Muddy Waters had only recently completed his Australasia tour that had started in late April and finished in Perth on 11th May 1973. He arrived just two days later in Vancouver before performing five dates at the Whiskey-a-Go-Go in Los Angeles. Waters then made his way into a small downtown Denver nightclub called Ebbet's Field for five shows.

Klondike proudly presents a milestone in vintage blues with a rare and exclusive performance from Mississippi giants Muddy Waters and B. B. King. Sharing the stage for one night only, this 1973 joint appearance is finally available. Long considered to be a classic performance, but lost to time, Klondike brings you this inspiring performance with a fully re-mastered original FM broadcast.

In a perhaps misguided attempt to hook Muddy Waters up with the young audience that was into the psychedelic blues rock of Jimi Hendrix, Cream, and others at the time, Chess Records released Electric Mud in 1968. Electric Mud, which was either great or a complete disaster, depending on your tolerance for certain things, didn't fare that well commercially, but it did toss Waters' name out there into the rock world. Waters cut two albums the next year for Alan Douglas, who had produced both Last Poets and Hendrix, and was known to have an edgy approach to things in the studio. Waters was under contract to Chess, however, and he wasn't allowed to sing at the sessions, so he played guitar, and in case anyone forgot, he was a pretty fair slide player. The LPs were eventually released and attributed to the Muddy Waters Band (which, at the time, featured Mojo Buford on harmonica and Otis Spann on piano), with guitarist Luther Johnson fronting things and handling the vocals quite soulfully.In spite of the freaky psychedelic cover art, it's a rather straightforward set of well-done Chicago blues, free of fuzz and fuss. ~Steve Leggett

Muddy Waters was the man who electrified the blues--bringing the sound of the Mississippi delta to the mean streets of Chicago and giving it bite and kick with electricity, volume and a strong backbeat. This recording was made in the late 1960s or early '70s, and it's a fine slice of live performance by Muddy and one of his regular touring bands. Also included here on two songs is the unlikely guest star jazz trumpet legend Dizzy Gillespie. The recording quality is a bit spotty--do not expect super-perfect sound--and the band hits an occasional clinker, but this album is valuable as an example of how Muddy Waters and band really sounded live in front of an appreciative crowd. Waters is in fine voice, the band plays like the night and the harmonica playing (by Jerry Portnoy) is so sharp you could get yourself cut. A good deal at the price, for old fans of Muddy and as an intro to the Chicago blues style. ~AMG
