REVIEW: |
While waiting for 4Reel's improvement that was supposed to arrive as a bonus to the still unreleased, Houston 81 DVD, we are now reviewing Cat's Meow's version of this fantastic jam that happened one night in late November 1981 during a night off from the Stones stop at Chicago. At Buddy Guy's Checkerboard Lounge, Muddy Waters and his band were playing their set when most of the Stones (minus Wyman)and their entourage (B.Keys,Stu,Ian McLagan) and wives showed up at the club to eyewitness the master's performance. It is hard to say unexpected, since here we get glimpses of their arrival from outside the Lounge; anyway after awhile it is Muddy himself that calls on stage at first Mick Jagger, then Keith Richards, then Ron Wood and they perform some of Waters' blues classics. Afterwards Buddy Guy, Junior Wells and Lefty Dizz all join in and the jam goes on with Stu playing piano from "Next Time I see You" on. Unfortunately there is a 10 second blank screen right in the middle of the "Ugly Woman Blues" - Ron Wood slide solo, but this release is certainly an improvement though I hope a stereo version will surface. The image is sufficiently clear and in color to appreciate this historic event (not the only time a jam like that happened since it already happened in 1978), but any further improvement will be appreciated.
