Steve Winwood - BBC in Concert, Manchester Opera House, Manchester, Britain, 5-22-1997

Here's another BBC concert, this time from Steve Winwood. 

I figure this one has to be seriously edited down. It's only 45 minutes long, and one would assume someone like Winwood would play concerts that are about an hour and a half long, at least. If there was any dialogue between songs, that's gone too. 

The result is that only the most popular songs remain. For instance, this dates from 1997, but there's almost nothing that he did from the 1990s. The lone exception is a cover of "Family Affair," which he put on his 1997 album, but it is a Sly and the Family Stone song from the early 1970s. Winwood didn't have any big hits in the 1990s. What remains are his big hits from the 1980s, plus three hits he did in the 1960s with the Spencer Davis Group. Curiously, there's nothing at all from his years with Traffic. These editing choices means the songs here have an emphasis on lively rhythm and blues.

As usual with BBC concerts, the sound quality is excellent.

The album is 45 minutes long.
