So true; shows you what wonders we are capable when we stop the stupidness. The crowed were all totally caught up in the great performance. They all embraced the greatness whilst chilling along side each other then back home where they found comfort in hate. I really don’t get it it Music is an amazing gift 🎁

True! The sound quality of this recording is astounding! What did they use? Try and replicate this at a concert today with an iPhone, and then you'll appreciate just well this is recorded! Also, I feel like Led Zeppelin must have had some kind of KZfaq back in the 60s when they stole all this old music!! LOL

i mean, it's just 30 minutes, but Muddy shares the stage with two other lead singers. He's bringing his community with him, puting the full range of talent on stage at the Newport Jazz Festival -- one of the largest musical stages at the time. he is so clearly trying to demonstrate to white folk the full range of black talent when he could have hogged the spotlight to himself and it's amazing.

I was born on Valentine’s Day 1961. Less than 8 months after this. Muddy has been part of my musical tapestry since I found out the Stones were named after Rollin Stone Blues back when I was 12 in ‘73 and the rabbit hole of blues it opened for me is still one of my favorite places in the world.

Came from the south where he learned his blues in a country acoustic format. Delta blues made its way to Chicago not solely thru Muddy but he definitely had the sharpest look and the tightest band. Can you imagine Buddy Guy playing guitar for Muddy? Good lord people.....just blows my mind. He a rollin' stone sho nuff! And you see white people and black people in the crowd enjoying the heck out of this. That is a beautiful thing. This is just fantastic in every way possible!

"Put A Tiger in Your Tank" was a Mobil promotion of that era. Participating filling station dealers rewarded customers with a faux 'tiger tail'' affixed to the gas cap signifying their patronage. Muddy was prescient adapting several automotive references in his lyrics with the blues motif.
