On November 22, 1981, in the middle of their mammoth American tour, the Rolling Stones arrived in Chicago prior to playing 3 nights at the Rosemont Horizon. Long influenced by the Chicago blues, the band paid a visit to Buddy Guys club the Checkerboard Lounge to see the legendary bluesman perform. It didnt take long before Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Ian Stewart were joining in on stage and later Buddy Guy and Lefty Dizz also played their part. It was a unique occasion that was fortunately captured on camera. Airing November-December 2012 onmost PBS stations (check your local listings at pbs.orgtvschedules).

  3. An absolutely priceless piece of history! The melding of the new phenomenon and the old master. It doesn’t get any better.

  4. Oh, yes, us. We’re so horrible. Pointing out the nature of reality and such. How trite. We used to have to browbeat people in person; we can now do it from the comfort of our own homes.

  5. It’s just music. Where did ‘black’ R&B come from? Who invented the instruments? The means to record?

  6. real musicians dont see those things, because they know where real talent comes from..
