Muddy Waters is truly a blues legend too great to be defined: a singer of awesome power and authority, a songwriter of dozens of blues classics and a slide-guitar master whose piercing tone influenced all who followed. Muddy Waters Classic Concerts, spanning seventeen years, captures Muddy in three legendary performances, proving why he was and still is the King of the Blues.NEWPORT JAZZ FESTIVAL - USA -JULY 3, 1960
Muddy Waters at Newport is widely considered one of the greatest live albums ever recorded. Now available for the first time are more than 26 minutes from that legendary concert with three songs synced up to the original stereo master tapes, plus two songs not on the album. This concert is the best example of Muddy's greatness ever to be captured on film. Includes the definitive version of "Got My Mojo Working", as well as "Rollin' Stone", "Mean Mistreater", "Going To Chicago Blues", plus two more.
COPENHAGEN JAZZ FESTIVAL - DENMARK - OCTOBER 27, 1968

MOLDE JAZZ FESTIVAL - NORWAY - AUGUST 1, 1977
30 years after his first record, Muddy still reigns as king of the blues in this 1977 concert. Now the elder-statesman, Muddy and his top-notch band tear through such classics as "Baby Please Don't Go", "Can't Get No Grindin'", "Prison-Bound Blues", and four more.
