Happy birthday, Steve Winwood! 74 today [View all]

I posted this video from 1967, a live performance in Finland, back in February in Music Appreciation -- https://democraticunderground.com/103470788 -- but I want to post it here in the Lounge for Steve's birthday... in part because it's the video featured in the Wings of Pegasus analysis video uploaded yesterday, which I'll post below.

Editing to add that although the analysis video gives Steve's age then as 17, he was 18. That performance was in February of 1967, according to what I was able to find on Google.
