I love the fact Steve is dressed like he came to the show from a backyard barbeque. His show is about the songs, the music. No costumes or makeup, no dance troupe, flash pots or laser light show. Just sit back and enjoy the music.

When Traffic released this song on their album Mr Fantasy it was the year I became a teenager ( my 13th birthday), 1967. I'm now 66 with three grown up kids and five grandchildren and this just seems like yesterday. The sixties were the best.

I wasn't a big fan of his 80's pop output (although Arc Of A Diver is enjoyable), but I adore the rest of his work, especially Traffic.

The original Steve Winwood and Traffic "Mr Fantasy" with Dave Mason on lead was a remarkable piece of music by Jim Capaldi, and at 70 , still my "Best of" from the Sixties, was 16 when it was produced, life was "pretty interesting" in Berkeley at the time, for all of us really, and the music wasn't a "luxury".... This here?, is a stunning reminder that Steve Winwood is and always will be a musical force to be reckoned with and enjoyed

Strange, as far as I know, and what do I know, Winwood played lead on Dear Mr Fantasy and Mason played bass.

I was at this show in 2004 with my future son-in-law who got us free tickets through some guy he knew that worked at WTTW. I've always been a huge fan going back to Spencer Davis, and have most of Steve's albums and this was an unbelievable show as it's filmed in a studio that holds about 300 or so. One of the best concerts I've ever seen!
@kevinmcgrath3914 жыл бұрын
@hellostranger Arc Of The Diver, or the Higher Love album... But any Traffic album (quite varied from one to the other) is a good choice. And... the eponymous Blind Faith album is a 'must experience' as well..! Also, there is a DVD attached to the album/CD, Winwood & Clapton, Live At Madison Square Garden from a very limited short tour with the two of them... a great music documentary of that revisit performance with intermittent interviews of each of them separately, discussing their relationship as friends and collaborators. The album is terrific... and the DVD is an 'award worthy' documentary in my humble opinion.
