One of the best Compositions ever put together...EVER!🎶🎵🎼🌈🍄🍄
Hard to believe there was a time when musicians in popular music were allowed to do more than just back up a singer.
OUTSTANDING! I can't get enough of this great channel KEEP IT ALIVE!
So glad this was performed live to truly see the artist at work
Check out the version on The Old Grey Whistle Test. This is better.
@@charlottevictoria.hubbard7472 OGWT version also features Rick Derringer. Amazing.
I'm 38 years old and I seen Edgar Winter live
I was a teen I went with my dad outside Norway Michigan a little place called Marion Park Marion Park I don't I don't know. It in the U.P. Michigan
Exactly
What a powerful performance that went on forever!! Such a great drummer, Chuck, to smash those drums for over 9 minutes! Incredible! Also Edgar...great!!! Wow!! Dan and Jerry were fantastic too, of course!
UNREAL. 1970s Rock at its FINEST.
I still don't think anyone's done it better. Edgar Winter one day to his band: "So, I wonder if we could make a whole song out of the most bad-ass solo's ever conceived of?" The answer: Yes, and it was amazing!
This channel never lets me down and makes me feel like every day is Friday.
Music was better back then
Happy Friday!
Saw Edgar open the show with Frankenstein in Boston shortly after this ..but had Ricky Derringer on lead..Edgar same deal.. keyboard around his neck..sax..with drums and kettle drums too..we were flipping out..one of the best shows of my life
Good old days, we will never see again. Music just isn't the same anymore not like 60,70s rock
Amen you are so right my man!
We could have easily said that 20 years ago. But now, it's oh, so much worse than that, bordering on surreal.
i counted 5 ovations, ABSOLUTELY DESERVED
Edgar, which instrument are you going to play for Frankenstein?
Yes.
This is one of those songs that you have to see live to really appreciate Edgar Winter’s genius.
ALL of THEM!! 🎉🎉🎉
@darrenrunning5415 Perfect comment!
Edgar Winter, the Rahsaan Roland Kirk of Prog Rock!
Best comment!
Just 4 guys having a great time. RIP Dan, Chuck, and Jerry.
The Midnight Special and Don Kirshner's Rock concert were must watch tv.
Absolutely!! 👏👏👏
Right on !
One of the best concerts I ever went to was at the old Spectrum in Philly. On the bill was Edgar Winter's White Trash, Cold Turkey, and Black Sabbath. Fun times.
This song is pure prog metal. Edgar still killing it live until this day
In my adolescence in my town in Mexico I just heard parts of the song on radio commercials. One day I tune the station and heard the whole song !!! Never forget that day, marvelous sounds and rhythm !!! Great Edgar Winter !!! The end is just fantastic !!!
I liked Frankenstein and especially Dan Hartman on bass, and Chuck Ruff on drums, great performance!
Thanks for mentioning the other members of the "group". Don't forget about Jerry Weems on the Gibson guitar. r. i. p.
Everyone always does, or they think he is Ronnie Montrose.
True musical magician. 🎩 🪄
They Only Come Out At Night was the first record I bought with my own money as a 12/13-year-old in '73.
Same here...what a timeless classic!
My older teen brother had the album, I distinctly remember hearing Frankenstein song coming from his loud bedroom speakers, it was so trippy sounding and different. I visualized an alien space ship was landing, Fricken Amazing!!! 🤯
me too....
My parents got me that album and " Shock Treatment " for Christmas. My dad was less than receptive about my taste in music. I can still remember his statement about the album cover, but I cannot repeat it. My parents were good to me though. They got me whatever albums I wanted at Christmas. America, Grand Funk Railroad, Black Sabbath.
@@KittyGrizGriz It has to be played loud!!
Holy. Shit! Old Edgar was an absolute monster of rock! And to think -- most people back then had never heard sounds like what he put out with his synth.
One of the greatest. Have to share two stories I heard about him and his brother when they played together.
One. During one of their concerts, Edgar decided to just talk and talk. Johnny told him to shut up, ( using other words).
The second I saw in a video a musician was recounting. Edgar wasn't playing the way Johnny liked. So, he went over and hopped Edgar over the head with his guitar. Edgar told Johnny that he was going to tell their mom he did that. The second one is my favorite
I found this on a search. Jerry Weems. Chuck Ruff's guitarist friend from Reno.
The most interesting fact about Jerry Weems is that he was AWOL from the Army Reserve during the They Only Come Out At Night tour. Quote from Edgar's drummer Chuck Ruff:
Anyway, we were in Winnipeg and Jerry and I took a few days off to go back to Reno. And while we were in the airport, Jerry disappeared off the face of the earth. Nobody knew where he was. Turns out that for two weeks he had been held in solitary confinement in a military stronghold. The whole time he was on the road with us he was AWOL from the Army National Guard. So they cut all his hair off. Then he hooked up with us
in L.A. and we did the Midnight Special."
The Edgar Winter Group played Winnipeg in September 1973. The Midnight Special program was recorded in October 1973. Here's a picture of Weems after receiving his Army National Guard haircut.
I'm impressed how quickly Weems picked up the EWG catalog and essentially matched the guitar skills of Montrose and Derringer, while also giving those solos his own twist. Having such a tight rhythm section (Hartman and Ruff) makes a great scaffold to improvise from.
When I saw this clip years ago the guitarist stood out to me. Didn't know for sure who he was but his playing was great.
Mystery man Gerry Weems plays the blistering solo in Ian Hunter's 'All-American Alien Boy.'
Jerry Weems actually wrote the guitar solo for Free Ride. Even though he doesn't play in on the album, Ronnie Montrose did. When Ronnie left, Jerry stepped in, quite admirably, then went AWOL to go on tour with EWG. He got nabbed at the airport, thrown in jail, had his hair cut off, then released, and showed up in time to fo the show. That's why his hair is so short.
Its great to see this in great quality! Makes me feel like were back in 73!
Such cool looking guys! The 70’s looked awesome, it’s my favorite decade. Shame I was born in the 80’s 😢. My 16 yr old watches these old performances with me and she wishes she had gotten to be young person in the 70’s also.
My high school years were late 70s. It was glorious. 🙂
I got both the 60s and the 70s. Best music Era ever.😊
The music, the over saturated colors...awesome. Thanks to the technology that allows us to see this and more great concerts again and again.
I was born Sept 1960, so i was around 10 and 11 when my brother bought the Edgar Winter's White Trash album, and I bought the They Only Come Out at Night album. Good old rock and roll when I was young. Have just come back to this music now Sept'24. I'm a just-turned 64 year old woman!
I could watch Chuck Ruff play all day. I always wanted to look like him when I play drums
I just woke up, man... I feel like a teenager again. Thanks
One of the greatest live performances! So classic!
Fantastic instrumental and what a killer bass line👍R. I. P. Dan😢❤From 🇫🇷 🌹
This must have been one of the best performances of any artist that was ever on this show! They gave it there all! This is what concert goers want to experience when they pay good money for it. They did then and they still do!
I was never a person to crank my radio but when this came on I would crank it up and try to blow my Kraco speakers in my gas guzzler Torino.
Absolutely amazing performance! What a funky band.
The canned audience responses on this show always annoyed me. But it never kept me from really enjoying the performances. Midnight Special and Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert were the ONLY way to see the acts we loved to listen to on the radio. If you missed a show your only hope was to try to catch it in reruns. Recording or computer access wasn’t available just yet. Couldn’t just pull up whatever you wanted to watch on a whim. But now I can watch the shows I missed because I was too tired to stay awake back then.
Thank you
Supreme Showmanship:
In addition to the lineup variations,
the solos are improvised-the live
version is a creative juggernaut...
Oh, to have been there!! What a mind-bending trip that song is! I loved all the colors on them, too! Fantastic performance!🤯🤩💜
You were so blown away by it, you forgot that v. That's really saying something about how that affected you.
@@gregoryduncan3067 😂 No, that's just early morning, barely awake typing (but I missed that because my 👀 aren't so good these days.🙈).
Maybe you need some prescription 🕶️.
@@gregoryduncan3067 I do. In progress.🤓👁️👁️
Tout à fait d'accord avec toi, Stephanie😂🌹
Fabulous! So glad someone is preserving rock history. 49 years later I saw him perform this with Ringo's band.
Ringo’s All Starr Band’s doing a bunch of Vegas dates end of May!!
No way Ringo played drums like this...
¡Excelente!...
¡Los hermanos Winter!...
¡Maravillosos!...
👍👍👍👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹🌻🌻🌻🌷🌷🌷💐💐💐
Just can’t see U2 covering this one anytime soon 🥳
excellent jam!
Anybody else remember Alan 'Fluff' Freeman's Saturday afternoon Radio show where he used loads of clips from this between the tracks on his playlist?
Jerry Weems on guitar!
Edgar Winter is a talent!!!!
Thank God I grew up in the late 60s and early 70s, we used to stay up until midnight on Saturday to watch all the performances by all the greatest artists of that period and of course Wolfman Jack as MC, great great music and memories!!
A masterpiece of Rock
An epic performance. Cheers! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️
Synth noise and a bike horn? Truly ahead of the curve with that alone
Thank you Master!
I love this song so much - that I have ever note, key, beat memorized like that of a Mozart Sonata :)! So cool! Love it!
Right there with ya!
@@secondstring Thank you SecondString, Rock on :)
I love a good synthesizer freakout. (:
OMG what was that? Its called talent. Excellent performance! 😎
Thanks!
This is the best video recording I’ve heard of this from that era! Very well done! Thank you Midnight Special from bringing all these bands alive again!!
Dan Hartman on bass. Almost as versatile as Edgar
Far out man!!
The fact they can do something this legendary in a live venue is a stunning codification of their excellence.
Love ! One of the best songs to smoke weed to !
As good a rock song as there ever was.
One of the All-time Greats
Absolutely incredible performance!🤯😍
Wow! What a performance. Had heard this song a million times. Figured most of it was studio craftwork. Thanks for bringing this back. With so many great performances on these Midnight Special clips, this one for me is the best.
I have read somewhere that the studio version was a Frankenstein nightmare of edits, but THIS! Pure brilliance!!!
I watched him perform this song at a Memphis musical festival in the early 90’s. He extended the song to over 20 minutes and took turns going around the stage and doing solos on each instrument. Incredible performer.
You must be talking about the Beale Street Music Festival (Memphis In May)!
Estos 9 minutos me hicieron el día...espectacular!!✨️✨️✨️👌. Muchas Gracias The Midnight Special❤
Edgar Winter and his band just flat out rock!
I don't think one can fully appreciate the musicianship of this group unless you've played an instrument.
I can shut the internet off now that was GREAT
Edgar originally called it the "Double Drum Song" and included a small part of the riff on his debut album "
Entrance". It was the part just prior to the drum solos.
Finally, one of my top three favourite Midnight Special performances. Keep'em coming.❤
I was 13. had just gotten my first drum kit. first record I ever bought. this brings tears to my eyes.
Was Chuck Ruff a favorite of yours?
@@TheJman2600 oh yeah
helluva song
I also watched the Edgar Winter Group. He Had On Dayglo Nailpolish on and He Played FRANKENSTEIN With His Syntasizer Strapped Around His Neck. That was At The Schaefer Music Festival Also in Central Park New York City. Just one of the many concerts that I have been to. 😮❤❤
Multi-talented and LIVE... love it!
Franken-STEEN or Franken-STYNE? 😳🌟👀⚡️🎷🎹🥁🎸💥
What huge knockers😅😊
Edgar Winter is an abby normal musician.
@@DaveShmoe 😖🤣🤣
👀 “Oh my god … Woof !!” 👀
“I sing 🎶 in ecstasy 🎶 after we do,
the “ wild thing !! “ 🎶
"That's FRONKEN-SHTEEN!"
"Ah sweet mystery of life at last I've found you!"
There used to be a show on Channel 56 out of Boston called Creature Double Feature. They should have played this performance of Edgar Winter Group Frankenstein as one of the movies. The hip kids would have gone nutz! Love this performance so much. This should be in a time capsule to space, just labeled JWG Frankenstein 70s Music.
I loved Creature Double Feature!!
Double Creature Feature CH56
Like one of the cornerstones of my childhood in Mass
And this song too!!!
Edgar is a freaking beast, man! He totally did a Frankenstein on that song...
Incredible LIVE performance of the greatest all time rock instrumental
Those keyboards by Edgar are fucking insane! And everything else he touches
Blew my mind when he picked up that sax! Who'd have thought?
i remember this on the radio in heavy rotation, back in the day
That was awesome
Thanks you Burt Sugarman, and The Midnight Special!
To think this became a hit on AM radio. The 1970s was amazing how wide a variety of music could get air play. Like many OP, I love this song big time. P.S. Kudos to Jeremy Meeks, guitarist. Growing up I thought this incendiary playing must have come from Ronnie Montrose or Rick Derringer but clearly it was Jeremy ripping it up. Chapeau.
Jerry Weems* 😁
The late great Jerry Weems seen here. The late great Ronnie Montrose on the original album.
What an awesome live performance
That was the most talented band, especially the lead!
HOLY SHIT!!!
Saw Edgar play with Ringo's All Star Band, he hasn't lost a step.
Boy them Winter boys sure could play! Is that young little Ricky Derringer on guitar? Funny how they clap everytime Edgar switches instruments. I saw Edgar do the same thing almost 50 years later in Pompano Beach Fl and sounded just as good!
Jerry Weems on guitar
Wow so glad footage like this still exists,way cool ,Edgar is musical genius
Great performance!!!
Yes. I am entertained.
So incredible, my all time favorite song, unreal!!
Artists back then used to actually play their instruments live.
Spectacular performance and that was just one song. Very talented band who should been the conversation of best rock band in their era.
Thank God you finally uploaded this! Is there MORE from Edgar to come forth? 💌💘💝💖💗💓💞💟❣❤🔥❤❤🩹💛💚💙💜💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
So, can you play any instruments?
Yes.
Which ones?
ANY.
Remember this like yesterday MOOG MOOG it!!
Top 5 guitar riff
By far the best sibling musicians to come out of Texas.
I bet Edgar drives the van, sets up the equipment, and lays the backstage buffet, too.
These guys blew Kiss straight into the dumpster
Amazing!
Amazing ❤
This was played a lot for my first year of college in 1979. Edgar Winter born as an albino made him cooler.
