WOAH! | First Time Hearing Edgar Winter Group - Frankenstein

[@deltabravo287]

If you like this you MUST watch Edgar and his brother Johnny do the song Tobbaco Road. Trust me, you won’t regret it. This song Frankenstein is an instrumental but in Tobacco Road, Edgar sings and that is the part that’ll open your eyes.

[@LowandFast357]

UPVOTE THIS COMMENT. Tobacco Road is transcendent! Way underrated.

This man invented the keyboard strap, which eventually inspired the keytar. Man is a legend! Changed the Keyboardist game.

I heard him say he put the strap on the keyboard so he could move around onstage like a guitarist instead of having to stand in one place.

This music blew my mind mind in 1972. It was only recently that I saw this live video and realized that Edgar was playing more instruments than just the keyboards and analog synthesizer. Mind doubly blown. That’s Rick Derringer on guitar. He had a solo career after this. Check out ROCK AND ROLL HOOCHIKOO.

[@johndee9719]

That's not Rick Derringer, that's Ronney Montrose. Rick did help edit/compose.

I don’t know why, but I started crying watching you fellas discover, Edgar Winter. You all were movin to that music because you knew, no you felt the pure talent go through you like electricity. So watching you watch that band made me feel it with you. Just like the first time I heard it with my friends back in the 70s. I’m 65 now but while that song was playing I felt like a teenager again, rocking it with my friends, so thanks for that. Love you my brothers. Matt.

[@toddstevens13]

The so often neglected concept, is that the drummer is totally playing off of whatever Edgar is going, and in a split second is able to to create a harmony between them, no matter how off the rails Edgar went. To watch an entire concert of Charles Ruff, create and carry the band was glorious. He never got the recognition he deserved which was a shame RIP Charles.

Hey, um, any idea where the keyboard stand is? Nah bruv. I have a drill and a spare guitar strap tho.

[@mariejustme]

Love this song, and the fact y’all are diving in deep to different time periods and genres is awesome. Edgar Winter was a bad man! I don’t know if you’ve already listened to them but next, it would be great if you listened to some Wet Willie, a fabulous southern rock band we all frequently saw. They were signed to our hometown label, Capricorn Records, along with the Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker, and so many more. Macon, GA was a hotbed of music and we were blessed to see it all live. Jimmy Hall is the incredible lead singer. Grits Ain’t Groceries, Everything That You Do, Keep On Smiling are just a few of their great gifts to the world. If you want an amazing Allman Brothers song, do Whipping Post Live At Fillmore East. Epic! Thanks so much for all the enjoyment and interesting discussions.

[@karenruprecht6394]

Footnote: Edgar and Johnny Winter were both legally blind due to being born with albinism. Incredibly talent and a drive for experimentation. So glad you enjoyed the video.

Standing in an outdoor stadium, watching this song being performed live, was a highlight for me in 1973. That energy displayed in front of thousands , was truly electrifying and extremely contagious. Everyone in the crowd knew the song from the radio or the actual album and the band did not disappoint. One of my favorite concerts that year.

Rick Derringer (the guitar player in white) does a rockin' version of “Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo”

[@brooksboyd1959]

Beaumont, Tx represent. My first concert in 1973 at 14 years old in Houston

[@Friend_Of_The_Muse]

The guitar player in white is Rick Derringer who had an early hit "Hang on Sloopy" and later followed up with "Rock and Roll Hootchie Coo" He is a monster on guitar and is on many other peoples tracks over the years. He can play! The bass player is Dan Hartman who also had a couple hits "I can dream about you." The caliber of players who back Edgar says much about his vast talent. He is still touring with Ringo Starr's All Star Band and still playing like this. Amazing.

[@heidihaaland18]

Dan also wrote 'Instant Replay' -- there wasn't a genre he couldn't handle.

[@edb6690]

The song on the actual album, the guitarist was Ronnie Montrose. He played on the Frankenstein album, They Only Come Out At Night. Ronnie left and formed his own band Montrose, which introduced Sammy Hagar to the world. Edgar and his late brother Johnny were both albino, so they had to stay indoors most of their growing up years. They both learned music and playing instruments. Johnny became one of the great bluesmen and a wizard with a guitar.

[@lynettesmith9133]

This music was part of my teenage years. Love watching you guys.

[@KiloBarb]

The title "Frankenstein" refers to the fact that they had to do massive editing and splicing (parts spliced together like Frankenstein) to get something short enough for the final album version. Also, this was a pioneering song in that it was the first major hit to feature the synthesizer. Synthesizers were only a couple years old at the time. There were a few synthesizer tunes prior to this, but this was the first one done by someone who was first and foremost a musician, rather than an electronics nerd.

[@Zooko23NY]

Seen him live, was on the guard rail in the first row. Jones Beach, NY. Was so happy I got to see him. The sound in their mix I think was the clearest of the night. Solid band. 👍👍

[@jonasoverka3956]

I saw Edgar about 1980, and when he started Frankenstein, within the first 16 bars or so, he blew up the synth, and thank god pro musicians carry back up sh*t because he put on an awesome show for the hour wait we had to endure. These were the days that the synthesizer had to be programmed before you could use it. The Winter Family is as Badass as Badass can be when it comes to music. Edgar's brother Johnny died on the road in Switzerland 2 days after his last performance at the Cahors Blues Fest in France. These brothers are as musician as musician can get. I can only wish and pray that I could entertain people to the extent they have. You want to talk about 'white' boys, they are albino. If you notice on the video, even Edgar's hair is white. When they play outdoors they have to be totally blocked from the sun. They are about the few white guys that can seriously play blues. Johnny actually produced Muddy Waters before he passed away. I fully encourage you guys to do a deep dive into not only Edgar but Johnny Winter.

Edgar is an a lbino human - he has super light s kin and super blonde hair. I think there's something about his eyes too. He's an incredibly talented musician and his whole band were top notch.
