Hey Ches

I saw Steve at a free show in San Francisco. It was GREAT! Glad, freedom
rider, low spark, pearly queen, rain maker, presence of the lord. Only
two new tunes were played which were both good. His album, which I
listened to in the music store, is not another pop record at all. Lots
of Hammond (no tron - sorry) but I did not buy it right then and there
however. Regardless, the two tunes that he has been playing live (see
his web site for set lists) are the "good" ones. I actually like the
tune "different light" I think its called and I've been pretty critical
of some of his stuff in the last 10 - 15 years. Classic Stevie Hammond
playing on this tune if you get to hear it. He's coming back here in
September and I am definitely going. At one point during the show I saw
in May it got REAl psychedelic! He was (they were) jammin'. It was
great! I say GO! Especially if it is a small venue! I think when you see
the full show (the free one I saw was an hour) the longer set lists
include some more Blind Faith etc. It's on the set list section of the
site. Check it out!

Subject: [Mellotronists] Steve Winwood Coming to Dallas


A old Mellotonner and Hammond geinus himself, I haven't heard any of 
his recient material but Steve will be playing live in September in a 
small theater here in Dallas. Anyone keep up with Mr. Winwood? I 
wonder if it's worth going?
