Error in text related to "They Only Come Out At Night"...[edit]

I noticed in the article that "They Only Come Out At Night" was 'the fourth release' by the Edgar Winter Group. The previous release listed was "Road Work", which was actually Edgar Winter with his previous group called White Trash... not as "The Edgar Winter Group".

White Trash had a distinctly different line-up and sound from The Edgar Winter Group, which only shared (besides Edgar Winter) the talents of Rick Derringer between the two bands in several roles. In fact, Rick Derringer did not join the Edgar Winter Group as a full-fledged member until after Ronnie Montrose had left the band, being listed as such upon the release of "Shock Treatment".

Just thought you might want to make a correction or two...

Cheers,

Rick Derringer??[edit]

On the copy of "They Only Come Out at Night" that I got -- with "Shock Treatment" on 1 CD -- only Edgar Winter, Chuck Ruff, Ronnie Montrose, and Dan Hartman are credited with no specifics; no Rick Derringer -- he's only credited for "Shock Treatment". It needs to be verified that he should be credited here for this album.BlueIris2 (talk) 18:52, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I saw The Edgar Winter Group at Winterland in SF in February 1973. On the stage with Edgar was Dan Hartman, Ronnie Montrose and Rick Derringer. Also, Edgar’s brother Johnny came out when Edgar said, “People keep asking me, where’s my brother?” They played Still Alive and Well and Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo before Johnny left with Derringer right with him. I had seen Johnny and Derringer together with Johnny Winter And at Fillmore West, in one of the most incredible performances I have ever seen. When Johnny played at Winterland, he was not the same Johnny. He left the stage after the two songs.

I have to say that Derringer was like having a great point guard on a basketball team. He enjoyed giving other musicians a chance to shine as much as he enjoyed the spotlight himself. He didn’t let ego get in the way with Johnny and Edgar, Ronnie Montrose, Dan Hartman or anyone else that I know of. He loved playing the funkiest rhythm guitar chops as much as he like playing leads, I am pretty sure. I think he is underrated. There are a lot of famous rock and rock/blues bands that would be better if they had a Derringer.

I realize I rambled a bit. But the main point, Ronnie Montrose and Rick Derringer were on stage at the same time. And when those two, Dan Hartman and Johnny were all up there, well that was some firepower! Not to mention the great Edgar! My ears were ringing and after that I started bringing earplugs to concerts! Living in the days of regular amazing concerts in the SF Bay Area was my “privilege”. 206.81.148.27 (talk) 08:04, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
