I had a friend who watched this when it came out and he said the end sequence made his granpappy think we we're being invaded by aliens and went screaming out in the yard
It would be difficult to find 4 better musicians than these guys . A wonderful instrumental that still sounds as good nearly 40 years after I first saw it on "The Old Grey Whistle Test " . Beyond brilliant .
Gonna stick my neck out and say this...this to me rivals work by the great Frank Zappa. Until watching this, I was unaware how much Edgar had his 'hands on' this composition. By not only composing this but also playing multiple instruments {I realize the studio version was a bit of a cobble job) in a live setting; I have a new perspective on a song I have heard a thousand times. This version shows the genius of Mr. Winters and his band.
I grew up in this era and if you think about how raw and simple a lot of the music was at that time its clear to see that Edgar was def a very accomplished musician for his time.Def. a true pioneer not only for his style of music but also how he used a lot of various instruments into this song.
This is just so incredible... making music that sounds this good should always be fun, and it's great to see that these cats enjoyed the hell out of themselves on this day. Thank you to the genius that decided this should be preserved on video for all time.

the edgar winter group 4 men just getting after it edgar does it all rick derringer great dan Hartman on bass is just in the groove and of course chuck ruff a drummer who is just one of the best ever 1973 yes sir
Yup same here. My 3 1/2 year old daughter likes this. She really likes 60s 70s music. I am glad. We are sitting here coloring easter eggs and she said, Daddy, I want to hear Frankenstein! Not a problem. :) !
1:55 Lemmy Kilmister on bass guitar 4:00 Michael Schenker on the electric guitar 4:10 Peter Cris doing a drum solo 5:05 Junkie XL on the synthesizer 8:15 How to rock 45 years ago
·June 1972 Edgar Winter got his first certified Gold record with the single Frankenstein. Edgar pioneered strapping a synthesizer around his neck while playing this song live. Edgar played sax keyboards and timbales on the recording. The drum solo is Chuck Ruff on the set and Edgar on percussion.Of all the musicians I have to say Edgar was one of the most talented!
And a beautiful synth is was, by many accounts. It was never the household name a Moog became. Stay tuned kids, with Behringer cloning classic synths, an Arp-2600 clone could show up next year. If you ever watch Close Encounters, look for the 2600's big brother, the rare, and nearly unobtainable Arp 2500.
And the members of this group were amazing…. Dan Hartman (I can dream about you) on vocals & Bass. Rick Derringer on guitar & vocals (Rick’s roll hoochie koo). So good 😊
Being blown away in my HS years over this ....Drummer Chuck Ruff went on to play with Sammy Hagar, Dan Hartman bass would go on to write hits in the 80s '"I can dream about you" and mister Rock n Roll hoochy koo , Rick Derringer...the neighborhood kids talked and mimicked this tune for weeks after....
This is still my favorite rock song ever!! I am 65 and this is the best. I never have seen the video of it and this just added to my zest of the song, I am going to watch it again and again!! So "F" in awesome!
God this brings back great times....I remember my dad just brought this 1974 Dodge Van home customized of course lol..it had a quadrophonic 8track player and the 8 track Edgar Winter they only come out at night lol ...I was like 9 yes old and the cover scared the shit out of me....the quadraphonic sound would jump around from speaker to speakers was great back in the day....God bless you Dad miss you
There is everything you want in this video. Wild haircuts, weird and too small clothes, strange sounds, a lot of drugs I imagine and it's set in a freaking garage ! I bet people would call the police nowadays if something like this happened !
Daniel Slade: This is a good example to harken back to the days of yore where even if there were drugs; it was different: more novelty, sentimental and innocent, along with the aspect for one to experiment with his music. Today's ambiance: drugs are dangerous, and people's creativity is just as unique as cookie-cutter cupcakes, afraid to step away from the ordinary.
Man I miss those days! Great music and times. Great time to be a teenager! Plenty of weed and colors. No phones, video games, VCR s or cable. Hell we didnt even wear watches. Just the albums and concerts.
How can any true music lover not appreciate just how tight this band was? 361 people are living in their Mom's basement trying to get her dial up internet service to connect.
Talented drumming by any band always amazes me. I clicked on this video never hearing this song before, while being baked... this is possibly the greatest video on youtube
i remember when I showed my nephew how to properly play records on my kick - ass, high end stereo complete with vintage Linn turntable, in which he then discovered my full, immaculate album collection and proceeded to play the shit out of it with his friends ..... the best part was when he put on EW's frankentsein and I burst through the door with a mad look on my face..... they were petrified that at they did something wrong. I looked at them and yelled "what the fucks wrong with you guys.... turn that shit up!!"... and walked out. heh, heh, heh ............... old ( er) guy having fun...
Loved that you tripped them out rock on jams that were meant to be James load I'm sure it's a moment in time that niether of you will ever forget rock on
Edgar Winter at his finest! Now that was a grand moment in time! Awesome Rock and Roll fix, now filled (for a while) Gifted, talented, creative, Edgar Winter
Love these rock'n'roll circus improvs. Tight performance from a band with great chops. EW sure found a novel use for the ARP 2600 as well. No patches apart from what was available from the sliders on the signal path.
Janspek Are you kidding me? These guys are moving around like crazy and rock the hell out of those instruments. Compare that with virtually ANY band nowadays where all band members strum and hit the same notes over and over again and stand their rigidly.
So cool listening to music I grew up with. Edgar & his brother Johnny were 'albinos', an unusual sight for rock musicians. :) I enjoyed them at a blues festival in Greenville, MS in 2007.
4 guys and guitar, bass, drums, timbales, cowbell, saxophone, car horn, and an ARP 2600. Life was good. I'd put this live performance right up there with The Who's live performance of Won't Get Fooled Again from 1978.
Check out Prince's breakdown in his recent tour with 3rdeyegirl. The breakdown on 'Lets go crazy'.....All im saying is my,my,my he came near close to a perfect re-use.
Never heard this before, but its pretty amazing. Correct me if i'm wrong, but edgar winter is the one showing off his talent on multiple instruments, right?
I like how this goes 0:00 Hell yeah I can do Keyboard can u do better 2:08 Want u think can only do that f@#k u saxophone 3:52 Drumming time Bitch's 5:08 back on Keyboard baby 6:50 I have no idea want this is but am going 2 melt your face off with it 9:17 who's the man
Man, this KAT was a helluva musician but moreover he was a mad scientists at Moog Synthesizers, long before that got so much easier to use? He had something extra inside....lol, I was 11 when this hit me & I'm still rockin' it today !
For those of you who don't already know, the title "Frankenstein" is because it was cut together from a lot of different pieces in the studio. He doesn't go back to the keyboard at the end when playing it live is because he changed so many settings on the ARP 2600 it would take a couple of minutes to re-program it back to the original settings.
I think that was the best 9 minutes I spent on RUclips today.
Ever!
Correct. Same here. I couldn't turn away.
I had a friend who watched this when it came out and he said the end sequence made his granpappy think we we're being invaded by aliens and went screaming out in the yard

@@bradskinner7877 I am hardrocker ,but this progres rock way very like it!
I have never heard this exact version of Frankenstein. Now I rest my head to sleep that I have heard this awesome musical piece.
One of the greatest rock instrumentals OF ALL TIME! Love the extended version!
It would be difficult to find 4 better musicians than these guys . A wonderful instrumental that still sounds as good nearly 40 years after I first saw it on "The Old Grey Whistle Test " . Beyond brilliant .
Edgar Winter is a genius and grand wizard of rock. He is playing the keyboard, sax, drums and never misses a frikken beat, Just AMAZING!!!
Everyone talking about Edgar being so talented, but that drummer and bassist are perfect.
albino. as a bass player i sincerely appreciate people like you . thanks for not overlooking the rythm section.👍
Im a drummer 👍
You are the best when you work with the best.
Every one of them is killing it, and they know it...
Ed Ram
it was named after the monster maker for good reason. that they came so close to the studio version in a live performance is amazing.
Rumor has it, the people that filmed this still wear masks on their faces to this day. Melted off by this tune. Permanently.
afrosheenix dude their heads were completely vaporized.
This song used to kick my ass mentally when I was like 8 because of how awesome it was. Here I am, still listening 21 years later
It kicked my brain when I was 12, and that was 46 years ago! Long live the EWG.
Well nowadays that’s a good thing lol
bruh seeing cunts 3 or 4 years ago mention masks is so buzzy lmao

Actually the tune was written by Johnny Winter and Edgar Winter.
@Nebby Scumbold Zappa was about so much more than smugness. Your comment would suggest that you actually know very little about Zappa.
@@horowizard Ok
I'd just say that they're both great in their own way
These guys played with such visceral intensity, honesty, and proficiency. Modern music and its shallow inauthencity makes Frankenstein timeless.
who would thumb down this ya could even come close.....best rock song ever
Quadrophonic sound, a water bed, and now a strobe light. Gentlemen, say hello to the second base mobile!
bad ass ride.o those teenage headphones were great
WICKED!!!

And the 4-way Windowpane!
I had the quad system and water bed...black light strobe with appropriate posters on the wall...load the pipe!
one of the most underrated tracks in rock, monumentally epic. i love the double drum solo. classic track!!
i'm only 31 but i do know good music
How could somebody NOT like this?

That was my first concert ever! 14 years old, with Jo Jo Gunne and Blues Image 1972
What a great song. Whole band shines on this one. Love the bass.
I'm only 28 so this song is 14+ years older than me but I always grew up on the bad ass oldies

Awesome video, I never realized how talented Edgar Winter was.
This is back when you had to actually play an instrument to call yourself a musician.

Frankenstein is music history.
Man this song just comes out of nowhere and just has an unbelievable guitar riff, oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's Friday
Ok, I have listened to this , no bs, like 50 times in the last year, and I aint done .

For those of you who don't already know, the title "Frankenstein" is because it was cut together from a lot of different pieces in the studio. He doesn't go back to the keyboard at the end when playing it live is because he changed so many settings on the ARP 2600 it would take a couple of minutes to re-program it back to the original settings.
