External Reviews
"This is a double live set by one of the greatest artists of the last fifty years, from the days in Spencer Davis Group, then Blind Faith, through the years of Traffic, Steve Winwood has remained an amazing songwriter, musician and that ever wonderful voice of his, plus one of the nicest and friendliest people you could meet. At last we get what many have waited for so long, a live set, and here at over two and a half hours we get him, his stunning current touring band, going through the best of his music (or at least some of it, there is just so much), with a tight contemporary sound. From the opening 'I'm A Man' from his Spencer Davis days through twenty three songs that give not only an overview of his music, but one fantastic live show by one who truly is a music legend, such a creative force, live and in great form. The musicians throughout are simply awesome, whether soul, blues, funk, jazz or the popular hits. This is what music is really all about, and the long wait for a live set is well and truly been worth it to get something this good, as he closes his set with 'Roll With It', that sums it up, roll with it and enjoy the ride."
"Lovely recording capturing the live atmosphere very well. The range of material Steve Winwood has been responsible for in his career, not just as a solo artist, but also with the Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, and Blind Faith, is astonishingly varied, and that variety is well captured in this 2-CD set. A must-buy for any Winwood fan, or indeed anyone interested in an important part of UK musical history." - Amazon Reviews.
"Fantastic collection of Winwood classics - reworked for the live environment. This was recorded relatively recently and reflects the band that Steve has most recently had on the road. Any Winwood fan must buy this album - there is no dull moment. Absolute classic!!!" - Google Shopping Review.
