People are amazed at the longevity of the Stones, but BB King is now 88 years old, and he still tours all over the world every year (I'm pretty sure he doesn't need the money)... :bowdown

One of my favorite BB King shows was a concert I took my Dad to on the wharf in Seattle - it was a clear summer day, and Mt Ranier looked beautiful in the distance.

B.B. King is THE MAN!
When I worked for MCA Records back in the early 80's, he was on out label, and I did several promo events, and concert things with him. A complete gentleman, and of course an amazing blues player. :thumbsup:thumbsup

righht on, i've got tickets to take my mom to see him on dec 7th, she loves his music. i'm more of an albert king guy myself, of the 3 kings that is.

Albert is a lefty like Hendrix was.

i'm currently learning this very song!

Actually, he probably does. I imagine he got fucked royally on most of his record deals.

:2 cents: ...

Most musicians earn more from live appearances than from record royalties. :2 cents:

another killer from that set

That song kicks ass! The Stones have done that song in live sets too during their own shows.

I think it's cool to see the look on all their faces in these vids. Muddy Waters is having a great time getting all the (well deserved) attention.
And Mick Jagger & Keith Richards look like 2 kids at Christmas being onstage with their hero.

it lookslike mick was just sitting in the crowd and then went up and joined in on champagne and reefer! there are a lot of heavy hitters on that stage! could you imagine? dang.

this came up on my pandora blues mix earlier, wow!

Especially musicians who signed the rights away to their hits 50 years ago.

Yeah, the Stones were in town during their 1981 Tattoo You Tour and played 3 nights at The Rosemont Horizon in Chicago.

And going out every night to the Checkerboard Lounge in Chicago to see Muddy was at the top of their list of shit to do every night. I believe they had him play with them in front of their huge crowds while they were there as well.

I remember reading all about it back when it happened...but now actually seeing this footage is incredible. There wasn't no fancy "internet" back in '81. I just got my info from Rolling Stone and Musician magazines back then. lol

nice, that was the tour i saw them in the astrodome! zztop and the t-birds opened up. shitty acoustics, good times!

Here is where the Stones first walk into the club and get onstage. Keith actually pops open an entire bottle of liquor and is swigging from the bottle lol Matter of fact he whips out a fucking switchblade to open the bottle if you watch closely:

Suddenly made me think of an old Muddy Waters tune, "Champagne and Reefer"...and sure enough: :thumbsup :1orglaugh



Edit: Oops, got stoned and missed Dyna Mo's post, lol (damn Jack Frost).

I saw that tour at The Orange Bowl in Orlando. Van Halen opened up.

got this going now, i saw mick swig outta that bottle in the reefer song and then have a lol about it, too funny

i'll look for that knife

:1orglaugh :thumbsup got some neptune- sour diesel kcikin here. :pimp

holy crap that was fantastic! wow. rly. dang. the end, "that's keith!" obviously they were all coked out and still keith just went full solo bam. but that muddy solo at the end was just as fun. crazy.

caught that knife too, lolz.

This thread needs a whole lot more of the ultimate Muddy Waters / Rolling Stones affiliation:



I spell "M", "A" child, .... "N".

Hence the name of the band... History...



The first Master of the Telecaster. Muddy Waters. He be a rollin' stone. Funny how the camera only focuses on the only two white women in the crowd, though...
