I don’t hear this type of music on our local radio stations very often or if at all. What a shame, but I can tell you for a fact, something that happened to me that proved the Blues is doing just fine. One night I got lost in Mississippi.A long story short. I ended up having a shotgun pointed in my direction. The man had on an old Atlanta Braves cap on, and a worn out pair of overalls on. He probably stood about 6’3”, arms like logs and they weren’t dancing boots he was wearing… He asked me what my business was on his land ! I said “ Well sir, I’m lost, I’ve been trying to find a ride home. Ya see, my car broke down miles up the road, and I headed this way cuz I thought I heard music playing… The man lowered his gun, gives out the biggest deepest sounding laugh I’ve ever heard… He said “Son, Come with me and I’ll help you out” Then he laughed again. It seemed as if it took forever to reach the old shed.. uh, well, i mean their homestead. I got kind of nervous because there was no one else in sight…. It was quiet, and that Smokey sounding music I had heard stopped… That’s when he looked at me, turned his head toward a pavilion about 50 yards from his home. With that same grin on his face he nodded as if to go on up… That’s when I heard a sudden loud laughter and the music started again. The same type of music I’ve loved to this day… I sat down next to some of the most talented back-woods Bluesman left on this planet… Music and as much food as I could eat… They played, told stories and laughed until the fire embers were barely smoldering… I will never forget that night! The next thing I remember is my Mom shaking my shoulder, telling me to get up for school… Best dream I’ve ever had in my life…. - True Story
Last night I didn't finish your whole story. I assumed it was Muddy Waters and I thought it was great story! After finishing the rest of your story it's got to be one of the most uplifting things I read in a long time!Thanks and dream on. Rob
Nobody I have ever heard in my 66 yrs of life equals Johnny Winters!!! He is so unbelievably fast, soulful, creative, sings blues like there's no tomorrow, his riffs n his guitar leads are sooo full n his tone is different from anyone else's. The minute he starts playing you just know that it's Johnny!!!! His style of electric blues is so unique no one can imitate him!!! I have been a devotee of Johnny Winters since 1970, STILL to this day listen to his albums, especially " Saints 'n Sinners" and " Still Alive and Well", and which are my all time favourite classic Johnny Winters albums from 1970, 1971. He is the BEST electric blues master that I have ever heard bar none, n his voice is so rich n rough n melodious, you know he has lived the blues his entire life and his guitar style is one that is incomparable!!! He steps right in to Muddy Waters band and rules it TOTALLY!!!! RIP both Johnny n Muddy, two of the best ever!!!
... what a shame Rory Gallagher so undeservingly littlle known in the States ... check him out ... that man and Johnny Winter are my all time electric blues & bluesrock heroes, each in his own right ...
Yes they did... nowadays,2024, it's that race of chaps we need todayt,to improve our poor sick world...may they all rest in peace,and thanks so much for the joy and happiness they gave us
The best of times . I was there and I spiritually felt the blues throughout my entire body . Chicago had the greatest blues music on Earth . I wish I could go back in time when things were so beautiful and peaceful in Chicago .
Sorry but West Helena Arkansas has the best blues and blues festival on the face of the earth....The annual King Biscuit Blues Festival has been held in West Helena Arkansas for over 55 years now
they 2 types of blues ,if u want to get right down to it . or more ,follow me , they is the Delta blues ,guess where that came from ,.which were mostly acoustic . and earlier in the life . And there was the northern or Chicago blues which is where they plugged in ,,Electric . now they was blus from Detroit , Kansas city , new york ,texas and Atlanta ? that all sounded a lil different and had their distinctive sound . just for the greenhorns out there . just sayin .. that bein said i am now gonna sing . ' Sweet Home Chicago '. . ..
I think it's safe to say many of the great blues musicians from the 40's-60's south headed north to Chicago to try and make it and make money. Then Chicago blues sound is rooted in those early influences of the Delta blues.
@@garylampkin4288 Yup ,without a doubt ,delta was where the blues started .thus layin the roots . im just pontin that theres quite a distinctive differences in delta n chicago blues .
The thing about Muddy Waters and Johnny Winter is, they were authentic. Yes, they were ambitious also, but were sufficiently self-aware to keep their egos on a leash and respect the music. And for those who think blues is easy -- just three chords -- nothing could be further from the truth. The apparent simplicity of blues is an intelligence test in improvisation among its finest musicians. Johnny, who some idiots think did nor have the right to play blues because he was white, produced three Grammy-winning albums for Muddy Waters, establishing that man's greatness for all time. Not convinced? Listen to an early recording of BB King's "The Thrill Is Gone," a classic in both vocal and guitar. King's seemingly simplistic lead on his Gibson guitar are unrivaled in their austere and sad beauty. If you are not emotionally moved by any of the guys mentioned above, well, you might be happier with some other kind of music.
I loved the fact that Johnny never overplayed while sitting in with Muddy Waters. Johnny and had too much respect for him, and the times I've seen them together Johnny seemed to in awe of him!
We were at this show on Navy Pier. My friends were more into the beer and craziness that day than the music...so my C-fest memories are few and far away. But then later that year Muddy, Johny Winter and Eric Clapton did a concert at the old Chicago Stadium (now United Center). We had primo seats as I'm recalling... ground floor-- close and center. Eric and Johny played - solo---with Muddy and his band and then both Johny Winter & Eric came out together for Muddys encore. At the end of the song Muddy is in the middle of EC & JW and puts an arm around each of them and says, "My sons....my son's". Quite a moment to witness all 3 so emotional🥹
Muddy wailing an astonishing and astounding slide solo midway thru here , one of the greatest i’ve ever seen or heard, and kudos to the rest of the crew , all masters of the craft
Millions of tons O thank Us for this priceless musical video of Muddy and Winter jammin 2gether,, Muddys geetar solo on nineteen years old one O my all-time favs , miss Us ,,,😊
Muddy had a unique way of playing the blues and I remember when I saw him at a private party outside of Chapel Hill in the early 80’s. It was pouring rain and everyone was huddled under a picnic shelter. Everyone was wet and dancing for hours to the band’s music!!
There were a few white guys that got IT! And stayed true to the blues: Johnny, SRV, Eric Burden, John Mayall, Peter Green, Kim Simmonds to name a few from my era. Oops, let's not forget Alvin Lee and Jerry Lee Lewis to name a few more 😳Oops, plus Joplin and Clapton, of course...
Wow, glad to see this was taped. I attended Chicagofest that year. I wasn’t there on this day. The day I went we saw Albert King play a set on the blues stage. What a great time. When two teenagers from the suburbs could take a train into Chicago for the day and see some of the greatest blues players.

TIME HEALS ALL WOUNDS" == I didn't mean his music as a trend in the industry. What I meant was his guitar playing skill. In the 70s and 80s, there are many new guitarists came on to the scene and for the most part, blues guitar was the main focus. Johnny Winter had never been one of those most talked about guitarists.

I CAN hear u on that bud .i can remember sitting in grade 10 dreaming , many moons ago , about seeing Johnny WINTER AND George JONES .when i got out of school . well i did , 4 or 5 times each , that makes me happy .
I saw Johnny in Buffalo in the mid 1970’s. He was great. My buddy’s older brother saw him at a local restaurant after the show. They went home with him and jammed in his home studio in the basement until morning.
Before many of the great Texas guitarists, there was Johnny Winter. One of the most underrated influential guitarists who ever played the blues.Every time I hear Stevie Ray Vaughan I can feel Johnny's influence on his playing, and so many others. Great guitarist and with Muddy, a surreal duo of new and old gut wrenching metal blues.
Shit! Learn Your Texas Guitar Killer History -- UA-cam it -- there were guitar killers since the 20s and 30s. Texas is one of the guitar killingest states in the lower 48!
I saw them together 3 times ( Evening Of Blues Tour) , I’ve seen thousands of musical performances, they were magic……( if you love the blues, and if you don’t I feel sorry for you)
@@paulferranti8536I love the Blues,the real stuff if you know what I mean,I can never get my head around people like JW who really only copy a culture and chords
This was the final version of the Muddy Waters Blues Band with the legendary George Mojo Buford, John Primer-guitar, Rick Kreher-guitar, Ernest Johnson-bass, Ray Allison-drums and Lovie Lee-piano. Special guest appearances by Johnny Winter, Big Twist and Mighty Joe Young.
@@MrNordertitoffifBuford wasn’t a patch on Oscher then Oscher wasn’t a patch on Butterfield or Little Walter but they all had there own styles muddy had and will forever have had the greatest harp players- only the best made the list! Period- by the way I Love Paul Oscher he is the epitome of Cool ., I heard he lives in Austin Tx not sure if that’s true or not. Peace
What a pair: Muddy is The Man, the eternal star around which all the musicians revolve, and Johnny is that blazing flash of lightning that illuminates the stage like the northern lights across the Arctic wastes.
Its so good to see Muddy getting the recognition he deserved at the latter part of his career! Every single blues man and rock n roller then and now knows he's the godfather of the Blues. Period. No ifs ands or buts about it. Period. The man was it. Robert Johnson an Son House are close, but never came as close as Muddy did. Muddy was the real deal and took it for all he could and as far as he could. Him an John Lee Hooker are probably the most influential bluesmen of all time. This was long before BB King or Freddy King or Albert King. He'll Jimi Hendrix was playing with Little Richard before Albert King released his first record in 1962. Then Hendrix released his in 66 only 4 years after. A lot of folks don't realize how early Jimi started. That's why he was so amazing. They all are but it really puts it into perspective to know the time lines. Muddy was the first to really do it big. That Delta style blues is just the goods. I love Chicago blues too, but it all started on the plantation. Rest in peace Muddy and Johnny Winter, another blues legend. ✌️🖤🤘
As a Brazilian i fell so lucky that i had a chance to see Muddy Waters back in 1980 at the Roxy in L A . Johnny one of my great idols not just once , saw him 3 times . The last about a year before his death here in Brazil , siting on a chair could hardly walk . Left the concert almost crying . RIP both , was a life pleasure to be able see you two in concert
Дуэт Muddy Waters и Johnny Winter это просто фантастика!!! Я ознакомился с их творчеством, благодаря замечательному ведущему и прекрасному человеку Владимиру Турчинскому, когда он вёл передачу "Последний из магикан" на радиостанции Серебряный дождь в городе Москве. Россия. Джонни Винтера диск купил и подарил мне мой, к сожалению уже ушедший в след за ними, друг Виктор и я наслаждаюсь слушаю их вместе! Это прекрасный дуэт двух гениев и мастеров своего дела!!!

Muddy's guitar solo around 23:00 gave me the chills!! He didn't have long left, but he could still play the blues like ONLY Muddy could. The real damn deal. And I will always respect Johnny Winter for bringing Muddy some well earned fame and respect in his later years.
You are right, this Swarm of Honey Bees Slide Sounds are here and allover his Career a totally underestimated Part of his Genius. Thanks for this Time Tag. Made my Day.
Agree,started listening in the 1970's and my favourite album has to be still alive and well, gets me out of my blues, can't get enough of ,have to pick up the harp,
This is probably one of the best true blues concerts ever recorded By the father of the blues himself muddy mississippi waters Unbelievable Mojo on harp is out of this world Primer is class on guitar too
I saw Muddy open for BB King in 1971. Around 1980 or so I saw him on a double bill with Bobby Blue Bland in a north Tampa nightclub called the Crown Lounge. Such a great memory. Adding the Man from Beaumont to the bill would be rich.
johnny and james cotton ,harp , played with Muddy alot in the last years of muds life ,they did short tours n shows together , they played on Muds last album . its good ,called HARD AGAIN . CHEC IT . 2 BEERS bass on moderately , and a lil volume . good dancin shoes that u can kic off easy n yur good.
I was at this show. The crowd was so nuts it seemed the stands at times were about to collapse. If memory serves me correctly this show is broadcast at times on the local PBS station during their fundraising drives. This is quite possibly the greatest blues concert of all time.
full glory of attendance and to that time for wishing you luck mister Muddy waters feat as proclaim the band in this performance musical song feeding by maestro Johnny Winter lived in year 1981 called Chicago fest Festival, you are really greatest brother since kwon in the name of Peter my best friend one more hottest greatest continue until yourself hit a festure
The 17 people who disliked this a) have no soul, b) have no clue. This is american music at its finest. Its from an era when music was about music, there are few like this left. God rest the souls of Muddy Waters, Hank Williams, Ray Charles, Woody Guthrie, and all the other great musicians that make american music the greatest in the world.
Saw the two of them at the tower theater in philly in the late 70s.Thanks to a stage hand,we got in gratis.What a show,what two great men,Long live their spirits and the Blues. Amen
I was at this concert. That festival went on for 3 days. I couldn't find Black Oak Arkansas they played this night as well. What good times. I can say I lived that night was amazing❤️
Lol blab oak played a little show in the hills ..apple vallley maryland... was a bike party ..with molly hatchett .. any way was out doors and tge band members were just out walking around between sets... i ran into the bass man fro. Black oak and i asked him how long have you been in this band ? .. i think he said ..since 1969... this was 2007 ithink ...

The thing about Muddy Waters and Johnny Winter is, they were authentic. Yes, they were ambitious also, but were sufficiently self-aware to keep their egos on a leash and respect the music. And for those who think blues is easy -- just three chords -- nothing could be further from the truth. The apparent simplicity of blues is an intelligence test in improvisation among its finest musicians. Johnny, who some idiots think did nor have the right to play blues because he was white, produced three Grammy-winning albums for Muddy Waters, establishing that man's greatness for all time. Not convinced? Listen to an early recording of BB King's "The Thrill Is Gone," a classic in both vocal and guitar. King's seemingly simplistic lead on his Gibson guitar are unrivaled in their austere and sad beauty. If you are not emotionally moved by any of the guys mentioned above, well, you might be happier with some other kind of music.
With just the right amount of commercial brakes

Shit! Learn Your Texas Guitar Killer History -- UA-cam it -- there were guitar killers since the 20s and 30s. Texas is one of the guitar killingest states in the lower 48!
I saw them together 3 times ( Evening Of Blues Tour) , I’ve seen thousands of musical performances, they were magic……( if you love the blues, and if you don’t I feel sorry for you)
@@stratowhore9051 names please thanks.
@@stratowhore9051Agree! What a load of nonsense some of these people who think they know it all write!
@@paulferranti8536I love the Blues,the real stuff if you know what I mean,I can never get my head around people like JW who really only copy a culture and chords
This was the final version of the Muddy Waters Blues Band with the legendary George Mojo Buford, John Primer-guitar, Rick Kreher-guitar, Ernest Johnson-bass, Ray Allison-drums and Lovie Lee-piano. Special guest appearances by Johnny Winter, Big Twist and Mighty Joe Young.
thanks for the band lineup, buford is an amazing harp player. muddy worked with the very best players
@@keithmcmanus918 Not a patch on Paul Oscher
That's it.
@@MrNordertitoffifBuford wasn’t a patch on Oscher then Oscher wasn’t a patch on Butterfield or Little Walter but they all had there own styles muddy had and will forever have had the greatest harp players- only the best made the list! Period- by the way I Love Paul Oscher he is the epitome of Cool ., I heard he lives in Austin Tx not sure if that’s true or not. Peace
What a pair: Muddy is The Man, the eternal star around which all the musicians revolve, and Johnny is that blazing flash of lightning that illuminates the stage like the northern lights across the Arctic wastes.
I was at Navy Pier that night. Change my life forever. Been playing the blues ever since.
WHEN YOU WERE A YOUNG BOY THE WORLD WAS YOURS MUDDY
un grand respect pour MUDDY-WATERS ET JOHNNY WINTER LE VRAIE BLUES
Its so good to see Muddy getting the recognition he deserved at the latter part of his career! Every single blues man and rock n roller then and now knows he's the godfather of the Blues. Period. No ifs ands or buts about it. Period. The man was it. Robert Johnson an Son House are close, but never came as close as Muddy did. Muddy was the real deal and took it for all he could and as far as he could. Him an John Lee Hooker are probably the most influential bluesmen of all time. This was long before BB King or Freddy King or Albert King. He'll Jimi Hendrix was playing with Little Richard before Albert King released his first record in 1962. Then Hendrix released his in 66 only 4 years after. A lot of folks don't realize how early Jimi started. That's why he was so amazing. They all are but it really puts it into perspective to know the time lines. Muddy was the first to really do it big. That Delta style blues is just the goods. I love Chicago blues too, but it all started on the plantation. Rest in peace Muddy and Johnny Winter, another blues legend. ✌️🖤🤘
For sure and amen.
Hunter you seem to know something about the blues & it’s history! Keep putting it out there cause lots of people just don’t know!
Two wild fellows singing the blues it dont get no better than that 😅😅😅😅
blues, marijuana and beer
yes it dees beatiful on the night bluees

never truer words said
As a Brazilian i fell so lucky that i had a chance to see Muddy Waters back in 1980 at the Roxy in L A . Johnny one of my great idols not just once , saw him 3 times . The last about a year before his death here in Brazil , siting on a chair could hardly walk . Left the concert almost crying . RIP both , was a life pleasure to be able see you two in concert
Fico feliz por saber que o amigo teve a felicidade de assistir M.W ao vivo.
Fui e sou fan de J. Winter desde 1970 .
@@movsesparseghian7418 Amigo são coisas nesse nível que faz a vida ser boa
@@marcobaino6341 Tinha um cachorro , era um pointer. Assim que peguei, nem um nome em mente tinha
Olhei e chamei de Winter, foi um grande amigo
i got high AF wathcing this. THANKS!!!
Absolutely the best blues artist with a distinctive voice of the era...
Two of the greatest. Blues is life. Some have more to sing and play then others.
the best blues concert ever right here
oh god, the blues still does it! 🤩
My name is Eugene,I saw Muddy with Big Mama in San Rafael CA in 1972.That show changed my life and after that I never missed him when he came to town.
Best blues live ever, God help me, beautiful stuff, powerful.
Дуэт Muddy Waters и Johnny Winter это просто фантастика!!!
Я ознакомился с их творчеством, благодаря замечательному ведущему и прекрасному человеку Владимиру Турчинскому, когда он вёл передачу "Последний из магикан" на радиостанции Серебряный дождь в городе Москве. Россия.
Джонни Винтера диск купил и подарил мне мой, к сожалению уже ушедший в след за ними, друг Виктор и я наслаждаюсь слушаю их вместе!
Это прекрасный дуэт двух гениев и мастеров своего дела!!!
Сейчас тоже есть такие люди, но уже времена уже другие.....
А есть ещё замечательный гитарист Joe Bonamassa!
God... what a duet..... genius both.... I am sure they are playing in heaven... making angels happy
Dude,
Just to set the record straight.
Man can never impress God. Nor the Angels.
EVER!!!!

Sach ich doch und letztens meint noch einer Blues in A Harp in A ....Dilettanten
What I sayed last time, one sayed Blues in A you have to play the Harp in A ...they are amateurs
@@thomaskruger3376😂 WTAF are you talking , amateurs?
Surely you jest?
😢😢f
@@thomaskruger3376 ARE YOU SAYIN'MUDDY WATERS IS AN AMATEUR? YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY NUTS ! THERE IS NOT ONE THING THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT DOESN'T BELONG . BY YOUR CRITERIA, I GUESS MUDDYS BADDEST SLIDE
Muddy's guitar solo around 23:00 gave me the chills!! He didn't have long left, but he could still play the blues like ONLY Muddy could. The real damn deal. And I will always respect Johnny Winter for bringing Muddy some well earned fame and respect in his later years.
Hear, hear!
Totally agree!
A great guitarist, one of the all time great original bluesmen, and so under rated as a great exponent of playing slide guitar.
They brought each other friendship anything after that was just a side note, Nobody brought anyone anything fame or likewise.
You are right, this Swarm of Honey Bees Slide Sounds are here and allover his Career a totally underestimated Part of his Genius. Thanks for this Time Tag. Made my Day.
God bless you all 💓🙏💗🙏💞🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏
Agree,started listening in the 1970's and my favourite album has to be still alive and well, gets me out of my blues, can't get enough of ,have to pick up the harp,
Good music has no age
Johnny in his prime shredding pentatonics!
Wow...I needed that tonight...16/11/2023 1AM
The blues is life
This is probably one of the best true blues concerts ever recorded
By the father of the blues himself muddy mississippi waters
Unbelievable
Mojo on harp is out of this world
Primer is class on guitar too
Loving me some Blues...!!!!!!!! Thanks for Sharing...!!!!
I is listening and loving what I’m hearing!
I love they blues greetings from ,Cali Colombia
Johnny Winter really lifts the show. Great Axeman
one of the best electric blues players that ever walked on this planet .
I saw Muddy open for BB King in 1971. Around 1980 or so I saw him on a double bill with Bobby Blue Bland in a north Tampa nightclub called the Crown Lounge. Such a great memory. Adding the Man from Beaumont to the bill would be rich.
Young cats showing them selfs on guitar in brilliants to recognition..omg ...love Johnny shins on piano classic
Back when Chicago was great!!!
Two legends that can't be replaced or duplicated. What an honor this must have been for BOTH men.
johnny and james cotton ,harp , played with Muddy alot in the last years of muds life ,they did short tours n shows together , they played on Muds last album . its good ,called HARD AGAIN . CHEC IT . 2 BEERS bass on moderately , and a lil volume . good dancin shoes that u can kic off easy n yur good.
@@peterbetts858 I pulled it up. Gonna check it out. First few tracks are beautiful.
I was at this show. The crowd was so nuts it seemed the stands at times were about to collapse. If memory serves me correctly this show is broadcast at times on the local PBS station during their fundraising drives. This is quite possibly the greatest blues concert of all time.
🎸
Mr. Waters first man allowed a harmonica to have a microphone God blessing
full glory of attendance and to that time for wishing you luck mister Muddy waters feat as proclaim the band in this performance musical song feeding by maestro Johnny Winter lived in year 1981 called Chicago fest Festival, you are really greatest brother since kwon in the name of Peter my best friend one more hottest greatest continue until yourself hit a festure
The 17 people who disliked this a) have no soul, b) have no clue. This is american music at its finest. Its from an era when music was about music, there are few like this left. God rest the souls of Muddy Waters, Hank Williams, Ray Charles, Woody Guthrie, and all the other great musicians that make american music the greatest in the world.
There's always someone making a comment like yours 🤣
Terrific!! And those people who “disliked” - i cant imagine not loving this!!
Blues, period. Lucky, to have lived for this.
love ya johnny
Saw the two of them at the tower theater in philly in the late 70s.Thanks to a stage hand,we got in gratis.What a show,what two great men,Long live their spirits and the Blues. Amen
The Tower! Delco got the the Blues!
The conversation went into a dreamscape.
Old Johnny is bringing a smile old Muddy Waters face.
I was at this concert. That festival went on for 3 days. I couldn't find Black Oak Arkansas they played this night as well. What good times. I can say I lived that night was amazing❤️
Lol blab oak played a little show in the hills ..apple vallley maryland... was a bike party ..with molly hatchett .. any way was out doors and tge band members were just out walking around between sets... i ran into the bass man fro. Black oak and i asked him how long have you been in this band ? .. i think he said ..since 1969... this was 2007 ithink ...
Wow, I envy you!
fantastic show. The band is phenomenal in that they truly back Muddy so that his talents are showcased.
2 Legends Sharing the spot light!
