Rock geezers, killer song = Banger.

Derringer did indeed tear it up. And he had Edgar singing backup here. RD never seemed to stray too far from Edgar and Johnny.

One of my favorite Rick Derringer Tunes is “Still Alive and Well”. I post a YouTube video of it every January celebrating the fact that I am.

I was going to say, “No Eddie Van Halen tapping there! THat’s the old-fashioned hard way!” Then he broke into something VERY definitely inspired by Eruption around 5:15

This live performance from 1973 with Derringer & Winter, plus Dan Hartman on bass & Chuck Ruff on drums is good, too. Video quality is a bit rough, and there is a pause in the middle, but the guys wailing on vocals & their instruments is extraordinary:

I learned of this song in 1993 with the Dazed and Confuzed soundtrack.

Sweet.

Saw Rick Derringer at a small club in New Haven while dating my wife-to-be.
Saw Ringo Starr with an earlier iteration of his All-Starr Band (Randy Bachman, Mark Farner, John Entwhistle).
Saw Edgar Winter with Leon Russell in an old refurbished theater.

For added kicks, look up: "Sloopy Girl" - the video is a gas!

I saw the Edgar Winter Group in 1973 in Philly. Derringer wore a silver looking Eskimo suit and played the hell out of the guitar. Dan Hartman wore a one piece suit that had the bass pickups,bridge,and tailpiece built right into the suit with the neck attached. Good Times!
