    I have this DVD. It’s awesome. Some of the looks Muddy shoots Sonny Boy are pretty funny. That’s Willie Dixon on the bass.

      Thanks Dez. I couldn’t dig up any facts about this clip – do you have any info on the date it was recorded or the program it was recorded for?

        It’s on here:

        Buy from Amazon

        Filmed in Europe, (Germany I think) during the early 60s.

        I have two volumes and they are really amazing. All of the video and sound is really well preserved….There is some filler and some of the performers are no longer at the top of their game, but I def recommend.

        I was always interested in Otis Rush after Jimmy Page said he was a big influence. There is a performance of I Can’t Quit You…that shows why Page said that. And Howlin’ Wolf, T-Bone Walker, Junior Wells, and many more.
