I saw this tour in Minneapolis. I think it was the tour opener? It wasn't supposed to be, but something happened where the original first two dates were postponed or canceled.
Great show.

Wasn't it just the two of them from the band? Winwood and Capaldi? I know at some show either the Dead were there or at least Jerry and I think he played on Dear Mr. Fantasy.
Listen, Winwood and Capaldi CAN do Traffic on their own, the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame performance is proof of that. But I'd probably rather they call it Winwood or Capaldi at that point. Not sure the name Traffic actually has THAT much more pull, and the two of them don't really make Traffic. It was a BAND, but yeah, looking back on what I know about that tour it seemed like they were grasping for it.

Yes I saw it at the Universal Ampitheater in L.A. and it was fantastic!
Originally an outdoor venue at Universal City, they put a roof on it in 1982 with a capacity of apprx. 6,000. The name changed to Gibson Ampitheater in 2005,
and it was ultimately closed down to make room for a Harry Potter themed piece of crap for Universal Studios.
Saw many great shows there including Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Traffic, and many others.
A real shame they had to close it as it was such a cool venue, but the memories will live on forever....

Shoreline Amphitheater. Really solid show. Winwood is one of my favorites. When he is playing with Clapton I will be there. I caught 17 of the Clapton Winwood shows and a friend had tickets for the Japanese run but there was the issue of the leaking nuclear power plant and a big work deadline that derailed that trip.

I saw one of those fantastic shows at the Hollywood Bowl with my wife. And as time has marched on, I've probably seen Steve Winwood solo live more times than Clapton.
He's my wife's favorite, and he seems to come around here more often - mostly very small venues such as the Wiltern, Pantages, and even Casino's.
While I always love to see him also, I've seen some Clapton solo shows in the past that are at the top of my all time favorites list .
My 22nd birthday in 1985 at the Universal Ampitheater probably the best of the bunch - a truly memorable birthday. Clapton 1985
While not a solo show (though he did have a mini solo-set)The ARMS Benefit will always be at the top though and it was the first time I ever saw him.
It might have been even better had Winwood been there - he was replaced by Paul Rogers for the US shows.

The ARMS show was tops in star power. Clapton had been touring all along turned out a good set. Beck and Page had been of the road for a few. Becks set was stellar. The Winwood/Clapton show at Msg was one of greatest shows I have been too in recent memory

I think Joe Cocker was the one who was supposed to be the replacement for Winwood at the U.S. ARMS concerts.
Rogers came aboard too, and sang with Jimmy Page, which then led to their partnership in The Firm.
