🙌 🙌 🙌 1989 we're great times definitely miss those days lol" and who in their right mind can not listen to Steve Winwood these days I know I will never leave his sing ever!
A Great cover/interpretation of one of 'Jimis ' finest!!! Lest we forget 'Steve ' played on the original, his keys duelling with 'Jimis ' guitar still sounds other Worldy!!!......
This may be off-topic, but I'm still hoping to see a Christmas special out of Steve Winwood after last year's Christmas video, which I loved. It would counter the fake Hollywood type modern ones that dominate the channels. I bet my Facebook friend Bryn Hayworth would be up for it. ("Get ready for the Grand Arrival.") I bet Steve knows some, too. Don't you, brother?
But smooth as silk. Still, I do love the Hendrix version more, even if Winwood is the much better singer. (The vocal here could have been louder). But the wildness of Hendrix is incredible!
I saw them perform this in Philadelphia in 2009 or 10 and they absolutely blew the roof of the arena with this song. Needless to say, the whole show was incredible, too.
@@olly8 Agreed, definitely not trying to make anyone feel badly. I also feel very fortunate that I got to see them together. You described it perfectly - a spiritual experience.
Something I don’t understand. In the beginning of this song, it looks like corn, not barley. Barley looks a lot like wheat. So, why is there a photo of corn? Or am I wrong. Thanks!
Thank you so much Steve. I bought the Traffic vinyl album when it came out. I have it and other of your songs over your music career with other groups. I play it often on my guitars. Thanks for giving us so much happiness throughout the years. May God bless you each and every day.
Some songs just never age. Same for the video. I was in high school and thought the two of them were just so charming and fun. It compliments the song’s energy perfectly.
I played in bands all my life and still do. Played Hammond B3. We covered this but no way could we do it in Steve's key of G major. Even when we down keyed it to E major it was still a stretch. What a guy. My friend and talented guitarist Gerry Fitzgerald actually roadied for Steve in the late 60's. Met by chance in Denmark street Tin Pan Alley off Charing Cross Road. If you read this Steve you may remember Gerry. Scots lad from Edinburgh. Sadly passed away 3 years ago. Keep rocking that B3.
