It’s curious to me that the comments seem to focus on Steve’s guitar playing, many as if it’s a surprise. The power and beauty of his voice just blows me away all these years later. He delivers these wonderful lyrics with just as much nuance and emotion as he did in 1967. Bravo!

Who is this drummer?????? He’s got the chops he’s got the timing he’s got musical charisma wow what a great band this man had

Not only will you not find another musician who can bring it like that on the guitar as well as any other instrument on the stage, deliver those classic vocals which haven’t wandered from the original recording, but also do it flawlessly for the past 50 years. Pound for pound the greatest musician alive today.

That drummer is outstanding as well.this is a good version of an old favorite.

The year was 2004 and he just stepped perfectly into the opening lyric, like always, again. Steve Winwood is, despite all the obvious accolades, still criminally under-rated as a multi instrumentalist song writer.

And to think this great artist started at 15 years old with the Spencer Davis Group! Blows me away!

Multi talented. One of the greatest voices of British rock

Steve Winwood - Who is a better all around rocker than Steve Winwood? He's a force of nature.

This man just played all the hell out of that place. He has the voice of a prince, and looks of a model. I would not mind being stuck on a desert Island with him, his sounds and my coconuts at all.

The sunset, the voice, the guitar. the drums.. what a great moment

That DRUMMER is phenomenal STEVE EVERYONE 👏

He is likely the greatest musician of the 20th Century.......

I’ve only watched this a hundred times. The solos are phenomenal.

Winwood and Clapton were extraordinary together and apart. True talent can stand together or alone any time.

My favorite Traffic song of all time! Stevie's singing and guitar are awesome and I don't know who that drummer is, but he absolutely killed it! Amazing performance!

He always uses his lime green strat , the best

Stevie asked..'Is tha' Ray Charles singin'?'..close, Stevie..it's Steve Winwood..'whoa!..tha' bro' is, he's..he's timeless.'

I could listen to this man’s voice forever. His voice is like velvet so smooth ❤

His voice is a marvel, even in 2004-and the guitar playing is just amazing. This is really a performance for the ages…

He's just brilliant. His voice and guitar playing... well... !

You never know who can change the world and that could just be your. Show the Love that Jesus put in your heart with his holy Spirit. If only one person gets save from a word that they need that second just pass the Love of God to someone that is reaching out to be saved. Safe in Jesus Christ arm's is what we all are looking for. Just Love your Neighbor as you Love yourself and the Joy of Love will flow like a river of Love through the street and the world. Change this in your timeline...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This is such an awesome performance. He hasn't wavered one bit from the original, which was magical to say the least, and his guitar work is simply fantastic. Top of the top of all time!

I did not realise he was the guitarist for that epic solo. Steve for the win!

My dear Steve, may i tell yo that, at least in my opinion, you have "delivered" the ULTIMATE PRAYER of Mankind, EVER! , here ... with that song! I am 53 years old, now ... the more often i listen to this Masterpiece, the more i discover how greatly the sound always compliments the Main Message, of the song ; as if you understand how to read the Universe - as it all stands already written, there ;) Thank you very much ... in the Name of all People, CHAPEAU! Greetings, happy Easter, good Health and loooots of Love, Man! *Peace

Listening to this is the secret of eternal life, just phenomenal.

A BIRMINGHAM MAN AND I'M PROUD TO TELL PEOPLE THAT. what a fantastic musician

This is and always will be my favorite song of Steve Winwood's

what can one say to a musician's musician- Superlative vocalist equally at home with Soul/R&B, Prog/Jazz Rock, Blues, Folk rock and pop, an awesome keyboardist, a very subtle & melodic guitarist and a highly talented songwriter .SW is one of the best the all round talents to emerge and remain on top since past 6 decades

One of those songs you don't want to end!

Dear Mr Winwood keep playing those tunes. You always make us so happy.

The drummer is insane

Steve Winwood is a true performer, such a classic with such feelings!

What a groove and the drummer drives it home along with the glorious lead guitar!

Oooo wouldn't you know it another one of my favourites. I'm becoming a Winwood youtube stalker. Haha

Outstanding performance Mr. Winwood. The drummer was awesome as well.

Another timeless classic.

1000percent voice QUALITY!!

Drummer nailed it

if you think about it, it’s impossible to be or do better than this, this is as good as ‘it’ can possibly be, the vocal performance, the effortless ability with the guitar. Oh, and wooooow, that drumming. Who is it?

One of the best guitar players ever

as an old hippie from the days of "Traffic", I always appreciate any Steve Winwood performance.......being in my home state just makes it better !........

Back in the days of the counterculture my friends and I listened to Traffic endlessly, their place in the pantheon of rock greats is undeniable. IMHO, the first Traffic album holds a place right next to Sgt. Peppers as the best albums of '67. RIP Chris Wood and Jim Capaldi.

Stevie Winwood I've been listening to your music 1969. I have been playing music since then also. You never ever ever cease to amaze me

A stunning reading of the ancient texts by the very man who wrote them. Perfection and pure joy.

Steve winwood is the lord of ROCK !!!!!

His voice is amazing. It should be wrapped and preserved as a national monument.

Did yall see that beautiful sunset with that beautiful song..... cool just cool 😎

Your voice is God given Steve Windwood. Coming to Houston, Texas, April 3, 2022.

Imagine getting to play into that sunset. Well done Mr. Winwood.

a little reminder from Mr. Winwood. in case you forgot. wow.

This is a really amazing performance. The sunset is the perfect backdrop. I saw Steve Winwood twice live, as the opening act for Tom Petty. Cheers! ✌️

This music was so in tune with the times, it's uncanny!

5/31/04 Opened curtains from the honeymoon suite at Reno Hilton and thrilled to find a surprise, a birdseye view of Stevie's concert! Sweet memories ❤️

drummer: Walfredo Reyes Jr. Anyone who has that Mitch Mitchell vibe gets my attention. awsome. And yeah, that Winwood guitar playing ffs. how did i go so long without noticing it?

Wow… What a fantastic rendition of one of my all time favorite songs! Always fun to jam!❤️☮️🎸

That guitar. 😊👍🙌💛⭐

One of my all-time favorite musicians ever !!!

Sensational drummer too. Complements Winwood's superb playing, beutifully.

Certainly Steve is always surrounded with great and outstanding musicians to peak in every tune they play.Long live this truly great musician,his musical artistry will never stop.

Stevie W is brilliant. The toppermost of the poppermost.

Such an iconic stamp on the history of rock! 👏👏👏

Incredibly talented man : voice, guitar, keyboards. Humble and underrated

One of the very best Live performances ever!

Steve Winwood dishes out a great guitar solo here! Truly a Renaissance talent

PS: Great drummer too!

Ginger Baker posthumously approves of this drumming!

Definitely one of the greatest, if underappreciated musicians ever, in rock. Guitar, keyboards, and amazing, soulful vocals-thank you Steve, and for whoever put this on….

I love Steve's blue-eyed bluesy-jazzy-blues! His music and voice have inspired & uplifted me for decades. Thank you Steve Winwood and may you & your loved ones be Divinely blessed eternally ~ your music must be reaching the highest levels of the cosmic fabric of consciousness-Life! Your so fine, you blow my mind...Keep on truckin' (as they used to say in the 1970s :-)

The man has sang it the best ever

Stevie is a timeless classic! Pound for pound the best ever .... just check out all the bands and folks he's influenced. Thank you sir.

A UNIQUE TYPE OF ROCK!!

I’m raising my glass to Walfredo Reyes Jr. 🍺 You, Sir, are one of my heroes. Hell of a pair you two make!! ❤️‍🔥🎸🥁

One of my all time favorite songs, no body can touch this

Steve Winwood is the great unsung hero of British rock 'n' rock. He was there when it all started back in the mid 60s, and in guitar terms deserves to be in the same room as Page, Clapton, Beck and Townshend, But he is also also wizard keyboardist, so that makes him even more of a rock 'n' rock all rounder than any of the aforementioned.

Man this is awesome!!!

Nobody can do this song like the OG

Damn!!!!! This is good

For a live concert, the sound quality of the recording is top notch!

What a perfect show, just me and Steve❤

Came for some Steve, stayed in captivation for the drummer.. As a percussionist, that style of rock beat with blues/jazz fills is so fun to play

Great musicians come and go, but Steve never wavers from sheer brilliance, heart and soul music. The very definition of lifelong talent. As for Dear Mr Fantasy.....I need to listen to it every day. Thank God for KZfaq and Steve Winwood.

What an underrated talent, one of the best , bloody hell hes been playing professional since mid 60s

He has the most unique voices in the world ... and the way he pulls you in during a guitar solo ... That"s why I keep coming back to this video... and then there is Arc of a diver ...

Such a unique voice. ♥️ best wishes from Ireland.

This was 20 years ago... whoa!

Saw Traffic open for the dead a handful of times and Winwood et al impressed me everytime. Seems like Winwood put his hands on every instrument and ripped them all.

If You Heard only this song and gimme some lovin' it's enough to understand this guy is the Best!

One day I was walking past a theater in Phoenixville PA.. there was a tour bus and it was Keith Emerson hanging out with his crew on the sidewalk having a smoke.. I wanted to stop and talk to them but my girl friend was shooting me along.. I'll never forgive her for that.. and we're no longer together coincidentally... and the dust settles again.. much love and gratitude Steve... oh PS I did see Richie Havens at that same theater.. one of his later shows and I remember him telling the audience that don't expect the mothership to come rescue us.. was Sage advice and I agree.. only our standing Military Officers United cohesively for the purpose have more Authority than the Sovereign military Order of Malta scoundrel hubris

The note selection here in the Intro: comes as a enthralling surprise to the ears. It is an alternate voicing compared to the studio version and perhaps evokes a higher perspective in being something different and new. Very tasty lick right from the get go and Steve keeps things fresh and lively ! `LIKED'

The only thing that would make this better is if it didn’t have a ad in the middle of it!

Steve Winwood , dieser Mann ist einfach nur genial !!! ❤❤❤😊😊😊

Oh I absolutely love this song. If I hear it in the car, no speaks! His voice is what pulls me to him. I cannot get enough of this song. It is slow but reaches your soul. He sounds wonderful.

I was of the generation that we were glad that the British were coming.. and my sister had a friend that worked at the record Importer

This one of my favorite performer of all time and i speak for multitudes of fans..brilliant voice...and his hammond b 3 work is flawless.

This one definitely coloured my life growing up in the sixties. What an amazing song.

The man is a true Superstar !

My hero of all musics period

This tune does everything to ya that Steve sings in it thats for sure its the best tune on Earth... It can also make you pick up your strat and Rock it out! Lol"

I've heard this song a million times and this has to be the best live rendition of them all.

Now that's a buildup to the final Crescendo, incredible. I would never have expected a distorted guitar like this from Mr. Winwood. Nice surprise.
