no bling, no flash, no trash, just shear delivery. no trivia, no dancers, no backing vocals, no razzmatazz ,shouting, screeching , no ego. just wonderful . you will be hard pushed to find better. THIS IS THE BENCH MARK. SOMETHING TO MAKE US ALL FEEL HAPPY. njoy.
hahahaha....is it you that adds the spike to to the replay bit? tying to figure out how the fuck he makes that....Pyyyeoow.....sound at the start and 3.55?
It’s curious to me that the comments seem to focus on Steve’s guitar playing, many as if it’s a surprise. The power and beauty of his voice just blows me away all these years later. He delivers these wonderful lyrics with just as much nuance and emotion as he did in 1967. Bravo!
His voice is what pulled me to him. He has a unique voice and you know it is him singing after 4 words he sings. His voice has not changed. His guitar playing is great but it was always the voice which got me. Love this song.
The year was 2004 and he just stepped perfectly into the opening lyric, like always, again. Steve Winwood is, despite all the obvious accolades, still criminally under-rated as a multi instrumentalist song writer.
Not only will you not find another musician who can bring it like that on the guitar as well as any other instrument on the stage, deliver those classic vocals which haven’t wandered from the original recording, but also do it flawlessly for the past 50 years. Pound for pound the greatest musician alive today.
My favorite Traffic song of all time! Stevie's singing and guitar are awesome and I don't know who that drummer is, but he absolutely killed it! Amazing performance!
This man just played all the hell out of that place. He has the voice of a prince, and looks of a model. I would not mind being stuck on a desert Island with him, his sounds and my coconuts at all.
This is such an awesome performance. He hasn't wavered one bit from the original, which was magical to say the least, and his guitar work is simply fantastic. Top of the top of all time!
Great musicians come and go, but Steve never wavers from sheer brilliance, heart and soul music. The very definition of lifelong talent. As for Dear Mr Fantasy.....I need to listen to it every day. Thank God for RUclips and Steve Winwood.
Steve Winwood is the great unsung hero of British rock 'n' rock. He was there when it all started back in the mid 60s, and in guitar terms deserves to be in the same room as Page, Clapton, Beck and Townshend, But he is also also wizard keyboardist, so that makes him even more of a rock 'n' rock all rounder than any of the aforementioned.
Not sure why, but whenever I hear the opening, I feel soul, deep joy, wonder. We're going on a journey, out of this gloom, to a good place, together. Thank you, Stevie ,for capturing the spirit and giving it to us.
My dear Steve, may i tell yo that, at least in my opinion, you have "delivered" the ULTIMATE PRAYER of Mankind, EVER! , here ... with that song! I am 53 years old, now ... the more often i listen to this Masterpiece, the more i discover how greatly the sound always compliments the Main Message, of the song ; as if you understand how to read the Universe - as it all stands already written, there ;) Thank you very much ... in the Name of all People, CHAPEAU! Greetings, happy Easter, good Health and loooots of Love, Man! *Peace
@@waynegilbert4858 Hi, Wayne! I am busy promoting my new single: ruclips.net/video/8OlCXzQrtUs/видео.html. Check it out and let me know what you think under "Comments." Thanks and take care.
The note selection here in the Intro: comes as a enthralling surprise to the ears. It is an alternate voicing compared to the studio version and perhaps evokes a higher perspective in being something different and new. Very tasty lick right from the get go and Steve keeps things fresh and lively ! `LIKED'
Now theres a comment! Ive only just come across this version....the whole thing is utterly sublime (it feels ridiculous to make such an obvious statement..but....for now...and at this moment...it is my very favourite sound!
Back in the days of the counterculture my friends and I listened to Traffic endlessly, their place in the pantheon of rock greats is undeniable. IMHO, the first Traffic album holds a place right next to Sgt. Peppers as the best albums of '67. RIP Chris Wood and Jim Capaldi.
You never know who can change the world and that could just be your. Show the Love that Jesus put in your heart with his holy Spirit. If only one person gets save from a word that they need that second just pass the Love of God to someone that is reaching out to be saved. Safe in Jesus Christ arm's is what we all are looking for. Just Love your Neighbor as you Love yourself and the Joy of Love will flow like a river of Love through the street and the world. Change this in your timeline...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
as an old hippie from the days of "Traffic", I always appreciate any Steve Winwood performance.......being in my home state just makes it better !........
@@realitychampion8022 I heard Mr. Fantasy first and it holds the most good memories for me. That said you are not wrong cant find my way home is great in its own right
if you think about it, it’s impossible to be or do better than this, this is as good as ‘it’ can possibly be, the vocal performance, the effortless ability with the guitar. Oh, and wooooow, that drumming. Who is it?
Love me some Winwood and Thanks for pointing out the drumming sometimes I have a tendency to focus on guitar and vocals and takes few listens to appreciate everything.
Saw Traffic open for the dead a handful of times and Winwood et al impressed me everytime. Seems like Winwood put his hands on every instrument and ripped them all.
what can one say to a musician's musician- Superlative vocalist equally at home with Soul/R&B, Prog/Jazz Rock, Blues, Folk rock and pop, an awesome keyboardist, a very subtle & melodic guitarist and a highly talented songwriter .SW is one of the best the all round talents to emerge and remain on top since past 6 decades
He has the most unique voices in the world ... and the way he pulls you in during a guitar solo ... That"s why I keep coming back to this video... and then there is Arc of a diver ...
drummer: Walfredo Reyes Jr. Anyone who has that Mitch Mitchell vibe gets my attention. awsome. And yeah, that Winwood guitar playing ffs. how did i go so long without noticing it?
Definitely one of the greatest, if underappreciated musicians ever, in rock. Guitar, keyboards, and amazing, soulful vocals-thank you Steve, and for whoever put this on….
Certainly Steve is always surrounded with great and outstanding musicians to peak in every tune they play.Long live this truly great musician,his musical artistry will never stop.
5/31/04 Opened curtains from the honeymoon suite at Reno Hilton and thrilled to find a surprise, a birdseye view of Stevie's concert! Sweet memories ❤️
There were some pretty amazing talents on Austin City Limits but this was the best. I just loved it and somehow it popped up in my feed but it's on my RUclips Music, also. Rock on, Steve Winwood. Rock on.....❤
I love Steve's blue-eyed bluesy-jazzy-blues! His music and voice have inspired & uplifted me for decades. Thank you Steve Winwood and may you & your loved ones be Divinely blessed eternally ~ your music must be reaching the highest levels of the cosmic fabric of consciousness-Life! Your so fine, you blow my mind...Keep on truckin' (as they used to say in the 1970s :-)
This version of this song blows any other version away. Plus, the sunset behind him as he played it? Oh my God, it's so perfect. I have this version in my playlist on my devices, but I never knew until now it was an Austin City Limits performance. So beautiful. Just sublime.
Oh I absolutely love this song. If I hear it in the car, no speaks! His voice is what pulls me to him. I cannot get enough of this song. It is slow but reaches your soul. He sounds wonderful.

And to think this great artist started at 15 years old with the Spencer Davis Group! Blows me away!
Steve Winwood - Who is a better all around rocker than Steve Winwood? He's a force of nature.
The man is brilliant
He always uses his lime green strat , the best
I am planning on buying a Fender Telecaster. I will be specifically requesting a Steve Winwood Lime Green Paint Job!!!
I think the color is called Sea Foam Green.
I’ve only watched this a hundred times. The solos are phenomenal.
hahahaha....is it you that adds the spike to to the replay bit? tying to figure out how the fuck he makes that....Pyyyeoow.....sound at the start and 3.55?

I totally agree. If I close my eyes it sounds almost like the way it did in Santa Monica in 1972.
I was 11 and I already knew he was brilliant!
Never followed him closely enough to appreciate his guitar. Wow. His voice and keyboards more familiar, but he’s a well rounded musician!
Steve Winwood hasn't aged at all...
His voice is what pulled me to him. He has a unique voice and you know it is him singing after 4 words he sings. His voice has not changed. His guitar playing is great but it was always the voice which got me. Love this song.

Pound for pound the greatest musician alive today.
You're not the only one calling Winwood 'pound for pound the best musician on the planet'. Pretty sure it was Clapton who originally said that.
@@leekovalskyj9218 Actually I stole the line from Jim Capaldi, long time percussionist for Steve as well
As collaborator on many of his projects.
@@tattoorichie100 Winwood, Capaldi, they were a great team in Traffic.
@@leekovalskyj9218 I don't get the "pound for pound" qualification. If Winwood weighed 300 pounds he'd still be the best musician on the planet.
Yes, I never knew he was such a great guitar player. Wow!
I could listen to this man’s voice forever. His voice is like velvet so smooth ❤
The sunset, the voice, the guitar. the drums.. what a great moment
My favorite Traffic song of all time! Stevie's singing and guitar are awesome and I don't know who that drummer is, but he absolutely killed it! Amazing performance!
Multi talented.
One of the greatest voices of British rock
I’d say greatest voices in ALL of rock.
@@jakelawhead8394 I’d gave my left bollock to have that amount of talent.
Your right Jake
This guy is like a super man. Songwriting. Keyboards , sick guitar .. and a voice from heaven.
Plus he must be over 60
He's just brilliant. His voice and guitar playing... well... !
Sensational
This man just played all the hell out of that place. He has the voice of a prince, and looks of a model. I would not mind being stuck on a desert Island with him, his sounds and my coconuts at all.
You go, honey. More power to ya!
That DRUMMER is phenomenal STEVE EVERYONE 👏
Walfredo Reyes jr
This was 20 years ago... whoa!
Just as good as when he played it in the 60s/70s.
A BIRMINGHAM MAN AND I'M PROUD TO TELL PEOPLE THAT. what a fantastic musician
His voice is a marvel, even in 2004-and the guitar playing is just amazing. This is really a performance for the ages…
This is such an awesome performance. He hasn't wavered one bit from the original, which was magical to say the least, and his guitar work is simply fantastic. Top of the top of all time!
That drummer is outstanding as well.this is a good version of an old favorite.
Great musicians come and go, but Steve never wavers from sheer brilliance, heart and soul music. The very definition of lifelong talent. As for Dear Mr Fantasy.....I need to listen to it every day. Thank God for RUclips and Steve Winwood.
This music was so in tune with the times, it's uncanny!
Listening to this is the secret of eternal life, just phenomenal.

Love stories, love songs, a complete star, melodies, music never to forget
Such an iconic stamp on the history of rock! 👏👏👏
Stevie Winwood I've been listening to your music 1969. I have been playing music since then also. You never ever ever cease to amaze me
One of those songs you don't want to end!
Did yall see that beautiful sunset with that beautiful song..... cool just cool 😎
Not sure why, but whenever I hear the opening, I feel soul, deep joy, wonder. We're going on a journey, out of this gloom, to a good place, together. Thank you, Stevie ,for capturing the spirit and giving it to us.

Walfredo Reyes Jr.
Wally Reyes Jr., about my fifth favorite Winwood drummer, lol
This
Love me some Winwood and Thanks for pointing out the drumming sometimes I have a tendency to focus on guitar and vocals and takes few listens to appreciate everything.
Winwood is in the handful of greatest popular musicians of this 70 year old's lifetime. Evidenced here once again. And, yes, this drummer was fire.
Stevie W is brilliant.
The toppermost of the poppermost.
Saw Traffic open for the dead a handful of times and Winwood et al impressed me everytime.
Seems like Winwood put his hands on every instrument and ripped them all.
One of the best guitar players ever
Your voice is God given Steve Windwood. Coming to Houston, Texas, April 3, 2022.
what can one say to a musician's musician- Superlative vocalist equally at home with Soul/R&B, Prog/Jazz Rock, Blues, Folk rock and pop, an awesome keyboardist, a very subtle & melodic guitarist and a highly talented songwriter .SW is one of the best the all round talents to emerge and remain on top since past 6 decades
Imagine getting to play into that sunset. Well done Mr. Winwood.
Outstanding performance Mr. Winwood. The drummer was awesome as well.
The drummer is Walfredo Reyes Jr. Amazing drummer.
@@dwaynewladyka577 - He is fantastic.
One of my all time favorite songs, no body can touch this
What a groove and the drummer drives it home along with the glorious lead guitar!
Excellently Said!
"The Bird!"
I was very damn impressed by that drummer.
Drummer is on point. Who is he?
That guitar. 😊👍🙌💛⭐
Winwood is the most underrated rock god!
I JUST LOVE ❤️ 😍 GREAT MUSIC 🎶 🎵 👌 🙌
He is likely the greatest musician of the 20th Century.......
He has the most unique voices in the world ... and the way he pulls you in during a guitar solo ... That"s why I keep coming back to this video... and then there is Arc of a diver ...
Incredibly talented man : voice, guitar, keyboards. Humble and underrated
drummer: Walfredo Reyes Jr. Anyone who has that Mitch Mitchell vibe gets my attention. awsome. And yeah, that Winwood guitar playing ffs. how did i go so long without noticing it?
Stevie asked..'Is tha' Ray Charles singin'?'..close, Stevie..it's Steve Winwood..'whoa!..tha' bro' is, he's..he's timeless.'
Definitely one of the greatest, if underappreciated musicians ever, in rock. Guitar, keyboards, and amazing, soulful vocals-thank you Steve, and for whoever put this on….
Man this is awesome!!!
Certainly Steve is always surrounded with great and outstanding musicians to peak in every tune they play.Long live this truly great musician,his musical artistry will never stop.
I've heard this song a million times and this has to be the best live rendition of them all.
It gave me goosebumps and I've heard this song a ton as well. Just perfectly done
A UNIQUE TYPE OF ROCK!!
5/31/04 Opened curtains from the honeymoon suite at Reno Hilton and thrilled to find a surprise, a birdseye view of Stevie's concert! Sweet memories ❤️
Hello Lisa how are you doing today?

Steve Winwood is a true performer, such a classic with such feelings!
This one of my favorite performer of all time and i speak for multitudes of fans..brilliant voice...and his hammond b 3 work is flawless.
What an underrated talent, one of the best , bloody hell hes been playing professional since mid 60s
This version of this song blows any other version away. Plus, the sunset behind him as he played it? Oh my God, it's so perfect. I have this version in my playlist on my devices, but I never knew until now it was an Austin City Limits performance. So beautiful. Just sublime.
Stevie is a timeless classic! Pound for pound the best ever .... just check out all the bands and folks he's influenced. Thank you sir.
It's some compliment when clapton says that he's the best all round artists in the business
This one definitely coloured my life growing up in the sixties. What an amazing song.
Came for some Steve, stayed in captivation for the drummer.. As a percussionist, that style of rock beat with blues/jazz fills is so fun to play
That drummer floored me. It was just the perfect amount of fills but not overdone. And when that double bass came in.... loved it
Sounds amazing!
Still got my Album, Mr Fantasy.
Oh I absolutely love this song. If I hear it in the car, no speaks! His voice is what pulls me to him. I cannot get enough of this song. It is slow but reaches your soul. He sounds wonderful.
Hello there… how are you doing?
Oooo wouldn't you know it another one of my favourites. I'm becoming a Winwood youtube stalker. Haha
