Derringer - Beyond The Universe - 9/17/1977 - Capitol Theatre

[@twmoody62]

Derringer was notorious for blowing the headliners off the stage. A critic in st. Louis said it best during a led zepplin review. The first night the people came to see Zepplin the second night they came to see Derringer. The best live hard rock act of the 70s. No one mention Derringers inflence on EVH, but he was doing eddie before eddie was

[@steelmob]

I tell everyone that Eddie van Halen stole alot of riffs from Derringer ,I was there in Hollywood at the clubs when Derringer played he was the hottest guitar player in Hollywood and Eddie was at his shows up front Derringer was something special he had a few hits and made it some what to bad Eddie never acknowledged Rick

[@williamweiss6128]

Love and play his live lp. Still gets it.

[@louiesalinas4720]

Rock on Buddy!

[@autk]

Did it to Frampton all over the US

[@underthegun001]

I saw Derringer on this tour in Salt Lake City. They totally blew Aerosmith off the stage. Still one of the hottest shows I've seen to this day.

[@MRosati5000]

They did the same thing in New York.

[@louiesalinas4720]

Sweet!

[@mariobuttino6095]

Awesome Guitar solos,I have been listening to Rick Derringer, Johnny Winter, Edgar Winter, Dan Hartman since 1974,they are all incredible musicians, they got me into Guitar playing.

[@MauriceDuncan-bq9it]

Johnny winter and i still have this on album. Two of the best guitarists ever. Thankfully I was there.

[@stingylizard]

Even better live! Got lucky in July '77 and sae Derringer open for Alice Cooper in Houston. Close my eyes,I can still smell those 70's concerts.

[@michaelvillarreal8838]

Yes the arena full of cannabis smoke, I too saw him a number of times during this time period. Great concerts in those days.

[@jesuscampos8136]

Derringer live was an awesome album 👍🍻🥁

[@autk]

Yes it was.,.... Sailor!

[@patbridgers5030]

I remember when that album came out in the summer of 1976 that and Aerosmith Rocks were the best albums of the summer.

[@Jamestele1]

Damn good times in Dale City Virginia!

[@libertysoutlook5160]

'76 was an incredible year for concerts.

[@MauriceDuncan-bq9it]

I saw good shows in 76. But my favorite was I can not remember.im old blue oyster cult

[@MauriceDuncan-bq9it]

A lot of musicians died in 76 Tommy Bolin, Paul Kossof of Free. Tim Hardin Reason to believe he wrote some really good songs.

[@MauriceDuncan-bq9it]

What's fucked up is they all died of heroin.

[@NicolasCharalambous-t5y]

Omg he is just so good. I was there and can't believe this concert is in such good quality 1977.

What a great band! Those first two Derringer albums are classic, baby!

This man played the 💜 sound track of my teenage years thank you Rick nothing but respect ✌️ and lots of 🎶💕

[@MrMojabo]

This is beyond great. Beyond the universe. Beyond excellent. Derringer always delivered

[@SteveSchuffert]

Rick in the day was fairly unmatched. Saw him many times. Opened for him once. A golden era of rock for sure.

[@AuntieAunnie]

This was my all time favorite song from Rick Derringer. I'm still blown away from all the talent. He played in CT a lot so I was lucky to see him live many times. Shout out to Rick (wherever you are) and the Shaboo Inn for the most memorable shows. Oh and thanks for posting this video.

[@zippy2213]

Derringer also played this show at the Brave Bull same year, the whole place was a hot rocking sweathouse we all loved it, rock on Rick. Not to mention Edgar's white trash!

[@josephblomeister3040]

Visiting this legend again in 2022, and this legendary song, almost 50 years later. Saw these guys in 1976ish a couple times. The ripping lead style of Rick never ceases to amaze me. He learned some of it from Johnny Winter--- you can hear that style in his playing. I'm gonna learn the basic guitar riff but the rest of it will remain a mystery.

[@brianhammer5107]

they influenced each other - the McCoys were on record before JW was

[@RandyFricke]

Great band. Mark Cunningham and Myron Grombacher succeeded Danny Johnson and Vinnie Appice perfectly.

[@rockyjones4727]

Ah, thanks. I was thinking....."uh, that does not look like Vinnie."

[@brianhammer5107]

Saw Rick with Johnny Winter. Best live show I’ve ever seen.

[@raymondcote2913]

Saw this lineup a few times. Great stuff.

[@SteveGasper-tp9th]

I took a girl to her prom in 1967 the band they hired were the Mc coys. Had no idea who I was watching. For those who don't know in 1965 I think they had a hit called Hang on sloopy . Rick Derringer was on guitar. Saw him a while later he was guitarist for Edgar Winter. He was awesome. But this jam maybe his best.✌️👍🎸

[@gregb8565]

Same here - I was there to see one if my faves can’t recall , boc or Kansas or whom ever in Milwaukee same lineup with Danny Johnston - and they definitely blew the place apart - not saying better but got our attention

[@SteveGasper-tp9th]

I went to a high school dance and the McCoy's were playing. Had no Idea who I was looking at. Derringer played guitar for them. Later discovered him, when Edgar Winter came along. The man could make a guitar talk. At that time, probably the best.

[@Skyy-avari]

The word underrated comes to mind.

[@PlayItAgainLouder]

On this night, Rick Derringer was the best guitarist in the world.

[@algreaves4515]

Cool connections between Rick Derringer; Neil "Spider" Geraldo used to play guitar in one of the Derringer band line ups. This drummer in this video post; Myron Grombacher obviously played with Derringer too (although it was Vinnie Apice who played on the great Derringer Live album. Both Neil and Myron played with Pat Benatar on all of her really big hits. Neil and Pat have been married for over thirty years now. Fun little fact.

[@ClassofEighty2]

Myron Grombacher on drums.....yes. Saw these four guys twice, a year later. As good as any of their contemporaries. I think Neil Geraldo didn't show up till 79??

[@brianhammer5107]

this is 1977 - that's Vinnie - Vinnie and Danny split to form Axis together, and Rick and Kenny carried on with Myron

[@rickya3877]

The man

[@Jonathan-L]

Wow, that drum solo!

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

Rick is so good that he blows himself off stage.

[@carljacobson7156]

It still blows my mind that this was the 'Hang On Sloopy' guy. With the other McCoy members, of course.

[@MrMojabo]

Why .? I think of him as the house band from the scene and Johnny Winter And. Now they where the Mccoys

[@carljacobson7156]

@@MrMojabo Because I first became aware of Rick Derringer from his song ROCK & ROLL HOOCHIE KOO - I didn't realize that this was the same guy that did HANG ON SLOOPY with his band, as a teenager. Thanks to KZbin, I've been able to listen to the McCOY'S later albums (also JOHNNY WINTER AND), and they were really great. Unfortunately, Rick is the only one that didn't end up a 'Rock & Roll Casualty' like his brother Randy, Bassist Randy Jo Hobbs or their keyboardist, Bobby Peterson.

[@NH-ox1gr]

@@carljacobson7156 The original keyboardist for the successful McCoys recordings and tour was Ronnie Brandon. He became a successful businessman and is living a great retirement! Bobby Peterson was around for a very short period when Rick Derringer was trying to transition to psychedelic music that was absolutely horrible.

[@kennyapeixoto]

Poxaa como queria ter vivido isso ❤

[@vickyvlrich]

Yep!

[@ericreitelbach7926]

Frankly, Rick D does not get the recognition he deserves, as an incredible player. Not sure EVH would have sounded the same without Rick D. I saw them in NYC, Radio City Music Hall, during the same time period. They opened for Trower. While I love Trower, Derringer blew the roof off, as you can tell from this video.

[@FeelingShred]

I was thinking the same when I heard the Phaser effect before VH... Who else used Phaser before this, do you know?

My Husband was there & said the Derringer Band was much more exciting than Trower; which was slower & bluesier.
