1978 Eric Clapton & Muddy Waters came to play in TULSA at the "Civic Center." I was 17 and didn't know who Muddy was & why he was singin a Led Zepplin song but, I said to myself... Man that old dude sure can play!" It was only later that found the joy of listening to and playing the blues guitar that I can truely appreciate that one day in '78 for 4 hours I saw one of the greatest blues artist of all time.
The music they played back in the day was fuckin great I play guitar when i was in the middle of tryin to survive I met some bad ass guitar players maybe I'm missing shit but I don't see it seemed to me people had more class more respect for each other ive sit down and played with cool guitar playing motherfucker from san Fransisco to Memphis new Orleans love the guitar if you try hard enough and your in tune you can hear God talking to ya muddy had class
Nobody had more blues than, Muddy (KcKinley Morganfield) Waters. That's the truth and that's just the way it is and there's no question about it! So there it is DADGUMMIT!
Clapton is the kind of person who carries on the work of Muddy I'm sure Clapton felt it a great privilege and honour to be up there with one of the all time blues greats
Guys: don't be too serious about it. Blues is an evolving art form and has been ever since. All learning is done by copying the teacher before creating something of your own around it. If the great masters had someone they learned it from. At least in part. No one was just "born" to it. And by all means: the greatest gift to an artist or teacher is, that the lessons they taught will live in the students forever.
"The first guitarist I was aware of was Muddy Waters. I heard one of his old records when I was a little boy and it scared me to death, because I heard all of those sounds. Wow, what is that all about? " -Jimi Hendrix
the absolute, down right, whithout a doubt the greatest blues man of all time. In 1976 Muddy came to a club in Baton Rouge. I sat about 10 ft. or closer to him while he sat and played all his songs for bout an hour and a half. Iv'e never been so blown away in my life. They'll never be another like him.
when muddy opened for eric around '76 they came out together at the end....eric said muddy had legally adopted him thru an attorney.....i was standing there...herad it myself from their mouthes....eric loved muddy...there was nothing but true love there....read eric's intro to muddy's biography...the are as one in spirit in my mind
@@joyful4487 i was there muddy opened then came back out with eric thats wen eric announced it to the crowd ..he has very powerful attorneys /same as princess di....he got bobby whitlocks royaltys and ownership of dereck and the dominos songs restored and bought back at the 50th anniversary meeting saw that in an interview on youtube and when he said it to the crowd.. i believed him google says the tour was ;79 you had to have been there
The first time I heard this song I was a young child. The blues have shaped my guitar style throughout my life. It all started with people like Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson who I learned of from people like Eric Clapton and Keith Richards. Blues is in my blood. Something in my DNA was activated when I heard the blues for the first time and I was forever changed
This is REAL music by a REAL master!!! Muddy is one of my all-time heroes!!! I ALWAYS feel a part of him in me whenever I play "Hoochie Coochie Man" and "Mannish Boy" on my Stratocaster!!!
You might want to check out and purchase PBS American Masters Series "Muddy Waters: Can't Be Satisfied" put out in 2003. There are a number of good biographies too, including the one I read, "Muddy Waters: The Mojo Man" by Sandra Toose published in 1996.
@BLUESMANRONCHICAGO Buterfields first album, I played that sucker to death, got another copy and now I have it on CD and still play it. Sam Lay sang "Mojo" on that album.
@cedricleecason Saw Jerry play a small club here in Austin about almost 20 years ago and it was a harp players summit, Austin hyas a lot of really fine harp players and everyone from Kim Wilson of the T Birds to just a kid learning the instrument came to see the great Jerry Portnoy. Not much jealousy as there was admiration.
Key to the Blues is this, and I think Willie Dixon said it, "It's better to play your bad version of the blues then play someone else's song perfectly."
Well I started doing my Kick the Bucket list last summer and it included doing a blues CD of Muddy songs and Little Walter, stuff i lke and have been doing for 40 years, but I dont know now if i should efven mess with it. It took a lot of hard stuff to decide it was time, but hollywood just screws things up they way they think it would be a better story. fact, hollywood would never do it for the artists when they were alive F____Hollywood and the Music Biz
@kd5smf : Very well stated "my Okie brother", keep on playin and enjoying...I'm glad you had that experience in 1978, I was 27...thanks for the story. "CDB"
@MaabudZ I LOVE THE ALBUM, "THE RESURRECTION OF PIGBOY CRABSHAW" I SING AND PLAY SEVERAL TUNES FORM THA ALBUM, "ONE MORE HEARTACHE" AND "DOUBLE TROUBLE", THE OLD OTIS RUSH TUNE. ALSO ENJOYED EAST WEST, STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL CASSETTE TAPE OF THAT ALBUM, AND MY FAVE SONG IS "I GOTTA MIND TO GIVE UP LIVING"
i was lucky enough to see Muddy at DAR Constition hall in 1977, i think. It was tour with Johnny Winter & James Cotton were with him, you know Steady Rollin' Bob Margolin was too.... It was at the time of the Hard Again album. who knows why Muddy called the album Hard Again? I know... a bit of trivia....
Muddy Waters, and Eric Clapton; BETTER-UN'-FRESH-RUBARB-PIE"/and GRAMS, PEACH COBLER! THOSE TWO KNEW WHAT TIME IT IS/WAS/& WILL-BE/MUSIC CAN CROSS CHASMS!!
Summer '79, I saw Muddy open for Clapton in Seattle. Muddy had the crowd hoppin'. Clapton seemed a bit tired that night and the audience lost some of their enthusiasm. Muddy joined Eric for the last couple of songs and the place went wild. The concert definitely ended on the upswing.
Black people created this type of music along jazz, r&b, soul, funk, hip hop etc because in the past we were always looking for something new and better than what we already had, something that more accurately reflected life as it was at a certain time and place. Black people don't have a 'good ole days' so in general we aren't very nostalgic and most Black people no longer live the lifestyle that gave rise to the blues. Most are looking for the next thing rather than the old thing.
I agree, but they shouldn't forget their musical heritage too & that's what's happening. Majority of blacks don't care about this amazing music anymore
Title is misleading. Video shows footage of Eric Clapton greeting MW spliced around a completely different video of a MW performance that EC wasn't part of. Hoax
Also, even though you believe everyone you mentioned is better than Clapton, all of the artists are different in their own way and have their own signature sound so you can't really compare one to another.
@TheMarexz GOT MY MOJO WORKING, ALSO COVERED BY PAUL BUTTERFIELD ON HIS FIRST ALBUM, I AGREE WITH ETHONADON10, THERE IS NO COLOR OTHER THAN BLUE WHEN IT COMES TO THIS MUSIC, I KNOW THAT FIRST HAND AFTER HAVING PLAYED THE BLUES FOR OVER 40 YEARS. I HAVE A BLACK DRUMMER, MEXICAN BASS PLAYER, AND MY SELF AND GUITAR PLAYER ARE WHITE, BUT ON STAGE WE ARE ALL THE SAME, MUSICIANS WHO ARE KEEPING THE BLUES ALIVE
you have a point about him not doing much the last 5-10 years or so. You are wrong about Clapton sucking for one major reason. The older blues players are great don't get me wrong but, Clapton is a much more versatile guitar player. He doesn't just play blues. He plays everything. He knows how to read and write music using notation instead of just ear and/or tablature.
It is hard to watch a movie about a time you lived through even though I was just a young boy at the age of five, when my mother siad stop listening to all that jive...............
there aint no absolut truth to anything what comes to art or"inner gift" .true master is a real talent from a first work to last.they had that"touch" like Chopin,Picasso,Elvis.Marley,Nicholson,VGogh etc.asocial,hermit and breaking the rules is big part of their characters and if i´d be trained i´d be FAR from an original,way i wanted to be;Cezanne.Eric is Great british musician but not God
i think i started listening music 1968,and i understand that blues is the REAL thing and born by natural way not import or born through ambassadors.blues is born and nourished by minority and sadness, precious things.Eric is a mimic who play what are done years before his time.

Those long-dead mississippi delta blues players :) Robert Johnson and Muddy; Rest in Peace :)

the only man that should EVER do this song..he was the best

-Jimi Hendrix
I went to see Muddy Waters at Slough in the 70's, does anybody else remember him playing there?
I could listen to muddy waters or albert king all day and it would be heaven.
this man is the resaon i play the blues.........everytime i sing this song, i pay tribute to him
the absolute, down right, whithout a doubt the greatest blues man of all time. In 1976

The King of the Southside Chicago Blues.

kinkster68

The memories! I saw Muddy Waters warm up for Eric Clapton in 1079. What a show THAT was!
One of the main voices of the Blues, if not thè voice of the Blues. Fantastic footage!
The first time I heard this song I was a young child.
The blues have shaped my guitar style throughout my life.
It all started with people like Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson who I learned of from people like Eric Clapton and Keith Richards.
Blues is in my blood. Something in my DNA was activated when I heard the blues for the first time
and I was forever changed
eric clapton is an awesome guitarist. He's been around since the sixties. look him up. HE'S AWESOME!!!!!!
You guys HAVE to see cadillac records, tells an AMAZING story of how Muddy's career started and the first label he and the Stones were signed to
Muddy waters always reminds me of a king
This is REAL music by a REAL master!!! Muddy is one of my all-time heroes!!! I ALWAYS feel a part of him in me whenever I play "Hoochie Coochie Man" and "Mannish Boy" on my Stratocaster!!!

I saw this same tour, in Richmond, Va. It is great Clapton, Stones and others gave Muddy the respect he deserves.

@Zenabirg
The great Jerry Portnoy on harp
that just made my day
Both great giants. Could had been better to hear Muddy play as well.. The king of slide guitar. May his soul RIP..
i misd him in 1982
You are very correct. No comparison with, when The Great Little Walter was on Harmonica, none at all.
yeah
Listen to his older stuff. You may say th esound is wat every one else does but he invented that sound
Class A material this
Hell yeah
Also, even though you believe everyone you mentioned is better than Clapton, all of the artists are different in their own way and have their own signature sound so you can't really compare one to another.
GODS!!!!
YEAH!!!!!!!!!
mo jo workin have lots of fun man
Taką muzykę tworzą mistrzowie.
