ROLLING STONES & MUDDY WATERS Live At The Checkerboard '81 (2012 US Special Edition 3-disc [2LP/DVD] set. On the 22nd November 1981, in the middle of their mammoth American tour, the Rolling Stones arrived in Chicago prior to playing 3 nights atthe Rosemont Horizon. Long influenced by the Chicago blues, the band paid a visit to Muddy Waters' club the Checkerboard Lounge to see the legendary bluesman perform. It didn't take long before Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and IanStewart were joining in on stage and later Buddy Guy and Lefty Dizz also played their part. It was a unique occasion that was fortunately captured on camera. Now, restored from the original footage and with sound mixed and mastered by Bob Clearmountain, this amazing blues night is being made available in an official release for the first time. Comprised of a 2-LP set pressed on 180gram Heavyweight Audiophile Black & White Vinyl, within a three panel gatefold picture sleeve with a Bonus NTSC DVD held in the middle panel. Although not sealed, this example remains in a 'near as new' condition EV305539)
