Album DescriptionThe postwar Chicago blues scene without the magnificent contributions of Muddy Waters is absolutely unimaginable. From the late ?40s to the time he passed away in 1983, he eloquently defined the city?s aggressive, swaggering, Delta-rooted sound with his declamatory vocals and piercing slide-guitar attack.
This is one of the best live collections of Muddy Waters ever assembled. His songs have been recorded by such artists as The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, The Animals, Van Morrison, George Thorogood, and Canned Heat.
All Night Long Live! features such classics as "(I?m Your) Hoochie Coochie Man," "Rollin? And Tumblin?," "Honey Bee," and "Got My Mojo Working."
This live collection features Muddy Waters at three distinct periods in his career: 1964, 1966 and the late 70s. His band from May 1964 and 1966-67 includes Otis Spann on piano. The late 70s recordings feature his regular touring band, including piano player Pinetop Perkins and drummer Willie "Big Eyes" Smith.
