On 11/22/81, the Rolling Stones were criss-crossing America on one of their mammoth tours when they had a night off in Chicago and went to see Muddy Waters performing at his own juke-joint, The Checkerboard Lounge. Mick Jagger, Ron Wood, Keith Richards, and Ian Stewart wound up jamming with Muddy and his band to the absolute delight of the lucky patrons there that night and, it was all caught on camera.
Now, with the advantage of DTS Surround Sound, Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Stereo, mixed and mastered by Bob Clearmountain, this 90-minute wang-dang-doodle has been lovingly preserved for the ages. Add Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, and other musicians into the equation and the sum of these parts is not only greater than the whole but worth salivating over. Heretofore only available as a bootleg.
