Thank you for reporting Summersnow, stay in heaven! I'm so lucky, got numbered seats now for Munich...(The show in Basel was great)
Back in Stockholm after a few rainy days in Malmo/Copenhagen.
But I'm still walking on sunshine after the fabulous concert Monday night!
Music in my head and I'm feeling gooooood!
I found my ticket from the Blind Faith concert in Stockholm :)
Royal Tennis court, June 16th, 1969 - Row 1, seat 12.
And I was sooo young. As Eric said, it's hard to believe 41 years have passed.
Well it was ABOUT TIME they came back to Sweden!
A few highlights:
Forever man - so happy to hear it, a favourite.
Layla - although I prefer the original version, it was amazing to see Steve and Eric perform together like that!
Midland Maniac - very emotional and beautiful, used to listen to it a lot when the album was released, but I never dreamed I would hear it live. Thank you Steve!
Georgia - just wonderful, that magnificent voice and oh - that Hammond!
Can' t find my way home - makes my heart cry........
Vodoo chile - brilliant, I can still hear it in my head and also makes
me remember Jimi.
The whole concert was just great and I'm so happy I was there!
Wünsche allen Fans in Hamburg einen unvergesslichen Abend! Auch Charlotte der Betreiberin der deutschen Steve Winwood-Website...

Inge. How I wish I could have been there? Thank you all
Thank you Inge, enjoyed your 'two hours in heaven report' - I will be in Munich next week-end with friends, not in Berlin...But I'm so happy to see Steve and Eric twice...
Thank you Anton - it was unforgettable. I wish the same for you in Berlin!
(Posted this under the Sweden setlist - sorry)
Two hours in heaven!
The minute Steve and Eric entered the stage last night, a beautiful, warm and relaxed atmosphere spread and they held us spellbound for two hours.
I red somewhere that Steve is not too fond of touring - last night he could have fooled me - he looked as if he truly enjoyed playing for us - and my - he did well. He sang and played the piano, the B3, the electric guitar and the acoustic guitar with such enthusiasm, emotion and charm - I have never quiet experience anything like it (not even MSG08). The way Steve accompanies Eric and visa versa - it is simply amazing.
Although the Malmø Arena is a big concert hall, it felt rather intimate. We were there for the music, and simply enjoyed the privilege of seeing and hearing those two great personalities. The sound and light were perfect from my place. The back of the stage was one big screen. We could hear all the lyrics, and Steve’s voices came through loud and clear with such emotion and power - you won’t believe it. What a great blues singer he is - also.
Very nice to attend a concert where the audience was really enjoying the music from The Dynamic Duo. Usually there will be some noise and talking in such a big place - but not last night - we were listening, applauding and in between exceptionally quiet - I believe we could have heard a needle fall when we heard he first tune of Georgia .
All songs were highlights, but Georgia keeps popping up in my head - wow - and Glad, and Voodoo Chile, While you see a chance - Midland Maniac (I did not know this song - it was beautiful), While you see a chance, and the rest of the set. I wish it could have lasted all night.
Forgive me for talking mostly about Steve’s performance - but he was outstanding in every way.
Well things haven’t really settled yet - just returned from Sweden this afternoon.
I wish all you who are going to the next shows all the best. You are in for a real treat!!!
