PRNewswire-- "The Carlos Santana Universal Tone Tour 2010 gets underway on June 30 with an initial North American leg running through early August. Carlos and the Santana Band will be joined on the road by special guest Steve Winwood, who will open the dates. Following the kick-off concert at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, MN, the tour travels through the Midwest and Canada for the first half of July, and then heads to the East coast.
Highlights along the way include shows at Midwest Bank Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, IL (7/9); Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto, ON (7/11); Bell Centre in Montreal, QC (7/15); Nikon at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, NY (7/18); Comcast Center in Mansfield, MA (7/23); Verizon Wireless Virginia Beach Amphitheatre in Virginia Beach, VA (7/27), and Cruzan Amphitheater in West Palm Beach, FL (8/1).
The Universal Tone Tour 2010 will feature hits from Santana's four-decade-long career, as well as songs from a brand new studio album that Carlos Santana is currently putting finishing touches on. Santana's most recent release was the 2010 reissue of Supernatural as a 2-CD Legacy Edition — featuring 11 previously unissued bonus tracks — in celebration of the classic nine-time GRAMMY-winning album's 10th anniversary."
Steve Winwood released a multi-disc career retrospective on June 7th entitled “Revolutions – The Very Best Of Steve Winwood”. It is a portrait of one of the most influential British musicians in rock history; a singer-songwriter, peerless vocalist, guitarist and keyboard player.
“Revolutions: The Very Best Of Steve Winwood” is available in two high quality formats: a single CD for the casual fan and a four CD deluxe box set including 60 page book for the connoisseur, with sleevenotes by writer Dylan Jones.

Steve did a good job,,,nice set here in Milwaukee ,,,,,,,,a little disappointed when he didn't come out for a oncore but over all music I thought was better than the Santana set.
Steve put on an exceedingly enjoyable show at the Xcel Center in St. Paul 6/30. I like Santana but we enjoyed Steve better than Carlos. To bad they had had the volume throttled back and no video screen like Santana had.
If you are a Winwood fan I would highly recommend this tour, a great set list, and 70 min. of pure bliss.
My favorite was: Dear Mr. Fantasy
Steve on the Hammond was unforgettable and his vocals were very, very, good.
Very much enjoyed the performance @ Xcel June 30. Would have loved the experience of seeing both Carlos and Winwood on stage together. Seemed like there was a perfect opportunity when Carlos covered an old Cream classic. Love the sound of that old B3. The drumming in this show was very beautiful.
