You are so right! 74 in May, I still listen to Stevie Winwood and Robert Plant every day. Came across an RP interview recently where he mentioned first hearing 14 year old Stevie singing with the Spencer Davis Group. At the time, RP, also 14, was working part-time at Woolworth's to pay for his record habit. 💙🎶💙

This music was the backbone of the great societal change we all witnessed back then and all the way up until recently. We're gonna need another musical revival to put society back together again. Remember our times, preserve our times but be sure to embrace the younger generations and guide them as we were once guided.

I said even though I hate being the age I am, I wouldn't trade growing up in the 70's (teenager) & 80's (20's) for nothing.

Steve Windwood has always been underrated as a multi-faceted musician.

[@HoustonRebel]

@nukKkinfigGgeR He was well known in my generation as a good musician, but not to the full extent. I wasn't part of my generation. I was a teen in the 80s but my soul has always been in the 70s and 60s. So to my generation (not me) he was only known as a good singer/musician. And to even younger people, no one knows who the hell he is. That's what I meant by 'underrated'. Even my generation doesn't (or didn't) know about The Spencer Davis Group or Blind Faith or Traffic. They just know "Roll With It", "What The Night Can Do", etc. Songs he made in the 80s. They don't know what a great keyboardist, guitarist, vocalist, etc. he was.They don't know that he played most of the instruments on "When You See A Chance To Make It" and that he was only 17 when Spencer Davis discovered him. More people know about Paul McCartney and John Lennon although Winwood was just as good. That's what I meant by underrated. There, fixed it for YOU. LOL.

[@HoustonRebel]

@nukKkinfigGgeR I guess what I mean in a nutshell, is that he's underrated to younger people, in comparison to the other British Invaders of the mid 60s.

​@NSPIREGuru Keith moon had more talent in one finger....

[@NSPIREGuru]

@@Patricia-pq4jq I'd dispute that, but regardless of whether it's true or not, Ginger will always be my favorite. Both guys were absolute mad men but are difficult to compare beyond that, as if they were playing different instruments entirely. Keith may have had more punch, and played drums in an intuitive way almost as if they were a melodic instrument. Maybe we call that natural talent, maybe we call it lack of training coupled with unbridled ambition. Ginger was certainly more technically proficient, and had more a more sophisticated grasp of time signatures and jazz embellishment. He was a more disciplined player. Both guys were amazing. I can think of a dozen songs where I thought to myself, "Damn, Keith Moon is amazing!" or "Damn, Ginger Baker is amazing!" However, thinking of both of them at once, I can only think of the differences, I can't think of any similarities except that they were drummers for two of my favorite bands - and two bands with little similarity, Cream and The Who. Clapton and Townsend - very different guitarists. Bruce and Entwistle - very different bass players. Baker and Moon - very different drummers.

One of the great rock songs, it will be played and covered forever. Part psychedelic, part gospel, so full of spiritual longing - Winwood was an old soul in a young body when he wrote this.

Wonderful footage, they were a real super group in my youth. Great to see Clapton playing a Telecaster and not his usual Strat, Ginger Baker, surely one of the worlds a finest ever drummers looking as he did like the wrath of God and that unique voice that can only be Steve Winwood. Love it….

[@bluesky6361]

You realize that this Telecaster had a Stratocaster neck, right?

[@timrobwall]

As great as this is, and don’t get me wrong I’m super grateful something like this exists, the camera work is frustrating. It’s done by someone who doesn’t understand what’s going on musically, which was typical for a lot of concerts filmed in the late 60s/early 70s. We see more of Ric Grech’s bass guitar and Ginger’s foot action on the kick than Clapton playing his tasty solo.

Back in the day when folks shared the same common interest, everybody got along, sharing was common as was having a good time listening to musicians who only used their instruments and soul to create revolutionary works of art, many of whom could not read a note being self taught yet were ahead of their game, admission was 3 bucks and things were much simpler, and folks used to smile, something you don't see much of these days, sad..

I was there. 19 yrs old, selling hash. It was a very hot day. Those summers...67, 68. 69, 70...were much hotter than they were anytime since. So much for the hoax of 'global warming.' I'd seen Cream and especially liked Ginger Baker and was interested in Blind Faith, the new so-called 'supergroup.' I remember being stuck near the back of the crowd and being disappointed. The sound system was under-powered. Couldn't hear them properly. I'd forgotten this till now. The film brought it back. Some of it. Wish I could remember more. It was an exciting, colourful time. Creative and expansive. Not like now.

Steve Winwood has had such an interesting career. The man is the absolute embodiment of a true musician. Its all about the music for him. Every famous musician in the world would make time to play with him. Jimi even wanted him. He is just simply brilliant imho.
