Just taking a YouTube stroll down memory lane and found this early recording of Edgar Winter's band doing Frankenstein. I didn't know how talented he was on so many different instruments. I know, it has nothing to do with Ovation Guitars, except perhaps a correlation between good music and having fun. It looks like these guys were having a blast...

THAT WAS AWESOME! I do have a couple of questions, though. Why is it that all these digitized video tapes make everyone's mouth look like a great black gash? Adds a kind of ghoulish air to the video. and, Does anyone remember the concert footage of this song, and the guy who covered both drum parts at once on his massive, like 30-piece, drumset? That video was one of the things that sold me on being a drummer at a preteen age. I think this video is better though, and I can certainly see an Alice Cooper-esque approach to Edgar's performance.

Thanks for posting, Vince.

That bassist is solidly in the pocket. He's driving the whole show. Imagine how anemic the song would be without that groove. I'm always amazed at how people only subliminally perceive the bass when it is the foundation of the entire sound. Many times I have asked people to listen to the bass in a song only be told "I can't hear it". They could sure FEEL it if it was suddenly gone though.
