Muddy Waters and the Rolling Stones: Live at the Checkerboard Lounge

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

It is now star time. Are you ready?

And when I say star time, ladies and gentlemen,

I mean the one and only father of the blues, Muddy Mississippi Waters!

Thank you very much. And...

We are going to kind of break them down to the blues now.

Quiet it down a little bit,

a lot of understanding what I'm trying to say here.

Ladies and gentlemen, give my band a nice round of applause.

APPLAUSE

And we came over here to sing a few blues for you.

And I feel so good coming back to Southside Chicago to sing some

blues because I haven't been here for a long long time.

Pepper Lounge used to be my place up the street, you know.

So, I'm going to break it down and sing some blues for you.

We are doing it now.
