The riff used in this song isn't from the original Smokestack Lightning; it's taken almost note for note from the live version of Led Zeppelin's The Lemon Song (not sure if that's where it originally came from or not).
You're correct. It hasn't died. Its legacy is modern rock bands like Nickleback and Creed. I'd name more, but I am not actually familiar with any more.
AMazing.. this is the first time Ive seen Chris LIVE doing that scream. Ive always heard it off the cd but wow..seeing his mouth actually sing it..rad

Still a very good cover, though.

Actually howlin wolf did a couple versions of this song, of of them sounding pretty much identical to that main riff that they are playing.
He pretty much did a slow tempo version and then a faster one.
I prefer the faster.

Ben wasn't in the band until 1990, unless you meant Ben's better than this guy.
