Muddy Waters & Rolling Stones - Sweet Home Chicago (1981)
"When Muddy Waters took the stage at the Checkerboard
Lounge in Chicago on November 22, 1981 to play a session with members
of the Rolling Stones and fellow bluesmen Buddy Guy, Junior Wells and
Lefty Dizz, no one expected it to become one of his last live concert
appearances. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ron Wood and 'fifth Stone'
Ian Stewart, staying in Chicago for three concerts on November 23, 24,
and 25, were excited to meet their long-time idol, perhaps the greatest
bluesman ever and, of course, one of the major influences which led to
the formation of the Rolling Stones back in 1962. They even took their
band name from one of Waters' songs, 'Rolling Stone.' The meeting took
place in an atmosphere of great anticipation, friendship and respect.
Hear Jagger, during 'Hoochie Coochie Man,' sing the line '...I was born
with good luck' and Waters' humorous response to superstar Mick: '...I
see that!' ...irresistable! 'Time waits for no one' sang the Rolling
Stones, whome he had given a part of his unforgettable way of playing
the blues. Further proof may be given by three Rolling Stones bonus
tracks included in this collection: 'I Want to Be Loved' (unreleased
studio outtake, IBC Studios, London, March 11, 1963), 'I Can't Be
Satisfied' (BBC Radio performance on "Top Gear", July 23, 1964) and 'I
Just Wanna Make Love to You' (live recording, Madrid/Spain, June 17,
1990). We would like to dedicate this record to Muddy 'Mississippi'
Waters. It was one of his last but definitely not least appearances on
stage."*
(*) album linear notes
A great record of a great meeting. It is need
necessary to remind that the name of the band "Rolling Stones" was
inspired by the name of a MUddy Watters' song called "Rolling Stones".
This name was used for the first time in the London Marquee Club show
(July, 22, 1962) and one of the firsts Rolling Stones' single was a
Muddy Waters cover called "Want to be loved".
