Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood - 2007-05-19 - Berkshire UK (SBD)

Eric Clapton - 2000s: Few bands stayed together for less time, yet produced such a lasting legacy, as did Blind Faith.  They recorded one album, which when released in August 1969,  immediately went to number 1 on the Billboard charts. They toured in support of the album that same month, the band's only live perforances, except for their debut concert in Hyde Park in July.   Since the band had less than an hour's worth of material, they also had to play tunes from Clapton's days with Cream and Winwood's time with Traffic. Clapton was unhappy that the band was evolving into Cream, part 2, and by October, Blind Faith was no more.  It took almost 40 years for EC and Winwood to reunite for a live performance. On May 19, 2007, 9 years ago today, about halfway through Steve Winwood's set at the Country Side Rocks Festival in England, Slowhand strolled on stage to recreate history. This soundboard recording captures every note of that reunion. That night's collaboration was followed up by appearances together at Clapton's Crossroads festival in July 2007, 3 nights at Madison Square Garden in February 2008 and a joint tour in 2009.  The more things change, the more they stay the same!
