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!!!
Tried to post a comment right after the show from my iphone, seems it was lost in cyberspace...
What a great show! I was in heaven!!!
Thank you Steve and Eric for returning to Sweden again.
Hope you won't wait another 42 years to come back!
I will write some more when I come home to Stockholm.
I'm on the hotel computer now.
All the best to Steve, Eric, band and crew!!
THANK YOU!
Having returned to our native Copenhagen, we can say that are thrilled by the life in these men.
A little like Mae West said: It's not a question of the men in my life - It's a question of the life in my men....! And boy were they alive tonight... The start a litlle bad on the sound side, but they quickly came after it, and Georgia on my mind was one of the highlights. My favourite was GLAD. The piano intro there is on the top ten of piano intros ever written. All the way from Memphis by Mott the Hoople is another, just like Chi Coltranes "Hallelujah"... anyway: It was a pleasure. BUT it was very ungentlemanly NOT to introduce the bandmember and the singers.
Mr "Thank You - Clapton" ,,,, it is just not good enough, and you also omitted it in Copenhagen last time.... now eat your oats and remember the band!
Sten, Inge, Summersnow, Leif, enjoy the concert in Malmö!! I wish all Swedish and Danish fans an unforgettable concert...
What an amazing concert! Winwood never disappoints. My favourite moments wete: Well alright, Voodoo Chile (Steve's roaring organ!!!), Midland Maniac and Georgia. The Band's The shape I'm in was a nice surprise. Also the performances of Michelle and Sharon and Chris Stainton were excellent. A very tight band. A bit unpersonal though. Clapton , nor Winwood had a word to say to the crowd in Arnhem. I am used to that from EC but from Steve.
Awesome and amazing concert in Arnhem on the 29th of May. Both Clapton and Winwood were brilliant. Phenomenal guitarplaying also by Winwood. Voodoo Chile was unreal, While you see a chance fantastic. Gimme some lovin' great and the band was top.
Arnhem, 29 april 2010.
