    On 22 November 1981, in the middle of their mammoth American tour, the Rolling Stones arrived in Chicago prior to playing 3 nights at the Rosemont Horizon. store.eagle-rock.com/muddywaters
    Long influenced by the Chicago blues, the band paid a visit to Buddy Guy's club the Checkerboard Lounge to see the legendary bluesman perform. It didn't take long before Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Ian Stewart were joining in on stage and later Buddy Guy and Lefty Dizz also played their part. It was a unique occasion that was fortunately captured on camera.
    Now, restored from the original footage and with sound mixed and mastered by Bob Clearmountain, this amazing blues night is being made available in an official release for the first time.

    I love when Keith climbs over the table, then grabs & leans on the woman serving drinks, almost like she's furniture, then kisses her confirm it was really a hug; she smiles & puts her arm around him, to say, "I know, got the joke; you're family here." Beautiful moment. One of the sweetest interactions you'll ever see on the internet. Muddy Waters beaming with joy like a proud father at Jagger & Richards, exact same dynamic. (I was at the Checkerboard a few times & remember her: so *heimish*.)

      I think I've read everything about Keith Richards...women love him. He seems kind and authentic. Jagger's reviews from women are terrible. I read one Stone's woman's book, (sorry, they blend together). She said her mother threw a joint in the pool when Keith handed it off. So he rolled 2 more. "This one is for me to smoke, and that one is for your mum to throw in the pool..."

    • @dailyflash
      @dailyflash Před 4 lety +1

      I think he brought is own guitar, and so did Ron. Otherwise, Muddy's guitarist would've just handed his off to Keith. The Stones security had to have called the club ahead of time, to arrange for them to get some VIP treatment and seating. It's easy to imagine someone from the Stones camp telling Muddy they'd be there, and him saying have them bring their guitars, if they want to come up and jam. Both guitars were tuned and ready to go. How did they know they wouldn't have to check the tuning ahead of time? A prepared guitar tech?

    • @mauriceanholt5052
      @mauriceanholt5052 Před 3 lety +8

      It takes Mick a while to get up to Muddy, but when Keith and Ronny are called they scamper across the tables, and in a few moments they had their own guitars in hand. The dead giveaway, is the guitar straps are the perfect length for each. As for playing with Muddy's Band, they were set for standard tuning with their guitars, and most of the music would have been in standard tuning. Perhaps Muddy's guitar player might play slide guitar, and he probably would be in an Open G Tuning, or a tuning that is tuned to a chord. Dailyflash, you nailed all the arrangements getting everyone into their seats. The big question is where is the video of the other songs they played. You know they were doing 2 or 3 songs with a couple guys shooting film, went to the trouble of getting Keith and Ronny's guitars on pitch. I didn't see Charlie, but he doesn't like getting out, but Bobby Keys was there, and could have provided saxophone. There must be more film and a couple of other songs.

      Just know, Bill Clinton fucked up the music business. He passed a law where before it used to be maybe 50 different companies that controlled pretty much everything entertainment and other things, and now it's about 5 or 6 componies, like Disney, Viacom, all those big ones. They now control everything we hear, see and read in America. So before we had much more variety, more risk, more thought into what we all thought the world was. Now society has been mushed into one view, with one idea. And this idea is that music must be consumable just like junk food. That's why everything is tge same. It's much harder to find the music that once challenged and was proud of being a part of something, and it's been damn near impossible for musicians to live that way too. So fuck bill clinton, fuck Napster, and fuck the junk food they force us too make.

      The story was that when the Beatles first toured in the US they were asked what they wanted to see. Muddy Waters they replied. Where is that asked the interviewer.
      When the Stones pulled up outside Chess for the first to record they were unloading their equipment A voice asked if they wanted a hand. It was Muddy Waters. Jagger and Brian Jones were awestruck and couldn’t believe one of their heroes was there.

    As the story goes, back in the 60s when the Stones were just starting out, their first stop after landing in Chicago was Chess Records. Muddy Waters recording studio. They came in hopes of meeting Muddy in person. After walking up the stairs they saw a man on a ladder painting the ceiling in the hallway. Keith said “Excuse me sir, would you tell us if Muddy Waters is here?”
    The man put down his paint brush, got down off the ladder, wiped off his hands and extended his hand to Keith.
    “I’m Muddy Waters” he said.
    Keith’s jaw hit the floor.

      @@nielsje30 You've never played in a band otherwise you'd understand the culture. Musicians don't give props during a performance. Just not the way things are done. The exception I've seen is in some jazz ensembles where all the musicians will stand up and point to the drummer during a solo. Look at the Moranbong Band doing "Let the Snow Fall On New Years Day", The first violin and the cello give the big point to the drummer while she rips off a good one. As far as Keith being "not as good", that's another silly remark that shows your ignorance. Musicians judge other musicians on their body of work. On their lifetime contribution to the art. Keef has been doing it for over 50 years. I don't think anyone has been more influential than Keith Richards. Writing. Tuning. Improvisational stuff. Pushing the envelope. If you think the other guy was "better" then you're a tofu-eating woke Democrat.
