I've seen parts of the Winwood, Clapton gig before, it's a cracker.

Awesome! I'll be watching the Clapton & Winwood gig. I have the live album which I listen to occassionally on my iPod.

Thanks for letting us know!

Thanks Hunter, I've set my BT Vision box  :)

[gwEm]

watching a bit of it now. clapton was on rare form that night!

My God is that performance dull or what...  :? I'm a Clapton fan but I just can't take the plodding coma inducing dullness.  :(

I quite enjoyed it - wasn't expecting the Hendrix stuff!

[Baby Evil]

Loved both the FM docu and Clapton Winwood concert.
The latter was very good imo, great selection of tunes, great playing, with my eyes closed I would have sworn it could have been 1970.  Especially the Hendrix stuff was very well done, and that's particulary tricky.

It was better than I expected although I tend to agree with Afghan Dave that it would have been a good idea to wind it up a few gears for a couple of numbers. I would like to see EC play some numbers on his Gibsons instead of relying on the TBX/active mid boost stuff - IMO it's not the same - listen to the Royal Albert Hall Joe Bonamassa DVD, Further on up the Road (JB sound much better than EC IMO).

With Fleetwood Mac -  (1) how tragic that Peter Green tried acid and (2) wasn't Stevie Nicks cute (before she lost half her nose sniffing coke) PDT_030

I switched Clapton/Winwood off after 20 minutes. It was very tasteful and all, but so boring, no fire. Tastefully boring. It's all too harmonic, the sound too mellow blend in, the notes too pleasant, the vibrato and bends too nice.

Sorry to scratch on a legend here, but Clapton just doesn't have it anymore for me.

 :(

I used to be his biggest fan but completely agree with you.

Good job you didn't hang around for their version of "Voodoo Child", I found that pretty plodding.  The early part of the show was better, "After Midnight" was a lot more lively than usual I thought.

I've never been a big Clapton fan, but I do enjoy his playing in the live videos I've seen.  And I also like the EC signature/mid boost tone, even though it's not the most dynamic guitar sound in the world.

sweet, guess which eejit switched on about halfway through voodoo child. :lol:

i thought it was lacking a bit of fire, maybe, but i still like clapton. I don't have a problem with nice tones and playing.  :?

It's hard to listen to that song and not think of Hendrix (or SRV) just tearing it up.  It's supposed to sound apocalyptic. 

You can't imagine Clapton or Winwood "standing up next to a mountain, and chopping it down with the edge of their hands".  Chopping bean sprouts maybe.  :|
