    He's added 3 extra at the Royal Albert Hall in October (start). First
    three are sold out.
    
    Will post dates if you want 'em.

175.2Steve Winwood recordingsMARVIN::MACHINWed Aug 24 1988 17:138
    This is the note to ask people of any albums they know of on which
    Steve Winwood plays some keyboards. I know of (all the SW albums),
    Peter Gabriel's "So" (is that the one?) and John Martyn's "One World".
    -- oh, and the Traffic albums. 
    
    Any others?
    
    Richard.

    GO
    
    GO (Live from Paris)
    
    Both were Stomu Yamashta efforts - vocals from Winwood certainly,
    but not too sure on the kb front.

175.6Not Another Classic AlbumYUPPY::OHAGANThu Aug 25 1988 12:326
    He also plays k'bds on Talk Talk's 'The Colour of Spring'. 
    
    This appears to be a 'one-off' classic album.

175.7IOSG::BOWIEScott Bowie, BOSE Advanced DevelopmentThu Aug 25 1988 16:154
    I think he also plays on Marianne Faithfull's first album. (Maybe
    the later ones too...)

175.8HmmmmARGUS::CHILTONI am a rock, I am an islandThu Aug 25 1988 17:044
    
    He played Great Woods here earlier in the week and got a terrible
    review...too plastic, too "Hollywood", no imagination, "invisible"
    backup singers and band.

    On the spur of the moment I bought Steve Winwood's current album
    I wasn't disappointed.   On one of the radio stations here - 
    Radio (pronounced Raaadyo) Monte Carlo - it's been featured
    quite heavily, particularly the last track on side 2 (Shine On?).
    Has this (or any other track for that matter) been released as
    the next single in the UK yet ?
175.11"Shining Song", I think..MARVIN::MACHINTue Sep 06 1988 13:5910
    No next single yet -- in fact the amount of play given to the remix
    of "Valerie" (off the 'best of' album (and for once much better
    than the original mix)) suggests *it* was re-released as a single
    not long ago. 
    
    Needless to say, with the sort of pea-brain mush in the charts at
    the moment, SW singles don't get anywhere. Good job they don't need
    to -- at last the album sales bear witness to his talents.
    
    Richard.
175.12Been doneBISTRO::WARDWed Sep 07 1988 13:143
    I have the original "Valerie" in my collection from the cold winter
    of 1982/83.   It was re-released earlier this year and did well
    both sides of the Atlantic (as I recall).

175.14Any Idea?CHEFS::MICOTTINThu Sep 22 1988 21:5411
    Me again..
    
        Talking of that song in .13 , anyone know what the first line
    is? Can't make it out...sounds like: `Stuck up in a clear blue
    morning..'
    Or: `Stoke up on a clear blue morning..'
      D'you think he could be a closet steam train driver?
    
    Ideas please..
    Vicky
    
175.15NRMACK::ULDREDave EdwardsFri Sep 23 1988 13:126
    To me it sounds like:
    
    "Stand up in a clear blue morning"

You came so close, but it's "Woke up to (in?) a brand new morning". 
A couple lines later he says something about a "cold day dawning".

    re: .-1
    
    Are you sure?? I listened to it again and I'm sure he says:
    
    "Stand up in a clear blue morning...."

    Does anyone have the sheet music?

    RE: .17 I concur.
175.19HAZEL::STARRYou ain't nothin' but fine, fine, fine!Mon Sep 26 1988 17:328
re: .17

No, I'm not sure - you may very well be right! I guess I always thought
that "Woke up" made more sense than "Stand up", so I thought that was it.

But since when did rock and roll lyrics 'make sense'?  8^)

175.20Stand up ..VAXWRK::CRAIGMon Sep 26 1988 17:352
    
    The album lyrics say "Stand up ...."
175.21Well there you go!CHEFS::MICOTTINWed Sep 28 1988 16:126
    So, have we decided on `Stand up in a clear blue morning' then!
    My penchant for closet steam train drivers goes ubfulfilled I suppose!!
