Mannish Boy is not only my favorite Muddy Waters song, but one of my favorite songs of all time.

[@JamesWilson-vr3ql]

It's 12 bar blues. There's like a framework that you hang the improv on, so, yeah, freestyle kinda. Little bit of his own version, just a taste of Nugent. Muddy and his boys are having fun, putting the Glimmer twins and Ronnie Wood on the spot. An outfit like Muddy's, B.B. King, Albert Collins, Albert King can jam a song and vamp a riff all day if they choose. Players can come in and go out, the band never loses a beat.

[@chrisnewton5126]

Muddy Waters is/was a national treasure. The man has 4 songs in the R&R HOF top 500. He has his own US Postage Stamp. He was one of our top bluesmen. great choice RRT, thanks.

[@vernonallen3370]

Jagger still does all those moves and shit with the same energy all through a two hour concert even now in his 70's. He is a phenomenon!

[@cyndijones1534]

#OldWhiteLady from South Alabama here again! Whatzzzz up? If u liked that try Robert Cray Band "smoking gun"😜✌❣❤❣

[@darrenjones5885]

The Stones ended up following their own path, but when they began they wanted to be a blues band playing music like their American heroes. White America listened to the music of black America when it was played to them by white English musicians. Sad when they could have listened to the originals much earlier. But they got there in the end. What can we learn from this? Blues is for anyone who likes it. Rock is for anyone who likes it. Hip hop is for anyone who likes it.

[@VIDSTORAGE]

Whites in the southern states were listening to it in the older days primarily but the rest of the US got it when the Brits put their spin on it..

[@xenophon343]

I was lucky enough to see Muddy Waters live when he opened for Eric Clapton in the 80's. Great show!

[@veannegilchrist9925]

Xenophon I’m totally jealous!

[@SuperDancingdevil]

I'm enjoying your reactions to the various songs ,And I like it when a young guy like you takes an interest in broadening his mind musically, I'm an old guy now and it does me good to know that young guys like yourself take an interest in music like this, I'd love to sit down with you have some beers and go though music together and hopefully pass on some knowledge or at least a few tales, This video was great as not only was it unplanned but it was a meeting of two generations of musicians who love the Blues and yes Mick Jagger was probably neverous to begin with being on stage with a blues Legend and not wanting to mess up the man's set, Keith knew that song by heart he too loves the Blues and plays it in his own style, Before this was filmed they'd already literally sat at the feet of the late great BB King and jammed and learnt from him and the stones in general were very much respected in the Blues community from then on, It was a great choice of video and I'm glad you enjoyed it, Rock on and always keep eager to learn.

Yes totally my favourite 🤙🏼

[@daviddutcher7212]

Muddy Waters was good, but Howling Wolf was better,. Truth be told, I thought Big Joe William's original version of this song was better. MW's best songs were Mannish Boy, Rolling Stone, and Hoochie Coochie Man.'

[@johndeeregreen4592]

This was 1981 and the Stones were absolutely huge by this time. In those in the music industry, Muddy Waters was huge, but he never had huge commercial success... and that's unfortunate.

[@TheCornishCockney]

thanks to the British bands from that era,the Blues greats finally got the recognition they did not get in their homeland......you're welcome.

[@starburstppl]

RRT, what can I say? Great reaction! You came through again! Muddy Waters and the Rolling Stones.....that was cool AF!! The Rolling Stones named themselves after Muddy's 1950 song "Rollin' Stone" (also known as "Catfish Blues", which was covered by Jimi Hendrix). Rolling Stone magazine took its name from the same song. Muddy Waters' influence was tremendous, not just on blues, and rhythm and blues but on rock and roll, hard rock, folk music, jazz, and country music. His use of amplification is often cited as the link between Delta blues and rock and roll. Two years after his death in 1983, Chicago honored him by designating the one-block section between 900 and 1000 East 43rd Street near his former home on the south side "Honorary Muddy Waters Drive". The Chicago suburb of Westmont, where Muddy lived the last decade of his life, named a section of Cass Avenue near his home "Honorary Muddy Waters Way". Following his death, fellow blues musician B.B. King told Guitar World magazine, "It's going to be years and years before most people realize how greatly he contributed to American music". A Mississippi Blues Trail marker has been placed in Clarksdale, Mississippi, by the Mississippi Blues Commission designating the site of Muddy Waters' cabin. In June 2017, a massive mural in downtown Chicago was dedicated to him. This was dope, and you have the best channel ever! Stay well, and much peace to you and yours!

[@themightyfp]

starburstppl thanks for the info and the kind words as usual ✌️

[@KingOfNebbishes]

Just amazing to see artists that big in a tiny ass club, not even room for a dance floor. This is a decade past Muddy's prime, but you have to love the mad respect shown that the Stones felt they had to show up to see their idol. Also, that wasn't Jay Leno, that was the Stones' touring keyboard player and manager, Ian Stewart.

[@stevenfritchie7529]

As was stated on the beginning card, this was done in 1981, so 2 years before Muddy Waters died. The Stones were in a good space during this time. There is a documentary of Keith Richards where he says they were thrilled to play with Muddy Waters. The second guitarist was Ron Wood who is still with the group. He took over for Mick Taylor who was kicked out for cocaine addiction. Brian Jones, who drowned in 1969, was a founder of the group and was a very versatile musician. Before his death, he produced an album of Moroccan music called "The Pipes of Pan at Djoujouka". I liked Muddy Waters and the harmonica player the most on this song.

[@barberasredhair9720]

what a great film..thanks for posting

[@rodneylonczynski9089]

Us white folks here in the states back then didn't embrace blues from the black community. The British artist absolutely loved it and put their own twist on it, and brought it here to America, and we ate it up. I think Paul Stanley from the rock group Kiss said it best "Hard Rock is the blues on steroids" he was absolutely correct

[@johnr8820]

Paul Stanley don't know nothing about the blues...Kiss had nothing to do with the blues

[@screamingscarecrow4251]

@@johnr8820 Kiss was influence by musicians who was influenced by blues. They was heavily influenced by the Rolling Stones. Ace Frehley was influence by Jimmy Page. But I agree I dont believe Paul Stanley know anything about true blues.

[@johnr8820]

Yeah but they weren't influenced by the source music..it's all about the source.. that's why The Stones and Jimmy Page were so damn good..they knew their shit

[@rodneylonczynski9089]

@@johnr8820 I am no fan of the band Kiss, nor do I believe Kiss was Hard Rock Blues band. His analysis is correct, he was referring to bands like Zeppelin etc... When stating that Hard Rock is blues on steroids. To say he knows nothing about the blues is not for me to say. He has had a very successful career in music!!!

I've never seen this video before thanks for putting it out there I enjoyed the hell out of that.

[@sfbayareagirl]

That was soooo good. I enjoyed watching with you! Rock!

[@sfbayareagirl]

This is one of my favorite live videos. The Stones (named after a Muddy Waters song) were on a one-night break during a gig in Chicago and went to Checkers, Waters’s club. All sitting in the front long table, he brought them on stage one at a time to play w him. We are so fortunate this was captured on video! And I’m glad you love it, too. For another amazing MW performance, check out “Mannish Boy” from The Last Waltz. O. M. Gawd!

[@alfredristan3445]

If you are talking about the guy with the strong chin. That is Ian Stewart. He was with the band since they formed and was basically the Road Crew in the beginning, stayed with band until his death a few years ago. Played great boogie woogie piano. Rumor has it , that he was not asked to join the group due to his not looking hip enough. Seems not to have bothered him as he preferred to stay in the background. Led Zeppelin wrote a song in his honor "Boogie with Stu". Seems to have been a NO B.S. kind of guy.

[@shspurs1342]

Alfred Ristan I thought he was an original member, but then wasn’t. So they kept him on to be the road manager. But he still kept playing at loads of there gigs up to his death.

[@alfredristan3445]

Yes, sort of different stories over the years. He definitely was playing with them in the beginning but I do not think he was ever an official band member and their manager Andrew Loog Oldman (sp) did not want him as part of the group when the made it big.

[@sparkymcplumpthepolydactyl2079]

Alfred Ristan Stu was the ‘Conscience’ of the Stones...they would playback tracks to Stu and we would mutter critiques like, ‘sounds like a couple of 🧚🏻‍♂️fairies 🧜‍♀️playing!’ The Stones would go back and double their efforts to try please him.

[@osnesdaniel]

I haven't heard this version before, thanks for trying to put this up and I'm glad it got through.

[@ianbeddowes5362]

I was born in Britain and now live in South Africa. In the early 1960s we worshipped the great Blues artists who were not appreciated either by white America or even by young black America. Muddy Waters was one of the best, he was the real father of electric blues.

[@sparkymcplumpthepolydactyl2079]

1981 American Tour grossed over 50 million and over 3 million fans saw them perform. The Dec. 5 show in New Orleans held the record for largest indoor concert for 33 years. They released ‘Start Me Up’ in September of 1981. And had 3 or 4 videos in constant rotation on the ‘new’ MTV at the same time. They were HUGE at that time.

[@johnr8820]

Imagine being in a little blues club in Chicago and you're watching Muddy Waters, and the Stones come in and play with him and then later they are joined by other blues legends such as Buddy Guy and Junior Wells...insane. That could never happen today, everyone would be trying to get it on their phones smh.

The Stones were one of the biggest acts on the planet and had been for 15+ years by this time

[@jbass6665]

Keith is simply jammin' over a blues scale. This is a generic 1-4-5 progression. It is easy to improvise something for even average guitarists. The best, like Clapton or Stevie Ray Vaughn, take it to superhuman levels. Keith has never been known for his virtuoso skills. He is, however, one of the greatest song/rhythm guitarists in rock history. On a side note, it is known that there will be just two survivors of the nuclear apocalypse - roaches and Keith Richards. If he ain't dead from all the crap he has put into his system then nothing can kill him.

[@tianthee]

There is a story from decades ago that the United States wouldn't let Keith in if he had drugs in his system... he got (i think in Sweden) a total blood transfusion before entering so he'd pass the tests.

[@teresas8173]

This was awesome!🔥🔥🔥🔥

really honest and chilled reaction, dunno if you’ve seen it but! the mannish boy reaction to that gig is really good and fun. the rolling stones give a good kick to it. and of course such an iconic song too. thanks, good day!

Baby please don't go was originally written and performed by Big Joe Wilson, also from Mississippi, but recorded this song in 1935. The Rolling Stones name is from Bob Dillon's "Like a Rolling Stone". This performance was recorded on Nov. 22nd, 1981.

[@Tamar-sz8ox]

This was such an honor for the Stones to play with Muddy 👍 Trust me when mick jagger , Keith Richards and ronnie wood went up on that stage - “they knew their place” 😂 when they were kids back in England : these gentlemen of the blues were their idols

[@kathleen7849]

Love the Harmonica. You don't hear it enough.

[@michellezewe6148]

Cool beans, RRT! The Stones never really left their blues roots from the 60s. You can play this stuff anytime...Johnny Lee Hooker too. The Stones gave us gritty hard rockin' roll when the Beatles were fluffier. REQUESTS: How about The Pretenders with one of the best rock n' roll women...Chrissie Hynde For more modern blues band, I suggest the Robert Cray Band. Keep 'em coming! Watching you discover music is like when I turned my son on to Mum's music...xxxooo

[@bobot1981]

It's always cool to see guys who were influenced by the blues be able to connect and jam with their blues heros. Check out Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert King playing together. It's on KZbin. I know you'll dig it.

[@O_Towne_Bear]

Keith is a guitar slinger, he is respected in the blues community as well as rock. He gives no fooks and has jammed with some of the legends from both worlds. Muddy Waters and Chuck Berry are his heroes and he has jammed with both. He told a story one time of going out for "a drink" with Muddy and waking up on Willie Dixon's floor.

LEGENDS!! All of them!!

[@TheSRC88]

Muddy was one of the Stones biggest influences (they got their name from Muddys song "Rollin Stone"). This is the only time ive ever seen Mick Jagger nervous to step on the stage with his idol.

[@kitoyobeni1]

The blues did have a bit of a revival in the early 80's (the Blues Brothers movie was 1980) and Muddy is a legend, but the Stones were a stadium band by then (tours were predominantly in football stadiums) due to the demand for tickets. Stones were probably the biggest band in the world throughout the 70's. That guitar interplay you describe is a key part of the Stones' sound. Keith's guitar parts weave in and out with the second guitarist's (in this case, Ronnie Wood who joined in the early/mid 70's and is still in the band). Keith is just the epitome of cool...

[@TheGodfather4200]

12:50 Keith walking on the table to get on stage is epic

[@raulhurtado9709]

cool bro thanks

[@jlmain5777]

They were mega big and had played a show that night in Chicago and swung by afterword to see Muddy. Their name came from a Muddy Water’s song.

[@ZeeStranjelz]

At this point the Stones were legends themselves...Two legends on that stage...

[@mikemclaughlin3306]

Yes they took their name from a song waters did called rolling stone. The "style" is 12 bar blues..... it allows the musicians to free style around the structured melody..... blues is famous for this..... yes he knows the song, but he is also ad libbing

[@Thaum1el]

At this time Stoned were extremely large. They were also very respected even among the blues elders. Stones and some other acts had helped respark the career of many of the older blues legends. Stones gave, for example, Howlin Wolf a new spring and a new audience by bringing him with them on live TV and presenting him as the star. They saw it as paying their dues and I think many of the old legends found a lot of respect in how Stones would use their success to help out their old heroes.

[@donchovanec]

The Rolling Stones' 'Start Me Up' hit #2 in 1981.

[@j_karma]

Man, to have never heard the Rolling Stones... you have a serious adventure in front of you. Keep in mind, they started around the same time the Beatles did in the early sixties, so by the time this video was recorded they had been at the top of the game for nearly 20 years. The Stones were always considered the darker, more dangerous side of rock and the British invasion. While the Beatles were doing love songs early in their career, the Stones were doing social commentaries like "Satisfaction", "Paint it Black", "Mother's Little Helper", and "19th Nervous Breakdown". Their songs are unapologetically about sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll, and their lyrics set them apart. Start with their greatest hits and, if you like them, then go back and listen to some albums all the way through. My personal favorite is "Sympathy for the Devil" -- you may recognize it, because it's THAT iconic. Hope you enjoy them!

[@HansKoschei]

When the Stones came over in the early 60's they visited Chess records and were shocked to see Muddy Waters painting the ceiling and doing other menial tasks like carrying in amps & equipment for other musicians... it wasn't until the British Invasion of British Bands and they started talking about their influences that the youth started paying attention en masse and buying Blues records and reviving the careers of these Masters... essentially the British Bands took an 100% American product repackaged it and sold it back to Americans... my Rolling Stones recommendation is find a live version of "Gimme Shelter" feat. Lisa Fischer on vocals

[@vernonallen3370]

Muddy Waters was indeed an idol to Jagger and the Stones and they would've met him and jammed before but they would still have been in awe of him no matter how big they were. The Stones have always been a mega live draw even if their record success had waned by the early 80's they could sell out massive tours.

[@djclabbe88]

Mick was surely nervous being on stage with an idol to him, but on stage Mick has no fear. He is the original rock-n-roll band front man.
