Personally I think Steve maybe the most underrated musician of all time he’s phenomenal

[@davidkavanagh8175]

Couldn't agree with you more, been a BRUMMIE, myself he's a humble man, and never looks for recognition, respected by all true musicians and possibly the most talented out of the bunch, JACK BRUCE, CLAPTON, GINGER BAKER, JEFF BECK, as the man was a fantastic piano player. ONLY MY OWN OPINION, 👍👍👍

He's been doing it all since the Spencer Davis Group days when he was the ripe old age of 15 or so. I think he's my age, 75, with a very distinguished musical following. He music is part of the soundtrack to my life.

[@theayatollahofrockandrollah]

you're right man...have you seen him in front of the fireplace doing can't find my way home acoustic? there you can also just see the pure talent. I did however notice he tuned his guitar a full step down for that 'cause maybe his voice is a tiny bit lower 'cause of aging vocal chords or something...

dont want to trash talk todays music... the thing is nowadays no musician is able to bring me to tears like this, uncontrollable tears of all the emotions that i feel at the same time listening to this music

[@TheEdge92]

Though you do know that this is not Steves track, do you? It's a traffic song.

[@65byteme]

@@TheEdge92 You do know Winwood and Chris Wood composed the music with Capaldi wrting the lyrics. Which was the case for much of Traffic's sucess. Since Wood died in '83 of liver failure I'm guessing it's his, (Winwoods), song at this point.

[@jeffreypetro3803]

The music today has so little to say, the 60s & 70s artists actually had something to say, reflections to share...

[@williamdittmar6450]

Steve is so so professional but still so full of soul and love....almost makes me tear up..music is so healing when played like this

[@BrianGreen-vo7hq]

You are truly blessed. That was well said. You recognize real feelings thru the music that has been given to us to love and appreciate.

[@jeffreypetro3803]

Winwood played this summer tour 2024, played @DeerCreek opening for Doobie Brothers. Both played great! What a blessing to have been raised among this music & these musicians. Not only did Winwood play a fantastic set of great hits, he looks so healthy & young for his age. No other period had the depth of music we enjoyed in the 60s & 70s. Truly blessed to have been there

No pretentiousness. No ego. Just a nice guy and one of the best and most versatile musicians to come out of our generation.

He’s the guy Hendrix said could hang with him. A true prodigy. Think of how old he was when he fronted for The Spencer Davis Group. Truly under rated musician and vocalist.

And as some guy said in some other comments, he is so fuckin cool it makes you jealous.

[@zyphod]

Cycling one day last year around where I live here in the UK, I came across these two guys leaning on a gate looking at some land chatting away. Getting closer I recognised one of them to be the one and only Stevie Winwood. Knowing he lived in this area, I guessed this must be part of his land and he was probably discussing farm business. As I passed I nodded and said, "Morning Mr Winwood, lovely land almost a fantasy" and gave a wink! He looked up but said nothing, just nodded and grinned........Made my day.

Sou rokeiro mais velho, portanto posso dizer que vocês tem toda razão. Winwood fez Clapton acreditar que deveria cantar com a voz de cantor negro do Mississip.

Steve Winwood is een van mijn muzikanten die ik bewonder omdat ze door allerlei drugs verleidingen in het zadel zijn gebleven, nu in deze tijd hun muzikale sporen hebben verdiend vooral omdat ze van de natuur konden genieten, kortom ze hebben veel uit de 60 en 70 jaren meegemaakt, maar zijn nooit ten onder gegaan omdat hun liefde voor de natuur hem en vele andere uit deze mooie tijdsperiode toch de overhand gaf om naar het ware terug te keren namelijk de natuur. De zwakke broeders in deze jaren kwamen er niet meer uit door hun gemis en achtergrond die ik absoluut niet veroordeel.

Saw him with Traffic at Winterland in SF. I will never forget that concert, and I saw many there. It started in the dark, with random notes being played by the band. Then, somehow the notes gradually morphed into the beginning of Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. Stevie had a way of playing that was so melodic. His notes were few, but put together so beautifully. You didn’t want the song to stop! We do not see talent like that today.

[@jaycorby]

Michael Guidera - I've followed Steve W. my entire adult life from age 24 to now ( just turned 77 ). All of his work is superlative, and on top of that he seems like a very nice guy.

Traffic and Blind Faith made the best music I’ve heard in my life.Since 1975 when I heard both bands first time I’ve never felt that there is something better. I love Led Zeppelin, Free or Jimi Hendrix, but Traffic and Blind Faith made something really special.

+ Cream... 👍

[@chrismaggio7879]

I just love how he "introduces" him after the song... cracks me up.

[@kelymorningjazz4444]

Saw this guy in 1981, awsum! So greatful to still be around to enjoy it!

[@PatrickConway-n2i]

Right @classygary, This Guitar Solo by Winwood can't be topped.

[@josephburgess7433]

No ego bullshit just a real musician. With him the music comes first. Forget the hair, clothes and make-up. It's the music and that's that.!!!

[@susanholland2619]

Thank you Stevie, just thank you, you’ve just flown me back to the 1970’s.

I truly believe that his voice got better as he got older.

[@EC_IS_Here]

Both drummers are just rockin’ out, the bass player is is lookin’ at Steve like “ok you got it,” & the background singers are just smiling & clapping for everyone…fuckin’ love it!

[@ShereeBarrow-dz3ws]

Kicking a$$ and taking names.

[@richardhoner7842]

Amazing. Has to be the best rendition ever. I've seen him play this in concert a few times and it never touched this level. Masterful!

[@djdrmatt1495]

This is great for sure, but for me Traffic at the Santa Monica, CA Civic Center 2/21/72 is the definitive live version - kzbin.info/www/bejne/poS0YpShepd2ma8

[@cswain339]

A song of reflection in the midst of MADNESS

[@irenepapson3949]

A true legend! True to himself, true to his fans! And a great musician - no fluff - only real
