The old bugger's still got it. One of the all-time greats, somehow ignored by many.

WOW! Thanks for the post. It was 1969 and I was a kid from a blue collar town when I went off to college. I had never heard of Traffic when my mind was opened to this music -- over 40 years later -- it is still great. What an awesome world we live in.

[@f.d.miller3903]

One of the greatest songs, and musicians. It was a time in my life that I realized that music would be a part of my life. Steve was one of the musicians I studied. Thank you Steve.

The only other who can play like that, and sound that good, musically, is Gilmore.

Great rendition! Too bad he didn't face this way more often.

[@americomagalhaes5728]

Adoro..

[@bradleybrown8399]

Wish he had broken out the green firebird he played the song on in 71 when he was tripping.

[@ericstewart9742]

He performs it like he still enjoys other song.

[@eugenemcgloin6780]

Chatty Cathy, was the musician interrupting your conversation?

[@MikeDiCiero]

I would of seriously slapped her in back on the head if she were close by to me !

[@Atom-56]

Eugene McGloin Obviously she isn't there for the music, So disrespectful.

[@bonnieabbzug]

I was thinking that. Who in the world talks through Steve Winwood singing Dear Mr. Fantasy? Wow.

[@joer2513]

I went to see Clapton at the RAH last year, for all 3 nights, on the last night there was a woman sat in front of me who talked all the way through the kid, then stood up infront of everyone whilst everyone was sat down... screaming and waving her arms... Some guy threw a plastic bottle at her haha
