To squeeze all that talent into one man is unfathomable. I know Edgar is an icon but the fact that he isn’t mentioned up there with artists like Prince is a crime.
Edgar Winter is more than a pop icon, he's a pioneer in electronic keyboards,master composer and multi-instrumentalist,way beyond the crap that masquerades as music these days!
Pure genius I am 52 years old and can remember listening to this in my mom's Volkswagen rabbit in 1983 God rest Jonny I just love it never gets old rock edger your the man
popeye3234 Kids?, it would be good to have any kids there, they are mostly white and bald headed old timers. Nothing bad with that, but I do believe youth should appreciate this kind of masterpiece!! I'm just 25 by the way.
In my opinion this is the worlds greatest R&R instrumental and it seems like every time they perform it it's a little different . That's real artistry .
@@thomasfoss9963 Peculiar....in Kokomo, Indiana I have an uncle named Erwin Cox who's second wife was named Loretta Toney. They lived a few miles away from my cousin, Larry Cox, who died of cancer about the time this Larry Cox posted his comment. Us Coxes have gotten a lot of flack for our last name which originated from the Cook name over in England around 400 years ago. One of my ancestors was named "Little Berry Cox"...imagine the numb nuts names he may have been called by trolls who like to slight someone else's name for a snicker. I had a next door neighbor my age named Richard William Bickel...and his brothers teased him by calling him Dick Will Pickle. So...I didn't feel too bad about my given name...though "Brad" still doesn't sit right...who wants to be named after a headless nail ? I seriously doubt that the Larry Cox who posted his comment above was my now dead cousin. My cousin was more of the timid, soft spoken type who was a church accountant for many years...all into the gospel scene with his family. But sometimes you just can't tell what your relatives are like behind their facades. He probably wouldn't figure me for a guy who built a huge washtub bass and likes to play badass songs like this one, Crazy Train by Ozzy, and a bunch of other rowdy songs that defy the stigma of what kind of band a washtub bass belongs in. I'm sure not into bluegrass !
OMG one of the best songs of all time..Miss Rick Derringer here--cannot believe him and Edgar are still alive....Great band here as well..EW is a beast--3 instruments
i think that Edgar could have simply made a name as a drummer, because he's one of the best i've ever seen, but he's so freakin multi talented it's not funny
Hola amigos; solo deseo hacerles saber que en tan solo 12 minutos viaje al pasado cuando solo tenía 12 años. Recordé todos mis amigos de la adolescencia. Es muy bello recordar el pasado; y mucho mejor con este tipo de música. Les deseo lo mejor a todos y cada uno de quienes les agrade este tipo de música. Dios los bendiga. Reciban un saludo desde sonora México.
This song started out called The Double Drum Song when Edgar was in his brother Johnny Winter's band. Check out the remastered Second Winter CD. They did Frankenstein at Royal Albert Hall in 1970. This song never gets boring.
I’ve listened to some version of this so many times. I love listening to the original on my head phones. I feel overwhelmed by how many way this can be played and still amaze me. I can’t really understand how this genius isn’t more well known. I have to take a few minutes out of my life to try and absorb all of this.
This song and group is badass! The talent displayed here at this jam session is phenomenal to say the least! I bought this 45 when I was 14 loved it played it every chance I got and I get to listen to it on you tube with headphones it’s incredible!☄️💥🔥
Frankenstein rocks like no other song, a real classic, written originally to showcase the capabilities of the synth of the time 1973. Today’s musicians can’t appreciate what it took for Winter to create sounds that now can be done with a few buttons. It’s interesting when you consider how a synth of today is much lighter, has many more functions and wireless technology gives musicians much more freedom. I also agree that this crowd is kind of strange but hey, you gotta take what you get. I have heard several different live versions of the song but this is a little different: I wonder if the interlude / keyboard solo from 6:48 to 8:36 was intentionally put in by Winter to mock or punish the audience for either their lack of enthusiasm or for applauding in all the wrong places in the middle of the song?
Hell of a song! The guitar shredding just kicks you right in the face! Not to mention that synthesizer. I can remember when this came out. Kind of crossed what was then "Acid Rock" into the everyday hard rock stations and even into the top 40. He's definitely talented.
This has got to be the best sounding live Frankenstein I've seen. That guitar tone is so fat, and when the monster riff comes back in near the end it's like heaven and some kind of orgasm rolled into one. He's got a great group together. Also, does the man never age? What's up with that?
You should see his new band, the guitarist has been with him 10 years, but he has an all black rhythm section that just kills. Saw them Friday night, and they threw down some serious shit. Loud and thick!
This is the epitome of classic rock! There are many live versions of this song. They're all awesome! Back in the day, the focus was much more on people playing their instruments. Today, it mostly on the technology.
Free Ride and Frankenstein for two of my favorite songs growing up. Hearing Edgar play the synth live is incredible. It's amazing what sounds he can get from it.
That guitar player has been with him for 10 years now. I just saw his most recent band last Friday night in Clearwater, Florida. Doug is still his guitar player, but he had an all black rhythm section that are way better than this bass player and drummer.
I saw Edgar with an 88- key keyboard strapped over his shoulders. Frankenstein came alive that night under the light show at Paul Stadium, Massilon, Ohio. The song had just come out.
One of the best concerts I ever went to was at the old Spectrum in Philly more years ago than I care to remember. Cold Turkey, Black Sabbath and Edgar Winter's White Trash were all on the same show. Fun times.
Yes, it's interesting, for any of those old rockers that can still put it together, their best fans are now retiring and have the time and dough to go see some shows. I think you'll see a lot of old guys in the audiences for many artists. I saw Johnny and Edgar in 1976 on the campus of the university of Minnesota, a great concert. Unfortunately the University didn't like the way we behaved and banded rock concerts for a time. I thought it was all good fun. I saw Johnny again last year.
That V-Synth arpeggiator is irresistable (in the new section in the middle of the piece). :D I wondered how he'd replicate the ARP modulated filter when it came to that part. Very nicely done.
this guy could and still does play anything and everything in any style true master and you can see he really enjoys his music god how old is edgar and johnny now.

Hi Rick Derringer! You were playing the night I saw the group at the Channel in Boston. Great night!
WELL Said!
Definitely something that deserves to be played more often in my mind , just like hendrix trail blazing brilliance ❤
Pure genius I am 52 years old and can remember listening to this in my mom's Volkswagen rabbit in 1983 God rest Jonny I just love it never gets old rock edger your the man
saw him and his Brother Edgar in 70s Mind Blowing
That crowd doesn't deserve to hear this song. Fucking crickets when he introduced it. Wow.

Kids?, it would be good to have any kids there, they are mostly white and bald headed old timers. Nothing bad with that, but I do believe youth should appreciate this kind of masterpiece!! I'm just 25 by the way.
GuitarSlinger2112 I agree made me sick Edgar Winter doing Frankenstein you got to be fucking kidding me right??
What do you expect from future liberals in the crowd!!
You’d think the audience would be going out of their minds watching this. Very sad sight
My father had this album. When I listened to this at only 10 years old in 73, I was blown away. That audience was listening to a musical genious.
In my opinion this is the worlds greatest R&R instrumental and it seems like every time they perform it it's a little different . That's real artistry .
Larry Cox
One of, if not the first rock singles I ever bought. Changed my life and showed me the R&R light.

This version better than single
Toledo, OH 1973: watched The Ghoul every Saturday night with my girlfriend. Brings back found memories from 50 years ago…🥲
I am only 34 and I can listen to this all day long over and over again. Most of the audience look extremely stoned.
Only 34, okay boomer.
@@sitthefuckdown wow I commented on this 5 years ago I totally forgot about it lmao
@@sitthefuckdown what are you, 12?
How could anyone not like this video?
I was more excited than the whole crowd there wow
They were too flabbergasted to actually react I think.this is god teaching us a lesson.. I d k what it is but I better pay attention
They *were* a little blasé about it, weren't they?
The thing that man could man a portable synth do. Unbelievable. One if anerica"s rock treasure" s
I really dig this man 😊👍❤️🇦🇺
True talent gone forever last of his kind like me
One of the greatest rock instrumentals of all time!!!!!
LOOKS LIKE JIMMY SAVILLE...................................
OMG one of the best songs of all time..Miss Rick Derringer here--cannot believe him and Edgar are still alive....Great band here as well..EW is a beast--3 instruments
I love Rick😊❤️🇦🇺
They’re still young at heart and young at heart is a beautiful thing! I’m their age and it’s amazing to be fully alive in this world!💐🌸💐 Rock it out!
Wow. He plays the keyboard, saxophone and drums all in one song!
He plays like seven instruments fluently.
That’s true talent
He is truly gifted!
And he turns the knobs on the control panel. 8-)
If you pay close attention, he also walked around and I'm pretty sure he was chewing gum, too. Dude is god-tier, no doubt about it. 🤘🏻
classic 70's is so awesome.
Absolutely a super star! That brother is STILL killing it! Awesome!
That was fun to see them do that. I have listened to this song for years, but had never seen them play it. This audience did not deserve them.
i think that Edgar could have simply made a name as a drummer, because he's one of the best i've ever seen, but he's so freakin multi talented it's not funny
Nothin but the best...quantity and quality...balance & coordination...1973? I wuz 12 yrs old...MEMORIES!!😎

I first saw Edgar Winter in 1973 then again in 2019. Each concert was fantastic.
I grew up in the 70s and 80s, and I was unaware of Edgar Winter. Sure I knew the songs, but I can’t believe how blown away I am right now!
Same here, must have heard it on the radio a hundred times but I never knew it was one dude doing most of it
This song started out called The Double Drum Song when Edgar was in his brother Johnny Winter's band. Check out the remastered Second Winter CD. They did Frankenstein at Royal Albert Hall in 1970. This song never gets boring.
Dude could play anything
No shit eh?!! Frickin' virtuoso!!
Pioneers in electronica; and we recognized this for what it was, even at the time, from day #1.
I’ve listened to some version of this so many times. I love listening to the original on my head phones. I feel overwhelmed by how many way this can be played and still amaze me. I can’t really understand how this genius isn’t more well known. I have to take a few minutes out of my life to try and absorb all of this.
Mr. Edgar Holland Winter 🔥🎹🎷🥁🎤👊😎🤘
I love this video. He was so freaking young and being bare chested just made me go crazy when I was a teenager!! Loved it!!
This song and group is badass! The talent displayed here at this jam session is phenomenal to say the least! I bought this 45 when I was 14 loved it played it every chance I got and I get to listen to it on you tube with headphones it’s incredible!☄️💥🔥
Even though she told you to turn it down, your mom was secretly jamming while she was washing the dishes.
Mr. Edgar Holland Winter🔥 🎹 🎷 🥁 🎤 👊😎🤘
No words, unbelievable talent. RIP Johnny Winter.
I saw Johnny in concert in the 70s
Awesome

Strange kind of punishment, if so. 🤔
Weak crowd, sad. I would have been thrilled to be there.
Hell of a song! The guitar shredding just kicks you right in the face! Not to mention that synthesizer. I can remember when this came out. Kind of crossed what was then "Acid Rock" into the everyday hard rock stations and even into the top 40. He's definitely talented.
Guitar for this song was originally by Ronnie Montrose on They Only Come Out At Night album.
Saw them do this live in August 1976. Just awesome!! Great memories! Thanks for posting this! Back then, they were known as Johnny and Edgar Winter.
great backing band....they r really into it...
guy is a legend and still rocking!! \m/ \m/ saw him open for Alice Cooper here in South Bend, In 2 years ago. Guy is 70 and still brings it!
I love Edgar so much 😊❤️🇦🇺
Cool, that must have been a great show
Saw him live in 82 I believe..was unreal ...great musician !
That’s what I call music!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sublime synth playing!
That song is never old.
The greatest show of all time on this planet Edgar Winter and his group are all totally genius,wonderful.
LA WEA WENA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FKNG AWESOME!!!!
I agree 100 percent !
I sort of ran across this video, but the consequence is the realization of how very talented a musician Edgar Winter happened to be.
The coolest.
This has got to be the best sounding live Frankenstein I've seen. That guitar tone is so fat, and when the monster riff comes back in near the end it's like heaven and some kind of orgasm rolled into one. He's got a great group together. Also, does the man never age? What's up with that?

Explosions of the true essence of Rock from one of the Masters of Rock!💥☄️🔥
Saw them in 2003 for my 19th birthday. Best concert of my entire life.
Truly F**king Amazing...........
That synthesizer sounds like Cliff Burtons bass at around 5:09 mark
you think too much
I agree totally reminded me of a live Cliff solo !
This is the epitome of classic rock! There are many live versions of this song. They're all awesome! Back in the day, the focus was much more on people playing their instruments. Today, it mostly on the technology.
love how he make synth sound alot like guitar ....great effect
Best 13 minutes of my life
He's turned this into a monster.
The greatest show of the 20'th century nobody has the talent of Edgar Winter,the best show ever,simply wonderful.
Free Ride and Frankenstein for two of my favorite songs growing up. Hearing Edgar play the synth live is incredible. It's amazing what sounds he can get from it.
Holy shit. That was awesome.
Doesn't get much better than that ...........Happy New Year 2016!
Acid Tripping ! What an Artist EDGAR IS !!!
thank GOD I saw him twice in my life❤❤❤❤❤❤
wow.....fucking amazing. He still has it.
When all the wall are shaken & cops knocking on your door. You got Frankenstein playing as loud as possible. makes me smile
This is an excellent performance
Incredible!.. more 30 years and sounds very actual... A genious!
Every time l listen to this It’s like the first time !
He still did the sax too awesome true awesomeness
Simple y...Spectacular. Thanks for posting, Wow!
Those other musicians were thrilled to jam with winter
That guitar player has been with him for 10 years now. I just saw his most recent band last Friday night in Clearwater, Florida. Doug is still his guitar player, but he had an all black rhythm section that are way better than this bass player and drummer.
WOW! Awesome, as ever.
Such amazing talent, just enjoy.
The Winter brothers could quite possibly be aliens.
They are reptilians!
WiseGuy5674 Targaryens.
WiseGuy5674 Especially Edgar, he acts like one.
WiseGuy5674 And, they have made “Contact”
I saw Edgar with an 88- key keyboard strapped over his shoulders. Frankenstein came alive that night under the light show at Paul Stadium, Massilon, Ohio. The song had just come out.
The Drums that Edgar is playing are called Tambale drums
Timbale
...........not Cungas?
You learn something new everyday
One of the best concerts I ever went to was at the old Spectrum in Philly more years ago than I care to remember. Cold Turkey, Black Sabbath and Edgar Winter's White Trash were all on the same show. Fun times.
This is awesome and I was there in '73

absolutely brilliant
in fact its MONSTER !!!
This guy, and this song never gets old.
One of the best grooves ever!
R.I.P. brother Johnny Winters....
Hello Tina, How are you doing?
Edgar's mastery of the keyboard mesmerized the audience.
I have loved that song forever!!!
AWESOME!!! Got to see him Live quite a Few Times over the Years and He STILL IS KICKING ASS!!!!
최고의 락 연주곡... The very best of rock instrumental...
That V-Synth arpeggiator is irresistable (in the new section in the middle of the piece). :D I wondered how he'd replicate the ARP modulated filter when it came to that part. Very nicely done.
Unbelievably wicked fun version of this song. Best ever by far.
This never gets old.
Good God Almighty I love this song Frankenstein! Edgar Winter is an eternal God of Rock!!! Wow.
