[@bertvanhal9702]

Thanks very much. imho The Dooby Brother should open for Steve Winwood!

[@runntum]

You got that right

[@ItsMe-ex2vu]

Agree!

[@mbass718]

Maybe if the Doobie's didn't have Michael Mcdonald back in the band. He was by far the MVP of the night. But Steve Winwood was really great.

[@giacomopala8389]

TOTALLY

[@reggiesmith7279]

was just thinking that it's a sad day when an icon like Stevie Winwood opens for the Doobie Brothers. Like everything else these days, it's upside down 😖

[@tareefaires4766]

I have been loving this music all my life...I'm 74!!! How wonderful! Thank you!!!

[@seankeith6311]

Was at this concert, travelled all the way over from Scotland for my 50th birthday with my 16 year old son! What a performance from both Steve and The Doobs!

[@elizabethmcleod246]

Right on! Happy 50th birthday.

[@wygantsh]

Amazing talent. No one else comes close. Incredible singer, guitar player, keyboard player, writer. Still has not lost his voice.

[@luismontero5710]

From Santiago de Chile I greet you Tito Santana and thank you for this magnificent material. I heard Traffic for the first time in my country more than 50 years ago in a pioneering rock radio program here in Chile called *Alto Voltaje*... this band Traffic was one of my favorites in those years of my adolescence, little by little Little by little, as the years went by, I got to know this tremendous English group and their music better. In this millennium, thanks to the website, I know their entire Traffic discography and Steve's other works, which are countless... I never thought that today I would be able to see them here in KZbin a video with the performance of this tremendous musician 2 days after he performed in New York.. *Blessed Technology*!!!

[@cubswin66]

Best live show I've heard on KZbin this year. The man is a genius and that band is amazing.

[@catrh1158]

AGREED. We are blessed to still see him live. going again tomorrow.

Can’t find my way home ..at 71 I still can’t 😋 ..glad he’s still out there and sharing his wonderful talent ..

[@randythomson7265]

He blew the doobies off the stage! He should do a limited tour and gather some guests. I wish his part of the show was longer. What’s going to replace this music? There’s nothing out there if this caliber being produced. God Bless Steve! So talented.

[@richardsohanchyk631]

I was there as well. He was the main attraction for me.

[@cusab69]

We don't need no Doobies. Although Michael McDonald is a good musician.

[@cusab69]

We don't want Doobies. Let Steve educate.

[@catrh1158]

Agreed! Saw him last night in NH. Just bought another ticket to Massachusetts. Dear Mr. Fantasy was AMAZING! He sounds the same as always!

[@bradlyscotunes9156]

​@cusab69 McDonald is a monster, too; look up his resume, PRE-Doobie Bros., & everything to which he's added vocals, it's a long list..

[@SwisstedChef2018]

Excellent his voice is there at 76, great musician, thank you for your Music Steve and your "Traffic", fantastic.

Steve Winwood - such an Iconic Performer. What a great show! Thank you for sharing. I'm so bummed that Steve Winwood was not the opening performer for the Doobies when they were here in Atlanta this year!!

Steve Winwood is universal genius, and someone should tell him this.

50 years ago. Oct 2nd -1974 - Winterland is when I first saw Traffic and it was EPIC. Winwood is the light of this world. RIP Capaldi, Wood and Rebop.

[@tofermauerhan]

If there is one band I could go back in time to see live it's 100 percent Traffic. What an incredible group of musicians.

[@peterklein9167]

who are the musicians in this video?

[@robomaster4882]

Traffic was huge in the Bay Area. Dating back to the original Fillmore days.

[@juergensguitarlounge]

Great band and great concert. Great songs and setlist. Steve is such a treasure and his daughter a sweetheart. Songs I grew up with.

Was lucky to see Steve Winwood & Band on a few occasions when he opened for my favourite band Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers during their tour in 2014. Always made sure to get there early to see the Steve Winwood full set - was always sensational. Great memories!

[@njphilwt]

Tito…. YOU are the man! I’ve had an awesome Saturday night watching these two shows. Thanks, buddy!

[@seanconnolly4503]

Thanks so much!!! Your guitar playing is so inspired...peace and joy, everyday.

[@jaykay6387]

A legend. Surprised he's "opening" for the Doobies, but hey, he's still doing it. And the Doobies are one of my faves and people are finally realizing how great they were. I think they got a bit overlooked in the seventies when they were at their peak, there was so much great music back then. And I'm glad to see he's still rockin' that green strat!

[@irwinklinger1296]

I've seen Steve live a number of times, and I'm always amazed at his incredible talent, not only at his ability to play numerous instruments, but at a level that not many artists can approach.

[@Edmant]

What a dream to see Steve Winwood and the Doobies. Not everyone can go to America, come to Latvia please.

[@rdsobes1160]

I met him once with a friend back stage who was re-mixing a tune for him. He was so nice and approachable that 20 seconds into the convo I was starting to relax and be like what a ‘nice guy’ but then a voice in my head said…”dude, you are standing before Stevie EFFING Winwood…greatness on your album covers…get back to being in AWE” and I did, just standing there with a shit eating grin watching and listening to the disucssion.

[@billbuchen5739]

great video!i was there! he had a great drummer!

[@Vinnie-cv5qv]

Steve Winwood an opening act???!!! Say it ain't so!!! He should be the headliner!!!!

[@isotopefeeney]

I'm sure he COULD be headliner if he wanted to. Over the years I've gotten the impression that he's more comfortable doing this (opening): the pressure is off him to sell tickets, he can do a shorter (1 hour) set & stick to known material, and people don't feel short-changed. Just my opinion.

[@isotopefeeney]

Oh . . . and still get a paycheck :->

[@modonnell1106]

@@isotopefeeney Just saw this tour in Camden and thinking the same. He is back in his hotel by 9:00 in his pjs-no crowds to deal with.

[@mikestevenson576]

Definitely not. Even at his 80s peak when he did headline arenas, the kids would come back from the show saying "Level 42 was better". Winwood is an incredible recording artist and music virtuoso. He's not a connect-with-the-back-of-the-room arena live personality.

[@staceytaylor6900]

Going to see Steve with the Doobies tonight in Cincinnati so i came to check this out. Thanks for sharing.

[@richardlandon6043]

Steve is still one of my all time favorites. The guy brings it.

[@afoco9296]

Wow, I would have loved to have been at that show. He is such a gifted musician. His guitar solo on Dear Mr Fantasy was unbelievable. Just when you think it can't get any better, he takes it to another level. I always believed that great music can and should transport you to another place if only for a brief moment. Few artists have that ability. This man definitely will do that. Thank you, Steve, for sharing your gift

[@KenBissell-oq2ns]

Oh my, Mr. Winwood is such a class act, and has been so all along. Voice is strong, set list was awesome, band excellent.

[@johnadkins7512]

Thanks for putting this show up! What a great start to my morning in Mexico

[@marktroddyn3351]

Saw him thirty years ago and again in 2005. Happy to see him again in NH this summer. Kind of makes me sad that time is moving so swiftly.

I'm confused. I see 2 or 3 basses on a guitar stand in this video, but I don't see a bass player anywhere.

The one and only Steve Winwood - thank you Steve, awesome evening!

[@bradlyscotunes9156]

Fan since 60's w/Spencer Davis; big influence on my percussion! Great band❤

[@afghanwhigs01]

Saw him open for Steely Dan about 8 years ago. 8 years at this age is a long time. We all get old.

[@artmanjohn2]

Just think, this is the man who played the organ on the song "Voodoo Chile" on the album Electric Ladyland with Jimi Hendrix, I'm talking about the long version, 4th song on side one! One of the best if not the best recording of Jimi Hendrix live ever recorded and Stevie Winwood was a massive part of it. Does a man good to see this especially with me being Stevie's age and seeing him live back in the day! ((:

[@robomaster4882]

Yes. Live in the studio so the recording is great. Jack Cassady Buddy Miles, and many others on it too. Blew me away in 1968-69. "On the night I was born........"

Bravo!!!! Thanks for uploading!

[@billsmith2212]

I saw Blind Faith with Steve at MSG . That was A WHILE ago ! Great to see him performing . His voice is spot on - Can't Find My Way Home !

[@Bill-v6k]

I would like to dedicate this song to my buddy, Kenny, who passed away 2 weeks ago tho I just found out yesterday. He was my compadre, a great friend and a lover of life. I learned so much from him. We spent the summer's of the late 70's growing up up in NH on Lake Winnepesauke. We had the time of our lives during those summers, on that great big lake. I love him dearly.

[@-Bodybuilding-]

Thanks for sharing! 👍

[@paulfarkas1169]

Since I started to listen to music seriously in early 60s Steve Winwood has always been on my musical map. His songs are all modern r and b standards.The british invasion would be incomplete without Steve and his Hammond organ pieces of jazz rock rhthm and blues masterpieces. As far as backup people stands to reason he knows how to pickem.

[@KathyBurns-q4j]

So awesome, thank you much

Wow, Steve Winwood is opening up for the Doobie Brothers? What this world coming too...

[@ignacepollet1998]

but earlier this year the Doobies opened for the Eagles, so it's their turn now to be the main event ;-) 😺

[@chrisshenzo2594]

Steve's always been pretty genuine, though at this point a theater show where he played covers of tunes that influenced him (from any era) would be real treasure. Thanks for posting this because it's always been a tonic to see him.

was there last night. Winwood is 76 years old. Michael McDonald is 72 years old. Both masters at their craft. Winwood did an incredible job on guitar during Dear Mr. Fantasy.

[@rcsutter]

I guess I missed the email this is the summer of boomer rock! Every day I see a video of some musician(s) I have known since the late 60's. I'm not complaining at all, brings back a lot of great memories. The human voice is an amazing thing, unique as a fingerprint - and I'd recognize Steve's anywhere. I always admired him for re-inventing himself through the 70's and 80's. About the time you thought he was done, there's a new big hit on the radio. Rock on boomers!
