  A Chat With Steve Winwood:...

  

  During the course of a career that has lasted for over four decades (and counting), Steve Winwood has gone from the Spencer Davis Group's 15-year-old keyboard player to a member of Traffic and Blind Faith - and then a solo star in his own right, scoring platinum sales in the ‘80s with albums such as Arc of a Diver, Back in the High Life, and Roll With It. Fresh from three nights of packing Madison Square Garden with his old friend Eric Clapton - and on the eve of the release of his latest album, Nine Lives, and a summer tour with Tom Petty - Winwood took time out for a chat with Bullz-Eye's Jeff Giles.

  Last Night At The Garden (Show Report)

  

  During the middle numbers, the two stars stretched out during several lengthy instrumental passages. With Winwood laying down chords on the organ, Clapton explored the various twists and turns of the Traffic classic "Pearly Queen," while both ably recast the saxophone parts of "Glad" on piano and guitar. Clapton took center stage for the haunting blues of "Double Trouble," while Winwood served up his own otherworldly fare in a rare performance of Traffic's eerie "No Face, No Name, No Number."

  Interview: About.com March 5, 2008

  

  On the one hand, I've been very lucky and very blessed to be able to play with so many people and to play to so many people, and that I have a vocation that I really love to do, so I actually have no complaints at all.

  But then on the other hand, I suppose there can always be improvements, so I can't say that I've done everything as perfectly as it could have been done. I'm sure there are things I could have done a little better at the time. I can't think of a specific one right offhand, but as it happened, I did what I did and what I live with now is what I've done in the past and I can't complain.
