I have heard 2 recordings, supposedly of Muddy with the Stones backing him.

One was called: Live at the Checkerboard Lounge. The other is 'Sweet Home Chicago'. Are these from the same era. or same shows? Is it Muddy backed by the full Stones (Keith, Mick, Ronnie, Charlie, Bill) or is it Muddy's band with Mick and/or Keith sitting in? Or is it all urban legend?

The Checkerboard Lounge has Muddy's band with a lot of guests(they cant hardly all get on stage!) but Mick, Keith and Ron are the only Stones sitting in. Unless maybe Stu gets in on the action-I cant remember.
