Muddy Waters in 1976: Kansas City (superb cover)

[@stevendreith4343]

What I like about Muddy Waters, is that he always lets the other musicians shine.

[@paulverhoeven9154]

Because he is not the best musician!

[@stevendreith4343]

@@paulverhoeven9154 That's why he teamed-up with Johnny Winter.

[@hawkeyepierce59]

All His career,He had top notch musicans,from drums,harp,guitar....H.Wolf also....they even exchaneged them....for some reasons.....

[@hawkeyepierce59]

....and piano....sorry

[@tattyshoesshigure5731]

Jerry Portnoy’s harp playing is superb on this! ❤

Because musical appreciation is subjective, I can't listen the Eagles but love CCR?

[@MsRockett88]

@@graemeatkinson8411 the Eagles are not masters, Muddy is/was one.

Real music…. I don’t know why or how it happened, but for me it’s all about the Blues

[@valjen5055]

MUDDY,MY FAV ORITE BLUES Master!

[@jeffmill999]

I grew up in KC...both sides of State Line.. This song was written by 2 guys in New York who had never been there.. I took a train as a kid...The train station is fairly close to 12th st. and Vine... To see my idol Muddy do it is amazing.. We probably had a dozen or two of the same crazy women....from ol Kansas City, Mo.....

[@BlueLou974]

I saw many time Muddy & the band on stage, I can tell that this version of Kansas city is a monster.

[@edwardkornstein]

it cannot get better everybody is in perfect sinc ! steady rollin bob margolin plays with his whole body including his face and eyes

Jerry Portnoy is absolutely terrific on the harp!!!

No doubt the voice of Muddy Waters goes through your heart and mind like no other

[@krzysztofjaworski2311]

Witajcie fanki i fani bluesa z całego świata. Pozdrawiam z Polski. Takiego, kosmicznego bluesa jest teraz na świecie coraz mniej, ale on wciąż jest i się nie poddaje. W tym bluesie Muddy Waters ze swoimi przyjaciółmi w całej okazałości pokazuje skąd się brał, bierze i będzie brał po wsze czasy czar przecudownej muzyki, zwanej bluesem.🙂👍🎸🍒❤️🎵👏👊🌐🌙👊🏻☀️

[@motonegros]

Muddys voice is pure silk.

Love to hear that rich voice. And what a great band around him ! Outstanding performance Long live the blues !

One of the best 10 videos on KZbin!

[@chrisjaybecker]

Backed by what would soon be named the Legendary Blues Band: Luther 'Guitar Jr.' Johnson and Bob Margolin -- guitars, Pinetop Perkins -- piano, Jerry Portnoy -- harp, Fuzz Jones -- bass, Willie 'Big Eyes' Smith -- drums.

[@fredhill9905]

Thanks

[@FrankGonzales-ke6wr]

Jerry and I partied together at Blues Harbor.. for the 2 weeks they performed here in Atlanta.. 1987… we stayed friends for a few years thereafter … he sent me tapes and some of their record albums!

[@AntonioEduardoCoronaCont-ck9ve]

Magníficos músicos, magnífica interpretación..... ! 🙂

[@redrocks1983]

He always had superb harmonica players on his Studio and Live songs.

[@johnlane35]

The beautiful voice of Pinetop Perkins.

Still watching this for years! Best Muddy Waters Band composition ever!

Don’t forget Calvin Jones on bass. He is keeping it grooving

I'm getting on in years and hopefully I end up in that part of hell that's featuring Muddy Waters, pray for me people.

[@vincepetrovic8700]

Well the Blues is the Devil’s music, so it’s very likely that the greatest blues guitarist gets to be a headliner.

[@darrenford8929]

@@vincepetrovic8700 try telling mississippi John Hurt or Mississippi Fred McDowell that its dark evil blues. There are many styles of the blues. Pray to Jesus for forgiveness and Believe. And keep the Blues alive.Peace. Brother

[@timomastosalo]

Hope you meet in Heaven. In Hell it doesn't happen, that's lonely torment as - Hell

[@timomastosalo]

@@vincepetrovic8700 No headliners or any other pleasures there. It's not Satan's Kingdom - it's his Death Row - and of those he cheated there. He's the most wile cheat of an advertiser: he's selling real estate from a prison, the one where he's gonna end up too - just his mouth is open yet to sweet talk… just 'a few' more. He's going down, but not before he has wrecked havoc upon as many as he can.

[@timomastosalo]

@Marco Evans Nothing well in Hell. The prisoner number one selling folks holiday resorts from a prison of Death Row Only on his way there. Sweet talking of course - how else would people buy it. Do you think it would sell if he told the real state of things? Like a used cars sales man pimps the rides to look appealing, is how he's handing out brochures of the 'luxury holiday' in Hell... And folks are hurrying there, like moths to flame. Creepy.

[@rakoczi29]

absolutely flawless! & absolutely brilliant!

[@johnmeehan5850]

Typing this as I'm listening. Bouncier version than Wilbert's and just as wonderfully done. Skip beat on the drum is more prominent in this one. Muddy uses stop choruses where Wilbert doesn't. More soloing also. Definite distinction between rock 'n roll and blues versions.

[@bluerick]

great rendition...fine lead guitar work...

Muddy Waters taught himself to play guitar! It was in his DNA. And one of the best!

[@michaelwoods9005]

Most guitarists teach themselves to play guitar, it's not rare. It's how the instrument is traditionally learned.

[@OtisSpain]

Esto dice hoy el New York Times, entre otras cosas, sobre Pinetop Perkins: "His longevity as a performer was remarkable - all the more so considering his fondness for cigarettes and alcohol; by his own account he began smoking at age 9 and didn’t quit drinkin' until he was 82. Few people working in any popular art form have been as prolific in the ninth and tenth decades of their lives."

[@gabrieldunne0]

Willie Big Eyes really carries the whole tune with his superb drumming :)

[@jeromejones2983]

I love this, the great Muddy Waters.

[@scottbarber6694]

via Google Translate: "This theme was included in Muddy's repertoire of the late 70s, with the collaboration of Pinetop Perkins almost always, so that we have a few versions of it, both on disk and in video. This is the best, for my taste, thanks mainly to the superb harmony of Jerry Portnoy in third position (not the solos of Bob Margolin and Luther Johnson are snot of turkey, by the way). Warsaw, Poland, 1976."

[@chazhernandez701]

This may be a basic blues song but not when Muddy is involved he was one of the Masters. Thanks for posting. Great version!

That was until we were at a Clapton concert in Chicago and Muddy was on stage with him??? Holy Heck he said! Muddy had this funny saying "cool as a motor pool" he woiuld say...
