Steve not only played the organ, but also the bass pedals. He didn't attempt to recreate anything, and was that ever refreshing! There was lots of improvisation, and all of the songs turned into an extended jam. THIS is organic! He did some new songs that I wasn't familiar with, but he mostly played the classics.

40,000 Headmen
Pearly Queen
Can't Find My Way Home
Rainmaker
Higher Love
Back In The High Life
Dear Mr. Fantasy
Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys
I'm A Man
Crossroads (a la solo Clapton)
Gimme Some Lovin'

That sounds great! I've only seen him once, years ago. But I LOVED the show. He's an incredible talent. His show is ALL about the music, nothing superficial. That isn't the entire set list is it? Did he play any more of his solo stuff?

By the way, there was a Winwood Soundstage show that aired on PBS last year. It's going to be released on a full length DVD, I believe in August. I've already pre-ordered it.
