I saw Traffic in 1967/68 in Edinburgh. It was supposed to be a Jethro Tull gig but they got stuck in Europe somewhere. So, the replacement acts were, Traffic, Ten Years After & Family. They were excellent, & I loved 'Hole In My Shoe'

Jesus, what a lineup ! I would loved to see any of those bands during that period. Can you share any memories of Family as a live band ?
@billlarstead80192 жыл бұрын
Strolled into Copenhagen for a 4 day side trip just as a two day Rock-fest was staged in an airplane hanger. Got to see Family in August of 71’ w/ John Wieder on bass & violin! Great show! Saw Ten Years After at The Shrine Audit. in 68’ & Traffic 3 nights in a row in 70’: two nights at the Fillmore & the 3rd show in Santa Monica. Amazing memories!

There's a bit of similarity between early Traffic and early Tull, namely the folk element and the flute. Both bands were on Island Records (in the UK). Many years later Jethro Tull started playing "John Barleycorn" on one of their tours.

My Mr music Steve Winwood talks about Traffic, which was a rock/blues and jazzband that made them known in the whole modern music world. Traffic is dead long ago, but the central figure is still rocking more than 70 years old looking 60 and is a central figure in keeping the synthesis of rock and roll, blues, and jazz alive. Thanks for hanging on in the variety of modern music.

From what I read about how Dave Mason wanted them only as a backing group_ not a collective of songwriters ,I can appreciate them not commenting on this.Classy,unlike now,where everything is open for public scrutiny. We have become so accustomed to talk show trash,that all some seem to want is dirt on somebody else.Great to know some would not fall for this.

Traffic for me was always a special band and sound they got. Very few managed to cross pollinate so many styles with so much class. To get together before 67 and stay making music into the 70's was already quite an achievement. They had/ve a great sound. As a Brit I feel they encapsulated a very english sound of psychedelia up there with the best of them. Tracks like 40 thousand headmen and Hidden Treasure represent this gorgeous acoustic funky ethnic feel that few bands managed to pull off let alone such treasures. Loved the folk feels too in the music that are there right from the word go too. A wonderful band one I never tire of listening too.

Great mini-doc but I wish it could have been longer. I could have watched this for hours. Steve has one of rock's great voices and I've loved him since I first heard Keep on Runnin'. I remember there was an early B side (sorry young people) called Blues in F where Stevie as he was then known played a marvellous guitar instrumental. I think he was 14 at the time. I'm 71 now and still can't play as well as Steve did in the early 60s. I keep trying trying though. I think some people are naturally talented. Dear Mr Fantasy is a very underrated song and always sounds fresh to me. Another favourite is No Name, No Face, No number. Thanks Steve for all the great music that you have been involved with.

"I have the absolute, ultimate respect for Steve Winwood." - Ditto. Winwood's ascension was guaranteed based just on "Gimme Some Lovin'" and "I'm A Man". His Hammond B3 riffs and singing at 16, 17 were phenomenal. I got to see Traffic at the Fillmore East in '68? His first solo record has always had a special place in my heart. His solo work, like Traffic, is underrated. It might be said that some of it is close to syrupy, but coming from Steve W., it's always genuine.

So true about the white artists sort of picking a black artist to be like (I always thought Winwood was the white Ray Charles: Ray could sing anything and make it sound like it had soul, and so could Steve). RIP Campaldi , Wood, and Miller. Miller is the unsung genius of this whole scene and I am thinking of writing a screenplay about him!.

Just hearing the opening notes of Mr. Fantasy in a radio advertisement for the album made me realize Traffic was something special and the group immediately became one of my favorites. Mr. Fantasy was a state of mind, a wonderful, happy and friendly place to be. The imagery in Traffic's songs is so evocative, vibrant and compelling, it was a place I wanted to return to over and over again. They captured a special aspect of the zeitgeist which made them seem like they were on the same journey as everyone else in the counterculture.
@richardo59513 жыл бұрын
Beautifully stated. I feel the same way about Traffic and their place in the story of my generation. And I always liked the way that Paper Sun took a playfully sardonic look at psychedelia. "Too much sun will burn " being one example. Mr.Fantasy is ,in my view, one of the greatest debut albums from that period.The best songs on it are both of their time and timeless.

Interesting that there is no mention of Dave Mason who is in many of the early photos with the group at the country house and is still very much alive. Traffic played at the Central Park Bandshell in, I believe, September of 1968. They were introduced by John Zacherle from WNEW whom I think were the sponsors of the event. Needless to say the concert was mind-blowing! I believe Dave Mason was on bass. I didn't know him at the time because the second album hadn't come out yet, and there wasn't a photo of him anywhere on the first US album.

It’s a shame that Steve and Dave didn’t get along. So much so that Steve doesn’t even recognize Dave as a member of the group. When Steve is looking at the album cover and says that they are all gone, it’s clear that Dave is on the album cover and he’s not dead. There must have been one heck of a falling out between them because Steve doesn’t recognize Dave to this day. I thought Dave’s early contributions were excellent. But I think Traffic continued to get better. Still one of my favorite bands.

@Rudy Overlord Interesting comment - I didn't know any of that. For me, Traffic are weird. Mr. Fantasy is one of my my favourite albums of all time but even the second album veers towards being a bit too Dad-rock for me. And now I know why! The more they jammed and the longer the songs got, the more I disliked them and the sharper and more 'pop' they were, the more I liked them. Then again, I love the Winwood & Capaldi songs quite as much as the Mason ones on Mr. Fantasy... so I'm still confused.
@marykatelesnett28464 жыл бұрын
Saw an interview with Dave and he said that they couldn't agree on the direction the music was going. Apparently, Capaldi and Winwood worked together and Chris didn't have much to say, so Mason's ideas were ignored. This after his songs were the only ones on the first two albums that made the band any money. I saw Mason in the late 70's and he played for about 1 1/2 hours with an obvious sore throat. He stopped the show and said he'd come back and play a full show at the end of his tour. He came back and played for 3 hours a number of months later. If they all could have just gotten along, who knows what they would have created.
