Edgar Winter "Frankenstein" Live at Rockpalast 2007

[@rse1113]

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.

[@GuitarSlinger2112]

That crowd doesn't deserve to hear this song. Fucking crickets when he introduced it. Wow.

[@RoybertitosFan1]

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.

[@jamesreed9075]

GuitarSlinger2112 I agree made me sick Edgar Winter doing Frankenstein you got to be fucking kidding me right??

[@abdullahussien6683]

What do you expect from future liberals in the crowd!!

[@DarrellS54]

You’d think the audience would be going out of their minds watching this. Very sad sight

[@BarbDonnelly]

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.

[@kevinlindenmayer6637]

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

[@marciacrisp7011]

saw him and his Brother Edgar in 70s Mind Blowing

[@impalaman9707]

I'm 53 and I can remember listening to this all the time in 1975 when I was 4 years old in my parents VW station wagon on road trips on 8-track tape!!

[@rickderringer6662]

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!

[@gonetoheck]

@@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 !

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!

[@roberthendry614]

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.

[@luissalman4522]

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.

Nothin but the best...quantity and quality...balance & coordination...1973? I wuz 12 yrs old...MEMORIES!!😎

[@eriklindhurst5793]

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.

[@jeremyc9229]

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!

[@autojohn-pu1vf]

Same here, must have heard it on the radio a hundred times but I never knew it was one dude doing most of it

[@dalemonti8540]

Wow. He plays the keyboard, saxophone and drums all in one song!

He plays like seven instruments fluently.

[@RockBrentwood]

Pioneers in electronica; and we recognized this for what it was, even at the time, from day #1.

[@mattmallecoccio8378]

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

[@-Skookie]

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?

[@jaex9617]

Strange kind of punishment, if so. 🤔

[@michaelbauers8800]

Weak crowd, sad. I would have been thrilled to be there.

[@fredfloyd68]

great backing band....they r really into it...

[@martinsloan3972]

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.

love how he make synth sound alot like guitar ....great effect

[@Maxum97SeaDoo91]

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.

[@frankmiller7721]

Guitar for this song was originally by Ronnie Montrose on They Only Come Out At Night album.

[@gillescouturier101]

The greatest show of all time on this planet Edgar Winter and his group are all totally genius,wonderful.

I sort of ran across this video, but the consequence is the realization of how very talented a musician Edgar Winter happened to be.

[@DexterHaven]

He's turned this into a monster.

[@Neilfrozn]

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.

[@oswald8842]

I agree 100 percent !

[@johnpetersen8238]

The coolest.

[@therealsweep1]

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.

[@woogha]

Saw them in 2003 for my 19th birthday. Best concert of my entire life.

[@josephm.2856]

wow.....fucking amazing. He still has it.

[@ripper2087]

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.

[@KeeYoungChoi]

최고의 락 연주곡... The very best of rock instrumental...

[@chrisjohnson9645]

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 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.

[@markfrancis1210]

This is an excellent performance

[@wardka]

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?

[@da324]

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!
