ha Ha! They obviously aren’t familiar and are certainly not used to actual musicianship! Just more fun for us! These guys are very cool though. That’s why we are here. Patrick is cool but George is priceless. His sincere reactions of getting his mind blown is something we all can relate to. 👍 They definitely deserve to get into the Rock and Roll time machine with one of us as tour guide to one of these old concerts! It’s a strong fantasy of mine. One, to revisit the show and two, to laugh my ass off watching their brains melt live. Good times, good times.
Yeah Edgar Winter is an amazing multi-instrumentalist. His sax playing was very much in demand and he has played sax on many hit songs by other people as well. He is a favorite session musician. And he did things with the Arp 2600 synthesizer that had never been heard before. I've loved this song since I first heard it in the 70s.
Get ready to have your minds blown!!! This trac is from jam sessions put together that resulted in this mega hit master class in instrmentals. Edgar was the first to use a strapped keyboard.
Johnny and Edgar Winter often played at a little arena in Orland Fl., when I was a teenager, as did Bob Seger also, and often wandered around in the crowd before they went on. They were fairly surreal in person, as they are (were?)actually albinos. Their hair glowed in the dark!
I've never seen this live footage! Thanks a million! I think part of the explanation for what we got musically in the 70s, particularly early-mid, was that the competition was brutal!
Awesome reaction, guys! I was 10 when the song came out, and have so many wonderful memories of it! Have you guys done any Stevie Ray Vaughan yet? If not, let me suggest Texas Flood (Live at El Mocambo is my favourite version), Tin Pan Alley and Voodoo Child, for starters You need to do live versions to really experience his and his band Double Trouble's amazing skills. I think they'll blow you away too! Back to the Winter brothers, please do Johnny's live cover of "Johnny B. Good" and Edgar and Johnny's "Tobacco Road". I know you'll be amazed!
Brilliant reaction!!. A great number from a great artist. It blows my mind to see young people enjoying the music of my youth...songs I grew up with., that had meaning.... Try the Isle of Man tourist trophy guys, also part of the mind growing process....
Edgar Winter and his brother Johnny Winter were something else! Next EWG-s"Free Ride" or Johnny's "Mean Town Blues" , Johnny B.Goode cover from Woodstock from 1969 or Rolling Stone cover "Jumpin' Jack Flash" 1971 , please.
They, like most were inspired by the Beatles. Improvisations have always been with is, but the Beatles opened Pandora's box with styles. The Winter Brothers kept the Blues in their music
I had the pleasure of seeing them live back in the day, it was awesome to hear live. Still love watching this live performance. Unless you see, a lot of people don't know Edgar plays so many instruments. Thanks for reacting to the live clip.
Their live album, Together: Edgar & Johnny Winter Live, was recorded in '76. They were collectively at the height of their popularity, selling out stadiums and arenas, featuring an all-star band of former McCoys, Johnny's current band & Edgar Winter Group alumni, (including Rick Derringer & Dan Hartman). Apparently, they had no real rehearsals and just winged it, with the Winter Brothers revisiting their, '50's rock and roll roots. Speaking of great live, Winter recordings, I highly recommend, Roadwork: Edgar Winter's White Trash, recorded at the legendary, Apollo Theater, in Harlem.
"How many instruments does he play?" Now watch him with his brother Johnny on "Tobacco Road" and you will hear him sing also. His vocals match his prowess on instruments. You will be impressed.
I hope the younger people (and everyone) out there who actually loves music realize and appreciate how much practicing for years and intense concentration is needed to become a musician (bass/drums/guitar/keyboards/vocals/sax/any other instrument) at these levels. It doesn't happen overnight( I mean the years of practice you have to put in to becoming a better musician) until one day maybe you or your band breakthrough. It also shouldn't happen to idiots that create all their sounds/instruments on a computer and then have the nerve to top it off with a fake auto tuned vocal. Hasn't that pretty much been happening in a large abundance for about 20 years. Bullshit music made by bullshit "artists". Cheers. Still love you guys. The canadian Queen nut, and a going on 40 years amateur musician.
Check out Captain Beyond's Dancing madly backwords (on the sea of air), from the self titled debut killer album from 1972, on vocal Deep Purple's original singer Rod Evans, monster drummer Bobby Caldwell, Larry "Rhino" Reinhardt on guitar, and Iron Butterfly's Lee Doorman on bass, you'll won't be' disappointed.
agree with Randy Baker below, you gotta react to his brother Johnny for some kick ass blues or rock especially from his Still Alive and Well album. Try "All tore Down" or "Rock And Roll " for starters, it will kick your ass as he is the real deal when it comes to Guitar Slingers. Come on guys DO IT !!!!
@@dougieyou , I love his stuff and saw him a couple times in an intimate setting (Caravan of Dreams in Ft. Worth) but there is no way I know his stuff as well as someone who saw him over 25 times. lol That's awesome.
Got to see him about a dozen times over the years, in arenas, theatres, lounges, outdoor festivals, etc., Edmonton, Vancouver, Bellingham, Seattle, Chicago & Jersey. His great comeback record, it's ironic title track written by the prodigal greatness of Rick Derringer. Check out Johnny on TH-cam, with Randy Joe Hobbs, doing, "Key to the Highway". Johnny literally calls out the changes, as they jam backstage in Detroit, with a few, privileged, hangers-on. It's JW like you've never heard, no pedals or cranked up amplification, just straight soulfullness, coming from the hands of a one-of-a-kind virtuoso! I'd always wished he'd recorded an entire acoustic album, featuring his famous Nationals...his cover of T-Bone Walker's, "Blue Mood", always floored me...apparently, he was a bit insecure about his unplugged abilities?! Nuts, the man was a GOD for many of us!
I was a little kid when they would play this song on the radio. I thought it was weird and long. When Led Zeppelin would come on I would change the channel because I was told Led Zeppelin was satanic. Now when I hear these songs I think how amazing they are. My favorite group? Led Zeppelin lol
Edgar Winter is still alive at 74 and still plays. One of his overlooked but great bands was White Trash. Check it out: th-cam.com/video/BNYdiinUY8g/w-d-xo.html
There is still the talent out there for improv I think, but you asked “what happened”. Many younger people in the late seventies began to react against the looong Improv and soloing and intricacy and complexity of bands like Yes, Zeppelin, Tull, calling it pretentious….snd so you had punk…..back to simplicity and raw energy. And has time has passed, many have shorter attention spans. I cannot imagine most young people today dealing with a 20 minute guitar or drum solo. Hell, they can’t even take a long instrumental intro! And the more complex music these days, like symphonic metal, or creations from bands like Tool, make improvisation impossible Anyway, just some thoughts. I enjoy your platform!
We had this in the 1970's on tv music programmes and on albums released....Today we have wannabee instant fame stars on tv talentless shows dominating both tv and music stores who need vocoders to sing in tune and can't play an instrument to save their lives ...but ....they look good ! ! !
Monster song. There’s a reason it’s called Frankenstein! Ha Ha! Ok, guys I’m going to keep throwing this in my comments. I guarantee it because I want you to get more badass mind blowing stuff. This just Rocks HARD! It’s at the peak of the bands power and popularity. One of their very best songs. JUDAS PREIST: Riding On The Wind off of the Screaming For Vengeance album. Do the studio version please. Again, I wouldn’t screw with you guys and suggest something sub par. That’s not my style. This song Slams and is nice high energy. Again, I personally guarantee it.
I think all that creativity became so high because America and the British were competing with each other all the time. British invaded America and that started it all.
I've been listening to this song for 50 years, and it's just as good as it was the first time. Unbelievable.
Me too! Love it so much!
Saw them 71 crazy good
Rock & Roll perfection. So much freakin' talent on that one stage. Brilliant.
This song never gets old. What a sick jam. Look at the personel credits on the album They only come out at night. Edgar is credited with playing at least 10 instruments on the album.
Isn't it awesome music, my younger years, Edgar and Johnny Winters!! Nothing like 70's music!! Fantastic reactions guys!! 😊💓🤘✌️
I've heard this song all my life, but never saw this video of a live performance, and I had the headphones on and was totally blown away, just like you were. I think 100 years from now they will look back on the 1970's as one of the most musically creative times of all time!
Nothing will ever match the 1970’s,….and I mean never!!!!!!
This piece is a Jackson Pollock painting to the ears.
Edgar's older brother Johnny was a great blues guitarist as well, and he did some work with Edgar that is also worth a listen.
I used to have this album by Johnny Winter called "The Winter of ....something. Came out in the late 80s" It's killing me cuz, it was so awesome....but too many brain cells ago. Do you know the one I mean?

"The Winter of '88"?

Those Winter boys were from another planet.
Super band and very underrated
Edgar Winter was a wizard!

I’ll let others tell you about the guitarist…
It was performed on the old grey whistle test , the shows logo was at the start.

Edgar's keyboard is making the electronic sounds you hear.
I can watch 1 reaction video to this song every day .
Practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice. Focus focus focus focus.
Edgar winter is a musical super genius. That's all I got to say!!

IS A LEGEND...Still alive & well!

Damn, the money I spent in the jukebox playing this at work!!!
Awesome reaction, guys! I was 10 when the song came out, and have so many wonderful memories of it!

That's what some synthesizers looked like back in '73, not just keyboards.

That's not a speaker, it is the synthesizer, the keyboard is just part of it. Synthesizers were big back then in the 70s
You should hear Edgar sing. Tobacco Road with brother Johnny
I have never seen this video. What a trip!
It's Alive!!
Tobacco Road, great vocals!
Fantastic musicianship !! - Thanks for this Guys !!
They should have had the lyrics up with this. What a fun jam!!
Hahahahaha
"How many instruments does he play?"
Now watch him with his brother Johnny on "Tobacco Road" and you will hear him sing also. His vocals match his prowess on instruments. You will be impressed.
Edgar and Len Russel , cool.
I hope the younger people (and everyone) out there who actually loves music realize and appreciate how much practicing for years and intense concentration is needed to become a musician (bass/drums/guitar/keyboards/vocals/sax/any other instrument) at these levels. It doesn't happen overnight( I mean the years of practice you have to put in to becoming a better musician) until one day maybe you or your band breakthrough. It also shouldn't happen to idiots that create all their sounds/instruments on a computer and then have the nerve to top it off with a fake auto tuned vocal. Hasn't that pretty much been happening in a large abundance for about 20 years. Bullshit music made by bullshit "artists". Cheers. Still love you guys. The canadian Queen nut, and a going on 40 years amateur musician.
Like the monster Frankenstein the song is made up of a lot of little pieces sown together to make one total piece
Check out Captain Beyond's Dancing madly backwords (on the sea of air), from the self titled debut killer album from 1972, on vocal Deep Purple's original singer Rod Evans, monster drummer Bobby Caldwell, Larry "Rhino" Reinhardt on guitar, and Iron Butterfly's Lee Doorman on bass, you'll won't be' disappointed.
I've seen a few LIVE versions of this track and each is better than the studio version.
Edgar Winter is just weird.❤️

Try "All tore Down" or "Rock And Roll " for starters, it will kick your ass as he is the real deal when it comes to Guitar Slingers. Come on guys DO IT !!!!
Yep. Rock Me Baby, Can't You Feel It, All Tore Down, Rock and Roll, and Let It Bleed is one of the best covers there is.
Good taste Huck.

As others have mentioned, the guitarist is Rick Derringer, who had a solo career as well. I believe his biggest single was Rock and Roll Hootchie-Coo.
Oh yeah thank you for covering this one! Great heavy groovy tune!
There is an abundance of video of great music from the seventies . Amazing musicianship. Try Winter Brother's "Tabacco Road" live.
Ohhhhh yeeeeessssss please Tobacco Road is amazing!!- these brothers solo or together are music geniuses
Patrick, just nudge him a few times hard when he keeps interrupting you and not letting you speak period. Omg! So patient you are!
Tobacco Road. Check it out. Both brothers do that song. CLASSIC.
The Americans and the Brits had a war about music. We all won.
Tobacco Road live. It will blow your minds!
I was a little kid when they would play this song on the radio. I thought it was weird and long. When Led Zeppelin would come on I would change the channel because I was told Led Zeppelin was satanic. Now when I hear these songs I think how amazing they are. My favorite group? Led Zeppelin lol
Your comments were On Point!
Edgar Winter is still alive at 74 and still plays. One of his overlooked but great bands was White Trash. Check it out: th-cam.com/video/BNYdiinUY8g/w-d-xo.html
Took me back to high school lol love it !!
Easily Top 10 bicycle horn solos, all time.
Love this and love your channel! I know I will always smile when I watch your reactions. Thanks for brightening my day!. 💖
There is still the talent out there for improv I think, but you asked “what happened”. Many younger people in the late seventies began to react against the looong Improv and soloing and intricacy and complexity of bands like Yes, Zeppelin, Tull, calling it pretentious….snd so you had punk…..back to simplicity and raw energy. And has time has passed, many have shorter attention spans. I cannot imagine most young people today dealing with a 20 minute guitar or drum solo. Hell, they can’t even take a long instrumental intro! And the more complex music these days, like symphonic metal, or creations from bands like Tool, make improvisation impossible Anyway, just some thoughts. I enjoy your platform!
Wow my heads fecked
Uh oh.... Live!!!!
Notice how Winters plays everything like a guitar... Here is is showing he can play it on a keyboard, but on the album it's on guitar.
We had this in the 1970's on tv music programmes and on albums released....Today we have wannabee instant fame stars on tv talentless shows dominating both tv and music stores who need vocoders to sing in tune and can't play an instrument to save their lives ...but ....they look good ! ! !
You guys would LOVE "Radar Love" by Golden Earring. Not quite as wild as this but loads of energy.
Monster song. There’s a reason it’s called Frankenstein! Ha Ha! Ok, guys I’m going to keep throwing this in my comments. I guarantee it because I want you to get more badass mind blowing stuff. This just Rocks HARD!
It’s at the peak of the bands power and popularity. One of their very best songs. JUDAS PREIST: Riding On The Wind off of the Screaming For Vengeance album. Do the studio version please. Again, I wouldn’t screw with you guys and suggest something sub par. That’s not my style. This song Slams and is nice high energy. Again, I personally guarantee it.
It's called Frankenstein because they stitched pieces together in the studio, forming this iconic monster.
Hey, Dudes.. You should check out Whitesnake. Legendary band with a lot of hits like "still of the night" and "here i go again" just to mension a few.
I think all that creativity became so high because America and the British were competing with each other all the time. British invaded America and that started it all.
React to the Edgar Winter Group singing Hang on Sloopy live also Edgar and Johnny Winters performing Tobacco Road live
Sadly, what changed wasn't the musicians, what changed was the industry. The money men took over from the artists.
Check out Children of the Sun by Billy Thorpe, it has similar vibes and is a really cool track.
Ballroom blitz by Sweet!
The Winters were very talented albinos.
