To hear those shows got to
Muddy Waters at Wolfgang's Vault
Available Muddy Waters concerts include:
- Three shows at The Fillmore 1966
- The Muddy Waters Blues Band at The Bottom Line, NY 1978
From the concert summary:
One of the most impressive and influential steps that Bill Graham took early in his career was to invite blues and rock & roll pioneers - such as Muddy Waters, James Cotton and Chuck Berry - to perform alongside up and coming, widely popular rock groups. The bold move helped not only to rejuvenate the careers of these landmark (and often unacknowledged) artists, but also exposed younger audiences and artists to their musical forbears often to profound effects.
The week prior to this run, Graham had promoted his first run ever at the new, larger Winterland venue with a bill featuring Jefferson Airplane, Paul Butterfield Blues Band and for the first time, Muddy Waters. This experimental decision was so well received that he booked the same lineup for another three-day run, beginning on this night, September 30, 1966.
