3.0 out of 5 stars Weak production values make this video for big fans only, November 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Live at the Chicago Fest (DVD)

The DVD PCM soundtrack had some crackles in it (for a few seconds in one spot) which weren't from the original tape. Might have been just a bad copy, I don't know. I don't have the ability to listen to the DD soundtrack, and hopefully it was done better. It was not Muddy's best performance, but had some good moments, especially after Johnny Winter came on stage. Really bad camera work, but you must consider the vintage. Colors were good, and definition probably as good as can be expected considering the age. We're lucky to have it on film at all. It was good of Pioneer to include footage which is in black and white. I assume some color footage is lost, and considering that the DVD is not as long as the time on the package indicates, I'm very glad it was included. Pioneer should have done a better job on the PCM soundtrack by reducing the tape noise and improving the equalization. The PCM soundtrack is fair at best. I'm hoping a better video, more fitting for the great Muddy is issued in the future, but if you're a big fan, you'll want this one, but it should have been budget priced.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not at his best, August 15, 1999

Muddy Waters has earned his status as a blues legend. BUT, this concert was poorly performed. At times, it looked as though the band didn't even want to be there, and they periodically became out of sinc and out of tune. Muddy did not put his all into his music, which was dissappointing because the whole point of the blues is to FEEL the music. Winter's appearance spiced it up a bit. It is worth having if you are a Muddy fan, Winters fan, or blues collector. For that reason alone, I give it a three. And, as the previous reviewer stated, it's a good thing his Chicago Blues Festival performance was recored at all.
