Steve Winwood - Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY, 4-24-2015

Pauls says :I posted about a week ago how there's been a recent leak of dozens of soundboard quality concerts at a Port Chester, New York venue. I'm still waiting on a lot of these. Every day, it seems someone or another is at least chopping up the single music files into songs. But since some are already converted, I can start posting those. I was feeling like listening to Steve Winwood, so I did this one.

Winwood hasn't released a new studio album since 2008. So he stuck to playing classics from earlier in his career. The only semi-recent song he played was "Dirty City," from 2008.

The sound quality is excellent (though in mono). The only tinkering I did was to boost the volume of the applause at the ends of songs, plus boosting the banter. Oh, and I boosted the volume of all the songs in general. For some reason, most of these Port Chester boots seem to have quite low volume settings.

This album is an hour and 15 minutes long.

01 I'm a Man (Steve Winwood)
02 Them Changes (Steve Winwood)
03 Pearly Queen (Steve Winwood)
04 Can't Find My Way Home (Steve Winwood)
05 talk (Steve Winwood)
06 Dirty City (Steve Winwood)
07 The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys (Steve Winwood)
08 Glad [Instrumental] (Steve Winwood)
09 Light Up or Leave Me Alone (Steve Winwood)
10 talk (Steve Winwood)
11 Higher Love (Steve Winwood)
12 talk (Steve Winwood)
13 Dear Mr. Fantasy (Steve Winwood)
14 Gimme Some Lovin' (Steve Winwood)

Curiously throwaway cursory performance of his ‘greatest hits’ (sic) short set on content and performance still guess he got paid eh? Stevie phoned it in here after the days long Traffic concerts turning the fine band into the UK’s Grateful Dead with interminable stoned jam sessions now we get this 10 songs and outa there!

Disappointing but hey whatcha gonna do? For completists I guess
