Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood:
Live from Madison Square Garden
[Blu-ray] starring Eric Clapton, Steve
Winwood
Great Enjoyable Performance All The Way Through
History rocked and rock made history
during a sold-out three-gig stand at
Madison Square Garden in late February 2008 when icons Eric Clapton
and Steve Winwood performed a concert together
for the first time since their all-too-brief days in the legendary Blind Faith in
1969. Whether they will ever team again is unknown. But with Eric Clapton
and Steve Winwood Live From Madison Square Garden, on this Blu Ray,

fans everywhere are able to experience the sound and the glory of a
performance on that famous stage by two of rocks greatest artists.
Personal Review: Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood: Live from
Madison Square Garden [Blu-ray] starring Eric Clapton, Steve
Winwood
I am a big fan of Blind Faith, Traffic, Eric, and Steve. When I saw their
reunion during Eric's Crossroads Festival 2007 DVD, it seemed too good
to be true. Seeing actual Blind Faith songs resurrected from the ashes of
time. Too bad Ginger wasn't invited to join, but then, that might bring back
some sort of negative memories of the first time Faith was patched
together and urged by management to record and tour, then Eric jumped
ship. I'm not passing any judgment.
So now we have a full tour of Eric and Steve playing together and
seemingly enjoying it. They play together wonderfully and I only wish they
would come to my town AND I could afford it. But that's why we are
blessed with this wonderful DVD, so the rest of us can experience it.
Eric does a great job of playing the required guitar licks for Blind Faith and
Traffic songs. Steve plays great on both guitar and keyboards where
required. Both sing just fine. Neither has lost a thing.
We get all but one song of the one and only Blind Faith album, and great
highlights of different phases of each player's career. We even get a
tribute to Buddy Miles (RIP) on "Them Changes", Otis Rush on "Double
Trouble", and Ray Charles on "Georgia On My Mind".
Be aware "Can't Find My Way Home" here has more in common with the
"electric" version on the Steve Winwood "The Finer Things" boxed set,
rather than the acoustic version on the original Blind Faith album.
My only beef is it would have been pretty cool to see them play "Gimmie
Some Lovin'", but perhaps they're tired of that one. I'm also surprised that
"Freedom Rider" didn't make it to the set, but that's the way it goes. Also,
it was known (and heard on a bootleg) that Blind Faith played "Sunshine
Of Your Love" on their original tour; that would have been a nice encore.
A great value and highly recommended!
