Usually blow them off for pregaming, in that case glad I didn't. The Doobie Brothers in their dotage have Mcdonald drop in from time to time and are coy about it to keep ticket sales up. Obviously selling their music benefits his bottom line. If not, they have a younger keyboardist who looks and sounds very much like Michael McDonald. Mcdonald wrote a lot of songs for other artists and is probably one of the wealthier guys in the music industry. Among them; when Eddie Van Halen started living on cigs and other substances they stopped writing songs, and recorded McDonald's "I'll Wait". Mcdonald can do a Vegas residency any time he wants. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kleckineau Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 People throwing shade on Winwood must be tone deaf, devoid of musical historical knowledge oh and there is a good chance they drive a car with one of those 5000 watt subs that cost more than the car is worth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids sitting a few seats down were all “who is this guy, he’s great!” People throwing shade at Winwood are nincompoops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. Winwood was outstanding in several different phases of his career and can still perform admirably today. Blues rock pop jazz he could do it all. Well, not hip hop but who gives a sh*t about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, he's very talented, I can only listen to his voice for so long before I begin to twitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad, Freedom Rider, Empty Pages, Stranger to himself. 4 songs in a row better than anything you hear on the radio today. I saw him at Great Woods in Mass during his Higher Love tour, brought Chaka Khan with him, completely dark stage for the opener, crowd getting restless, then you hear the opening piano to Lone Spark of High Heeled Boys...crowd erupts..spotlight shines on Stevie at the piano..and when he gets to the opening line with his tenor voice....WHEN YOU SEE SOMETHING THAT LOOKS A STAR & ITS SHOOTING UP OUT OF GROUND You know instantly your seeing a f*cking musical Icon.

When you look back at the history of some of the bands he played in and some of the offshoots with Clapton and Blind Faith he’s really had an incredible influence on a lot of music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love DIFFERENT LIGHT, there are so many musical twists & turns in that song. And he recorded it in his studio I believe. He even brings in a high hat at offbeat moments. Piano, organ, horns, everything & the kitchen sink of musical sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've actually smelled him? Was he wearing a shirt? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
