"Frankenstein" is a rock instrumental by The Edgar Winter Group from their album They Only Come Out At Night. In live performances of the song, Edgar Winter further pioneered the advancement of the synthesizer as a lead instrument by becoming the first person ever to strap a keyboard instrument around his neck, giving him the on-stage mobility and audience interaction of guitar players. The song topped the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart for a week starting in May 1973, and sold over one million copies. It was knocked from the #1 spot by Paul McCartney's "My Love". Frankenstein reached #18 in the UK the following month.
The song's title, coined by the band's drummer Chuck Ruff, derives from the fact that the original recording of the song was much longer than the final version, as the band would often deviate from the arrangement into less structured jams. The track required numerous edits to shorten it. The end result was pieced together from many different sections of recording tape using a razor blade and splicing tape. Winter frequently refers to the appropriateness of the name also in relation to its "monster-like, lumbering beat". (One riff was first used by Winter in the song "Hung Up", on his jazz-oriented first album Entrance. He later tried a variation on it, "Martians" on the Standing on Rock album.) Winter played many of the instruments on the track, including keyboards, saxophone and timbales. As the release's only instrumental cut, the song was not initially intended to be on the album, and was only included on a whim as a last-minute addition. It was originally released as the B-side to "Hangin' Around", but the two were soon reversed by the label when disc jockeys nationwide were inundated with phone calls and realized this was the hit. The song features a "double" drum solo, with Ruff on drums and Winter on percussion. In fact, the working title of the song was "The Double Drum Solo".
The song was actually performed three years previously when Edgar was playing with his older brother Johnny Winter at the Royal Albert Hall in 1970. This rare recording was recently released as one of several live bonus tracks included in the two disc Deluxe Edition CD of Johnny Winter's Second Winter.
I have never seen Sheila E. play a full drum kit before! What a revelation...man, she is great! (Beautiful, too!).
check out Prince's 'Sign of the Times' concert.
She plays ok, but let face it, she looks like a guy in drag. .Just sayin"
Very underrated drummer
Talented and gorgeous
She’s average. Nothing more.
WOW!!!!! It's a crime we don't hear this on rock stations anymore. Edgar winter kicks ass. Sheila E did a great job.
I'm a music collector and I concider this peace the most classic pice of this gender which is jazz rock fusion
KQ92 in Minneapolis still plays it from time to time 😊
We all have to salute Ringo for coming up with this idea, so we can see our favorite stars from yesterday! Edgar plays THREE instruments in this song!!!!! Go Edgar GO!
Edgar should have played a plastic saxophone like Ornette Coleman (and gave us an extended avant grade solo like Coleman)
Look at the version in midnight special he does the exact same thing
@@billdang3953 Yes, it was made by Grafton. Charlie Parker made it well known.
SHEILA E rocking FRANKENSTEIN!!! Edgar Winter is such a virtuoso musician!!! Thank you Edgar & Johnny for this iconic song!!!
awesome..my grandson who's 4 years old and generally ignores what I listen on the tube stopped in his tracks when he heard this and started ''freaking out''....with joy, and watched the whole video....twice.....there's hope yet for the spirit of real music..
it may have been Ringo's show, but that's one hot Sheila E doin Frankenstein with Edgar.
Making love to Sheila would require a great deal of stamina. A GREAT deal.
I miss the 70's, I miss Johnny Winter.
Me too. Im hoping we get to live it over again our next li!
Bow to the great Edgar Winter. Genius.
Wow, that song ain't lost one step. Hell, compared to today, it's gotten better. Other bands do Rock louder, but you can't get no better than this. What a classic.
Edgar Winter and Billy Squire are a excellant match. They play great together.
is he cousin of Chris Squire, guitarist of Yes ?
@@awaken77 no
Sheila E. killed it!!!
Sheila E looked and sounded great with her matched grip, and Edgar can play anything and play it crazy well. Innovator extraordinaire. Ringo's band were always good. Saw a few in my time.
Saw Edgar do this song Way back in the early 70's with his late Great brother Johnny Winter
in Providence Rhode Island great show! What talent they had RIP J.D.W.
Sheila can play anything from funk to jazz to rock and kick ass doing it all.
Sheila E inherited the crown from Tito Puente
Sheila is talented and beautiful. From what I've heard from people who have met her, she is also kind. A great woman.
Mexican blood, indeed!
I love her!
Classic and Edgar is jack of all trades.
Awesome drum off with Sheila and Edgar.....love Billy's guitar playing as well...
This song is truly a LEGEND!
For sure
every band with keyboards in it should be required to play this song...
one of the top 5 I learned to play. not easy as anyone knows, but fun when you nail it, Corbetta's "Green Eyed Lady" is in my top too !
I love seeing Billy Squire having so much fun. This was great!
I miss you my old friend Chuck Ruff. Many thanks for the rides to work and wonderful conversation in the late 90's.
Sheila just rips into it and tears it apart. What a great all around performance!!!
she plays drums like a percussionist. you can tell she was a percussionist first, drummer second
@@danielkokal8819 You can tell she's just fucking amazing. That girl can play anything. I watched a video with her doing a drum solo with kicking double bass into this funk mash up. Tommy Aldridge would have been humbled.
That Was Awesome. Shiela E
Kudos to Sheila Escovedo for playing her parts very much in the spirit of Chuck Ruff.
I so agree.. she did a fabulous job on it!!
Edgar Winter is the best musician to use a pitch shifter of all time.
Sheila E is one of the most accomplished drummers I've ever seen or heard. She can play any style.
And she's still hot.
@@kutzbill And she's still hot....wait....what?
Yeah...she's a bad-ass on the drums. And, she's not hard to look at either!
Some of the best rolloffs EVER.
@@martinkavick4045
You're obviously not a drummer or you'd of recognized she was playing behind and screwing up and she tried throwing in some fast drum rolls where they didn't belong!!
Hamish on bass and Sheila on drums killing it! Props to Edgar on multiple instruments!
I never knew Edgar Winter until I saw this video. Truly jaw dropping. I knew he was Johnny's bro but I never realized that he was such an amazing multi-intrumentalist and composer. The female drummer, Sheila E was amazing as well.
That never gets old.
Edgar Winter and all the other musicians created " full swing" great and surprising. And the rythem action, unbelievebel.
Edgar does EVERYTHING
Sheila E. be hammering it !!!
EDGAR WINTER. ..WITH RINGO. ALL STARS...AND SHEILA E.....PERFORMANCE. FRANKENSTEIN. .. THIS IS WHAT I SAW...GREAT CONCERT... GREAT SYNTHESIZER. .WONDERFUL. ..FUN.
Espetacular!!!
MY. COLLECTION
El bajista es Hamish Stewart?
I love Sheila E...she can play everything ....she is amazing....
Sheila is perfect and so gorgeous. ...
Ringo Starr with Edgar winter and ringo all stars in concert i went to this concert is amazing ringo performing with friends and ringo is amazing show with his song the photograph unforgettable simple unforgettable ringo incredible still is beatle the best is until today I love it
Edgar played the sax on Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman's' "Bat out of Hell" album. Jim told of Edgar coming in and with no warm up or anything nailed it in one take. "All revved up and no place to go" still is one of my favorite songs off that record.
The best can always make it look easy.
What a classic song from our lifetime....BUT what has always captivated my eyes like an angel to a Harp is Sheila..... When I met her at Namm few years ago it was.... hypnotic.....damm I may start to ovulate..... lol
I love the way Edgar Winter and Sheila E. trade licks on this. Very well done.
The first keytarist ever - before invention of the keytar. Edgar invented technique, playing synth keyboard strapped on his neck
He plays his ass off. Great to just watch how he works it.
There is a video of Kraftwerk from 1970 using a very similar instrument. 😐
Sheila E's playing, breaks and legs are all perfect.
Legs? Never noticed 'em....
Excellent drums
Love to see Sheila working it hard!
I'm so glad Ringo's sorry butt sit this one out. Sheila E nailed it. Good to see Hamish playing the bass for a change. And of course Edgar Winter, near genius level. And I say this about few musicians ever. He's a monster...
Vaughn Miller Right you are sir!
What a treat to hear Sheila E. play with Edgar and the boys!
Thank You,
Ringo for including Sheila E.
I would have never otherwise known how talented she is.
So glad you did what no one else had the decency to do.
You should consider learning more about Sheila E. She’s been hired by Marvin Gaye, George Duke, Lionel Ritchie, Diana Ross, Gloria Estefan, Phil Collins, Magic Johnson, Ringo Starr, Cyndi Lauper, Idol, John Rich, Dave Koz, Junkie XL, Hans Zimmer, and about a hundred other acts.
Love that saxophone 🎷 too
Ringo's looking good! ;)
Sheila E tore it up w/Winter. What a show!
Just wow. Great talent on that stage.
Wow Sheila is awesome! a beast!!!! a beautiful one at that
E. Winter monster musician!!! Living legend rocking the stage ! Yeahhhhh!
As much as i wanna comment on the Talented & Gorgeous Sheila E. , i had no idea Edgar Winter could play so many instruments ... and well !!!! Wow !!! very cool ....
I clicked on this video to see Ringo Starr and he appeared 9:00 minutes into the video for a second or two, but had I not clicked on to see Ringo, I would've missed out on this awesome music. I really enjoyed it the girl tore those drums up! Great and the guy with long hair how cool was he, so talented!
Terrific!!! Phenomenal performers !!!
OMG - Sheila E & Edgar Winter...I honestly did not know...&as much as Edgar & Johnny have been some of my FAVORITE people - This may even top when I saw & met Edgar Winter Group, along with Johnny...This is mindBlowing!! Thank You!!🤩🥰💖
Absolutely brilliant. Sheila E is a damn good drummer. Absolutely loved this. This is music. Not like the crap we get today. Peter Carruthers. 07. 01. 2019. And I am over 66.
Musical genius Edgar
True all-stars Edgar, Billy squire and sheela e awesome!!!

….Goosebumps.....
Edgar Winter. Musical genius nonpareil.
One for my playlist
"E" ON THE DRUMS BABY!!!
Wow! Sheila E. is really killing it!
Love her.
This is one fantastic performance, Edger and Shelia, knocked it out of the Park!
Thank You! ✌️✌️
Edgar is really nerdy but that’s ok because he is super talented. Totally favorite song growing up in the 70s. I am amazed at the different directions Edgar and Johnny took. I was more of a Johnny fan as was into the blues but I see Edgar was so awesome and creative. Wish they had stayed together their whole careers and might have been the best super group ever.
What a show that was!!!!
Edgar and Sheila E. look good
My dad used to play this when i was a kid
Dang. Edgar is pretty talented isn't he. Keyboards, Sax, percussion.
I've seen Ringo twice now, and once was this very show. Go see him with whatever band he has assembled. This is a formula you can't duplicate, putting together great sidemen/women who just F&@#ing rock!
I was at this show with my spouse. It was great and I scored lots and lots of brownie points with her!
⚡" it's alive, it's alive!"⚡
Doctor Victor Frankenstein.
Edgar winter and yes,1973 was my first concert! Johnny winter did edgar`s encore with ronnie montrose!
Sheila, one of the best back beats in the percussion arena
Many guys were inspired to play keys by Emerson, but for me it was that 1973 recording and a live bootleg version that got tons of airplay on a Boston FM station in 73 that made me want to play keys. Played serious "air keyboards" to that one until I could learn to play it. Hats off to Edgar - the guy has still got it!
*That* is *aaaaaawesoooooome* 😍
Boy what drums
I love these All Starr concerts
Unbelievably awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm surprised no one has answered this. Drummer girl is Sheila Escovedo aka Sheila E. She emerged from obscurity while wasting her talent on Prince but has since graduated to real music. She's hot and would you believe was almost 50 when this was recorded? Reminds me a lot of Jody Linscott
guynextfloor troll ass comment
Ponder that lineup 16 years ago: Ringo Starr, Sheila Escondido, Billy Squier, Hamish Stewart, Rod Argent, and Edgar Winter...rock royalty indeed!
Make no mistake whatsoever, as a drummer that is a difficult song to play!! There are so many components and changes and beat changes. And then the whole call and response with Edgar. She killed it in my opinion.
Sheila E visited the music school that I recently graduated from, and did a Q&A. I asked her what it was like to play, not only with Ringo, but with that band. She told us about when they were starting rehearsals, the music director told her they weren't doing the percussion section of "Frankenstein," but when she went home, she worked on it anyway. When they were rehearsing it and got there, she asked "wait, we're doing it?" and Edgar responded by saying "of course we're doing it."
Sheila E's drumming kicked butt. She really did the song justice.
I believe if I'm not, mistaken EDGARWINTER, played 13 instruments saw him in TAMPA BAY FRONT CENTER in 76 you had to be there he was a master on keyboards just like JOHN LORD was may they rest in peace
that music was plain heavy metal for real back in73
@cumbco: Ever since 1992, each All Starr Band features at least 1 song that Ringo doesn't play on. Mainly due to difficulty. In recent cases, it's been Frankenstein
Awesome!
"They only come out at night".
That is Sheilla E playing drums on this song. Awesome!
Ich wünschte,daß Ringo Starr so trommeln könnte.
Ya puedo morir después de esto, siempre será ésta la canción insuperable de todos los tiempos. Gracias RichardAllStarBand.
Amazing
Edgar is from another world !
Another reason to love rock!
So hard to believe he and his brother are gone.
They both left us with some of the best music that will ever be recorded.
Much of Edgars stuff sounded like it was meant for the next century.
And Sheila E, always loved her. Loved her on on percussion and voicr with Prince, loved her own stuff as well.
She really nailed this number great and in her own way.
On a side note, would've loved to have been her bass pedal that night.
Did i just say that?
Edgar isn't gone.
@@spaceghost8995 Thanks Johnny.
Never a sad Song
Sheila E. God, right now I could cut glass.
man really wouldve loved to hear ringos take on this song.
yeah agreed i was joking. Ive always loved that even the ringo starr band has a drummer that is not ringo
