5.0 out of 5 starsThe Chicago Blues cousin to "Wattstax."
By Andre M. on September 27, 2004
Format: DVD
While not of a singluar music event, this film takes you on a look of not only blues music in Chicago but a look at life in the Chiago ghettoes in 1972. Well--known bluesmen such as Muddy Waters and Junior Wells perform as well as talk about their life, music , and what it all represents (Muddy in particular is quite articulate and locquaious) and we have some addditional insights from Dick Gregory. Like it's west coast cousin "Wattstax," "Chicago Blues" is a good sociological, as well as musical document.

3.0 out of 5 starsA few great performances buried in here
By Harry Knobb on December 29, 2010
Format: DVD
Pros
- great live performances by Buddy Guy, JB Hutto and John Lewis
- interesting Muddy Waters interview and partial performance
- Maxwell Street footage
- Bonus Material: voice over commentary by filmmakers (it was great this is included; provides context)

Cons
- Socio-Political oriented agenda overwhelms the editing, narration (eg, a lot of shots of gritty urban Chicago c.1970, many times editied into a live performance by a great musician)
- Grainy visuals (hey this footage is 40 years old)
- Bonus Material: voice over commentary by filmmakers (put me to sleep in spots)

5.0 out of 5 starsChicago Blues DVD
By Gerald Shone on July 2, 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I chose the highest rating for this DVD because it features many of the greatest legends of the blues speaking about their lives and why they loved the blues. Though this documentary DVD was made 40 years ago, the energy of the performances of legends such as Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy and Junior Wells still resonates today.

Great insight into Chicago Blues at the time.
Can anyone tell me who the artist is that plays the groovin' instrumental during the freeway scene in this film?
