Muddy Waters - 1981-03-28 - Beacon Theatre, New York, NY (SBD)

For all of its faults - and the list is pretty long - the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame occaisionally gets things right.  No better example is the 1987 induction class, which included several blues legends whose influence of rock & roll was profound - including Bo Diddley, BB King and Muddy Waters!

This soundboard recording captures Muddy at the Beacon on March 28, 1981, 43 years ago today. He gets some help from fellow bluesmen James Cotton and Johnny Winters.
