That's nothing. On several Traffic recordings he played everything but drums. Love to see him play guitar organ bass etc all at the same time.

[@paulfuller8985]

I always loved SDG and Traffic but I've never heard this before . Sounds very Booker T and the MGs . I like the little Eve tempting the boys with her apple . She would be a little old lady now . Alas , Spencer is no longer with us . Great sound .

You can hear some Jimmy Smith influence in Stevie Winwood’s organ playing.Heard Traffic in Barcelona in 1974. Steve Winwood was probably one of the greatest talents in his generation of rock musicians but is unfortunately not singled out as such. His voice stood out the most.
