He sings like he plays his instruments Hes a beast . Watch him sing with his brother playing guitar on Tobacco Road live Oh he tears up the organ too

In 1962, at the age of 17, Johnny and younger brother Edgar Winter were at a BB King show in Beaumont and talked King into allowing Johnny to get on stage and play. It was his first experience playing blues to a black audience. Johnny Winter became the first non-African American artist to be inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 1988. In 1989, American singer and songwriter Tina Turner recorded a cover version of "The Best" for her seventh solo studio album, Foreign Affair (1989), with a saxophone solo played by Edgar Winter. he is in her video.

I remember, I was in school with them and played bass. They were outstanding… we are so much better because of then.

I saw Rick open for Frampton. Some amazing guitar playing that night

I about lost it when you said, "What's next, is he going to get on the drums" and that's exactly what he does next! I can't wait to see your face when that happens! That's Edgar Winter playing all those instruments and he plays even more than you saw him play in this video! It was priceless when he came back playing the drums! Thank you for your fabulous reaction! I can't wait for your next reaction, when he starts messing with the sound! I don't know what that's called but I love it!

RIP Chuck Ruff. One of the greatest drummer of all time.

Musical geniuses, way ahead of their time! 💥💥💥💥

Great reaction. Edgar and his brother Johnny are albino. When they were young, they couldn't play outside much because of that condition. They stayed inside and learned everything they could about music. Johnny was a great blues style artist. You should react to Johnny and Edgar doing Tobacco Road. I saw the Edgar Winter Group in concert in 1975. They didn't disappoint. How did you know that he was going to jump on the drums? 😃

Edgar plays so many different instruments, amazing 🤩

I'm with you. Easily the coolest music video I've ever seen. So much talent on that one stage.

We ROCKED in the 70's!! 🤘🤘 Your reaction was priceless! Liked and Subcribed!

I grew up listening to the shorter version released on vinyl for radio play. This one's great, thinking of that one, because it's like each phrase gets repeated, exploring it further. They just wring every last drop out of this one! Great performance by them, and great reaction from you!

Oh man check out (Rick Derringer) “Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo” 😂

All of these guys were phenomenal!

These were musicians, masters of their craft, innovators. They played for the love of music, and they did it well.

Lol ur face when they first started. Amazing musicians!!

Love your reaction !! 💕💞💓💖 Thank you, sir. Much appreciated :)🤩🥰✨

*Pauses video 1/3 way in…”I’ve never seen a live performance like this! What’s next, he gonna jump on the drums?!” LOL

Such a great song, glad you finally did it. So many great songs by the Winters brothers

Some have already mentioned this but watch the live version of “Tobacco Road” with Edgar and Johnny Winter. Johnny is one of the most acclaimed blues guitarists ever, and watching them together is a treat.

Agreed!

I got it in 8 track quadraphonic in my high school car and the drums would in circle us and go all the way around in side my car it was the best way to listen to it back then.

Your face is priceless. I'm 67, I saw them in concert in 1973. I was 17. Stammer away because that's how everyone feels when they hear that song. It's bitchin

I just discovered your channel first time watching and love your reactions. Hope to be seeing more soon! The great Rick Derringer on guitar. A fantastic musician in his own right.

Keep opening your mind brother! It does a body, mind and soul good.

Saw them in Savannah in the 70's....fantastic show. Rick Derringer opened for them. We had some great music!

Thx! One of the best reactions ever!

In the 70s we would all sit in bean bag chairs with blacklights on glowing posters and listen to Edgar Winters! ❤✌

Went to see Johnny Winter in 76 or 77. Edgar was going through SF airport and decided to join his brother in Oakland Coliseum! Johnny came out with guitar and Edgar with his keyboard around his neck and they jammed until Edgar had to catch his flight! Then Johnny's band played, it was great!

That was sooo much fun thank u. Hvnt hurd this since the 70's!! Bless yr heart! U shud here him SING!! LOL

Saw Johnny Winter, BB King in Denver 1973 I think. Best show ever.

Omg..just recalled an ancient memory of my friend Bonnie and I in the 7th grade made up a dance to this called the Funky Frankenstein lol 😆

Edgar .... just fkin great!! Real musicians !!!

LMAO "What's he gonna do, jump on the drums next"? As a matter of fact YES!

This blared from my brothers room back in the 70s. Love Edgar and Johnny

Anyone who is not blown away by this has no concept of what "sound" is. (Not to mention unbelievable talent!)

What's next, is he gonna jump on the drums? Lol. Priceless reaction. Love it.

Love your face being amazed!! This is another level of greatness!!

Omg the music you are listening to lately is some of the best rock and roll of all times. You're giving me so many great memories of my youth. It is so cool seeing a young peraon appreciating and being honestly moved by these greats songs. Love you!

They Only Come Out At Night... I still have this vinyl. Frankenstein still kills me ! Thx JB !

You have the most beautiful reaction I have ever seen, got loves you.

Brothers Johnny and Edgar Winter, both albinos, would show up at Road Houses and Blues Clubs when they were young teens and stay all night for a chance to play on stage. These were usually "Black" nightclubs and the were the two Whitest White Boys you would ever see. They would play and blow people's minds! The Frightened many in these Clubs who thought they might be Demons they played so well!

And lest we forget, Rick Derringer (in the light-colored pants and shirt) ... .Another legend in his own right.

This song is a classic for sure. I loved your reaction. You show a genuine appreciation for the music that you review. Keep up the good work!

A+ your best reaction to an epic song.. I just grew up with.this…just an LP I had as a kid… super respectful reaction …loved it all

- *Rick Derringer - Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo* I Third that request 🔥🤘🏽🤘🏽

Wow that video, just wow, the combination of the music seeing the performance, and this guy reacting almost made me feel like I was getting an acid flashback but in a good way LOL. thanks, JBLETHAL TV that really made my day ❤

Your reaction is priceless 😅 thanks for the great song, I love it too ♥️🤗

After I saw JB's reaction to Shine On You Crazy Diamond, I was going to recommend this. Then I forgot! I'm glad someone else took care of it.

Goosebumps every single time

It's so fun to watch your mind get blown!

Edgar Winter and his Bro Johnny made history The people they played with Unbelievable

You MUST watch Edgar and Johnny Winter "Tobacco Road" live version from around 1972.

You should try his brother's song, Tabaco Road by Johnny Winters. You definitely will be blown away again.

I saw them LIVE in a small town in Iowa... Wadena... an outdoor concert at night... along with many other groups all during the day.

Check out Edgar and Johnny Winters live version of Tobacco Road, that one will blow your mind also guaranteed!

Welcome back to a time zone, when music was REAL! Edgar and his brother Johnnie were musical geniuses.. And that's putting it mildly.. 🙂

You got passion! Never lose it.

They are in our local music Hall of Fame

👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 your reaction is priceless

Great reaction to a great masterpiece. It was funny when you said "what's next is he going to play the drums?". Yup. 😁 Edgar Winter in my opinion is "Other worldly ". 🤞😊

YES! You have been educated bud! 1973 baby!

Edgar Winter: Keyboards,Saxophone,Kettle Drums/ Rick Derringer: Guitar/ Chuck Ruff: Drums/ Dan Hartman: Bass. Such a Brilliant performance

This song is crazy! Love it. By the way, this is a true live performance. The recording is different.

I seriously thought your face was going to melt off, lol, great reaction!

Best reaction to anything I have seen. Your face!

Gosh i miss those days so much

The look on your face is priceless

I was lucky enough to see Edgar in 1981. He played in a theater in Winston-Salem, NC that had been converted into a club that sold beer, the sloping floor had been terraced off and and had tables scattered in the back, but we were down near the front. We stood there, IDK how many people, but as many as the small place could hold. Since the Winter brothers are albino, Edgar's pale flesh and hair took on the hue of whatever color the lights happened to be at any given moment. Finally he howled; "TIME FOR ME TO UNLEASH MY MONSTER!!!" and destroyed us with "Frankenstein" for what seemed an eternity. I was tripping my balls off on three hits of Red Dragon blotter acid, so I had no perception of time. Saw Loen Russell at the same place a few weeks later, but that's another story

One of the things I love about watching reactions is seeing moments like this. In one song, You just found out that music can get ten times more awesome than you ever thought it could. It's like finding out about bacon.

This is fantastic! What a thing! But if you're enjoying Frankenstein Live for its amazing and innovative musicianship, you should also enjoy Hocus Pocus Live by Focus, also from 1973. How ironic that perhaps the wildest and craziest pieces were done the same year! You will be amazed by this song, too! Hang on to your seat!

Mind Blowing !!!!!!!

My favorite song of all time. "They Only Come Out At Night" was the first album I ever bought, and it was for this song specifically. I was 10 years old and had to save up my allowances for a couple of months 'til I had enough money, but I _HAD_ to have the original version on the album and not some chopped up radio edir. I'm 59 years old now and still have that album....and I _STILL_ love this song. Another cool (and funky) instrumental you should react to is "Outta Space" by Billy Preston. Also, "Hocus Pocus" by Focus. Neither has lyrics, although "Hocus Pocus" does have vocals, just not like you'd think. Check them both. You _WON'T_ be disappointed.

Over the Target , yet again ... Give this one 6 stars bro !

That's our boy Bad Bob!

Got to hear Johnny Winter's song 'Tobacco Road'

I loved your reaction to this video, it was awesome seeing you feel so good! The same way I feel when i listen to them. Thank you for reacting to their performance!

love this!!!!!

Will leave you speechless

There's a documentary that's on youtube about the ARP 2600 that Edgar is playing (that he happens to be in); it's a good watch on its own, but he goes into how he made the sounds for this track in particular, because it was such an early hit single to feature that synth.

The Very First Time Anyone Ever Slung A Keyboard Synth Around His Neck On Stage.

Do Tobacco Road next! Same group!

Now you see it! We lived it

Saw him and Jonny in 1973 in Winterland Arena in San Francisco. I was sitting on the floor when this song came on and everyone was stomping and jumping and rushed the stage. I almost got trampled. Great memories, thank you.

I've heard parts of this before and as background for shows but never knew the title before or that it was by the Edgar Winter Group.

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.

Now you need to hear the studio version.

My favorite Edgar Winter song is “Dying to live!”

“What’s next, he’s gonna jump on some drums?” Me: 😁

Music from my young teenage days.

Famous story is once someone asked Edgar what instruments does he play and his answer was yes.

Edgar Plays Organ, Sax, Synth, Timp Drums. You Really Need To Listen To Their Version Of "Tobbacco Road"

“What’s he guna do next hop on the drums” 😂😂😂

I had the 45 rpm as a kid.

The programme this was on is 'The Old Grey Whistle Test' and has SO many classic performances...from The Sensational Alex Harvey Band doing 'Next' to Joy Division, The Damned, Fleetwood Mac, Floyd, Sadistic Mika Band, Bowie, Meat Loaf, Siouxsie Sand the Banshees, U2, Elton John, Randy Newman, Marley and Hendrix among HUNDREDS of others....you name it, they were on this awesome show.

They had so many amazing performance on that show. You could do an entire reaction channel devoted to just The Grey Whistle! and maybe the Midnight Special too!!

Edgar and Johnny Winters were both albino and they couldn't go outside and had restricted lives growing up and do, they learned how to play instruments and became some of the best musicians ever!!!

Check them out doing Tobacco Road live also.

How about Sly and the Family Stone.. 69 and 70 they were big.. I want to take you higher, Stand, Thank You Fallentenme Be Myself, Everybody is a Star, Dance to the Music, Hot fun in the Summertime

Easy street by this group is my favorite

They got more. I Rushed out and got the album this song was on "They Only Come Out At Night". - (Free Ride) - is my next favorite. - 1973 is the same year that Emerson Lake and Palmer came out with their Brain Salad Surgery Album. Karn Evil 9 takes up most of the album at 29 minutes in 3 Impressions. Toccata has extensive use of synthesizers and the 1st ever electric drum solo.

For this performance: Edgar Winter, Keyboard, Alto Sax, Timbales, ARP 2600 Synth. Rick Derringer, Guitar. Dan Hartman, Bass. Chuck Ruff, Drums.
