    I sat next to Edgar on a long flight. I didn’t recognize him and we had a wonderful cross country conversation about a range of topics. When he introduced himself as “Edgar” on his way to a gig in Topeka I realized who he was. Very nice man. He invited me to the Heart concert he was opening for as his guest and I had a great time.

    I had the pleasure of sitting with Edgar on a cross country flight several years back. I didn’t recognize him and we had a spirited conversation about a variety of things; favorite authors, etc.. when the conversation came around to the purpose of our respective trips I explained that I had a ‘gig’ in KC and he told me he had a gig in Topeka. My gig was teaching a class….he explained his was “opening for ‘the Girls’l…I asked, “The Girls?” “Yes, Heart….” Then he introduced himself as “Edgar” and I immediately knew who my new ‘friend’ was. He then asked if I was free the following evening and invited me to the concert as his guest! What a wonderful man. His virtuosity during the opening was epic. Heart was great, of course, but his opening act outshone the ‘Girls’ that night.

    This is the line up I saw in 1973. A girl & I "spare changed" over $30 at school, "To send 2 underpriveledged kids to the Edgar Winter Concert." Went to the Civic Center I bought an "orchestra seat" 8 row almost center, for $5!!! They went for $5.50. Great concert! During one tune, they all took turns playing all the instruments. I was AMAZED. (A friends mom drove 7 of us to the concert, in her station wagon.) Great band, their timing, the breaks, fabulous. Edgar was a true multi-instrumentalist. Heard an interview where he & Johnny, said in their early days, when they needed another instrument Edgar learned it! First piano. Heard "Frankenstein" on an underground FM station, in the 10th grade! I was blown away. It hadn't hit the regular stations, there was still a huge AM audience then. I bought the album ($3.50), my Mom had an absolute melt down, when she saw the cover! Still "They Only Come Out At Night" is a masterpiece. Not even a semi throw away tune on the album. Wish I still had it.

    I'm sure glad I found this one. The players are playing each and every note in real time absolutely live with no background dubs or extraneous overlapping effects. Astoundingly fun to watch and listen to. All 4 of these guys are great in their own right. BTW, Dan Hartman wrote and sang the Edgar Winter song "Free Ride".

    Dan Hartman (lead vocals and guitar intro riff on "Free Ride") playing the bass here. As a solo artist Hartman in the late 70s had a big soft rock hit with "I Can Dream About You" and "Instant Replay" with Vincent Cusano (Vinnie Vincent) playing guitar on the latter. Rick Derringer played the lead solo on Al Yankovic's "Eat It", had a huge hit with Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo and sang lead vocals and played the guitar solo for The McCoys big mega hit back in the 1960s "Hang on Sloopey." There are some super talented individuals playing right here. Amazing! Thanks for your great commentary, Fil.

    The record companies went to the "Formula" soon after this. I know they have a lot of fans, but I saw Rush before they had an album out. They opened for Hawkwind, believe it or not. We (the crowd) weren't very impressed, the consensus seemed to be, they sounded like Zep. Any way they made millions. But it used to be, a band/artist had to be distinctive, they couldn't sound like any one else. Now, the modern rock seems a blur, to me. I'm reduced to listening to the "Classic Rock Stations". There have been jams I liked since the late 80s, but I started listening to R&B then, now it's laughable IMO. Went through my Reggae phase in the late 70s, early 80s, after my guitar hero died. Any way, there was a lot of talent during that era. Shame I'm old enough to remember when that was the new music!😂

    I can hardly believe that I went to a Johnny Winter concert in the gymnasium of the Vo-tech High School in my home town in Sussex County New Jersey. I was only like 13yrs. old, and I was absolutely amazed! Edgar was there too...but I sure know I didn't fully appreciate what I was hearing, that's for sure. I think it was in 1969 or '70. So, when "Frankenstein" came out, in '73, I was a junior in H.S., and school was only a week or 2 before we let out for summer vacation. Was a great song for the background music of frantic teenagers so ready for school to let out for the summer! It set the tone...can you imagine what it was like in the "Winter's" home as a kid? Wow! Thanks again Fil...trying to do some catch up with all your analysis of the great ones🤗 of music...glad I found your chan.!🆒👍😎also, I have to add, the rumor was that Johnny was a friend of someone that went to Sussex County Vo-Tech, and that's why he did a concert in the gym of a h.s., that probably only held about 2-300 people at its max capacity.That kid had street cred after that favor, no doubt. If true... l

    The last time I saw every play was in 1992 at a Memorial Day chili cook-off in Lexington Kentucky. It was put on by the local radio station and was a hell of a time! I was working security and got to go backstage and meet him and spent about two minutes talking to him and he was back on stage. He played for about two hours at night. Was a great concert. Thanks Fil! Peace!🤘
