I saw Johnny Winter about 5 times back in the 70's! The album "Live Johnny Winter and" is
from 1971. Rick Derringer is the other guitar player! Killer tune!!!

Him & Johnny were pretty scary looking... (They were Albino's I believe) :-\

 

This is from Wikipedia...

"Frankenstein" is a rock instrumental by The Edgar Winter Group from their album They Only Come Out At Night. In live performances of the song, Edgar Winter further pioneered the advancement of the synthesizer as a lead instrument by becoming the first person ever to strap a keyboard instrument around his neck[citation needed], giving him the on-stage mobility and audience interaction of guitar players. The song topped the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart for a week starting in May 1973, and sold over one million copies. It was knocked from the #1 spot by Paul McCartney's "My Love". Frankenstein reached #18 in the UK the following month.[1]



HaHa.. knocked from 1st place by me and my wife's wedding song!

Yes, they are albinos and talented too. The song "Frankenstein" was a song they pieced together over time, hence the name.

Edgar Winter was the first  put a strap on his synthesizer so he could get out and move around on stage. Wasn't called a Keytar when he started it. I've seen him 3 times now, and he always tells that story on stage.
