When you're an albino growing up in those hot Texas summers, before video games, you stay in and master about 5 instruments and become a massive rock star....or at least Edgar did lol

One of the side effects of being albino is supposed to be less energy and stamina. I can’t imagine what Edgar could have done if he was ‘normal’.

Great reaction! Both Edgar and his brother Johnny are albinos so their hair is genetic. Lol. Frankenstein was standard radio play when I was in junior/senior high school. Regrettably I never saw them live - this performance is way over the top!

Edgar Winter is credited as being the first musician to strap a keyboard on like a guitar as you see him do with his 70s analog synthesizer here. Absolutely great concerts! Another great reaction guys! 👍🏻

Back in those days, lots of people, especially guys, went on and on about what a great guitarist Johnny Winter was. And he was really good, but there were a lot of good guitarists around. There was NOBODY like Edgar. There are so many small duets in this piece, and every one of them is tight as a tick. Can you even imagine the amount of rehearsal that went into this performance? God I love this song. At the end, when Edgar is playing the feedback loop, and the drummer is playing the drums, every band member is moving in time with them, even though it is often syncopated, not, syncopated, not. They all knew every note to a T. Miraculous musicianship.

Edgar Winter will be touring as a member of the Ringo Starr All Starr Band late this Spring/early this Summer and will be performing "Frankenstein" during the shows.

Have been to several of Ringo's shows, they're always a blast. So many best of the best. 👍

The beat the drummer throws down after the second pause is just sick.. Also the secret to 70's rocker hair is to not wash it...

I remember when I first heard this, the shorter version, on the radio back in the seventies. There's a couple other songs off that album, "They Only Come Out at Night", that got a lot of airplay. They were "Free Ride" and "Hanging Around". The short guy, in white, is Rick Derringer. Edgar still performs, in fact he has toured with Ringo Starr's All Star Band.

Glad they weren't named snowy and frosty

My very first album I bought with my baby sitting money was Shock Treatment. I love the way he blends rock, funk, jazz and blues to his music.

Now THAT was a MIND BLOWN reaction! Love it!

Now you need to do the long version of “Hocus Pocus” by Focus. The summer these two songs were out was really odd for music on the radio. Just imagine Granny turning on the radio and this coming out.

There's no question that this is a masterpiece of art-rock/prog rock (and this isn't even the regular guitarist - Ronnie Montrose was unable to perform here, so Edgar's producer Rick Derringer filled in) Edgar, obviously, is an impressive multi-instrumentalist, and used those skills to the full on this song. The song as it is played here is indeed a "Frankenstein" of sorts: the various themes in the song had been played as warm-up jams (referred to simply as "The Instrumental") at Edgar (and Johnny) Winter concerts - needing a final song for the album "They Only Come Out at Night", Edgar wanted a high-powered instrumental, and started splicing together reel-to-reel tape recordings of various performances. Drummer Chuck Ruff saw the apparent hacked and slashed tape all over, and said "Wow, man, it's like Frankenstein." ... and the song was named! As to Dee's question "Where do you go next?"? To Gentle Giant, of course! One of the few bands to use even more instruments in a single song than Edgar :-) kzread.info/dash/bejne/g32oxNeCqrzOo5s.html Another option is Mike Oldfield - whose most famous work - "Tubular Bells" was originally recorded with almost all of the fifteen or so instruments, using an early version of overdubbing. This version has multiple instrumentalists, but is an excellent version ... kzread.info/dash/bejne/fYyV1tizh6TgfLg.html

This song got its name from how it was pieced together in the studio from edited strips of recording tape. One of the members of the band suggested it was like Frankenstein. The song's origins came from the band jamming around several different versions of this during their performances. When it came time to record They Only Come Out at Night, the album on which this song appears, it was the last song they included (because they needed one more song to fill the album), but before that there had never been a specific version of the song.

He was ahead of his time in music. I was in High School with him and his brother Johnny. It’s great to see him recognized for his talent. Thank You for this….❤️

Saw them in concert in 1995. They were just as good live as in studio. So much energy. The one in white is Rick Derringer. Check out his song Rock and Roll, Hoochie-Koo.

I hardly think Rick Derringer was star struck. He had major hits of his own with the mcCoys and was the producer on the studio album. Edgar and Rick made a good team tho.

You can't imagine how we felt when this came out in '73. Was nothing like it at the time, and I was fortunate enough to get to see both the Edgar Winter Group and the Johnny Winter Group about a year apart in Nashville. Two fantastic concerts!

This song was written. While. In his brother Johny's group. When they spliced the first recording together. The tape was everywhere. Someone remarked this looks like... Frankenstein. Which I think is much better than the working title the 2 Drum Song.

I saw this performed in a bar, front row with my feet on the stage. The single greatest display of talent ever!!!

THE EG Group was sadly very short lived but they made a huge mark with They Only Come Out At Night and Shock Treatment . ..I appreciate her really seeing the talent her for what it was and still is because they have been overlooked at times compared to other big well knowns but once you really give the EWG a chance ,their sound will stay with you ...

Love it!! Please bring back the days of talented artists like this. Talanted musicians who work together for years and are capable of producing outstanding musical and vocal works. Great reaction!

You like the hair...you too can have hair like that...if you're an albino! Both Edgar and his brother Johnny are (were) albinos. My first concert ever was Edgar Winter's White Trash with the same lineup we've seen here (incl. Rick Derringer, a star in his own right) back in 1973. One of the best concerts I've ever seen. The 'Tobacco Road' album is great.

When they were doing this live at first they just called it the drum song When they finally decided to record it they realized it was way to long for an album cut So they set about editing it and the cut up pieces of tape strewn all over wondering how they were going to put it back together One of them said it's like Frankenstein and that's how it got its name...lol

D brought tears to my eyes. And Chad was over the moon sharing this with his wife. Amazing stuff. Great reaction. Peace

It is so wonderful to watch Dee as she APPRECIATES cool music!! You've got yourself a GREAT gal there! Member of the DEE FAN CLUB here!!!!

Lol Chod. I had to come back to comment on you calling this period a “Garden of Eden”musically. I’ve been saying that forever. Truly one of the most creative and innovative era’s in the history of popular music, throughout all genre’s. Dee’s response just says it all. It’s art. 🤯

My older sister was in love with both brothers. She saw Johnny and Edgar Winters in concert and she was in Love!

Man I saw him in the 80's play a show in a bar(canada),this was the closing song...blew the roof off that place..and Props to the guitarist Rick Derringer.

Young lady, you are absolutely correct! You DID just witness a true Masterpiece by the Maestro, Edgar Winter! 🤘🏻♥️ fyi: The “guy in all white” on the guitar is the amazing Rick Derringer! 💕😍

This was a hit when I was ten. The juke-box at the local Dairy-Bar had this cranking all throughout the spring and summer of 1973. This song is branded to my brain with memories of that time as a kid, lovin' it.

He explains this song how it was named and how it came together besides his brother & family I can’t get enough of this

I had the honor of seeing this multi -talent in 1974 Tucson Arizona. Even at the age of 13 I couldn't help but notice the musicianship this whole group possessed. Nobody takes the time to create "Masterpieces" like this anymore. Great song to watch live.

The bass player is Dan Hartman of "I can dream about you" fame.

You guys are great. Great reaction! The winter brothers were part of my musical upbringing.

That guitarist is Rick Derringer, best known for his solo hit, "Rock 'n Roll Hoochie Koo" and "Hang On Sloopy" when he was with The McCoys.🔥😁❤✌

Great reactions! Such a pleasure to see how much you enjoyed this as I did when I first saw The Edgar Winter Group live on Feb 3. 1973 at Winterland in San Francisco. The album had just been released in November '72. Unbelievable how they could perform Frankenstein live, and do it better than the studio version. Of course the hallucinogens of those times were very helpful in expanding the communal experience of the entire concert. Also, a big shout out to Rick Darrenger on guitar who also produced this song. Peace and Love to all!

Now you have to check out Johnny Winter doing DIVIN DUCK , live at Rockpalest , or if you want more blues , then check out Johnny Winter doing MISSISSIPPI BLUES , live at Rockpalest , you will enjoy !!!!!

I grew up with the Edgar winters group. Back then nice song to trip with. I am 65 now and don't do that anymore.

I'm from the 70's and have seen both Edgar and Johnny together and solo several times and I always felt like they touched my soul..!!!

Back when musicians were Real musicians. Edgar winter group incredible! Got to see them in my younger days. Frickin great show.

I saw Edgar live twice in the same small club, and Johnny once in the same club. It’s mind blowing watching Edgar perform Frankenstein for the first time. My and my buddies loved this song on the radio when we were kids, but I never knew he played all those instruments until I saw him live.

I don't know why, but I love watching this drummer. He seems so into it, so fast and everywhere at once, and yet somehow, he makes it look easy

this, and santana's "soul sacrifice" woodstock performance, are two of the greatest.

My kids and I were privileged enough to see Edgar Winter live in 2017 as he and his band opened for Alice Cooper and even though he’s much older now, he still brings it and doesn’t hold back. He still has powerful vocals and still plays that keyboard with the strap, and still plays the sax and the drums and my kids and I were dumbfounded and stared at each other with our eyes wide open and mouths wide open. Edgar Winter plus Alice Cooper equals perfection.

One can not watch this without it changing you...forever! Whenever it's been a crappy day, this clears the cobwebs! Perfection!

You all forgot that Edgar was also a Roadie and relief driver for the group!😎🤣🤣Stay safe.

Remember playing this on our 8 track EVERYDAY

Legends ahead of their time. Hugely ignored by the mainstream

Here is a crazy fact about Frankenstein! Every time they play the song it is different yet at the core it's the same song!

I had the great pleasure of not only seeing them do this song at that time, but I also saw Edgar Winter's White Trash twice, Johnny Winter once solo, Johnny Winter And, and Johnny and Edgar in concert together. Great days man.

☮️💜. And he’s still rockin

The guy in the white shirt that's "star struck" is Rick Derringer, who's a writer/producer/guitar player and he knows what he's seeing and working with. Edgar was the guy. Awesome.

I actually got to see him once backing up the Allman Brothers opening act for The Allman Brothers Band Boston Garden late 70s early 80s

You hit the nail on the head "When you witness greatness" !!!!

Edgar Winter is such a good sax player that he has been featured on recordings by a lot of top artists, playing the saxophone: Meat Loaf, Tina Turner, David Lee Roth, Todd Rundgren, and many others. The man is a monster, thus "Frankenstein" makes even more sense.

Hahaha... Glad that you loved it . Grew up with him and his amazing family in Carson . RIP Chuck . And thanks Man .

Me being a big-time r&b fan this is my favorite rock song ever!

and this ladies and gentlemen is how you make a musical Frankenstein. i love this. thank you for the reaction smiles and love

This tune was one of the highest charting instrumentals in history. Check out Edgar Winters White Trash live at the Apollo Theater: 'Cool Fool' and 'Do Yourself a Favor', funky as hell. Ask any saxophone player...Edgar on Alto is some top shelf shit.

Always loved this song, but never saw this amazing version/performance before. Thanks for reviewing/reacting to it! Great reaction from both of you!

Chod..... No worries, love you!!!! There is nothing wrong with you breaking your own rules every once in a while.... Even if you are the absolute best at the particular thing... Great song. It's worth it!!!

What a talented guy edgar is. I started playing guitar when I was 4, keyboards at 6 & drums at 8. I can now play 7 different instruments and never had a lesson in my life. I'm now 60 & watching this video reminds me of how much raw talent there used to be. We have lost so much to the digital world, especially when you add autotune to the equation. I doth thy hat.

Those guys are and were stars on their own as well. The late bassist Dan Hartman wrote several songs to other artists and had a solo career as well. Guitarist Rick Derringer also has had successful career as solo artist and producer. On the recorded version the guitarist was Ronnie Montrose, another star quality guitarist and group leader.

Edgar is a music genius it makes me wonder if he opened a portal to another world with this performance?

Great song I have never seen this version. I’m old I grew up with Edgar Winter. He was my brother’s favorite back in the 70s. Boy you would put this song on and if you had good speakers you would get a treat as the sound would literally be spinning around your head like surround sound

Iconic song. Crazy time signature!!!! Jazzy, a banger/ jam.

🎼Masterpiece🎼

I love that you guys are both so open. I heard he and his brother many times live in the seventies. Geniuses. Much love to you both.

Edgar Winter strapped a keyboard into a keytar. If I recall due to Edgar and Johnny both having albinism it caused several vision defects and very high sensitivity to light and sun exposure. While their young school age friends were playing outdoors, Edgar and Johnny were forced to stay indoors. So their focus became playing and experimenting with an assortment of musical instruments

I had this on record in 1973 at age 19! The Winter brothers are worth a listen!

That's what some of those synthesizers looked like back in '73, with Edgar working the knobs.

Hi you guys, both Edgar and Johnny Winter were albinos---beautiful white hair---beautiful music. Keep listening.

That is one awesome jam session!

Can Edgar top this... Yes ! Edgar & Johnny Winter...Tabaco Road (live) 🎤😎 🎷 🎹 Its time......... give her Johnny on guitar 🎸 😎 & Edgar with all of his toys & he's singing

Not may people have mastered playing the ARP 2600 synth like Edgar Winter. The whole band were hella talented, but Edgar is a damn legend.

Saw them perform this in July of 1974. I was 14, and my first outdoor concert.

I was in the ninth grade when the song came out. My girlfriend asked me what my favorite song was and I said Frankenstein. She told me hers was Natural High, a love song. I felt kind of ridiculous telling her my favorite was Frankenstein after she told me that. I was supposed to tell her some kind of Love song. How can I remember that to this date? That's how awesome I thought this song was. You ought to hear the studio version.

Yes he also plays guitar and sings👍

One of the Baddest Jams in the Land, of that there is no doubt.

I saw Edgar Winter in a club with less than 150 people in Fort Collins, Colorado back in 1994! Mind blowing!

Great reaction Chod & Dee! My favorite part of watching reaction videos is to see someone being profoundly impacted by experiencing great music, like Dee was here! Edgar and his band are amazing! 🎹🎷🥁😎 You should check out "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo" by his guitarist, Rick Derringer (the guy in white).
