Aunque Wates continnuo grabando y realizando conciertos hasta su muerte en 1983, muchos consideran la banda presentada en este tour como una de las mas finas que el lidero.
Con George Harmonica Smith en armonica, Luther Georgia boy Johnson y Muddy mismo en guitarra, la banda hallo una nueva audiencia entre la comunidad hippie de San Francisco.


Opening with the instrumental "Chicken Shack� blues romp, this show is radically different than the other sets played during this run. Included here is "Long Distance Telephone Call,� which was one of Waters� earliest sides for Chess Records, originally released in 1951. Also included is his classic "Hoochie Coochie Man,� which hundreds of blues rock artists have covered, including Jimi Hendrix. The highlight of the show, unquestionably, is the classic "Trouble No More,� which Waters sings with a true Delta Blues growl. The blues standard is immortalized on the first Allman Brothers Band album three years later, but their version is no match to Waters� original trademark sound. Another fun song is Waters� rendition of the R&B classic, "I�ll Go Crazy,� which was a hit for James Brown and The Moody Blues in the U.K., circa their 1965 Go Now period.


Como m ,uchas de las grabaciones en vivo de Muddy, esta es una presentacion que dista de ser perfecta. La guitarra ligeramente desafinada, y no siempre las palabras correctas, pero ¿A quien le importa?. Este es el testamento del talento de un real pionero del blues de chicago.
