After all these years... I still have all the lyrics memorized!
Jason Caslin I’ll bet you do ! Lol..... had this album on 8 track back in the glorious 70’s
Hey now !! ......did you come up with that all by yourself !!💯👍😂😂😂😂😂
Pretty sure the lyrics are the same as Green Onions and the theme from Beverly Hills Cop but I can't tell
Lmao
Good one Jason
One of the funkiest, most underrated, rock jams from the early 70’s!
I know, I love the lyrics too.
Kim Mitchell, Go For a Soda is a good 70s jam too.
Although it did get to #1
Wild Frankenstein man! Be thankful for this fact!
BS my dad says they played it so much that everyone yelled to change the channel and find something else lol
Love it tho
Yes, this track always was, and still is, an absolute "monster."
hell yeah man
Yup ! 😁
I heard this in Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2!
Simply a mind blower back then. Good days. I miss them.
A monster of a classic song
I,m 67 years old now and when this song came out back in the early 70s and I was only 16 years old and still today I love this song.
I had a kitty cat named Edgar. He was pure white with a black streak in the middle of his forehead. He was beautiful and badass. He passed away prematurely but he made my heart happy. RIP Edgar Winter
I think Edgar is still alive.
It was Jonny who passed away.
BY NOW YOU PROBABLY KNOW THAT YOU GOT THE WINTERS BROS. MIXED UP. R.Í.P. JOHNNY🎸❤😢
I was actually in love with Sam Gerdy
RIP Edgar. The loss of a pet is traumatic. Pet are proof there is God. There's no way colliding subatomic particles in space can create the love a pet gives to it's human. May God comfort and bless you during your grieving. ✝
Triggered LOL@dxm375
Saw Edgar Winter do this song last night with Ringo Starr and his All Star Band. Edgar played synth, sax, and percussion. He is still awesome!
Lucky 😊
It HAD to be slower eh?
Ennit
That sounds awesome!
Nope @@jmpsthrufyre
Saw him warm up for Alice Cooper and Deep Purple. Was really good
I got to see Johnny and Edgar Winters, preform this live in 1976. I had just turned 16, and had only been to one other concert. These guys were playing at a music Festival in my hometown of Birmingham Alabama. Along with, Jethro Tull, Allman Brothers Band, KISS, Lynyrd Skynyrd,CCR, were all playing this Festival. I was flabbergasted by all the talent. But Johnny and Edgar Winters, are the ones I remember most. They were Amazing!
Wow! That was an amazing lineup!!!
What was the name of the festival? Was it 2 days? It almost sounds like a mini Woodstock with all those incredible bands. What a memory.🎸✌️😊
Its CRAZY HOW
WHEN YOUNG WE NEVER REALIZE OR KNOW
WHAT AWESOME TIMES WE ARE LIVIING IN.
I HAVE SO MANY YOUNGER PEOPLE TODAY TELL
ME THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING TO HAVE GROWN UP IN 70'S AND
80'S.
Rick Derringer also...........
I'm a Birmingham native myself (unfortunately a 90s baby) it really sux that we no longer get these kind of lineups anymore they even took out amazing crawfish bowl away😢😢 the city just isn't the same
This was THE HARDEST song to learn on tenor sax in highschool marching band. But once I got it down, I was JAMMING. We won the state band championship with this song, 25 or 6 to 4, and another I don't remember. This song was our last one and we ended it by playing the end note and then stepping back, looking at the judges, playing it a little louder, then snapping our instruments away from our face and walking off the field. One of the members of the drum line knew we nailed it cuz afterwards you could see her in the video celebrating as we walked off the field lol.
Man I miss that. Class of '06! Good times!
I hope your parents still have the tape if they recorded it
My hs choir teacher let me do a duet of Alice Cooper's Millie & Billie with the most popular girl in school at a recital. At the end we abruptly stabbed each other in the back and he kicked an amp so it made that explodey sound they make. Scared the living shit out of the parents.
Well shit...now i gotta go listen to some Chicago....
Any school years were the best.. at nearing 70, I remember most of those days like last week.. miss it all . so support any high schoolers you can, alumni..
You can't remember if it were 25 or if it were 6 to 4, and you can't remember another song as well. What can you remember?
Edgar Winter Group was absolutely stacked with talent. Ronnie Montrose, Dan Hartman, Chuck Ruff, Rick Derringer. Edgar too of course.
Ohh really?
1 of the greatest instrumentals of all time.
Very adventurous for a classic rock song.
Also Pearl Instrumental by Janis Joplin. Nobody knows about it, but it’s seriously one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard
@@natelengi8475 It's not unheard of, but To Live Is To Die by Metallica is a great relatively lesser known instrumental. All of Metallica's instrumentals are masterpieces.
@@demosthones4425 so are Black Sabbaths ones
I submit YYZ by Rush as another classic rock instrumental.
This is, without a doubt, the greatest hard rock instrumental of all time. I've been listening to it regularly for 50 years, and it never gets old.
The only #1 hit rock instrumental to hit the #1 spot in Rock history.
All the others were from movies.
Win a free beer on that one mate!
Cheers.
@@user-mc9po7pp8x Hellyeah! I didn't know that. Thanks for the tidbit of interesting information.👍
They don't make them like this anymore
😢
It got old in as much time as it took me to type this sentence.
You mean to tell me that this is from the 1970's???
This group was definitely ahead of their times. I remember when it hit the radio. They said either you love it or you hate it, there is no in between. I’m 73 years young by the way.
I don't understand the people who would hate this song.
I'm 38 years young and it was a staple growing up for me as well! Who can dislike this song?!?
Eh... it's pretty good. I like it.
And you most definitely know your music!!!!....F'Love this jam forever...!!!
Love it!
Without a doubt the best song to test speakers and stereo equipment this song will definitely put the nuts to your woofers
Try this in 2.0 speed and it'll really freak you out...@ARCTURUS
For sure -but- Jackie Gleason 's MUSIC FOR LOVERS blew out my tweeters.
Used it to test a pair of Large Advent speakers in June 1973.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Test my new headphones with this song
I’m 67 now and marveled over this song. We are all old but remember when music were cool
It rocked then, and it still, rocks now.
This song was badass when I was 14 and now at 64 it’s much more than I ever thought or knew ! …..it’s one badass production taking you to the outer limits of the universe! 🔥☄️💥
i,m 38 and I'm here for it.
Mikel Stevens.
Fa un any en tenía 64...Estic amb tú...T'entenc germà.
Es genial tornar a sentir aquest tema.
@@lizardKingCDXX yeah some of us had cool parents :D
Or just, yknow, watched the simpsons.
This jam is as funky today as it was when it was first released, and you know you’re bad as hell when you have a radio station that plays a totally different genre playing it.
Christ, why have I only just come across Edgar Winter? I've been listening to Rock for 40 years...
Thanks to Johnnie Walker's Sound of the 70s for unleashing this amazing song on my ears!
This is an incredible piece of music, a true classic...
Right? This song is incredible.
Did Keith Emerson have any connection to any of this?
If the quarantine ends around Halloween, I'm playing this song like there's no tomorrow.
Bahnahnahneww Bahnahnahneww!!!
@Alcoon Slambag the quarantine?
I had this 45 ....when it came out , im now 59 , and it still kicks ass.👍
george rhody Class of 75?
Class of 78 here.
22 here, this is one of the most insane songs i ever heard.
Plz guys I am 15
I was 4 foot 5 when this came out, now I'm 5 foot nine. , oh yeah it does still kick ass!
Me too!! Especially when he says, "_____"!! Yeah, that part really hits!
its like someone somehow managed to condense the 70´s on one single song.
Thank you...;-)
You would have had to be alive in the 1970s to say that.
@@chazwyman8951 p
Not to mention afew different genres. Rock, Funk, and, Jazz. Incredibly innovative arrangement!
That someone is Edgar dude.
One of the greatest rock instrumentals ever written.
I can't come up with any others that even come close (but I would love suggestions)!
I am 61 year of age and was one a former Cuban underground law-breakers that risked falling in jail for listening to American radio broadcasts in Cuba in the 70´s.
Frankenstein was played by us with our mouths. Really amazing. All the effects without seeing performers!
Greetings a lot from Havana, Cuba
Wilfredo WOW!!
That’s awesome. I’m sure the Winters brothers adore these types of testimonies.
no entiendo, explicalo, por favor
Greetings from Mobile Alabama
@@todyoung6858 Thanks. The same from Havana.
Perhaps, the greatest instrumental ever recorded. Edgar Winter played synthesizer, saxophone, and percussion on this song.
Got to see this guy in concert. He played every instrument in the place and really connected with the crowd and he was just warming up for somebody else. He's quite an entertainer.
The song was called frankenstein because thye had to make so many cuts to the master tape to incoporate all the changes, as it was conceived oroginally as a brum solo. Every time this song played I drive my car too fast...damn it is a classic.
Really? Pretty seamless! Nice production work!
Thank you for the information! It's a masterpiece because each segment is a movement much like classical music!! I get loud every time I play it!!
@@JaceHarnage each segment is like a centipede.
I had no idea, that's really interesting!
That's right! I remember a radio dj saying that they looked at how cut up and reattached it was and were like, "whoa, it's like Frankenstein." hahaha
Beautiful. And incredibly well recorded for 1973.
I believe Bill Szymczyk was at the controls. Incredible engineer producer for Joe Walsh & The Eagles.
For any time .
1972
Yes for 1973 I remember it well! This song is Genius!
Those drums still sound punchy as hell 50 years later
My very 1st concert, was Edgar Winter, Rick Derringer, ELO, James Gang with Joe Walsh, and REO. 1974. What a blast. Bloomington Indiana
No words can say how classic this song is
Best memories of my Dad picking me up from school on his Harley to this song and I would play the drums and guitar in the back of him! Trust and reassurance was built during this song and I had no clue other than this was it for me and my Dad! ❤
I haven't heard this on the radio in 40 years. Lost classic.
its in my playlist for my headphones so its not "lost" to me. Im crankin it for my birthday weekend 4-5-24
THIS was a number ONE song!
The SAME week Hocus Pocus by Focus and Wildflower by Skylark were in the top ten.
Reeling In The Years by Steely Dan was number 11.
I was so lucky to be 11 years old then.
It’s no wonder I’m a guitarist.
Great Era loved Casey Kasom Top 40 countdown recording all the songs on my Panasonic cassette tape recorder ah those were the days
1973 was a very good year for music being the last year of the early 70s.
I still have the Focus vinyl. Alas, no longer this album.
I am 63 years young. My oldest son said to me in the 90s.. mom you've blown the speakers in every car you've ever owned ... I believe it was from playing this song 💗
Nah, it was the summer heat and that sunlight that did your car speakers in! 😄
Right on !
It sounds like there was 10 of each instrument. 10 synths, 10 guitars, 10 drum kits, and 10 basses. It sounds awesome
1:30 The saxophone solo is such an eargasm.
It was in 1972 when this came on the radio. We were rolling into Los Vegas from NY. Car was a "70 Challenger RT. I was headed for LA. This was the stuff dreams were made from....
I was 12 when I first heard this. Now I'm 61 and no less mesmerized, every time I hear it. The all-time heavyweight champion of rock music.
I saw Edgar Winter along with Focus of HOCUS POCUS fame in May 1973 at the Augusta, Ga. high school gymnasium. I was stationed at nearby Ft. Gordon. My army buddy and I could touch the stage even though the place was packed... We were deaf for days and it was a GREAT concert.... And yes... I am an antique at 66 today.
Boy there's a combination -- Edgar Winter and Focus. That must've been a jam for the ages.
They probably didn’t piss test in those days! Did you smoke a fat j?
Donald Doucette I’m 62, buddy, you are not an antique. They don’t make them us anymore...lol
Geezers rock.🤘
So let me get this straight, Donald. You heard "Frankenstein" and "Hocus Pocus" at the same concert--and survived?
One of the baddest jams ever by one of the most gifted musicians ever..
I was all of 13 (1973) when I heard this song for the first time. It was summer and at a friends house he brought the album out because his parents weren't home so we played it on their Magnavox High Fidelity Stereo Cabinet. Sweet Jesus Lord we cranked the hell out of it!!! I know we about blew the speakers out. Now almost 50 years later every time I hear this song, still want to crank the shit out of it... some things just never change!
This song was ahead of its time.
Nope, that eas the Time. Hopefully, you didn't miss it. I sure didn't. Kids today wouldn't know what to make of it
Timeless.
Killer synth, drums and no stupid vocals... This song rocks... ☮️🔥
And Edgar Winter on keyboards, guitar, sax, AND drums. All in one song. The man was _pure_ talent.
Not a Focus fan then? 😆
Quadraphonic sound, a waterbed, and now a strobe light. Gentlemen, say hello to the second-base mobile.
Sunstrider Wicked!
holy shit I just realized it was second base, as in with a girl...I thought it was bass mobile as in sound
Yes
A black light, posters, shag carpet and a bong!
We're through the looking glass here people
Drummer is wicked.
I know, like Neil Peart vibes.
As a drummer, I approve this song.
As someone who is obsessed with drums, this song is an eargasm although tbh it's not just the drums, it's the way everything comes together 🎶
An eargasm holy moly out of controly
Eargasm for Synthesizer enthusiastic people too 2:50 part's took to next level
Yes the drums are everything! YES!
Great song. I'm a one man band on youtube. Hope you can enjoy one of my songs.
Which is how it got called Frankenstein, it was a bunch of pieces and parts put together.
I remember this....i was chilling at Santa Cruz beach boardwalk late at night in 1978 and the solo was pouring through some dude's ghetto blaster as he passed by
Watched him play this at the Mikatam Lounge in Flint MI. He was extremely talented. Awesome to watch in action. Could teach most musicians a thing or two nowadays.
Good lawd I heard this in my truck the other day and about hit a tree as I was dazed by how awesome it came out of my sound system. Fantastic song!!! More please! 💕💕💕
If I was a professional wrestler, this would be my entrance music
Which part 😁
How about Crush Kill Destroy by GWAR. Intimidating yet humorous.
Right on my man....TJ STRUSKA
Understandable
Oh boy do I have news for you: czcams.com/video/isuOSPky9cI/video.html
Such a rare thing that a freaky instrumental this long made it to number 1 on radio. Great music!
Frankenstein is an absolute Classic with all required components....
Somewhere Lurch is jamming to this!👍💪😎❤
My parents were haveing a argument in the car back in the day ,all of a sudden Frankenstein came on the radio ,this song completely hypnotize me as a teenager
This is the definition of MUSIC
Well this and Pink Floyd of course
I still get the feeling of exhilaration that I got when I first heard this tune. It's like classical music in that, instead of repeating the same original piece of melody over and over, it keeps moving forward to new melodies. I know it is pieced together like a Frankenstein monster, but this is how all rock should be done.
When musicians were musicians. This is great!
We are still here
What am I dead 💀
🤣
Go listen to super secret band🤫🤫🤫
I got this song stuck in my head and didn't know the name of it and couldn't remember any lyrics for it (for obvious reasons) and just ended up humming the intro for a coworker and he nailed it. So glad to have finally found this song.
I saw this tour in Dec. '72 several months before the album's release. The first time I heard it was live, and Ronnie Montrose was with the band. It made me an instant fan.
My brother had the album on 8-track, I had it on cassette and the 45 with free ride on the flip. WCOZ played Frankenstein 10 times a day for like a year and it never got old. It's one of those songs that was so densly layered you really needed good headphones to get it all in your head. 1973 seems like a thousand years ago.
One of the greatest instrumentals ever.
I had forgot about the horns in this song. Kind of a Chicago vibe there. This song goes through many vibes, I hear E L.P, Manferd Mann, Yan Hammer, Jeff Beck, Zappa & B.O.C.
Should we do a metal or jazz song?
Yes
Sounds like some funk to me brother
California Pizza Kitchen
Some straight sticky funk at points.
boogie rock
Could it be the rock-n-roll equivalent of Gershwin's (classified as jazz) "Rhapsody In Blue?"
Needs more didgeridoo.
I’m thinking this might be my favourite track ever. It still gives me goosebumps ❤
This track is an incredible display of musicianship, but also an enormous credit to the producers and guys on the boards who mixed it so well!
Used to listen to this all the time on LP when I was 12 years old. It just absolutely rocks! 👍
Best song on the album. I just wish the entire album was composed of music like this.
Please watch a live version. I've been listening to this song for almost half a century and I had no idea how many instruments Edgar played during this song.
Keyboard was wild one of the best type of recording made. 71 here saw him live.
I remember many rock and urban contemporary stations played this. Legendary song.
This song still kicks ass, even now!!!
One of the greatest rock instrumental sounds of all time the 70's live on!
❤ I remember listening to Frankenstein, on an 8 track player in 1974 when I had a mercury Capri. Good times
I've always enjoyed science fiction, this song, and smoking weed, often all at the same time, and that's how my favorite bowl got the name Frankenstein. I made him out of several different metal pieces(mostly chamber bowls) and kept replacing parts as they broke in a process that started twenty years ago
kool story, lol
I grew up on classic rock radio. When I was a small child I thought this was the most kick ass thing I’ve ever heard.
I don’t think my opinion has wavered much.
Yeah they just don't make them like this anymore do they it's sad 😔
Pamela Sallee , unfortunately , they do Not!! ✌️
I was around 10, maybe 11 when this song came out. It was a big hit and was played all the time on the radio. I loved it then, and I love it now, and all the years in between!
@@pamelasallee1729 Not only that but there are fewer and fewer 'classic' stations to hear them on..oh well, at least there's Pandora.
This was one of about 6 songs I would have listen to every night before I went to sleep when I was about 12 or 13! Frankenstein, Smoke on the Water, Nights in White Satin, Stairway to Heaven, Space Oddity and later Freebird! The AM station would play Rock starting around 11 pm. Lol!💖🎶
Incredibly ahead of their time! True Masterpiece!
It was UNBELIEVABLE!
In the 1970's I loaned my friend a copy of the 45 single "Free Ride". He liked it, but he loved the B side even more. It was Frankenstein. However being a single, it was only 3:28 long. We were both pleased to discover the album version was much longer at 4:44. We've since enjoyed all the rest of the songs from that great rock album! In addition I was happily surprised to discover seeing Edgar Winter playing the Saxophone on Tina Turner's 1989 music video, "The Best".
I'm so proud I've got all the words memorized!
The ultimate Beebop Jazz rock fusion song in history. I was 18 in 73, tripping on acid at a party when I heard this the first time. I believe, but am not entirely sure, that I lost consciousness traveling between aural and visual hallucinations and body rushes in some kind of alien tripscape. Awesome.
Jeff Newman - I was a year older and heard it for the first time that same year - one of my frat brothers played it through a color organ - I had never been high at that point, but man, I was transported!
Low spark of high heeled boys, also
I was 7 when this song came out! Just as amazing as the first I heard it!
When it hits 1:32 it's my favorite part I love this song sm I was born in 2004 and my dad showed me all the good oldies and this will never get old it's my favoriteeeee
First time in 1971 wow still like liatening 😊
Made it to the charts for one week in 73! So well done!
Being able to correctly identify this song earned me a night of free beer at a bar in Las Vegas back in the mid 90's.
When this song came out I was talking to a guy friend on the phone back before there were “friends with benefits.” He said to me, “you’ve got to hear this song.” He blasted it through the phone and the whole neighborhood must’ve heard it. We were both blown away. Hocus Pocus came out around the same time and wow, what a combo. Would love to relive those moments.
Smoke On The Water, live in Japan was also around this time. I was 12. Peak guitar riff appreciation
Focus
@gordonyork6638 Focus 3 . One of the best albums ever. Never tire of it. Golden Earring live too
@@larspilsen Moontan/Golden Earring.... You gotta hear it too
I remember rock fans AND funk fans loved this jam! It had (and still has) major crossover appeal.
Absolutely, commin from a black man.
Always took this in with me when buying a new car stereo and speakers, try it it still works to this day.
I remember my brother had this album and I loved this music the first time I heard it. I still rock to all my tunes!
Got very baked and listened to this omg😂
I'm going on 69 on oct18 n still smoke weed n still rocking with this song, first time I heard this song I told my mom look mom this is rock n Roll n she went crazy listening to it it was awesome seeing mom rock to it +++++
My go to song when buying a stereo/speakers, home or car.
Crank it up!
I'm playing this real loud on Halloween this year
After playing that play the intro to this song - czcams.com/video/Tn9k4yCJ_KY/video.html When I was mixing this, we had some people soliciting for some religious thing. I had it blasting thru the far fields. They walked right around our building. Was great. Had it looping at our house one Halloween and only one parent - who knew the band and the song - came up to get candy.
Wow...can't wait. That's always nice invade your neighbors...why the hell can't people just enjoy music without thinking loud music makes them badass? Get serious
Todos saben que el rock consiguió la perfección en el 74. es un hecho cientifico
Realmeny , el pendejo de Ursusrex no entendió tu referencia a THE SIMPSONS, él debería de dejar de escribir pendejadas.

I still have this album.
Love the Opening!!! 🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘
This song takes you on a journey to the land of psychedelic rock!
EARPHONES on 9 = wow what a sound and the keyboards fantastic song !
Ronnie Boucher and drums
This is the reason earphones were invented...also various drugs!
It is on of the coolest songs ever.
High school days..listening with a few friends
great song to play during a lightning storm at night.
kelly watkins Great song for the Power Rangers as well, for I can see somebody mashing up this song with the theme song for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
Yes I totally agree this and riders on the storm next time it's storming listen to both it's really cool
A genuine classic! One of truly great rock tunes and groups!! Fire!!!!
