A decade ago, Steve Winwood kicked off his set at Red Rocks with the iconic Spencer Davis Group hit âIâm A Man,â setting the tone for what would become a legendary night. In a surprising revelation, Steve shared with the capacity crowd that, despite a storied career spanning over 40 years and countless performances worldwide, this was his very first time playing at the iconic venue.
But Steve made the most of his debut in Morrison, delivering timeless classics like âCanât Find My Way Homeâ and âLow Spark of High Heeled Boysâ with unmatched energy. His hour-long set featured only one solo track, âHigher Love,â which had the crowd on their feet. The energy never dipped as he followed up with a stellar rendition of âDear Mr. Fantasyâ and closed the night with the irresistible, dance-inducing âGimme Some Lovinâ.â
Below are a series of photos from the event.

Last week, we highlighted the incredible ARMS Benefit Concert, and today weâre excited to share a rare gem from that very event! Weâve unearthed a clip of Steve performing the classic track â(Iâm A) Road Runnerâ.

The song raced to number 20 on the U.S. charts and later soared to number 12 in the UK in 1969. The original track was the title song of Junior Walker & the Allstarsâ successful 1966 album Road Runner.

Today, weâre taking a moment to remember an incredible event that happened on this day in 1983âThe Ronnie Lane Appeal for ARMS. This concert was more than just a gathering of legendary musicians; it was a heartfelt effort to raise awareness and funds for multiple sclerosis, a cause close to the heart of Ronnie Lane, ex-bassist for Small Faces and Faces, who was battling the illness himself.
Steve was among the incredible lineup of British rock legends that included Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Ronnie Wood, Andy Fairweather Low, Bill Wyman, Kenney Jones, Charlie Watts, and Ray Cooper.
One of the highlights of the night was when Steve joined forces with Eric Clapton for a powerful rendition of âRoadrunner.â Another standout moment came when Steve performed âGimme Some Lovinâ,â bringing the crowd to their feet with his infectious energy and iconic voice.
Steve also teamed up with Jimmy Page for âCity Sirensâ and âWhoâs To Blame,â adding his unique touch to the nightâs diverse setlist. These performances were emblematic of the incredible talent and heart that came together for a noble cause.
