[Harp-L] Re: Subject: The Last Waltz/Muddy Waters, Paul Butterfield

I'm sure this has been discussed here before my time, but I saw The  Last 
Waltz for the first time in its entirety a couple of days ago on  Flix.  The 1978 
movie featuring the 1976 final tour of Robbie Robertson's  The Band ....with 
their guests.  So many fabulous musical moments...some  interesting harmonica 
work (yes, even by Neil Young and Bob Dylan) ...but what  really stood out was 
Muddy Waters being backed up by Paul Butterfield.  In  living colour, instead 
of old black/white youtube videos...performing the entire  song of "Mannish 
Boy".
 
The video's worth getting for that performance alone, as well  as Robbie 
Robertson's reminiscence of their last meeting with Sonny Boy  Williamson shortly 
before his death.  Directed by Martin  Scorsese.  Incredibly good.
