Steve Winwood put on an incredible hour long set opening for Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. The crowd was still filing into their seats so you will hear the applause get louder as the show goes on. By the final 2 songs Steve and his band had everyone on their feet. I recorded most of this seated so audience chatter can be heard here and there. By the final 2 songs, I was
standing (as noted above).

Steve Winwood - 1978-08-19 - London, UK (SBD/FLAC)


(soundboard FLAC)

Steve Winwood at the Rough Hill Festival, U.K., Aug. 19, 1978

This appearance at an outdoor festival is said to have been Winwood's first-ever solo show after leaving Traffic, coming just over a year after the release of his self-titled first solo album (which I feel was a great, though underappreciated work).

It's a loose-sounding show -- a little sloppy at times, but actually refreshing compared to the ultra-slickness of his '80s-era shows. Winwood sticks to the organ, on which he also provides the bass part, and synthesizer. Winwood's wife at the time, the late Nicole Tacot, adds a homespun touch by singing And Then He Kissed Me, and contributes backing vocals.

Of note:
*Winwood plays five of the six songs from his first solo album, and he rarely revisited any of these songs again. Some of the arrangements differ markedly from the studio versions. For instance, Hold On is done here Latin-style, while Vacant Chair has a different structure.
*Two Way Stretch is a soulful Winwood-composed number that later showed up only as a 45 rpm B-side in 1981.
*Winwood, who's famous for messing up his lyrics, gets them totally wrong on I'm a Man. You be the judge: Is he making them up on the spot, or is he doing Chicago's version?

This is supposedly a soundboard, but could be an audience recording, judging from the ambient sound. Still, there's little audience blabber to spoil it. The recording had numerous cuts, which I've tried to smooth out as much as possible. The worst is in Low Spark, which ends suddenly just as Winwood's hitting the climax of a great Nini-Moog solo, but there were also gaps in Nobody Knows You (end of the guitar solo) and And Then He Kissed Me (in the last few bars).

I've previously seeded this, but it may have been on another tracker. In any case, I've since repaired an especially bad gap in Midand and a distracting pop in Low Spark, so I suppose this qualifies as a minor upgrade.

All in all, an interesting look at an underdocumented era of Winwood history. Thanks to Kenneth at the winwoodfans yahoo group for sharing the recording with me. Cover included.

notes:
Another great recording from Estival, courtesy of Lewojazz (thanks), the only downside being the announcers again talking extensively over the start of the tracks at a higher volume than the music. I reduced as much talk as I could without removing any music, so hopefully it doesn't spoil the listening experience.

Must be a gluton for punishment as I was back at the venue who fucked me over for the cure show a couple of weeks ago!

Place was about half full, I dont know whether they are just getting old or just going through the motions for $$$ but did not seem they were putting it all into the show.

The winwood set has chatter, as he started before the sunset I had to sit in what crowd showed up to not be noticed, the Steely Dan set I moved to my own section of lawn so it is mostly clear of crowd noise. It needed a volume boost

Notes:
Reunion concert by Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood at New York's Madison Square Garden in 2008. The rock legends took to the stage together for just three concerts in a highly anticipated collaboration, performing a string of hits that included Blind Faith's Presence of the Lord and Can't Find My Way Home, in addition to Clapton's classic After Midnight and Winwood's Dear Mr Fantasy.

Both Winwood and Clapton have long and prestigious musical careers, with countless honours and awards to their names. Their musical paths connected in 1969 with the formation of Blind Faith, a supergroup that pioneered the fusion of rock and blues to tremendous studio and stage success.

Despite critical and popular acclaim the band was short-lived, releasing only one album and embarking on a brief 1969 tour that debuted on July 12 at Madison Square Garden and ended on August 24 in Hawaii. Since that final show, Winwood and Clapton have remained friends but had only performed an occasional song together at charity events.

Thank you Steve Winwood and band for detouring from the Rod Stewart tour to bring us this excellent performance at The Fillmore. The house was packed and though I was in great position lined up with a stack, I had very little elbow room and was stuck near some major-league talkers for the first song. During "I'm A Man," I spotted a small opening and managed to creep forward enough to put the worst behind me, so it's more of a background murmur as opposed to the continuous conversation during "Secrets." Things settled down nicely as the band wove a hypnotic groove, and there was only one more issue I had to keep an eye on. My new position put me near a drunken idiot who was under the illusion that every girl that danced nearby wanted a piece of him. He was very touchy-feely, and several women got the hell out of there. You'll hear one turn to him at the beginning of "Higher Love" and say, "Don't touch me, don't talk to me, BACK OFF!" but this Neanderthal still didn't take the hint. Though most of his bad behavior was silent, unfortunately he does make a few inappropriate verbal appearances as well, the first of which I believe was during SW's intro to "Dirty City" when our hero felt the urge to yell, "Got any Grateful Dead?" He repeats his "Grateful Dead" yell and has a few cringe-worthy, drunken "YEAH!"s during "Dear Mr. Fantasy," but even that fails to ruin this stunning version of the song. Anyway, I'm very pleased with the recording and just wanted to let you know who your neighbors are going to be. I believe you've met them before.
