Had the pleasure of opening for Steve last year....he was great, down to earth and real. What a treat to see him perform solo!

Love Steve! My Sister and I first saw him in NYC at the Lone Star Cafe late 70's early 80's....many unforgettable nights!

Steve rocks! Woefully underappreciated, truly talented. Great lyricist too.

[nilsgrin]

[heatmanable]

[pippa284]

saw steve at the lowry in salford england great songs and brilliant singing

[Mrbasherjr]

saw him, free, at the channel in Boston. He's one of the best solo performers to date.

[halfback31]

this is great.

basically the only song you can clap to and not ruin the song.

[opdrummer]

Isn't that a great guitar lick, though? Like the Stones at their best. . .

[MacAggy]

@opdrummer Right on!

[AllotedDave]

Seen him quite a few times in London.

He is much better solo than with some loud band.

Much more expressive.

I saw him soundchecking one time and he kept having them turn his guitar down and when it got down to a whisper he said "perfect". Sounded just like you hear it in this video. It was genius - pulled the audience right in, right up to him. Makes the audience lean in to hear every note and word and every boot tap on the resonator board. The guitar is just accompaniment. He knows people aren't there to hear his guitar sound good and loud, they are there to have the song communicated.
