Comments:

Pretty good recording from the opening night of Steve Winwood's North American tour in Milwaukee. This seems awfully short, and focuses disproportionately on the Traffic portion of his career; hopefully as the tour continues he'll add in material from the intervening years. Seems like it was a nice show, but it seems like given the breadth of his discography, he could perform more than 12 songs and 105 minutes.

This is a pretty good audience recording, though a little distant. It is, however, very clear and has virtually no audience interference, so kudos to Samntuck for finding a good spot to record. It's a little heavy on the midrange, so I used Audio Cleaning Lab to punch up the higher and lower frequencies to give the recording a little more depth. Overall very listenable, particularly if you're a big Winwood fan and/or you happened to attend the show, in which case this should be more than a suitable souvenier.

Mp3 samples are included in the comments; many thanks to samntuck for making this available to the masses.
