so much talent! but let me tell you, rick derringer can still wail, better than ever! great show!
Rick and Edgar were great. We were disappointed that there was no encore, and one of my favorite songs is Easy Street which they didn't play. But, the show was fantastic.
What a great setting to hear my longtime idol. I was in the second row, and even got to ask him a question. The sound was very good in the concert room. Thumbs up for presenting such an important and legendary musician!
Very disappointed. Too much of the concert was solos by the band. Too few songs were played.
The whole the concert was awsome i would go see them again
Rarely have I been to a concert where I just couldn't decide which act was better. Rick must've been born with a guitar! Where does Charlie get the energy? He was just amazing ! Tommy just wouldn't quit. In fact, this trio was made, one for the other! Also, how gracious of these guys to sign autographs, pose for pix, & talk to the fans! What can I say about Edgar? "Frankenstein" said it all. The drummer & guitarist could duel with any of today's talents. The only disappointment was that Edgar & Rick didn't play together.
Better than the first time I saw them 38 years ago!
I wore out my White Trash album back in the seventies and this is the first time I've gotten to see Edgar. He is a true talent....voice, keyboards, sax, percussion, songwriting. I never thought 4 guys could pull off Frankenstein live but they really did it. Very cool. Edgar & band were great but my family and I really thought Rick Derringer (opening act) stole the show. Rick is at the "Rock Guitar God" level (yes.. like Santana, Clapton, Hendrix). Rick playing encompassed rock, blues, jazz, space-jams and even classical and other cool stuff where he was just showing off. There were alot of "wows" and jaws dropping watching this guy. The guitar player in Edgar's band was no slouch either. And Rick played the guitar with Edgars band on Free Ride & Tobacco Road.
Rick Derringer has been putting out the songs, since the early 60's. He was able to treat us to a small part of his legacy. Being a sound guy myself, I wanted the bass down in the mix more, but that bass player was a character , so I didn't mind that much. Edgar was in prime form, emitting his positive energy, to everyone attending.
Rick Derringer was absolutely fantastic, He actually played longer and with more connection to the audience than Edgar. Edgar was preoccupied with looking at his watch. But even at that Edgar did a great job at what he did. I was sort of dissapointed that there was no encore, even though the fans were cheering for one. Seriously, I think that Rick did a much better job than Edgar and I am a Real Edgar fan. (Since 1972) This was the flattest performance I have ever seen by Edgar and hope that the next time I see him he is more engaged. Rick was awesome, Edgar is always awesome but I have seen him much better. Tom D.
Thought that the two stars were performing together, but it was still a great show. Edgar still has his 5 octive range singing voice and some set of lungs on him. To blow the sax, jump around the stage and sing all at the same time. WOW Have seen him and Johnny many, many times. GREAT!!!
Even though the venue was half full Rick rocked with his drummer and bassist. Edgar's voice is great the the bassist and guitarist were perfection.
A wonderful performance from the 2 bands that performed that night. Winters rendition of Tobacco road highlighted his performance. Kudos to Mr. Derringers band for their classic performance of Hang on sloopy, as well as Rock an roll hootchie koo. Big thanks to Mr Derringer and his band for taking the time to have my picture taken with them during intermission for my early 50th birthday present. It was a wonderful experience.
The virtuosity of the musicians was tops! Only one complaint, Edgar Winter and his band (fabulous lead guitarist, great bass player and amazing drummer) only played for 1 hour....What happened guys?
Show was too short. Edgar only played around 4 or 5 songs and when the crowd chanted ENCORE ENCORE!! he didn't deliver and didn't okay another song. Not rock n tmroll!!
Edgar Winter hasn't lost his incredible stage presence nor his incredible voice. As a musician of the 70's fame, his voice and musical talent is beyond what you would expect. Rock n Roll Hoochy Koo! Just watch him playing the keyboard, saxophone, or drums! More talented than many "R&R" stars today! What voice inflection! Sure wish I could do that! Rick Derringer is the backbone of both the Edgar and Johnny Winter Bands. Amazing Guitarist! Don't miss this!
This was the time in two months that I have seen Edgar Winter and this show was every bit as good as the first! I would most definitely go and see him again if he comes back to this area!
Edgar and the band are really good. Edgar still has a great voice and knows how to perform. We sat close to the stage (3rd row) so we had a wonderful veiw. When it was quiet and it was just Edgar and one other player the sound was excellant. Unfortunately when the entire band was playing the only person you could not hear was Edgar. In the beginning of the show he had problems with his vocal mic cutting in and out and it took the sound guy 15 minutes to replace it. I hope the sound was mixed better in the middle and back of the room. Great band great vocals bad sound guy.
Good show, maybe could have played a little longer, we had good seats, nice small venue.
OUTSTANDING!! Such incredible talent! Edgar hasn't lost a beat since I saw him 20 years ago! Vocals - energy and BAND mates provided an enjoyable night!
