Title: Steve Winwoods pupils
Post by: glocke on January 28, 2017, 07:25:35 AM

Every time I see this and Steves pupils it cracks me up...Amazing he can be that high, keep it tougher and play that well on guitar which wasn't really his primary instrument.

There was a lot of that going around; for seriously crazed-eye playing, find video of Ginger Baker with Cream.   In the documentary Beware of Mr. Baker, Ginger talks about mixing coke, smack & acid in their hypos before a gig.  Seemed to work for them.........

Dave Mason was not in Traffic very long so a lot of the early years they gigged as a trio with Steve playing either organ or guitar depending on the song. He has always had great guitar chops.

I remember seeing Traffic on that tour in Charlotte.  That's all I remember.
