    Ain't nobody not smilin when Muddy had his Mojo workin. He was part of my life. Thanks Mud.
  • Nervous? Never. What a guy! 😆 🤣 😂 Wish I had known his music in the 70s. I was young then. Too young to know what a treasure we had. Appreciate the opportunity to see this.
  • @lucs8129
    how we miss our blues heroes like Muddy Waters and so many others
  • @frankyrubful
    He was truly the King Bee with his busy bees working around him in perfect harmony 🐝🐝🐝
  • Remember seeing him live at the Shaboo around 75 so close I could have almost touched him - damn all these ledgends gone ..muddy, cotton, bb king ..so glad I saw all of them .. 😢sad they are gone ❤but they live on in our hearts
  • You know what even beats this? I saw Muddy in late ‘73 play University of Massachusetts in Amherst. The big difference that night compared to this show was the inclusion of Hollywood Fats on guitar alongside Bob Margolin. I couldn’t believe how well Fats played. From that point on I was a big fan of his. Everyone else also played great that night. Years later I exchanged emails with Margolin. He said to the best of his recollection it was the last gig Fats played with Muddy. I was lucky to have been there. As far as this clip goes, I particularly like Portnoy’s solo on “Blow Wind Blow.” He’s one of the greatest harp players of all time.

    I love these time capsules. The blues is the foundation of all popular music that came after it.
  • I saw this lineup many times. One Easter Sunday in a small club, I was so close bass player Calvin lean over and said "certainly is dismal weather " I was in right place at the right time alot in my life. What a sound, talk about in the pocket!
  • @ER-me1ii
    Muddy really knew how to put together an incredible blues band.
  • These old-timers really knew how to mix it up. Jazzed up and keeping audience enthralled unlike today's music. Muddy Waters was an original innovative performer and pacesetter in jazz music with distinct vocal styles. He's a legend.❤❤😮😮.

    Saw this version of the band in 1976 and 1977 at the Outside Inn, Angola NY Muddy played all night, had all the ladies around him. I am fortunate to have heard such an accomplished and important musician. The bar closed at 4 AM and Muddy played until the lights came on a grateful crowd cheered and cheered the One ,The Only....Muddy Waters ! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸😉😉😉
