Wow, that was so fantastic! Epic Stones songs that never get old and Mr. Muddy Waters looking sharp in his vest and tie giving us his classic “Mannish Boy” while inviting up blues legends to the stage. That club was the place to be!
I love all of these, but the performance with Muddy Waters is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing - never seen or heard that. That music, that kind of groove, is what the Stones were all about when they started.
Saw Buddy Guy and Junior Wells at the San Francisco Blues Festival in the mid 80s. Great OG blues guitarists. Other greats like Etta James, Albert King, Carlos Santana and Buddy Miles were also there. What an awesome show at the SF Great Meadow.
I can't wait. Love the Stones I hope that sometime soon you will react to some of their newest tunes thank you for reacting to the Great Rolling Stones
Neat visuals of Mick in Honky Tonk Woman. Such an intimate show, wow. One of the greatest things I’ve seen.😀What a treasure. That audience had such good restraint! Thank you, Gail, Scott, and Lee.
You need to check out the story behind their performance with Muddy Waters. Imagine being in that little club and having the Stones show up and start jamming. The entire event is on RUclips . Worth watching for sure .
a few stones members enter the checkerboard club because they want to hear Muddy Waters. Muddy Waters sees them and invites them to play with him. Maybe you should watch all the vids of it - it's really fun. The other two musicians were "Buddy Guy" and "Junior Wells" both are very good and famous blues musicions. Thanks for sharing and all the best from Hamburg / Germany
Loved these! The Stones are awesome and so is your reaction Lee. I don't know if you've already listened to Monkey Man by The Stones, one of their best rockers ever.
The Stones had been doing a show in town that night. After the show they decided to check out Muddy Waters in a small club. There's a whole video of this as someone here has mentioned. Great spontaneous jam
You just can't go wrong with the Rolling Stones, they always deliver, no matter what tune or what year. The Muddy Waters video with them is priceless, you need to see the entire set when you can, beyond awesome. They just keep Rolling along, into infinity! 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶🔥
@L33Reacts Also, Muddy wasn't repeating Whatta guy. He was saying Buddy Guy. A blues singer and guitarist. Live at the Checkerboard Lounge, Chicago 1981 album and video. Live at the Checkerboard Lounge, Chicago 1981 Muddy Waters and His Band Muddy Waters - vocals, guitar Rick Kreher - guitar John Primer - guitar Lovie Lee - piano Earnest Johnson - bass Ray Allison - drums George "Mojo" Buford - harmonica Guests Mick Jagger - lead vocals Keith Richards - guitar Ronnie Wood - guitar Ian Stewart - piano Buddy Guy - vocals, guitar Lefty Dizz - vocals, guitar Junior Wells - vocals, harmonica Nick Charles - bass
The Rolling Stones chose their name from the Muddy Waters lyric "I'm a Rolling Stone" in "Mannish Boy". Bob Dylan also wrote "Like a Rolling Stone" inspired by those Muddy Waters lyrics. L33, a great followup Reaction would be Muddy Waters "Mannish Boy" from "The Last Waltz" Movie. Every performance in "Last Waltz" is amazing, and you could double-up Muddy with a Reaction to Clapton's/The Band's "Further On Up The Road", (another classic performance).
On Honky Tonk Women, that was a new vocal performance by Mick with the studio backing track. I've seen the video with the late, great Muddy Waters, and it shows Mick, Keith and Woodie showing up at the club where Muddy is performing. I seem to remember Keith having an enormous hunting knife, which he stuck in the table. I may be mixing that up with some other Keith sighting. But anyway, they walk across tables to get on stage, and then the jam.
You need to watch the Mannish Boy from the beginning! You missed out on the Stones entrance and Muddy calling each onto the stage. I believe the first song was Baby Please Don’t Go
Fantastic assortment, great Stones sampler, goddam groove machine. Keith's and Charlie's lockstep connection was central to Keith's muscular riffs working. A buddy used to say "Gotta roll as well as rock, people forget". Actually the comment for next week's episode, this morning's with 'Start Me Up'. Great stuff. 😊❤
I read that Jumpin' Jack Flash is his favorite to play live. It's always fun to see them live playing this. And, well, playing everything they do! Thank you for these 3 great songs. Great, that you inc the wonderful Muddy Waters with the Stones video! Buddy Guy, Jr Wells. Greatness on that stage
Keith Richards says the riff of “Jumping Jack Flash” is fundamental, ancient, thousands of years older than all of us, from the Earth. You could say the same about “Mannish Boy”.
JJF from ya ya’s, when I first heard that as kid in the 80’s it blew me away All of my friends were into the 80’s artists popular at the time but for me it would always be the Stones from that day on Great reaction brings back memories as a teenager listening for the first time
This is the music the Stones imported at great expense before they really got together properly. In fact it was the fact that Jagger and Richard’s got to know each other as they were both carrying Muddy LPs at a station and they got talking and it rolled from there.
How important is Muddy Waters when think about it, without him, they would never meet! Mind blowing important person in the history of modern human culture. Muddy Waters is beyond a blues legend, without him. There might be no Rolling Stones!
I was fortunate to see Muddy Waters two or three times in the mid-70's. My mother was good friends with his harp player at that time, Jerry Portnoy, who later went to work with Eric Clapton.
My kid was in science class, teacher asked class to identify 3 gases. My boy shot his hand in air, teacher called on him.... boy says oxygen, helium and Jumping Jack Flash!!!!
I have a bootleg called 'Liver Than You'll Ever Be'. At the time (68-69) it was only the second live album of the Stones available so sold very well, hence why Jagger wanted this album released.
You need to check the beginning of this video, Muddy is doing his gig and the Stones walk in, they order their drinks. Slowly he calls, as part of his verse, Mick, Keith and Ronny up on stage. It's so cool and natural. Bill and Charlie were not there. You have to know who Buddy Guy is. ;>) Thanks. Really loving your reactions.
Did you say that Jumpin jack Flash from Bridges to Buenos Aires was blocked? Shame as I really dig that version. I think the singer who joined the stage late on is Buddy Guy? Not sure though, I thought I heard them say that. The Stones also played on stage with Buddy Guy in Scorcese's Shine A Light concert video (2005). They covered the Muddy Waters track Champagne and Reefer.
Muddy was the only one I know. I see below the one guy was Buddy Guy. I'm not too deep into the blues. I liked Honky Tonk Woman. It did sound like the record, which I liked.
As a big fan of Muddy Waters I saw him numerous times at various venues in and around Chicago. Small clubs and larger theaters. Best time was at Auditorium Theatre in Chicago about 1977 when he was touring his Hard Again LP that Johnny Winter produced and played on. That night in 1977 was memorable with Muddy and Johnny Winter, James Cotton on harp, Pine Top Perkins on piano, Bob Margolin/guitar and others. I know many think of this song Mannish Boy when they think of Muddy but it’s actually down my list of favorites. Just too basic for me he has so many better.
Now do yourself a favor and go react to Leon Russell's version of Jumpin' Jack Flash / Youngblood from the Concert for Bangla Desh, George Harrison's ground breaking fund raiser.
On "Jumpin' Jack Flash", the only reason it sounded so good was because Mick Taylor played in the band then. It was his first live gig. The Stones were never a good live band until Taylor joined the group. Thats a fact! Brian Jones or Keiffer could never play that good!
L33Reacts : With regard to "HONKY TONK WOMEN". Mick Jagger, here in this particular RUclips clip featuring your reaction, is singing "LIVE" on top of the prerecorded basic tracks studio recording (I.E. all instruments - drums, guitars, brass etc. - and backing vocals) and which became their official release of their latest (July 1969) 45 single "HONKY TONK WOMEN".
Wow, that was so fantastic! Epic Stones songs that never get old and Mr. Muddy Waters looking sharp in his vest and tie giving us his classic “Mannish Boy” while inviting up blues legends to the stage. That club was the place to be!
Buddy Guy, it was his club, this was on off night of The Rolling Stones 1981 tour in Chicago.
RIP Charlie. A superb jazz and rock drummer. Always understated but holding the rhythm section down.
Yes, Charlie was one of the best . He deserves way more credit than he gets.
Muddy enjoyed that as much as the Stones. The two way adoration.
He was having a blast too. They all were. What a party they must have had after lol
@@L33ReactsKeith talks about going back to muddy house afterwards for a massive party in his book

Yes thank you indeed… such a great jam this was
The Rolling Stones with their Idol and namesake. Love it!
I can't wait. Love the Stones I hope that sometime soon you will react to some of their newest tunes thank you for reacting to the Great Rolling Stones
Spot On, they have made some damn fine music in the last decade or so, incredible how they keep going. Greatest career of any band.
Neat visuals of Mick in Honky Tonk Woman.
Such an intimate show, wow. One of the greatest things I’ve seen.😀What a treasure. That audience had such good restraint!
Thank you, Gail, Scott, and Lee.
Absolutely ❤ what an awesome performance I thought too❤
Get Your Ya yas out is the Greatest live Stones album ever. And is my favorite live album ever
Have you ever heard the bootleg Brussels Affair which was finally legit released a few years ago? It’s amazing.
Yes I also have that album it's awesome
With Rock n roll circus🤘
@@sukie584 I bought the goats head soup box set record edition and that album is in there. They should have released those two albums together
@@toddbyrnes2199 oh, I didn’t know that! Yes, they’re perfect together!
As a lifetime Stones fan, one of the best things about seeing your reactions is the sheer joy Charlie brings you.
Favorite Stone's songs elevated my day. YAY. Thanks Gail and Scott, loved it. Great reactions, Lee. My cheeks hurt from smiling. Blessings all.
Absolutely ❤
Rock'n'roll will never die! Turn it up!
Yeaaaah. LOUDER

Life altering gig for those there to witness it. You tell your grandkids about winning the musical lottery that night!
"What a guy" is Buddy Guy. That was precious. 3 Times!!

Muddy Waters was 68 when this was recorded in 1981. Mick and Keith will both be 81 by the end of 2024.
Wow! That kinda blows my mind…. 🤯
Time is a mother fucker
@@L33Reacts I've tried to emulate Kieth Richard's secret to longevity and it has worked so far.
@L33Reacts Muddy died in 1983.

Muddy Waters has a song simply titled "Rolling Stone".
That was Buddy Guy in the white suit. Followed by Junior Wells in the cardigan and flatcap. Don’t know grey suit guy.
On Honky Tonk Women, that was a new vocal performance by Mick with the studio backing track.

You asked,who was the first player to join on stage?the answer Buddy Guy!
You need to watch the Mannish Boy from the beginning! You missed out on the Stones entrance and Muddy calling each onto the stage. I believe the first song was Baby Please Don’t Go
He has to do Muddy's entire set.

Definitely best live version of JJF. Playing it LOUD here in Ireland now.

Thank you for these 3 great songs. Great, that you inc the wonderful Muddy Waters with the Stones video! Buddy Guy, Jr Wells. Greatness on that stage
This is by far the best version of Jumpin’ Jack Flash. IMHO.
I loved it. That was a scorcher.
Keith Richards says the riff of “Jumping Jack Flash” is fundamental, ancient, thousands of years older than all of us, from the Earth. You could say the same about “Mannish Boy”.
@@L33Reacts Another great version of Jumpin' Jack Flash can be found on Johnny Winter And Live. Check it out.
The one on Ladies and Gentlemen from 1972 is my favorite
There are NO bad versions. The original studio is my fav.
Charlie kills it on this whole album
Buddy Guy and Junior Wells got up on guitar and vocal plus harmonica respectively after saying "hi" all 'round.
Yeah, baby what a triple play! Now you know what the Stones were all about.
Absolutely ❤
Great stuff
This is great 👍

The Stones! Enough said! Rock n Roll.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Absolutely ❤
I think Honky Tonk Women was recorded just after the band were told of Brian' Jones' death!
That's Buddy Guy, I request the video of The Stones and Buddy Guy doing Champagne and Reefer
I saw Muddy Waters perform in 1979. He was a force of nature.
The Stones back to their roots with Muddy Waters !!!!
Great choice, fun to watch.
That last concert wowowow...!
I was fortunate to see Muddy Waters two or three times in the mid-70's. My mother was good friends with his harp player at that time, Jerry Portnoy, who later went to work with Eric Clapton.
not what guy. BUDDY GUY
I know I caught that on the second watch lol my bad
@@L33Reacts love all the music you are reviewing.Time now for the Sex Pistols.
Great videos ... thanks requesters and Lee .... enjoying this
Love me some GLIMMER TWINS!!! Jagger/Richards❤❤
Little John the Conquer-oo is a reference to John lee Hooker! the stones got their name from Muddy Waters!
Now you need Leon Russell doing Jumping Jack Flash at the Bangladesh Aid Concert
My kid was in science class, teacher asked class to identify 3 gases. My boy shot his hand in air, teacher called on him.... boy says oxygen, helium and Jumping Jack Flash!!!!
Re Honky Tonk Women - This is the studio instrumental recording with some vocal dubbing but not all.
The first one is Buddy Guy.
I have a bootleg called 'Liver Than You'll Ever Be'. At the time (68-69) it was only the second live album of the Stones available so sold very well, hence why Jagger wanted this album released.

You have to know who Buddy Guy is. ;>)
Thanks. Really loving your reactions.
There's another verse to Honky Tonk Women that's kinda wilder.
Audio from Honky Tonk... is the original studio recording.
This is Muddy's defining song, but Willie Dixon actually wrote it. He wrote a few songs for Muddy.
Not, "what a guy", his name is Buddy Guy, a great blues guitar player and singer.
Stones have their own version of Manish Boy on the album Love You Live
And of course, the Rolling Stones took their name straight from the Muddy Waters' song.
Absolutely ❤
The definitive version o' Jumpin' Jack Flash is: (Official Music Video)(With Makeup)...One viewin' 'n you'll see what I'm talkin' 'bout.
Did you say that Jumpin jack Flash from Bridges to Buenos Aires was blocked? Shame as I really dig that version.

Keith was probably 50 on Honkytonk Women.
Mannish boy is with MUDDY WATERS. Mick, Keith, Ronny Wood, are sitting in.
you've got to see the stones official live video from texas 1972 of ALL DOWN THE LINE. you won't be sorry.😎
No Bill and Charlie in the 1981 video. Don’t think they even came. It was the house band.
Reaction to Buddy Guy would be awesome!
If you liked this you would probably like "Howlin' Wolf London Sessions" with Charlie Watts, Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, and others.
Now do yourself a favor and go react to Leon Russell's version of Jumpin' Jack Flash / Youngblood from the Concert for Bangla Desh, George Harrison's ground breaking fund raiser.
Did you see Mick Jagger get off stage by Muddy Waters?
I thought Mick's bright orange choice was dumb ! ? 😹
Cool at the time. Not that I owned one :-).
On "Jumpin' Jack Flash", the only reason it sounded so good was because Mick Taylor played in the band then. It was his first live gig. The Stones were never a good live band until Taylor joined the group. Thats a fact! Brian Jones or Keiffer could never play that good!
No way that was TOTP's.....good though!
It was! That’s what the copyright claim said too lol
Some of The greatest Blues players in history on the same stage, and the rolling stones are there too.🤣
