Got My Mojo Working - Muddy Waters | The Midnight Special

[@37BopCity]

Totally awesome. I saw Muddy and his band live at the old Colonial Tavern in Toronto in 1973. The harp player at that time was Jerry Portnoy, but Hollywood Fats was on guitar. I saw right up in front of the stage, just feet away from Muddy, and it was the greatest show I have ever been to in my life. I cannot say enough about how much I love and admire that great man for everything he did in his lifetime.

[@GerardFrenchy59]

I was lucky enough to see him 1977 in Germany! He opened for Eric Clapton and stole the show 😊🇫🇷🎶

Got my mojo working, but it just won't work on you. Yeah I think we have all experienced it King of the twelve bar blues Muddy Waters

[@StephanieJeanne]

That was awesome!! His mojo was workin' alright! I love those moves he did! Excellent harmonica playing, too! 😎💜

[@mobucks555]

heeeheee what a legend they wrote byooks and made myovies about this guy!

[@michael0.770]

I got to see Muddy Waters when I was fortunate to go to college. I was not a blues fan, but that night changed my mind and perspective. He and his band was fantastic.

[@ShinyAnvil]

At a 144-148bpm paste this sounds as a true boogie-woogie. Muddy stirred up the Waters really nicely in this one. The gang is on a real mountain rafting adventure trip.😎

[@Joey-sd2uq]

The ammo belt of harmonicas is the coolest!😊

[@charlesking5328]

Bandolier full of Blues ! That was awesome !

[@KittyGrizGriz]

The Big Muddy! This is the 1st time I’ve seen his “moves”, love this!

[@dwaynewladyka577]

A blues music icon. Such a great song. May Muddy Waters rest in peace. Cheers! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️

[@shaunsutton699]

Awesome.

[@tavomcdouglas]

Damn that was good!

[@love_pets1363]

This is the beat Elvis has in his late shows, the same.

[@brianbrazil4426]

Where do you think he got it from Muddy Waters was doing this long before Elvis.

[@regorajczi]

I listen to this every morning to spike myself up. Legendary set.

[@dinacarr2734]

Muddy got all the mojo workin' here. Excellent moves and vocals. I remember being a kid and wondering what is a mojo and how do you get one??

[@gerardgarbutt607]

It's an African-American magic charm. One of the most powerful is a mojo hand. I.e. a dead man's hand.

[@RnR-Rebel]

@@gerardgarbutt607- a mojo hand is actually more like a gris-gris bag w/ stuff in it; could also refer to lucky hand root which is used to bring good luck. What you’re thinking of is a “hand of glory” which is a dead persons hand, usually a thief or criminal of some sort used for various purposes both benign & malignant. Hope that helps! 😊

[@ernestoclaudodip9671]

I JUST LOVE IT!!!!

[@jr13227]

Is that Willie Big Eyes Smith on drums?

[@drtremolo1]

yup

[@Frank.E.Valley]

That harmonica bandolier is something.. and shout out to the Mahershala Ali lookalike on the drums.

[@recordguy4321]

that's Muddy's long time drummer Willie "Big Eyes" Smith

[@davidnorden1972]

Love the bandolier of harmonicas!

[@emancebo13]

[@tarquela]

Awesome! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@scottsoucy6186]

I know one of the guitarists is Steady Rollin' Bob Margolin. Is that Hollywood Fats on 2nd guitar?

[@drtremolo1]

yup

[@suemiller2195]

A great Dylan song. Rita and Kris were pure magic. Happy Times for them and this octogenarian.. RIP Kris.

[@hooligan_56labelle22]

Love doing this tune at karaoke

[@zoobluez]

TY. Great blues

[@davidsexton417]

Absolutely great music. Love it

[@leestamm3187]

If you like this, try his "Electric Mud" album.

[@danerickson1632]

The Black Brothers definitely created the Blues no doubt. 😊

[@PonziZombieKiller]

Dats rite 👍

[@BC99]

The realest of the real.

[@texasfreedomlover4730]

Now a beaten up piece of music gear isn’t poorly maintained, it has mojo 😂

[@vjdrive1230]

Family guy brought me to Muddy and im sooo glad❤

[@conrabbit]

Why this reminding me of Cadillac Records scenes 🎶

[@MaxTovstyiMusic]

hell yes!

[@caprise-music6722]

Love the harmonica ammo belt

[@DidYouReadEULA]

Hell yeah!! A little help please, anyone know who that great drummer is?

[@stillstanding8286]

I’m pretty sure that’s Willie Lee “Big Eyes” Smith on the drums.

[@unameit0000]

Can someone spend a second here pls: I love music of all kinds and im not a specialist. Im about to add this song to my 'Blues' playlist but, for me, blues have a deeper/lower tone (ie Sony Boy Williamson) Is not full of life like this song (independently of the lyrics). Is this, or the other example mentioned, a sub genre or something like that?

[@bhbr-xb6po]

1: 00 Worf: "oh right, the mic"

[@bitshiftme]

the drummer is sick

[@DRLEWIS]

who's on harmonica?

[@clawhammerchris]

Remember when Austin Powers lost his mojo?

[@davejunior769]

Woick

[@chrislowry213]

is that Hollywood Fats on the left?

[@Mauro_B._Vieira.]

Mr. Muddy is always top of the charts.
