Derringer - Rock And Roll Hoochie Coo - 9/17/1977 - Capitol Theatre

[@jeffreyloeber4586]

Met Rick at Johnny Winter's house in 1970 during the beginning of Johnny Winter And.

[@Skeetersbuzz]

I auditioned for Derringer’s band at SIR studio in the summer of 1977. Myron Grumbacher (playing here) got the gig. Getting to play with Rick and Kenny Aronson was one of the highlights of my life, lol! He’s an incredible musician and Kenny Aronson was just an off the charts killer bass player!

[@primovid]

Wow

[@Jonathan-L]

I'd never heard of Kenny until you mentioned him. Yeah, he's out of this world, I just found this clip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmLbiKJtiNuGmqM

[@markravitz1684]

How did you get the audition?

[@petelaufman4359]

This drummer is not so great...I'd smoke him. 😂

[@DDandrums]

Thanks for the info about who’s drumming 👍

[@robwelsh1226]

Opened for Derringer and Mountain. Just being the nobodies they toss out there first was still a thrill.

[@skullfoot]

wow ! cool.

[@sl4983]

That's cool!

[@NicolasCharalambous-t5y]

I may have been at this concert saw him more times than I can remember very underrated guitarist I cannot believe there is such a good copy of this concert 1977 wow.

[@ghislainfontainebujold7834]

The drummer is killing it. God damn

[@raythackston1960]

But he is not playing anything close to the record version.

[@jakej1850]

Killing it

[@peppino1961]

That BC Rich Mockingbird is one of the most beautiful guitars ever made.

[@greetingsearthlings3710]

Saw Rick Derringer open up for Boston and Sammy Hagar in St. Louis. It was pure, unadulterated rock and roll all night long.

[@michaelzukowski5541]

Saw him few times twice opened for Aerosmith

[@greetingsearthlings3710]

@@michaelzukowski5541 Wow, I bet that was a rockin' show

[@Lespaul23]

Ha! I was there too. Yeah, Derringer played a really good show ( and that was mainly why I went) having said that, Sammy Hagar absolutely stole the show! I still remember him sitting on the edge of the stage with a little Fender steel guitar playing the intro to Bad Motor Scooter. After he played the intro, he jumped up and threw the steel guitar about twenty feet to a roadie standing in the wings. Boston didn’t have a good night, their sound system was awful and you couldn’t make out a thing…at least from where we were sitting.

[@anthonymorton4050]

At the old demolished checkerdome what a show that was 👍

[@Lespaul23]

nope, it was at Kiel Auditorium..I thought it was so I just checked through my old ticket stubs.

[@deborahthomas1313]

I saw him in Madison Square Garden opening for Aerosmith about this time frame. He kicked ass!

[@asmith4786]

Those were the days !

[@jio8520]

Got turned on by Johnny winter and album in 1968 by my older brother. I was 10! Lol I never looked back after that. My goodness what an amazing life changing blues rock live album. Rick is on fire on it. Saw them many times as I grew. Got heavy into Johnny. Was blessed to see Johnny and Muddy Waters at a small club on long island in 1979 called my father's place. Holy crap! It was recorded live on the radio back then. Found it on KZbin recently. What a memory burn. I'm on there screaming out Johnny!!!! I'm 66 and still blasting it all. Let's not forget Rick on Edgar Winter roadwork album. Absolutely brilliant. How lucky we are to have lived then to witness these Masters of music. Rock on!🤟🤟

[@rickyhiemstra9993]

It makes me smile when l read comments like yours,by people who just love good R-N-R🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@jio8520]

@rickyhiemstra9993 nice to hear man! Thanks my brother. One mission in my life is to make people smile. Life is too precious! 👊

[@mariobuttino6095]

I remember seeing Rick Derringer in 1977,he was backing up Boston,it should of been the other way around, what an incredible Guitar player,I like this version of Rock N roll Hoochie koo.

[@wheelroll]

Me too! Athens, Ohio 🎸

[@wholeworld399]

Me too, Chicago Navy Pier. .

[@saltybildo9448]

Here too Cleveland stadium, aug 77 .down by the stage naked women everywhere lol . I can remember the 70s just not 5 minutes ago lol

[@jfo3000]

Saw him open for Rush, Cleveland Public Hall 76 or 77. Maybe Max Webster was there too? First concert for me. $6!!!

[@chrislgarner4927]

Caught him in Ft. Wayne in February of '77. ARS & Boston were a step down!

[@tonyshoe3131]

THAT SING/SCREAM...... YIKES !!!!!

[@westmorelandgreasy348]

Glad to see the man rose up from whatever he may have been struggling with here.

[@johnsiuta5336]

Wow, came across this by accident... I was there! A long long time ago

[@jakessmallengines]

I saw Rick at the same time in down town. Ann Arbor Mich. Great show as always summer of 77

[@2Thes22]

In case you missed it, this guitar tapping combined with You Really Got Me by Derringer, was before Van Halen’s first album. Granted Van Halen does a great job on it but the inspiration for it was here. Also the Derringer Band was taken from his surname.

[@13druber]

He was feeling no pain here 😂😂😂😂 still rocking his butt off. Drummer is beating those skins like,e hes mad at them. Bass tight in the groove. True rock ❤

[@kevindunleavy854]

I was in the audience in Youngstown, Ohio 's Tomorrow Club when Rick recorded his live album.I didn't know Myron Grumbacher would later play drums for Rick.Myron is a product of Y-Town,O.

[@PoppysGuitar]

Just Amazing! Loved this solo then and I love it now.

[@nickphillips7319]

Don't you reckon a Les Paul and a Firebird in harmony sounded better? 🎸🎵🎵

[@stephenhall6922]

Memphis late 75 with Edgar Winter and Dan Hartman. One outstanding show.

[@MrMojabo]

Most bands struggle to find one closer or encore song RD had two and more if he really wanted . Such a pro for that time

[@judycolson6047]

From Hang on Sloopy to Rock and Roll Hoochie Coo...the legend Rick Derringer !!!

[@guitartheeasywayllc582]

We saw him in San Diego on this tour - I believe !

[@rickyhiemstra9993]

THE GOOD OLD CAOTIAL THEATER!! ❤️❤️❤️✌🏻🤘🏻 I SAW ALOT OF GOOD BANDS PLAY THERE & JUST ABOUT EVERY SEAT WAS A GOOD ONE. & THE TICKETS WERE BETWEEN 8 &14 DOLLARS MOST TIMES TO SEE 2 BANDS . THOSE WERE THE DAYS MY FRIEND.& YOU KNOW THE REST. TAKE CARE! AND KEEP ROCKIN🎸

[@MattTamowski]

Saw Rick at button south Hallandale Guitars and Woman was playing bc rich great player hope you Edgar doing alright many great shows at bs Rick and Johnny some of best ever keep playing that R n R

[@reprintranch]

Yeah, I saw that tour at the Great Southern Music Hall in Gainesville. I didn’t know much of the recent material but Rick played encores for about 30 minutes and just tore the roof off the place - “Rock ‘n’ Roll Hoochie Koo,” “Hang on Sloopy,” “Wild Thing” and one or two other classics. Great way to end the show.

[@deangray9552]

2:24 the hoochie coochie was a dance , and the kind that took the whole female body to perform , like a wave .

[@richardelg4412]

I saw him in 79. He played a 5 minute riff without his right hand.❤ 2:25

[@virgosongs2915]

thee one and only Ric Derringer!!!! Amazing performance. Saw them the month before in CT

[@nickphillips7319]

Just posted a comment. BC Rich never was. Never is. Never will be a Les Paul Standard. I was fortunate enough to see this Dude with Johnny Winter in 1972 at Lancaster University. The pair were unmatched at the time. Not even Wishbone Ash had the same duel clout that they did. 🎸

[@emilymiller1853]

He played a custom mostly

[@ronbyrd1616]

I love doing this at karaoke !!!

[@julymorning09]

Was so familiar with this song in the 70's...radio airplay. I saw the McCoys in the 60's, never put the lead singers together until today. Kind of a stretch between the two.

[@Bloozguy]

Well, it was to be Johnny Winter AND The McCoys..... they just left off _The McCoys_ part.

[@isaiakrozell2409]

This song kicks ass and Rick James awesome but you can tell that this was the end of a long night.

[@anthonymorton4050]

You are correct we saw so many great shows in the lou and I did so much contraband I could get my location messed up I do remember seeing UFO on st Patty's nite 1st row at Kiel Opera House 1980 great gig 😂

[@cryptozoology505]

I remember going out with this hot blond picked up at party and we were both really kazooed and well in the room once on bed all of a sudden the radio plays mighty rick and well as you can imagine was great night lol

[@emilymiller1853]

Kazooed.. 😅😅

[@Chucke99]

Oh LOL someone was hearing Eddie Van Halen knocking at his door. It certainly is a rock and roll.

In 1977 at the Norfolk Scope the bill was Rick Derringer, Starz, and Aerosmith. Ok show.

[@williamzago9740]

Good times

[@TimFink_Trump2024]

Isn’t Rick Derringer from Dayton,Ohio?

[@peterfoxwell5198]

How can I get this whole show on DVD? Rick was Bad Ass in the mid 70's- 80's.

[@ZalMoxis]

I can really hear the Nigel Tufnel influence in that extended solo.... Is he playing a BC Rich guitar ??

[@peppino1961]

Yes BC Rich Mockingbird.

Saw the McCoys with their "new music " in Boston Garden backing up Jimi Hendrix in 1968. Exciting they were.

[@robincarlysle-vo7pi]

I was friends with The McCoys s keyboard player Bobby Peterson back in 1974.

[@sebastiendamarey6673]

C'est assez étrange que les amateurs de guitaristes très technique ne s'intéresse pas plus à Rick Derringer, un shredder avant l'heure, il reprend "you realy got me" des Kinks avant Van Halen, keep on rockin'

[@davidlanham99]

6:05 Now, did Ace Frehley get that from him or was it the other way around?

[@knightfall9394]

making noise? pretty sure ace was doing that stuff by ‘75

[@RADLADRICK]

Ace once said in a interview I read long ago “ you cop a little bit of everyone’s licks and incorporate them into your own playing “ That always stuck in my head. Makes real good sense too. Why play or try to be like someone else ? Be you ✌️

[@effthegop]

He must have thrashed his vocal chords because is singing much lower than he usually does. Kudos for carrying on though. Great song, great guitarist, great performance.

[@emilymiller1853]

That's what touring does

[@Smokeys911]

I saw this lineup in 77 in Montreal, when they opened for Aerosmith. I liked them better than Aerosmith.

[@jjp.8690]

Also saw Ricky D. open for Aerosmith, but in Toronto. In my opinion he blew Aerosmith away. I think many in the audience were there to see Derringer.

[@deborahthomas1313]

NY for me and I loved it

[@isaiakrozell2409]

He was really starting to piss me off... Then He got to his impromptu guitar solo and he redeemed himself.

[@dr.krinkleweldon5934]

He was doing it long before EVH

What? Playing guitar?

trying to pull off the Edgar Winter voice range, but Rick didnt have the range.

[@stevenarnold6715]

I now know why..

[@emilymiller1853]

Not sure what all of you are calling tapping... The legato? Right hand tapping and legato aren't the same thing. There is no tapping here... 😅

[@bvision1103]

1977 but look like 1986

[@raythackston1960]

I saw Rick open for Peter Frampton in the late 70's...made Frampton seem bland . But it was a great show.

[@steelmob]

Van Halen stole alot of riffs from Rick DERRINGER

[@thomasjj1976]

I like Derringer, but I think you have it backwards.

​@@2Thes22you post this on every comment? 😂😂 Jesus dude

[@ClownWhisper]

I hope the rest of the show was better than this finale how embarrassing and I love Rick Derringer don't get me wrong

[@ChiIeboy]

Some groups sound as good live as they do on the album. This is not one of those groups.

[@werelok1]

Sometimes he is better live than studio, plus what you are recording on makes a world of difference.

[@SoulStay]

bad recording

[@TheJman2600]

Rick's a damn good singer. But here? Not so much. Still showed off those great chops on the guitar.

[@NH-ox1gr]

The Johnny Winter, Randy Jo Hobbs, Richard Hughes version puts this to shame. Sorry Rick.

[@DDandrums]

Oof!

[@ClownWhisper]

This is the worst recording of Rock and roll hoochie Koo I've ever heard in my life this must have been when they were on the decline in the '80s playing small venues and didn't have any equipment left because even playing small live venues you can separate your voice out a little better than this for a live recording and makes it a little bit better than this I mean it's always going to sound kind of crappy but this is really bad

[@ClownWhisper]

No my bad it's 1977 well I'll be damned it just sounds crappy

[@MDM0915]

Guitar playing great but Rick seems a bit “under the weather” overall. Must have been I’ll from the backstage lifestyle.

[@yinoveryang4246]

If you listen carefully, problem with this performance is the drums. The drummer’s all over the place in keeping consistent time. They mix is also terrible, no bass. My opinion of Derringer is that he himself always played intuitively, bizarre talent. lord knows what musical language he’s playing the solo in, maybe “deaf”. The rest of the band, they’re not together

[@drewedwards4576]

His voice is flat as hell

[@patrickguitar8676]

😂

[@aeynghus]

I love Rick, but that was terrible.

[@markravitz1684]

His concerts were raw, unadulterated guitar rock. His albums outside of Good Dirty Fun ( my favorite) were, in my opinion, overly polished. That being said, the 2 Derringer albums with the original band were terrific
