The presentation alone already justifies the acquisition and on vinyl sensational concert is then absolutely authentically. Laudable, the DVD and CD are also integrated in the set. To accommodate itself, which is already been said:
---------------------------------------
One would think that were present in Chicago in the Checkers Lounge few hundred people on the evening of November 22, 1981. Since then float happiness animated half a meter above the ground, because they were part of this magical, nearly two-hour moment because it is surrounded by a Gods meeting sat and witnessed live as casual and professional at the same time, new stars were thrown into the universe completely unearthly sounds.
I'm exaggerating? Well, I authorize from time to time childlike enthusiasm me. This recording also makes it extremely easy to be working with enthusiasm in flames.
It is fascinating that, soberly considered, Muddy Waters would hammer out with his exquisite band these songs even without the Stones as well, because musically the Rolling Stones are not complete attending almost beside the point. The "work" the guys from Muddy Waters, also the majority of the vocals done Muddy Waters with his tree felling voice. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ron Wood and Ian Stewart hanging more or less happily around the stage and do here and there just relaxed with. Since nothing was long planned and dead-rehearsed. They were just there, they had time, they made spontaneously and had a lot of fun with her idol.
And Muddy Waters himself, on clearly visible, would have burst prefer happiness. His grin when he gets on stage surrounded by "Baby Please Do not Go" Mick Jagger is contagious. Man sitting in front of the screen and grinning involuntarily. Even with the abridged CD edition of this album, you can see the grin Muddy Waters even through the headphones. Mick babbling away without hesitation and sings a few lines. Everything remains transparent in the river, which demonstrates the brilliance of these musicians, and Waters asks "What about Keith?" Repeated Jagger and waving his brother animating on the mini stage.
It is probably the excellence with which the blues standards played with passion and it's the little details that make this DVD an event.
If the nearly septuagenarian Muddy Waters in "Mannish Boy" of Jagger with the words "Sang it son!" emits, has something touching, you can feel a kind of fatherly pride on these guys (the time after all, already nearly twenty years the biggest stages and recorded themselves were quite close to the forty in life calendar).
And it is this emotion that carries over to the game way Muddy Waters would "sons" so certainly not created together with tape, without the presence of. The great contribution of Jagger, Richards, Wood and Stewart is therefore less musical, but everything the vitalizing their hero. And who would have thought that to ask the alpha males of the Stones so gleefully in the second row. To observe which makes this document so special and unique. Stadium concerts are plentiful canned from the Stones, this evening was second to none.
That this wonderful (and best in picture and sound restored) recording had to wait more than thirty years in its official publication, is really incomprehensible that it but right now comes on the 50th anniversary of the Rolling Stones, once again shows that the masters of this Mega like band themselves to her big round birthday behind her idol classified. Because, as it says the legend, it was the cover of Muddy Waters LP "The best of" (Chess Records 1958) was lying on the ground, as Mick, Keith and Brian phoned in a London music magazine, an advertisement indicator to solicit for their concert on July 12, 1962. "Yeah, we print." so the answer and then "as you call yourselves?" - Helplessness! - "It"? "Thing"? All cheese! - Escalating perplexity and impatience at the other end of the phone line! - On the Muddy Waters LP is a song "Rolling Stone" ...
A few days later, were "The Rolling Stones" for the first time on stage at the Marquee Club. That is now exactly 50 years ago. This live album, on which the Stones are actually only furniture is a wonderful way to celebrate this anniversary, because it shows that even the gods have a father.
Congratulations - and in the future!
