These stars are in fine form and having themselves a great time! Big Mama Thornton knows how to shake that booty as she belts it out, Big Joe sounds like his usual buoyant self and Muddy is in fine form. I also enjoyed the scene of Muddy talking in the car about his upbringing. Great upload, Phil B.!

@JimJam Yeah, it's a fun set. I have seen bits and pieces, but never the entire set. Good blues with performers in their prime!
