For those of us lucky enough to grow up in an era when Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton were up and coming gods, how wonderful it is to see their actual performances on TH-cam as opposed to soundtracks on the radio.
@@RubenSaenzdeViteri Steve Winwood wrote and performed the song - I dont know what guitar riff you are referring to. Winwood and Mason were in Traffic, as you probably know, and performed this live , recorded on Welcome the Canteen. It ws great to listen to Mason on guitar with Stevie freed up to play keyboards
Three drummers. Charlie Watts. Fricking Ray cooper. A third one. Clapton was just a guy in the band. Winwood meanwhile has a simply magical voice, one of a kind. I loved this song as a kid and still do, 50 years later.
Yeah, the third drummer you blanked out on is the great Kenney Young, from the fabulous Small Faces, then Faces, then the Who, etc. Great live performance and recording of a great song. Thanks Bob R for sharing.
@@paulbrucker3345 the third drummer is the incredible Kenny Jones... the 45 minute soloist. Whilst Ron Wood, Rod Stewart and Ronnie Lane went to the pub next door for a drink and a bathroom break, whoops forgot they were in the middle of a set, took a second bevi. Then remembered, ran back to see Kenny still in full flight....
He was indeed 15 - and under age to perform in pubs ! I know because I was 16 and also underage when I used to see him and the SDG perform in Birmingham pubs ! What a talent, and he still is !
Gimme some lovin. Ist probably one of best song of the all the time. Stevie Winwood too best voice. Total blues rock with the best blues rock guitar ever. Sir Eric Clapton.
You look at the musicians on this video and they are concentrating really hard because they are playing one of the greatest rock and roll songs of all time. And they know it.
Sometimes an incredible performance like this happens... where a song starts out, and it just gains incredible momentum, with each musician just dialing it up a notch, and another notch.. the trust, and musical greatness from each musician felt toward the others feeds upon itself, and the result is a very rare, and totally great performance. Like this one.
l`m 63 Years old and this music is very fantastic. They are the greatest, Winwood, Glapton, Jack Bruce, Keith Emerson, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, David Bowie, Alvin Lee etc.
My wife and I were lucky enough to meet him and band back stage after concert!! Because my wife's brother was a roadie for him!! Fantastic!!! Still have the tickets and signed glossy of him!
I went to aWinwood concert back in the 90s with a friend who had tickets and asked my wife and I to go. I was not a fanatic Winwood fan at the time but was familiar with some of his work. Started his concert and with every new song he played I couldn’t believe the string of hits this guy had. Of course he had some Spencer Davis and Traffic rep to draw from, but he played for three hours and every single song was like major hits id heard before. Just incredible
Great live version of one of Rock N' Roll"s greatest songs. Winwood is incredible & I wonder if Ray Cooper dances in his sleep. First rate thanks UTUBE!
Last night i was at a birthday party with my gal and we were watching sing! And this was in the beginning next thing you know im having an spasm because i got so excited hearing steves voice so unexpectedly😂 it made me happy that a kids movie had a gem from the spencer davis group in it
PURE 500% MORE SOUL ''''''' MY GOD !!!!!!!!!! Just picture a BLACK STEAM LOCOMOTIVE:see those drivers DRIVING THAT BEAST WITH THIS VIDEO, THIS SONG!!! I can't STOP THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow what a fantastic line-up, performing a classic which Steve Winwood immortalized when he was still a young lad with the Spencer Davis Group in the 60s
Percussionists seem to have a contractual obligation to look like they're having the most fun out of anyone on stage lol Or maybe it really is just that much more enjoyable playing percussion than other instruments.
@@GAFloppa opposite is true - Clapton usually blends in with whoever, but here he just drives a crazy energy with that riff and lets Winwood float his organ and vocal melodies over the top
Where have 20 years gone to? I remember seeing Steve Win wood singing this as a teen with acne! Amazing how far he & Eric Clapton have come !Who woulda thunk it?!
Winwood, Clapton, Fairweather Low, Wyman, Watts, Cooper -what a line-up!
Incredible
Can you not see Kenny Jones?
@@STEVO-hn5su probably camera didn't show Kenny, he's ripping the hit hat off
@@STEVO-hn5su Yes, unfortunately. Yes he's a good drummer, but a tad over rated in my preference.
Singing in the Spencer Davis Group at 16yrs? Pure Genius!
I do not know how much money I have thrown inside the Juke Box to listen to this music when I was 13 !!!!!!
What a tune eh.
For those of us lucky enough to grow up in an era when Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton were up and coming gods, how wonderful it is to see their actual performances on TH-cam as opposed to soundtracks on the radio.
Sure is 👵🏼👨🏼🦳 oldies Rock !
Full on "Gallactus" playing right here
Fortunate indeed!
Hey, but that's a Dave Mason guitar riff....best borrow from the best

That was fantastic. This line up is a super group.
When that great organ music kicks in!
All these musicians are at the top of their range.
the bongo man is amazing - what a positive energy.

Daniel Brooks Third drummer is Kenny Jones from The Faces ,

Wow! What talent. BTW. Steve Winwood was 18 years old when he originally wrote and recorded this song! What a genius.
Yes and he was only 15 (depending on what you read) when he joined the Spencer Davis Group.
He was indeed 15 - and under age to perform in pubs ! I know because I was 16 and also underage when I used to see him and the SDG perform in Birmingham pubs ! What a talent, and he still is !
And only 20 when he proved REAL GREATNESS on Hendrix's Voodoo Chile. Both him and Hendrix never played as greatly as on this one
@@stannorton4114 He had his elder brother on the bass who was already an adult, therefore, in such cases, you're still OK
Absolutely , the duelling between Steves keyboards and Jimis guitar is unbelievable!!!...
No, Thank You very much!! Brilliant performances by each of these outstanding musicians. Steve’s voice is brilliant!
Are there really 157 people in the world that gave this a thumbs down? It’s simply brilliant.
They are high.
What a joy winwood and Clapton playing on one stage.
The brilliant Steve Winwood! Plus a great riff by Eric!!!... also credits to all the famous musicians of that era! Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I Love this song give me some loving
Gimme some lovin. Ist probably one of best song of the all the time. Stevie Winwood too best voice. Total blues rock with the best blues rock guitar ever. Sir Eric Clapton.
Absolutely amazing to see Winwood and Clapton performing together in a classic song. I loved it.
Gotta love that swinging Ray Cooper on percussion !
He sure likes the attention.
Don't think I've ever seen him without glasses of some kind.
Eric Clapton intro riff made me love the song even more than before
Dave Mason riff

Perfect description of what is going on here!
No egos amongst these absolute legends, the look on their faces says it all, they’re having a ball..
😊😊😊😊
Completely agree. They're personalities add to the tune. Watching and hearing them can't fail to put a massive smile on my face!!
Clapton has ego i do not agree
I love the music of Steve Winwood, I love the guitar playing of Eric Clapton. This is a very special version of this 1960's song.
„🔥“ Had forgotten how great this song is ❤️, magical arrangement!
Nor are better riffs
Fantastic awesome great unique amazing fabulous wonderful talented gifted artist genius legend
One of my favourate Rocksongs. Steve is a very great musician.
Steve Winwood is the king!!! Super post!
"The one Man Band." Arc of Diver was something only Master Winwood could have made absolutely!
What a talented assortment of musicians!
Eric is the one behind the wheel on this one. What a killer groove he's layin down.
It's actually a bit too fast...try out Dave Mason's original version on Welcome to the Canteen...both are wonderful though!
Steve con un gruppo fantastico
That "bongo" player sure does look like he was having a good time!
Conga --- Ray C.
l`m 63 Years old and this music is very fantastic. They are the greatest, Winwood, Glapton, Jack Bruce, Keith Emerson, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, David Bowie, Alvin Lee etc.
Frank what a lineup. FROSTY
You like them more than Miley Cyrus? :)
@@howie9751 Have you heard Miley and Joan Jett. ?
@@vanceoverstreet4182 lol
Steve Winwood's always been great. Having him play here w/ Clapton just adds to the magic. Love them both.
Hello Maria,
How’re you doing?
Thanks for all your love and support,also for being an amazing fan.
It’s nice meeting you here
I just came upon this...I saw Steve Winwood this fall. I think it's wonderful that he sang at a MS event. I have MS so it means alot to me.
Ray Cooper?
Of course it’s Ray! The ultimate percussionist.
this version is an absolute killer wow
Wow. 2 of the most talented recording icons.
.. Just stumbled across this ! gives me chill down my spine...!Wow !incredible performance
The Best of The Best!!
Gimme two chords and I'll put down one of the best rock song ever. at 16.
this guys had music flowing in their veins.
yes he was a child prodigy - brilliant voice
The bridge has 4 more chords. ;)
But yes, I hear you!
Was he really 16 when he wrote this??!! Bloody hell!!
Don't forget the overdriven Hammond, and the impossible key to sing it if you are a mere mortal.
My wife and I were lucky enough to meet him and band back stage after concert!! Because my wife's brother was a roadie for him!! Fantastic!!!
Still have the tickets and signed glossy of him!
What a treat, Ray cooper w/hair, Bill Wyman and CharlieWatts too !!!
And on the left, Kenny Jones (Faces and the Who) on another drum set.
Just some down right classic music from some great musicians!
That riff is so damn good
Dave Mason riff!
I'm one of the lucky ones who got to live the time of the original song and the other fantastic musicians with skin and (long) hair.
Awesome havent heard for awhile
Steve organ, vocals and guitar. Amazing
This is such good music!
❤️ Steve's voice & 🎹 One of my favorite songs. Great performance🎸💃🏻😍😍😍
Gimme some as well , absolutely blooming marvellous !
very high quality performance.
Nothing better than a Hammond B3 organ solo...

Madre mia, da rimanere senza parole, anzi una sola : ECCEZIONALI !!!!!! I cari vecchi tempi !!!!!
I meglio tempi, Giuseppe!
Wow what a fantastic line-up, performing a classic which Steve Winwood immortalized when he was still a young lad with the Spencer Davis Group in the 60s
One of the greats! and so elegant, so handsome!
It was even better to have seen them live , I saw him when he was with Manford Mann , back when he was 15 , great show I’ll never forget .
Featuring the ever present and unsurpassable Ray Cooper on percussion, Kudos Ray, rock on!
Ray is God!
He pops up banging away, swi gong his arms with the cream of the crop. Just love him.
ALL the greats here... AND Kenny Jones on drums... What a class act they are...
Look how ERIC CLAPTON SMILES !!!
HE KNOWS HE IS DOING SOMETHING
" OUT OF THIS WORLD !!!!!!!!!!
superbe version me rappelle la belle époque!!!!!
Questa è musica! Questi sono i grandi ed indimenticabili gruppi!!!!
Gruppo di fantastici musicisti
Never gets old.
Thanks for this post!
Long live steve!😊💞
WOWWWWWW wish I could go back in time !!!!!
Great singer Winwood
Wow I love this! Also this jittery, hurried vibe of the song is how I feel after I take my adhd meds lol
Die Jungens, haben Musik gemacht, unglaublich !!! Das waren noch Zeiten !!! Herrlich💋💞
winwood is so awesome on those keys
Nobody ever seems to mention the great Ray Cooper on percussion. What a man!
Percussionists seem to have a contractual obligation to look like they're having the most fun out of anyone on stage lol Or maybe it really is just that much more enjoyable playing percussion than other instruments.
I wonder whether Ray Cooper's arms ever get sore and painful. What an energetic fellow!
clapton made this special here with that riff
That damn riff was old before the second verse. And he was mixed too loud. He was overpowering the vocals and the organ.
pretty sure he got that from the live traffic album? some live traffic album anyway.
Clapton... just freaking amazing. Blows me away on this
@@vanessajazp6341 agreed. Always dominates and encroaches on anything he plays on
@@GAFloppa opposite is true - Clapton usually blends in with whoever, but here he just drives a crazy energy with that riff and lets Winwood float his organ and vocal melodies over the top
Best version I've heard of this classic song, both guitar and the keyboards riff..
Il mondo della musica non ti ha riconosciuto i meriti che
Meritavi.Sei grande
fantabulous
Brilliant
Magnificent!!
Where have 20 years gone to? I remember seeing Steve Win wood singing this as a teen with acne! Amazing how far he & Eric Clapton have come !Who woulda thunk it?!
Excellent The Best
