Wow. Without a doubt, the best musical performance I have EVER SEEN. Why can't there be music like this, in this generation?! I was born too late. -_-
you look me in they eyes and tell me that Edgar Winter is not the best and most musically talented person you have seen in a long, long, long time. seriously, drums saxaphone and keyboard thats mad crazy.
Oh wow! THis is actually really really good, I heard them for the first time lastnight (my dad has the old grey whistle test on dvd) and I had to look it up on youtube =)
In 83 or so I had the great opportunity to have roadied for Edgar. It was an awesome time, I'll never forget it. It was near Cincinnati at a biker rally at a small race track, on the 4th of July. It rained like hell during this song as an on-core! The plastic roof over the stage was installed wrong and they got VERY wet, and kept on playing, and not a soul left the crowd. Excellent musician and person to have met.
Edgar Winter rocks. I taught at the University in his hometown of Beaumont, Texas. I sure wish I could have run into him there. I would have loved to meet him.
1st off this kicks ass but does anyone els think the drummer( well this guy i wayyy more taltended) but does anybody think he looks like lars ulrich thi guy is a ton better tho
Nobody notices Rick Deringer on guitar? This is one of the most rocking performances of a rocking song anyone could want. Edgar and the guys tearing it up!
"why the hell isn't anyone playing music like this anymore???" - because the average music consumer doesn't appear to have the attention span to listen to this. -- "Great drumming by Chuck Ruff!" but why the bike horn?
bicycle horn??? Not THAT'S Rock n Roll!
