Traffic (feat. Steve Winwood) - Shoot out at the Factory (1973) | LIVE

Traffic were an English rock band, formed in Birmingham, in April 1967 by Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, Chris Wood and Dave Mason. They began as a psychedelic rock group and diversified their sound through the use of instruments such as keyboards like the Mellotron and harpsichord, sitar, and various reed instruments, and by incorporating jazz and improvisational techniques in their music.
Their first three singles were "Paper Sun", "Hole in My Shoe", and "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush".
Traffic disbanded in 1969, during which time Winwood joined Blind Faith, then reunited in 1970 to release the critically acclaimed album John Barleycorn Must Die. The band's line-up varied from this point until they disbanded again in 1974. A partial reunion, with Winwood and Capaldi, took place in 1994.
Traffic were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004.

I freakin love me some Traffic. You want to lay back and just jam with headphones? Put on any Traffic album and you will not be disappointed.

[@rjww64]

This Kicks Ass Steve Winwood one of my all time favorites.

[@tonywright8302]

What a band, saw them in 1974,real music ,no gimmicks, not in it for the glory.

[@ianclarke1852]

Don’t need gimmicks when you’re that good. The music says it all.

[@user-to1ve2de2h]

my first concert 2/8/1973 w/Free

[@malikd.7306]

Hey guys n girls (probably mostly guys here) iwas born 1998 so i am 25 years old, only listened to HipHop & RnB but my musical horizon was widened beyond my imagination through jazz rock especially (started with Traffic 2years ago and now i ended up as a Zappa fanatic) And many more the list of crazy good musicians that came out of the 60s 70s is unbelivable! This is great music history that lives on through us! PS: Love each other! you are just like me my friend! I am just like you ! Flawed and perfect

[@majorbloodnok7141]

Saw them at Reading 1974.😀

Thank you for posting this - too few live Traffic videos around. What great musicians!

[@MarshallCommaDave]

Amen, imagine if there were a Beatles:Get Back, but for traffic.

[@jenniferlee5871]

Traffic. Abstract and melodic jam, loved this band

[@billg4517]

The groove is awesome, even today...

[@victoriasage8613]

Back when music was actual music. 🎶🖤🎶

[@robin7771]

Oh hell yeah, what a great song and performance! Thank you for posting this. Nice to see Jim back behind the drums, he and Roger and Rebop were a phenomenal percussion section. Too bad it didn't last.

[@claritydreamsleeves541]

Everyone is important in this band, but Winwood and Wood are the nails anchoring it across the stage.

[@drkyle17]

Amazing to find video of Traffic from 1973 with this quality including excellent sound quality. Thanks so much for sharing this great clip of a legandary band.

[@monkeyton5]

[@lancehouston4156]

From a big Traffic fan,Thanks for posting video. I think “Shoot-Out “ show cases the bands sound. Congas , Chris Woods flute & saxophone & Winwoods genius makes for an excellent band!🎼🎹💫

[@BaconTomatoCheese]

[@GypsyRain42]

Hell yeah!

[@alias4096]

Unglaublich, dass sowas mal im deutschen Fernsehen laufen konnte 😇

[@robertcatesby8420]

Traffic were great! My first concert in, I think, March '69 at the Fillmore East was the great 3 man Traffic, fabulous. I saw them every time they came around which wasn't often enough.

[@goggihanseat9503]

Danke Radio Bremen ❤❤❤

[@lsc2006]

Alô ronca ronca !

[@brett6786]

3:58 I see a fuzz face, 1st in the chain going into a wah,, and thats why it sounds so gnarly

[@heynow4512]

Roll Right Stone. Luv the lyrics. 😂

[@stefanogiacomelli8792]

Livello musicale altissimo come weather report o soft machine

[@bloeddorstigbeest]

The first bars are missing. Any chance they will be made available too? Great performance of a great tune!

[@BaconTomatoCheese]

Judging by the clapper board at the start of this video, I’d say the film crew missed filming the first few seconds or so…

[@slugghmcgee8603]

@@BaconTomatoCheese You had one job!

[@wosslert]

Chris Wood!😊

[@baliscotsurf]

1:43 what.....

[@jeffmcdonald9004]

SW plays guitar like a piano player

[@MarshallCommaDave]

Ah yes, bending notes like a piano player.

[@progmeup]

What the heck is that time signature... 17/4 or something?!

[@michaelconolan2254]

Yeah - it’s something Winwood seems insistent on, when the rest of the band are happy to rock out in 4/4. They watch him like a hawk, cos he does it every time.

[@parati1309]

Steve's hot. 😂 On toast. Yummers

[@birdzzzondayflu2489]

Wonder what year strat he’s playing

[@dmhughdie]

Is this the strat that Clapton gave him? It looks like an early (54-56) ash-bodied guitar with the round string retainer on the headstock. It must have a separate maple fingerboard since there is no walnut stripe on the back of the neck. Very unusual for such an early model which would normally have a 1-piece maple neck.

[@jackelder6047]

Swampers!

:D
