When Musicians Could Play
This is Edgar Winter and Rick Derringer playing Frankenstein. I had always heard that this song was created from scraps on the mixing room floor, but this video belies this. Rick and Edgar are little kids in this video. They're about the age of the Back Street Boys are younger. Can you imagine a modern pop group performing like this in one take on analog tube equipment without "sweetening" or computer synthesis?

That moogy synth crap was not very impressive at all, the sax may or may not have been good (it might have taken skill but was irritating), but when that crazy albino got on the toms it was freaking hot. Mostly i was impressed that they practiced it enough to remember all the tiny details. Even for skilled musicians
What amazes me is how tight their playing was. No solos trailing off into extinction while waiting for the next bored band member to pick up his cue. They all know where they're going on this one. Perhaps this jam from the early 70s is a reaction to some of the incredibly flatulent jams from the late 60s.
