Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood: Can't Find My Way Home
For some reason this video deleted itself after I posted it. Here it is restored.
The accompanying text, which also disappeared, said something to the effect that it was Steve Winwood's performance at Eric Clapton's 2007 Crossroads Guitar Festival (see also Dear Mr Fantasy), along with the 1967 Spencer Davis Group concert from Finnish television (try Georgia on my Mind), that led me to rediscover Steve Winwood.
I saw him on Thursday at the Cropredy Festival.
ReplyDeleteFine voice but unfortunately he stuck to his more recent material which is a bit bland for my tastes.
I did think of going myself, but the call of Swindon proved too alluring.
ReplyDeleteSaw Steve in Germany last month, he played a mixture of new and old songs, the elderly crowd (including my woman and me) were very happy with that.
ReplyDeleteThw supporting act was young blues giant Joe Bonamassa from NY, who joined Steve and his band for two songs, it was a fantastic evening...
We all hope that Steve will return to Europe next year - hopefully with Eric Clapton!
I really enjoy Steve's earlier material from the 1960's and 1970's and then once again in the early 90's. I hope to see Steve and Eric play together, they are both amazing talents.
