Throwback Thursday | Edgar Winter Group’s Frankenstein Live

Edgar Winter is the ultimate utility player of rock. The Edgar Winter Band front man can lay it down on keys, saxophone and percussion, making him a true triple threat. To check out his vast skills on each instrument, look no further than a live performance of the group’s big hit -“Frankenstein.”

Winter starts on synth keytar for the band’s epic nine-minute take on “Frankenstein,” but quickly picks up a sax and delivers an exceptional solo before moving over to percussion for a call-and-response segment with the drummer. From there, it’s back to keytar, on which he uses a base module to eek out all sorts of spacey sounds. Edgar heads back to percussion for the big finish. Check it out:
