Drummer reacts to "Can't Find My Way Home" & "Dear Mr. Fantasy" by Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood

Thank you to our alpha patron Joel for this moving pick... what a one-two punch of songs. That was incredible. My favorite rendition of "Can't Find My Way Home" so far! My god. That was awesome. All these years later... and they still were rockin' together. I love it.

Steve Winwood has such a distinctive voice, just love anything he does.

[@jaycorby]

`My God! These two could play and sing together. Masters of their craft. The world would be a darker place without them.

[@climber4434]

Steve Winwood has such an amazing voice that he could sing the alphabet and it would be incredible

[@goonbelly5841]

Looks like a Grateful Dead album cover.

[@glenndespres5317]

Technology can definitely enhance artistry but there is just no substitute for an accomplished musician who is creative.

[@liannehoward4602]

There was an amazing benefit concert after Jim Capaldi died, and believe me, the version of Dear Mr. Fantasy that will melt your face. The entire concert is off the charts❤

[@lisarainbow9703]

This entire concert was pure magic, and is well worth watching. I was actually there , in the audience--- endless goosebumps all night. They opened with "Had to Cry Today", and Winwood's vocals sounded just as good as they did on the Blind Faith album. And when they played "Voodoo Chile", I SWEAR Hendrix was there, moving Clapton's hands. I'd NEVER heard Clapton sound like that before, it was Jimi in the house. All the hairs on the back of my neck were standing straight up.... Quite possibly the best concert of my life.

[@L33Reacts]

That sounds amazing I wish I could have been there too. I can’t wait to hear that then!

[@lisarainbow9703]

Wish you could've been there, too! Little bit of trivia, Winwood played Hammond organ on the original studio recording of Voodoo Chile on the Electric Ladyland album--- so getting to hear him play that LIVE with Jimi's spirit in the venue, was surreal. The air was crackling with energy. I remember looking at my boyfriend and saying, "I would've crawled, all the way from Chicago, to be here for this moment.." He grinned and said, "I would've pulled myself along by my lips..."😄 It was a truly historical event, as they hadn't been together playing Blind Faith material in nearly 40 years. So it was monumental, indeed.

[@glenndespres5317]

You are killing me. KILLIN’ ME! 😅

[@lathedauphinot6820]

Clapton wandered away from Steve Winwood and Blind Faith to join Delaney and Bonnie and Friends, the backup band on Blind Faith’s only tour. From that came Derek and The Dominoes, the “Layla” album, George Harrison’s ‘All Things Must Pass’, Clapton’s first solo record, Clapton’s fascination with JJ Cale, his recovery from heroin addiction and resumption of touring, and the Stones’ horn section. Clapton tried to make it up to Winwood years later with this tour, and this is a great album. Winwood picked Clapton’s songs, and Clapton picked Winwood’s. It works!

[@chitownlee]

Steve's one of my favorite hammond b3 player's, besides all his other talents.

[@Jonni1027]

Thank you again JOEL!! You’ve again tapped into my beloved youth❤😊

[@36karpatoruski]

There has never been and never will be music to equal the music of this era. Here’s to Joel - the BEST song requester anywhere on KZbin, you prove it every time! And Lee, you at the very pinnacle of reactors. Thank you for your most heartfelt and thoughtful reviews!

[@yankeeboyno7]

Thank you. I do try to bring it each time! It's also to create more rabbit holes for L33 to explore.

[@36karpatoruski]

@@yankeeboyno7 And a Yankee fan too! What on Earth is wrong with our team since June 15? Somebody flipped a switch? Gotta fix this.

[@L33Reacts]

I really appreciate that, thank you. I don’t know if I agree but I do put a shit ton of work in, I know that much lol but I have the best community I could ever dream of so it makes it a lot easier.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Nope it's his requester better than most but too many wimp boys have shitty taste

[@michaelkeefe8494]

This concert is great on film too. These MSG shows were their first appearance together since Blind Faith. To be honest, Winwood shows guitar chops here that I didn't know he had.

[@glenndespres5317]

My GOD this sounds sooo GOOD! Was not even aware this album existed. Thanks Joel! Thanks Lee!

[@yankeeboyno7]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@-R.Gray-]

To round out the Blind Faith material, which they had in common, they picked songs associated with the other person that they wanted to play. The most interesting to me was that Winwood had played organ on Hendrix's original "Voodoo Chile" (the slow blues one) - so Clapton tackled that. Then there is "Had To Cry Today" with both of them trading electric guitar riffs. (See the videos).

[@yankeeboyno7]

He did the Blind Faith album, but it was blocked so it is available on Patreon. Voodoo Chile by Jimi has been requested.

[@michaelkeefe8494]

They also did a nice version of Them Changes as Buddy Miles had just passed away.

[@Fuphyter]

Can't Find My Way Home played in my car as a teen a lot! Driving around high waiting to come down before going home. lol Beautiful song. My sis and entered a radio contest singing it. We came in 2nd!

[@corawheeler9355]

This was a real treat .. wish I could give multiple likes!

[@jenniferfoster1692]

Thank you!!! These are 2 of my favorite Steve Winwood songs!

[@leeannies-tears369]

My fav version too. My poor grandson will be sorry I heard this today... Lol I'll be singing "sing us a time, make it snappy" ... Lol all day long and he'll roll his eyes at me. Happens everytime. BUT I really love this

[@user-bh5jv8hi3b]

Your rant about the music business today is SPOT ON !

[@sydnoids1]

C-caine was one of his biggest hits in his career. When i was a teenager it was huge

[@janetcarlson9960]

Bonnie Raitt also does a lovely rendition of Can't find my way home with Lowell George

[@dannyd3337]

A great song. Blind Faith

[@billhawkins1236]

Steve's no slouch on guitar either. Saw him at Summer fest on top of a picnic table 😂

[@denniswatson455]

Watch the Woodstock 94 set of Steve and Traffic....amazing.

[@Fuphyter]

I saw Eric Clapton live in the 70s. Slow Hand tour. Great show!!!

[@sharondavid-melly1498]

Nomads in the hundreds, waves of us moving across the desert looking to the West Coast for "home" it was the Seventh Wave. Some of us were born nomads and learned that home is within on that string held, between heaven & earth. Took me too long to realize that every thing else is impermanent." Stay centered, stay in love, he told me and you'll always be home to make the fantasy real" On my way back from work grateful because you created this channel...lt was a magical time.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

DASHING THROUGH THE SNOW ....Snorting all the way

[@wiliamwidlacki7459]

Masters of thier craft, whats not to like!!!! Just awesome

[@dianegardner7210]

Love Steve Winwood-I think he’s brilliant

[@cletushouse906]

Thanks.

[@charliecochran3035]

Voodoo Chile, the 15 minute blues jam that is track 4 in Electric Ladyland, features Winwood on organ. It's simply the greatest thing ever recorded and a MUST listen. I don't care if you post a reaction as it seems like it's difficult to do, but listen to it and share your thoughts on it here. Winwood and Clapton are really a perfect team. Clapton has so much class and taste and Winwood has more of a loose, improvisational genius-like approach to go with that voice instrumental versatility. Edit... I also just realized something about his voice. One of the qualities is that he often sounds like he's singing with more than one voice. It's almost like a tight harmony coming from one person. Weird.

[@Humb7757]

Mesmerizing Blind Faith!!! And Steve Winwood’s Traffic!! Magnificent recording! (L33, you need to rediscover’ Live Cream’ vol 1-2… Eric Clapton…Was God those days)

[@hypno59]

You , my boy, have soul and sophistication and a great ear, the makings of a good musician, which the world needs more of, as technology levels the world of personality and expression and authenticity, with its flattening of the human experience. Spend as much time as you can with real performance. I kid you not, I know someone who traveled the Amazon on a canoe who quelled hostile reactions from the natives then developed serious bonds and friendships all by communicating through the playing of hand drums

[@carlnisbet1143]

I heard the Dead do Dear Mr Fantasy at MSG. It was an awesome rendition.

[@UFOS4]

Always loved Blind Faith and Traffic. This album is a whole new dimension! Outstanding! Than you Joel, thank you, Lee.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

But Delaney and Bonnie on tour with Eric Claptonneeds to be heard but won't cause the wimpy boys never request cause no balls and no knowledge of GREAT MUSIC like when requesters fumbled asking for Souther Hilman and Furay for POCO...HOW COULD YOU

[@DavidHughes-om7gy]

Sweet, ain't it!!!

[@mitchellbatchelor1594]

I like that you don’t always react to an artist best songs, but sooner or later you get to it. Patience.

[@L33Reacts]

lol I do tend to meander a bit but I get there eventually. Gotta cover all the bases to get a full understanding of the artist! 😊

[@bradjenkins1475]

So so so good.

[@mikeross14]

Just once: I wanna hear"Give Me some Lovin!" Steve's Hit at 17 years old! His Voice hasn't changed! His playing the Hammond B3 is killer! he was with Spencer ,Davis group!

[@yankeeboyno7]

That just may happen. Most likely next month as I believe his request plate is full for July and so are my PayPal requests.

[@mickell241]

keep on running.....

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Nope Poco with Rusty Young tuning his PEDAL STEEL GUITAR to sound like an organ

[@markhaus2830]

Lee.........This is also a DVD. That would have been the best one to play. Awesome to see them live. Have a great day!!

[@jessicalee7119]

Hey, Joel ~ thanks for this pick and I hope you're doing okay ~

[@yankeeboyno7]

Thank you!!

[@jurgenschmidt2759]

Please go back to Traffic somewhen. You should also listen to Dave Mason's contributions, they are equally as good as Steve's. For instance "Feelin' alright" or "You can all join".

[@acb9231]

Steve Winwood has such a soulful voice, one of my all time faves! For Clapton, check out anything from the Derek & The Dominos “Live at the Fillmore” album. IMO, that’s some of his best guitar work. For Winwood, check out “Empty Pages” by Traffic and “Keep on Running” by the Spencer Davis Group. You’re in for a real treat! ✌️

[@tigerpinky]

love this

[@damonhines8187]

At the end of '...Mr. Fantasy' they went into the intro to Clapton's version of Hendrix's 'Little Wing' from 'Layla...', which they also play on 'Eric Clapton's Rainbow Concert', a comeback (from heroin) album of sorts organized by Pete Townshend in the early 70s featuring those 3 plus Ronnie Wood and several other British rockers. My faves from that record include 'Roll It Over', 'Pearly Queen' and 'Presence of the Lord'.

[@loisrogers9042]

Someone mentioned Delaney and Bonnie. I used to love them! It's been so long since I heard them I can’t remember song titles ❤❤

[@Moz1011]

Derek & the dominoes Bellbottom Blues is a must hear.

[@Peter-oh3hc]

Oh yeah. You betcha!

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Nope POCO CMON way better

[@billhawkins1236]

That was awesome 🎉 For another version that's pretty rambunctious try the same tune from Welcome to the Canteen. Ut also kicks ass!

[@guitarman8462]

My fav on this live album is : Double Trouble

[@Debcatawba]

Winwood performs a great live version of Can’t Find My Way Home with Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers

[@clifton8929]

This was originally from the album BLIND FAITH - A band with Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood. Ginger Bakeer and Ric Grech. It would be best if you listened to HAD TO CRY TODAY & PRESENCE OF THE LORD. Or Steve Winwoods 'Arc Of The Diver' album - with NIGHT TRAIN, SPANISH DANCER 8 ARC OF THE DIVER. It is a hidden gem of his catalog. Thanks for all the hard work and time you put into your amazing channel.

[@stevemcmurtry1374]

fantasy !Thats Stevie on lead guitar on Mr. Fantasy

[@JohnLancaster-fh3oc]

Two great versions although I miss the harmonica in "Dear Mr. Fantasy."

[@bobmessier5215]

I suggest a Traffic live video of "John Barleycorn Must Die" .Circa 1970.

[@L33Reacts]

I’ve done it actually!

[@hopeklemann1]

🌸 great album cover art ....

[@DavidHughes-om7gy]

Steve is touring this summer with the Doobie Bros.ust see!!

[@user-dq5xx9hi4q]

Another great Winwood concert on video is the Soundstage performance. Do yourself a treat and check it out.

[@Ethelred77]

Forever man is a great song, you should definitely check it out!

[@CosmicVagabondPixie]

OMG OMG OMG how did i miss this! Two of My MOST **Cherished & Loved** songs EVER of ALL time **Dear Mr Fantasy** just cuz it is cool AF & **Steve Winwood** was a total babe when he made this (hint hint please react to the Live Version sometime maaaybe please) & **I Can't Find My Way Home** which literally Saved my Life & he was a Babe when he made that song as well so just freakin YAY i am SO very **Thankful & Grateful** for **Steve Winwoods** existence for the reason stated above & also just cuz musically he is an **Extraordinary Gift** to this CrAzYYY World

[@kristahartmann6712]

Voodoo CHILE or CHILD...not CHILI. Bless your heart. If you ever run across the live performance video of "Can't Find My Way Home" with Clapton & Winwood at Eric's Crossroads Guitar Fest...it also has Derek Trucks and Doyle Bramhall. It's perfection...

[@user-oe9hj9yl7m]

If you listen to the Blind Faith recording of this YOU HAVE TO DO the live one WITH THE VIDEO Lee

[@jimwillride]

❤

[@ralliswiesenthal3495]

Try some of the cuts from Jellyfish's two albums? One of the best Powerpop bands ever!!!

[@doughaviland1729]

I f you were to ask my sons what song was my favorite of all time they would instantly say CAN'T FIND MY WAY HOME!❤❤❤❤❤

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Jingle Bells...or CMON

[@jamescox4231]

Voodoo Chile as in "child" , not chile as in chili.

[@yankeeboyno7]

He's learning, cut him some slack :) It's on request, by the way.

[@glennmitchell9107]

I prefer Winwood's guitar work on other versions of this song to Clapton's on this version.

[@johnharkness7114]

Now you have to do Bonnie Raitt's version, the one with Lowell George backing her up. You have to skip ahead a few minutes, though, if you want to avoid the banter and the guitar tuning

[@timfedroff1359]

I know people have ask you about when you are going to check out Steely Dan. You are going to be so happy when you do.

[@L33Reacts]

@@timfedroff1359 huh?? I’ve done a steely Dan video every Sunday for a year lol i love the Dan

[@charleskurtz9744]

Some agrue about which band was the best. Was it Blind Faith? Or Cream? Or Derek and the Dominoes? Why argue? We have them all. And other incarnations.

[@Jonni1027]

I appreciated hearing what you called your “rant” about modern music vs the older music you played today for instance. I just plain don’t listen to enough of today’s music to really have much of an informed position on it, and all I know is I’m not impressed. So to hear you speak, a young person who adores and has adored music his whole life, I’m getting a clearer picture of why I just can’t get excited about popular music these days…and your point about greed being a large factor makes a lot of sense. Now it mostly all sounds like a just do it cheap and easy approach. Disappointing for sure😢❤

[@L33Reacts]

I’m not impressed either. We can do way better. But this era was a firestorm of creativity that only comes around every century or so in art. A revolution, shall we say. We need one today more then ever but I don’t see it happening until a lot of things that aren’t pretty come to pass.

[@andrijbondarenko3273]

Glad you clarified the fact you were talking about radio. There's much great music out there. Spafford , Goose, String Cheese, Tedeschi Trucks Band. So many more.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Nope....

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

POCO

[@jessicalee7119]

That Blind Faith album was released in 1969. I was 13 years old and remember buying it. We more mature folks here grew up in a glorious time for music! Here's the Billboard Top 100 for 1969. It's amazing just how many different styles of music there was for us to listen to. Love it! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Year-End_Hot_100_singles_of_1969
