That's Pate Hare on guitar. A rock solid, in demand sideman who played with most of the Memphis and Chicago greats in addition to a series of classic releases under his own name.

The rest of the Waters band at the festival was Muddy Waters, voc, g; James Cotton, hca, Otis Spann, p; Pat Hare ["Tat Harris" on back cover], g; Andrew Stephens ["Andrew Stevenson" on back cover], b; Francis Clay, dr; [] and guest artists Butch Cage, violin; [] Lafayette Thomas, guitar.

First thing I noticed (apart from JLH of course) was Otis Spann bottom left corner, and on both tracks he excels, he was like instinctive with his accompaniment, just so natural and so spine chillingly soulful. When he died I swear a bit of myself died as well. While cannot really hear JLH's guitar this vid is a real treasure of a time when I was young but hell, the music still rocks.

@zeppelinek92 - Yes agree.

@mizterblack but Clapton, Peter Green, John Mayall (and more) are still incredible, blues-rock is damn good thing
