Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

luiet ***"MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS"*** Truly, these two gentlemen, do not need to re-hash an old band from the 60's for the money of it, as so many older bands do! The words "Blind Faith" rarely appear, if at all! The Music? Does appear, better than ever! I'm an Eric Clapton fan, I always liked Steve Winwood and the back-up band is magnificent! Eric always goes that extra mile when playing with old friends and here? He outshines himself! I have all "Live DVD" Recordings by Mr.Clapton and after much scrutiny? This is overall, his best live performance to date! SPOILERS: The music is all great! They even do a Tribute to Buddy Miles, who had just passed away, by playing his hit song "Them Changes"! Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood play "Blind Faith" with EC's "Forever Man" wedged in! Until Track #6, "Glad", although done instrumentally only? It's what Eric Clapton was born to do! There's Such Grace & Fluidity in his playing! Steve Winwood plays from his library! Mr. Winwood's "Dear Mr.Fantasy" is the best version out there, specially live & with EC on guitar! Steve also recorded & played in the original version of Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile", which is the highlight here! The best total jam-out & absolute, jaw dropping guitar playing by the master himself, paying tribute to an old pal, mesmerizing his fans & all, while having fun doing it!

valis1949 "Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood: Live from Madison Square Garden" is a superb concert film. This film successfully and explosively highlights the musical artistry of two undisputed titans on the Blues/Rock Scene of the late 60's. Although Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood made only one album and one tour as 'Blind Faith', this highly rated musical unit paved the way for a new direction in the evolving sounds of Blues, Jazz, Soul, and Folk. In 1968 Clapton's band, 'Cream', was imploding due to personnel differences, and Winwood had left 'The Spencer Davis Group' to form a new jazz flavored outfit called, 'Traffic'. Problems within 'Traffic' led Winwood to team up with guitarist Eric Clapton for a series of jams to further stretch the boundaries of Rock. This interaction led to the formation of 'Blind Faith'. "Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood: Live from Madison Square Garden" is a documentation of some of the better songs from each man's work during this period in their musical history. Clapton staged a reunion with 'Cream' in 2005, and this proved to be a lackluster affair. However, this reunion at Madison Square Garden in 2008 is as fresh, vibrant, and musically challenging as it was in 1969. Each man offers up one-hundred and ten percent of his musical talent, and delivers a blockbuster performance. If you were a fan when 'the sound' was new, or you are exploring the roots of Rock, this concert is A Must See. Also, it must be noted that Netflix graciously provides the entire concert (two hours plus) on a single disc.

ccthemovieman-1 It's great to see these old pals now in their 60s and enjoying themselves and still entertaining as much as ever, playing music as good as ever. It's scary to remember these guys when they first played together in a band about 45 years ago. The two reminisce about it at length in a bonus feature on this concert DVD.Keyboard player Chris Stainton, who was a key instrumentalist in Joe Cocker's "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" group in the '60s, belongs with Clapton and Winwood, all being about the same age. It's always good to see the three above-mentioned guys playing together, along with the rest of the group.Song-wise, that's not a lot new (but even if it's familiar, it's still good) but I did really appreciate Clapton giving it a go on the famous Jimi Hendrix song, "Voodoo Chile." The only other guitarist I've ever seen attempt Hendrix's material was the late Stevie Ray Vaughan. Eric did just fine, too.Don't overlook the three "bonus" songs offered. For me, "Lowdown," with a great a rockabilly beat, was fantastic and another example of how you can't go wrong with these old pros.
