Summary: not the best, but still very cool
Review: Elsewhere this DVD was ripped and given just 1 star. I will admit that it isn't the best Muddy Waters DVD... the musicians (most of them) appear to be locals and all that. But still.. its MUDDY WATERS, and he was always fun to watch.

Summary: Pretty Cool
Review: Muddy is the MASTER, and it is worth the money just to see the look on his face when the amazing Johnny Winter comes on stage to save him from the horrible pick-up band he has behind him.

Summary: Not at his best
Review: Muddy Waters has earned his status as a blues legend. BUT, this concert was poorly performed. At times, it looked as though the band didn't even want to be there, and they periodically became out of sinc and out of tune. Muddy did not put his all into his music, which was dissappointing because the whole point of the blues is to FEEL the music. Winter's appearance spiced it up a bit. It is worth having if you are a Muddy fan, Winters fan, or blues collector. For that reason alone, I give it a three. And, as the previous reviewer stated, it's a good thing his Chicago Blues Festival performance was recored at all. SONGS INCLUDE: Mannish Boy/ Oh Baby You Don't Have To Go/ Baby Please Don't Go/ I'm A King Bee/ Trouble No More/ They Call Me Muddy Waters/ Walking Thru the Park/ Going Down Slow/ She's Nineteen Years Old (in black and white)/ Love Her With Feeling/ Have You Ever Been Mistreated/ Mojo Working

Summary: Weak production values make this video for big fans only
Review: The DVD PCM soundtrack had some crackles in it (for a few seconds in one spot) which weren't from the original tape. Might have been just a bad copy, I don't know. I don't have the ability to listen to the DD soundtrack, and hopefully it was done better. It was not Muddy's best performance, but had some good moments, especially after Johnny Winter came on stage. Really bad camera work, but you must consider the vintage. Colors were good, and definition probably as good as can be expected considering the age. We're lucky to have it on film at all. It was good of Pioneer to include footage which is in black and white. I assume some color footage is lost, and considering that the DVD is not as long as the time on the package indicates, I'm very glad it was included. Pioneer should have done a better job on the PCM soundtrack by reducing the tape noise and improving the equalization. The PCM soundtrack is fair at best. I'm hoping a better video, more fitting for the great Muddy is issued in the future, but if you're a big fan, you'll want this one, but it should have been budget priced.

Review: This is of historical interest only. The video quality is extremely poor (actually goes to black and white for a song or two) and the sound quality is equally poor. Pass on this unless you have to have the historical documentation
