On 22 November 1981, in the middle of their mammoth American tour, the Rolling Stones arrived in Chicago prior to playing 3 nights at the Rosemont Horizon. Long influenced by the Chicago blues, the band paid a visit to Muddy Waters’ club the Checkerboard Lounge to see the legendary bluesman perform. It didn’t take long before Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Ian Stewart were joining in on stage and later Buddy Guy and Lefty Dizz also played their part. It was a unique occasion that was fortunately captured on camera. Now, restored from the original footage and with sound mixed and mastered by Bob Clearmountain, this amazing blues night is being made available in an official release for the first time.

I have some interest in this. Eagle tends to really overdue the audio brickwalling, so I will await reviews.

Didn't Johnny Winter also perform ? This is a must get, I have some of this on collectors CDs and the is some footage on a few DVDs out there that I have seen.

Got mine today. I plan to listen to the cd tonight.

Was pleasantly surprised (and, frankly, shocked) to find the CD/DVD combo pack at Best Buy today, much less on sale for $14.99. Their sticker price was $16.99.

How is it?

Geff,

No idea yet. Still at work.

I like it. And my boy Jack loved it. For what that's worth.

Just started listening to the CD in my car. Looking forward to watching the DVD later. As a fan of Muddy Waters and The Rolling Stones, this is something long overdue. Glad to finally see it released.

One question I have though, can we really call this The Rolling Stones? I mean, where's Bill and Charlie? Remember the album, Jamming with Edward? That wasn't credited as The Rolling Stones back in the day because Keith Richards wasn't there. (Wasn't that the reason?). On the flipside, we recently had Ben Waters' CD, Boogie 4 Stu, with ALL members of the current Stones lineup -- along with Bill Wyman -- on the track Watching the River Flow. And that wasn't credited on the disc as The Rolling Stones.

What's in a name?

Mick and Keith were credited as such (not at the Stones) at the Concert for New York City. On the other hand, I seem to recall that the old "25x5" home video documentary strongly implied that the Stones had played a 1979 charity concert for the blind in Canada as part of Keith's sentence for heroin possession, when it was in fact the New Barbarians.

Stranger still: "In Another Land" was released on a Rolling Stones album and as a Bill Wyman solo single; conversely, Mich Jagger's "Memo From Turner" single showed up on a couple of Rolling Stones comps.

Finally, sort of like like with the Ben Waters CD, the 1997 Stones are also credited as backing up B.B. King on the song "Paying The Cost To be The Boss" on the "Deuces Wild" album.
