Hard to believe there was a time when musicians in popular music were allowed to do more than just back up a singer.
So glad this was performed live to truly see the artist at work
Check out the version on The Old Grey Whistle Test. This is better.
@@charlottevictoria.hubbard7472 OGWT version also features Rick Derringer. Amazing.
I'm 38 years old and I seen Edgar Winter live
I was a teen I went with my dad outside Norway Michigan a little place called Marion Park Marion Park I don't I don't know. It in the U.P. Michigan
Exactly
This channel never lets me down and makes me feel like every day is Friday.
Music was better back then
Happy Friday!
UNREAL. 1970s Rock at its FINEST.
I still don't think anyone's done it better. Edgar Winter one day to his band: "So, I wonder if we could make a whole song out of the most bad-ass solo's ever conceived of?" The answer: Yes, and it was amazing!
Good old days, we will never see again. Music just isn't the same anymore not like 60,70s rock
Amen you are so right my man!
We could have easily said that 20 years ago. But now, it's oh, so much worse than that, bordering on surreal.
The Midnight Special and Don Kirshner's Rock concert were must watch tv.
Absolutely!! 👏👏👏
Right on !
This song is pure prog metal. Edgar still killing it live until this day
Edgar, which instrument are you going to play for Frankenstein?
Yes.
This is one of those songs that you have to see live to really appreciate Edgar Winter’s genius.
ALL of THEM!! 🎉🎉🎉
@darrenrunning5415 Perfect comment!
Edgar Winter, the Rahsaan Roland Kirk of Prog Rock!
Best comment!
I liked Frankenstein and especially Dan Hartman on bass, and Chuck Ruff on drums, great performance!
Thanks for mentioning the other members of the "group". Don't forget about Jerry Weems on the Gibson guitar. r. i. p.
I remember the day this album came out. Been a winner ever since! Has it really been fifty years?? We lost bassist Dan Hartman in 1994 at age 43. The drummer Chuck Ruff died in 2011 at age 60. Rick Derringer and Edgar are still with us.
Don't forget Jerry Weems on the Gibson SG r. i. p.
They Only Come Out At Night was the first record I bought with my own money as a 12/13-year-old in '73.
Same here...what a timeless classic!
My older teen brother had the album, I distinctly remember hearing Frankenstein song coming from his loud bedroom speakers, it was so trippy sounding and different. I visualized an alien space ship was landing, Fricken Amazing!!! 🤯
me too....
My parents got me that album and " Shock Treatment " for Christmas. My dad was less than receptive about my taste in music. I can still remember his statement about the album cover, but I cannot repeat it. My parents were good to me though. They got me whatever albums I wanted at Christmas. America, Grand Funk Railroad, Black Sabbath.
True musical magician. 🎩 🪄
Such cool looking guys! The 70’s looked awesome, it’s my favorite decade. Shame I was born in the 80’s 😢. My 16 yr old watches these old performances with me and she wishes she had gotten to be young person in the 70’s also.
My high school years were late 70s. It was glorious. 🙂
I got both the 60s and the 70s. Best music Era ever.😊
The music, the over saturated colors...awesome. Thanks to the technology that allows us to see this and more great concerts again and again.
Just 4 guys having a great time. RIP Dan, Chuck, and Jerry.
I found this on a search. Jerry Weems. Chuck Ruff's guitarist friend from Reno.
The most interesting fact about Jerry Weems is that he was AWOL from the Army Reserve during the They Only Come Out At Night tour. Quote from Edgar's drummer Chuck Ruff:
Anyway, we were in Winnipeg and Jerry and I took a few days off to go back to Reno. And while we were in the airport, Jerry disappeared off the face of the earth. Nobody knew where he was. Turns out that for two weeks he had been held in solitary confinement in a military stronghold. The whole time he was on the road with us he was AWOL from the Army National Guard. So they cut all his hair off. Then he hooked up with us
in L.A. and we did the Midnight Special."
The Edgar Winter Group played Winnipeg in September 1973. The Midnight Special program was recorded in October 1973. Here's a picture of Weems after receiving his Army National Guard haircut.
I'm impressed how quickly Weems picked up the EWG catalog and essentially matched the guitar skills of Montrose and Derringer, while also giving those solos his own twist. Having such a tight rhythm section (Hartman and Ruff) makes a great scaffold to improvise from.
When I saw this clip years ago the guitarist stood out to me. Didn't know for sure who he was but his playing was great.
Mystery man Gerry Weems plays the blistering solo in Ian Hunter's 'All-American Alien Boy.'
I was never a person to crank my radio but when this came on I would crank it up and try to blow my Kraco speakers in my gas guzzler Torino.
Fantastic instrumental and what a killer bass line👍R. I. P. Dan😢❤From 🇫🇷 🌹
Thank God I grew up in the late 60s and early 70s, we used to stay up until midnight on Saturday to watch all the performances by all the greatest artists of that period and of course Wolfman Jack as MC, great great music and memories!!
Synth noise and a bike horn? Truly ahead of the curve with that alone
Its great to see this in great quality! Makes me feel like were back in 73!
I just woke up, man... I feel like a teenager again. Thanks
The canned audience responses on this show always annoyed me. But it never kept me from really enjoying the performances. Midnight Special and Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert were the ONLY way to see the acts we loved to listen to on the radio. If you missed a show your only hope was to try to catch it in reruns. Recording or computer access wasn’t available just yet. Couldn’t just pull up whatever you wanted to watch on a whim. But now I can watch the shows I missed because I was too tired to stay awake back then.
Absolutely amazing performance! What a funky band.
Fabulous! So glad someone is preserving rock history. 49 years later I saw him perform this with Ringo's band.
Ringo’s All Starr Band’s doing a bunch of Vegas dates end of May!!
I love this song so much - that I have ever note, key, beat memorized like that of a Mozart Sonata :)! So cool! Love it!
Right there with ya!
@@secondstring Thank you SecondString, Rock on :)
One of the best concerts I ever went to was at the old Spectrum in Philly. On the bill was Edgar Winter's White Trash, Cold Turkey, and Black Sabbath. Fun times.
Jerry Weems on guitar!
A masterpiece of Rock
Oh, to have been there!! What a mind-bending trip that song is! I loved all the colors on them, too! Fantastic performance!🤯🤩💜
You were so blown away by it, you forgot that v. That's really saying something about how that affected you.
@@gregoryduncan3067 😂 No, that's just early morning, barely awake typing (but I missed that because my 👀 aren't so good these days.🙈).
Maybe you need some prescription 🕶️.
@@gregoryduncan3067 I do. In progress.🤓👁️👁️
Tout à fait d'accord avec toi, Stephanie😂🌹
One of the greatest live performances! So classic!
excellent jam!
¡Excelente!...
¡Los hermanos Winter!...
¡Maravillosos!...
👍👍👍👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹🌻🌻🌻🌷🌷🌷💐💐💐
This must have been one of the best performances of any artist that was ever on this show! They gave it there all! This is what concert goers want to experience when they pay good money for it. They did then and they still do!
I love a good synthesizer freakout. (:
An epic performance. Cheers! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️
The fact they can do something this legendary in a live venue is a stunning codification of their excellence.
Far out man!!
This is the best video recording I’ve heard of this from that era! Very well done! Thank you Midnight Special from bringing all these bands alive again!!
I could watch Chuck Ruff play all day. I always wanted to look like him when I play drums
Thank you Master!
Wow! What a performance. Had heard this song a million times. Figured most of it was studio craftwork. Thanks for bringing this back. With so many great performances on these Midnight Special clips, this one for me is the best.
I have read somewhere that the studio version was a Frankenstein nightmare of edits, but THIS! Pure brilliance!!!
As good a rock song as there ever was.
I can shut the internet off now that was GREAT
Estos 9 minutos me hicieron el día...espectacular!!✨️✨️✨️👌. Muchas Gracias The Midnight Special❤
i remember this on the radio in heavy rotation, back in the day
OMG what was that? Its called talent. Excellent performance! 😎
Just can’t see U2 covering this one anytime soon 🥳
Dan Hartman on bass. Almost as versatile as Edgar
One of the All-time Greats
I watched him perform this song at a Memphis musical festival in the early 90’s. He extended the song to over 20 minutes and took turns going around the stage and doing solos on each instrument. Incredible performer.
You must be talking about the Beale Street Music Festival (Memphis In May)!
I also watched the Edgar Winter Group. He Had On Dayglo Nailpolish on and He Played FRANKENSTEIN With His Syntasizer Strapped Around His Neck. That was At The Schaefer Music Festival Also in Central Park New York City. Just one of the many concerts that I have been to. 😮❤❤
Remember this like yesterday MOOG MOOG it!!
Love ! One of the best songs to smoke weed to !
To think this became a hit on AM radio. The 1970s was amazing how wide a variety of music could get air play. Like many OP, I love this song big time. P.S. Kudos to Jeremy Meeks, guitarist. Growing up I thought this incendiary playing must have come from Ronnie Montrose or Rick Derringer but clearly it was Jeremy ripping it up. Chapeau.
Jerry Weems* 😁
helluva song
Absolutely incredible performance!🤯😍
Just fucking wow!
There used to be a show on Channel 56 out of Boston called Creature Double Feature. They should have played this performance of Edgar Winter Group Frankenstein as one of the movies. The hip kids would have gone nutz! Love this performance so much. This should be in a time capsule to space, just labeled JWG Frankenstein 70s Music.
I loved Creature Double Feature!!
Double Creature Feature CH56
Like one of the cornerstones of my childhood in Mass
And this song too!!!
Saw Edgar play with Ringo's All Star Band, he hasn't lost a step.
Edgar is a freaking beast, man! He totally did a Frankenstein on that song...
Incredible LIVE performance of the greatest all time rock instrumental
Finally, one of my top three favourite Midnight Special performances. Keep'em coming.❤
THIS SOOOOOOOOOOO EPIC AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
Franken-STEEN or Franken-STYNE? 😳🌟👀⚡️🎷🎹🥁🎸💥
What huge knockers😅😊
Edgar Winter is an abby normal musician.
@@DaveShmoe 😖🤣🤣
👀 “Oh my god … Woof !!” 👀
“I sing 🎶 in ecstasy 🎶 after we do,
the “ wild thing !! “ 🎶
"That's FRONKEN-SHTEEN!"
"Ah sweet mystery of life at last I've found you!"
I was 13. had just gotten my first drum kit. first record I ever bought. this brings tears to my eyes.
This was played a lot for my first year of college in 1979. Edgar Winter born as an albino made him cooler.
Yes. I am entertained.
Multi-talented and LIVE... love it!
muy buena rola creativa y poderosa , para los amantes del buen rock.
Artists back then used to actually play their instruments live.
Boy them Winter boys sure could play! Is that young little Ricky Derringer on guitar? Funny how they clap everytime Edgar switches instruments. I saw Edgar do the same thing almost 50 years later in Pompano Beach Fl and sounded just as good!
Jerry Weems on guitar
That was the most talented band, especially the lead!
That was awesome
Wow so glad footage like this still exists,way cool ,Edgar is musical genius
Spectacular performance and that was just one song. Very talented band who should been the conversation of best rock band in their era.
By far the best sibling musicians to come out of Texas.
What an awesome live performance
So incredible, my all time favorite song, unreal!!
I used to have this as my ring tone it's a fantastic track!👍🙂
100 por ciento que show tan bueno para haber visto en aquella época es algún tipo de rock progresivo ????
Thanks you Burt Sugarman, and The Midnight Special!
THANK YOU Midnight Special!!
Winter’s in Ringo’s ALL STARR BAND playing Vegas bunch of dates end of May!!
I’m going!
horrible sound for the first 1:50 on EW keys then the crap kicked into gear! Just as I remembered! Thanks TMS!
Great performance!!!
Amazing ❤
Astounding!
Amazing!
Who's the guitar player? Obv not Montrose or Derringer, who was in between?
Jerry Weems
(Not Johnny Meeks)
I feel like I should know this guy, he is first class
@@jonhowe2960I know it’s been explained who he is
, Jerry Weems , the other guys look like they are in the 70s he looks like he’s from the 90s !
...mentioned ealier, Weems was in the Armed Services. Truthfully, I think his hair is a bit long for the Military. 😊
RIP Chuck Ruff and Dan Hartman.
Don't forget Jerry Reems, Randy Jo Hobbs, Ronnie Montrose and Edgar's brother Johnny!
@@davidg.9890 Jerry Weems*
Thank God you finally uploaded this! Is there MORE from Edgar to come forth? 💌💘💝💖💗💓💞💟❣❤🔥❤❤🩹💛💚💙💜💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Awesome!!!
Wow. Bobby Briggs on guitar.
Holy Moly!
Wow 🤯🤯. Awesome.
(Ronnie montrose like man in 2023)
That ain’t Ronnie !
❤
That guitar player looks like he travelled back in time from the 90’s.
According to an interview with drummer Chuck Ruff from the late 1990s (and mentioned in the comments of several other videos featuring the Edgar Winter Group’s performances on this channel), the guitarist in these appearances is Jerry Weems, who replaced Ronnie Montrose after he quit the band to form his own group, Montrose (which featured Sammy Hagar on lead vocals). Weems didn’t stay in the band for very long and was not a part of the lineup for the band’s next album, “Shock Treatment”; by that time he’d joined another band called Bonaroo that only existed for about two years. According to the same interview, Weems had at that point recently died from liver failure. So he’s been gone about 20 years.
But yeah…in an era where a lot of rockers had long hair, Jerry Weems stuck out like a sore thumb.
@@crystalp7242Thank you for Jerry Weems back story, loved his lead guitar playing here.
These guys blew Kiss straight into the dumpster
Those keyboards by Edgar are fucking insane! And everything else he touches
Blew my mind when he picked up that sax! Who'd have thought?
How was this not the very first upload? Absolute legend.
They're uploading them in order, by the year.
Awesome
