Rolling Stone --

Former Blind Faith bandmates Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton have booked fourteen arena dates in June!

Last February, we were lucky enough to report on the three historic shows at Madison Square Garden that paired Clapton with Winwood. Those gigs, which mixed Trafiic and Blind Faith gems, obscure cuts from their solo careers, and Hendrix covers, were truly amazing!!!

After that final performance, we visited Winwood's dressing room.

"He's still like an older brother to me," Winwood said about Clapton. "He brought me on, he gave me some spots, and it was fantastic. It was an incredible experience for me. To be able to bounce off a musician like that is just fantastic."

Here are the new dates:

June 10 East Rutherford, NJ Izod Center
June 12 Philadelphia, PA Wachovia Center
June 13 Washington, DC Verizon Center
June 15 Columbus, OH Schottenstein Center
June 17 Chicago, IL United Center
June 18 St. Paul, MN Xcel Energy Center
June 20 Omaha, NE Qwest Center
June 21 Denver, CO Pepsi Center
June 23 Dallas, TX American Airlines Center
June 24 Houston, TX Toyota Center
June 26 Glendale, AZ Jobing.com Arena
June 27 Las Vegas, NV MGM Grand Arena
June 29 Oakland, CA Oracle Arena
June 30 Los Angeles, CA Hollywood Bowl
