Muddy Waters/Italy 1976

This is a complete recording of two live shows, both from Turin, Italy on November 11th, from the 1976 European tour, recorded on soundboard from a broadcast recording. The performance was in the 70s, when he was at the peak of his career, and his slide playing, which was directly descended from Robert Johnson, had reached a new level. This was also the year he appeared on The Band's "The Last Waltz," and the following year he released "Hard Again," his first album in a long time, and toured in collaboration with Johnny Winter and James Cotton. This was a time when his energetic activities were the talk of the town, and this is a valuable record that captures the brilliant moments of this great blues artist at the peak of his career.
