Muddy's solo was a supreme example of sublime creativity. The way he received his applause was so graceful and humble. A truly exceptional human being :))))
Phenomenal display of his prowess! Just molten slide play by Waters! And you can see and feel that he is still a heart and soul blues man to the core. Love how he encourages his guitarists in their solos! First Primer , an ace, with an incredibly beautiful tone, then Kreher with some very tasty licks. Such humbleness and generosity belie the confidence of a master with nothing to prove.

Anyone who likes this and wants to hear Muddy live in his prime, check out "Live at Mr Kelly's" recorded in 1971 in a small club in Chicago, no Stones guesting just great solid blues from the master.
F da stones muddy jus tolererated em..good fo bizness!!! BTW he let my lil brother sit in on harp back in 72 Santa Cruz California, did " Caledonia" n improv instrumental loves ya Mudd you the greatest n a good generous man! RIP
Wasn't too impressed with his solo but he has potential. His tone was very meh. Lot of notes not a great pocket and not really letting the solo breath. Seemed very noodley and without intention. Needs to unleash that guitar.
