Drummer reacts to "Jumpin' Jack Flash" / "Mannish Boy" / "Honky Tonk Women" by The Rolling Stones

[@allanbluzdude]

Buddy Guy, it was his club, this was on off night of The Rolling Stones 1981 tour in Chicago.

[@UFOS4]

Wow, that was so fantastic! Epic Stones songs that never get old and Mr. Muddy Waters looking sharp in his vest and tie giving us his classic “Mannish Boy” while inviting up blues legends to the stage. That club was the place to be!

[@captainsatellite2112]

Saw Buddy Guy and Junior Wells at the San Francisco Blues Festival in the mid 80s. Great OG blues guitarists. Other greats like Etta James, Albert King, Carlos Santana and Buddy Miles were also there. What an awesome show at the SF Great Meadow.

[@JohnLedger-g4i]

RIP Charlie. A superb jazz and rock drummer. Always understated but holding the rhythm section down.

[@L33Reacts]

Yes, Charlie was one of the best . He deserves way more credit than he gets.

[@WendyDarling1974]

I love all of these, but the performance with Muddy Waters is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing - never seen or heard that. That music, that kind of groove, is what the Stones were all about when they started.

[@JohnLedger-g4i]

Muddy enjoyed that as much as the Stones. The two way adoration.

The Stones had been doing a show in town that night. After the show they decided to check out Muddy Waters in a small club. There's a whole video of this as someone here has mentioned. Great spontaneous jam

[@phonebone81]

a few stones members enter the checkerboard club because they want to hear Muddy Waters. Muddy Waters sees them and invites them to play with him. Maybe you should watch all the vids of it - it's really fun. The other two musicians were "Buddy Guy" and "Junior Wells" both are very good and famous blues musicions. Thanks for sharing and all the best from Hamburg / Germany

[@jraben1065]

The Rolling Stones chose their name from the Muddy Waters lyric "I'm a Rolling Stone" in "Mannish Boy". Bob Dylan also wrote "Like a Rolling Stone" inspired by those Muddy Waters lyrics. L33, a great followup Reaction would be Muddy Waters "Mannish Boy" from "The Last Waltz" Movie. Every performance in "Last Waltz" is amazing, and you could double-up Muddy with a Reaction to Clapton's/The Band's "Further On Up The Road", (another classic performance).

[@YeungSze]

Muddy Waters has a song simply titled "Rolling Stone".

On Honky Tonk Women, that was a new vocal performance by Mick with the studio backing track. I've seen the video with the late, great Muddy Waters, and it shows Mick, Keith and Woodie showing up at the club where Muddy is performing. I seem to remember Keith having an enormous hunting knife, which he stuck in the table. I may be mixing that up with some other Keith sighting. But anyway, they walk across tables to get on stage, and then the jam.

[@andrewwright9378]

That was Buddy Guy in the white suit. Followed by Junior Wells in the cardigan and flatcap. Don’t know grey suit guy.

Definitely best live version of JJF. Playing it LOUD here in Ireland now.

[@lorrainebowen6530]

You need to watch the Mannish Boy from the beginning! You missed out on the Stones entrance and Muddy calling each onto the stage. I believe the first song was Baby Please Don’t Go

[@vicprovost2561]

He has to do Muddy's entire set.

[@JohnLedger-g4i]

This is the music the Stones imported at great expense before they really got together properly. In fact it was the fact that Jagger and Richard’s got to know each other as they were both carrying Muddy LPs at a station and they got talking and it rolled from there.

[@vicprovost2561]

How important is Muddy Waters when think about it, without him, they would never meet! Mind blowing important person in the history of modern human culture. Muddy Waters is beyond a blues legend, without him. There might be no Rolling Stones!

[@scottyhotty1003]

Wow too both comments❤❤

[@damonhines8187]

Fantastic assortment, great Stones sampler, goddam groove machine. Keith's and Charlie's lockstep connection was central to Keith's muscular riffs working. A buddy used to say "Gotta roll as well as rock, people forget". Actually the comment for next week's episode, this morning's with 'Start Me Up'. Great stuff. 😊❤

JJF from ya ya’s, when I first heard that as kid in the 80’s it blew me away All of my friends were into the 80’s artists popular at the time but for me it would always be the Stones from that day on Great reaction brings back memories as a teenager listening for the first time

I have a bootleg called 'Liver Than You'll Ever Be'. At the time (68-69) it was only the second live album of the Stones available so sold very well, hence why Jagger wanted this album released.

Did you say that Jumpin jack Flash from Bridges to Buenos Aires was blocked? Shame as I really dig that version. I think the singer who joined the stage late on is Buddy Guy? Not sure though, I thought I heard them say that. The Stones also played on stage with Buddy Guy in Scorcese's Shine A Light concert video (2005). They covered the Muddy Waters track Champagne and Reefer.

[@debjorgo]

Muddy was the only one I know. I see below the one guy was Buddy Guy. I'm not too deep into the blues. I liked Honky Tonk Woman. It did sound like the record, which I liked.

[@larryleyba6496]

Buddy Guy has to be approaching his 90s and released an album less than a year ago. It is pretty solid.

[@bradsense7431]

As a big fan of Muddy Waters I saw him numerous times at various venues in and around Chicago. Small clubs and larger theaters. Best time was at Auditorium Theatre in Chicago about 1977 when he was touring his Hard Again LP that Johnny Winter produced and played on. That night in 1977 was memorable with Muddy and Johnny Winter, James Cotton on harp, Pine Top Perkins on piano, Bob Margolin/guitar and others. I know many think of this song Mannish Boy when they think of Muddy but it’s actually down my list of favorites. Just too basic for me he has so many better.
