The old boys show it all

A long time ago, the two rock hero Clapton and Winwood once had a common project: Blind Faith and brought it exactly on an album in 1969. The mature older men meet now (2009) at Madison Square Garden and be simply the stars rise. As you can see the whole experience, the feeling and the Spirit. Each controls a few pieces out of his corner in, and JJ Cale is equal gecovert very skillfully and sensitively three times. They are supported, among others, Chris Stainton (ex-Spooky Tooth), who by playing the keyboards, especially if Winwood occurrences of behind his beloved Hammond and the guitar takes. Yes, the Hammond, a complex and expensive instrument, somehow antiquated but somehow cult and with an unmistakable sound. The can indeed imitate modern keyboards as Korg, but not the complex play. And only few have mastered yet in the music business, and these are mainly older men who come to us gradually lost biology, such as Jon Lord recently. These include safe even Ken Hensley, Rick Wakeman, Keith Emerson, in a way, Don Airey, Derek Sherinian and of course Steve Winwood. Singing behind his Hammond, it's easy. (Terrific).
Both Clapton and Winwood like to do vocally trips to the somewhat pinched heights, but this has always been so, comes as no surprise and not bad.
The double CD bristles with enthusiasm of the two older men, the surprising highlight is Voodoo Chile by Jimi Hendrix in a sweeping and fantastic live version.
Two that really still can play music, it will show here to still live, the young guitar hero, of which there are (unfortunately) are fewer and fewer; because it is much easier to do so with samples at the computer music. But under the skin will not do; the only the elderly, such as Clapton and Winwood. Therefore, 5 star, even for lifetime achievement.
