Chuck Ruff is one HELL of a drummer!
Did he ever go on to do anything else significant after the Edgar Winter Group broke up? You always hear about Edgar, Dan Hartman, Rick Derringer and Ronnie Montrose’s post EWG endeavors, but you never hear about Chuck.
Unfortunately he has passed on, RIP.
@@crescentfreshbret he worked with Sammy Hagar on his 4th and 5th albums, other than that I can't see anything notable, and he sadly passed in 2011
Rick Derringer playing all those incredible harmonies on lead guitar must be acknowledged.
It’s Ronnie Montrose.
@@KennyCamaro2364 On the album, but not here, Kenny. That is Rick.
@@KennyCamaro2364.. It's Rick Derringer on guitar and Dan "I Can Dream About You" Hartman on the bassline..
@@KennyCamaro2364 it's Derringer.
Rocknroll hootchie coo
This can’t be quantified as Rock!? This is Rock, Funk, Jazz and Fusion mixed in a bowl and you get “Frankenstein!” Both Winter brothers are so underrated yet killer musicians!
No..Nobody with a brain under-rates Johnny or Edgar Winter...
I saw Johnny when I was 17 & Edgar at some point in the 90s
@@t.j.payeur5331 AGREED! Only Underrated if unknown to people.✌🏼
You guys were loose and having fun with Frankenstein - and it was a pleasure to watch, with so many of us knowing one surprise after another was yet to come. I don’t know anout being “the Black Edgar”though as Edgar and Johnny are both albinos (notice one of their albums was called “They Only Come Out at Night). Maybe Edgar is the White You. 😂
The guitar player (dressed in white) is Rick Derringer who had a terrific career of his own, starting at age 16 with his first hit “Hang On Sloopy,” which he wrote in 1965 at age 16. He is a highly respected guitarist. I saw Rick as a solo act anout 5 times from the mid ‘70s to early ‘80s, and twice more with Edgar Winter as shown in this video. Such great times! At age 63 now, I’d like to go back to the 70s a couple days a week if it were possible. Hangin’ with you guys is pretty close!
Thank you kindly for taking us along on your journey, fellas.
Genre boundaries in the early 70s were fluid
The Edgar Winter Group "Free Ride"...Nuff Said.
u got That rite
One of the most iconic songs from the 70's. I remember blasting this from Dad's Hi Fi system back in the day. Yes, that is Edgar Winter, Johnnie Winter's brother. He formed The Edgar Winter group. That is Rick Derriger on guitar.
Cheers
and Dan Hartman on bass
And the phenomenal Chuck Ruff on drums.
You are both intelligent and inquisitive. Really enjoy your interaction with each other...
That's an ARP2600 synthesizer. "The box" is the instrument, the keyboard Edgar is wearing around his neck is only the "controler unit" - so an extension sending signals to the ARP. But you could create a continuous envelope signal directly on the ARP, and then manipulate it through volume and color, or change the wave form. Creating those moments on stage in 1972 was a bit tricky, because analog sound design doesn't always allow an exact repetition of events. So each night on stage you never really knew how it will turn out.
That's why the guys back then are now called the pioneers, because they all had to do it the hard way, simply because technology today was nothing like them . But of course we had some of the best musicians then too who all paved the way 👍
Yeah ARP 2600 was definitely normally used as a studio piece, only a few musicians were this good at using it as an actual live performance device
Way before MIDI...
Famous Dan Hartman__Playin' The Bass
The "black Edgar"! I love it.... this is truly a phenomenal performance.
yes, this is a "live" performance... I think it was "The Midnight Special", so a studio audience, but it was definitely live. With Rick Derringer (Rock'n'Roll Whoo-chi-koo sp?) on guitar.
The black Edgar Winter...that's hilarious LMFAO. Loved your reaction, boys. BTW, that is an ARP 2600 Edgar was playing. He was the 1st to ever strap a huge keyboard controller around his neck, so he could have mobility on the stage while playing his synthesizer. Phenomenal and genius. Some say Edgar is the father of the keytar. He is also a phenomenal blues singer. Johnny passed a few years back but Edgar is still with us.
I had a huge ARP 2600 poster in my dorm room. Wish I still had it…. You’re right, these guys’ reaction to what was going down way back in 1973 is priceless!
ARP 2600's are so cool. Everything from Frankenstein to PYT
Waiting for the show
Fun fact: While performing this song, Edgar also served hamburgers at the commissary and did a bit of drywall spackling. Honest.
That's when it was cool to play a musical instrument. And master it!
Yes, hours, weeks, months and years of dedication to learn your craft.
"You're the Black Edgar!" I died. BRAND IT NAO!!!
He was widely regarded as one of the greatest alto sax players in the world
Oh man, I was wondering when you guys would get here 🙂. This performance is just flat-out epic, there's no other word for it. Edgar Winter is a bad man with any instrument you put in front of him - add Rick Derringer on guitar and a killer rhythm section and you've got musical genius. Making my morning once again - peace and love from Canada!
** This was a live performance for a BBC show, no audience in the studio, but killer stuff all the way.
You forgot the hand grenade.
Yeah, he brought that, too!😅😅
One of the greatest live performances ever.
Genius.
Thanks y'all!!
This is an iconic instrumental in rock history. The shortened radio version was a huge hit. Your faces were just FAF when Edgar kept switching instruments and killing those keys and synth, sax and timbales. Loved your reaction to this classic. 😂❤
The great Rick Derringer is playing guitar here. You should check out his hit "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo" There is a good chance you have heard, but it still worth a listen. It was a staple on rock radio back in the day.
Yes that was a huge hit on fm radio
One of the most supremely talented muscians on the planet. He excels at guitar, keyboards, sax, drums...and anything he picks up. I've seen him live many times, and he is beyond gifted.
Beyond amazing! Wow! Yes Johnny is his brother.. All of these players are phenomenal 🔥. I truly enjoyed and appreciate your reaction! Thank you for sharing!
Once again, the soundtrack of our lives….we just figured it was normal, being so creative! Thanks for bringing it back to us! Killer all the way!
Sound track of our lives ! You nailed it !
And we got the best sound track EEEVVVAAAAAAA
Yes turning on the radio and hearing Frankenstein was a normal day in the life. This song and Billy Preston’s Outa Space were the instrumentals that cracked through the Top 40 way back when
This was a live performance from The Old Grey Whistle Test, a 1970’s U.K. t.v. Show on BBC television which showcased cutting edge music. It was essential weekly viewing for lovers of serious music.
Another great performance from that show is Billy Joel doing “New York State of Mind”. Excellent! ☮️❤️😎
The bass man Dan Hartman had hits of his own later in his career. I Can Dream About You and Instant Replay are 2 I recall. Guitarist Rick Derringer had an early hit with his group The McCoys - Hang On Sloopy, Rock and Roll Hootchie Coo later. Chuck Ruf was a great drummer also.
AND THIS WAS LIVE!!!! I've always loved this song even though I was not even a teenager yet in 73. Thankfully my Dad loved all kinds of music and I grew up listening to everything. Great review glad you enjoyed it as much as the rest of us here 🙂
I was eighteen here and I taught MY Dad!
I grew up listening to everything as well; was born in 67 to very young parents, so I was exposed to all the greats!! Forever grateful ❤
I was born 1960, so I was exposed to all kinds of music I loved it all rock pop soul jazz you name it I heard it music was everything to me then, and it still is ❤
My band opened for these guys in the mid '90s in Charlottesville, VA and they totally blew the roof off the place!!!
This was actually a radio hit back then. Shorter version tho.
Riding with the brothers to an all time classic instrumental. This song blows doors off hinges!!! Tremendous!!! Edgar Winter!!!
Ball Hair!
@Dick C Normis what we need is a strike hair!!! You ladies working? They call me Charloots!!!
A tour de force!!! Love you two!!! If you ever need an extra grandma hit me up. ☮️❤️
Rick Derringer one of the best guitarist of all time, many have heard him and not even known it, great y
This reaction reminds me that you enjoyed Humble Pie's "Black Coffee," but you haven't seen the live version, which is as much fun as this fantastic jam. Steve Marriott is an amazing singer and this classic tune, written by Ike Turner specifically for Steve's vocals, from the English TV show Old Grey Whistle Test is one of my favorite performances. Thanks!
Humble Pie: Up Your Sleeves live off Eat It, I Believe to My Soul from Live at Winterland 1973 or I Don't Need No Doctor Live at the Filmore. The magnificent Humble Pie!
Imagine if you will it is the early 70s. You are 19 or 20. You are at a friends house that owns a huge powerful stereo. He passes you a joint and you hear this for the first time. I don’t have to imagine.
Those Winter Brothers slid out of the womb playing every instrument known to man. Beyond next level talent. Crushingly underplayed.
Yeah, you should have been there with us in 1973. This was very popular, unique and brand new. Edgar Winter was rock - like this, and his brother Johnny was playing the blues. Great reaction as always, guys!
I've always regarded this as one of best jam sessions of the 70s. Another great jam is Frampton' s Do you feel like we do.
The Edgar Winters band is absolutely one of the best! They are a very talented group. They can play almost every musical instrument that exist! The synthesizer adds to this really cool song. I love it! ❤️
Top 3 bands: Frank Zappa's band, Edgar's band, and Elvis's band.
@@ZONEPRESSLLC Yes sir! I agree 👍 💯
Oh please listen to the studio version of this song. Well worth your time! I saw him when he was Edgar Winter's White Trash around 1970 before this ever came out. Dr.John opened for them and it was a great concert to see before they were world famous.
Great reaction. The guitar player is Rick Derringer. He had a big hit called "Rock & Roll Hoochie Koo". I think you'd like it.
The little guy in white playing guitar is Rick Derringer. He was a producer on this album.
He was also in a band called The McCoy's who had a hit in the sixties wuth the song "Hang On Sloopy". He went on into the seventies as a solo act and had a hit called "Rock and Roll Hootchie Koo".
He opened for Heart when I saw then in 1977.
Both he and Edgar haved played in Ringo Starrs All Star Band.
seen him and his brother in concerts a few times ...they are legendary in rock n roll
Can you believe that this played on the radio? Fun time to grow up!
Johnny and Edgar both musical geniuses. I believe that’s Rick Derringer on the guitar.
I'm old and I originally heard this in 1973 and I loved it. The days of live music on weekly television. This was recorded at the BBC for their show entitled The Old Grey Whistle Test. It always showcased up and coming bands from the time and you can find some real gems on there. All the studio work was totally live with no audience. .
TRUST ME My Music Lovin' Brothers On This Legendary & Iconic Group That Often Toured With Santana,, WAR "Low Rider",, The Cisco Kid",, "The World Is A Ghetto",, "Slippin' Into Darkness",, "All Day Music",, Four Cornred Room",, "Gypsy Man",, "Me And Baby Brother",, "Why Can't We Be Friends" &"Summer"..Etc..Etc.
Sadly we may never see this level of musicianship again. Not too many people around today who will put the time and effort in to become as accomplished as Edgar!
This was a MONSTER Mammoth Hit on Every radio station for over a year when released and still played on Classic Rock radio stations around the country everyday !!!
A true Classic Rock Classic !!! 👍🎶🎹🎷🥁🎼
This never gets old! Just smiling all the way through 😊❤
Edgar Winter is credited as being the first person to take a keyboard and put it on a guitar strap.
Saw the maiden release of this footage on TOGWT in '73. Big thanx to the BBC. MANY great performances on that show.
Saw the Edgar Winter Group on this album tour - at my High School. I've been a Winters Brothers fan ever since. (Thanks for Tobacco Road, btw. A long time jam favorite)
This is a true LIVE version which is like the album version but boosted 1000%. You should check out the album version then come back to this version. Such an awesome tune
Edgar was Johnny's younger brother and the two were a Texas duo since they were kids and went their own ways in the 70's and hooked up for a few tours and albums. Johnny went more Blues. Johnny passed a couple of years ago and Edgar did a tribute album with guests last year which won a grammy. Still going strong.
Saw them in concert in 1977 with the Outlaws and Lynyrd Skynryd at Legion Field in Birmingham, AL where Alabama play Auburn. It was incredible. At the end, when Skynryd was playing Freebird the city cut the power and there was a riot. Unreal.
This song was actually performed three years previously with his older brother Johnny Winter at the Royal Albert Hall in 1970. This rare recording was released in 2004 as one of several live bonus tracks. Which is on Johnny Winter's Second Winter album. (Loved what ya'll said "Che is the new Black Edgar Winter)🤣This was fun thanx for sharing guys
The big question is ,what can't Edgar play. The man is a musician's musician. Fantastic talent. I'm a sax player and I loved playing this.✌️
Legendary song, they all were killing it, that drummer was fantastic
The genius that is Edgar. What a band!!! Amazing & FANTASTIC! Is that the best live performance by a musician ever? I'm casting my vote!
" Ill take it " Hell yea. God bless yall
Loved it when this came on the radio back in the day! :) Loved your reactions!!
This tune was on my very first tape recorder playlist back in the 70's. Waited by radio for anything that sounded good, hit record, rest is history.
Ah, the 70's. Nothing better. Pure experimentation with several instruments etc. Love it!
That’s Rick Derringer on guitar. Rick is a great guitarist. His first hit, he was 16 in a group called the McCoys. The song was a pop hit called Sloopy Hang On in 1967. His biggest hit was Rock and Roll Hootchie-Coo!!! He’s still performing I think.
Johnny and Edgar were mostly solo artists, but they worked together from time to time.
Saw Edgar in 1987 and he was unbelievable!
The studio version of "Frankenstein" actually got decent radio play back in the 70's along with "Free Ride". You should check both of those out too.
Edgar was an incredible musician he could play anything you put in front. Incredible curb and they didn't stay together long but they made their Mark in music. Best Rick Derringer on the lead guitar by the
there is nothing like live music,and this is about as live as it gets. total precision.
"I'm the new Edgar" 🤣🤣🤣💓💓💓
😂
It was called Frankenstein because they stitched together three different previous song ideas into one overall piece.
This was my first album purchase way back when "They Only Come Out At Night". Another popular song from that album is "Free Ride". Keep up the good work boys, its a pleasure watching you discover music I grew up to.
What a pleasure to see others enjoying the Master Wizard of Electronic Wizardry and his band of leaping gnomes.
Thank you thank you thank you! Edgar Winter is a rare talent…this was 1971…precursor to heavy metal, prog, and blues/rock fusion. the “White Trash” album is full of gems. give a listen to “Save the Planet”, “I’ve Got News for you” and “ Dying to Live” from the White Trash studio album…
Now that was a blast. Super enjoyed your reaction gentlemen. Imagine being 13 when that hit the radio waves.
Hey fellas. How about Edgar Winter? This guy is exploding with talent and his whole band is great too. That's Rick Derringer on lead guitar. He goes all the way back to the mid-sixties when he was in a group called The McCoys. I saw Edgar and Rick perform this song in 2010 at Ringo's 70th birthday show at Radio City in New York. At that point Edgar was in his sixties and he was still great. So glad you got to react to this one. Peace.
An amazing performance, such talented musicians!
Thank you you finally got to
I know you will enjoy
Had the good fortune to see Mr. Edgar Winter twice, once when he opened for The Allman Brothers Band of all people, and once with his brother Johnny on the "Hey, Where's Your Brother? Tour". He is a VERY talented musician and singer, and he is still active. The guitarist in this video is Rick Derringer, who had his own hit with "Rock and Roll Hoochie-Koo", back in the 1970's.
In the summer of '73, this played at the local swimming hole at least once an hour all summer long. It forever altered by 12 year old mind.
Another great reaction fellas. I've know this song from the radio for decades, but I didnt see this performance until someone reacted to it. I still get blown away by the talent up there. I love this performance! Glad you got a chance to see it.
Cant wait til you get to that live Zep request. ✌🏼
Rick Derringer! Woo...🤟
Nobody really competed with each other everyone had their own sound that’s why that ERA was so cool..nobody sounded the same
I listen to this band when I was a teenager loves their instrumental
Edgar played music in his own Space & Time. You should give his brother Johnny Winter a listen - tunes like "Highway 61 Revisited',
'Be Careful With A Fool' (Great Song), 'Memory Pain,' Hustle Down in Texas' and his cover of Chuck Berry's 'Johnny B. Goode.'
Albums like "Johnny Winter (1969)", The Progressive Blues Experiment (1968), Let Me In (1991), Live Johnny Winter Ang (1971),
Guitar Slinger (1984) and Second Winter (1969). He was a Blues/Rock Icon; RIP, Johnny.
I bought the record and played this on my portable record player as a 13 yr old in 1973, over & over again. This was the bomb back then, still is. Man, tripping me out on the memories guys! Nice 💜
7:46 ....ive seen this 100'$ of times,its still magic ❤
A MUST HEAR Solo Career Classic By Rick Derringer (The Guitarist) "Rock And Roll,, Hoochie Koo"
Edgar is now playing with Ringo Starr's All Star Band. Edgar is still amazing! I had the privilege of seeing Johnny Winter live at Summerfest, Milwaukee, Wisconsin around 1980 at the Old Style Stage and was blown away!🎸
🎹 🎸 💯 What a great, unexpected reaction choice‼🔥Thanks Airplay Beats‼I'm diggin that y'all are into the Winter Brothers vibe‼☮ ❤ 🎶
I was lucky enough to see them do this live several years back, when the opened up for Alice Cooper and Deep Purple. It was a great show.
This song dropped when I was
12 years old. From the very first time I heard it, till now, It’s
my absolute favorite
Instrumental I’ve ever heard!!
I prefer the long studio version, not the radio edit, but
this live version is nothing to
sneeze at either!! At the height
Of their powers… the show this was recorded on was a
British music show called
The old grey whistle test.
That machine you said you were needing? That's an OLD-school synthesizer with keyboard connected. They used to be hideously expensive, but if you knew the equipment, you could get truly astonishing sounds out of them.
Thank you both for your reactions! So multi-talented!
Yes. Johnny and Edger are twin brothers.
I’ve alway thought the Winter Brothers had no other choice but to be musical geniuses. Being born with albinonism in Texas…no way they could go outside in the 365 hot sun. All they could do was learn music. Genius!
Amazing talent! Great reaction thank you...
I first heard Edgar Winter with the song "Tobacco Road" and I was flashed. After that I bought several albums and whas fascinated. He played several different instruments on every album and that was sensational at the time. What a great musician - thanks for sharing. Best regards @all from hamburg (germany)
Johnny and Edgar both had their own separate bands, but they did plenty of collaborations with each other as well. Johnny was a hardcore blues fanatic for the most part. Edgar mixed it up a bit more with different styles of music. Both insane talents though.
Man this song was soooo awesome back in the 70s my dad came home with our 74 custom Dodge Van and he had a 8 track in it with quadrapfonic sound where the music would jump around the speakers it was frickin awesome every time I hear this song.....Egar Winters they only com out at night👍👍👍👍👍👍
The new Edgar!! That’s fantastic 😊
So great to see people appreciate the Winter brothers! Edgar is so versatile...jazz, blues, gospel, rock, fusion, you name it. Seeing 2Pac up on your wall, I have to suggest Dying to Live as your next song from Edgar. Original audio with a nice video is at ruclips.net/video/opGVGKw_lDU/видео.html. It was sampled in 2Pac's posthumous "Runnin'" so you've probably heard the chorus before (though the sample speeds it up). I tell people Dying to Live is one of the most beautiful songs they've never heard. Just Edgar, his piano, and some strings. Very different from Tobacco Road and Frankenstein, but amazing nonetheless. You won't be disappointed.
sheesh,,,,,the talent in that room
