Edgar Winter Group - Frankenstein

One of the greatest rock instrumentals OF ALL TIME! Love the extended version!

[@santiagorivera6322]

I have never heard this exact version of Frankenstein. Now I rest my head to sleep that I have heard this awesome musical piece.

[@dtshifter]

Edgar Winter is a genius and grand wizard of rock. He is playing the keyboard, sax, drums and never misses a frikken beat, Just AMAZING!!!

[@SPARKY53100]

It would be difficult to find 4 better musicians than these guys . A wonderful instrumental that still sounds as good nearly 40 years after I first saw it on "The Old Grey Whistle Test " . Beyond brilliant .

[@tomas3238]

Everyone talking about Edgar being so talented, but that drummer and bassist are perfect.

one of the most underrated tracks in rock, monumentally epic. i love the double drum solo. classic track!! i'm only 31 but i do know good music

[@jessebella9901]

These guys played with such visceral intensity, honesty, and proficiency. Modern music and its shallow inauthencity makes Frankenstein timeless.

[@afrosheenix]

Rumor has it, the people that filmed this still wear masks on their faces to this day. Melted off by this tune. Permanently.

This song used to kick my ass mentally when I was like 8 because of how awesome it was. Here I am, still listening 21 years later

[@eracer1111]

[@tarkusjames7473]

bruh seeing cunts 3 or 4 years ago mention masks is so buzzy lmao

[@kevinfinnen7537]

Gonna stick my neck out and say this...this to me rivals work by the great Frank Zappa. Until watching this, I was unaware how much Edgar had his 'hands on' this composition. By not only composing this but also playing multiple instruments {I realize the studio version was a bit of a cobble job) in a live setting; I have a new perspective on a song I have heard a thousand times. This version shows the genius of Mr. Winters and his band.

[@horowizard]

Actually the tune was written by Johnny Winter and Edgar Winter.

[@horowizard]

@Nebby Scumbold Zappa was about so much more than smugness. Your comment would suggest that you actually know very little about Zappa.

[@armidachavezgonzalez2179]

[@janstrapina]

Yeah!

[@frankherrera935]

it was named after the monster maker for good reason. that they came so close to the studio version in a live performance is amazing.

[@dmgallibond469]

This is just so incredible... making music that sounds this good should always be fun, and it's great to see that these cats enjoyed the hell out of themselves on this day. Thank you to the genius that decided this should be preserved on video for all time.

[@Romans12_18]

I use to ride around out in the country driving a mid seventies station wagon loaded with friends getting loaded listening to this song on eight track.

[@VultureClone]

I always listened to this song and wondered, "How in the hell did they play this song live!?" Well now I know. It was amazing to watch!

[@antoniodesousalimafilho5648]

Sensacional. Ouvi está música em 1974, até hoje não sai da minha memória.

[@marvinbailey3385]

That was my first concert ever! 14 years old, with Jo Jo Gunne and Blues Image 1972

[@boobieneedham8873]

·June 1972 Edgar Winter got his first certified Gold record with the single Frankenstein. Edgar pioneered strapping a synthesizer around his neck while playing this song live. Edgar played sax keyboards and timbales on the recording. The drum solo is Chuck Ruff on the set and Edgar on percussion.Of all the musicians I have to say Edgar was one of the most talented!

[@dudewhosaysarrh]

+Boobie Needham Well, technically he just strapped on the keyboard, the actual synth ist that big ol' ARP 2600 behind him...

[@michaelbauers8800]

And a beautiful synth is was, by many accounts. It was never the household name a Moog became. Stay tuned kids, with Behringer cloning classic synths, an Arp-2600 clone could show up next year. If you ever watch Close Encounters, look for the 2600's big brother, the rare, and nearly unobtainable Arp 2500.

[@QVAlfista]

@@michaelbauers8800 Korg re-released a modern version of the ARP-2600 in black metal with white lettering and it looks and sounds gorgeous!

There is everything you want in this video. Wild haircuts, weird and too small clothes, strange sounds, a lot of drugs I imagine and it's set in a freaking garage ! I bet people would call the police nowadays if something like this happened !

[@evaguerrero813]

We better call them if they're doing that today. . Shootings usual follow up,,,, sad but true

[@eddyvideostar]

Daniel Slade: This is a good example to harken back to the days of yore where even if there were drugs; it was different: more novelty, sentimental and innocent, along with the aspect for one to experiment with his music. Today's ambiance: drugs are dangerous, and people's creativity is just as unique as cookie-cutter cupcakes, afraid to step away from the ordinary.

[@Zmart4ever214]

And the members of this group were amazing…. Dan Hartman (I can dream about you) on vocals & Bass. Rick Derringer on guitar & vocals (Rick’s roll hoochie koo). So good 😊
