- this video was up already but the video and audio were a little out of sync so i edited it best i could. maybe im a bit OCD =/ hope the original poster doesn't mind.
ANYWAY, love this video!! what a band!!!!!!! enjoy
Who's listening in 2024?
Absolutely masters on music Edgar Winter and his late brother Johnny Winter.
I sm still 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Classic Rock at it's finest!! Fact's Bro!!
Still great after all these years.
I'm still..
Today, was the first time I heard Frankenstein. My mind is totally blown. This is approximately the coolest thing I have ever heard.
When music was real.
I heard this blasting from record store speakers and fell in love 😍.
multi talent edgar winter😄 i heard this already 40 + years ago
I distinctly remember the first time I heard this. The year was 1974 and I was in 6th grade. A huge roller skating rink with a state of the art sound system had just opened and I had the whole place to myself. Problem is I could barely skate. Sure enough the speakers began to blast this along with strobe lights during the drum solos and synth filter oscillation near the end. My senses were completely overwhelmed so I just fell on the floor to admire the coolest thing I had ever heard in my life !
@@johnmarino4360 I was 4th grade! What struck me most, was the timbales/latin drums, "duking it out" with the "western" drums....now, all these years latert, I have my own LP set, inspired by "Frankenstein" all those years (decades!) ago....
This is a prime example that the 70s had the greatest era of music grew up with this jam decades later it STILL packs that punch and rocks
Yes I too grew up listening to this, born in 1965 so glad I didn't miss out on the greatest music on earth 🌎 👑🏆👑🏆
As a bass player, this mix makes me very happy
Tour manager: "there's no way you'll pull this off live"
Edgar Winter: hold my keyboard, sax, drums, beer
kkk
you forgot cocaine, weed, acid and pcp...
Fn awesome comment 🤣🤣🤣👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼
The guitar player is Ronnie Montrose of Montrose,Frank Zappa ,(zoot allures ),and The Red Rocker ,Sammy Hagar ……!!!!!
@@scottmccullough4267
Rick Derringer
There's something so funny to me about the other three band members doing their thing, jamming out, and then Edgar just running around the stage grabbing different instruments to play. Absolute madman.
That’s not a bad description, actually! 😂😂. He has mad skills too!
A very composed madman., he doesn't miss a beat amazing
Dan Hartman on bass and Rick Derringer on guitar... no slouches themselves
Awesome performance
His brother is a bit of a genius to
I saw this group live in the mid-1970s. On this cut while EW was dancing around the stage, he got so Fucked Up, he had to stop and start again. The crowd went wild!
Music teacher to young Edgar: "What instrument do you want to learn to play?" Young Edgar: "How many do ya got?"
Exactly
Or "All of them."
Which instrument would you like edgar ? Keyboard? Saxophone? Drums?
Edgar: Yes
Hold my beer ,,Ed will show you
😎 amazing
As a kid I waited for hours and hours for this to play on the radio so I could record it with my cheap ass tape recorder. Worth every second.
.....the good ole days. Working that pause button like a NASA engineer..
I remember those days well!
I think we all did only I liked it with the spaceship sound but this was cool too. :)
Hey I used to do that too!
I did the same thing. Too cheap to buy a 45 man I'm old ☮️ .
The most spectacular rock performance ever. End of story. Period.
Get outta town. Nothing but unashamed showmanship!
@@Katehowe3010 ... Huh. Typical ABBA junkie.
It's tied with The Vanilla Fudge on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1968 ... th-cam.com/video/3dJO47d26kc/w-d-xo.html
You have to remember the time period. This was on "primetime, mainline, white bread TV". It is a Supremes hit song that the Fudge psychedelicsized. I got a contact high from this as a teen in '68.
hardly 🤣
I agree. This is my go to song.
Edgar Winter: keys, alto sax, percussions
Rick Derringer: guitars
Dan Hartman: bass; also a great guitarist and had a huge disco hit, "instant replay"
Chuck Ruff: drums (R.I.P.)
Saw this lineup live and was blown away!
"I can Dream about you" Dan Hartman? They look similar, that's an awesome bit of information, thank you!
@@matterpimp3146 yes, same guy! Hartman wrote "Free Ride" for EWG too. He had a lot of great songs :)
Dan Hartman fronted a local band from Harrisburg PA called the Legend back around 1969. The guy was an amazing guitar player and singer, really killed it on Good Times, Bad Times. Never missed a show at the Railroad House in Marietta when they were there. "Good Times". 👍
EDIT: How good was this guy? When do you see a bass player playing lead?
What happened with Ronnie Montrose? He was on that album, They Only Come Out At Night.
@@ronlemons5316 he went on to form his own band. He released a few “Montrose” solo albums too.
I heard Edgar also worked the concession stand for a few minutes during this performance.
😂😂😂
I heard he made all the bands outfits and did their hair. :)
LOL and parked cars as well. After watching this, I'd believe he did everything
@King Rottennoggin if you want it done right ya gotta do it yourself
that rules hard
I was fortunate , when I lived in California 1980 near San Jose I got to spend a week with Johnny Winter and his Band from Santa Cruz to San Francisco. Talking with him was like talking to an old friend. RIP Johnny
I was 12 years old with my portable record player and a stack of 45's I took with me almost everywhere I went. For the guys I would play this, Doobie Bros, Elton John, Golden Earing, etc... For my girlfriend I spun Donny Osmond, Tommy Roe, Jackson 5, and The Stylistics singing You Make Me Feel Brand New on the porch swing with my arm around her. This music takes me back in a real way.
"so what instruments do you play?" "yes"
Good answer! *clap, clap, clap* "Let me see, "yes"! *ding* Number one answer! Play or pass?
magnumtrooper17 That's Awesome! "What instruments...." "Yes." Too Funny!
I play the pussy lips cuz bitches be spreading they legs after hearing a jam like that
lol
Survey says.... YES!
I saw Edgar Winter at Berkeley Community in 1974. Towards the end of the show… Johnny Winter runs on stage 🤩! It was like no other show stopper. Rick Derringer and Johnny dueled it out! Life was good!
This is one of my favorite Karaoke songs of all time. Nobody can mess up the lyrics or sing off key.
Lol, we are playing this in our band and I like to say that I am singing on it
Actually, there's a version of this song that has a verse that sounds like yodeling.
If I remember correctly.
Someone could attempt a bagpipe solo in their cover. ;3
@@mikehall3489 Correct me if I'm wrong, I believe the the song you are thinking of, is called "Hocus Pocus" by FOCUS🌝🎵
Ur silly! But I do LOVE IT!
Edgar! Keith Emerson! These were my guys! I was 20. Now I'm 70. They're STILL my freekin guys!!! 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹✌️✌️✌️🥰🥰🥰
Same here! 72. Also Robin Trower. 🤘🤘
@@ManyfiresWoman Rick Derringer
These were some of the best years in music. I was 11 years old when Frankenstein came out. Great song!!
Yo 67
Dan Hartman on bass. He ended up leaving a huge legacy in music. Big hits & produced & played on a bunch of records for some heavy hitters. Amazing musician
I heard this band with Johnny Winter @ the Felt Forum in NYC. They blew the roof off. My first concert. Johnny played Johnny B Goode after this and the entire place went completely apeshit. I was standing on my seat with both fists in the air screaming for a third encore--- and so was everybody around me.
"The reason Johnny and Edgar stopped playing music together is because they started to cause a vortex of riffdom that theatened to destroy the planet everytime they got together" - Professor X
The Velo In The Vale
The Velo In The Vale line ear event
A sad but necessary sacrifice
Alas how bittersweet.
which x men movie is that from
I believe this.
In 1973 I was in the airforce and stationed in mountain home afb and I traveled 50 miles north to Boise Idaho and went to a club called snoopies and I was blown away by edger winter doing a show playing Frankenstein with acid blotter screens. It was amazing to see I never heard of them before and what A experience ❤
Edgar is truly a wizard. I mean he is TRULY a real wizard. Just watch! Ungodly talented!
"They Only Come Out at Night" is one of my favorite albums. And, I just love this video. It's a classic performance of Frankenstein...😮
this could not be accomplished without long hair!
@@julioalbertoherrera1339 ha let me just get the powder and paint to add maximum effect lol
Albino white long hair.
And bell bottoms!
And he still has it!
Facts
Every Musician on that stage was a freaking genius at their craft.
'S
How bout it. Dan Hartman is so underrated.
Considering the age of the synthesizer, was dawning, using analog technology was amazing to accomplish. Moog knew what was coming, Edgar achieved and propelled it forward light speed
CRAFT. something these kids don’t know nothing about.
Rick Derringer was a beast.
I turned my 2year old grandson on to this video, he is absolutely mesmerized every time we watch it.
Sounds like you just guaranteed that you’ll raise a grandson with excellent musical taste.
72 years young and I still get a rush every time I hear this! Geezers in my age group know for a fact we had the best music of all time!
I'm and have to agree with you!
The best pants too. R.I.P. bell bottoms 1968 - 1982
you lucky bastards
I am 66 & saw them live in the mid-70s. As guest to ELP.
Lady Geezerette here ~ total agreement!!! Saw them do this in a tiny venue in Boston around 1972 from 10 feet away. My ears are still ringing!! ❤️✌️
I’ve played with Edgar at a beach club in Buffalo NY about 20 years or so ago and he is every bit of crazy talented as anyone out there. He plays every instrument out there like a true virtuoso. He was playing a gig next door to us and came over to watch us then just jumped right in and never missed a beat. He is the master of all trades and second to none.
Well he’s purged all the engrams and is fully clear.
What an awesome experience that must have been!
I have always been a fan of Edgar and Johnny Winter ♥ Truly excellent musians
Hey Mary, i know both Johnny & Edgar too. Cause i was good friends of JimmySmith and went to Studio jams & rehearsals with him a few times. Anyway, both Johnny & Edgar were actual genius' and did you know that "Mr.GreenJeans" of CaptKangaroo morning show was actually Johnny & Edgar's father??
@@UltimateForceMarketing A long-running but incorrect rumor claims Brannum was the father of musician Frank Zappa, apparently because of a Zappa composition titled "Son of Mr. Green Genes" on his 1969 album, Hot Rats.
Both Edgar and Johnny were such incredibly talented musicians.
RIP Johnny.
Glad I can say that I'm old enough now to have been able to enjoy it then, when it first came out!! Now: 10/31/2023 Then: May 1973. !! ✌♥️
MIND-BLOWING PERFECTION!🤯THEY DON'T DO IT LIKE THIS ANYMORE💕👍🏽
Edgar and his late brother Johnny are stone cold geniuses... I love them both!
Amen! saw Johnny live soo good. Love the blues
Not to .mention Rick derringer
Dam straight bro they amazed me when I was 10 and everyone was listening to zeppelin and van halen.
@@randquadrozzi5850 Van Halen suxs.
Fun fact: Edgar was also the camera man.
Haha!
Best comment ever
And simultaneously sold peanuts to audience members . . .
He also cut everyone's hair while playing chess and making ice cream for the roadies. 😋
...and Scientologist.
This performance just drops my jaw every time. Possibly the greatest rock instrumental ever. The main hook is simple and catchy, the b section with the sax is gorgeous then he dazzles you with breathtaking skill at everything he touches. Who the hell is THIS good at THIS MANY instruments??? Not many.
Nobody in today's generation and music that's for sure
I just saw Ringo and His All Starr Band last month and Edgar played this and was super energetic jumping around the stage
Same here two weeks ago I hope I have half his energy when I'm 75.
This was a badass song when I heard it for the first time in 1973, still today it makes me smile when I hear it, thanks Edgar.
Bahaha, a badass song says the guy with Gene as a thumb nail,, too funny!!
Rick Derringer is so underrated, he deserves a better place in the rock universe.
He is great here, though. Awesome guitarist!
Derringer is forever in my book one of the fastest and coolest guitarists ever!
@@markbiedermann7467---He was great, & quite underrated. I saw Derringer in concert too. At 16-years-old, in Dallas. I have all the ticket-stubs from the concerts I saw. Wish I could sell them.
The Winter brothers, & Stevie Ray Vaughn were all from Texas too.
@@davidbell7005 yeah!
Much more respect knowing Winters was playing multiple instruments during that time. What a revelation, I never knew until now. He was all over the place acting as three musicians by himself. Wow, that really blows my mind, I can’t give him enough credit for that. Thanks for sharing this video a real eye opener for me. I always love and enjoy this song but to now realize the secret to their madness watching this video is priceless.
Truth Indeed AMEN 🙏 Greatness that, unfortunately, we will not see again.
*Winter
Those were the days my friend we thought they'd never end! PEACE
This is probably the best Rock instrumental ever made
Second only to Hocus pocus by Focus.
Pete Townsend is a little jealous.
One of the bedt
Many years ago I worked as a painter for the Physical Plant of a university. I was the new guy on the crew and so was given the job of painting the interior of the morgue and anatomy lab because no one else wanted it. I was alone in the place. To force myself to get over the creeps I turned on the local classic rock station and then started to unzip a body bag on a gurney to make myself look at a cadaver. Just then this came on the radio. Made my day.
Wait, did it come alive and y'all rockd out?😉😎
Hey, I remember you. You were wearing jeans and a blue t shirt.... I was the cadaver. Ned (the cadaver)
It was music like this that made me wanna play drums. Edgar Winter, Cream, Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Montrose, Thin Lizzy, Sabbath, Grand Funk…….. the list goes on and on and on and on.
This is when talent ruled the music scene.
So true
I remember this song on the radio when I was a kid... It was epic then and still is! Recently shared this video with a teenager friend just learning music. I thought it would help form some inspiration since it's so authentic. Hopefully the kid will dig it and jam out to it instead of that Katy Perry crap the kids listen to these days!! ( sorry Katy😑, I do like that "Last Friday night " song tho) . Rock song Frankenstein will be forever original and a Classic example of profound musicianship.
YES ME TOO! started playing in 6th grade because this song was on 77 WABC AM in NY
Wow absolutly fantastic,so glad i grew up with such great music,unlike today,it all gave me my calling card go be a musician,thank you the 60"s and 70""s for all the great music,
OMG Yes! My spirit belongs to these music eras late 1960s & 70s 🏆👑🏆👑❤️🔥❤️🔥
Everyone: "How many instruments do you play?!"
Edgar: "Yes."
Hello from Australia those where the times of real lyrics and music
Edgar was a real guy as his answer.
All the instruments. Lol
same response was given about Geddy Lee, appropriately
ghaAAAAAAY
Cruising in my 69 Dodge Charger with my Sparkomatic 8 track and JBL house speakers in the trunk.Thanks for taking me back to 1980
Just saw him with Ringo Star, at 75 years of age he still has it, still plays and sounds awesome a real treat to watch, I can only hope I have his energy at 75.
STAGE WAS SO HOT I STARTED TO CALL THE FIRE DEPT.
I never realized that Edgar Winter was such an amazing musician. I'm in awe of what he did in 1973.
Check out journey to the center of the earth----🎶🎶Geniuses!
Wtf this is rock at its finest kids not this crap today
Jesus. What a performance. Back from an era when artists played their instruments. Outstanding.
people still play instruments
One finger does it all instruments 80% of the time today.
Hell sometimes people are standing in a stadium listening to one guy playing music on his laptop. That would have been an SNL skit back in this era.
Oh no, where did all the bands go? There aren't and rock groups playing bars every weekend? The Rolling Stones aren't STILL on tour? C'mon, just because there are other new genres out there that are different doesn't mean everything you love isn't still there... most of the bands from this era have put out an album this decade. With today's music you don't even have to get with the times... all the old acts are still playing, there's new rock bands popping up every week AND there are new and different styles of music. Why does it only have to be the stuff you want? Its funny how the once rebellious generation that eschewed their parents music have become their parent and can't understand the music of today. Stop sounding old and bitter and just listen to what makes you happy!
+James Siegel couldn't have said it better myself.
I love it how Edgar and Chuck are so in tune with each other on their drums that they just naturally anticipate what the other will do next. It’s seems so effortless for them to have that level of communication.
The interplay they did was totally awesome.
Oh yeah they’re locked in , and Edgar doesn’t try to take the spotlight, he’s in full on support mode on fucking timpanis , IN A ROCK AND ROLL BAND ! The first and likely the only time timpani’s have ever been part of a rock show other than any other time this band did it lol
@@steveobro49 Timpanis? Where you see any timpani? Those are timbales
I guess the timpani were used by Queen
that's a true musical ear and perfect timing - musical geniuses , naturally gifted
At age 59 here in 2023, I consider myself so blessed that I'm old enough to have enjoyed this incredible musicianship when it was first released, and how well it has stood the test of time.
Those of my generation were fortunate to experience the absolute best period of music-the mid 1950s through the very early 1990s...everything from rockabilly (Eddie Cochran, Link Wray) to the British Invasion (Beatles/The Kinks/Rolling Stones) to early hard rock/metal (Jimi, Cream) to prog rock (ELP, Yes, Jethro Tull, early Genesis) to mainstream hard rock (AC/DC, Van Halen, Def Leppard) to Southern rock (Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker) to electric blues (Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jeff Healey) to hair metal (Whitesnake, Warrant, Ratt), and so on.
We were also gifted with phenomenal musicians like James Taylor, David Bowie, Carole King, Peter Frampton, and countless others...to paraphrase a famous line from "The Blues Brothers", "Y'know so much of the music we hear today is pre-programmed electronic trash, we never get a chance to hear master musicians practicing their craft anymore"...truer words were never more applicable to the garbage that's been thrown at us for the past 25 years...for example, consider the disgusting, talent-less junk that is modern hip-hop, and put that next to Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner"...in 2 minutes and 6 seconds, she paints an accurate, vivid picture of modern life-no AutoTune, no filler, no gross "lyrics".
It's truly sad that 99.9% of the stuff passing as modern music these days will not have the same staying power 50 years from now.
You were 8 when this was released
You are correct sir!
Today's music sucks.
Where is Zappa in that lineup? Specially since his music goes through every genre possible, including jamming instrumental songs like this one.
@@Miguel...160 I'm just a year older than he is, and I remember hearing the single on the radio all the time. It hit #1 in May 1973. I don't know how old you are, but in the 70's, there was always a radio on, especially riding around in the car. When I was in summer camp, the counselor's transistor radio was playing at least 5 hours a day when we were in the cabin.
I know the words to almost every top 40 song from the 1970's.
I was 10 in '73. My Mother yelled, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THAT RADIO?
I believe that.
To funny!
Same here.
Still playing music so loud that the cops show up!
lol
@@douglasstrother6584 my neighbor called the cops and they arrested him for lack of rocking in what the city clearly zoned as a rock only neighborhood.
Edgar also drove the equipment truck there, setup all the stuff, tore it down, and drove it back. They had a catering table there too, and yep, Edgar cooked all the food and set it up. I love this extra long version. So damn good.
😂😂😂
Classic party tune bringing back memories of the 70’s high school skip off basement rock out days! ☮️✌️💜
Legend has it that the band is still playing this song, and has been continuously since 1973. 🎹 🎸 🥁 🎷
TH-cam just had to cut it off after 9 minutes and 18 seconds because…well, I don’t know why. 🤷🏻♂️🤪🤣
Went to an outside concert in Oklahoma, was raining and lightning cracking all around, after Robin Trower played, many left thinking the show was over, then out came Edgar Winter and the show had just begun, he said if we were brave enough to stay, then he would play, then FRANKENSTEIN with lightning flashing all around...Wife and I will NEVER forget the incredible show they put on for us....ONE OF A KIND MUSICIAN!
Tom Hutson I bet y’all were fk up . I was high as hell
Aw man that sounds spectacular
OMG!! How perfect was that moment in your life?!!
When I saw this, I thought of Robin Trower. Interesting synergy there.
Wow!!
I just saw Edgar perform this tonight at a casino near me. If he’s tired of playing that song after 50 years it doesn’t show.
I was kept away from this at time, now,no one in the world can stop it, hope it never ends😊
Who needs Words..... when you have a Super Cool "Jam Session " like this ??!!👍🎸😎
I'm 62 this year. This performance takes me back to my youth, when me and my running buddies would all pitch in for gas money so we could pile into one of our cars and and just cruise...listening to Edgar Winter, Johnny Winter, Zeppelin, etc...no cell phones, no internet, just buds hanging out, smoking a little weed, laughing, talking about girls, cars, loving music and loving life. Jesus, what a great time that was.
I'm 63 and I might have been with you. Great times.
@@Hopegirls4 Smiles! You were, my Brother...
62 and you just brought me right back to those days sir..Bravo!
I’m 70.....I was and I’m still a music maniac! Brings back some great memories. Still have all my vinyl and still listen to them. Had a 8-track player in my 67 Chevelle, never turned the music off. Great video....first time seeing this! Great!!!
Yeah the good ole days...gas was 22 cents a gallon , a pack of marlboro red was 50 cents and you could go to a 6 band concert for example same-day show 15 bucks got you marshall tucker doobie bros, heart, cheap trick , pat travers and headlining was journey! Northern california's mountainair concerts were the best or day on the green in oakland or in san fran...long time ago. It didn't get much better than that
Happy birthday Dan Hartman.
December 8 1950. RIP
Ten years before my own birthday. This is longer live version., the originsal was even longer, nd they cut u it uo,
i freakin love him and would have LOVED to have met him...look at this energy!!!!!
Never saw this live til now, had no idea Edgar Winter was such a multi-instrumental virtuoso !! Blown away !!! Wow just Wow !!!
77 yrs old, and remember riding in the back of a pick up listening to Frankenstein! Always loved Edgar Winter Group!
Edgar is a music's musician. That whole thing was impossible....just impossible
Chuck Ruff was a excellent drummer. The guy could flat out play, Just Wow!!!!! Perfection!!!!!
I couldn't stop watching him. Perfect.
dam straight, listen to the accents on that snare drum
And he was spot-on with the bulb horn! The only place this song lacked was that it needed a little more cowbell.....
Absolutely. Reminds me a lot of Mitch Mitchell’s style
thanks, i was just wondering who that was .......he is excellent.
Wow!! I amazed this band was into making Dub sounds back when i was only 3years old.... These guys were ahead of their time... Dub music is my passion and Dub sounds brought me this way.... Totally amazing sounds back then.... Bravo
This song came out in my childhood. I still find myself hoping that guitarist found the man of his dreams, all these years later ...
The 70s were our peak, creatively, humanely ...
Look at us now ...😢
I know it's hard and very depressing
Lord have mercy...what absolute musical talent.
Was about 6 years old back in the early 70s when my older sister took me to the town square to our local record store. The clerk was getting a 45 out of a file cabinet for my sister when I recognized the word “Frankenstein” being a horror fan as most little boys were. Thought it was one of those audio/story records and nagged her to buy it for me. Been a rock fan ever since
I was 23 when this came out & after 50 years it hasn't lost one second of it's hypnotic & musical magic... bravo👏
Tic TOC! Tic TOC,!
@@KennethDawson-zv8rn 11 o'clock tick tock. U2 @ RedRox
The talent of this band is unreal. You start with Rick Derringer, his phenomenal rhythm guitar playing that harmoniously flows well with Edgar Winters sax and Keyboard solos. Dan Hartman bringing the funk on the base, anchoring the band well, Chuck Ruff keeping up the beat with Edgar, then going off like a mad man on the drums. You can't forget the Incomparable Edgar Winter who plays three different instruments. One of my favorite bands of the 70's.
Edgar Winter, absolute genius! So much talent in a man! His band, superb too. Teens of today should be compelled to listen to ( and watch) videos like these for them to learn what music really was. Long life to Edgar!
Kids actually like todays music. Buttercup. They don't dance if they don't love it with a smile on their face. Duhh!!!
The drummer ain't no chump either
Great song. I'm a one man band on youtube. Hope you can enjoy one of my songs.
Totally mind blowing - this is one of the mile stones in rock music. a monster performance that has yet to be beaten. EDGAR WINTER is AWESOME!
Still an all time favorite i was only ten years old at this time now that is music that stands the test of time thank you
Imagine the smile on my face at twelve years old, standing twenty feet from stage.great times😊
I saw them live in 1973 and I have to say that it was probably the best live show I saw in the 1970's. The Edgar Winter Group's musicianship was astounding.
Holy Crap!!! Edgar Winter was one talented MF!!! I miss the 70's... when talent like this was common. No one these days can shine the shoes of Edgar Winter, Roy Clark, Billy Preston, Neil Peart, ...
I was 9 in 1973, and I remember rocking out to this song and asking my mom to buy the album for me. I showed it to her, she made some shocked expression and flatly said, "No."
That was a different time! I heard plenty of "No," but I survived. And my love of rock and roll did too!
Parents today need to act like parents instead of playing the role of buddy and pal.
Magic!! Time gone by! Some of us have not forgotten!! Great!!!
There were only a few television shows that dared to allow a group to perform live, and then show it in it's entirety. This is one those amazing moments in television. And, yes, the Edgar Winter Group was AMAZING!
F ing Yea!!
Blew some Limey minds, eh?😉
what show was this on? 9 min?? i doubt it.
@@weddingguy3271 old grey whistle test. British shows are different that way..
This is the correct amount of rock and roll.
+timberrecycling One could ask for more, but then one is not sure you can better this song as I would give it a 10/10 and refuse to debate that score with anyone. If you don't hear genius in this song, go back to Kayne, or stick to your classical music ( no knock against classical music, only against people who may think it's somehow more noble than rock.)
I don't get the Kanye thing, I don't see even a glimmer of anything "genius" about his, well for the lack of a better term, "music". I do know he is the biggest douchebag on the planet , that much I'll give him.
wtglb haha well he is responsible for the production of the greatest hiphop album ever made (Reasonable Doubt) so yea. there is that...
Jayz's Reasonable Doubt...greatest hiphop??? That is an insult to groups such as: Nas with Illmatic, Wu Tang's Enter the Wu Tang, TuPac and Me Against the World, Beastie boys, The Notorious B.I.G. and so on.
Jayz isn't even worth trying to say top 10 and West is a bitch-punk whose 'watch me act like little girl' routine is the only thing keeping him fresh..
Yea bro cuz hating on shit and comparing your own taste and opinion over facts? I aint here for no salty argument but the basis is RD was a baseline for a whole SWATHE of artists after it. Wutang are the greatest. RZA took samples and went in heavy and produced a fantastic sound. After this Kanye did the same but even heavier with samples instead using them and his voice to layer tracks. Dnt jus reel off some albums and think you're right because we both are and both are not....
What a monster! All over the stage, all the instruments, the synth effects, first guy to hang a synth keyboard around his neck with a guitar strap... just WOW!!!
And it looks HEAVY!
That must have been such a pain afterwards...
You can hear the pitch change as he moves the keyboard around. The frequency shift is probably due to the reverb springs moving.
@@craigkopcho7394 There is a pitch bend control on keyboards. There are no mechanical reverb springs in a synth keyboard.
@saxmusicmail how much you think that keyboard weighed in at. What, 20 or 25 lbs.
WTF…OMG this has to be seen again and again…heard this so many times but forget it’s a four man band and Winters is just killing it… he is the mad scientist!!!
Thus the name of the song.... "Frankenstein".
I was a kid in elementary school in Beech Grove Indiana and the p.a. announced that we were all to go to the gym.
These guys were set up and played Frankenstein for us!
I was a music buff already but that pushed it over the edge.
I have never gotten tiered of playing music.
Thank you Edgar Winter Band.
It was very thoughtful and generous to give that time and effort to our elementary school.
Freakin elementary school?!!! That's one cool principal :)
Your principal had joints in his desk drawer rolled by the janitor.
That’s the coolest thing I ever heard
I bet the entire student body jammed the gymnasium that day! Cool 😎 school and cool 😎 kiddos. The school 🏫 house of readin', writtin' rithmetic, and rock🪨roll. 🎸
3:40 "Finally, we're back in the driving seat!"
Edgar: "I shall now challenge the drummer"
1977 Lo vi en vivo en concierto aquí en el Coliseum de Houston ( ya no existe este lugar ) Edgar orgullosamente Texano.
wow. Always loved this tune but had no idea how insanely talented Edgar Winter is, amazing performance.
I should be ashamed of myself...I'm 56 years old and this is the FIRST TIME I have seen this! This is freakin' GOLD.
I've posted it several times myself. Whsts smazing id its all Genious. They cteated all of this with the technology available at the Time.
Well, "Old Grey Whistle Test" was a British TV show, so you may not have seen this performance when it aired.
I got a toy guitar that had some songs on it, this was on it and became my favorite. Then my dad showed me the actual song
Don't worry my friend as they say better late than never
Paul Sarna I was lucky that this song was a used in our local radio station between programs or pauses, it took me 30 years to find out what song it actually is !!! We’re in the same boat here ...
This is live, kids. To be able to replicate something live, that you created in the studio after hours upon hours of trying to get just so, is utterly amazing.
Yep. No overdubs, no multi-tracks. Just kicking freaking ass all over the stage.
That is Exactly what I'm talk'n 'bout.
Live Beatle clips are just the same. There's a 26 (?) minute live clip on You Tube. I think it's in Sweden.
These players were so on track.
They LOVED to play. Probably did 3-5 hours a day in "rehearsals"
@@swesttttt no pre-sets on the synth either. you had to build up the sound every show. set your high and low spots on the filters etc. to make it repeatable. this stuff would take over your life if you didn't have a great tech to help.
Step aside and let the pros show you how it’s done.
It got its title because of the arduous editing that went into the song; it became a monster when it was pieced together in the studio. Said Winter: "When we were editing it in the studio, back in those days when you edited something, you physically had to cut the tape and splice it back together, so it was all over the control room, draped over the backs of chairs and the couch. We were making fun of it, trying to figure out how to put it back together, saying 'Here's the main body; the leg bone's connected to the thigh bone...' Then Chuck Ruff, my drummer, says, 'Wow, man, it's like Frankenstein.' As soon as I heard that, I went, 'Wow, that's it!' The monster was born."
Rick Derringer is an awesome guitarist, plus he’s so darn cute 🥰
Early 70s, my siblings and I had records of Disney soundtracks, Peter and the Wolf, Dr Suess, and Edgar Winters "Frankenstein". This is the one I go back to the most 😄👍 Thanks for sharing!!
Sounds as fresh today as it did in 1973.......terrific musicianship 🎶
Great song. I'm a one man band on youtube. Hope you can enjoy one of my songs.
Oh Yes!,Truth Indeed ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That's still a cool song. Beats the crap out of the mess today.
Still gives me the chills every time I hear it! Fantastic 😊
Must have been so much fun being apart of this band. They all look so enthralled with what they’re doing, and they’re just smiling away at each other.
My grandma' whent to school with the winter brothers in the 50s
The Winter brothers and I went to different schools together also.
Oh thats cool and sweet. Their music is brilliant and timeless.
Had a contractor friend/ part Cherokee flutist, later in Atlanta, that went to high school in Beaumont with the Winters.
Cool
Fun fact: Edgar was also the bus driver, the teacher and the school principal.
Sick talent. Simply couldn’t be duplicated today .
Bullshit.
I was on my way to a Van Halen Party. I didnt wanta get all drunk and have to drive home afterwards so pulled over and rolled a doobie. Terrible sugar weed. Ya had to keep relighting it but it wasnt bad. I just took a few hits and was about to pull out and this song came on. Id heard of it but hadnt heard it. I was a Johnny Winter fan but didnt know much about Edgar. The song took for ever and i couldnt seem to function for about 20 minutes. I was l o a d e d. I got to the party. There was cars lined up and down the sreets for 3-4 blocks in all directions and the street in front of the party was a parking lot. It was moving. I managed to crawl to the front of the house. Eddie and the guys were behind the pool. I saw my road dog Taylor so I parked on the lawn open my doors and blasted my stereo. The house was bathed in a really bright light. I was just high enough to start suspecting Aliens had discovered the Van Halens. I looked up and realized it was TinkerBell and she had a loud speaker announcing " this is an illegal assembly.please begin to disburse in an orderly fashion. In one hour we will begin begin pulling people over. We have seven tow trucks. More on the way. This is..... We had fun. That wouldve been around 73-74. We had alot of fun.
Absolute genius. Edgar was a beast.
