Album Notes: This digitally-remastered release features 18 tracks by legendary bluesman Muddy Waters, including \"Mannish Boy,\" \"Nine Below Zero,\" \"I'm A King Bee,\" and \"Baby Please Don't Go.\"
Advantages: Too many to list - see the review! Disadvantages: Could cause the urge to spend money, lots of money!
...(There are so many versions of this recording that this is not a definitive list - the DVD audio includes more tracks for example. (I only suggest buying the remaster editions in whatever format, though)).

...and with the amplifiers turned right up, you genuinly do feel like your there yourself.
Im not an owner of many live efforts, as most of the bands that I like are yet to produce one. But as far as Muddy Banks goes its an experience that you need to behold, because you would be missing out on Kurt and Co. at their true best, and even if you don't particularly like Nirvana, you must appreciate one of the most influential bands at their greatest in a time when music actually was about the music, and not the image. Other mentionable songs would have to be Milk It and Been A Son, which both, as all the others do, make you feel genuinly thrilled to love the band so much.
I personally would rate this right up there with Nevermind and In Utero, because it means as much to me personally as the studio albums, because it is the greatest songs in the best...

It's now or never, we talk before a tear is shed
under your spell and over my head
You took me in your arms and you told me
We don't need to worry, but you
you never say your sorry'
My Lover's Prayer
------------------------
This track is about how the singer has an undying love...
