MUDDY WATERS & THE ROLLING STONES


Here's Muddy Waters performing with the Rolling Stones at the Checkerboard Lounge in 1981. The Stones owe plenty to Muddy, including their very name, which came from his song "Rolling Stone." Here they sing a blues song about a couple of their favorite pastimes, "Champagne and Reefer." (The cameraman obviously had too much of one or the other, or maybe both, but it's worth risking vertigo to hear this historic jam...enjoy!)
