Steve Winwood / Allman Brothers

My wife and I saw Winwood at the BOA Pavilion in Boston last summer. Absolutely amazing how you can just get better with age. When I closed my eyes some of the old Traffic tunes sounded just like my old vinyl only better.

Saw Winwood with Clapton at MSG a few years ago. Awesome.

Allman Brothers are always great. Big fan of Derek Trucks. That guy can play.

AB, they were fabulous! Stevie sounds exactly like he did on those old albums and Clapton ain't too bad either!

I think they played exactly ONE new song, and I thought it was also great! Regarding the comment someone made that they're still pretty good for a bunch of old guys: Derek Trucks is certainly not that old, and he and Haynes do a great job as ABB's guitar nucleus.

By the way, did anyone notice the old film of Duane Allman being superimposed on the live video image of Trucks playing slide guitar on one or two songs. Interesting effect, certainly the most effective use of video all night.

Steve Winwood also sounded great, both his voice and his guitar playing, reminding us song after song just how much he's contributed throughout his career. The sustained standing O's after 2 or 3 classics were WELL deserved.
