Synopsis
BB King and Muddy Waters are together regarded as the founders of modern blues, with King’s explosive guitar stylings paving the way for the electric blues of Eric Clapton, and Waters’ Chicago blues wailings inspiring the blues-rock sound of bands like The Rolling Stones. Here, presented for the first time together on DVD, are two great blues pioneers performing live in concert. Titles include:
BB King: Live at the Apollo (1991)
BB King is one of the most important electric guitarist of the last 50 years, playing 300 shows a year with his beloved Gibson guitar. He underwent a renaissance in the late 80s with his championing by U2 and a subsequent world tour that cemented his reputation as living legend. Now witness this great entertainer at the peak of his powers in 1991, at the home of black music, The Apollo Theatre. Tracks include When Love Comes To Town, Sweet Sixteen, The Thrill is Gone and many more!
Muddy Waters: Live at the Chicago Blues Festival (1981)
The Father of Chicago Blues, the late Muddy “Mississippi” Waters was one of the finest and most influential blues performers of all time - just ask The Rolling Stones, who took their name from one of his songs. Muddy here is captured in fine form onstage at the Chicago Blues Festival, with friend and collaborator Johnny Winter sitting in on guitar. Songs include Mannish Boy, I'm A King Bee, Trouble no More, She’s 19 years old, They Call Me Muddy Waters and Got My Mojo Working.
