Phew....43 years ago! It is a lovely film and worth watching, just to be there.
Here's a sample....

Many thanks for this Pete !!!
Never seen the full footage before.
Muddy Waters is on great form here.
On the first tune he plays slide (Country Boy), he keeps the tone pot of his Telecaster WAY down, for the first of his solo, then pulls it up a little for the 2nd version, then up full towards the end of that verse & volume up full for his final verse of solo, knocking the audience dead !!!
If I were in the Rolling Stones, I’d bloody turn up on time, for the start of the gig, and not disturb things taking to their table in front of Muddy, mid-performance !
It’s interesting watching this, seeing John Primer, as a younger man. John Primer, is the one playing a Fender Telecaster, with a humbucker in the neck position.
I played two gigs with John Primer, back in 2018, with me on piano, for the Edinburgh J&B Festival.
Ooft ! At the end of Long Distance Call, when Muddy is trying to shout out a few lines , supposed to be solo (singing), Ronnie Wood is nearly spoiling proceedings by playing ad-libs that don’t fit. Somehow, Muddy Waters manages to sing through it though. Phew !
