[memphislover1]

Brilliant...  can't say anything more but brilliant

[Bluestomiv]

jerry portnoys tone is terrible in this video.

[TheBlackycat]

R.I.P. Willie Big Eyes Smith. :(

[curleyteeth]

Willie is a frustrated harp player I believe and not too bad either but sometimes in life you have to leave it to the experts and Jerry Portnoy is just one of them.I doubt he can play the drums though.

[boners2nite]

What an incredible groove Willie Big Eyes Smith lays down here!

[bretzagar]

F'ing hate clapping; ruins it.

[slowfinger2]

Fantastic groove. Repeat......

[pit2ryan3]

Pinetop Perkins on piano ...

[ScorseseKubrick]

A question to Muddy excperts, when listening to Muddy studio albums, how do you know if it's Muddy playing the guitar or someone else?

[305bigdad]

When I get to heaven, the first thing I'm gonna do is see where Muddy, Howlin Wolf, Stevie Ray Vaughn, etc are playing.

[Bluzer86]

@305bigdad Oh yeah, you sead it right :)

[Citan1981]

Muddy is the best. I listen to his music every day over and over.

[Aristoteles83]

[GuitarsAreMagic]

hey muddy waters, did you know you will be remembered forever?

[karinablacktie]

What a treat to be able to watch a legend like Muddy Waters while I sit here at my computer. Life doesn't get any better.

[karinablacktie]

What a treat to be able to watch a legend like Muddy Waters while I sit here at my computer. You can't get any better than this.

[bislibamba]

[oitsbarb55]

[sumi0434]

long live the blues

[DudleyScardsdale]

Jerry Portnoy = Harmonica master

Muddy Waters = Electric blues master

The blues gods are pleased with this performance

[vfondrk]

Good to hear PineTop is still cooking. Obviously, this was before McKinley's Motorcycle accident, because he was still playing pretty well. Must have seen him 8 times before he died.

[diddyjazz]

Top Notch

[shrubhater]

Master Blues! :-)

[MrJJJupiter]

Howling Wolf, Muddy Waters and Buddy Guy. In that order. Go see Buddy Guy while you can i did twice.

[MrMephisto89]

@MrJJJupiter

Not to forget John Lee Hooker, Robert Johnson and the King (B.B. of course)

[bislibamba]

@040207MJ come on girl! don't be a bit foolish(no offences), everyone have a chance to listen blues, no matter the skin or the place where you from,just to know.. im white and brazilian but, who matters?? ;)

[DrumzzKool]

@DrumzzKool Well, I can guarantee you that if that bass player did NOT feel the pocket (in the same place as the drummer) then, there would be no pocket!

[harosolo]

JR

[elswano1]

Good video picture and sound excellent!! great job and thanks

[garyblues8]

I saw this exact band many times in the 70's...... What memories to see them on here again for the first time in years. I always knew back then the legendary brilliance that I was seeing. .... thanks for the video bluesboy69 !

[frankenberry1977]

the father of it all!!!!!!!!!!!! chicago blues.. jazz.. rock and roll.. you name it.

[bluesoulady]

anyone know who was that playing harmonica? brilliant!

[MrPHBarr1919]

@bluesoulady Jerry Portnoy is my guess!

[ssurfcity]

@MrPHBarr1919 You are correct! 

[drcanehdian]

@MrPHBarr1919 you are correct sir - a very young Mr. Portnoy

[bluesoulady]

anyone know who was that playing harmonica

[mukaijun1003]

very good!

[rasturnicaciprian]

Volks, it is the musik the jazz comes from and ALL the mdern musik. Hendrics has been arund for years with such bands, util they undestood who he was! If you ever been on a stage you can feel the atmosphere! Gorgeous!

[lamiamano]

Muddy : a milestone, one of the fathers of modern blues. Without him we wouldn't have had the schooling we all need. Perfection of feelin' and bluesin'. You master the blues and then, from Muddy onwards, you can master any rock you want.

[realbudgiesmuggler]

Jerry Portnoy if your reading this I reckon you interpreted Muddy as good or better than any other harp player even on their best day.

Your sound and the restraint you showed to not take over makes you in my opinion a legend in accompaniment and a time capsule of what blues harmonica really is about, Front row your easy chair will be waiting for you when you rejoin the greats in blues heaven.

[cedricleecason]

@realbudgiesmuggler Love Jerry's style and playing!

[Hellozan11]

Kickass Quality! Kickass Video! Kickass Muddy Waters!

[95thanasis]

i love muddy's tele!!!!! whoa!

[harpace]

Portnoy with some great raggedy sounds out of what looks like a green bullet. What an honor it must have been to share the stage with Muddy.

[thelongwayhome]

Muddy Waters.

[lllnoxonlll]

Morganfield era il suo nome ... che casino hanno combinato laggiù !!

[7bongode]

Who's the drummer? He looks like the drummer with John Lee Hooker in the Blues Brothers.

[bluzyhound]

@7bongode The drumer is Willie Big Eyes Smith.

The harmonica player is Jerry Portnoy and the piano player is Pintop Perkins still playing with a back up band from Jersey at 96.

Calvin "Fuzz" Jones on bass, 'Steady Rollin' Bob Margolin on Guit fiddle along with Luther Guitar Junior Johnson on rythym.

You can catch muddy's band from the 70's on the road this summer in the All Star Blues Band.

[lowcomedy]

@bluzyhound No kidding about Pinetop, Still at the top of his game. If anyone could replace Otis Spann, it's him.

[Trekki61]

Jerry U R The Greatest

[MannyBlue65]

My father loved the guitar so I naturally grew up loving the guitar. Today we have so many incredible blues guitarist that you just can't say that just one of them is the best. During the 50's, B.B. King was noticed because he did not use a slide to play the guitar. During that time, that's all you heard, slide guitar. He tried something new and the world of blues loved it. Thank you B.B. King and thank you to all musician's.

[UJAXMAN]

Pinetop Perkins on Piano..

[vacmag]

I love Muddy, but I wil describe this piece as uncomfortable.

[EXTRAxJUICYxx15]

I'm 15 and i love this music sooo much, right here is the king of blues, besides Robert Johnson, and me and 4 of my friends are the only ones out of 1200 students in my high school that actually know about 'good music' like muddy, eric clapton, B.B.King, Etc. and i find that kind of funny hahah, my parents say i got an old soul anyways hahah

[VioletGiraffe]

@EXTRAxJUICYxx15

Same here, except for I'm 21 and I like some modern music, too :)

[SPAPBrocker]

@EXTRAxJUICYxx15 dude its so kool 2 find some1 like me im da same :P the prob is i dont have 4 friends that appreciate everything this like me. anyway im gunna shut up and listen 2 some muddy:P

its got so much soal!!

[MobileDjSC]

@EXTRAxJUICYxx15 I was like that at your age.

Now I Play Boogie Woogie Blues Piano,

[sweetnpeachy1]

@EXTRAxJUICYxx15 GOOD for you...you have good musical taste!

If not for Blues, there would be NO Rock & Roll!

[MrEpeeJoe]

@EXTRAxJUICYxx15 I know how you feel, I'm 15 also. no one at my school knows who muddy waters was, they are to busy with their rap to care anyways.

[babygangsta91]

@EXTRAxJUICYxx15 its good to understand and appreciate old music,cuz these days there is no real music

[40fordboy]

@EXTRAxJUICYxx15 ... I tip my hat to ya... been playin and listening since I was your age.. now at 63 it's up to you young ones to carry the torch.

Bill

[9belowzero1]

Jerry Portnoy is the man - listen to "Blues in a Dream" from the "Home Run Hitter" album - masterclass

[serilopr]

Nice Harp!! Wow those Germans have soul!

[djtonykoc2]

Awesome!!!

[blualberto1966]

Great voice, no white man as Eric Clapton, can compare to him...

[evaluator1000]

"Pinetop" Perkins on the piano. He plays excellent.

BLUES FOREVER!

[Earthfart]

OMG, that harp player is awesome.

[WTJoyce45]

@Earthfart Jerry Portnoy...

[cedricleecason]

I agree Earthfart! Jerry is one of my top five harp players of all time. I love his style and sound.

[maxemillianss]

the harp sounds great, but he should use a footswitch cause after the the second time on his Solo it s loose its spirituallity

[cedricleecason]

What?

[lhmran]

I've just started watching these vids, but it seems to me he sings much better in his early years.

I can bearly feel the Blues on this video.

Am I the only one?

[TheDaleDenton]

@lhmran How can you say you can't feel the blues on this vid?

[lhmran]

hmm, I'm really a novice to the blues music, so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.

But I feel there's too much of an audience, too big concert. And Muddy Waters seems tired. But I did hear that he was pretty sick during his late years.

Don't you think that the early footages are more enjoyable?

[TheDaleDenton]

I really don't care when they were shot in. Wether it was his early or late years, i think they're all the same. Amazing.

[cedricleecason]

Yeah, maybe ur the only one. Peace.

[iamironman12345]

This was one of Muddy's best bands!!

[NorthTulsaBoy]

Absolutely !

[insomniac428]

soooooooooooooooooooooooo GOOD

[BainDH]

Joe "Pinetop" Perkins is on piano, in case it wasn't noted earlier.

[MegaDumkopf]

How coolest. Snowing here big time.

[MAJORSNODGRASS]

What a superb drummer.

[andreblues66]

its a very good show of these bluesmen..this is great..blues..

[polo339]

And Pinetop Perkins on piano

[dufemi]

Yea good old blues.I wish I could live in the good old times.Powerfull american cars and this great music

[noyna9]

I have about 2000 vids on youtube,mainly blues,but this is the Kiddy of them all.Jerry Portnoy with Muddy is the main man.

[vectortemple]

Cannot say anything about Muddy - beyond words.

[dollybeeee]

super jerry portnoy!!!!!!

[vectortemple]

@dollybeeee - agreed. Jerry is a kickass player. Saw him live not too long ago-guy is amazing.

[ManyGodz]

It just doesn't get any better ! Magic.

[Izzielotzafunnies]

best of taste, thanks!!!

[pascanal]

this is it! top draw blues from Muddy and his band.

[MrReo89]

mouth organ and guitar...i love blues baby

[bengraham21]

love how muddy plays guitar...so effortless....also like the harp and keyboard solo

[Antonivs]

DAMN pretty GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAT!!­!!!!

[Ellie2847]

The drummer is full of soul; the harmonica player really commands that harmonica, and all together, the band enriches Muddy's guitar & singing, to produce a rich sound!

[TheConneman]

rfj, that's not Butterfield, it's Jerry Portnoy.

[herflidalok]

Jerry Portnoy will play in Germany Trossingen on 30/10/2009

[rfjoinery]

On piano, Muddy calls out Pine Top. Would have been Pine Top Perkins, still touring. On harp is Paul Butterfield, who didn't live much longer.

[stratplayer32]

Is that Johnny Johnson on the keys?

[cravenmoorrrrrrrrr]

Far out, dig the harp guys cheeks!!!, thought they were gonna bust at first glance. good vid.

[StarfireEKS]

thats Jerry Portnoy one of the best.

[shrubhater]

True blues...at it's BEST!!!!

[Tr0llsNeverDie]

based on delta blues.

[dickduckandthedorks]

Portnoy kill them, wow

[Sound4Sense]

I have never seen this concert footage of Muddy and his band at that time. I did see the chicago bluse fest stuff with Winters and actually I think I like this even better,

[ErikJoeNoise02]

what a cool jam , man ....

[Juliasblues]

Ya, nice "n tight !....Fabulous Band again, Muddy !!!..

[4everRock666]

the harmonica player ROCKS, holy shit.

[texasjohnnyboy]

This music, right here, is where bluesicians, and the like, get to sharpen their pencil, and do some good quality woodsheddin' ! This is the school of hard knocks. Rhythmical unity, the pocket, takes precedence. The dialects, of the blues, have to be earned. In most cases (not all) it is a life lived. Muddy was a pioneer who helped pave the way...and the Chess brothers had great ears. This is great American Music!!

[DrumzzKool]

@texasjohnnyboy

Well said johnnyboy! Groove is KING.

Dig Willie Smith slappin that shuffle.

Nice as shit.

[cannabisdeathmorbs]

@texasjohnnyboy fuk yea dude

[MrBluesLarsson]

Good Blues never Fade!!Love It

[lovemeacoustic]

the harmonica player looks like fredy murcury!

[BaxtonUrr]

That's Jerry Portnoy, fabulous harpplayer, Muddy's sidekick, worldclass, toured with Clapton.

[LucasDeckmyn]

isn' it at northsea jazz in the hague NL !?

[redibeaver]

This band was so hot with Pinetop Perkins on Piano, Portnoy blowin harp and Bob Margolin backing up Muddy on guitar and impossible to find a better drummer, Willie Smith. These guys were tight! No theatrics just solid drivin blues! Thanks for the post Bluesboy....You may not taste good but you got good taste baby!

[shaserv]

Solid Drivin Blues, Thats The Ticket!

[jubiladajubilosa]

¡¡¡Que ritmo!!! Alegra el alma y del cuerpo no digamos. Imposible no bailar.

¡Fantástico. Gacias!

[missnuct21]

Is he playing those drums or what???

[OscarPetersonFan]

He's gonna play with uor band next Sunday!

[Honeysucklebommie]

Whos the harp player?

Nice style, he plays on king bee but I never found who he is??

thanks for the vid too mate.

[Dumblesnape]

Jerry Portnoy

[Guitarkingcharly]

Gracias Bluesboy89 por este Gran Video!!

[noyna9]

pinetop perkins is still alive and playing aged 95.

[12stringsforme]

playing and singing like a guy two generations younger!

[ramron333]

clapton did a great version too

[mauirob69]

Clapton played @ Hollywood Sportatorium(Hollywood,FL) in 1982. Tom Dowd(Eric's producer) flew Muddy in as a surprise for Eric's birthday. Muddy came out and Eric was totally blown away! Muddy sat on a stool and blew the harp as he and Eric sang.They played, "Blow Wind Blow." Unfortunately it was the last show Muddy ever played...

[SherifG1]

that was great Footage no doubt

>>Sherif

[Riff4hard]

Muddy had the best voice and his slide playing is terrific! Mick J. will never sound as sexy as Muddy-in fact he sound like a little schoolboy compared to Muddy!

[hdf1]

And don't forget Pinetop Perkins playin' piano - I'm pretty sure it's him!

[redibeaver]

What a great trio in this band, Pinetop, Portnoy and Muddy! At least as rockin' as the band with Walter back in the 50's. Pinetop Perkins is a blues legend who should rightfully be in Muddy's Heaven-Rockers!! Amen

[Eddiespageddie]

wow i can play like that now.its been 40 years though..and im learnin..ignorant music is the call

[ThomasDeLello]

Jerry Portnoy... Harp

[jimboturner]

your a slave to your own ignorance

[redibeaver]

Havean is a sick piece of shit

[bluedoc0]

One of my favourite Muddy bands. Jerry Portnoy does Little Walter proud!!!

[DrumzzCool]

GROOVE is KING! Oh man, WHATTA BAND!

I was once Muddy's personal bartender...Outside Inn, Angola NY. summer '76. We got a case of Piper Heidsieck specially for him. Great memories!

[peterm3964]

Muddy ALWAYS loved his HARPMEN .

[NatKingCole46]

The piano part is the best

[NatKingCole46]

The harp player is too loud. He ruined it.

[Bluesitup1967]

To Doderhultarn89, Why do you say fuck all whites?? Your a dumb cracker from Sweden!!

[catssniffs]

I think muddy was the best band leader in the blues,plus a great song writer.his phrasing with singing and guitar playing were second to none.muddy invented the electric guitar!So i think all that makes him one of the best blues guys of all time.

[Bopalena]

I love Muddy! I was lucky enough to see him live 9 times in the 70s and 5 of those times Johnny Winter jammed with him. Does it get any better than that? I think NOT! Both Johnny and Bob Margolin are still kicking ass all over the place and you should see them play whnever you can.

[frenchharp1]

Pine top is a legend
