I'd give the DVD five stars, mainly for what it adds to the equation: the visual aspect, which drives my interest anyway as a compliment to the audio. While it might seem counter-intuitive to grade musicians of this caliber by "what you can see", the DVD added such a great dimension to the show, in terms of WATCHING them solo and seeing the interplay between them, and their excellent band. The musicianship is excellent. The best make it look so effortless. Plus they're clearly having a good time up there. The video and audio are excellent. Disc 2 with the extras is good. Interviews, some background on Clapton and Winwood's 60's works, their time together in Blind Faith, and behind-the-scenes work for the show. There are also a couple of bonus cuts, which didn't make the "main" concert. Overall, the disc set was definitely worth the money, and if you're a fan of either Clapton or Winwood, and have any inclination to buy this, then absolutely do so. You won't be disappointed.Read full review
When I found out eric and steve winwood where playing the garden i wanted to go see it live, i just couldnt do it. So when the dvd was released i jumped on the chance to see the first so called supergroup. I was amazed at eric"s layed back but peircing guitar work, and winwoods voice is simply graceful. Together they truely can be described as super. Steve winwood, known for his talented piano, organ playing blew me away with his blistering axe work. There tributes to jimi hendrix (little wing, voodoo chile) sent chills over me literally. I was blessed to take my 13 year old son who has been playing guitar for 2 years, as i have been playing for 20 yrs to see Clapton and Winwood live june 15th at columbus ohio. The set list was allmost the same as madison square garden and it is a show my son nor i will ever forgetRead full review
I purchased this dvd because I was at the feb. 26th,2008 concert at msg and wanted a momento of that magical evening. To tell the truth the Dvd is MUCH better than the live show. The sound at Madison square gardens in my opinion "sucks". I am not sure what all the hype is about that venue. But the Concert DVD is perfect, great sound, close ups and interviews. I have bought two of the limited edition dvd/cd sets and this one dvd i purchased for a very good friend. All in all it makes an excellent edition to any library especially to those who truly appreciate the greatness of Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood.
Super DVD - great service! The other band members are great to see over the years - they play perfectly together. Eric was finally wearing a wet/wrinkled silk shirt by the time the concert was over. Stevie is so talented - he must have learned to play the day he was born! The audience was much younger tan I expected I'm glad to see them appreciate this type of music.
He wore out the first one he got by playing it so much
