And to think this great artist started at 15 years old with the Spencer Davis Group! Blows me away!
It’s curious to me that the comments seem to focus on Steve’s guitar playing, many as if it’s a surprise. The power and beauty of his voice just blows me away all these years later. He delivers these wonderful lyrics with just as much nuance and emotion as he did in 1967. Bravo!
I totally agree. If I close my eyes it sounds almost like the way it did in Santa Monica in 1972.
I was 11 and I already knew he was brilliant!
Never followed him closely enough to appreciate his guitar. Wow. His voice and keyboards more familiar, but he’s a well rounded musician!
Steve Winwood hasn't aged at all...
His voice is what pulled me to him. He has a unique voice and you know it is him singing after 4 words he sings. His voice has not changed. His guitar playing is great but it was always the voice which got me. Love this song.
He always uses his lime green strat , the best
Steve Winwood - Who is a better all around rocker than Steve Winwood? He's a force of nature.
Not only will you not find another musician who can bring it like that on the guitar as well as any other instrument on the stage, deliver those classic vocals which haven’t wandered from the original recording, but also do it flawlessly for the past 50 years.
Pound for pound the greatest musician alive today.
You're not the only one calling Winwood 'pound for pound the best musician on the planet'. Pretty sure it was Clapton who originally said that.
@@leekovalskyj9218 Actually I stole the line from Jim Capaldi, long time percussionist for Steve as well
As collaborator on many of his projects.
@@tattoorichie100 Winwood, Capaldi, they were a great team in Traffic.
@@leekovalskyj9218 I don't get the "pound for pound" qualification. If Winwood weighed 300 pounds he'd still be the best musician on the planet.
Yes, I never knew he was such a great guitar player. Wow!
The year was 2004 and he just stepped perfectly into the opening lyric, like always, again. Steve Winwood is, despite all the obvious accolades, still criminally under-rated as a multi instrumentalist song writer.
I’ve only watched this a hundred times. The solos are phenomenal.
hahahaha....is it you that adds the spike to to the replay bit? tying to figure out how the fuck he makes that....Pyyyeoow.....sound at the start and 3.55?
My favorite Traffic song of all time! Stevie's singing and guitar are awesome and I don't know who that drummer is, but he absolutely killed it! Amazing performance!
That DRUMMER is phenomenal STEVE EVERYONE 👏
The sunset, the voice, the guitar. the drums.. what a great moment
I could listen to this man’s voice forever. His voice is like velvet so smooth ❤
This man just played all the hell out of that place. He has the voice of a prince, and looks of a model. I would not mind being stuck on a desert Island with him, his sounds and my coconuts at all.
You go, honey. More power to ya!
Multi talented.
One of the greatest voices of British rock
I’d say greatest voices in ALL of rock.
@@jakelawhead8394 I’d gave my left bollock to have that amount of talent.
Your right Jake
The man is brilliant
A BIRMINGHAM MAN AND I'M PROUD TO TELL PEOPLE THAT. what a fantastic musician
Love stories, love songs, a complete star, melodies, music never to forget
Not sure why, but whenever I hear the opening, I feel soul, deep joy, wonder. We're going on a journey, out of this gloom, to a good place, together. Thank you, Stevie ,for capturing the spirit and giving it to us.
hahahahahaYeah...I know that feeling
He's just brilliant. His voice and guitar playing... well... !
His voice is a marvel, even in 2004-and the guitar playing is just amazing. This is really a performance for the ages…
Winwood and Clapton were extraordinary together and apart. True talent can stand together or alone any time.
Hello Gwyn how are you doing today
@@waynegilbert4858 Hi, Wayne! I am busy promoting my new single: ua-cam.com/video/8OlCXzQrtUs/v-deo.html. Check it out and let me know what you think under "Comments." Thanks and take care.
This is such an awesome performance. He hasn't wavered one bit from the original, which was magical to say the least, and his guitar work is simply fantastic. Top of the top of all time!
GO STEVIE!!!
Listening to this is the secret of eternal life, just phenomenal.
Did yall see that beautiful sunset with that beautiful song..... cool just cool 😎
For a live concert, the sound quality of the recording is top notch!
This music was so in tune with the times, it's uncanny!
That drummer is outstanding as well.this is a good version of an old favorite.
One of those songs you don't want to end!
Great musicians come and go, but Steve never wavers from sheer brilliance, heart and soul music. The very definition of lifelong talent. As for Dear Mr Fantasy.....I need to listen to it every day. Thank God for UA-cam and Steve Winwood.
Such an iconic stamp on the history of rock! 👏👏👏
Steve Winwood is the great unsung hero of British rock 'n' rock. He was there when it all started back in the mid 60s, and in guitar terms deserves to be in the same room as Page, Clapton, Beck and Townshend, But he is also also wizard keyboardist, so that makes him even more of a rock 'n' rock all rounder than any of the aforementioned.
A stunning reading of the ancient texts by the very man who wrote them. Perfection and pure joy.
Now theres a comment! Ive only just come across this version....the whole thing is utterly sublime (it feels ridiculous to make such an obvious statement..but....for now...and at this moment...it is my very favourite sound!
My dear Steve,
may i tell yo that, at least in my opinion, you have "delivered" the ULTIMATE PRAYER of Mankind, EVER! , here ... with that song!
I am 53 years old, now ... the more often i listen to this Masterpiece, the more i discover how greatly the sound always compliments the Main Message, of the song ; as if you understand how to read the Universe - as it all stands already written, there ;)
Thank you very much ... in the Name of all People, CHAPEAU!
Greetings, happy Easter, good Health and loooots of Love, Man!
*Peace
Stevie asked..'Is tha' Ray Charles singin'?'..close, Stevie..it's Steve Winwood..'whoa!..tha' bro' is, he's..he's timeless.'
You never know who can change the world and that could just be your. Show the Love that Jesus put in your heart with his holy Spirit. If only one person gets save from a word that they need that second just pass the Love of God to someone that is reaching out to be saved. Safe in Jesus Christ arm's is what we all are looking for. Just Love your Neighbor as you Love yourself and the Joy of Love will flow like a river of Love through the street and the world. Change this in your timeline...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is bullshit. Take it off.
Saw Traffic open for the dead a handful of times and Winwood et al impressed me everytime.
Seems like Winwood put his hands on every instrument and ripped them all.
Stevie Winwood I've been listening to your music 1969. I have been playing music since then also. You never ever ever cease to amaze me
The note selection here in the Intro: comes as a enthralling surprise to the ears.
It is an alternate voicing compared to the studio version and perhaps evokes a higher perspective in being something different and new.
Very tasty lick right from the get go and Steve keeps things fresh and lively !
`LIKED'
Wow… What a fantastic rendition of one of my all time favorite songs! Always fun to jam!❤️☮️🎸
if you think about it, it’s impossible to be or do better than this, this is as good as ‘it’ can possibly be, the vocal performance, the effortless ability with the guitar. Oh, and wooooow, that drumming. Who is it?
Walfredo Reyes Jr.
Wally Reyes Jr., about my fifth favorite Winwood drummer, lol
This
Love me some Winwood and Thanks for pointing out the drumming sometimes I have a tendency to focus on guitar and vocals and takes few listens to appreciate everything.
Winwood is in the handful of greatest popular musicians of this 70 year old's lifetime. Evidenced here once again. And, yes, this drummer was fire.
Dear Mr Winwood keep playing those tunes. You always make us so happy.
Make it snappy!
What a perfect show, just me and Steve❤
Sensational drummer too. Complements Winwood's superb playing, beutifully.
What a groove and the drummer drives it home along with the glorious lead guitar!
Excellently Said!
"The Bird!"
I was very damn impressed by that drummer.
Drummer is on point. Who is he?
One of the best guitar players ever
what can one say to a musician's musician- Superlative vocalist equally at home with Soul/R&B, Prog/Jazz Rock, Blues, Folk rock and pop, an awesome keyboardist, a very subtle & melodic guitarist and a highly talented songwriter .SW is one of the best the all round talents to emerge and remain on top since past 6 decades
This is and always will be my favorite song of Steve Winwood's
I think it’s my all time favorite song
Hello there… how are you doing?
Better than can’t find my way home ?
@@realitychampion8022 I heard Mr. Fantasy first and it holds the most good memories for me. That said you are not wrong cant find my way home is great in its own right
The drummer is insane
This was 20 years ago... whoa!
Just as good as when he played it in the 60s/70s.
Another timeless classic.
I did not realise he was the guitarist for that epic solo. Steve for the win!
One of my all-time favorite musicians ever !!!
Back in the days of the counterculture my friends and I listened to Traffic endlessly, their place in the pantheon of rock greats is undeniable. IMHO, the first Traffic album holds a place right next to Sgt. Peppers as the best albums of '67. RIP Chris Wood and Jim Capaldi.
He has the most unique voices in the world ... and the way he pulls you in during a guitar solo ... That"s why I keep coming back to this video... and then there is Arc of a diver ...
Outstanding performance Mr. Winwood. The drummer was awesome as well.
The drummer is Walfredo Reyes Jr. Amazing drummer.
@@dwaynewladyka577 - He is fantastic.
Who is this drummer?????? He’s got the chops he’s got the timing he’s got musical charisma
wow what a great band this man had
as an old hippie from the days of "Traffic", I always appreciate any Steve Winwood performance.......being in my home state just makes it better !........
Imagine getting to play into that sunset. Well done Mr. Winwood.
If You Heard only this song and gimme some lovin' it's enough to understand this guy is the Best!
Your voice is God given Steve Windwood. Coming to Houston, Texas, April 3, 2022.
Stevie W is brilliant.
The toppermost of the poppermost.
That guitar. 😊👍🙌💛⭐
Steve Winwood dishes out a great guitar solo here! Truly a Renaissance talent
Rock on!
Man this is awesome!!!
Sounds amazing!
Still got my Album, Mr Fantasy.
I’m raising my glass to Walfredo Reyes Jr. 🍺 You, Sir, are one of my heroes. Hell of a pair you two make!! ❤️🔥🎸🥁
Sensational
He is likely the greatest musician of the 20th Century.......
One of my all time favorite songs, no body can touch this
5/31/04 Opened curtains from the honeymoon suite at Reno Hilton and thrilled to find a surprise, a birdseye view of Stevie's concert! Sweet memories ❤️
Hello Lisa how are you doing today?
A UNIQUE TYPE OF ROCK!!
Damn!!!!! This is good
Dude, I never knew you had such good taste in music. Bravo !!!
His voice is amazing. It should be wrapped and preserved as a national monument.
Steve Winwood is a true performer, such a classic with such feelings!
I've heard this song a million times and this has to be the best live rendition of them all.
It gave me goosebumps and I've heard this song a ton as well. Just perfectly done
Thats what rock music is about ❤
One of the very best Live performances ever!
Thanks for the comment. Glad you liked it.
There were some pretty amazing talents on Austin City Limits but this was the best. I just loved it and somehow it popped up in my feed but it's on my UA-cam Music, also. Rock on, Steve Winwood. Rock on.....❤
Steve Winwood , dieser Mann ist einfach nur genial !!! ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Certainly Steve is always surrounded with great and outstanding musicians to peak in every tune they play.Long live this truly great musician,his musical artistry will never stop.
Steve winwood is the lord of ROCK !!!!!
Winwood is the most underrated rock god!
Definitely one of the greatest, if underappreciated musicians ever, in rock. Guitar, keyboards, and amazing, soulful vocals-thank you Steve, and for whoever put this on….
Incredibly talented man : voice, guitar, keyboards. Humble and underrated
A masterpiece! Thank you Steve.
Very welcome
I JUST LOVE ❤️ 😍 GREAT MUSIC 🎶 🎵 👌 🙌
Came for some Steve, stayed in captivation for the drummer.. As a percussionist, that style of rock beat with blues/jazz fills is so fun to play
That drummer floored me. It was just the perfect amount of fills but not overdone. And when that double bass came in.... loved it
This is a really amazing performance. The sunset is the perfect backdrop. I saw Steve Winwood twice live, as the opening act for Tom Petty. Cheers! ✌️
Winwood opening for Petty. TP was cool, a rockstar. Winwood is a legend and arguably doesn’t need anyone on the same bill.
... very not a weight class.
Geez, I like Petty a lot... but that's as backwards as a billing can get.
In 2014, Winwood helped Petty & the Heartbreaks promote “Hypnotic Eye”.
Winwood performed “Can’t Find My Way Home” and “Gimme Some Lovin’ “ - while on stage with Petty and his band.
The above is a quote referring to a Philly gig. I think Steve accompanied Tom & band on a 20 city tour during 2014.
This was all I could find via quick search. Essentially not an opening act, but performing his music with Tom to promote Petty’s new album.
Someone else can likely do a better write-up.
What an underrated talent, one of the best , bloody hell hes been playing professional since mid 60s
I love Steve's blue-eyed bluesy-jazzy-blues! His music and voice have inspired & uplifted me for decades. Thank you Steve Winwood and may you & your loved ones be Divinely blessed eternally ~ your music must be reaching the highest levels of the cosmic fabric of consciousness-Life! Your so fine, you blow my mind...Keep on truckin' (as they used to say in the 1970s :-)
Hello there… how are you doing?
Stevie is a timeless classic! Pound for pound the best ever .... just check out all the bands and folks he's influenced. Thank you sir.
It's some compliment when clapton says that he's the best all round artists in the business
This is a great version! Rock on! 🎸🎶
drummer: Walfredo Reyes Jr. Anyone who has that Mitch Mitchell vibe gets my attention. awsome. And yeah, that Winwood guitar playing ffs. how did i go so long without noticing it?
This one of my favorite performer of all time and i speak for multitudes of fans..brilliant voice...and his hammond b 3 work is flawless.
Always have loved this song sung by Steve Winwood❤ It’s such a groove!
Saw Traffic in the Bay Area as a teen. Snuck away from home to enjoy the show.
oh, AND he plays keyboards phenomenally too.....and bass, and drums, and mandolin, and saxophone.....and he writes all his own beautiful songs (multiple classic hits) and lyrics.....other than that, he's just a guy from Birmingham.
Maybe some day the current media will recognize him as much as Janet Jackson!
Oh I absolutely love this song. If I hear it in the car, no speaks! His voice is what pulls me to him. I cannot get enough of this song. It is slow but reaches your soul. He sounds wonderful.
Hello there… how are you doing?
yeah, steve, you got it all ! the voice, the organ, and when you touch a guitar ... waouh ... just heaven !
a little reminder from Mr. Winwood. in case you forgot. wow.
Am I right in thinking that this is the classic Traffic 3 piece line up: drums, guitar, keyboard playing bass pedals? Wow. Makes it even better. Cannot argue with below comments about quality of this performance at all except that Steve rarely failed to deliver anywhere. I've seen him a dozen times from the 60s to when he opened for Tom Petty (why did he open?) and he was consistently fantastic. Thanks!!
