      @@thomasargiro5900 I don't think Ed's remark should be taken as implying that Winwood handled vocals on Light Up..... only that he had a Black soleful timbre to his vocal tone unique for a White young man. ….. a general musing and compliment, not a direct linkage to the video. Stevie is actually playing the only 6-string guitar on this tune.....he didn't play the bass. Actually, he was playing a mean wah-wah pedal, wasn't he? One of the better tracks that leveraged the unique wah tone in a constructive manner.....

      Traffic's lyrics are often written by Jim Capaldi, the guy singing this song, one of rock's great lyricists and a very fine drummer/percussionist/multiinstrumentalist. Stevie is of course a giant in the rock pantheon and wrote some good lyrics too, but Capaldi's poetic input is a key component in the alchemy that was Traffic, with Stevie frequently voicing Capaldi's words.

      In addition to Barry Beckett on keys there is Roger Hawkins drumming and David Hood on bass. This was the Muscle Shoals rhythm section. Hawkins' drumming is heard on everything from Bob Seeger's 'Old Time Rock 'n' Roll' to Aretha Franklin's 'Respect' and 'When a Man Loves a Woman', to Wilson Picket's 'Mustang Sally', Eric Clapton, Boz Scaggs etc etc etc. and the other two were equally prolific.

    the underrated guitarists out there. I love the way he jams on these songs and on dear mr fantasy.
    Sort of like say Prince... until you've seen some of the stuff he can do ( not related to his own music per se but in his jams at tributes and hall of fame intro
    duction ceremonies etc. he is also extremely talented guitarist.

      @wayneblanchard97 3 роки тому +4

      @@misterjimmy144 As Dwayne notes, Winwood, then hot with the Spencer Davis Group, did not play as a member of the Bluesbreakers. John McVie was there from the outset of the band until he joined Fleetwood Mac, with Jack Bruce enlisted in late '65 when McVie was fired (one of a couple times) for drunkenness. When Clapton rejoined the band after a month playing with friends in Greece, Bruce was on bass though he soon left to join Manfred Mann, at which time McVie was reenlisted. Winwood and Clapton did do a project together for the 'What's Shakin'' album in March '66, placing three tunes including 'Crossroads' and 'Steppin' Out'. Winwood and drummer Peter York (who stepped in when Ginger Baker either declined or backed out), singer Paul Jones and Jack Bruce from Manfred Mann were called the Powerhouse. It was a one-off, just for the recording, though Clapton and Baker soon formed Cream.

    • @wayneblanchard97

      Stevie was something of a jazz guitarist as a kid. With the Spencer Davis Group he was essentially the lead guitarist, with the earlier hits seeing him play a white Stratocaster. In those days he also added piano, though acoustic pianos were a problem when touring. Things changed in '66 when he got a Hammond organ and 'Gimme Some Lovin' and 'I'm a Man' hit the charts. Another good organ tune is 'Trampoline'. Here he is one one, if I recall correctly the B-side of 'Gimme Some Lovin'', doing piano, vocal and a tasty guitar solo. ua-cam.com/video/c3rc1WcbQ_s/v-deo.html

    Saw them on this tour in November '71 at William and Mary Hall in Williamsburg, VA. They had a couple opener bands and came out close to 11:00 and played til about 1:30 (if my foggy memory serves me correctly, I did light up)

    Dude, on this tune, Steve Winwood sounds so much like Steve Marriott did on 30 Days in the Hole and Lazy Sunday Afternoon! It's trippy.

    Chris Wood- flute/sax, one of the founding members
    Roger Hawkins- drums
    Rebop Kwaku Baah- percussion
    David Hood- bass (I think...)
    Although I'm pretty sure Ric Grech was the bassist on the album and Jim Gordon would have been on drums :)

    Glad I was a kid back in these days the music was groovy as we said. Everyone had a good time. Lyrics were more sane or flowing with the music or band. Today just isn't the same. The best times were the sixties and seventies without a doubt. I miss them a lot. Still play my albums till this day...

      Now, it is a circus/ zoo hybrid.Music is replaced mostly with rapping,special effects from an electronic device,or several,and really no talent much to speak of.As much as I always loved music,now ,I find myself looking to the older concerts I never knew about, or heard of back then.This is a real treat for people like me,who never got to experience things like this,other than the awards shows or specials that were on TV then.And concerts were televised,only it was aired at midnight on Fridays/ Saturday nights.Don Kirschner's Rock Concert comes to mind ,and midnight Special.

All the left over hippies and field parties ... great music and smoke...care free days just enjoying life with everyone getting along. Jimi Hendrix... The Doors... Janis Joplin... Ten Years After...Joe Cocker...Fleetwood Mac... Foghat...Black Sabbath... Pink Floyd...Deep Purple... Cream...Rolling Stones..... Lynyrd Skynyrd...Allman Brothers...So much great music to party to and the shows to attend.... Id love to go back and do it all over again....

    I still believe that Winwood was as good of a Guitar Player as he was on Keyboards and was just as good as Clapton. This is quite evident by this video and the Dear Mr. Fantasy Video from this Concert.
