Cheaply packaged live Muddy....but it's still really good,
By
This review is from: In Concert (Audio CD)
This latter-day live recording, released in 199 by Prestige jazz and in 2000 by Prestige Elite, has also been issued by Hallmark (under the title "Live").There are absolutely no liner notes, but judging from the repertoire it is probably about 1980. The sound is good, in spite of a little distortion from time to time; Muddy Waters is in fine shape, and the band is top-notch, featuring a superb Pinetop Perkins rolling the ivories. (And now you're thinking "how does he know? He just said there were no liner notes!" Well, fortunately Muddy is kind enough to call Joe Perkins by name.) The highlights are many...a great, swinging "Corrine, Corrina" with a wonderful solo by Pinetop Perkins, fine renditions of "Caldonia", "Hoochie Coochie Man" and "Blow Wind Blow", and some excellent lesser known songs, including the jazzy instrumental "Floyd's Guitar Blues", the slow, anguished "Screamin' And Cryin'" with howling slide guitar by Waters, a groooooovy "Soon Forgotten", and a delightful little 70s gem, the funky "Garbage Man".

One of the best live albums.......Ever!,
By James Baack "I'm Mad, Bad and Dangerous To Know!" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In Concert (Audio CD)
The true beauty of this album is the pure rawness and lousy recording. The distortion and feedbacks only add to its luster.If you play this album and close your eyes, you will be transported to an outdoor blues festival somewhere, (Probably Chicago). You can just smell the Bar-B-Ques smoke and and scent of beer while Muddy Waters and his band crank out this list of blues standards. The speakers just crackle with energy and make it imposible not groove on this. There are no overdubs or engineering on this album to polish it up. It is recorded as it happened and gives it a true definition of "Live". This album is highly recommended for any blues fan or anyone who enjoys live music. 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful

Live and Unknown,
By James Mann - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In Concert (Audio CD)
It's definitely Muddy, but from when and where is anyone's guess. 11 cuts ranging from "Corrina, Corrina" to "Mojo", this is a pretty well recorded set, but without credits, it's hard to tell from what period of Waters' career this is taken from- I would guess the '70's, but who knows. Still, ain't nothing wrong with live Muddy Waters, no matter how you find it.
