The Howlin' Wolf story on DVD is awesome, with great songs represented. The best clip, although sad, is the Wolf reprimanding Son House (also awesome; thanks for posting 'Death Letter') because he is drunk, belligerent, loud and incoherent as the band plays. Wolf basically tells him, with as much class as possible, that he is making a fool of himself because he only loves whiskey. You could tell that Wolf was disappointed that one of his heroes is ruining his rollicking set.

And my God, I've learned so much from Hubert Sumlin's playing with Howlin' Wolf. Great thread.
