ruclips.net/p/PLGxaqBTVsgeNIAEraClfzN-4GJE9jAVWM and early Edgar...Edgar Winter's White Trash album was great. Dying to Live ruclips.net/video/opGVGKw_lDU/видео.html or Save the Planet...ruclips.net/video/KEdydibnfNE/видео.html
I have been listening to Johnny Winter since the early seventies. My older brother bought Still Alive And Well and that did it for me. Favorite Johnny Winter song is Highway 61.
Well not quite, there were many instrumentals that hit number one prior and were bigger hits (Percy Faith-Theme From a Summer Place). I think you meant it was the first rock instrumental to hit number one.
@@gpxo11 Yes likely correct rock instrumental, but it still remains the biggest selling one. I'm sure you could go back to Beathoven for # 1 instrumentals but in terms of the content on these reaction videos ... Frankenstein is it !!
@@carlbarrs929 that must have been incredible! I saw Edgar just before COVID and he was playing and singing circles around his younger band mates. He still has IT!
That contraption Edgar Winter is playing is the ARP 2600 synthesizer. The keyboard strapped around his neck is the controller for it. He was changing the sound by moving sliders and knobs on the main unit. Stevie Wonder also used an ARP 2600 as well as many others, including Ben Burtt, sound designer for Star Wars. R2-D2's sounds were from an ARP 2600. Interesting note: The guy on bass* guitar is Dan Hartman, who had a hit in the late '70s called "Instant Replay", and in the '80s had a hit with "I Can Dream About You". *Edited for correctness
I believe Dan Hartman is actually playing bass and the guitarist is Rick Derringer (great guitarist who did a lot of session work and he had the hit "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo").
This live version of this song is a total experience. It blew me away the first time I saw it. Edgar Winter is very talented & plays many instruments including keyboards, saxophone & timbales. The title "Frankenstein" refers he fact that the original recording of the song was much longer than the final version & it required numerous edits to shorten it. So they spliced together many different parts.
Multi-instrumentalists like Edgar Winter impress the ell out of me. It takes most people a lifetime to master one instrument, at least to get good enough to be willing to play in public. I once saw a Hank Williams Jr. show on New Year's Eve and before the night was over that man had played every instrument on that stage and played them all well. Mind boggling.
This song was actually something they would play during their soundchecks to warm up. One night their manager happened to be at a soundcheck and heard them doing this song and asked Edgar what is that song and Edgar told him that was something they played to warm up. The manager said that they needed to put that on an album, so they did and it became a monster hit. (pun intended)
When I was in the middle of the late teens I was fortunate enough to happen to walk by a venue that Edgar Winter was playing and I got to see him perform this song live mind-blowing
When Edgar winter said in the Tokyo tour interview that the electric keyboard was the greatest invention in his eyes, I believe him because it was MADE for him.
This instrumental came out when I was in 7th grade, 63 now. So glad to see you kids enjoying it and being thankful that I was blessed and able to realize that I was hearing something awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Jamel, i have been following your channel for a long time now, I think you would really enjoy Hurricane by Bob Dylan. Its a bit on the long side and would be one of the longer, if not the longest songs you have reviewed yet. Its a story about a man who should have been a huge success but was falsely accused of a crime because of his race and had his legacy and life stolen from him. In my opinion its a masterpiece. Theres one line in there toward the end that some may take offensively if they didnt know the context of it by listening and paying attention to the song. Even if you don’t do a reaction video to it, it is definitely worth a listen. Great song, great lyrics, and great (but sad) story.
I was born in Paterson and have lived, (65+years), and worked in the area. We know the story well. One of my coworkers lived in Paterson all his life. He knew both of them. His last name was Carter also. But he would tell me he was not related to Hurricane. He did tell me many times that they were not innocent.
Packer fan here. Rock on #12! Also... This song brings me back to when I was in 3rd or 4th grade. My older brother, who was then in HS talked my parents into giving him a room in the basement to hang out with friends. They would jam tunes while playing foosball and this album was often played, with this very song being the one that was most often repeated. This and Free Ride. Good memories...thanks for the upload. Rock on, fellas and God bless.
This one brings back great memories! Have you checked out the old roots of the blues? A fun one is Bull Moose Jackson. Aerosmith remade one if his songs years later.
A song considered at the time as Progressive Rock. Edgar Winter a pioneer, who was number 1 on the Billboard in 1973 The song topped the US Billboard Hot 100 chart for one week in May 1973
Good one guys... When this first came out I ran to the record store... That was back in the early 70's... Yes he plays guitar too... He's got a twin brother equally as talented... I think they are both albino.. I forget now... Cuz brother Johnny passed away
Very happy to meet your brothers, Jamel. This is my favorite music video of all time, because without watching them play, I wouldn't think any of this was possible.
When I lived in Vegas years ago, I saw Edgar Winter open for REO Speedwagon in the show room at the Sahara. Front row right in front of some big ass speakers. Back when you could still light up in those venues and nobody cared. He bout blew our heads off! It was awesome!
And he's still doing it 50 years later. Although it's from 13 years ago check out "Rick Derringer Edgar Winter Frankenstein" when they toured with Ringo Starr's All Starr Band 2010. Rick Derringer is the same guitarist in this video who is a very well known guitarist, and and producer.
To fully experience Edgar Winter you have to listen to the entire live double album Edgar Winter's White Trash- Roadwork. It's a blessing in disguise!!!
Hey gentleman, Mike from Oakland great reviews, but this Frankenstein was spectacular. This was early 70's and did that man start scratching like RUN DMC? Wow it had so much music genius in one song, thank you for turning me on to the group.
right in the 1:00 to 2:00 mark the guitarist there doing the squealy synthing is showing off his skill because he's shifting between playing the synth like it was a saxophone, a trumpet, a trombone, and a tuba all intertwined, like he's emulating the kind of pitch shifting that we iconically associate with a trombone and then doing little trumpet deedly-deets and deep tuba hits, like this whole song is that guy really just showing off his skill at a number of different instruments, he's really talented
Just as Frankenstein was made from a bunch of parts......All the different grooves and "parts" that made up the whole song are put together and it works.(comes ALIVE) The guitar player is Rick Derringer. He wrote and sang "Rock and Roll Hoo Chi Koo" and played guitar on a big hit in the 70s called Free Ride!! Bad ass songs there. Good show>>>>
From when I was 12 we used to watch 'the old grey whistle test' every week and then we would all talk about the acts at school the next day. we thought all this incredible music was just normal - ha ha.
I REM Edgar Winter as saying they called it Frankenstein because the tape ( media ) was so spliced. Recently heard the they called it something near “ Double Drum Song?? Before production
Synth was a Arp 2600 with a remote keyboard. You should check out his version of Tobacco Road in his live double album. Great album on so many levels. Lots of serious singing and playing. Edgar is a smoking singer too. But also has Jerry Laquarie singing too. Plus his lead guitarist brother and blues legend Johnny Winter joins for a couple of songs, joining Rick Derringer who played guitar on Frankenstein. Rick was in Johnnys band before this.
EW Group has always been hard to watch, in my opinion. But that albino looking badass can play almost anything he picks up. I love your, #12 Aaron. He has one hell of an awesome head bang, bounce roll thing going on.

Never gets old! Absolute classic! You must see him in person.
I once saw Jonny Winter when Edger was in his band playing keyboard around 1970.

@@RockDocNeal : Oops!! You're right!
@@toolman8269 No problem. I tried to word my comment so it didn't sound like an arrogant, demeaning response from an internet troll. 😁
Now you MUST see Edgar & Jonny Winter "Tobacco Road" live around 1973. Be prepared to be amazed.

Never new that, I don't doubt it 1 bit.
What your not realizing is that" that contraption he's messing with towards the end is basically a pre-historic synthesizer!
Back in the day when you programmed them.
This song was very popular back in the day. It was on the radio all the time. Fun crazy times.
Great song. Hadn’t heard it in years. Have never seen that live version either. I loved watching your reactions to it. Thanks for posting ❤😎🎸

Edgar is an insane keyboardist. I've seen him live. He puts on a great show.

Sure was fun watching the 3 of you jam on this great Classic together! Good times!

You should check out Edgar when he plays with his brother Johnny on Tobacco Road
Saw him in concert in the early 90's, awesome concert.
Memories!! Seen them perform this in Huntsville, Alabama in 1971,alot of pot smoked and alot of rocking!!

Imagine hearing this on AM radio when it came out!
Every time I watch this I appreciate it more
Got to see him in Dallas 5, 6 years ago with Alice Cooper and Deep Purple.
Edgar Winter and Rick Derringer on Don Kirshners Rock Concert. I was there and it was amazeballs!
Love it when The Brothers come to visit!
You guys are now officially headbangers

Saw Edgar in 2017 (making him around 69 - 70) and he was still ever the consummate professional - very mobile, on point. Didn't miss a note. Amazing!
I love your brother's btw! Thank you for spreading the music to them.
Another rockin song free ride multi talented he could do it all.
Our high school marching band played this song as part of halftime show. 88-89.....rocks!
Good one guys... When this first came out I ran to the record store... That was back in the early 70's... Yes he plays guitar too... He's got a twin brother equally as talented... I think they are both albino.. I forget now... Cuz brother Johnny passed away
I saw him live. OMG what a show.
Young cat in the white jumpsuit is Rick Derringer. Check out his lime song Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo you'll get a rock on that
One of the greatest bands of all times great live music
This was basically a showcase for him like Hocus Pocus was for Thijs van Leer of Focus
Great song!! Loved it for years but never saw any live performances!! Amazing!❤
I saw them at Penn State in maybe 1973. Unforgettable.
Very happy to meet your brothers, Jamel. This is my favorite music video of all time, because without watching them play, I wouldn't think any of this was possible.

He's like the mad scientist of rock!
The many many time I played this on a jukebox at Pizza Hut on Fridays...I'd be rich now if i had that money back, but nah...wouldn't change a thing
Absolutely love this. Thank you for showing your brothers this in front of all of us. Much love.
Edgar wanted to be everybody in a rock band......
and he was.
He was also in a rock band.......
Hmmmm
BRILLIANT !!
And he's still doing it 50 years later. Although it's from 13 years ago check out "Rick Derringer Edgar Winter Frankenstein" when they toured with Ringo Starr's All Starr Band 2010. Rick Derringer is the same guitarist in this video who is a very well known guitarist, and and producer.
Rick does a wicked version of Rock and Roll Hoochie Coo in that show too
You guys make this video great!! Keep em coming! 🙂
I think they’re enjoying this! I am!
Edgar Winter is from another dimension.
This song to me is a quintessential 70s song. I used to say this was the theme song of my 70s van! I love it, thanks for the reaction!
This Is A Great Song
One of the great instrumentals.
It’s still awesome to listen to. When I first heard this played back in the day there was nothing else like this playing at the time. It stood out!
To fully experience Edgar Winter you have to listen to the entire live double album Edgar Winter's White Trash- Roadwork. It's a blessing in disguise!!!
Unreal, almost forgot that jam! Good one!!!
P.S. You three look like three good souls. Please stay that way.
This song takes me back to teenage years and many memories. Good reaction.

pure FUNK AT ITS BEST

That was a stone cold groove, my main man
All y'all got the stankface goin' on.
That's a sign of great music right there.
Edgar Winter invented the shoulder strap keyboard.
Local guys right there, they are in our local Gulf Coast Hall of Fame too, along with other locals like Janis Joplin, etc.
Dico, funk, rock? You name it this guy could get it done.
Love your reaction videos
Edgar's brother Johnny Winter is also an excellent musician !
Awesome your bros a packers fan! Greetings from the frozen tundra.

Even though Dan Hartman was multi instrumentalist, he played bass like a true bass player!
I watch the entire song every goddamn time, you have to, it's a rule, no matter the channel, you start it, and you have to watch to the end.
This was such a fun reaction. Synthesizer, it was.
I love this reaction. You and your brothers are havin' so much fun.

Nothing like it out there. perfection.
This was the first 45 I bought & I still have it.
One of the greatest song when your camping.

You have Rick Deininger on guitar, "Rock n Roll Hochie Coo " Great artist
Brain melting talent
Jamal...you should check out his live version of 'Tobacco Road'...seriously!!!
Its called Frankenstein because of all the music is pieced together
Thats crazy.. Us older folks can't comprehend not knowing who all these great players were..
Fyi...this footage is actually the rehearsal for the show 😉😬
That was the triangle offense to perfection
EW Group has always been hard to watch, in my opinion. But that albino looking badass can play almost anything he picks up.

Sick jam!...drummer was killing it
70's acid rules!
