Sing a Song, Play Guitar, Make it Snappy

Here's a really nice live concert video of Steve Winwood doing his classic song Dear Mr. Fantasy in 2003 with Walfredo Reyes Jr. on drums and Randall Bramblett on organ.

If you believe the folks on YouTube, this one is either “amazing,” “excellent,” “brilliant,” “penetrating,” “a great cut,” “unbelievably great,” “epic,” “fantastico,” “pure talent and artistry,” “incredibly moving,” “indecently good,” “utterly fantastically brilliant,” “a psychedelic masterpiece,” or just plain “DAMN.”

I say it doesn't matter what you call it, just turn up the sound and let it rip. About two-thirds in watch for a beautiful sunset and incredibly soulful guitar work, either of which will certainly melt your face.

Dear Mr. Fantasy can be found on Traffic's debut album Mr. Fantasy.
