I just finished reading two bios, one about Little Walter and the other about Muddy Waters. Muddy asked that his red tele be buried with him. It wouldn't quite fit, so they broke the neck and put the two pieces inside the casket.
@goodymagoo He definitely switched to a G Harp to play in 1st position... at 2:18, you can see Jerry put his C harp down on his amp, and pick up the other harp.... you could still use a C harp since the song is in G... try your G harp at 2:48 and see... have fun !
@goodymagoo Playing blues in 1st position, especially the way Jerry is playing in both the upper and lower octaves, is harder than playing in 2nd position, generally speaking... at least for me...
that isnt' paul butterfield, ti is jerry portnoy,, he has a picture on harp junction where it shows got my mojo working and that is him in the background playing with muddy waters,, it looks to be the same day. the harp players certianly look the same so it has to be jerry portnoy.
Check out my version, of course I'm no Muddy or Louis Jordan, but I love the song. I agree this is a good band, but I like the original line-up w/ Jimmy Rogers, Otis Spann and Little Walter.
Jerry Portnoy on the bluesharp one of the most understimated harpplayers! This man is one of the best!
How can anyone not like this ???
Great great song by a great great band.
RIP PINETOP PERKINS. Today you'll play again Caldonia & Kansas City with Muddy!!!!
Thanks for sharing this.
What a perfomance!
Amazing Harmonica!!
Jerry Portnoy is just fantastic!
Awesome clip, just wish there were one just like it plus James Cotton. Thanks a ton!
AWSOME PERFORMANCE!!

Isto e puro blues grande muddy wadhers
What a graet find...Pinetop is still playing that piano. Steady Rollin' Bob Margolin sounds great too!
all the best! amazing!
Hey thanks I appreciate it!
No one does this song like Louis Jordan who first recorded it. I have yet to hear anyone hit that high note Louis does!!
hell yea!!
yeah!!
He is Mr Bob Margolin, a great guitar player! ;-)
I went to high school with Bob and Ron Levy who played piano for B.B. King
37 seconds in... woowwwwww
listen to the first 10-15 seconds as Pine Top Perkins gets it moving :)
waaaA!!!
@MuddyBoy61 Don't forget Luther "Guitar Jr" Johnson, who plays a strat too!
@cedricleecason Yes, song is in G... Jerry plays a C harp in 2nd position, then switches to a G harp in 1st position at around 2:48... so good !
@MuddyBoy61 steady rollin!
Mos Def, does a real nice version of this song in the movie Lackawanna Blues.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
:)
Who is the guy with the strat?
No. It's Jerry Portnoy
Yes, he is the great Pinetop Perkins
This is a good song to french harp too. Jerry portnoy kicks butt
@grenda5 He is Jerry Portnoy, and... yes indeed
@1957fenderstrat - It's Luther Guitar Junior Johnson

@melpomenhmad doesn't matter.... music (especially blues) ain't no competition ;)

What Key is he playing in on the harmonica?
2:15
who ever need the guitar solo tabs,
contact me,i found the tabs by ear
that isnt' paul butterfield,
ti is jerry portnoy,, he has a picture on harp junction where it shows got my mojo working and that is him in the background playing with muddy waters,, it looks to be the same day.
the harp players certianly look the same so it has to be jerry portnoy.
FUZZ RULES!!
its pretty much standard blues. except the turnaround is a 2-5-1. so if it is in G the turnaround bit would be A-D-C.
who is the key board player and is he the same guy who helps muddy sing this on the album?
any1 knows how to play it? I'm a newbie guitar player. Is it G, C, D?
after 10 years
i think you become a pro now
Check out my version, of course I'm no Muddy or Louis Jordan, but I love the song.
I agree this is a good band, but I like the original line-up w/ Jimmy Rogers, Otis Spann and Little Walter.
whos the pianist?
Pinetop Perkins.
thank you sir!
Visionary Joe Willie "Pinetop" Perkins
thanks guys!! he is sick!!!
You always knew it was going to be a great show if Pine Top was in the house .
CALDONIA?!?
Nope. That's Jerry Portnoy.
Not the best audio on this clip, but fantastic regardless.
And that's Paul Butterfield on the harp
Jery portonoy on harp!
Jerry portnoy at his best
I BELIEVE THE HARP PLAYER IS PAUL BUTTERFIELD
If you think this is good, listen to the Hollywood Fats band do it!
i think butterfield did better on the record than portnoy did live.
I wish gen-xers displayed real music talent today. All this hip hop rap BS sucks big tyme.
