FIVE COPIES OF MUDDY WATERS & THE ROLLING STONES: LIVE AT THE CHECKERBOARD LOUNGE CHICAGO 1981 ON DVD
On 22 November 1981, in the middle of their mammoth American tour, The Rolling Stones arrived in Chicago prior to playing three nights at the Rosemont Horizon. Long influenced by the Chicago blues, the band paid a visit to Muddy Waters’ club the Checkerboard Lounge to see the legendary bluesman perform.
It didn’t take long before Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Ian Stewart were joining in on stage, and later Buddy Guy and Lefty Dizz also played their part. It was a unique occasion captured on camera. Now, restored from the original footage and with sound mixed and mastered by Bob Clearmountain, this blues night is being made available in an official release for the first time. Although a few tracks have been on poor quality bootlegs this official release is the most complete version of the show ever to have appeared and is in superior sound and picture quality.
