DURHAM - Steve Winwood put on an extraordinary show for the Triangle at the Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC) this past Tuesday, February 9th.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Member and Grammy Nominee gave an exhilarating performance, including a 20-minute version of “Light Up Or Leave Me Alone.”

He opened with “I’m A Man,” but also played “Dear Mr. Fantasy,” “Can’t Find My Way Home,” Light Up Or Leave Me Alone,” “Low Spark of High Heeled Boys/Empty Pages,” Pearly Queen.” He also added “Gimme Some Lovin’,” as the encore.

Steve Winwood’s show brought the audience to their feet after he gave a great rendition of “Can’t Find My Way Home.”

Since DPAC is a smaller venue, the audience was able to really connect with Winwood’s songs on a very personal level.

His current tours and albums “Nine Lives” and “Live from Madison Garden” are paving an exceptionally successful and rewarding future for Steve Winwood.
