I graduated high school in '73 and this was the music we had then! Great straight up rock and roll! As Bob Seger said "today's music ain't got the same soul" is an understatment! Rock on🎸
‘73 here too! Attended my first ever concert with The Edgar Winter Group in think in ‘74 at the Orange Show Pavillon in San Bernardino, CA. Jo Jo Gunn opened the show. My ears rang for a week!
Is that Rick? Or Ronnie Montrose? I know Rick played with Edgar in his White Trash Band, But Ronnie joined up in 72 and played on the album "They only come out at night", which contained Frankenstein. Derringer produced the album. Montrose left the band the next year. EDIT: I'm referring to the second track in the video, Frankenstein
@@atta1798Yes but now we have guys like Joe Bonamassa Joe Satriani Steve Via that took guitar playing to another level even past what Eddie Van Halen was doing & that's why they are known as progressive rock bands because the music is progressive and technically hard to play . Bands like Yes and Rush are progressive rock bands and the music they made was technically hard to play . RIP fish from yes the bass player & Neil Peart drummer from Rush you will never be forgotten!
4:48 was some of the hottest guitar playing i've EVER heard I'm sitting here keeping an eye on my 94 yr old mother who is almost a vegetable and she starts rocking out lol!!!!!
Grew up in a small southern town on the I40 from Texas to Memphis! At 15, Johnny and Edgar came into our local hamburger joint! One 17 year old boy and this little girl nearly fainted! We were the only 2 who knew who they were! We put a dime into the jukebox to play Frankenstein and immediately knelt in front of Edgar!
AMERICAN JOHNNY WINTER HAD IT ALL ANY TIME HE HIT THE STAGE IT WAS MAGIC ESPECIALLY HOW EVOKED THE OTHER AMAZING TALENT THEY LOVED PLAYING WITH HIM WHAT A BLESSING AMERICAN MUSICAL ROYALTY AND YES NO PEDALS
Johnny, Edgar and Rick Derringer! The ultimate rockers. I saw them all many times! Once when I worked at DFW AIRPORT, Edgar showed up for a flight to his hometown, Beaumont Tx. Nobody recognized him but me, so I told him that I was a lifelong fan!
Johnny's touring band at this time included second guitarist Floyd Radford, who had earlier played with Johnny's brother in Edgar Winter's White Trash. Edgar then recruited guitarist Ronnie Montrose to join his stripped down Edgar Winter Group: Their debut album featured "Frankenstein," which became an unlikely instrumental smash. By the time this performance was taped, however, Ronnie had left to form his own band, Montrose, and Rick Derringer had stepped in to replace him.
@@ronforeman2556correct. That's Floyd, in this video with Johnny. I saw Floyd at the 1970 Winter's End Festival with his band Marshmallow Steamshovel. In the middle of their set, Floyd stepped up to the microphone and said "We are changing our name to Tin House. Marshmallow Steamshovel is a stupid name. " I will never forget that.
Oh you said it! The rock bands of the 1970s were the greatest and there were so many more of them than you can shake a stick at! It's a wonder rock music wasn't a gross national product!
That's cause they were about 20 yrs before your time. I'm 69/70 and use to groove to my Second (2nd?) Winter album.. if my memory serves me correctly. This is the first time I heard Johnny do Jumpin Jack Flash, as I recall. Great stuff.
Johnny had one of the most recognizable voices in rock and Edgar had one of the most recognizable sax sound which made these brothers unique. Seen them both back in the days of Winterland and took my young son to see Edgar in a rare show in Modesto blew his mind. Long for the days of plane old good Rock!
Floyd Radford from Tin House on guitar, Richard Hughes on drums, Randy Jo Hobbs on bass. This is a smokin' version of Jumpin' Jack Flash! RIP Johnny, Richard, and Randy.
@@jrbchatham That place got some good bands...for cheap! I'm from Falmouth, 72 yrs old musician, livin' on central coast California last 27 years. Too bad "the Cape" has turned to crap. 🤷
Thank God for YT. I grew up in the 60's/70's. I saw some amazing talent, though neither Johnny nor Edgar. If you didn't catch anybody live, you may have gotten lucky and saw them on "Midnight Special" or "DK Rock Concert", otherwise it was LP's, 8track, or KSHE 95. What an era,
Got to see both Winter brothers and Greg Allman in '84. What icons. I miss hearing both of their singing voices. I have only memories of what a thrill it was to grow up in the 70's, experience the 80's,explore the 90's and expect the twilight of my years in the 2000's. It's a pity that kids today just don't know HOW great it used to be growing old.
The best 15 minutes of my life in 2024, were spent right here. This is so timeless, The Historic sounds of my youth. Legends all. Rick Derringer, lighting the Les Paul on Fire. Johnny besting the Stones with his version of JJF, Edgar the master of the synth and more. PURE GENIUS music from the best era 65-77 We lived the music as a way of life. WMMS 101FM Cleveland, is who showed me Rock artists back then.
Thanks for reading, and your comments. We Had a Student Lounge in HS. The Juke box played free to play. Fantatic having, a Candy Broker parent, who's children attended school, provided all our vending needs. These songs were everyday plays, for us Clevelanders. Rock On Was another one.@@flynnt1953
In the white shirt playing next to Edgar in the clip of "Frankenstein". Derringer can still wail even at 76 and still shows up and jams with Edgar on tour. Fun fact - Derringer also produced the album this song is on "They Only come out at Night". But its actually Ronnie Montrose that played lead when they recorded the album.@michaelblankenau6598
my best friend growing up could have passed for Johnny....havent seen him in twenty years. Why are our heros all in the past? And why must we grow up so fast?
Dude Johnny just crushed this. Truly!, but why you gotta try to put down other artists? ...gets tiresome.... and as far as Ms. Swift goes, that woman is CRAZY talented too
Apples and oranges,honey.Different genres, and styles.If you u go to a Taylor Swift concert and expect a performance like this you are more than a bit confused.😎
Johnny Winter has always and will always be my all time favourite guitarist, he’s the coolest, his slide playing is stunning ( Duanne Allmam saw Johnny at Filmore east fest and went back home and became obsessed with slide after seen him as Greg Allmam described on interview ) Johnny had the uniqueness, the amazing albino complexion that made him so unique , he was Hot Rod on the stage , his diamond back Rattlesnake hatband his Stetson hat man he was the coolest guitarist on earth , his voice and his persona is hard to match , Johnny Winter was on the cover of the very first edition of Guitar One magazine. Bless your soul Johnny and when I look up on the sky I look for you as you always been a truly star 💫 and on the sky is where you belong so there is where you are now Johnny . Australia 🇦🇺
Oh , take us back to some very special days why don’t cha! This is how great musical artists should go together- what amazing chemistry they had! Thanks so much for taking us to see real magical moments of the past! Love this a lot ❤️🎸👍🍄🧘🏼🙏
The Old Grey Whistle test. I wish we had it still So many brilliant sessions like thisgood old BBC. They couldn't do it now. Edgar and Johnny what energy
Always my favorite line up from his 70s rock period simply for the non stop energy and interplay between Johnny and Floyd. Captured Live on cassette played non stop summer of 76.
Will there ever be two albino brothers this great again? Will there ever be two albino genius musicians born in the same family again? A true rarity. A one off. This probably only happens once a century, if even that. God bless these beautiful human beings
I'd give my left arm to be able to play guitar like that. Johnny was the first man to turn me on to the blues, but what a rocker! His "Live And" album is a masterpiece.
I saw Edgar in San Antonio when this song just came out and yes, he can play it live. I've seen Johnny so many times I can't even remember. I could tell you exactly except the ex threw out my ticket collection. I should have known then things weren't going to end well between us. Oh well, GREAT GREAT GREAT musicians in both bands! Unbelievable.
I saw Edgar back years ago in Pensacola, FL. He plsyed Frankenstein and it was incredible. Jojnny was supposed to be there, but had to cancel. He had gotten sick.
That's the way Edgar recorded it. There was no studio version, and quite frankly, it would not have been so great. Postwork would have butchered it to death. No way to studio recording Frankenstein! Live was the only way to do it!
Tengo los 60's y he escuchado mucha música rock, pero en blues y blues rock tenía el mas gigantesco groove a la guitarra y a la garganta...el alcohol y las drogas lo devastaron, pero siempre se levantó: en su género fue el mas grande sin duda....escuchad entero CAPTURED LIVE. Descanse en paz.
Great musicians. I was living in England in 1974. And I usually watched The Old Grey Whistle Test, without a TV license. Saw Johnny at the New Victoria Theatre in London, and again at different venues in the Chicago area. One of my favorites.
Jumping Jack flash by the Stones was the first single I bought back in 1968 and thought nobody could do it better. How wrong I was, and now think that JWs version is by far the best. I first saw play this on UK TV in 1974, and to this day I think that the Stones should have played it like this. JW is often overlooked in people's lists of top guitarist's but to me he will always be one of the best.
I agree. He had the look and moved behind the kit like the textbook version of a rock drummer. The Edgar Winter Group was the first concert I saw as a 13 year old kid. I was mesmerized by Chuck. Myself being a drummer, I always wanted to look like him when I played
Both brothers were extremely talented in their time. Johnny and Edgar each had their own bands, and the talent in the members of those bands was undeniable, complimenting their own talent really well. It was rare to see the brother get together for a joint concert, but when they did, it was epic!
God created Johnny simple as that said…. Lead strings, vocals, Sax, drums, keys, and synthesizers. You name it he played it... Eternal peace in heaven my friend Johnny….
Wow, I love The Stones, and never heard this version with Johnny. But WOW! He really injected a American early 70's hard rock style to this that's so high octane and in your face. For this time period, that is some AWESOME soloing he was playing. This is one of those guys who just had it in him, and it's so pure and natural. LOL, I stopped typing at 4:30 to watch Johnny tearing that solo up! R.I.P. Johnny, THANK YOU for inspiring me on my guitar playing.
Oooh Yeah!... To be Honest I don't know much about Johnny Winter or his music. But I can still remember when I first heard Frankenstein on the Radio as a Youngster
Johnny was such a killer guitar player man. And a hell of a vocalist. Oh and he could probably play any instrument you threw at him too. Holy shit man.
These two brothers are total genius, and you cant appreciate them enough until you see them back to back like this. Ive seen them both live, Johnny many times, and neither ever fail to impress. I always wish they had teamed up, man what a jam that would have been!!!!! But their folks got it right to turn them on to music they way they did, Johnny will forever be my Guitar Hero, and Edgar is just a wonder. RIP Johnny and keep on rockin' Edgar!
They did team up on multiple occasions. You can hear JW guesting on EW's ROADWORK live album, and then the brothers recorded a live album together called...wait for it...TOGETHER. Both readily available on CD and both feature incredible musicianship and song selection. Highly recommended.
TY for posting this. Saw Edgar in Baltimore as an opening act for Ozzy Osborne. When Ozzy came on we left. The Eggar Winter group was one of the best back then in the 70's.
Thank you a zillion times for sharing this outrageous clip. Just love the pure energy and emotion. Those two songs I always admired, now i know where they originated and will love them so much more. Thank you.
Incredible, blistering, cool, unforgettable, mind blowing, etc... Thank you Johnny Winter, I'm lucky to have existed in the same time as you. Unfortunately I am too young to have seen you live, this is pretty awesome though!
+heffernanca Obviously, you've never heard of Jimi Hendrix, the master blues guitarist who took blues guitar to heights previously unrealized.Hendrix blows SRV AND JW away. That's why SRV covered Hendrix's songs. He knew who the master was.
+heffernanca To say Hendrix was a "blues-based rock guitar player" is damning by faint praise. Hendrix pioneered raw feedback expression that no one has ever equaled, wrote lyrics comparable to Dylan, Beatles or whoever else you want to name, wrote songs in almost any genre you want to classify: (pop-rock, R&B, Soul, Blues, Rock, psychedelia, pop, acid rock, acid blues, etc.) and was an AMAZING live performer. Anybody who was anybody in the '60s raved about him. His legacy continues to this day withhis songs being instantly recognizable on radio stations. It's not about "each to their own." It's about a being well-known for a reason: you say the name "Jimi Hendrix" and people know who you're talking about. Frank Marino? You get a blank stare. Compare both of their versions of Johnny B. Goode-- Marino's is a bunch of busy, overplayed notes, Jimi's is raw, ripping and BETTER than the original.
Boy this takes me back to Junior High School in my big brother in the garage with Ron jamming to Edgar Winter and in Led Zeppelin the days of garage bands🦅🕊🌻
My friends and I saw the Winter brothers at the New Haven Coliseum same time as this. What a gas. Edgar had his hands painted fluorescent and blacklighted. Too funny. We followed them outside after the show and watched them speed away in matching Porsches....
Saw Johnny in a small club at the height of his sensational mid-80's blues period. It was a small, unknown club in Davenport Iowa, but he and the boys played like they were at the Fillmore. Incredible powerhouse performance.
I saw them both in the early 1970's . This college playhouse was 1105 capacity . Johnny had 5 Twin Reverbs stacked . He turned everything on 10 ! The slide guitar was deadly ! Equally damaging was Edgar's sax ! Great show ! I have seen them many times . Including Johnny Winter And at The Fillmore East with Rick Derringer .
Hey guys, I know Jumping Jack Flash by heart, but Frankenstein? I only knew him from Boris Karloff and Hammer productions. Thank you so much for this magnificent musical surprise 🌼🌿💕🌸🦇
I saw a concert in Philly where Redbone and The Allman Brothers opened for Johnny when he was touring his Johnny Winter Live And album. Rick Derringer was in his band.
