I'm no historian but I saw, to the best of my knowing, Muddy, James Cotton, Willie Dixon, Who knows some of the others' identity? Can someone 'tag' this vid?

Nice find, Nick. I see a few familiar faces that I can't put a name to, but in addition to Java's, I'll add Brownie McGhee (01:58) and Sonny Terry (02:28).

Who's the women sitting next to Brownie?

Gloth, I think it's because he's being taped, not because they're a bunch of jerks.

Strange video for sure....filming the audience instead of the performance. Maybe it was a recording session so no applause?

After that second tune I will take a wild guess that Roger Miller had a few of Fuller's records laying around.

I went to Big Joe Williams house in 1976. He lived in Crawford ,Mississippi. Its a town of about 600 people. It also produced N.F.L Hall of Famer Jerry Rice. His health was starting to fail him but he played his trusty nine string for us about an hour or so. He was quite the character. We each gave him a few bucks for his time.

I'm surprised they had reverb in the tv studio.
Most local TV studios didn't have the best audio back then. Usually dry as all heck.
