Trust me, if you're a Steve Winwood fan..., June 8, 2005
This review is from: Soundstage: Steve Winwood (DVD)
...you'll want this just for the incredible opener CAN'T FIND MY WAY HOME. I have a copy of this show and it's wonderful. It's beautiful. It's Steve Winwood and that tells anyone who knows anything about great rock music all they need to know.
Other highlights include DEAR MR. FANTASY, LOW SPARK, BACK IN THE HIGH LIFE, and DIFFERENT LIGHT from the last album, "About Time"...tho' to be honest, this is a show full of highlights.
One of the greatest voices in rock, if not the greatest, and a master of the Hammond organ and quite the guitar player, Winwood is one of those artists who personifies quality musicianship and a level of professionalism few other artists match.
I'm a big, big fan...if you can't tell.

PLEASE! Release the Entire Show!, September 5, 2005
This review is from: Soundstage: Steve Winwood (DVD)
What a stellar performance! It's ridiculous and a shame the entire performance was not released for this DVD. I'm happy they included 3 bonus tracks, but that's only 11 of the 19 songs performed that night. I attended the taping for this show, and it was like all previous reviewers have said, an incredible performance and it needs to be released in its entirety.
The original set list for the more than 2 ½ hour show was...
1. Pearly Queen
2. Different Light
3. Cigano (For The Gypsies)
4. Can't Find My Way Home
5. Walking On
6. 40,000 Headmen
7. Empty Pages
8. Final Hour
9. Silvia
10. Rainmaker
11. Bully
12. Glad/Freedom Rider
13. Who Knows What Tomorrow May Bring
14. Higher Love
15. Back In The High Life Again
16. Dear Mr. Fantasy
17. The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys
18. Why Can't We Live Together?
19. Gimme' Some Lovin'
Except for taking a few of quick breaks to allow the cameramen to swap recording tapes, there should be little editing that needs to take place. Do us all a favor and release the entire show!

Highlife is short but sweet!, October 22, 2005
This review is from: Soundstage: Steve Winwood (DVD)
This DVD does everything right, the sound and video feed are perfect. Great song selection. Steve still has an aswesome voice, he hits all high notes still. His guitar playing is very enjoyable. the only thing I can fault This DVD for is it's short length, just about half of the concert is here. I watched on PBS, before I bought this dvd, and the song list was about twice as long as this. I really wish they would have included the whole show, it's not like DVD'S don't have the capacity. So minus 1 star for trimming it too much.
