Joe and Steve Winwood (Page 1 of 2)

You are up way too early Günter, i thought i could make the first post

There is not much to add, Joes Performance was very inspiring and intense, like you said, but way tooooo short for my taste.  After this hot performace in the tent we went to the nice (muddy after the afternoons thunderstorm, a bit like Woodstock) Biergarten ourside and had two cold ones, so we came back after Steves performance already begun.

Joes Silver Jubilee Marshall was on stage, so it was obvious that Joe should appear for one or more songs, and the it happend, Joe was introduced by Steve an entered the stage. Like Günter, i don't know the title of the first song they played together, but Crossroads was definetly a highlight for me.  It was very moving when Joe left the stage with a bow in front of Steve. The "sad" thing was that the battery of my mobile phone died right before Joe started playing with Steve, so there are, at least from my side, no pics or vid

That's it, Rocket. That was the song they played before Crossroads.

That is way too cool that Joe played a couple of songs with Stevie.  Both of those are great songs, it would really have been cool if they had time to play "Had to Cry Today" together!

Good news is that the guys from the Winterbach Festival have brought up some pics from yesterday.

i hope its o.k. to bring in the link:

Yes, Joe playing with "half a Blind Faith" was pretty cool!

My grandma came along for Joe´s set - all prepared with earplugs and mud-resistant shoes (as opposed to me - my shoes are a complete mess - they should be red, but are brown with Winterbach-mud right now!).
Imagine a 84-year old woman rocking out on her seat ... she really enjoyed herself and was very impressed with Joe´s playing. What a rocking grandma!

I didn´t get to hear too much of the Winwood part of the show, but came in at the end of his set right in time for a big drum solo and Joe´s appearance - hopefully someone will post a video of that. Steve had a good band with him and I really enjoyed the part of the show I saw - some people said it was a bit of a "best of" set, but obviously that´s what people want to hear. The audience was really euphoric and I saw a lot of people walking out asking about Joe´s tour schedule ... some new fans made for sure. One of them even bought all of the CDs and the DVD available at the merch-table ... maybe we´ll see him on the forum sometime soon.

Off to Cologne now .... Eva

The event is sponsored by a Stuttgart radio station: I hope that they´ve at least taped the show.

Thanks for the reviews guys and gals.
Joe must have been on cloud nine....getting to play with another of his heroes
I know Low Spark is a song Joe really likes as he has played it a coupe of times on his radio show.

A very graceful and courteous changing of the guard is making history.

Rock on and keep the faith.
