Muddy Waters & Mike Bloomfield "Long Distance Call"

The concert is very informal. At the beginning of track 2, everybody comes in to greet the “Father” – Muddy Waters. Dr. John even hands over a Mojo.
Bloomfield is the only one on all tracks. He plays more rhythm than lead, but has a couple of short solos. Johnny Winter’s playing is very good and he gets the chance to sing one of Muddy Waters’ songs (8). A fine video with lots of legends.
