Steve Winwood

Steve Winwood performing some of his classic 80s hits in '88 (with some other live clips from Letterman, etc). I've always loved these songs but had no idea he was formerly part of Spencer Davis Group, close friends with Jimi Hendrix and played with Eric Clapton (wikipedia strikes again).  Anywho, great tunes...hard to not get up and dance.  Enjoy the mashup.       

Stevie is back and he is jammin! Raging Sea Steve Winwood Heaven is calling, waking me from my sleep Cross the ocean for the ghost of a chance to be free Over the rainbow, follow the rolling sea Find an answer to the dream of the man I can be Set my sail by a star Into the world of raging sea, left my home Oh goodbye my love, your tears break my heart But we'll meet again on a new horizon In a paradise for you and for me Summer is coming, warm the winter skies Yellow s...

I was lucky enough to get some tickets for this release party / preview show last night at NYC's Blender Theater. Having gone to the Clapton & Winwood show in February and awaiting the Petty & Winwood tour in June, I was pretty much looking forward to this show. Steve and a very tight band (guitar, drums, percussion, sax) ran through most, if not all, of the excellent new Nine Lives CD along with mixing in some classics such as Can't Find My Way Home, Had To Cry Today, ...

The new Winwood CD opens with “I’m Not Drowning,” a catchy acoustic blues number co-written and entirely performed by Steve (the one-man band act he’s been known to do over the years). Also, the song "Dirty City" with Eric Clapton on guitars, here for your viewing

This post is from Steve Winwood's newest release Nine Lives in stores April 29th.

It's back to the future with an exciting new song from Steve Winwood featuring Eric Clapton. Just got this note from the Steve Winwood fan club that you can preview his new song "Dirty City" and "sneak peek" the video on his Web site. http://www.stevewinwood.com/ In true Winwood-Clapton fashion it comes in at almost eight minutes -- just like the old days. Heavy, man. The video sneak peek doesn't run that long. I plan to be at the Petty and Winwood concert t... MORE

The Dead with Steve Winwood at the Meadows Music Theatre in Hartford, CT on June 21, 2003. For this tour The Dead were: Phil LeshMickey HartBilly KreutzmannBob WeirJoan OsborneJimmy HerringRob BarracoJeff Chiment Not too shabby, there was some nice playing. The Other Ones and The Dead, 90% of the time, sounded better than the Grateful Dead did from about 92 - on...its always great to see the guys and hear the songs, though I don't know if I would go again. Even as mu... MORE

Dear Mr Fantasy

In just 1.5 hours, I get to see another legend. Rock-n-roll!

OK, next concert on my attempt for most concerts in one year is Steve Winwood this Friday. He will be #14 and that will be the one that beats my old record set in 1984 of 13 concerts. Not only am I stoked about that, and the other concerts to come, but STEVE WINWOOD!!! Alright, maybe some people just think of him as an 80s pop star, but he is in the same league as Robin Trower, baby! He's one of the original rockers from Traffic! He was friggin 16 years old singin... MORE
