You always hit it right on the head!!!... that the reason it’s called Frankenstein!!!!..... it’s a mid - mass of all, every thing and the kitchen sink!!! Just like the creation Frankenstein ... and it’s GREAT!!!!
Edgar Winter is credited as the first musician to “wear” a strapped on keyboard and bring it to the front stage spotlight. A classic instrumental for sure!
He also somehow managed to have second, third and fourth instruments that he was equally good at. Tina Turner and her producer could have had anyone play the sax on 'The Best.' And they picked a guy who had the sax as his third instrument (if I remember the order right).
I saw Edgar Winter and Leon Russel in Benicia, CA, in the '90s! In a theater that sat 200 people. THEY DID FRANKENSTEIN AND STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND...
Edgar and Johhny Winter are both legends. Johnny was a Blues guitarist like no other. He and Edgar started out playing music together when they were toddlers. They had a plastic ukulele that they shared.Edgar grew tired of playing it and asked his parents for different instruments. He mastered all of them in short order. They played together for awhile as young adults, but Johnny decided he wanted to go strictly Blues guitar. He told Edgar there wouldn't be any saxophones playing in his band. So, Edgar went out on his own and began recording his own music. Janis Joplin and the Winter brothers all went to the same school together in Texas. There must be something in the water there.
Great reaction. I got to meet Edgar at a bar in Minneapolis. Talked to him outside during a break. What a cool dude what a great night one of my best all-time nights in a bar.
Just saw Edgar Winter in concert last night touring w/ Ringo Starr, Steve Lukather and many others. . .! He played Free Ride and Frankenstein and rocked it. . ! Fantastic night!
hey thanks for putting this up. youre right this is the best version. so clean and tight. rick derringer on guitar and hartman on bass, dont know the drummer but these guys were the best of their day. i think this is mid 70's. edgar is just pure music flowing out, incredible. the drum duet rivals that of the grateful dead. shows you how spoiled we were back then.
I just saw Edgar Winter this weekend as part of the Ringo Star Allstars tour. At the age of 76 he still rips this song. From 1973 to 2023 this is still a fun song to listen to. What is even more fun is all the reactions he gets from today TH-cam reaction videos.
Was a trip to see him and his brother together on stage under black lights ! look like ghosts when they would open their eyes . the pink eyes were eerie as hell ! almost every concert the other brother would show up .
I can’t believe I never watched this one until today. I’m so glad you watched a good live version or you may have had no idea what was happening. Back in the day I saw them do this live a couple of time. I laughed a little when you thought you recognized the song and said ‘maybe I’ll know when they start to sing.’ We’ll never know I guess! Great one, Harri.
Edgar Winter Group are legends for decades and Edgar is master on multiple instrubments was one of the industry my booked session musician, especially his sax work.
From a Texan to another Texan Band we lived down the street. They started as a garage band and they drove our parents nut. They gave me a love of music.
And on the same album this was released from , we have Autumn, one of the most beautiful ballads written, sung by Dan Hartman, the bass player. RIP Dan.
Interesting Note: That's Derringer playing it live with the band in the video, but Ronnie Montrose played on the album version, with Derringer credited as producer. In other words, the band just got even more killer. Chuck Ruff on drums.
There are a lot of musicians who can play multiple instruments, but they are usually known for one in particular. I myself play 7 different instruments. Prog rock requires only the best musicians and that's why I've been a massive fan of prog rock since I was 8 when I started playing the drums. I'm now 60 and still listen to Yes, Pink Floyd, Rush etc. No computers or auto tune, just raw talent. There was a black family living on my estate who has a son that had albinism and not wishing to sound wrong, but the poor guy looked very odd with white skin, African features and a bright ginger afro. A lovely family that went through some difficult times, as you can imagine back in the 60s. So pleased I stumbled upon your channel. You've just got yourself another subscriber. ✌️♥️🇬🇧
It's so cool to watch someone who I have no idea what their previous musical tastes are get turned onto the music I grew up with. I haven't seen anyone mention Chuck Ruff on drums, that was a heck of a performance! Rick Derringer on guitars, not only sang "Hang On Sloopy", he also wrote and sang "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo" which I highly recommend, even if you don't do a reaction video, at least just check it out, a live version preferably. Hope you continue to explore music new to you. 😁🙏
Edgar Winter is a master of the ARP2600 synth, and this video is an amazing showcase of that fact. The rest of his band being just as tight and on time as they were through what started as a jam track is also terrific.
Saw Edgar Winter live in Central Park Schaefer concerts in the early 70’s and when they played this they cut the lights and put neon green light on his hands… it was wild.. with Rick Derringer on guitar
I remember seeing them live and being 420 friendly, in the front of the crowd. Afterwards stopped at the corner store for a pack of smokes. A stray pure white cat was begging, so i got him 2 cans of food and he jumped in my car. I got a great friend that night and named him Edward.
I was fortunate enough to see The Edgar Winter Group live in 1974(?) with Bad Co. as the opening act. It shortly was after Ronnie Montrose had left the band and Rick Derringer was playing guitar, as he is in this video. Bad Co. had just released their first album a few months earlier, but were all over the radio. It was a great show, almost too much for my teenage brain to comprehend. Thanks, Harri!
My friend went to school with Edgar and his brother back in Texas. You said they were really really talented musically and involved in all activities he sure the hell is talented
There is just SO MUCH MORE to the Winters Bros discography and it is ALL funky as this; there are examples of either or both Winters' gettin' SO Down and Low, as to make this look like a Baptist church choir practice!!
Saw Edgar perform this at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto in 1972. He did the electronic noises thing for about 5 minutes or so it seemed. Thing that surprised me was the great sax. Epic night as the opening act was Frampton's Camel (yes that Frampton), and the headliners were Ten Years After. Tickets were CDN$6.05 with tax. Still have them. No deals like that any more.
Edgar, (here) was the first to incorporate a synthesizer into a portable keyboard. The guitar player here is one of the greats, Rick Derringer. Check out his live performance of Rock and Roll Hoochie Coo.
I saw Edgar Winter 3 times...one was with Johnny also. One had Rick Derringer as the warm up band, then he came back on & played the show with Edgar. Crazy good stuff there! "artists" today don't have the stamina for this stuff.
Edgar and his brother Johnny are both albino.Johnny isn’t in this one but they have a lot of songs together. Check out Tobacco Road and MoJo Blues. ☮️💜
Being albinos and growing up in Texas, they couldn't play out in the sun so they stayed inside. Johnny mastered the guitar and Edgar mastered everything else!
I used to lie on the floor with my head between two stereo speakers and listen to this cranked up high😂. Check out “Tobacco Road” with his brother, Johnny. Amazing!🌺✌️
@@dbx1233 Yes and yes 😂. I was around 19 then. I’m 67 now and, miraculously, don’t have any significant hearing loss and have switched from bong hits to edibles (recently legalized in my state). 🌺✌️
Harri it's about time you checked out at least one of the Winters time to react to Johnny Winter Highway 61 revisited from captured Live. Called Frankenstein because it was I believe over a twenty minute jam and when they were splicing tape to shorten song there were many pieces laying around another band member walk in saw it and replied looks like Frankenstein.Great reaction as always thanks
So, so, so much talent on that stage.
Absolutely Amazing
Simplemente brutal Edgar y su banda desde México....
Enjoyed your reaction .. yes, it was a real treat to experience that performance.
That was the BEST reaction,I've ever seen,you made my whole week,your the coolest!!! Pittsburgh,Pa Loves you
Incredible! Incredible! Incredible! Amazing musicians, great Edgar, great! Saludos desde México dear friend :)
Glad you came across Edger and his brother Johnny are insanely great!!!!✌👌👍😎
Monster hit! Classic instrument playing.
LOL Harry, great reaction! My jaw dropped also, what a great performance!
You always hit it right on the head!!!... that the reason it’s called Frankenstein!!!!..... it’s a mid - mass of all, every thing and the kitchen sink!!! Just like the creation Frankenstein ... and it’s GREAT!!!!
GENIUS......."ITS ALIVE....ITS ALIVE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was Incredible.!!
MASTERPIECE!!!
Edgar, a genius!!
That was absolutely amazing!
You did it again Harri, one of my favorites.
fantastic group in concert. The days of music not auto tune of today .
Edgar Winter Group, with Rick Derringer on guitar, was my first concert, in 1973, the same year this was recorded. Unforgettable.
One of my favorite Edgar Winter song was We All Had A Real Good Time
Now imagine seeing that in concert. Saw that once.

the first rock/jazz fusionists?????? Fabulous!!!!!
Texas loves the Winter Brothers.😉
Oh Yeah!!! By the way, you are my new favorite obsession, brilliant.
I seen this live it was utterly amazing
Wonderful
Great reaction. I got to meet Edgar at a bar in Minneapolis. Talked to him outside during a break. What a cool dude what a great night one of my best all-time nights in a bar.
Totally Badass....
Frankenstein was a perfect 10 - there is nothing better....period.
Went to see him in 1973 at Von Braun civic center in Huntsville Alabama, UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!
seen em a bunch, winter bros ....good times
That drummer was amazing...I am now 73 and saw them in 1970..I know I was there but I can't remember this! LOL
Yes, that drummer is a BMF!
When I was very young, I recall this song making my jaw drop to the floor when hearing it on a big stereo of my older cousin... haha
The best BEST. I remember seeing him and his brother in VA when I was much younger.
Welcome to the world of Edgar Winter! Your look of joy was wonderful and contagious! Thank you!
The guy playing bass in this video Dan Hartman. He did all kinds of music. His Disco stuff in the 70's, like Instant Replay, might be worth a listen
Brings back fond memories as I was 11 when this came out.
A+ reaction
A nice little dance number.
From 1972............I had it on 8 track back in the day.
Yeah man, I had a lot of 8-tracks too. There are those of us who remember those days.
Just saw Edgar Winter in concert last night touring w/ Ringo Starr, Steve Lukather and many others. . .! He played Free Ride and Frankenstein and rocked it. . ! Fantastic night!
just a legendary riff!
I've been fortunate to have known both Winter Brothers for years.❤

I watched george and was amazed also
edgar winter and his brother johnny are both very accomplished musicians.
I was at one of their live concerts I think in the 80s. Man this song tore the place up. It is a MONSTER that comes to get you. I left the show tired.
awesome

Funky like your shirt! Man what a jamm-
Wow..
I consider myself lucky to have seen both brothers and Rick Derringer as a group, duo and all with their own band.
Unbelievable how tight that playing was between the guitar player (Rick Derringer) and Edgar's keyboard and sax riffs were.
Thanks harri, I wish I could show this to the young people who tell me that the current music would "blow me away"

Rick Derringer on guitar and Dan Hartman on bass. Killer. 🎸
That rhythm section was just deadly.
Good Lord.
No way!!! Rick Derringer? Dang
I never knew that was Derringer!
Interesting Note: That's Derringer playing it live with the band in the video, but Ronnie Montrose played on the album version, with Derringer credited as producer. In other words, the band just got even more killer. Chuck Ruff on drums.

I rarely like listening to hard driving Rock guitars...but "Frankenstein" is the exception.
Nice choice, Harri.

I like how Winters let his drummer have the best part of the drumming send-off of the song at the end.
The total jam session!

Now that you’ve done Edgar Winter you need to see and hear brother Johnny Winter
I remember seeing them live and being 420 friendly, in the front of the crowd. Afterwards stopped at the corner store for a pack of smokes. A stray pure white cat was begging, so i got him 2 cans of food and he jumped in my car. I got a great friend that night and named him Edward.
GOTTA do Tobacco Road Live now!!
Edgar Winter is one of the best multi talented rock n rollers to ever live.
Yeah, Man!!!
I will always say, even after seeing them live, the studio version cannot be beat.
Edgar also worked the tee shirt stand, the concession stand and loaded all the gear too 👍🏻

Dude, you know that riff because it's on the radio every Halloween!!!
I’ve never seen that live wow
His technique on the keyboard would have may my piano teacher proud.
The end makes you wanna lay down your Ax, and light it on fire in tribute!

That is what I picture in my mind, when my buddy calls to jam.
That's why they are famous

Best magician ever. Watch this video. He can do it all. Today they are entertaintainers, they are not musicians.

Being albinos and growing up in Texas, they couldn't play out in the sun so they stayed inside. Johnny mastered the guitar and Edgar mastered everything else!
I always found it to be a bit of Kismet that two boys were born albino to a family named "Winter"
Definitely check out tobacco Road, very soulful.
@@hectorsmommy1717 I'd definitely take it as a sign lol.
@@eddiesell8577 YES!! Tobacco Road shows more of Edgar’s talent. Plus Johnny is in that one.

Oh, my gosh! I did that, too! May be why l have tinnitus today. 😕
I honestly don’t know why I don’t have any hearing loss (thank goodness)! I haven’t always treated my ears with caution!
You listened to this while you were high or the volume was high? Have you been hitting the bong again?
@@dbx1233 Yes and yes 😂. I was around 19 then. I’m 67 now and, miraculously, don’t have any significant hearing loss and have switched from bong hits to edibles (recently legalized in my state). 🌺✌️

The guitar player is Rick Derringer who had a hit on his own with 'Rock and Roll Hootchie Coo' and 'Hang On Sloopy' with the McCoys.
Derringer was also the guitar player for Weird Al Yankovic's "Eat It", which is why that guitar solo is better than the one on Jackson's "Beat It".
I did not know that!
👍
🤯
... and the bass player looks like Dan Hartman... yeah, THAT Dan Hartman :)
