Have you heard Winwood and Clapton playing together?

Yup. I have this video bookmarked. Winwood + Clapton = Blind Faith, who I think only did one album.

I have the Traffic CD with this song, which isn't much different than this live version. It doesn't have Clapton, but there's not much difference.

I think I also have the original Blind Faith CD with this song, but not sure about that. Winwood and Clapton were both in Blind Faith. So was Ginger Baker. Clapton, Baker and Jack Bruce later formed Cream, without Winwood.

Here's another one with both of them. Although I don't think Clapton was on the original.

Winwood joined the Spencer Davis Group when he was something like 15.

I checked and I do have the Blind Faith CD.

Here's another well known song from Blind Faith. I haven't seen this live performance before.

Is that Donovan at 0:11?

[msc545]

Many thanks for these! I cannot tell if that is Donovan or not, sorry...

[msc545]

I was surprised to see Clapton play that old Strat on the middle pickup. Or am I seeing it wrong? Is it mixing the middle and bridge?

[msc545]

Opps- *middle and neck pickups? Still weird if he is doing that... looks like single coil as well on both...

Wow, these guys are the real thing for sure.

that opening! that was great up until the singing. i've never seen winwood on a guitar? i think they are about equal.

Love Winwood, CUCK FLAPTON !!!

[msc545]

I know you don't like Clapton's politics. I don't either, but I can separate my dislike for his politics from my admiration and appreciation for the man's art. I wish you could too.

[beefcakebradybatson]

I can, but CRAPTON'S also overrated. Among axemen who made Icky Eric sound amateurish was my late high school buddy and guitar god Robbie Borrink.

[msc545]

I've not heard Robbie's work yet. Can you post a link so I can?

[beefcakebradybatson]

Robbie died Apr.30,2007 at age 52, so I don't know where I can find a link to his work, but I'll look to see where I can find one. Out of high school, Robbie jammed with The Band in Toronto before getting off drugs, coming back to Windsor and working as a mechanic, than a tire salesman until his passing.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Actually, Robbie died April SEVENTH ,2007 at 52, twenty-three days before his 53rd birthday which would have been Apr.30,2007.
