Muddy Waters: In Concert - 1971

Rating:
Summary: In Concert 1971
Review: This is probably the best muddy waters DVD on the market today. (4 oct. 2004).

The DVD starts with a interview in the back of a car where Muddy tells something about his life in the Mississippi Delta.

Then Muddy Waters (56 years old at the time) plays in some kind of theater with a full size blues band. The sound quality is excellent. Way better then all the other muddy waters dvd's available (muddy waters rare perfomances 1968-1978, live at the chicago blues festival etc.)

This DVD even features 4 bonus tracks. Muddy Waters at the 1960 newport jazz festival!! The legendary perfomances of Got my mojo working, Tiger in your tank, hoochie coochie man and ....rollin' stone. When I read the back cover of the dvd I thought that was some kind of mistake. On the newport album rollin' stone is not included. But it's here and with amazing sound quality for a live outdoor 1960 recording.

If you've seen the documentary I can't be Satisfied;
when the documentary starts you'll see muddy performing long distance call. That's taken from the 1971 concert.
