Our favorite part of collecting live music comes when incredible new recordings surface that we didn’t previously know about. Just this week we came across four pristine quality shows that kept us throughly entertained. As always, we share our finds with you on a weekly basis…as we go Grousing The Aisles:
Steve Winwood w/ Eric Clapton 05/19/2007 FM (FLAC, MP3):
We reported on the epic Winwood/Clapton collaboration on Saturday, and now we’ve come across a crispy FM recording of the quasi-Blind Faith reunion. Clapton joined Steve Winwood’s band for the last seven songs of their set at the Countryside Rocks festival. You can judge for yourself whether this was a monumental sit-in or two old guys trying to re-live their former glory days (I personally think the music is quite entertaining). Sure it’s weird that Winwood felt compelled to play guitar for a few of the songs, but when Steve is singing and Eric is ripping, the songs sound amazing. I particularly like Clapton’s inspired wah-playing during Presence of the Lord.
Video from the webcast of this show is also available to stream or download. For our loyal readers we’ve provided 320kbps Tagged MP3s of this bad boy.

Few bands in recent memory have caught the ears of this reviewer like Stars of Track and Field. This Portland-based trio has sprung into indie musical consciousness, with but one full-length to their credit, creating a repertoire of gorgeous, riff-laden, perfectly-crafted pop songs.
Perhaps passively, but probably not even remotely inspired by Lou Reed’s New York, Sonny Smith shares his experiences living in an especially underprivileged neighborhood in Oakland on Fruitvale, and it’s safe to say the local chamber of commerce and tourism bureau will not be any busier because of it.
