after all these years I am still amazed at how Eric Clapton moved my soul . Stevie Winwood was everything I hoped he would be and more. This group of journeyman took the audience on a wonderful tour of their early and great contribution to the rock canon. I was stilled amazed after all these years. The audience responded to the classic greats of: "Blind Faith" and "Traffic" and they were equally moved by their loving and faithful interpretation of the blues. Clapton may not be God but he is certainly a recipient of some of His gifts. We were lucky enough to witness it. We were most satisfied. Winwood was in exceptional voice and never failed to amaze me.

Unlike many people, I am perfectly capable of going to see a beloved performer live, and coming out saying the performance was lousy. Having seen well over 100 shows, I also have a broad perspective on what the range of performance quality can be. Delightedly, in this case, I had no reason to provide a curmudgeonly report. The presentation was spare - - no elaborate stage sets, just musicains and instruments, with large video screens strategically placed for the benefit of those without close seats. While I can enjoy elaborate theaterical stage presentations, I do not consider them necessary. Most important are the sound quality and the playing of the musicians. For this show, both were outstanding. I won't rave about how great the two featured players are - -anyone reading this already knows that. What I will say is that they played as an integrated band, not two superstars alternating being featured, which is a prime risk in a show like this. They were also in top form. Each clearly delights in and admires the other's abilities. Winwood would often be grinning like a maniac, watching appreciatively, while Clapton took a bit of the spotlight. The show was over two hours of steady music. Bottom line, if you liked Blind Faith, or either of the two musicians separately, or both, you will not be dispappointed if you have a chance to see this show. This is not superstar grandstanding, or old guys going through the motions for a big payday. This is a band in its prime, playing a rich catalogue that they believe in, as a real working band, exceptionally well.

No glitz, no laser lights, no pyrotechnics, just two, veteran, musical viruosos playing better than ever!! These rockers know no age limit! The audience was everyone from teenagers to sixty-somethings, and it was just plain nice. People were there to have a good time and enjoy the music and they got everything that they bargained for! These guys could continue to draw multiple generations for generations to come, because they obviously enjoy what they are doing, and that is playing music and entertaining. I would be willing to pay the same price to go again!!

Incredible from begining to end. The casual atmosphere as these two magnificent performers come out and begin to play is overwhelming. It's emotional and inspiring to see them on the large screen and in person making keyboards and guitars produce what seems like extensions of their own selves. Masters that compliment each other so well, in such a perfect setting. Don't miss it!

This was definitely a Bucket List item to check off. Had seen Winwood with Traffic, by himself, along with Tom Petty (last year) - but had never seen Clapton. And, after having seen both of them play on the Chicago Crossroads Festival DVD, it was a Must-See! They didn't disappoint - master musicians, each on his own, gave meaning to the term synergy when playing together.
Winwood's voice hasn't lost any of the quality it had when he was just a 16 year old kid with the Spencer Davis Group. Clapton has just gotten better and better over time.
They obviously enjoyed having the chance to play with and off one another.
The most disappointing thing in the entire experience was the extremely loud distortion from the sound system towards the end of the concert. It spoiled what was otherwise an outstanding concert.

Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood weaved through their musical careers for two and a half phenomenal hours in downtown Dallas Texas with several thousand friends. From the Ramsey Lewis Trio to Traffic and John Mayall to Cream to Dereck and the Dominoes as well as Blind Faith and solo careers these stand out muscisions shared their favorite hits and influences with the audience. From Steve Winwood's awesome vocals, even with some sound issues on the show's opening number "Had to Cry Today", inspiring keyboards and surprisingly strong guitar playing to the presence, guts and soul of Eric Clapton's guitar and voice the concert was a true collaboration between artists that genuinely enjoy each other's company and musical genius. Let's not overlook the contribution of the guys behind the front men. Big Abe Laboriel is untouchable on the drums. Chris Stainton of Mad Dogs and Englishman fame was great on the keyboards and played some great counterpoints to the keys of Mr. Winwood. Willie Weeks was indeed the bass upon which the rest of the work was supported. This concert has moved to the top of my list of favorites over the past 40 years -- a definite must see. My only regret is that Steve Winwood played "Georgia on my Mind" rather than "Low Spark of the High Heeled Boys" as he performed in Houston and LA. That is no reason to complain when you are treated with marvelous renditions of "Can't Find My Way Home", "Presence of the Lord", "Dear Mr. Fantasy", "Wonderful Tonight", "Layla", "Cocaine", and "How Long". How Long is a good question, How Long will it be before I see another concert to remove this one from the top of my list of BESTS? I suspect it will be a long time.

I had never seen Clapton or Winwood in concert before. It was wonderful, exciting, fulfilling, fantastic - on a scale of 1-10, I would give it a 20! And it was great to have Buddy Guy appear for the encore. I'm just glad that these guys still enjoy playing as much as I enjoy listening to them. The Sixties for music just can't be beat - long live rock!

Let me start off by saying that I hate writing reviews because I doubt that anybody's going to read this,but here goes:When I heard that these two giants of British blues were coming to Chicago,I was excited (I ordered their 2 CD set recorded at New York's Madison Square Garden.I had hoped to listen to it prior to attending the concert,but,unfortunately,didn't receive it until well after the concert date had passed).I had a nice seat on the main floor and sat next to some nice people (always a plus since I attend concerts alone).The two things that most impressed me about the show were Eric Clapton's guitar playing (he's still The Master) and Steve Winwood's voice.I knew that there would be an abundance of Blind Faith material,since that was the only group that Clapton and Winwood were briefly in together ( from 1969-70).The show began with the song "Had To Cry Today" (just like it does on Blind Faith's only released album as well as the Madison Square Garden disc).Both Clapton and Winwood played guitar on this song (with their backing band) and then Winwood went on to play the organ for pretty much the remainder of the show (the instrument that he's mainly associated with).Clapton's solo music seemed to dominate the proceedings with a few songs from Traffic (Winwood's old band) and Winwood's solo career thrown in for good measure.There was a nice acoustic set during the middle of the program,but,personally,I would have preferred to hear more material from Winwood.On the other hand,the show was rather lengthy (as expected) and since both performers are in their sixties it's understandable that they limited the amount of material that they would do.I guess it was a given that Clapton would dominate the concert since he's still the more famous of the two,but I really think it's a shame that more young people today aren't aware of who Steve Winwood is.A girl in her 20s that I work with said that she had heard of Eric Clapton,but then asked me "Who's Steve Winwood?" I get the feeling that most young people would say the same thing.Anyhow,wrapping up this review:The program ended with bluesman Buddy Guy coming out to do two songs with the band,which was only appropriate since Clapton is a long-time fan.I disagree,however,with Greg Kot's review in The Chicago Tribune that Mr. Guy upstaged Clapton & Winwood.These two veterans more than held their own throughout the show.

It was an mixed age group that turned out to see Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood work their magic in St Paul. The 2 "old masters" wowed the arena with some of their own tunes as well as a cover of Jimi Hendrix. While not as rockin' as the last concert Clapton played here, I enjoyed the blues attitude of this concert. Clapton has the most effortless style of playing, and coaxes the most beautiful music out a guitar by gently caressing it--I don't know if it is more spiritual or sensual, but it is awesome!! It was a trip down memory lane for many in the crowd: I closed my eyes at one point, and I swear I could hear my mom yelling at me to turn the music down! The youngsters mingled amongst the 50+ crowd got to see two of the greatest musicians to ever play on the piano and guitar! These guys are still hot!

Dont buy tickets if you are a bigger fan of Steve Winwood. Steve didnt do any of his solo stuff that he's actually known for. A big disappointment.

Eric Clapton didn't even do most of his notable singles.

All blind faith songs.
