My personal review and reflection:
This is a strange compilation. The first side is live tracks with Stevie Winwood from way back. The sound is terrible sometimes, but you can "touch" the explosive feeling. The second side is a mixture of "friends". Jeff Beck, Yardbirds, Clapton on other. Eric Clapton is on two tracks. "Monkey Business" is from the Yardbirdsalbum. Highway 69 is from the session with Sonny Boy Williamson in 1963.
