Not only is Edgar a cool, great guy, he oozes class, with an intelligent, sense of humour. I used my desire to see Johnny, Derringer and himself together, as an excuse to finally visit New York. Both he and Johnny were uniquely, prodigious wonders of the like we'll never see...thank you, guys!!
Listen to Edgar's saxophone work on Todd rundgrens fair warning, from the album initiation. He's an incredible player no matter the instrument!! An American icon!!
Thank you KLOS for posting these wonderful, and historical moments. They are not only enjoyable, but educational. Steve Jones is so fun to listen to. Thank you again.
Jonsey seems to cut through all the practiced responses people have by just being who he is. I really love this program, and Jonesy is an excellent interviewer.
A friend played for Edgar for a good while and I was able to meet and hang out with Edgar one night. Truth is; he's just that nice of a guy. A legend with no pretense whatsoever. I watch this interview and it's the same guy. Genuine, and I think he just likes people. What Jonesy does very well, now that I watch these interviews; he asks a question and gets out of the way...and that really is a talent.
A last minute thought Let’s Go To The El Mocombo tonite to see Edgar Winter early 90’s I think ? front of the stage , they were fantastic , surprised how much Saxophone Edgar played & that Doors Tribute Edgar Winter w/ Chris Spedding Crystal Ship Superb
Few days ago I was watching a Howard Jones Interview and he mentioned Edgar Winter seeing him in concert and how amazing he was then I watched the arp history of synthesizers tonight ,, folks I just now discovered who Edgar is , I have listen to Gary Wright , Patrick Cowley , Giorgio Moroder , Vince Clark , Kraftwerk , Howard Jones , so many more I am amazed ,, what a wonderful man and amazing talent ,, I Love it that he is from Texas ,,,so now I know who really was brave enough and creative enough to make the synthesizer a musical interment I had heard the songs in my youth and his name Edgar Winter and even photographs but today it all came together in the most pure ignorant pleasant way now I know who edger Winter is ,,
Such a beautiful soul! God bless him. If he's still around, I wonder if he's watched the many reaction videos of his songs? Tobacco Road is my favorite!
I saw a interview where he daid he watched bideos on YT that he had not known were out there. Maybe it was the reaction videos? Either way - hope he gets to eatch them!
Keiko Matsui jazz pianist also plays guitar accordion keyboard hybrid with Bob James and Fourplay colloborations together. Acoustic Alchemy jazz fusion band along with Rippingtons and Spyro Gyra.

God Bless Sir.
Love you and this interview Edgar. Have seen you many times and Johnny a few more. Appreciate the tribute to your brother. He was my guitar guy, hands down. The talent between you is unmatched as brothers. I just listened to an interview with you and Johnny and he wouldn’t shut up!.. I have never heard him talk so much and reveal his personality. Drugs robbed a lot from him but he was always the man to me. I really enjoyed this very much. Can’t wait to hear the album you referenced.
Edgar really is a great musician and person. Really down to Earth with no pretense. If you haven’t seen the 1969 video of he and Johnny doing Tobacco Road, you should. It’s on here. Edgar is definitely a Hall of Farmer but it doesnt sound like he’s losing sleep over it.
Just came across your show on you tube after watching some SEX PISTOLS shit ,i love it your style is real which is refreshing in this phoney world,good on ya MR S,Joones, from a PISTOLS fan in England
Edgar and Johnny were some of my first music hero`s.Edgar always impressed me.I saw every combination of the Winter bros and their multiple combinations of collaborations with other great artists live through the years.So many I don`t remember the year or venue.Growing up in that era was great.Edgar is so multi instrumental and voice talented,much Love to Edgar! Thank You EW
Jonesy I’m hooked on your show finally a interviewer that doesn’t ask stupid questions and live music improvisation it’s loose fun I love the story’s didn’t realize Edger was at Woodstock great work Jonesy
Edgar is so into it, when he dies he will land in a piano seat and just carry on where he left off. His enthusiasm, he seems more like 23 than past 65. I love how he looks the same as he always did. Edgar always had his own thing, and inspired everyone he met. Jonesy is great, lets Edgar tell the tales, and it all went by so fast. Really enjoyed this.
He just won a grammy for his tribute album to Johnny called “brother Johnny”. It us a fantastic album with lots of fantastic guests,etc. Buy it -you will love it!!!!! ☮️💟💟
I saw Johnny and Edgar at the Big A with Blue Oyster Cult and ZZ Top in 77 and they were unbelievable, to this day it's one of the best sets I've ever seen. They lowered a big shade to keep the sun off them. Some talented people in that band.
Saw Edgar Winter with Montrose on Guitar doing the Frankenstein tour at Georgia Tech. They opened for West, Bruce & Lang in 1973. Really good concert combo and performance.
This is cool. playing with the sound looks like so much fun and I can imagine Keith Emerson going full out on something like this in an interview esp a duet with Edgar would be great ;D
Edgar and Johnny Winter were the soundtrack of my youth. If you don’t have it, get the double album Before the Storm which was Johnny and Edgar. Great stuff.
I had the privilege of seeing edger and johnny on the same stage at the pantages theater in tacoma Washington in 2012. Throw in rick derringer and kim Simmonds of savoy brown and wow what a show.
You know I’ve heard it said there’s beauty in distortion. By some people who are drawn to find it. Now they say there’s humor in misfortune. I wonder if they’ll laugh when I am dead. CHORUS Why am I fighting to live if I’m just living to fight? Why am I trying to see when there aint nothing in sight? Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try? Why am I Dying to live if I’m just living to die? Now some people say that failings are subjective, But they’re just picking words that someone else has said. And so they live and fight and kill without objective, sometimes it’s hard to tell the living from the dead. CHORUS Now I used to weave my words into confusion, And so I hope you’ll understand me when I’m through. See I used to live my life as an illusion, but reality will make my dream come true. So I’ll keep fighting to live till there’s no reason to fight. And I’ll keep trying to see until the end is in sight. You know I’m trying to give so come on give me a try. You know Im dying to live, until I’m ready till I’m ready till I’m ready heyyyy until I’m ready to die. DAMMMNNN EDGAR! Fkn beautiful
These Two Brother's are fantastic players. Saw Johnny also in the Late eighties or early nineties at the Warfield in San Francisco. Steve Morse opened. Another great show.
Paul Hardcastle Electronic Funk music producer spearheaded the music genre multi faceted. Radio Devotee and novice layperson musicilogists free up on jazz and American songbook as well as opera. Cheers Sir.
I don't believe the "Strap On Thing" went over Edgar's head, I just believe He is just a real Gentleman, with good character. Met Edgar at LAX about 14 years ago, and His assistant said, Hey Edgar look a couple of Fan's! So I chatted with Him for a while and He was very attentive and a genuinely polite and decent guy.
Floyd Radford was great with Johnny Winter as well! Johnny, Floyd Radford, Randy Jo Hobbs, and Richard Hughes were awesome!!! Superb musicians, all of them!
