  • L A Jonny Thursday, May 24, 2012 1:40 pm Thanks to the guy who ID'd Paul Oscher on the harp. One of the most fun and best harp players still around. Wish he would play on the West Coast more often. Never miss him when he is here!!! Never saw Muddy. One regret.....
  • gtrfreek Thursday, May 24, 2012 11:22 am Rhythmic, soulful, melodic, dynamic.....beautiful. Captured lightnin' in a bottle on this one.
  • Davimo Wednesday, May 23, 2012 9:13 am How would you like to say that Muddy Waters is your Godfather.
  • GREENMEAN Wednesday, May 23, 2012 6:30 am It's good hearing talking about sneaking up on his friend the great Aaron T bone Walker, and seeing his friend BB king in Milwaukee.
  • tipkool Wednesday, May 23, 2012 5:56 am The Ash Grove was a great little club to see a performance, this same year I got to see John lee hooker along with cann heat ,what a show ,some good memories
  • nystan Wednesday, February 15, 2012 3:59 am Is this for sale? This belongs in the SMITHSONIAN....I worked for Muddy, briefly, in 71. This band didn't even need to sound check....they could just plug in and play and they always sounded perfect, all building around Muddy's voice and guitar...the natural sounds of the drums and piano. Pure magic.

  • kevvyboy Saturday, February 11, 2012 5:08 am This is what makes Wolfgang's Vault so awesome. These classic performances in high quality. This one gives me shivers.
  • HeavySoulBrutha Monday, November 28, 2011 2:25 pm AWESOME!!!
  • gtrfreek Monday, November 28, 2011 11:08 am Audio, video and performance all stellar. Outstanding.
  • James Nehemiah Thursday, November 24, 2011 8:04 am Terrific video from the Ashgrove. Was there a more important "bridge" than Muddy Waters? From delta blues to British rock & roll....from Son House and Robert Johnson to the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and everything after.

  • Mralbums Wednesday, August 17, 2011 11:24 pm Saw Muddy Waters in 1977 at ChicagoFest...had first row. Great show!
  • westcoastpaeb Saturday, August 06, 2011 11:04 am Great stuff.. The last track #16 closing credits/interview is missing, instead it's a repeat of track #9 band introductions

  • elwood66 Saturday, July 30, 2011 4:54 pm Exactly, that's way to do it (and should be done from now on also).
  • Anonymous Wednesday, July 27, 2011 2:00 pm There's more to blues than "lead guitar"...these guys are playin' the REAL stuff, the rhythm section is spectacular. Everybody in Muddy's band plays it just right, you can HEAR the piano player no problem..'cause the band comes down and lets him come through. This is the real stuff.
  • steve3752 Wednesday, July 27, 2011 1:49 pm I saw Muddy on a Sunday evening around this time at the Coral Gables in East Lansing. There were only about 50 people there which was a shame. He was great and I will never forget seeing him. Muddy is #1 in blues in my opinion. Around same time Howlin Wolf would come to Ann Arbor a lot. Loved the band building him up before he came out. These guys will never be replaced.
  • poblues Wednesday, July 27, 2011 11:04 am otis spann left muddys band in fall of 69 and died soon after
  • jakepardee Wednesday, July 27, 2011 7:16 am Hard to believe it's 40 years ago. Like the interview, too.
  • Anonymous Monday, July 25, 2011 8:23 pm indeed, muddy's guitar players are quite reserved. the pianists generally take the virtuoso spot... pinetop in this case, and otis spann some decades back.
  • Billiam Thursday, July 21, 2011 10:23 am Paul Oscher on harp. I note how Muddy never wanted any flashy guitar in his groups. Even when Bloomfield played with him, Mike toned it down a bit in deference to the way Muddy liked it.
  • DCGene Tuesday, July 12, 2011 1:28 pm Still the best Bluesman there was!
  • JoeMystery Monday, July 11, 2011 7:23 pm Just an awesome blues giant. The real deal.
  • Deadmort Monday, June 20, 2011 6:46 am I was at The Hordern too. It was 1973. Still have the programme.
  • Anonymous Saturday, May 21, 2011 3:37 pm It doesnt get any better than this, I saw him at The Horden, Sydney, in the 70's, a magic night
