Don't be put off by any of the negative reviews given here. This is a truly great concert with an intelligent appreciative audience. The concert is performed in an intimate environment. The picture quality is first class as is the sound (DD 5.1).
The band is extremely tight, but what else would one expect from one of rocks all time greats.
I echo some of the other reviewers here............ why don't they release the rest of the concert to DVD. I would certainly not object to shelling-out again.

I really like Steve Winwood's recordings and looked forward to the DVD of this concert. However, Mr. Winwood seemed to me to have lost some of his vocal strength. Moreover there seemed to be a surprising lack of chemistry between Mr. Winwood and both the other members of his ensemble and the audience. I'm sure he has done much better; I wish there was a DVD of one of those concerts.

If you like Steve Winwood or think you know him but not sure, buy this DVD. His is wonderful. All the songs are great and they jam on every song. This is well worth your money. Don't miss it.

Dearest and I actually saw this a couple of years ago on TV, where "Austin City Limits" usually played. Steve Winwood is someone I've admired since the Sixties - and he's even married to a Georgia Lady now, too! - but this "concert" just...doesn't..."get it." Steve, the guy who played percussion on the "Traffic Jam" DVD and the guy who played horns on same - that's IT. I know, I know, all other Traffic members have gone on to their reward (save Rosko & Dave), but this thing...EH. Steve looks and sounds tired. And that "Why Can't we Live Together" song he does here stunk back in 1972, when it was first done by Timmy Thomas, I think. But the bottom-of-the-pit here is the Traffic chestnut, "Dear Mr. Fantasy," with Steve on guitar, Walfredo on drums, and that horn guy on organ and "doing" the bass part on keyboard pedals. Steve: Jim, Chris, Rebop, & Rick are NOT "glancing down from on High with appraisal" this time out. Sorry. Get a BAND and eschew syntheszers, PLEASE?

There are not many video records of Steve's performances, so this was a pleasure. His voice is not quite like the old days but he still sounds like no one else. Also, it is great to watch him play the Hammond B3 with both hands and his feet on the bass pedals. Enjoy.
