Muddy Waters "Blow Wind Blow"

[kickalion]

is it little walter on harp?

[SugarBlueHarp]

@kickalion That is definitely NOT Little Walter!!!!! Listen to the original recordings circa 1950's and hear Little Walter's mastery when he was at the top of his game!!

[chalino19]

@kickalion its junior wells

[slimbo159]

got se him in worcester ma in 76 just before he left us

[bengreens]

BEAT that thing, Pinetop! I will always remember you like this.

[Gnomitolindo]

[CriticalListener]

What a lineup! Great stuff! And the "Fathers and Sons" album is indeed one of the best ever made.

[busessuck1]

Good tribute, RIP to the lot of them... except the ones still alive that is

[Philby62]

When this song starts cooking you just cant help but sway from side to side. It just grabs you and moves you along. Quite beautiful.

[nathanoman1]

[frederickus]

[oldpegan]

[billyshitcheese2]

@oldpegan why?

[ashappy6]

Love Muddy

[TDKIII]

Tom Jones? He was a great blues singer before going pop...it would be cool if he sang something here, but I do believe Elvin Bishop should've been part of this, maybe Steve Miller too

[evanfrmheaven]

@TDKIII Yes indeed!

[TDKIII]

is that Elvin Bishop in the audience at about 3:50?

[evanfrmheaven]

@TDKIII I think it's Tom Jones!

[gastonsag]

@evanfrmheaven me too

[tenbarsteam]

@evanfrmheaven don't be daft!

[evanfrmheaven]

@tenbarsteam Hey, I like Tom Jones, he's got perfect hair!

[johnnyreeferseed]

Anybody know if there's a dvd of this anywhere?

[bongohymns]

Dig around on netflix. They have a boatload of old music dvd's

[MegaDumkopf]

All Good.

[TrailerNo9]

[slowfinger2]

@Vampire Lover. Muddys' legendary "Fathers And Sons" Album contains this song and much more, with this fantastic groove. Half the double album is Live.

[LesbianVampireLover]

That is one helluva ensemble. I wonder whether this was released on record or even if there is a DVD of this floating around somewhere??!!

[kevincanwait]

damn good harp player....Jerry Portnoy!

[Shim267]

@bbb2blues I'm on it!

[Cajanek026]

@bbb2blues I'm 19 years old and have been playing nothing but the blues since I first picked up a guitar.

There's still hope... dubstep can't last forever, right? 

[murrell420]

@bbb2blues i still got em man look up "the good sins and bad men" as long as i have the blues imma play em them blues where u on the dirt road sippin dirty water from a mason jar nowhere 2 go and even if had someplace 2 go noway 2 get there no money no food no girl....

[condor1087]

It's from a PBS series that our WTTW did called Soundstage. Get the full show if you can. The interplay between Johnny Winter and Bloomfield is something else. Talk about two of the sweetest and most real 2nd gen blues guitarists ever. Then Jr. Wells takes a few numbers before out comes Muddy-the grand daddy of them all.

[Mahershallalhashbaz]

It's Jerry Portnoy on harmonica in the intro; He recorded many of these same songs with Clapton on "From the Cradle;" Clapton deliberately picked him because he was Muddy's harmonica player at the time. This is a fantastic blues video.

[Gilmourette]

Great music! Looks like Paul Butterfield on harp, to the left of Muddy. I'd love to find this show in it's entirety somewhere in the PBS archives. Anyone know if it's available somewhere?

Thanks for posting this!

[7upIsLove]

whoa, wow, wow, where's the rest?

[TheIrishHammer]

I bet Wind was a hooker

[JonMartMusic]

love it

[TREYOLDHIPPIE]

Yeah! Pinetop just did a tribute with Willie Big Eyes SMITH, and Bob Stroger for Morgan Freeman's Kennedy Center Awards. BB also played, separately. When CLINT took Pine back onstage for a final "bow"- Morgan--THEN..-- stood up, and waved and clapped.. to the "ELDER OF THE BLUES," --Pinetop!! What a great moment for the guys! Morgan was knocked over also! BLUES.. Support blues.. call your dying radio stations;- and be sure to see blues-- LIVE!

[Mounhas]

You must have seen some acts in the windy city, for sure. And still do I guess, but the memories of Muddy, Wolf, Willie Dixon, Otis Spann and JLH, ah such memories!!

[TREYOLDHIPPIE]

Hey, I only just got started! I feel, TRY to never pass up a chance to see any elder blues 'men.' Its often inconvenient, or even costs extra.. and is not close.. but WHOA, memories are still around, to be taken, and kept forever.

[bobbybluz1]

@TREYOLDHIPPIE RIP Willie and Pinetop. Pinetop was at Legends last October when I sat in with Carl Weathersby. I first met Willie @ 25 years ago and have done gigs and one recording with his son Kenny.

[SoyPiurano]

santana estaba ahi??? me parecio q loco

[djrogers1989]

what is the name if this show?

how can I get this entire show to practice harp with?

[evanfrmheaven]

It,s called a tribute to Muddy Waters 1972, PBS

[amirali9011]

I LOve jazz forever...

[ldeguzman]

it's the blues man... yeah!

[vaffa87]

[Wisegeorge]

That sure looks like Pinetop Perkins on the piano. Still going strong thirty five years later.
