RICK DERRINGER - Rock & Roll Hoochie Koo (1973)

[jebro]

The 2nd guitar was Jerry Weems. Replacing Montrose after he left.

[davemooreblues]

Johnny Winter is laughing his ass off somewhere!!!

[lvkenny420man]

yeah that is Ronnie Montrose on guitar and Chuck Ruff on drums!

[MrSmokeyMoe]

jeah the drummer at 54 :D

[heavymetallove7]

The 70s were awesome, you just had to be there!

[jac9z]

those clothes Rick is wearing was the in thing in the seventies.

[71RcodeTX]

Looks like the GREAT Floyd Radford on the white SG!

[TheFishMiester]

The Albino !

[goodolarchie]

I guess Ricks bedtime is soon, they already got him suited into his pajamas :p

[Fulperformance]

Who's the other guitar player?

[cenlablues]

Great vid! Dan Hartman on bass, who's on rhythm guitar, is that Ronnie Montrose?

[postpile]

LOOK AT ME...I'M A ROCK STAR,,,,,NEXT SCHEDULED AMERICAN MURDER....ANTHONY BARTEE

[2MrRussell]

love it!!!!!!!

[okobryloko]

Klawiszowiec wymiata!

[taildragger53]

I'm sure Rick Derringer & Suzi Quatro were the same person because, did you notice, you never actually saw them both at the same time (hmm??). No just joking... Rick's a great player and that Les Paul Custom looks wonderful! I never realised just how tiny he is inspite of the stack heels back then.

[epickett63]

Niiiice...

[neverhit17]

he said pussy

[KalenServices]

Derringer looks like he's wearing a onesie lol

[ansilatoms]

It's a real drag that we lost both Jerry Weems and Dan Hartman.

[ansilatoms]

@ansilatoms and then, recently, Chuck Ruff. It's still too fresh.

[catmando53]

Dan Hartman on the second guitar Later became bigger than Rick !

[avlisk]

Live Rock 'N' Roll is good. This be good. Very good.

[schenker4]

Rickey D got bags in 73 f_ed Up

[linear23]

I loved this album.

[my88grand]

...c'mon little pussy wanna do it to you...killer!

[fretman40]

@my88grand I believe Its "c'mon a little closer, gonna do it to you" !!!!!

[635users]

Guy on Gibson SG behind Rick Derringer is Jerry Weems (Bonaroo), fresh out of the Armed Forces. He was AWOL which explains haircut...

[mrsdice1]

Gotta love Rick Derringer! :)

[MuzeFuze1]

Like the Harmony.....



[toucantango1]

Rick Derringer in his jammies!

[ih8tbush]

The guy playing the sg behind RD looks like he's 14

[Liton777]

this song is so badass!

[gkohlberge]

kick ass vid

[99motleycrue]

this guy was fuckin' killer in his prime, all those years on the road with Johnny really showed up in his playing

[diuga1]

Could you please upload Rick Derringer´s JUST FOR FUN, from the ZAPPED! ost?

[JLShafferArt]

I read somewhere he wrote this song after watching Dicky Betts first band The Jokers in Jacksonville Fla in 67 but dont remember were i seen that.

[gbro69]

@JLShafferArt i saw ABB in NY and it said that on the playbill (early '70's)

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

Now I feel old.I had this on a 45 rpm record as a kid.ROCK ON!!!!!

[looploopok]

seen these guys live in the burg, people were throwing sparklers on the stage,let me tell you it wasent cool .anway these guys rock

[manwhassup1]

Rick was and will always be a true classic rocker, and his hair is so shiny!

[76CutlasSupreme]

Good flash back...rock n roll

[MadMugster]

It is absolutely criminal that this video has less than 70,000 views. EVERYONE needs more "Hoochie Koo" in their life!

[zzzvending]

saw these guys tear it up in Texas doing this song in 73

awesome to see it again

[Freespeech1776]

73 was a great year, this is stereotypical for the year. Good band and song.

[jack8guitar]

Edgar winter is a creepy guy without being albino. but him and johnny are great musicians and the nicest people. playing along side with rick derringer just makes an incredible band

[paxsonkev1]

Every era - and I mean EVERY era, has good and bad music. Name your decade, doesn't matter. What varies is individual opinion.

[Thorrgils]

You should listen to him do Frankenstein or Free Ride great songs by the Edgar Winter group.

[therealraybaby]

#516

[sheikofaraby2]

@armstrongbrosband umm, that's Edgar Winter. He has albinism...

[armstrongbrosband]

@sheikofaraby2 Oh, I didn't know that.

[Thorrgils]

@armstrongbrosband, sorry mate, I read it the wrong way.

[Thorrgils]

@armstrongbrosband, that is Edgar Winter it's his band. Both Edgar and Johnny have albinism

[armstrongbrosband]

@Thorrgils I didn't know that it was because of a phisycal issue. I wasn't trying to make fun of it.

[2MrRussell]

Wow!

[InfernalNightlord]

Rick fucking rocks!!!

[nailheadroadster]

I see what looks like 4 Ampeg SVT heads and cabinets onstage! if Winter, the rhythm guitarist and Dan Hartman were going through those, man what a wall of sound!!

[PNWgroove]

Great R&R.  Outlandish duds. Drummer cracks me up.

[IamUncledeuce]

@PNWgroove The drummer is Chuck Ruff

[LaBak1337]

The bass player looks like one of the McPoyle brothers from Always Sunny hahaha. Great song and performance!

[Nielsanderspoulsen]

God damn Rick is playing so direct and nice rock guitar, this is rock and roll !

[flazjsg]

Nothing better than Rock and Roll Hootchie Koo at 130 dbs! This to me is the definition of rock and roll...

[strappingone]

wow! awesome!

[CombatArchery]

That's Rock and Roll !!!

[rjcole83]

hope ya all know what im talkin about, ya big ol fat thing really knocks me out, high all the time, hope ya all are tooo, come on little mdsyy let me do it to you.... jump on out and spread the news.....

OK

[KnightOwl2006]

Holy crap could these guys play.

[signeseeker17]

@KnightOwl2006 Saw him do this with JOHNNY LIVE. What a battle, what a wall of rock and roll terror.

[enapolillo]

This is raw pure rock and roll. I met Rick in the 80's. Rocked the house!

[snowy16100]

Had forgotten all about this song. Yet another tune to remember LSHS by...

[danpfd]

So great to here this song performed LIVE!!

[SmileyGarrish]

High all the time....hope you are too....

[Ridered1k]

Great vid, Bitchin' Tunes!!! Yeaaa!!

[KokotTheMonkey]

Leather Tuscadero?

[b1p0l4rt]

@KokotTheMonkey LOLOL!!1!

[boddumblues]

Exellent - vibrant!

The performance is fresh. Anyone know how old the song was at that time?

[paulloganvideo]

The Original Red Rocker! Play that thang! 

[TheSonicmule]

ooops 0:37. Love it live

[tempofreak69]

0 dislikes. How could anyone dislike this? Awesome.

[Kevin2011kefs]

Pinche baterista, esta de la mierda D:

[MrJoehenry44]

yeah, they all look funny. but this song is kick ass !!!.

[bboucharde]

@MrJoehenry44 Yes, they look funny to young folks who did not live through the 1970's. Men wore their hair long then. Now, many men shave off their hair to the skin, which was only true of prison inmates back then. These young men lived in a different world: (1) There was no HIV, so they got laid more than you could believe; (2) The average American was about 25% richer than now, but also 25% thinner; (3) Most of our industrial base was still intact---and not yet in China. Food for thought....

[1stSaintsFan]

@bboucharde ...Exactly...I was a Soph in Highschool in 73 and 3 Sport letterman, I could not grow my hair out because of sports but I was at the concerts, buying records and smokin' killer Lebanese and Afghani Hash that the rolltrolls today would only dreMabout...I think this concert was shown on "IN CONCERT" the anti "Midnight Special" TV show....They showed Helen Reddy and EDGAR WINTER GROUP was on IN CONCET...and we were baked watching this pre MTV GOODNESS!!

[hellcat6249472]

@bboucharde So true!



[bboucharde]

@MrJoehenry44 Page 2: And, you are probably aware that Rick is one of the ten best rock-blues guitarists in the history of rock music. His artistry is amazing. If I could go back to that exact place and time,* I would do it in five seconds. *(Los Angeles, 1973)

[AprilRocksLA]

He looks like Leather Tuscadero.

[allanhill1]

Man I get a kick out of the face on the drummer Watch his grimace and twist his face as he plays  lol

[Mogurt7]

Dude, its broncanus on keyboard

[glueforall]

Jim Carrey on drums!! 1:19

[karmajinxxx]

Good stuff. The good news – New Wave/Punk/Metal etc were about to arrive on the scene. The bad news – disco/glam/new age/etc were just around the corner too.

[4tehhorde]

These guys look WAY too happy to be sober...

[The096757]

i thought this song was from 1976. from what i've observed for over 3 decades the years 1972-74 seem to be a dead zone for music but i do know you have to live through a period of music as a drug-free adult to know what was really out there and not judge a time period in music by radio which picks the same shit they think people should hear.

still i think that period lacked good music.

[4tehhorde]

@The096757

Clearly you have never heard of Jim Croce, good sir.

[xtremerockninja7]

@The096757 Pink Floyd, The Grateful Dead, and Yes were all kicking a lot of ass during that time, to name a few. They were making such albums as Dark Side of the Moon, Fragile, and Close to the Edge. Although, I realize that you might not be into that kind of stuff. I sure love it though and would say it's worth a look. Also, the Dead were playing kick ass live shows during that time. You can check some out on archive.org.

[YellowMangerCalling]

God what memories to hear this again - I didn't see it then but Rick Derringer looked somewhat like Steve Howe in those days -- incredible:))

[freddietz96]

Now I see who Randy Rhodes patterned his look/stage presence after. This vid ought to be must viewing for any suburban American guitarist my age, as even though I was only 5 it was what we all aspired to be; Rhodes was professional gloss on an existing image nearly none of us saw.

[stratman900]

dan hartman was a HUge reason edgar winter group was so successful.

he wrote and sang " FREE RIDE "

[glee3d]

nice bangs on Edger

[teden20]

dan hartman died? oh, jesus christ.... he died? i drop now to my knees....God please care for the soul of Daniel Hartman. He is our brother.

[LordSauceness]

Rick Derringer is a seriously under-rated guitarist. Seems to me Johnny Winter played a LOT faster when he was with Rick.

[teden20]

Wow! Dan "what's his name?" on bass. Fantanstic writer by the way.

[Hazelwood59]

@teden20

That's the late, great Dan Hartman on bass. RIP.

[scott30771]

bad ass bass player, and the rest, need I say. AWSOME!

[ScandinavianSingers]

Learned a lot from Rick's guitar-playing in my teens, he Johnny Winter were

my "guitar heros" :)

Scandinavian Singers (talent channel)

[nighthawk584]

that drummer is higher than a kite

[glueforall]

@nighthawk584 look at around 1:22...he looks just like Jim Carrey as firemarshal bill with a blonde wig

[bluedaddy23]

Is that George McFly on second guitar?.......

[probrojeffro]

Saw this guy in Connecticut in a very intimate setting. He ripped the roof off. Great show. 

[MrJeremyTX]

loved the 70's!!

[achilleskid820]

Dazed and Confused brought me here:) great soundtrack!

[milt098279]

@achilleskid820 Me too!

[steveplexus]

Rick has a fantastic amount of energy and a nice stage presence.

[dezertfox4323]

What a sick solo by Rick, he burns it.

superb.

[jonathan401]

Awesome, tight performance!! This looks like a fun song to play live.

[thegreatphenix]

60,70, 80 Best Rock areas!! Gone down hill from there, Theres a Few Bands now a days trying to bring it back old school, I am a young guy in my 20s but 70s area is my favorite Rock era thanks to my Dad

[deanace777]

How tall is he?

[vicious6667]

RIP Chuck

[davemooreblues]

This is  Derringer's best performance of this song.

[kblehman]

There's some tremendous drum playing in this classic rock song!

[craizedkiller69]

rock, and roll, and where the hell has it gone?

[rocknrolla81]

man that drummer is one rocker!

[BONGUSTHEDOG]

@rocknrolla81 the drummer was Chuck Ruff...he died yesterday

[old56timer]

@BONGUSTHEDOG I hate to hear that. seems that all of the good rockers are leaving us:( I'm 55 and all the ones of my generation are checking out!!

[vicious6667]

@BONGUSTHEDOG shitty :(

[MrrPye]

LOL look at the drummer Great troll face!!!

[TheRocknrolldiehard]

Johnny Winter didn't write this song, Rick Derringer did. Also, that was not Ronnie Montrose on guitar (standing behind Rick), that was Jerry Weams a.k.a. Jay Brown. Ronnie Montrose quit in early '73 and reformed his own band.

[TheBearCave123]

He looks kinda like Luke Skywalker with long hair and red pajamas... Great song btw.

[SkidRowJosephine]

The little bastid Zerringer's wearing pajamas! LOL!

[StringBitch1]

full balls on!!!!!! Rick Derringer and Ronnie Montrose; awesome!!!!!! quality from 73 compared to the crap of 2011!!! nuff said!!!!

[STRAIGHTAHEAD1970]

That is pure music & happiness !!!

[TheE1961]

Oh Ya, Rock n Roll Hoochie Koo!!

[emiliano2500]

Beautiful!

[OhSoSommer]

Rick Derringer is one of the best rock guitarists ever. I have to correct the previous post that Johnny Winter did not write this song. Rick Derringer did. He wrote it FOR Winter, to hopefully make Johnny more popular in the rock world.

[MrErnieman7]

Very smooth at 2:11 when he switches to the rhythm pickup and remembers the volume is rolled off and he quickly rolls it up never missing a beat!

[flipjack]

I wonder how that went down.. Rick Derringer x-bandmate of Johnny Winter doing Johnny's song with Johnny's brother Edgar. I spose Johnny did well with the royalties that Derringer brought him...but just wondering how Johnny felt about all that, he was so hungry for fame in those '70s and most people don't even know he wrote this song.

[psatta]

@flipjack rick wrote that song!

[flipjack]

@psatta damn! You're right. I guess I don't know everything. :-)

[MaceMn]

Awesome job of uploading. I remember partyin' to this tune when it came out back when we were 7th graders. Damn good era... Sabbath, Floyd, Deep Purple, Allman Bros., Black Oak, etc.

[jisa61]

man that brings back memories thanks for posting those where the days rock on an smoke a bowl yah take care john

[MaceMn]

@jisa61 Amen to dat!
