Rick Derringer Edgar Winter Ringo Starr Rock N Roll Hoochie Koo

[@billviola7884]

Derringer has ALWAYS been grossly underrated.

[@billviola7884]

People should listen to ROADWORK by Edgar Winter and White Trash

[@cacornhusker2940]

yepir. I got to see Edgar Winter in '73 or '74 and Bad Company opened for them. When Edgar and the band took the stage he said, We have a Special guest tonight, and i thought it would be Johnny, but then Rick runs out on the Stage drops to his knees, slides about 20' and hops up and starts blasting. yeah, underrated isn't close...He played on Todd Rundgren's Sonething/Anything Double Album - A Classic, toured with Cindy Lauper in the 80'sand those are just 2 of his side gigs.

[@WoodworkingforAnyone]

I feel the same way but then he does a solo like this and kind of throws it all away. He CAN do whatever he wants on guitar but it has to keep an attention span. I don't want to hear someone play scales. Especially not from someone that I know can give me the riffs. I want emotion and novelty. There are a ton of great guitarists that don't make much music I am interested in. He's an unfortunate example of this. I will say though that his good stuff puts him in the top tier of truly great rock guitarists. I am also just some schmuck and am in no way saying I am better (unless I don't have to prove it in which case I am easily the best there is)

[@GreenManalishiUSA]

Rick is on fire here, knocking it out of the park. Ringo got it right with the whole idea of the All Starr Band. Ringo doesn't need to prove anything to anybody; all he needs to do is call up some legendary rock and roll friends, hit the road, and play a bunch of songs that everyone knows and loves and can sing along to. I went to one of the shows, and it was great fun, with three generations of fans in the audience. Peace and love!

I saw the Edgar Winter group with Rick Derringer in 1974 in Las Vegas . It was the best concert I have ever been to in my life . And now I'm almost 67 years old . Edgar and Dan Hartman left the stage halfway through the concert and left Chuck Ruff and Rick on stage . With only drums and Rick's guitar 🎸 they played all the top songs off of the All American Boy album. It was unbelievable.

I remember meeting Rick back in NYC around 1985 at a guitar show and he wasn't in good shape. Also saw him play at a little bar in Greenwood Lake late 80's and there was no one there and he was uh under the weather I think. I thought and think he was an amazing guitarist who was on his way to checking out early and then somehow he pulled himself together, got sober, found God and here he is. Amazing person. He lived it and survived and he is still alive and well.

Rick Derringer was also a very accomplished Session Guitarist and played with so many Musical Acts. In their prime in the 1970's -KISS brought in Rick, when Ace couldn't seem to play a solo they needed correctly. Maybe he was too wacked out on drugs or booze. So, after hours of Ace messing up - KISS brought Rick in, and he nailed the solo in one take. He was there less than 30 minutes.

[@discernment8963]

@@carljacobson7156 Ace may well have been whacked, but let's face it KISS instrumentally/musicianship wise, although probably THE most brilliantly promoted act of their era are a good bar band on the best day of their lives. Which the master promoter himself Gene Simmons would be the 1st to admit. Whereas Derringer and his former bandmates The Winter Bros are amongst the premier musicians of their era.

[@rigelmoon9030]

There were thousands of Derringer-wanna-be's out there; and, thank the Rock Gods for that. What other profession saw millions and millions of wide-eyed and hopeful young people looking for that hidden talent they all truly believed they had somewhere in their musical grey matter? No one rushed out the door to be a house painter or attorney. The 50's, 60's and 70's, saw a volcanic eruption of musical styles and burgeoning genres never before seen in world history. And we teens lapped it all up. The rock 'pyramid' was being built at light speed and the great talents were discovered. But, for every great band, 100,000 garage bands went the way side, as did mine. Nonetheless, those bands have, arguably, the greatest memories of all. At least they had a chance to try. And, that was half the fun. Bragging rights.

[@stevenvox6549]

@@arthurblackhistoric I loved it too. It had a different lead vocalist on some tracks, and it had a variety of cuts - and it was a double LP.

[@arthurblackhistoric]

@@stevenvox6549 . . Yeah, Jerry La Croix was the principal lead singer, and Edgar took the lead vocal on some tracks. To tell the truth, I much preferred Jerry's more mature voice to Edgar's screechy vocals. I knew a guy back in the mid-1970s who seemed to pop up everywhere back in those days. He seemed to me to be totally committed to being in show biz, even if it killed him, LOL. He was the bass player in an Art-Rock band called Gentle Art and in that capacity I'd often see him when our band was paying support to his band. He got a bit of a break when he became the night time announcer on Brisbane's 4BK radio station, from 8:00pm to midnight, Monday through Thursday nights. His show was called "The Fat Music Show", in which he played album tracks from all branches of the Rock music family tree. For example, one night he played only music from Prog Rock masters, Yes. What a night that was for me, being a massive Yes fan! Wishbone Ash used to also get a run often. I had well over 300 albums, and fully half of them came from my hearing tracks from them played by Rick on his radio program. It was there that I first heard Tobacco Road, from the Roadworx album by Edgar Winter. You better believe I wasted no time at all heading for the import record store in the city to buy it! I'd been a fan of Johnny Winter since the late 60s, when I first heard Johnny Winter And . . Live, at high school. We were always doing things to raise money for worthy charities, including running a kind of high school lunchtime radio station in which we brought our LPs and 45s to school and played tracks from them by request, which cost 10c per play, proceeds going to the charity we supported. Every little bit helped, I suppose.

Indeed. Although I only saw RD a couple of times, I saw Travers a couple *dozen* times in various small venues around DC. Always a great show. Had to go to the Baltimore Civic Center to see Trower in his heyday though...way too big an act for small clubs in those days. And don't forget Rory Gallagher...he was always playing around here, and his shows would go 2 1/2 or 3 hours all the time.

[@nhmooytis7058]

Used to listen to Trower in the early 70s!

[@terrencewilliams8559]

I'm 57, this song came out when I was 9 or 10. They are more amazing now than ever.

[@barbaracole4314]

I used to have this album back in the 70's, he was a little cutie , played guitar with gloves on, he was only 18 when he did this song

[@scottbreseke716]

It's good to see Ringo back on drums.

[@johngalt2508]

Rick i have been a fan sincethe edgar winter band seen you hell i dont know over 30 times live and you still blow my mind everytime i watch you play....thanks for all the years of amazing music improvisation and the great times.

[@christineklinger6759]

Rick still has it all those long years ago. Nice to know he has become a born again Christian I'm one and proud of it. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@alabastersmidge4692]

Christine Klinger I’m glad Rick turned his life around.

[@johnparker7784]

Christopher Parkening ( the worlds greatest classical guitarist) is also a devoted Christian. I'm just a guy that spent many years in Catholic school but i respect both Parkening and Derringer because they could have gone down the road of materialism but they stuck with something much more profound.

[@Excalion88]

I'm flattered.

[@davidmesser4866]

ANY born again christian is my friend. Sure helps when they can play like Rick! Haha!!!

[@chuckberry7058]

If you weren't rocking in the 70's you have no idea how much fun it was, glad to be able to somewhat relive those days with KZbin!

[@michaelgreen5206]

Love you Rick and your music!!!! Been listening to you since the 60's, and with the Edgar Winter Band, too. Glad to see Edgar on stage, wish we could have brought back Johnny Winter. When I think of this song, I hear Johnny Winters vocals but know that Rick wrote this song. Rick is a guitar God for me and most guitar players, too. Now lets here some Free Ride.

[@philjerome9795]

My first concert was Rick Derringer at the old College of Staten Island, sometime around 1980. I was in awe then and still am to this day.

[@petelaufman4359]

Good to see Rick has come full circle w religion...sounds great. 😮 ❤ An eternal King.

[@randycoffman9326]

That sure brings back a lot of good memories from a great era in music and society.

[@mariarusso1155]

Hello Randy how are you 😊

[@josephm.2856]

AMAZING.......GETTING THE CHILLS......RICK STILL PLAYS GREAT !!!! ALL AMERICAN BOY BABY...

[@sandspar]

There is only one. Spent decades trying to play the guitar because of this man, at the end of the day I bow in humble admiration. God bless you Derringer.

[@Grendelmonster8u]

Awesome rockin' solo! Rick sounds so good here.

[@duster71]

Rick Derringer and the Winter Bros are national treasures.Rick just gets better with age.

[@kingofthehousemedia]

Ringo's idea of year after year touring with legends of rock and roll was and still is brilliant. I have several of his All Star Band recordings.

[@jackmann6814]

Wow glad I found this excellent! I meet Rick in a theater here in Oregon at a showing of "Rocky" when it came out, he was playing here that week. Only rock and roll star to ever shake my hand, will always remember that.

[@mariarusso1155]

Hello Jack how are you 😊

[@sluggoandrews9977]

Just looked in the mirror,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Yep Rick's guitar just melted my face off!!!!!!! WOW still got mad skill

I saw Rick with Edgar Winter in Toronto a long time ago. Great concert.

Nag’s Head North in the 80’s for me!

My God! Is this awesome? The guitar, AND superb vocals. Outrageous. He has lost NOTHING!

[@billedwards6985]

Best song ever written

[@karlmaerz5661]

I grew up listening to Rick on 8 track tapes in my car, played at high volume. Loved "Beyond the Universe" and the epic solo on Loosen your Grip" still sends chills down my spine. Keep on Rockin' , Rick!

[@thomasfoss9963]

He's the Real McCoy!!!! It was Hang on Sloopy and Teenage Love Affair for me!!!!!!!!

[@mariarusso1155]

Hello Karl how are you 😊

[@benjaminhawke2080]

Rick Derringer knows how to play that Geetar mang....."Keep on Rockin"...gotta love that...been feeling bad...you made me cry happy....Thanks bro...

[@alanjamesheidemann3823]

Ringo is the Star that spreads the Live Music news now. Such a great show every Time! Peace for Nostalgic Love in the Heartbeat of Classic Live Music. THX gizzillions!

[@sejrec56]

Wow, still so very impressive as to what a great guitar player he really is!! Thank you Mr Derringer!

[@huascar66]

I was just out of the Navy when this song came out. I bought the album and was dumb-struck by Rick Derringer's talent. Played this album until the grooves wore out. Saw him on tour where he did this song live. It still gives me goosebumps to think about. And now, to see this live performance, I get goosebumps all over again. Rick Derringer is AWESOME!

[@stevenkatz679]

I jammed this on a 45 like 10,000 frickin times when I was a kid , this song is part of the fiber that makes me who I am , I knew every word and got so much enjoyment out of it still to this day , one of the greatest rock and roll songs ever made , thank you .

[@stonesandwinter8034]

A guitar Genius in his time .. still is . I saw him in the 80's at Barrymores in Ottawa and he was on fire

[@bryanmclellan8546]

OK, I'll chime in. I saw Rick Derringer in Tampa circa 1979. Roy Buchanan opened. Derringer blew the roof off. Both bands kicked ass. The Derringer Live album is unbelievable. He plays better live than in a studio. There's a hell of a lot of top rated guitarists that can't do that.

[@jeaniechowdhury6739]

Ringo is always in the best bands

[@kendallevans4079]

He HIRES them.!!.....it's a cash cow for RICHARD STARSKY

[@joemorris143]

[@voxac30withstrat]

@@joemorris143 Why would Ringo need to cover his arse?

[@kevindean1327]

He was in another band?

[@SopranoPizzaJMFNJ]

Derringer is a Goddamn beast and I love the Eruption licks he through into his solo!!!!!

[@scottjackson1420]

The amazing thing is that Rick's voice sounds like it's 1973, about 40 years before this performance! And wow, the guitar chops are all an audience could ever want. Rick's like fine wine, improving with age.

[@rindacilla]

Amazing! Rick you still got it!!! That was a pleasure to watch...Thank you

[@paullarson4587]

I feel so fortunate to have seen them in the early 80’s. Incredible!

[@bubba9985]

edgar and rick are both innovators. Together they we a decade ahead of everyone else.

[@chrislgarner4927]

When I saw Rick open for Boston & ARS early '77, he absolutely stole the show! One of my all-time favorites.

[@ellecampbell5067]

WOW!!! Rick, I had no idea!!! You ROCK, if I may say so!

[@peteyleewheatstraw6093]

Thank you Ringo for all you have done for Rock and Roll. You brought these legends back to us for many years!!

[@stevearmin5346]

Saw Rick in Milwaukee a couple of decades ago with Edgar. Great performance from both, as I expected.
