    WRONG!!! That"s Jerry Portnoy on harp

  • Many years ago I had the honor of seeing Muddy, Pinetop and Jerry Portnoy at a small venue in suburban Chicago. Front row seats, less than 10 feet from the Master himself. Even at that time I knew I was witnessing something special!

  • @meathead444 That must have been amazing!

  • R.I.P Pinetop!

  • is that Ben Stiller on the Harmonica!?

  • @JnOProductions bruce springsteen

  • @JnOProductions really his name is Jerry Portnoy

  • pinetop perkins la descose

  • hey, im brazilian and this song is amazing man. hahahahahahahahahahaha blues is great hahahahahahaha the guy of the harmonica man. hahahahah very good very good.

  • What a band!! Bob Margolin, Pinetop, Portnoy....this is my fav lineup of all of Muddy's bands, possibly excepting when Cotton was in there

  • Wow - I always admired Portnoy, but this video is evidence of the genious of Willie Smith oO

  • @MrMephisto89 damn sure is! Pinetop too!

  • Okay,tell me the truth...anyone who would listen to Muddy Waters and not like this???

    That's a lie...that's the Devil inderjecting some bullshit into our groove...!!

  • pure geniousness

  • Unbelievable! Joyous! That's where it's at people!

  • @cedricleecason its true haha. however, 1 person seems to have retracted his dislike so there are still 2 deaf people out there!

  • 3 people are obviously DEAF...

  • @DanHudsonBand LOL!!

  • 'Muddy was the best Bluesband leader ever.

    He controled it all, and looked relaxed on top of that.

    But don't let that fool you.

    Great musicians all of 'em.

    The drummer is something else.

    Just try and copy his style.

    It won't work I bet you.

  • Breakers!!! Thanks for post this.

  • Breakers!!!

  • 3 people just plain suck

  • Core Blues.. yeah baby

  • Hey!! Is that Hollywood Fats??

  • Killer

  • Portnoy looks so natural with Muddy and co you forget he's a white guy who's half Muddy age. Plays a damn fine harp too.

  • Who is best Sonny Boy , Junior Wells or Blues-Harper? ww.youtube.com/watch?v=xq7hjhs­PMlY

  • When I was a kid, I was into Big Band Jazz. My mum got mixed up and bought me a Muddy Waters CD for my birthday. Never looked back!

  • Comment removed

  • Tou canAdd Bob Margoling on Facebook!! he can tell you alot about his performances with Muddy!! he's really a great Kind Man!! :)

  • Bob Margolin!! excuse me for the extra G

  • hahah the harp player looks like BEN STILLER

  • Bob Wills has a great version of this.

  • any one one know how jerry gets that harsh tone?

    is it the gear or the mic?

  • a true-blue waters piece of art

  • this is the best muddy waters song in my opinion. i used to rock out to this song when i was a kid. my parents had the blues going all the time. so this shit just takes me back.

  • @AnjMan1985

    You grew up well!

  • estoy redundando, pero en efecto Portnoy es increible. ¿como es que no tuvo una carrera brillante despues de estar con muddy?

  • This is a nickname for harmonica

  • huhuh sorry, I'm not from english speaking country, so I was trying to be smart... guess it hasn't worked that well lol :) but it's stil kinda strange nickname since there is the instrument that is called harp :P

  • uhhh...harp is slang for harmonica! like tin sandwich, mississippi saxophone, mouth organ etc...its called harp especially by harp players.

  • @loonaya You know its called the harp in blues terms so stop being a prat.

  • being a prat? it's not like I sent hundreds of posts bugging about harp which would make me a prat, I asked a simple question... Like I said I'm not from an english speaking country so I didn't know, but you, being a "full of himself" stereotyipical american or british wouldn't understand that not everybody speaks your fuckin language would you?

  • WOW! Tell us how you really feel there my friend. You just lumped 2 countries into a single mold. Amazing.  Not all americans are the same. Not all of your countryman are the same, at least I hope not!

  • Thanks for posting!

  • Muddy is the King.

    Jerry is flawless....loves the way he plays. He is among the five greatest harp players ever...PERIOD!

  • Comment removed

  • Jerry Portnoy is the best Muddy sidemen of them all and that will attract some comments to be sure.

  • Agreed , his harp break during Champagne and reefer puts the hairs on your neck into action.

    If you can watch it live anywhere you see luther twitch and turn like a shock goes down his back too :-)

  • Esse é o homem blues, inesquecivel!!

  • that guy on the harp lives near me i no him well

  • one of the first Blues songs i heard and that made me like Music.

    Thanks for uploading

  • I know Muddy love the sounds of his bands and it brings him a smile, but at 2:02 the smile seems to say, "That boy can play that harmonica almost like Little Walter." Muddy said on one occassion that Jerry was the greatest harp player since Littlle Walter. Love Jerry playing!!!

  • Love this song, love this version ! Thank you for this Post, Bluesboy89 !

    "old Muds", I like that !

  • nice boogie blues let's rock!

  • LW or no LW - this is Muddy's best band evaaah!!

  • Easy ! That's a Big statement ! lol !....I think they all are !! So did Muddy !.....PeaveLoveBlues...

  • Great performance,Thanx for posting!

  • Stunning video bluesboy... thanks forever....

  • For the longest time I thought he was saying my name "Tamille" which is obviously wrong but hilarious none the less

  • And the nice name you have, it took me some time allso to hear that he is singing about the mill and not a womans name :)

  • Thank you very much ;)

  • check out Portnoy on harp. Sweet sound of the harp.

  • He's good but I cant help but thinking that he looks like a 70's porn start...lol

  • old Muds the blues, all the way!

  • This is truly the father of the Blue , doin' it!

  • woow..this rocks ,thanks for the share harvey

  • I think this is about as good as it gets.Music from the soul.

    How much would you pay to see this lot play tomorrow.

  • the one.....the only.....mr. muddy waters.......have mercy....i saw muddy live many times.....the crowd went totally nuts every time.....chicago blues, nothing like it.....

  • I love this tune! Bob Margolin's solo turns totally BAD ASS at 3:38 right through to the end of his solo! What a great feel!

  • @lenaspieltblues: Nice that you recognised this Minnie-song. Originally recorded by Memphis Minnie(Lizzie Douglas/1897-1973) as:

    "What's the Matter With the Mill" in Chicago IL. Sept.9/1930(!!) for VOCALION C-6442-Vo 1550 and deals with male impotence(!), weird to hear males sing this typical 'female' song. I wonder if Muddy & his guys were aware of this ?? Danke schön für dein Beitrag.

  • Absolutely one of the best bands of all time!!! Not a blues band then, since or now that can compare, compete, or beat. Muddy's King!

  • i can't get enough of this grinding...muddy and portnoy,sheer magic

  • mmmmh!!! Love this ... these men, playin' an old Memphis Minnie hit. Thank you for posting!

  • I've set this song as my alarm in the mornings, can't get enough of it!

  • muddy you the MAN!

  • Xtra Fine. Muddy. Five Star For Sure!
