Histórica colaboración de Winwood y Capaldi, con excelencia musical y la fresca rebeldía

[@misterE-1989]

Desafortunadamente, Stevie Winwood no está aquí en esta actuación... pero realmente desearía que así fuera. ¡Me alegra que hayas disfrutado el vídeo!

@@FrankieHale-fk9kz Great percussions at that part.

[@robinhampshire8923]

Still think it is a great band....class right through.

This is not Traffic, this is Jim's band in 1976.

[@martywild6359]

Jim should have come out from behind the drums more!

[@soulhealer20]

he did for several years when the iconic Jim Gordon took over the drumming position.

[@chrisest1965]

How come I’ve never heard of this man? He’s very talented. Did he have a very short career? Thanks for posting and turning me on to some new music.

[@misterE-1989]

You're very welcome! He was a member of Traffic. He had an ambitious solo career, but never garnished much success or attention.

[@Baribrotzer]

"He was a member of Traffic." Exactly. For many years. Unfortunately, he had two strikes against him in terms of building a solo career: 1. He was Traffic's drummer. He was a good drummer, and he also wrote quite a few of their lyrics. But it's hard to front a band when you're the drummer. 2. He was overshadowed, in Traffic, by an even more talented man - Steve Winwood, who was their songwriter, vocalist, keyboardist, and guitarist, and superb at all of those.

[@frankkolton1780]

Here's Traffic live with Jim Capaldi singing, one of the few songs of theirs with him as vocalist. Traffic had two other great vocalists, Steve Winwood and Dave Mason. I did see Traffic do this song in 74 or 75, great show. Light Up Or Leave Me Alone kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKGpeqqVeNOai6c

[@Plateaudweller]

You should look into Jim's music more. He had some excellent albums...not your pop shit.... and great success with Traffic. The Last Great Traffic Jam was an amazing tour.

[@portcullis5622]

Jim Capaldi wrote some fine songs. My favourites being 'You've Taken Hold of Me' and 'You and Me', both featuring hauntingly beautiful guitar solos by Paul Kossoff (former Free guitarist).

[@kerrymcmanus9188]

He was the lyric writer with Traffic for shits sake

[@misterE-1989]

Definitely a key member. Mr Fantasy will always be one of the best albums of all time.

[@wk1810]

Didn't Jim Capaldi work with Paul Kossoff on Backstreet Crawler? Wonder when this TOGWT aired, Kossoff died in March of '76.

[@misterE-1989]

This aired in 1976. I'm not sure if Capaldi worked with Kossoff on that album (which is a great album) but I know they were friends. Capaldi's Boy With A Problem is about Kossoff.

[@rodmaknouni]

Jim Capaldi’s voice and songwriting is unreal! Him and Dave Mason edge out Steve Winwood imo, especially in regards to solo careers

[@misterE-1989]

I personally think Jim's solo career was the best, albeit the least recognized.

[@rodmaknouni]

@@misterE-1989 I think Dave Mason’s was the best (subjective of course), but Jim’s was definitely the least recognized

[@misterE-1989]

@@rodmaknouni Alone Together is a damn good album. Blew my mind the first time I heard it.
