Muddy is the real king!

This dvd has three concerts over a period of time and one can see the difference.
The first one from 1960 shows the band at its hottest with a raw version of Tiger in your tank. There is some great playing by Muddy and James Cotton and the jam featuring all kinds of people including the great blues shouter Jimmy Rushing makes this a great concert.

The second concert from 1968 was more polished. The 1960 concert could be seen as just another great working blues band belting it out. This concert was a bit more refined. Well rehearsed but not as gritty.

The third concert from 1977 shows Muddy showing his age. He looks at his watch and messes up the time, but still delivers a good performance.

In many ways Muddy never received his due. He is the real inventor of Rhythm and Blues---the use of an electric guitar with a rhythm section-- but was always treated as just another blues performer. Most of the next generation of blues players apprenticed in his bands.

Here we see him live, performing some of the same tunes over the years and we see why he was great.

Recommended to all blues lovers.

One of the best blues DVDs

This DVD (by Reelin' In The Years Productions) would be worth the cost even if it were just of the Newport festival. As it is, there are three separate classic concerts on the DVD (Newport in 60, Copenhagen in 68 and Norway in 77). The album (and CD) of Muddy at Newport has always been a favorite of mine, and to see it live is amazing. What can I say, it is Muddy with one his all time classic bands including Otis Spann and James Cotton. This is what they sounded like playing in the Chicago clubs. The editing, which includes cutting between the band and the audience reaction, is excellent. This concert took place in July 1960 and it represents one of the first exposures of black blues to white audiences in the US. As a musician,it is interesting to see Muddy and band using classic Gibson and Fender equipment; guitars and amps which are now considered classic vintage equipment and cost thousands of dollars. These guys played blues the way it should be played, with passion and harmony - not mindless noise and soloing. Any beginning blues musician (or rocker) should buy this DVD to see some classic examples. One highlite of show is watching Muddy do a little dance with Cotton. The second and third concerts were shot in Europe and you can see the integration of Muddy's band with Paul Oscher and Jerry Portnoy on harmonica and Bob Margolin on guitar. Margolin is still keeping the Muddy tradition alive today by his excellent work with the Muddy Waters tribute band (which includes some of Muddy's old sidemen). The European concerts occured in 68 and 77 and watching Muddy age adds poignancy to the DVD. There are bonus sections of interviews with Muddy which give a rare glimpse into the man himself and the liner notes (actually a booklet) by Bob Margolin (who is also a writer for the magazine Blues Revue) adds very interesting historical and musical insights. Any music fan must add this DVD to their collection and it is a must have for every blues fan. I would rate this DVD in the same category as my other favorites, namely Freddie King's The Beat and The American Folk Blues Festival DVD's, which were also produced by Reelin' In The Years.

Muddy Waters alte Konzerte in toller Qualität. Das DVD Menü ist hübsch aufgemacht und das nette Booklet mit Kommentaren von unter anderem Bill Wymann ist eine nette dreingabe. Der Ton ist für eine Aufnahme diesen alters wirklich toll gelungen und auch das Bild (hier vor allem aber bei den neueren Konzerten) ist für sein alter auch wirklich Okay. Man bedenke, das New Port Jazz Festival war 1960, also knappe 50 Jahre her! Die Songauswahl ist klasse, widerholt sich aber natürlich bei den Konzerten und somit eben auch auf der DVD. Das ist aber halb so wild, denn so kann man auch schön miterleben, wie anders sich einige Songs in den Jahren anhören.
Alles in allem eine tolle DVD, die ich jedem Bluesfan wirklich empfehlen möchte.

I have listened to and loved blues music since I was 5 years old, catching Elvis do Arthur Crudup's That's Alright, Mama on TV (I am now 60). There is just something so powerfully insinuating about the twelve-bar blues that grabbed me way back then and hasn't let go. To me, Muddy was, is, and will always be, the true King of the Blues (not to take anything away from B.B, Albert, or Freddy--I love them all too!). That rough and gritty amplified Chicago blues sound, driven by harp, slide guitar, piano, bass and drums, was pioneered by Muddy and his illustrious bandmates. This DVD is especially compelling because it shows us a fine cross-section of Muddy's band as it evolved over a period of close to twenty years. Not to say that Muddy ever strayed too far from what he did best over the course of his career. He stuck pretty close to the basic Chicago blues formula. But that Voice, that Guitar, that Sound.....he was the first, the best, the last. A true legend of the blues. Virtually everyone else who's tried to sing "Mannish Boy"...."Long Distance Call"....."Honey Bee"....."Blow Wind Blow" or "Nine Below Zero" has paled in comparison.
With this DVD, you get the images with the sound. What could be better?
