Steve Winwood - Sea Of Joy Lyrics

Old times ? Always full of new things ...

Between Ginger Baker and Steve Winwood, you just can't lose.

As you can see...things were different back then; reasonable prices for all to see, no effen cell phones people listened and some danced with reckless abandon...for starts. All this ended in the early eighties, US Festival $25/12 hrs....catch it if you can.

There is no doubt some will never "get it". To my ears...pure genius. It was a special time for music. Nothing like it before or after. I was seventeen. What a great year it was.

I love it when Stevie's voice cracks. Why? Who knows? I just love it.

Always loved Steve growing up...Timeless

I used to dance like that

RIP RIC (BASS) AND GINGER. THIS STUFF IS THE MUSIC TTHAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY AND PROUD. THE SHIT KIDS ARE FORCE FED ON TODAY MAKES ME CRINGE..

Ginger stievie Eric sea of joy oh n Chris staton

Same Staton who performed with Joe Cocker ?

To Many Peter Edward Baker WAS the drummers drummer.

GREAT BAND! My first concert......

Ginger was such an innovated percussionist. We all wanted to be him. RIP

"Close enough to be jazz" RM...RIP GINGER

lol at the boat on the horizon 0:24

Rest in peace, Ginger Baker ... died Sunday 10/06/2019

RIP Ginger Baker

Fly In Peace the great Ginger Baker...soundtrack of my youth

RIP Ginger Baker

Ric Grech on bass a fellow Leicester lad living just up the road from me. I met him in the 80s when he was in bad health from years of drink abuse-----what a nice guy he was and a very talented musician, we had some good conversations-----RIP Ric

I love how he pushes so hard with the vocals that his voice cracks. How else can a man be expected to reach this fine line between screaming and singing? He’s singing with passion and letting go like crazy!
Winwood can hit notes whoever he wants to. Reminds me of Chaka khan.

Winwood have a High level of musically

washy your hands eric…………….not good example...……...

Very understated Clapton tasteful brilliance here.

He's missing his humbuckers... got the middle position on that tele

Love how this song balances light & dark musical elements, somehow foreboding and relaxed at the same time.

It just happens the way it did that's the way it happens in Rock she's fickle hilarious but she can also cut your ask anybody in the music industry! They did what they needed to do blind face made all the great music they could have that's it!

lol, at the very beginning, from the crowd at 2 seconds in you can hear someone yell: "We want Cream!" lol

Im 57, been a drummer my entire life, mom had Dylan, Blind Faith, joe cocker, santana, Allman bros albums but i seemed to like alice cooper, montrose and ELP..
But i have been going thru the history of steve winwood (spencer davis, BF, traffic) for the past few daze here on YT and i feel rather dumb that i didnt realize/remember how many KILLER TUNES he was part of.
Havent got to his solo or SD stuff because im still digging up Gems from
Traffic & Blind Faith that i completely!! Forgot from my youth.
It all started by watching bill murrays last appearance on letterman and the Band was playing Empty Pages.
Its been a Stevie Winwood Ride for the past 3 Daze.
AMAZING TALENT....
Thanks YT for allowing me to rediscover this musical bliss.

Bristol Britannia @ 1.26 , never saw that on the day, must have been somewhat off to the right and behind me.

What a concert. Wish I could have been there!
Ginger Baker - drums
Eric Clapton - guitar
Rick Grech - bass
Steve Winwood - voice, keys

Blind Faith live in Hyde Park, 1969 - "Sea of Joy"

🎶💃✌😎🌻🌼🌷💕❤

Short but oh so sweet and deep.

Love you blind faith.<3<3<3

Windwood sounda like his voice isn't warmed up. In his concert with Clapton on YouTube he actually sings these better than in Hyde park

Blind faith is one of those tapes your wore out and realized, you need to go get another one! Every song gets a A, as history goes by!

Did someone yell, "we want Cream!" in the begining?

Here we see a divorce between the group, the music and the audience. The group,want to avoid , not very convincingly I admit, the trappings of what is to come ie heavy metal, Led Zeppelin et al, ut they can’t, it,s too late, they already belong to the past, they have lost.

1:25 Bristol Britannia?

How many stoners still alive 40 years later..

Who did the violin solo on the original track???

Wow! 50 years ago this month (7 June 1969). Still fresh and summery. Who else is here from 2019?

Eric’s blind faith Tele with the Brownie neck...amazing tone

Great song but not the same without the violin

I think this is better than the studio version.

Que bella cancion, revive mis sueños de joven

Rock marihuana y cerveza....

I just like the clarity of it all
You have to hand it to the music mixer

One of the most talented under-rated musicians ever.! A great blend with Clapton

5:05 - Man from the 80s discovers time travel, goes to see Blind Faith.

Well ill be damned but that surely does look like donovan doesnt it ?

Awesome memories.

There's so much expression in Winwood's vocals... You can get the feeling even without understanding the lyrics.

I was thhere!

I think it's delightful that this band did not progress further
For the mere fact that it was brilliant and ground breaking for the time

what tuning is Clapton on?

I'd give anything to have seen this live..

love my man eric vid pos 3:42
xoxo

Take a last look at what peaceful beautiful times that White culture could produce... when it wasn't poisoned and destroyed by the influx of black and brown cultures.

is this ironic ??? - then it's a pretty distasteful joke , could be one of mine !!! ...
- after all ,,, at least 3 /7th of this great dose of noise in our history is thankx to the influ..-ences of such people you seem to loathe !!

Was there actually any problems in the world in 1969, even if there were listening to music like this made you forget them as it still does today

Wow Clapton is playing a Telecaster

Was the sun always shining back then? Today it would be pissing down!

STILL "HANGING ON TIGHT TO MY "THRONE-LOST THE CASTLE 12 YRS AGO-""U R THE REASON IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG, WAITING FOR THE KEY,WAITING & I CANT FIND MY WAY HOME"(THEY TOOK IT AWAY ON A DOLLY)

really underrated song

Listen, version "los nuevos shains- sea of joy"

i was 19 then today 69 ... my happy b-day treat to myself

14 then, 64 now. But it was just yesterday, maybe last week.

Same, but it's a year later now and old Ginge has died, the crazy bugger.

i was 19 then today 69 ... my happy b-day treat to myself

CLASSIC.

Ginger Baker forever

beautiful singing...

Pure Perfection....

Everything about this video and their performance is great, thank you for posting!

dac10012 & to anyone who cares...
i just sent this great concert footage, to a families site, who could see the value in such a Sea of Joy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feu3bMEYuNI

Fantastiques,mais helas ephemeres BLIND FAITH
UN TRES GRAND MOMENT DE VRAIE MUSIQUE

Oh 269, I'm that # comment. I like that number and I love this number. Ginger is amazing.

Beautiful job of putting this stuff together by a group of guys who all could have been elsewhere doing other rockstar stuff. Melodic and intense. Happy and sad. Aggressive and restrained. Clapton at his best. Steve happy as a jaybird.

So very groovy.

Questo filmato e la musica ricreano bene l'atmosfera di quegli anni

OMG .... the first time I ever got drunk this was the "theme song" ... never to be forgotten. I'm now 69 .... :-)

I love Stevie Winwood, always have .For me he was greatest in Traffic. And this video being from the very first Blind Faith concert? Amazing... bewitching...!!! However, Ginger Baker 's a legend, no arguments there, but in my book he was never a great drummer, just acceptable, yeah!!!

Davie McEvoy He could play way beyond what he did, but he came from an era where drums served the music. I think he is excellent and ahead of his time. His feel is organic yet he is technically proficient. The more I learn about drumming, the more I appreciate Baker. He’s a tough one to understand upon first glance.

@Barren Savant absolutely d'accord !!

This feels so good. Thx for sharing.

Year 1969

I'd heard this gig was some sort of debacle. Every things awesome to me. Wish i was there.

It's so cool this is just freely available on YouTube. Really a treasure

WHAT WOULD I HAVE GIVEN UP TO " PLAY A' W/THESE SUPER TALENTED MUSICIANS? HMMM. NOT MY 1ST BORN; NOT MY "HORN"; NOT MY SWEETIE,,WELL. GOT IT: EVERY CAR I EVER DID OR WILL OWN, EVEN THE 63" THUNDERBIRD IN BRITISH RACING GREEN.

Love peoples bashing when todays pop stars can't even sing without lip-syncing or auto tune. He's also playing the keyboard and he's pretty young here too.

What a band.

48 years later those dudes at :08 are still there dancing. Yeah drugs are bad

That, ladies and gentlemen, is your Supergroup in earnest ! I just wish one, some or all of them would write & record a tribute to George Harrison, like George Harrison did for John lennon. They all owe him and John big time.

I can't begin to liken this to the Beatles. This is far, far beyond.

Outstanding vocal performance...

Is that Donovan dancing at 5:07? Is there any film of his fine support set at this show? I looked for myself under the trees without success. I remember at the time that there was a definite sense of anticlimax at the end, but this performance still sounds good.

this is the only blind faith live performance?!?! i would give my left testicle to be there

The only VIDEO of Blind Faith in concert. They did lots of concerts, and there is audio of most of them (not that great quality) . The set lists are mostly the same though. Some of the US tour hey were doing Means to An End by Traffic, and sometimes Crossroads.

ブラインドフェイスの曲ではこの曲が1番好き！

Tremendous. 'Effing tremendous. Amen, Brother.

I was there... It was reet gradely

Gotta like the girl's airplane from the original record, sitting on the piano...

Woow Stevie voice cool.

Do what you like.......!!!

the door really did swing into space on this performance. Thanks

I've never understood why Steve winwood was great, until i've heart this song.

Ignaci
Probably like many others, you’re practically tone deaf!
Hard to admit!

1.45sec. So it seems hippies did grow on trees back then

Excellent  music raw form all good

i remember it like yesterday

The guy in the tree at 1:40 is like "welcome to '69 don't mind me I'm just tripping my ass off in a tree"
