"Greatest Hits Live is something of a misnomer as applied to Steve Winwood's expansive in- concert collection. Not that the title doesn't contain his most well-known numbers, because it does, ranging all the way from his days as a teenage wunderkind ("Gimme Some Lovin'") to his most mainstream commercial success ("Roll With It"). But over the course of two compact discs-or alternately, four vinyl LP's-this iconic British musician and songwriter offers a penetrating exploration of his days with the legendary band Traffic as well as his solo career, not to mention his abbreviated collaboration with Eric Clapton known as Blind Faith".
