Come down off your throne and leave your body alone, somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting so long, somebody holds the key
Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home
Come down on your own and leave your body alone, somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting all these years, somebody holds the key
Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home

Do you feel the same way when musicians such as R.E.M. push their progressive views because "they have a platform"?
I love the song, love Clapton’s guitar playing, but don’t agree with his politics. Wish he would keep it to himself.

So beautiful. I was lucky to be there when they first played this onstage, at a free concert in Hyde Park, London, back when Clapton and Winwood were half of Blind Faith.

If all Winwood played was guitar he would be at the top. But the guitar is just one of the instruments he is excellent with. My first thought of Winwood is keyboards and he is as good as anyone else, maybe the best. Other than Traffic stuff, my favorite Winwood keyboard effort is on Voodoo Child, the 15 minute track from Electric Ladyland. The call and response back and forth between Hendrix's guitar and Winwood's organ on it is the very definition of that format.
Winwood may be the better guitarist here. Clapton can't play fingerstyle like that.

The original version would have rated a 10. But still excellent! I have the album, I treat it with reverence.
This song is in the Hollywood Director's Rescue Kit to be used when the movie is set around the Woodstock years and you have a really sad scene.
Magic... I miss playing music together with other people. Small towns suck for that...

TL;DR. Got drunk, drove drunk, got home.
Not much, nothing but a couple of the finest guitar players and songsters on the planet on same wavelength with a spot on drummer playing a little tune. Best cut I've heard this week. I always liked this song, mostly 'cause I could fully relate to the 'lost' premise. It reminds me of the night I saw Howard Hugh's "Hells Angels at the Unicorn Theatre in La Jolla. In the Mithras Bookstore it seated about 20. The projector used a special "color accurate" bulb that regularly burned out, making time for some Italian Ice. My dorm-mates had raided the Crystallography Lab through the underground service tunnel and come away with a dozen 500 ml bottles of 100% USP Ethanol. I'd already learned about Mexican Victoria Alcohol (known simply as 192) from the summer parties in Coronado. At 96% it is the highest alcohol percentage that can be distilled by ordinary means—without chemical dehydration of the last 4% water. Still, I was a smart ass and by the time the movie was over the spiked Italian Ice had taken it toll on me. I lost the argument with my concerned friends and token struggle for my car keys, declined a ride home to Coronado and said I'd walk to a girlfriend's house that was nearby. Bullheaded, of course, I was determined to drive home myself, so I pulled the spare ignition key I kept wired to the undercarriage of my TR4. I had no trouble driving, but was certainly over the legal alcohol limit. To avoid the La Jolla Fuzz (who always had a heavy presence and liked to pull over young drivers at random) I took off over Mount Soledad (a windy 6 mi. drive with many branches and a fantastic view. Unfortunately there was no view since within 2 blocks I ran into the thickest fog bank I'd ever encountered. Visibility was ~l5' and headlights (not even the brights) made it worse. I navigated (immediately got lost) from streetlamp glow to streetlamp glow. The provided just enough diffused light to see the pavement just in front of the car and there was always one light showing the way to the next. I must have driven every street at least twice but I always ended up in La Jolla near where I'd started. Just before dawn (5 hours later) I finally drove out of the fog bank and made it to the 5 freeway and home.
I'm certain the nearly no one will think much of my ramblings. There is, however an old friend whom I seldom contact. He was with me that night and is an RP fan. I never admitted my foolish odyssey to anyone and he sometimes looks for my RP posts in our shared musical likes. He'll get a chuckle. He also owned practically everything put on vinyl since 1966, stacks and stacks of orange crates full. If one got a scratch (highly, not likely) or a pop he replaced it. At college, he had the first real turntable I'd seen (Dual 1019, it changed records). He learned electronics hanging around his local TV repair shop as an adolescent; from which he picked up enough to get a summer job General Dynamics designing micro-miniature microwave transmitters to relay impact information back from sensors ice cap survey probes and military tank ammunition. Good night Larry. — Got this on vinyl? I know you have it on "Blind Faith".

There's a great version of this on Youtube - Steve Winwood solo on an acoustic guitatr in front of a fireplace.
Perfect - exept Hailey Reinhart next trying. That will be the god (I hope)
Great!!
This version is why we love RP: Not a bigly-yuge fan of Clapton nor Winwood. But I dig this song done this way.

Why don't we just rate musicians for their music. We don't rate/cancel politicians for their musical ability...
After learning about racist remarks from Clapton in the 70's with the highlight being that England should only allow whites and non-whites would never be welcomed.

I was fortunate to be there when they first played this as Blind Faith, with Ginger Baker on drums. Hyde Park, London, June 1969. Still love it.

There is a video on youtube.com which has Mr Winwood, seated, solo, adjacent to a fireplace. It is fantastic.
Every version of this song by these guys in whatever combination is a 10. It's my absolutely favorite song to play on my guitar.

Your comment reminds me of the 2013 documentary, 20 Feet from Stardom. Well worth a viewing for any rock music fan. Imagine Gimme Shelter without the female vocal - it wouldn't be 5% of the song that it is without Merry Clayton. Huge Steve Winwood fan
Saw them during this tour in Chicago. 10 live!!

Odd how Steve Winwood's voice on this one doesn't sound anywhere near as irritating as it usually does. Lovely stuff.

This is half a click off the live version recorded at the 2007 Crossroads festival (two drummers filling Baker's boots for that one) but I have upped it from 9-10 anyway. It's a gorgeous melody and lyric. Winwood was 19-20 when he wrote it. I saw what I think was their only UK show in Hyde Park. Entry was free. I didn't properly appreciate what I was getting at the time.
Great stuff!

If there is one song that just finds its way into my head and worms its way even deeper into my inner ear this is the one. It's not even one of my favorite songs. It just does that. What is its power?

Although this is great, I prefer the version with Derek Trucks added (and less (no?) crowd singing).
Up'd it from 9 -to 10. Wish I could go higher. I saw them during this tour. They are both still fantastic. Still passionate about they're music, and can still play better than almost anyone alive IMHO.

In the dubious pecking order of versions of this song this one might be half a tick behind the earlier recording from the 2007 Crossroads guitar festival. That's a solid 10.

Is it just me or are they playing a TON more live tracks recently compared to before?

Thanks LowFreak (spelling corrected). Great use of the SHIFT key!
I also dislike sentences beginning "so" and ending in "init" or "know what I mean", and don't get me started on "I was like..." to describe an action...

Is it irony that you made this comment during this particular masterpiece?
In 1976, Eric Clapton made a speech at a concert encouraging the British audience to vote for Enoch Powell, saying that Britain needed to "get the foreigners out, get the wogs out, get the coons out", and repeatedly shouting "Keep Britain White". In response, Rock Against Racism was formed.

THAT HAVING BEEN SAID, I FEEL LIKE it's a monumental LOL that those same TOOLS are too lazy to use a 'Shift' key or punctuation, and too DERP know the difference between 'to' and 'too', or 'there', 'their', and 'they're', or to think for themselves.
DOH!!1!11!!
We use those various twerks in the languge so (see? so there!) we can use the word AMAZING for everything. Some years ago, I listened to some bubba nattering about nothing, while I counted the number of times he began and ended every sentence with "Ya know?" And when he finished, I told him the number. He never forgave me.
But it was your use of a word unfamiliar to me, "derp" and my research withal that made the sun come out. Paul Krugman elaborates on the term, https://www.businessinsider.com/sorry-haters-derp-isnt-going-away-2013-6 From 2013 no less, but how could I keep up with Nobel Prize winners? I won;t include the meat of the meaning of "derp", too long, go to the article.
Derp is a spot-on word for rightwingers. And I'll enjoy applying it in the coming apocalypse for the Trump-afflicted party. Thank you LowPhreak.
Another reason to listened to RP.
So, why do we start everything with "so" now?

I thought I was the only one who thought this starting a sentence with "so" thing was ridiculous. I think it must now be taught in journalism school as I hear it frequently on podcasts, esp. the WSJ morning edition.

More excellent 60s music from RP, as to be expected. You'd have to be nuts to give Apple $10/month and not to RP. No advertising and an outstanding listening experience!

So I find myself somewhat confused. I quite like this song, but the problem is that it has EC in it... so I can't like this song because I really don't like EC. Oh, what to do?

I will be roasted over a fire for saying this but....I prefer this over the original.

I like that RP combines this very special version with the original one, both great but you can see of course the 40 years in between ... GREAT masters these two guys, back then, now and always!
Just relax and enjoy the music man! Prejudjes are never a good thing ...

Wow! Another great find on RP. I had no idea this album existed. Going to buy it now.
Was at these shows: wow...!
Live Music is Better. bumper Stickers should be issued.

Great song. They revisit a Blind Faith rendition, but w/o Ginger Baker, of course.

I think I prefer the EC Was Here version. I really like that whole album even though it's a live album; it was from Clapton's hey-day in about 1974, if memory serves me correctly.
I bought 'Blind Faith' in 1969, where this song debuted on what is an album classic.

Groovier than grooving groover grooving in a groove.
I was fortunate to be there when they first played this as Blind Faith, with Ginger Baker on drums. Hyde Park, London, June 1969. Still love it.
Me too.....at the back..cldnt see a thing..lol
