"It's definitely Muddy, but from when and where is anyone's guess. 11 cuts ranging from "Corrina, Corrina" to "Mojo", this is a pretty well recorded set, but without credits, it's hard to tell from what period of Waters' career this is taken from- I would guess the '70's, but who knows. Still, ain't nothing wrong with live Muddy Waters, no matter how you find it."

One of the best live albums.......Ever!

"The true beauty of this album is the pure rawness and lousy recording. The distortion and feedbacks only add to its luster.

If you play this album and close your eyes, you will be transported to an outdoor blues festival somewhere, (Probably Chicago). You can just smell the Bar-B-Ques smoke and and scent of beer while Muddy Waters and his band crank out this list of blues standards. The speakers just crackle with energy and make it imposible not groove on this. There are no overdubs or engineering on this album to polish it up. It is recorded as it happened and gives it a true definition of "Live".

This album is highly recommended for any blues fan or anyone who enjoys live music."
