If you like this you MUST watch Edgar and his brother Johnny do the song Tobbaco Road. Trust me, you won’t regret it. This song Frankenstein is an instrumental but in Tobacco Road, Edgar sings and that is the part that’ll open your eyes.

Imagine how crazy this seemed when it came out...50 years ago.

This man invented the keyboard strap, which eventually inspired the keytar. Man is a legend! Changed the Keyboardist game.

Edgar Winter won a Grammy this year…dude is a rare talent

Edgar and Johnny are the two of the hottest 'Albino" musicians to ever grace the stage...This one is classic guys...Thanks

This music blew my mind mind in 1972. It was only recently that I saw this live video and realized that Edgar was playing more instruments than just the keyboards and analog synthesizer. Mind doubly blown. That’s Rick Derringer on guitar. He had a solo career after this. Check out ROCK AND ROLL HOOCHIKOO.

The so often neglected concept, is that the drummer is totally playing off of whatever Edgar is going, and in a split second is able to to create a harmony between them, no matter how off the rails Edgar went. To watch an entire concert of Charles Ruff, create and carry the band was glorious. He never got the recognition he deserved which was a shame RIP Charles.

The Frankenstein monster was made up of many parts just like this song. A true classic.

Footnote: Edgar and Johnny Winter were both legally blind due to being born with albinism. Incredibly talent and a drive for experimentation. So glad you enjoyed the video.

Rick Derringer is the guitar player, he went on & had the hit “rock n roll hoochie koo”. Great riff like this one.

Had that Frankenstein Album when it was released in the early 70s. Off the chain! Edgar and his brother Johnny are legends in the music world... RIP Johnny Winter!💯💯✌️👍

I always loved this song when it came on the radio. The fact that he's doing this live is crazy!

You guys HAVE to do "Tobacco Road" next! That song will blow your head off! [You get to hear Edgar sing, and he's got so much soul...]

The studio version of this song is also fire!

Dude I am so glad you guys checked out the Winter brothers. Those dudes are the epitome of "your favorite artists favorite artist", so many important bands and musicians have said throughout their careers that it was the Winter Brothers who influenced their sound and motivated them to start their bands

The guitar player in white is Rick Derringer who had an early hit "Hang on Sloopy" and later followed up with "Rock and Roll Hootchie Coo" He is a monster on guitar and is on many other peoples tracks over the years. He can play! The bass player is Dan Hartman who also had a couple hits "I can dream about you." The caliber of players who back Edgar says much about his vast talent. He is still touring with Ringo Starr's All Star Band and still playing like this. Amazing.

A MONSTER of a song!!!!🎸🎸🎺🎻🎷🎷🎷🎵🎶🎵🎶

This was a huge hit in the 70's, you should also listen to the studio version, good selection.

Great reaction guys 🤘🏻 Thanks for giving the drummer props!!! Drummers are grossly under appreciated.....

Love this song, and the fact y’all are diving in deep to different time periods and genres is awesome. Edgar Winter was a bad man! I don’t know if you’ve already listened to them but next, it would be great if you listened to some Wet Willie, a fabulous southern rock band we all frequently saw. They were signed to our hometown label, Capricorn Records, along with the Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker, and so many more. Macon, GA was a hotbed of music and we were blessed to see it all live. Jimmy Hall is the incredible lead singer. Grits Ain’t Groceries, Everything That You Do, Keep On Smiling are just a few of their great gifts to the world. If you want an amazing Allman Brothers song, do Whipping Post Live At Fillmore East. Epic! Thanks so much for all the enjoyment and interesting discussions.

Thanks for sharing guys, I just saw Edgar play Frankenstein last year with Ringo Starr and his All Star band still rocking it at 75! Love your videos and all the different topics. 🎉

The guitarist is Rick Derringer. He's a MONSTER player. Played with Edgar's brother Johnny. Y'all gotsta check out MASTER BLUES ROCK guitarist Johnny Winter.

50+ year old song, first time seeing that live version, thanks for sharing guys....love seeing you guys enjoy what I have for all these long years, keep it up!

Greetings from New Mexico, we are big fans of your channel. Stay blessed and continue to be great. Next reaction has to be Tobacco Road. You will be blown away.

This song is epic!!! Please play Blue on Black by Kenny Wayne Sheppard!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Its my 2nd fav song 🥰

It's nice to see young folks finding pre-autotuned music and liking it.🤩

The title "Frankenstein" refers to the fact that they had to do massive editing and splicing (parts spliced together like Frankenstein) to get something short enough for the final album version. Also, this was a pioneering song in that it was the first major hit to feature the synthesizer. Synthesizers were only a couple years old at the time. There were a few synthesizer tunes prior to this, but this was the first one done by someone who was first and foremost a musician, rather than an electronics nerd.

Saw Eggar Winter play this past year on Ringo Starr's tour. Edgar can still play that like he did 50 years ago. Loved when this played in clubs back in the day!

Thank-you dudes! I waited a month for you to check this out. I had recommended it after seeing your reaction to Focus’ “Hocus Pocus”. So, if I’m 1 for 1, how about you check out Grand Funk Railroad’s “Inside Looking Out” live from 1969. Another 3 piece band that will amaze you

This was on heavy rotation with the radio stations when it came out. An instrumental. Rarely happens. I have the 45 😊

You gotta do "Free Ride" It's a 70's classic!

Standing in an outdoor stadium, watching this song being performed live, was a highlight for me in 1973. That energy displayed in front of thousands , was truly electrifying and extremely contagious. Everyone in the crowd knew the song from the radio or the actual album and the band did not disappoint. One of my favorite concerts that year.

Musical Phenom. Can't fake that kind of talent.

So glad to see you enjoy these wonderful musicians. The young guitarist in white is none other than Rick Derringer, maybe best known for his hit single "Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo".

Edgar Winter is a legend! Thanks guys!

I don’t know why, but I started crying watching you fellas discover, Edgar Winter. You all were movin to that music because you knew, no you felt the pure talent go through you like electricity. So watching you watch that band made me feel it with you. Just like the first time I heard it with my friends back in the 70s. I’m 65 now but while that song was playing I felt like a teenager again, rocking it with my friends, so thanks for that. Love you my brothers. Matt.

I saw Edgar about 1980, and when he started Frankenstein, within the first 16 bars or so, he blew up the synth, and thank god pro musicians carry back up sh*t because he put on an awesome show for the hour wait we had to endure. These were the days that the synthesizer had to be programmed before you could use it. The Winter Family is as Badass as Badass can be when it comes to music. Edgar's brother Johnny died on the road in Switzerland 2 days after his last performance at the Cahors Blues Fest in France. These brothers are as musician as musician can get. I can only wish and pray that I could entertain people to the extent they have. You want to talk about 'white' boys, they are albino. If you notice on the video, even Edgar's hair is white. When they play outdoors they have to be totally blocked from the sun. They are about the few white guys that can seriously play blues. Johnny actually produced Muddy Waters before he passed away. I fully encourage you guys to do a deep dive into not only Edgar but Johnny Winter.

Edgar Winter is the blond on the keyboards, sacks, drums. HIs brother is also a musician - Johnny Winters. Rick Derringer is the guitarist wearing the white. You should listen to his song" Rock and Roll, Hootchie Koo"

I think is pretty cool sometimes to watch these kids discover the music we used to listen to 51 years ago.

Beaumont, Tx represent. My first concert in 1973 at 14 years old in Houston

This is a great one. Lots and lots of talent. Still would like you to see Deep Purple's Child in Time Live 1970. Each one of the band went on to be listed as 'one of the greatest' in whatever instrument they were playing.

It's really cool that y'all read up on your subjects before you hear and see them.

One of the GREATEST instrumental songs in the HISTORY of rock and roll

I went to see them in concert with my dad and all my brothers. John Kay and Steppenwolf were there as well. Great music and great times. Thanks for your reactions while watching. It was fun watching.

I seen Edgar in my 20's!! he was a classic then!! What a great time!!!

Saw Edgar Winter in our little town when his band opened for Johnny Winter. Blew the roof off the place! Thanks for the reaction!

I had so much fun watching you guys jam on this tune. You guys are real and it is fun watching you!

Super talented brothers Edgar and Johnny Winter! Tobacco Road is a must...

This is a special flavor of music, not for everyone. I can only hope you've enjoyed it.

They are amazed at real music. Real musicians playing real instruments. No auto tune crapola.

You guys listening to old school rock & roll. Brings me back to my old Army days jamming with my brothers in the field. 👍👍👍

GREAT musicians come in EVERY COLOR of the rainbow!

Big intros, big endings!!! Love it!!😍😍😍😍😍😍

Glad to see you all watched this one ! Thumbs up !

So much fun watching you young guys enjoy the music I grew up with. I know you guys like some down home blues so check out Edgar's brother Johnny. You will not be disappointed

This took me all the way back to my senior year in high school... 1973!!!! Thanks!!

Love to see you guys react to Santana. Good vid is their Soul Sacrifice song live at Woodstock 1969.

Finally one of my picks‼️ NEXT….”Free Ride by Edgar Winters Band….Thanks guys❤

I remember listening to this song on my car radio back in the day on WLS had a rag top and the speaker in the back had reverb. Ah yes some good times and good music.

I love watching you discover and enjoy the old music from my teen years. I may have to expand my own musical horizons.

Cudos to whoever suggested this one.

True commentary on the late great Jimi Hendrix. He was asked how he felt about being touted as the greatest Rock and Roll guitarist ever? Jimi's response was , I don't know, maybe you should ask Edger Winter that question? The Winter brothers both Edgar and his brother grew up with parents who were very musical, they both were experts on several instruments.

These 2 brothers were both on a different level. Who even knows how many instruments both could play!!

Great thanks for this guys! As a kid of the 70s I heard this blowing up the FM stations. It was fun watching you all dig it too👍😎

His brother Johnny Winter is an amazing blues guitarist

Hey guys I think you would totally dig 'Tobacco Road' with Edgar and Johnny Winter! another gem!

Edgar and Johnny were unbelievable musicians. They could play any instrument.

all five of you brothers have my heart in your hands God Bless your lovely family may God hold you tightly in his arms and shine his love down on you may you have nothing but love, peace, , happiness, joy , kindness, health, compassion, comfort prosperity , and a loving heart wrapped around your soul and heart love each other you only get one lifetime together

Hey guys been a supporter and love your guys videos they always make me feel better when I’m feeling down as I go through a lot and for making me feel a lot more uprising going to the gym working out all you guys fr and I’m from Australia down here we have a rapper named wombat the song is called runaway you guys should enjoy our style hopefully ❤

The 70s. Psychedelic rock. This band tops the list!!! Lots of hallucinogens in the time. Wild stuff. By the way, not a wig, both he and his brother were born with albinism. Lack of color pigmentation.

Watching the reactions of those guys when seeing Edgar Winter for the first time was a hoot. Great video.

One of my favorite songs, and of Johnny Winters is his cover of Highway 61 revisited from the Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary Concert

This is the live version, the studio version is even tighter... Both clearly awesome.

Also, keep in mind that the Moog Synthesizer was cutting-edge technology back then! The Techno-Music genre had not yet been born!

The first time I heard this was at the county fair. I was in Jr. High. I am so blessed to grow up with this music, I am so happy that you young men are appreciating it!

Caught both live at the Agora in Cleveland, Ohio... front row 👆✌️🤟😎💥 Two of the best, Baddest, fon-kay est😮 bro das that ever played a note... Johnny did blues on guitar since the '60 Gen...big bro knew!!

Time to hit up Iron Butterfly - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida if you're checking out Edger. This has always been one of my favorite instrumentals. Thrash Metal legends Overkill did a masterful cover back in the day. But back to my original statement: IRON BUTTERFLY - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida! Please check it out.

BY THE WAY, the Bassist is Dan Hartman, and he went on to write and sing one of THE BEST DISCO ANTHEMS, featuring the amazing Loleatta Holloway; "RELIGHT MY FIRE VERTIGO MIX"; Please react to it; we disco diehards rarely ever get our music reacted to, and believe me, you guys are missing out! 🔥🔥🔥

I appreciate this song so much more as I've gotten older. Love that rockin' bassline.

Love watching you guys crack me up Edgar rocks and so do you guys.

Listening to this now, all these years later, I'm wondering how much Edgar was influenced by Frank Zappa.

It's a phenomenal song. Edgar pieced it together from multiple pieces of work in progress songs. They absolutely k illed it. Music gets many of musicians high - never assume passion for music means that people are on drugs or drugged out. I play seven instruments and I don't do drugs. The music takes hold of you. Edgar is an a lbino human - he has super light s kin and super blonde hair. I think there's something about his eyes too. He's an incredibly talented musician and his whole band were top notch. You can see why his band is named after him - LOL. Nice reaction

The bassist Dan Hartman wrote "Living In America" for James Brown, he also has a jam out there "I Can Dream About You". The guitarist is Rick Derringer who has a big hit "Rock And Roll Hoochie Koo" he was also in the group the McCoys with a few old hits. Saw this live circa 1974...

And this was on the radio all the time. How cool is that!?! Radio playing just about anything back to back. You would here a pop Motown RnB single, The Eagles, Stevie Wonder, then something like this. Very great time for music. Lots of genres being mixed together as well.

You made my day!!! That is talent!!!

I’ve always loved this song. Just the music alone is an acid trip. But watching you guys watch the video was a ride. You guys deserve every follower you have. That was a fun video. Please make more. 😂

And that's what kept me glued to the TV Friday night!

Omg…I am SOOOO OLD! This was my first album as a child, 13, I Loved Edgar Winter!!❤❤❤. It was just a new sound for us❤

I was younger than you all by far when Edgar and Johnny were exploring the power of Electronic. Glad you have taken the time to checkem out. That Guitar player did great in His own right. Look him up.

Edgar Winter, Warner Theater, Washington DC 1980. Da Bomb!

INSANE! So much talent

Never let it be forgotten that Edgar's brother, Johnny, was a great bluesman who did s lot of excellent songs with the great Muddy Waters.

This music was part of my teenage years. Love watching you guys.

LMAO at all the gas faces!!! I'm an old-head whose been listening to this song since the 70s. It was a lot of fun to watch y'all's reactions.

Seen him live, was on the guard rail in the first row. Jones Beach, NY. Was so happy I got to see him. The sound in their mix I think was the clearest of the night. Solid band. 👍👍

Greetings from Oregon. Phido my 24 year old cat and I love you guys. Great reaction. All our best to you and your family

One of the first songs produced in the now unknown Quadraphonic(surround) sound format.

The 70's was an awesome time for musical experimentation .

“They rocked out for real” lol......love you guys!

Believe it or not, that song is still played on the radio today! Very often...
