Tell the truth (Winwood and Clapton) (LP 1041)

Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood  Live From Madison Square Garden (CD and video, Reprise Records, 2009) ****  

GenreBlues rock 

Places I remember: Tron Records in Hamilton (CD); Electric City Music (Napier) for the VHS.

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Had To Cry Today

Gear costume: Voodoo Chile

Active compensatory factors: For some reason this is something of a rarity. I had been after a copy for a few years until I stumbled upon one last year in Hamilton's Tron Records (great shop - well worth your time when visiting Hamilton).

Then I managed to find a copy of the video of the concert last month in Napier. 

This was a great reunion concert featuring these old friends and the video adds a lot to the experience as you can sense the friendship from the pair.

Songs come from each of their solo careers, Derek and The Dominos, Traffic and Blind Faith, plus some Hendrix covers that are standouts.

Where do they all belong? A one off it seems as they haven't recorded anything together since then.
