    Great artists don't step on each other - they become one. Winwood and Clapton played on the original version of the song when they were both with Blind Faith. The little smiles they give each other tell the story.

Was near the end of line after concert when they RAN OUT of CDs -- 4 or 5 of us waiting. They said it would take another half hour or so and apologized. The few of us there waiting were visiting about how GREAT the concert was when one burst out, "Derek Trucks!" From behind me he walked up and shook all our hands personally apologizing for our wait and thanking us for coming out. Oh, and his hand's grip was SO STRONG. Called back home and told my wife I was never washing that hand ever again! ;) So, INDEED, "Derek Trucks ....one of the most humble, engaging ....jst the nicest guy you'll ever meet ....".

    Nice to hear you talking about the music and this time no dazzling guitar wizardry. So important to have a good song before you can play great solo's.
    For me Steve is one of the greatest songwriters of British rockmusic. As soon he joined the Spencer Davis group at the age of 15 they had 3 masssive hits and instead of going for more succes he started Traffic to find new directions. Mith Mitchell said in an interview; "we as Jimi's band would have played with Steve anytime and anywhere". That says it all I think. He played besides the hammond also sologuitar at livegigs with Traffic in the early seventies.

    I have this on DVD. It is for a great cause. Eric Clapton's rehab center in Antigua. A stellar lineup of musicians. I saw Eric Clapton once live, I saw Derek Trucks twice live, with the TTB and I saw Steve Winwood twice live, when he was opening up for Tom Petty. Great version of the Blind Faith tune, that Steve Winwood wrote. Many think of Steve Winwood as a keyboard player. He is a great guitarist and plays many other instruments. He is a great singer too, and also a great producer. Arc Of A Diver had Steve Winwood write all the songs, play all the instruments and he produced the album.That's how great Steve Winwood is. Thanks for this analysis. Cheers Fil!

    Excellent commentary Fil! Steve Winwood is an incredible musician. I've been a fan since '66. The sound of that Hammond B-3 played through a Leslie on 'Gimme Some Lovin' was incredible. It's too bad that the Leslie isn't used as much as in the past. I suppose the Uni-Vibe phase shifter had a lot to do with that. Winwood was heavily influenced by the great Ray Charles.

      +Gerry K It's easy to criticize pop music of today. Most of it has become
      slave to the almighty $$$. But there is still a lot of talent out there, young
      talent, to boot. You just have to find it! It's not often on mainstream
      sources. Satellite and HD radio, word of mouth through young people,
      especially, and your own curiosity yields a surprising amount of good and
      sometimes great music. No, it's not "The Old Days," (and I'm one of those
      old guys) but it's out there. Young musicians don't have as many oppor-
      tunities as they use to, but the internet - youtube and all - gives everyone
      the door to exposure for their creativity. Often, a walk or short ride to
      your local live music venues will make you hopeful for the future of
      creative music. Just my opinion.

    The supergroup Blind Faith (Eric Clapton, formerly from Cream, as guitarist: Steve Winwood, formerly from Traffic, as organist and singer; Ginger Baker, formerly from Cream, as drummer; and an excellent bassist/violinist) had a short U.S. tour (14 concerts or so) in July and August of 1969, and my then-17-year-old brother and my then-almost-14-year-old self were fortunate to win tickets to see Blind Faith from a radio contest held by the FM-100 rock radio station in our hometown of Memphis - the tickets were to the tour stop which was geographically "closest" to Memphis, which was the Sunday August 3, 1969 concert at Kiel Auditorium, in St. Louis. My brother and I flew up from Memphis on Delta Airlines, saw a (then-brand-new, premiering) film "2001: A Space Odyssey" in the afternoon, saw the wonderful Blind Faith concert at Kiel, that evening; however, it had some unexpectedly lengthy encores; this caused us to miss our late-night ticketed Delta return flight to Memphis. We tried to hitch-hike (as was mostly quite safe and quite customary, in those years) on the nearby I-55 expressway for a ride to the airport in St. Louis, to call our parents and ask them to wire funds for a new return-flight airline ticket; however, co-incidentally, a trucker who gave us a ride was going not to or near that airport, but was going straight through (in the wee hours of the morning of Monday the 4th) to a truck stop in West Memphis, Arkansas, before heading on I-40 south to Little Rock in Arkansas; of course, from our perspectives, it was a thousand times better and cheaper to do this, than to have gone to the St. Louis airport. We could then call our parents in Memphis from the truck stop in West Memphis, and explain the situation (there were no cellphones back then which would have allowed for an earlier call), and they were so delighted that we were both still alive and well that my father (a self-employed artist) left his office and picked us both us from the truck stop in West Memphis -- with NO questions asked !!!!! GREAT Memories -- except for the worries of my parents !!!!!

    Ok, I have to analyze Phil at this point. I just started watching his analysis videos about 3 weeks ago, and I gotta say something here.
    Phil, your analysis of this particular performance is a shining representative example of all your analysis of so many musical performances across a multitude of genres.
    You don’t miss a beat. You know exactly where, why, when and how to drill down into each performance no matter the performance. Your knowledge, breadth and depth, of music is downright staggering. Your interest, love and respect for this art form we call music is written all over each analysis video you make.
    I find your analysis to be thoroughly unannoying (it’s a new word) which I cannot assign to any others that attempt to analyze various musical performances.
    You have this way of capturing the mood....the attitude...the setting of the performance, the time period at which the original track was recorded. Your analysis are often backed with an historical knowledge as pertaining to the music your analyzing. You have depth. A rarity these days amongst today’s musicians imo. You truly appreciate well crafted music, outlays of legitimate talent, music backed by meaning, skill and melody instead of gimmickry, ego, one-upmanship, and fads. You are a natural throwback to a time where absolutely phenomenal musical talent was ubiquitous, unlike today.
    You sir must also, by default, be one hell of a guitar teacher. I only hope your students fully value everything you are teaching them. The world needs far better musicians. Musicians that eschew the one-dimensional approach to musical creativity. Music, actually ART, was never meant to be one-dimensional. Any fool kind draw a line. You grasp the value of the presence of soul and artistry in a musical performance far better than most, You naturally pick up on how a song is nuanced, however subtle it is and yes even if it’s the exact opposite of subtle.
    God Bless your efforts and pursuits regarding music Phil.
    Respectfully
    Great Job Phil !

    Right on Fil! One of the first things I learned about music is if you want to be a great musician you not only shine on a lead but you also shine as an accompanist. Which means you are not adding less to the music but you are adding more by supporting whomever is on lead with the "right" notes at the right time etc. and therefore never stepping on or into the lead's territory. Rather you are enabling him to also shine by adding just the right touch of "flavor" to not only what the lead is playing, but to the song itself. Also very super important, and I'm in complete agreement with you, is playing for the sake of the music itself only! This is the difference between a musician and an outstanding musician!! I've seen enough over the years to notice that musicians (and bands) that play for any other reasons (imho) do not stand out as a wonderful or innovative musicians, and as for bands, they do not stay together very long. Conflicts always arise within the band.

    My favorite Winwood song! I saw him open for Tom Petty several years ago and he did this version of Can't Find My Way home. It's great, but the original is so sad and haunting.

      Me too. I saw Steve Winwood open for Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. I saw him back in the late 1980’s in a high school auditorium outside of Cleveland. That concert was supposed to take place downtown Cleveland but the weather was so horrific with snow and blowing and ice that it was moved to a smaller venue. Can you imagine sitting 10 feet away from Steve Winwood playing low Spark of high heeled boys? That was one of my favorite concerts ever. Phenomenal.

  • @gmb858

    The amazing thing is that Steve's voice was fully formed when he was 15 years old- that was his age when he first sang "Gimme Some Lovin'" for the Spencer Davis Group. He first started playing on stage at 8 years old with his father and older brother. Steve was greatly influenced by the singing of Ray Charles. Back in the day a reporter wrote "how can a 15 year old white kid sound so much like a 40 year old black man." It was like Steve was sprung from the forehead of Muddy Waters with his voice all ready to go.

    Clapton is always at his best when he plays or records with world class musicians. His best albums were with Winwood and Duane Allman. Willie Weeks on bass played on some of the greatest albums ever recorded. On drums is Ian Thomas from Wales England is another session musician that has recorded and played with some of the best. And Chris Stainton on Keyboards another Brit from Sheffield whom first hit the scene playing with Joe Cocker on the Mad Dogs album and tour. This group has so much talent and are in a class of their own.

    And lest we forget...................the magic of "Wee" Willie Weeks of Doobie Brothers fame on bass. Weeks has as much experience and has played with as many other bands or solo artist either in the studio or live on tour as anyone on the stage. Including Clapton & Winwood.

    I've been deep diving on your older analyses for a few weeks. This is one of my favorite performance of this song. It's one to play while cruising at night - volume turned up/windows down. The head room you mentioned is what makes it addictive for me although I never consciously focused on it. I love how Willie Weeks' base line is such a quiet driving force.

  • @timothyparsons8327

    It really does enhance the listening experience when you have a group of players who know how to speak to each other thru their instruments without over playing and trying to impress. The dvds of the Crossroads Festivals and the night in Madison Square Garden with Winwood and Clapton are musts for every collection.
