I saw Ginger baker in concert about 12 years ago when he was touring with Brian May the esteemed guitarist for Queen when he was on his own in Rhode Island. I believe he recently died.
Started singing this to the cops in Palo Verde one night when they found me walking drunk in the middle of the road....They gave me a ride to my house!
Oh my God...Steve Winwood , Eric Clapton, the Stunning Ginger Baker, and the very skilled Mr. Rick Gretch...Amazing...A true Super Group! tremendous Beautiful music I love these guys and this song...how good is this? "Rock the House"!
I have the same model guitar ( not the exact same guitar) that Eric and Paul McCartney had. I just found that out 2 weeks ago, and it made me very happy :)
This song is about a decadent man who has been living the good life (the "throne"), but is about to die, becoming purely spirit ("leave your body alone"). The man will then meet God. "Home," of course, is Heaven. The man singing is questioning his “wasted” life, which is rapidly coming to an end. Now the man laments what he didn't do, as he waits longingly to meet Christ (the "one I have been waiting for all these years"). This is a very spiritual song from BLIND FAITH.
been a Winwood fan since the start and he still gets me big time. this is a version of this song i've never heard before. interesting mix. thanks for posting. completely agree with mzfreckleface but i'll say it again i fucking love Winwood
And into us, in and out, up and down, all around, circle of hands, full circle's. ??
To all resolve. To perceive, Blind shall see, all that's been shewed unto you
and me. On High, Angles are coming down, thou unseen, more than one's wildest dreams. For the righteous unto Gods perfect plan. from the day of creation. To fulfill prophesy, restore salvation, and judge every single soul. It is coming. You guys were chosen, and i love ya's man.
@cocochanelleke not so silly. the hippies played a role in preventing WWIII. It's complex, but Nixon used the anti-war movement in negotiations with China-along with China's paranoia about Japan. I never take it for granted that a nuclear war didn't happen.
I was just talking to my Uncle last night about the TONE of the music of the 60's and early 70's. Its' Soooooooo TASTY, Dirty and Raunchy. It washes over you with Sonic Goodness ..... REAL MUSICIANS who could ACTUALLY PLAY their INSTRUMENTS and not run through Endless Takes to get Just the RIGHT ONE or Use Stacks of Pitch Correction, Sampling, Overdubs, Sequencers ....... NOPE ....... Just Plug In .. JAM .. Record .. Then go do a Show all the same day !!!!

It's groovy that Winwood & Clapton still play gigs together. Best of both worlds: Cream & Traffic.
