I am a big fan of Steve Winwood, so let me just say that I have hundreds of concerts under my belt, and as a musician have a more critical ear than most. Steve is one of the few acts I havent seen in person yet, so it was a must for me. I am more of a fan of his vintage songs with Traffic and before, than his solo work. I REALLY didnt like that I had to sit through an opening act as we rushed through dinner to make it on time only to endure a guitar playing solo act for 30 minutes. Its not that he was bad, but he was one of those acts that every song sounds like the one before, so it gets old quick, and it did.
Then Steve and his supporting group came out without any que from the theatre for people to take their seats, so I missed most of his first two songs waiting for people to walk by me and take their seats. The main complaint I have for the show was a horrible feedback sound limiting the guitar and synth of both Steve and his backup guitar player. it was a constant low drone that just wore me out. I didnt stay for the whole show because of this, but I like Steve, and maybe they didnt notice the problem, but it made it uncomfortable for me to listen to.

Opening act(s): Some guy. He just came out and started playing. He did talk a little but I couldnt hear him very clearly from my seat, and people were talking A LOT throughout his set. @
