can anyone give me the lowdown on this gig? i've enjoyed watching it but i'm curious as to how it was done. did fans know about it? who was in the club? its one of the rawest boots i've seen and i love it.

my recollection is that yes, fans knew the boys were in the house. who was in the club? it was Muddy's band at the time, if that's what your asking. Fun watch, but I've always thought Mick sounds like a little school girl next to the master....

Mick indeed seems to be having some kind of problem,
but it's sure a joy to hear/see Keith coming to an understanding with the other musicians.
one thing i noticed last time i watched it: Keith's using his rosewood Tele. isn't that interesting. :E

Keith, be well - all the way, baby, all the way

yeah i knew that was Muddy's band on stage. i was mainly curious to know how the whole thing went down. also i could only pickout buddy guy and junior wells. who was the tall dude in the suit who jumped up there at the end of manish boy. i'm sure you'll tell me who it is and i'll be laughin about it but for the life of me i have NO clue.

and yes, its hard for anyone to compete with the master. i still think mick did a decent job. lets see waters get up there and do neighbors in 81...

>> who was the tall dude in the suit <<

you mean Lefty Dizz? who gets a bit out of control and finally Muddy steps back in?

Keith, be well - all the way, baby, all the way
