Steve Winwood

I’ll admit to not being super familiar with Steve Winwood. When I was younger, my mother had the Back in the High Life album! but that’s the extent of my knowledge. About half of his set was material from his former band Traffic. The only song in the set that I knew was “Higher Love,” and I was surprised not to hear the title track off of Back in the High Life.

That said with my limited knowledge of his material, I was impressed with their sound. At 66 years old, Winwood still sounds amazing. Even not being familiar with the material, had I been blindfolded, I would have been able to identify it as him.

Setlist
I’m a Man
Them Changes
Can’t Find My Way Home
Medicated Goo
Low Spark of High Heeled Boys
Empty Pages
Higher Love
Dear Mr. Fantasy
Gimme Some Lovin’

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are firing on all cylinders while celebrating their recent album, Hypnotic Eye making its debut at Number 1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. What better way to celebrate than with a sold out show at Fenway Park?

Petty ripped through a 20 song set covering hits from all corners of his 40 year career. He had an extremely positive demeanor… really looked like he was having the time of his life. His voice sounded great, and The Heartbreakers were solid, never missing a beat.
