There's some info on his website. Great track listing. This could be killer, given Winwood's musical legacy.

Thanks, Anthony. I've brought the release details in-house, into the first post of this thread.

No Don't You Know What the Night Can Do?, which is a fave of mine.

Them Changes was recorded (as a cover song) live with Eric Clapton on the Madison Square Garden concert from 5 or so years ago. Perhaps that version is included here?

smokin.joe · 01 Aug 2008

Sure would like to see new material. It's been quite awhile since his last studio record "Nine Lives" in 2008, which I was a bit disappointed with.

DanO · 30 Jul 2006

I believe he played "Them Changes" most (if not all) nights on his tour with Steely Dan a couple of years ago.

A couple of samples:

"including contemporary arrangements of the music he created with"

Does this mean it's all fairly recent recordings? If it was unreleased live Davis, Traffic, Blind Faith, etc I'd be interested. Can't Find My Way Home sure sounds like a recent recording....... oh well.

When I can play the great classic originals, not sure why I'd want 2nd rate remakes.

The track listing is ok; while their are a very few songs I'm not familiar with, the only 2 I know I don't like are Higher Love & Roll With It from his Top 40 period..

We've already got the so so Winwood/Clapton live for recent concert recordings.

The blurb says: "Winwood’s first ever live release as a solo artist" so no tracks by Spencer Davis, Traffic or Blind Faith.

i am really torn on this one...i had it my cart at amazon, took it out, put it back, and now it is out again.

I Expect this to be all recordings from recent years. These are sourced from Steve's personal archives and he probably doesn't have rights to older stuff. To me, this is a GOOD thing. I've seen him 3 times in the last decade or so and his band is white hot.

I'm hoping this doesn't contain any exact performances that we've gotten before but I do wonder if the "Them Changes" is with Clapton meaning other tracks we've got already as well. But I doubt it.

Good track list but would have liked to have "Dirty City" from his last studio album on here.

Guys, jump in on this right now! Amazon's price has dropped down to only $7.99:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072N9G1DS/?tag=imwan-20

This is a ten dollar price drop, more than 50% off, so it's possibly just a temporary system error -- but it always pays to try.
