EDGAR INVENTED THE KEYTAR! TRUE STORY!
Heh, he hung a full sized keyboard around his neck by a strap! =)
Like a Jimi Hendrix of mobile keyboards! 🎹
He did not, it came out in 1966
@betsyduane3461 Well, I saw Edgar in an on camera interview claim he was 1st one to strap it on like a guitar. Was he lying?
But Chang is the best Keytar player of our generation!
Fun fact: while playing this, Edgar also did some drywall spackling and served drinks at the commissary.
Such an amazing talent!
solid
😂
Wouldn't doubt it!
Slacker!
Edgar was proficient with almost any instrument.
still is. currently touring with Ringo Starr.
In the 70s they experimented with quadraphonic sound. I had a quadraphonic system in my car, back then 4 speakers front and back. Not a lot of albums or in this case 8 track tapes were in Quad, but one of them was Edger Winters, and this song killed it in Quad, the drum solo would go around the inside of the car speaker to speaker, wild indeed...
Me too The who- Quadraphenia!
I always hated the 8 track player would always shuffle this song from one track to the next right in the middle of this song.
The Winter Bros. we're 2 Albino Boys who grew up in sunny TEXAS and tended to stay inside during the day due to their sensitivity. While the other kids were outside playing sports, Edgar & Johnny stayed in the shade and mastered several musical instruments!
Touch'e mon Frere..................... when talent Rules!
And Fucking Rick Derringer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They Only Come Out at Night! Fabulous 1972 LP this was on. I bought it when it came out when I was 12 and still love it to this day!
I was also 12, didn't have the album but knew some who did. i had the 45
...and to this day I'm so glad they stayed in!!!
An all time live performance. Edgar rocked hard. Rick Derringer joins him here.
💙💙💙💙💙
In the late 60's and 70's we had the music. Nothing else can compare.
Really one of the earliest uses of synthesizer in a big mainstream radio hit. Everything he does on the keyboard is real time manipulation; it's not like he had pre-programmed tracks or patches back then. Just moving the knobs around and stuff, heh...For an instrument that represented the cutting edge of science in music, it's still a really organic performance...
I don’t like being old but love that this was the music of my youth!
Unlike most artists, you see Edgar mess with the synthesizer settings during the song. This was pretty soon after the synthesizer became available for public use. (A fourier synthesizer had long been a piece of physics equipment and for a long time only played with by physicists)
You mean physicists were rocking out long before us normal folk?
Wow, someone who seems to understand Fourier transforms and fast for a transforms which they use nowadays a whole lot in their triple air digital processing for live vocal effects and whatnot. It's such a great early point in all of this and I'm glad you made a reference to it.
Imagine being 15 years old in '73 and you hear this on the radio. My brain chemistry was forever altered...lol. 😮
Also i remember "Hocus Pocus" by Focus being on the radio around the same time. Another wild song.
I saw this Live on the BBC on the Old Grey Whistle Test as a 16 year old, blew my mind .
Good to see you two busting out laughing! Though Edgar tends to do that to most people. Him and his brother are absolute musical geniuses!
You can't even imagine what is was like when this started blasting out of the radio! All you heard in the car was, "Crank it up!"
Very true...I remember it well. That was exactly what we did. Cranked it up and rocked out with it.
Yea, the live version is cool. But the studio will blow you away even more...it's a classic!
Remember the first time I heard the vinyl on a friends huge home stereo. Allegedly there was green herbs involved.
The live version is crap , chalk and cheese from the studio version always bar the very rare exception avoid live versions .
It's actually a full sized remote keyboard for a Moog Synth. Edgar is an albino and so is his brother Johnny, The grew up in Texas and couldn't go outside to play in the hot TX sun, So they stayed inside and learned to play every instrument they could get their hands on. I suggest you check out "Tobacco Road" which features both Edgar and Johnny. This song "Frankenstien" is just a mish mash of little riffs and one-offs they had lying around. They put all these pieces together, hence the name. The little guy playing guitar is Rick Derringer who created his own band and is a star in his own right.
It is not full size . it is smaller then my 66 keyboard. Looks like 48 keys. My piano is of course 88 keys. I got to see all 3 of them in 74 with Rick opening the show.
@@oldmanghost219 it was around then I saw Edgar and White Trash in New York I think. They did this song. What a night.
It’s not a Moog. It’s an ARP 2600 which was a semi modular synthesizer with a removable keyboard.
We've done Tobacco Road!

This was live on BBC program called The Old Grey whistle test which at the time was the main place to see the "good bands " of the time. Edgar is playing an ARP 2600 synth and this was the first time anyone had played a keyboard in that manner
I believe they deserve to be called artists.
Edgar was absolutely beautiful!
This song is best when played with the volume ALL THE WAY UP,,,,💥💥💥👍😎
If Pauly Shore was a stud, he'd be YOU bruh‼️
😂
I've heard this song a million times, but never a live version. Amazing!
Great reaction! Fun fact: The second concert I ever saw was from this tour, with a little-known band called Bad Company opening for these guys!
I feel like the name fits this song so well, even without the background information (which I appreciate you acknowledging). This was a pretty big hit back in the day, despite it being an instrumental. Props to the director here for keeping the instrument changes a surprise. Definitely adds to the video for first time watchers.
I saw that tour in New Haven CT with Bad Co opening and Foghat 2nd, Edgar had Rick Derringer and it was an amazing show. All out great classic Rock!
@@vicprovost2561 I saw them in Vegas. No Foghat, unfortunately, but Rick Derringer was there.
I watched the original broadcast of this on the old grey whistle test on the BBC in England in 1973 as a teenager and was wowed then, it has stood the test of time and is still awesome today 50 years later.
You cannot believe how often this song played on local radio here in LA in the early 70’s
I saw edgar winter a couple months back and he did this song. He was touring with Ringo Starr, from the Beatles
This is the Rock Instrumental your parents warned you about.
The Winter Brothers were so ahead of their game. They also can be called a super group
For all four members… RIP Johnny.
At the time The Old Grey Whistle Test was about the only TV programme on the planet where you could experience stuff like this. Magic days.
I just saw Edgar Winters in West Virginia last month when he was part of Ringo Starr's All Star band and he played Frankenstein and it was amazing as were all the other artists too!
I got to see them in 74. Rick Derringer opened the show. Then Johnny Winter came on. Finally Edgar Winter came on. After that the lights came on which is when the concert is over and people started to leave including the group with us that came in a different car. They missed out because the lights went back out and all 3 of them got together to do a few songs. ... other songs ... "Free Ride"..."Alta Mira" ... "We All Had A Real Good Time"
The first 8 track I bought for my first car a 68 LeMans
I saw this live in concert at Haraa Arena in 1973! MIND WAS BLOWN!!!!!
Bravo! Bravo! I'm watching this again.
Hard to believe Edgar was 27 in this video & 50 yrs later wins a Grammy ✌💖☮
Right?!
Glad you two ran this awesome live performance by multi-instrumentalist prodigy Edgar Winter and his group from early 1970s. .....insanely talented! Although not really featured the guitarist is equally awesome. ...Ronnie Montrose. He went on to lead his own band later in the decade. ...you have to react to three of their songs....Rock 'n Roll Hoochie Koo. ...Bad Motor Scooter. ...Rock Candy. ......you won't be disappointed. ...take it from this rocking 59 year old dude. ..was a teenager back in the 1970s....hands down best of all time music creativity, instrumental gods era ever. ...period. ..mic drop!
hahaha.. I stopped a Rick Derringer concert at the Keystone in Palo Alto back in the day of my youth. About a year earlier I saw Johnny Winter . He told the audience , " if you ever see Rick , tell him he still owes me money ! " Derringer was just about to play Cheap Tequila when I yelled " you still owe Johnny Winter money ! ". He screamed at me , " I paid him back years ago ! Did he tell you to say that ? ". " Yes he did"...Rick replied .. " that SOB ! " everyone laughed . Good memories.
Music from the 60s and the 70s was awesome!! Edgar Winter & Johnny Winter, rock legends!! Edgar Winter keys and sax, Rick Derringer guitar, Dan Hartman, bass guitar & Chuck Ruff, drums!!
Just the change ups could drive you crazy.what a great time to grow up.
Edgar Winters did everything - I heard he was selling popcorn at intermission 😉. ITS ALIVE !!
Yes, Edgar is the one who invented that contraption. He was a trained classical pianist for many years and when he started performing he got tired of standing in one place at the keyboard/organ and thought it would be cool to be able to walk around and play while performing on stage.. So, he strapped up a keyboard as you see, put it around his neck, and the rest is history! Btw, that's Rick Derringer on guitar with "I Can Dream About You" Dan Hartman on bass doin the awesome licks and bassline.. This song went to #1 on the charts and not a word was spoken during the whole song.. Incredimazing! 🙂
I was a young kid when this song first came out and the moment I heard it I immediately wanted to learn how to play the drums. Shortly thereafter I did.
Enjoyed very much, remember this song on the radio back in the 70s . Loved it then and love it now ☮️☮️
70's was a great decade for music
He was touring this year with Ringo Starr's All Star Band and Frankenstein was a highlight of the show. It was amazing.
Dan Hartman on Bass had his own solo career, RIP.
Hey, Sam and Phil, interesting fact for you about this song:
The origin of the title "Frankenstein" is a reference to the amount of cuts and splices the the band had done to this song during the editing process and that they'd felt like they were assembling Frankenstein's monster
I saw him in concert at Penn State in 72. What a memory.
Keith Emerson of ELP had the 1st 1968 Moog synthesizer that could travel with the band. It had the old school tech of tubes and wires that made it look like an old time phone switch board. You can see it in ..." Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Knife-Edge - 2nd version (1970)" ... this was prior to Edgar getting his keyboard.
I never followed this group, but I remember this song. I enjoyed it.
Winter brothers were badass musicians. They can play any instruments.
Saw them at Maple Leaf Gardens in 1973 , ELO was the opening act, Drummer Chuck Ruff walked in saw the pieces of tape everywhere and said looks like Frankenstein, great reaction
Rick Derringer on guitar...(rock n roll hootchie koo) of Dayton OH joins the band onstage.
I believe Edgar recently received an award for an album called My Brother Johnny. A tribute to Johnny Winter
Here is some more trivia: 1. Due to Edgar's and Johnny Winter's albino condition, they spent the majority of the youth indoors out of the sun becoming proficient with many musical instruments. 2. Edgar's affinity for technology can be seen in the wrist watch worn in this video, which is the FIRST LCD watch invented by the Hamilton Watch Company. It was $150.00 more than the most expensive Rolex at the time. 3. Edgar played the Sax solo on of Tina Turners Grammy award winning songs. 4. Rick Derringer, the guitarist went on to a very successful solo career and played lead guitar for Ringo Starr's All Star Band. 5. Dan Hartman, the bassist, was a very prolific music composer and co-wrote and produced James Brown's song "Living in America", made famous in the Rocky IV movie. 6. Chris Ruff, the drummer, is on Rolling Stones list of the 100 best drummers.
4. Rick Derringer also produced some of Edgar and Johnny's records along with the first 6 Weird Al albums.
5. Weird Al did a parody of Living in America called Living with a Hernia.
lol at first glance I read that as “Weird Artificial Intelligence” 😂….we are doomed.
@@midnightrambler7716 Ha. I've been noticing fans have been spelling his name " Weird AL" to avoid that.
Dan Hartman sang a great (and very sad) song called Autumn on the same album They Only Come Out at Night. He also had a disco hit called “Instant Replay” and another fairly large hit “I Can Dream About You”. He got HIV in the 80’s but never sought treatment. Died from a brain tumor in 1994. The drummer’s name was actually Charles (he went by Chuck) Ruff. Died in 2011 after lengthy illness.
Kid's these days... I used to bounce around and air drum to this tune almost daily.
One of the best rock instrumentals of all time. Thanks for the review.
Saw the Edgar Winter Group (my first concert at age 14) in Houston in 1973.
In about 1975, I saw the Winter brothers in concert together, which was amazing, of course. The opening act was some little Southern band, Lynyrd Skynrd, flogging their new single Sweet Home Alabama.
Yeah, a reasonably cool night.
My brother would play this so loud in the 70s. When mom and dad were not home, of course.
In 1973 I attended my first rock concert in Ottawa Ontario at the age of 15. The warm-up bands were April Wine and The J.Geils Band. The Edgar Winter Group was on tour recording their Roadwork album (highly recommended). Talk about baptism by fire!
Just saw him last month as part of Ringo Starr's All Star Band outdoors at Harvey's in Lake Tahoe. Edger said he invented the Keytar to see the audience while moving around and playing on stage. He did to Frankenstein during the concert. Still going strong.
I was lucky enough to see them play it live in 1973. And yes our minds were blown. This band has a rich legacy as the bassist Dan Hartman went to score a solo hit (I Can Dream About You); guitarist Rick Derringer, formerly of the Mc Coys (Hang On Sloopy) has a hit (Rock & Roll Hoochie Coo) & replacement guitarist Ronnie Montrose, later formed the successful hard rock band "Montrose" which was fronted by Sammy Hagar, who later joined Van Halen.
Edgar and Johnny Winter are both albino, and they could both play any and every instrument !! That's all they did all their lives , play music , Johnny mainly stuck to the guitar , while Edgar would play everything else ! I got to see Johnny 3 times live , and the last time was 2 weeks before he passed away at 70 , and yes , his fingers could still move and he jammed that night !! If you want another one by Johnny Winter check out Mississippi Blues from Rockpalast , you will like it !
Phil and Sam
Edgar and his late brother, Johnny Winter were born with Albinism in their hometown of Beaumont, Texas. Because of their skin condition, Winter Brothers stayed inside. Edgar and Johnny mastered a lot of instruments while indoors growing up. There is another video of Winter Brothers playing together live on a cover of song called Tobacco Road.
I think he won an award for Blues Music?
I enjoy watching them but the sound is much better with the studio cut. Thanks for this one! Happy Halloween 🎃👻🎃
Hope it was a good one!
All star band with the excellent Rick (Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo) Derringer on guitar and Dan (I Can Dream About You) Hartman on bass. The studio version is very good you should give it a listen
I saw Edgar Winter do this song less then a month ago. He is touring with Ringo's All Star Band and he is still great and when singing is still fine.
A lot of keyboardists used "portable" keyboards in the mid 80s that were designed to be strapped on like a guitar. They called them "keytars". Edgar did it 10 years earlier with a full sized, heavy, console style synth.
Mind blown
You must check out Edgar Winter performing with his brother, Johnny the song “Tobacco Road” if y’all like blues, you’re gonna love this!
Btw Edgar Winter and his brother Johnny Winter are albinos. Johnny is a master at guitar. I believe they both can play multiple instruments. I know Edgar can play a bunch of different instruments.
Got a kick out of watching the expressions on your faces. Glad you enjoyed it. It's been a favorite of mine for ages!!!
I remember at one point in high school , around 73 or 74 , this and LZ's Whole lota Love were played constantly on the lunch room juke box. Good times !
Saw them do this live at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto back in the day. Went on for quite a while, especially with the sound effects. They opened for Ten Years After. Was really knocked out by Edgar's sax playing.
On top of it all....this was LIVE!
I was in high school when this came out. Both edger and his brother were accomplished musicians. watch how many different instruments Edger plays in this song.
Edgar wrote this to show his fan's that he could play every instrument
Good Job. Was a huge hit back in the 70s. Still great to this day!
off the charts talented!!!
It was said that he once went into a music store and told the man he wanted one of everything, then went home and mastered each one of them. Great reaction as usual guys.
I saw him play at a bar in NC. Was high as a kite. Love Edgar.
Believe me, I lost it when I heard this back when it was released. Yeah, I'm that old.
First time seeing this and that was insane. Love the look on Sam's face.
You'll find that most musicians can play more than one instrument.
I've been predominantly a prog-rock drummer for over 45 years, but I can play 6 different instruments.
Came in handy when I got tired of band personality clashes and politics and went alone.
No need for other musicians.
Emerson Lake and Palmer and Yes used a lot of synths.
In the 80s there was a trend of synths that were made with a neck with control buttons on specifically designed to be carried on a guitar strap, mainly Roland and Korg synths.
✌️❤️🇬🇧
Rick Derringer on Lead. killing it! I heard this when I was 16. On AM radio!!!
I got to see Edgar Winter in concert It was an amazing show. Yes, they did play Frankenstein.
Back in the seventies Edgar and his brother we're on a whole new level of musicianship even though his brother is not a part of this
With headphones, this was one of the old 70s song (studio version) that went "through" your head. Trippy, especially when "enhanced mood."
Great video and I'm so glad you reviewed this performance. Edgar Winter and his blues guitarist brother Johnny are legends. This was a tour-de-force of Edgar's genius not only as a multi-instrumentalist but as a songwriter and innovator. Well done.
Saw him live in Champaign, IL. back in 1987. So good!
It truly was mind-blowing when I saw them
the guitar player in the white is Rick Deringer , (Rock n Roll Hoche Coo". Saw him live in a tiny 200 seat bar, front and center sitting on a stack on bar stools, beer in each hand.
Just tossed a five spit over to help the cause. ...keep on Rocking!
You have to remember this was 1973 the man was a genius
Another good Halloween song is "Godzilla" from Blue Oyster Cult. Classic! Happy Halloween.
Don’t Fear The Reaper is a good Halloween song
Guitar player in this video is Rick Derringer. Edgar had both Rick AND Ronnie Montrose in his band
1973, the year I graduated high school. .. Edgar Winter used the massive ARP 2600 keyboard controller around his neck to solo on "Frankenstein" in a 1973 performance on the The Old Grey Whistle Test, the video you reacted to.
I Was A Teenager In 73 When This Came Out . I Was High Alot, Too. My Friend's And I Thought It Was Cool As Hell In Quadraphonic.
This song is still the biggest selling instrumental rock song of all time and the only instrumental rock song to hit # 1 on the charts. I was a teen when it came out and everyone was talking about it at the time.
Saw Edgar , Johnny Winter , and Greg Allman at a small club in Dallas way back when . Incredible show except that the AC was broken in Texas summer and only 2 bathrooms for a few 100 people . We sacrificed for the Rock that night almost literally .
Fantastic song... by the way, that is Rick Derringer on guitar. Rock n roll, hootchie coo (sp)!!!!
The synth is an ARP 2600. Still popular today. I got one myself.
Edgar had a brother named Johnny. They both are Albino's. It effected their vision. They were awesome together. But Edgar is the man. Only one I know of that Edgar received a Grammy for brother Johnny for Best Contemporary Blues Album.
