Johnny Winter and Muddy Waters
Philadelphia 
Live at the Tower Theater,
Upper Darby, Philadelphia, PA
March 6, 1977.
Very good soundboard.

Inclduing art work.

Some notes that came with the show:

After playing "Rock and Roll" for several years, in 1977 Johnny Winter returned to his musical roots: playing the real blues. His stage shows become calmer; he ceased to jump around from one side of the stage to the other; while playing rough guitar riffs. Now he remained seated, close to the mike. For recordings he used the notorious all metallic self-made John Velano guitar with the thin silver neck.

And an excerpt of an interview with Muddy Waters (February 27, 1977):

Tim: [Johnny Winter] is a relative newcomer to the blues compared to you.

Muddy: Yeah, definitely. He's a young boy, compared to me. But he learned under my records, and people like me. But he mostly studied my records when he was a kid coming up. And a lot of more of 'em did too.

'Cause see, Johnny, he loves me, because he learned a lot of things under my music. He likes me personally as a friend. So when he heard that we wanted him to produce the record and all - Man, that was just what he wanted. It's like a little family thing we got. So we did good over there. This is the fourth one out, and we done won three Grammy awards. Every one we put out, we win. This might be the one this time, who knows.
