Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood Mining a Rich Shared Past for Upcoming Tour : Rolling Stone

Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood

Summer Tour 2009

Tickets $45-$175

WHAT TO EXPECT:
Last year, Clapton and Winwood reunited for a three-night stand at Madison Square Garden, busting out nuggets like Traffic's "Pearly Queen" and Blind Faith's "Can't Find My Way Home." Now, the duo are bringing the collaboration to the rest of America on a 14-date arena tour. The pair have worked up some new material for this outing: "I'd like to try my song 'Help Me Angel,' " says Winwood. "And last year, I was having trouble singing harmony while playing guitar on Eric's 'Pretending.' I'd like to have another go at that."
