Opened for the James Cotton Blues Band in 68 what a honor the was, and Muddy and Wolf are the Kings of Electric Chicago blues the likes of them will never be seen again. God Bless you. FS

[@sorblife2308]

Take you back Do do Do do Take you back. Love ya Frank!

[@bartmacaluso]

Cause its not that easy to let go of

[@DerekCastleSr.]

Holy cow is this really Frank Stallone?!?!

[@SlimDavenport]

I wish there was a complete cd/dvd of this session. the chicago blues ensemble sound is just incredible.

[@vectortemple]

Muddy was unique the way he showcased the harp in his music even though he wasn't a harp player - outside of Muddy himself, the harp was always the most important sound in his band.

[@bahzingapunk2654]

Even otis spann said that the harp was the most important instrument in the band

[@mikemurphy8350]

Muddy started blowing harmonica and then switched to guitar in his late teens.

[@DrDixonBhD]

Got to play right after James Cotton had torn the club a new hole with Muddy Waters !!! Because of my Mentor Big Walter Horton !!! When I finished we both came off the bandstand, Muddy with His arm over my shoulder saying "You Got That Sound Son" !!! "You Got A Voice With It" !!! TONE is what Muddy Waters was saying to me that night 1976 at The "Quiet Knight" Club in Chicago !!! I'll never forget it y'all !!!

[@nickb3250]

Keep the harp screamin, man

[@DrDixonBhD]

Thanks Gibson Blues are you on Facebook ?

[@benaycock1646]

That’s such an awesome story, holy crap

[@paulj0557tonehead]

Muddy Waters and Albert King were so much more than the blues. There just is nobody that's been able to fill their shoes. Thanks for the post.

[@Audisadora]

this music is objectively amazing. the amazing thing about it lies not in how it is what it is, but in what it is in and of itself. it is amazing as a form, regardless of its origin,history or context. It even transcends the historical place of the viewer (we youtube viewers still feel the effect of this performance over half a century later) . .... just as we can say of any truly great work of man. the manipulation of form to this end, be it visual or musical, is the calling of all humanity.

[@magich8ball]

SO. MUCH. WIN. I feel like I should have a glass of some damn fine southern whiskey and a cigarette in some bar somewhere, jukebox in the corner and music like this on it. This is one of those things God gave us to show us we still have emotions.

[@Gonzaaaga]

It is really the Best Blues Band in the Land

[@AndrewVOdom]

Love it, Love it. Muddy was it... .this whole show needs to be shown more often to remind people of the great talents we once had in the USA..and still do if you look around for the real deal blues... Thanks for the post... Muddy all the way..!

[@stefanhall3219]

First time and every time I hear Muddy's bass voice sing the Blues,it just slays me!

[@alloygermany8883]

This is the type of song that makes you "Mmm, yeah that was good!"

[@fncz]

DAMN!! HE WAS SMOOTH!!!

[@NITEWALKERJ]

some of the greatest and true lyrics ever wrote.

[@dontel68]

Much thanks to ragbagken and youtube for this footage. My grandfather, Jimmie Lee Morris, who played the bass alongside Muddy in this video (and Got My Mojo Workin in this same setting in another video) recently passed away. This footage gives our family another cherised memory of "Pops" doing his thing back in the day.

[@paco777771]

We'll never hear music like this again. MTV truly did kill good music!

[@mwelch5124]

Thank God for muddy Waters

[@anthonyatentobello7953]

The blues teach many lessons to many artist and had made melodys basics that still sound today. Artists like the rolling Stones, Beatles, Elvis, got rithyms and styles that came with the blues, and no body now wants to remember that.

[@blusnuby2]

Fear Not ! It`s WELL known, my friend.

[@roadyrider]

Muddy was sooo cool! I grew up in a mostly black neighborhood back in the '60's and I remember my buddy Melvin's dad always wore his hair greased-up like Muddy did. I'd go over to his house and there was his dad, playing his LP's of Muddy, BB, John Lee, Big Momma, Lightning, Son House...so many, on the record player, nice and loud! That's where I learned to love the blues.

[@SorenSorenssen]

Oh why can't I vote 200000000000 thumbs up for that?????

[@spellbinder196]

Im a white female from the south and I love the Blues and have great respect for it.

[@lorenzobaines6222]

This performance is a perfect example of why I love him. He isn't dancing or gyrating anything. He is consumed by every word coming out of his mouth. The band is so good it''s mind blowing. American music at it's absolute finest.

[@MichaelHattem]

Look up his Got My Mojo Working from Newport 1960.

[@theladyisatramp520]

Hach... ein heißer Sommerabend, Holzterrasse, Schaukelstuhl und Blues Blues Blues...

[@Aminharp1]

The Lady Is a Tramp nie besser beschrieben

[@theladyisatramp520]

😉 Danke ❤lichst ! Aber es ist so... ein Blues geht ins Blut, ist mental... Eric Clapton bringt ihn auch so natürlich. Und wenn dann noch die Stimme paßt 💋... Mir gehts auch anderweitig auch so- bei Rock z. B., kann nix dafür - bin so. Gute Nacht ! 🙋🌛🏨💤💤💤

[@annamardurandes3008]

Wow, quelle voix

[@GregParker]

Love Muddy,even more, for his lifelong respect for blues harmonica accompaniment. One of his best,live !!

[@mmjaljs]

This cut is off the charts! Phat like elephant's bottom!

[@EliteTheOmen74]

Rest In Peace to bass player Jimmie Lee Morris. My grandfather and friend forever

[@billblankenship2587]

Thanks Muddy !

[@november191968]

Muddy,you keep playing your music,people here are fighting over nothing.

[@hippiepsycopathz]

this made rock n roll!

[@ramsesstafford4640]

Yes I know. 👍🏽

[@Muffett53]

wow. This is fantastic. Read up on his life...lots to write about..and sing. This song sums it up tho...you just can't lose what you never had. So it makes it useless to cry over nothing. I wasted too many tears on that...nothing. I am so glad I found this ...Muddy Waters...singin' the blues. This song.

[@vionorino]

what a great wide voice!

[@walstib77]

McKinley Morganfield for President. Dude could phrase a lyric like no other, and with that velvet voice, man. None better. NONE! I hope, when my last day comes up on the calendar, I get to listen to some Muddy Waters/Willie Dixon collaborations before signing off.

[@FightingTheWitness]

great stuff. The masters of DA BLUES oh yeah

[@tsp1mwd]

Happy Birthday Muddy. Always good to see him slide again. MD

[@Odin029]

A few things: My first job was digging drain lines with a pick and shovel in the TN heat. I did that all during high school. So don't tell me about physical labor. 2nd, blues is a genre of music taught from one generation to the next. Its a personal music about your story. A 'blues' was another word for 'story' in the old days. Its those stories that people relate to. Just because one guy's blues is worse than another guy's doesn't mean one belongs in the genre and the other does not.

[@bislibamba]

I love the faces muddy has while singin the blues and that harmonica guy is amazing

[@KrismanX]

muddy waters is immortal

[@zthetha]

WOAH!!! WHAT A BAND!

[@GiggleBlizzard]

Even though we hate todays mainstream music so much today, and we know it's really bad there is one big differense between this and todays mainstream music; This stuff will always be remembered and appreciated by true music lovers, because this is legendary, meanwhile todays mainstream music is just songs and artists that are popular for a few years and then will be long forgotten. And it's all about the kids, they will grow up and realise what is good and what is not.

[@credenza1]

Otis is underrated today. WHat a great player.

[@clarenceransaw3621]

Muddy will always be remembered

[@Bassist10288]

I've never watched Muddy blazed before... he's like the best blues act I've ever seen. I can't believe i'm seeing this

[@Nottalottasleep]

That is Mr. Spann sir. I'm listed as the Unit Production Manager on the video release of this 1996 remastering of the original 1966 recordings. I also had the pleasure of remastering the decayed original 2" Ampex open reel video tape. The Rhino put these recordings back into circulation. There are a total of approximately 27 hrs. of performance, of which originally only an hour went to air in '66, with an additional 1/2 hour minutes added for the single re-broadcast in '67.

[@stratablueski]

The one and only Muddy Waters..thanks for posting this..

[@Odin029]

I worked the stage when Ray Charles came to my college to do a concert and he was blind but he could 'read' music. He rearainged an entire song in about 2 minutes and it was great. I don't know if Stevie can write and read music, but I know that Ray could. As for the learning, I went to music school and stuff, but I play better when I don't give a damn about what scale to use or which progression. Just play what you feel and if you do it right, it'll sound right.

[@payableondeath9091]

thats why they call it soul music

[@penyea]

Luv those blues!!!! My sister lives in louisiana the blues state. Can't get any better than MR.MUDDY WATERS.ooooooh eeeeeee

[@overcomer9434]

I absolutly love the blues and muddy waters never let us down

[@ssurfcity]

we were lucky to have Muddy and his band during our lifetime.....and also the internet to preserve the music.

[@5150zombie]

I'm not a muddy authority, All I got is folk blues and the stuff he did when he was making albums with winter. I always respected him for being one of the godfathers and writing cool songs but never really looked at him as a player. That solo was fucking sharp. I'm gonna dig deeper. thanks for posting this.

[@Wolfmanjack5150]

oh god i can feel the blues and i cant stop moving jeez what happen to talent?

[@ztomac]

seriously, who do you become this good at something? the man is god.

[@Alemayehu45]

At times the Blues is pure Zen wisdom!

[@folklore2]

He's so nonchalant and yet his playing is so perfect.

[@RJLRaymond]

I like this version much more than the one released on Folk Singer (though it wasn't originally on it, got added later.) I love how Cotton at 3:00 starts smacking his harmonica. What a cool bunch of guys.

[@bahzingapunk2654]

What an amazing session this was..hope to find the full one some day

[@heavynumbertaco]

I watched an interview with Muddy. I can’t quote him but he said the blues harp was a key ingredient to the blues sound. That and when he did gigs everybody better show up in their Sunday best. He said when he played for people who worked hard all week and came to spend their money that he wanted to respect that and give them his best. I believe you can see that sentiment in quite a few of the iconic performers that followed in his path Lastly,God bless James Cotton. All you harp players out there,this is a perfect example of less is more. Somebody oughta play this for that dude in the Blues Babblers

[@coravisser727]

this is real awesome to hear Muddy Waters thank you so much for your great music.You have done a lot of tracks.Wonderfull to listen.

[@Juliasblues]

Thank you for your sensitive response...The Amazing Muddy Waters, sooo fabulous....PeaceLoveBlues...Spread the News !

[@MushroomP1llowz]

WOW!!

[@MrEdRobertson]

holy Muddy, you will never die as long as blues lives.

[@Immanuelsgirl]

Love love love it. Thanks for loading this. My daddy played these songs on the piano and gave me a love for the music. Mercy me,this is goooood.

[@TDKIII]

it seems Muddy aged alot from 1966 to the arly 70s; he still has his youthful vibe here; he seems older by 1970

[@juanpolan1a]

The best, my dear Muddy.

[@TheDeltaBluesAlarm]

IDOLO!

[@JilianWensul]

Blues is soul, is the feelings... men... blues runs deep.

[@muddyguitar]

Saw Muddy Twice-fell to my knees the second show-It was religion

[@nicksmith8175]

sooo true i feel ya muddy

[@OscarVillares]

Murio cuando cumplis los 11,sin embargo cuando escucho su musica pienso que le he estado siguiendo desde que naci

[@ashappy6]

Got to see Muddy 4x in 5 states always great .

[@BluesHand]

Can't spend what you ain't got, can't lose some little girl you ain't never had.................Oh how I miss my Muddy!

[@nickbarcenas]

damn look at muddy waters he's such a smooth ass blues player so clean on his delivery and dresses clean like his music he's a pimp of the 50's blues for sure i love his hair it's so cleanly slicked back but got that wavy thing going on better then the greesers or elvis hair by far..

[@bodye6]

Just a beautiful person of music screwed

[@vectortemple]

@5150zombie - There is (or used to be) a Chess collection called 'More Real Folk Blues' - almost the whole thing is just with a trio - Muddy on what's maybe an old tele, Little Walter (most of the time I think) and a stand up bass (sometimes Willy Dixon) IMO that's the best collection to hear PURE Muddy. I think it's the first Muddy record I ever bought - in vinyl back in '66 or '67, and still my favorite.

[@BLAQANAL]

this band is like the punk version of the blues, awesome...rawness

[@MuddyBoy61]

He was the greatest man alive, the great Muddy Waters!

[@Mixfeen]

I must admit..im a new fan since "Cadillac Records". Amazing stuff!!

[@poorsaintlazarus]

this guy is freakin amazing, i love muddy waters!

[@mrstanbmw]

This is the Blues, of the Gutbucket variety. this is Raw

[@WerewolfSlayer91]

Human nature: -Fight whats diffrent & agenst you -fight whats not fighting for the same thing you are fighting for. Music is about the only language that brakes that barrier.(for most people) Without anything that unifies us we will never work as one. End of story. True story. Let blues be one of the keys to "enlighten" us all about unity :-P Yet so pointless, but yet so true. Enjoy the Blues my fellow Hümans. may the wind take you to the place where ever it go'es. Peace!

[@daviemcf]

Muddy's the best!!! thanks luvthebluesgirl!

[@coravisser727]

Indeed the master of the blues,whe have had a lot and a lot of legendes i have a lot of respect for the blues ,certainly like this way. I am proud of them and for ever in my heart.

[@TeddyLeppard]

Fantastic footage.

[@Misterbreeze1]

@ssurfcity He gave my class a concert for our graduation present. We were the first graduating class from our high school '78 and he lived in our town, two blocks from our house. Very GOOD man.

[@JilaX]

You just have to listen to his real good stuff. If you're more of a Country Blues guy, listen to "Country Blues" if you can find it. The first Muddy Waters song ever recorded.

[@Barrelhousekjell]

Great recording. One of the best I've ever heard. The dude on the video forgot to mention Otis Spann, one of the best bluespiano players.

[@williebrown01]

Muddy... this is the best.... voice and slide.... harp wailing.... great rythem by Jimmy.... watched it ten times in a row

I'm glad, you have a great respect, for the blues! It's an expression, regardless of your racial background, location or status it doesn't matter. As long as you can feel it, and with Muddy Waters you found it! Good Luck

What a band, he knows how to sing the Blues
