    You can find all kinds of criticism out there why the same old stuff has to be hashed over and over year after year, but when you cut through the bull it must be fate and karma that there are great musicians from a new generation willing and more than able to keep the BEST MUSIC EVER alive in these messed up times!

      He’s a musical genius. However, he is in the HOF with Traffic and won two Grammys. Every band he played in was a critical success. Traffic albums went gold and platinum. He even had videos on MTV. And he was a guitar virtuoso as a child. Yes, Clapton was god and sold way more records. But I’d say Winwood is rated highly.

So nice to see a mix of the sixties/seventies greats with the best of the last couple decades and the best of this decade. Like Jerry, Billy Strings has an incredible love for music in all forms. Only sad that Santana isn't in this concert, he adds something that no other guitarist can bring.

I'm a little jealous of all the peeps that got to see them at Red Rocks. That place is fn awesome!!
