Muddy Waters The Rolling Stones - Mannish Boy - Live At Checkerboard Lounge (1981)
From Leo AI: On November 22, 1981, The Rolling Stones joined blues legend Muddy Waters on stage at the Checkerboard Lounge in Chicago for a legendary impromptu jam session. Occurring during the Stones' American tour, the band visited the club owned by Buddy Guy to see Waters perform. The night escalated when Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, and pianist Ian Stewart were invited onstage, later joined by Buddy Guy and Lefty Dizz.
The performance of "Mannish Boy" is particularly notable, showcasing the Stones reverting to "fanboys" as they played alongside their idol. Despite being 68 years old and in declining health, Waters delivered a powerful, electric performance, treating the rock stars as equals while commanding the stage with undeniable authority.
