Just wanted to tell you that Hungarian state TV (comparable to BBC1) showed the movie (with Hungarian subtitles) yesterday evening - so my wife could for the first time not just enjoy the wonderful music and pictures but also get the gist of the talking ... Really was a great experience for her - she had never seen it this way before ... If you'd have told anyone in communist Hungary

This discussion was really funny. If you're not sure about EC, just get the DVD "EC and Steve Winwood live at MSG" ... I'm so glad we got our tickets to see them open air in Munich this summer ...

Hi whiskey - I am your age (be 67 in March) and also feeling fine, still going to rock concerts with my wife (she is 64) and marveling at performers in our age group like Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood ...

Blind Faith also played UMT - it is on their DVD "Live from Hyde Park". Steve Winwood singing is obviously completely different from Mick... What do people here think about that version ?
