Steve winwood is a master musician
Funny you said Master :)
That’s an understatement
There's lots of master musicians. Winwood is a master magician from another dimension.
Maybe the most underated band ever! All master musicians. Steve Winwood has always been in a whole different category! The best of the best! Pure magic.
Couldn't agree more. Now you DO know what you're talking about 😋
I love em, but why say underrated? The whole world has said they’re great often!
@@reasonrestored9116
If you compare the number of people who have heard of Beatles or Led Zeppelin or Metallica or even Backstreet Boys to those who have heard of Traffic, Doug's comment becomes self explanatory :)
Or you can just compare the monthly listener count put up by spotify for these artists...
But then, you do need people like Steve Winwood or Jeff Beck or Peter Green to know the meaning of underrated :)
@@fnln1108 Well stated. There’s no doubt that Traffic - and Steve Winwood individually - don’t have near the name recognition they deserve.
“Underrated” is a term that has almost lost meaning on YT music videos, where it is ubiquitous, but in this instance? Underrated they are indeed. The view count on this video alone tells you that.
Can't agree more - a band like no other
The most progressive song ever. Master Steve Winwood. Why is he not inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame as a solo artist. Unique music absolutely fantastic listening to this song since 27 December 1971 till present.
Agree 100%, he should absolutely be in the HOF for his solo work.
I was gifted this piece of vinyl by my cousin in my early teens! Around 1977, 78. with it I also received the Who live at Leeds, Iron Butterfly & Grand Funk Railroad. Kind of stayed with me, especially this track.
----funny how I can rem that like it was yesterday!
Tom Petty was a giant fan of Steve Winwood . Tom Petty had him open for him and we were lucky enough to witness the genius of Steve Winwood and then Tom came out and gave such respect to Steve.ivee seen them all but these two in one night was the best i’ve ever been blessed to see.🎼🎼🎼
The thing i admire about Steve Winwood - over and above his musical genius - is that he is seems so unassuming - so grounded - must be a great guy to know.
I'm a young 60 and can't agree with you more
Words can’t do Traffic justice! They were beyond exceptional. ❤️😆😺❤️🙏🏻
This song still sounds just as great as it did when it first came out. A true classic.
Randall's sax solo is magnifique!
Steve Winwood and Traffic is everything. I'm a 72 year old A.A. woman who always loved and still loves this awesome music. Blessed w/a good ear.
@@butterflygirl7361 That was one of the all time great line ups ,what a band.
Thanks for the reminder - 50 years since I bought the album. Can't help feeling I'm older than I think.
Steve belongs as many other great artists, to the dawning of an era of awakening and awareness of what was going on. To my memory Traffic and Blind Faith, both reflect Winwood’s uniqueness of his style. He’s One of a Kind.
Steve Winwood was, and is, a remarkable talent. I'm about to buy tickets to the Hollywood Bowl concert in May, 2022.
Pure genius! I certainly believe that you achieved your goal of creating your own signature sound. Great job, Steve!
Superb, love this song and such a great vibe to it. Steve is one of the great rock vocalists with such a distinctive voice. Tasty piano work here also. Great musicians who have time to stretch out back in the day when 15 minute songs were not unusual. Thanks Steve.
A time where real talent was born...... winwood a winner x 100000000000000000000000000000000000000
i couldn't get it right. i couldn't say it better, except: This whole song is tasty and delicious 😋🎉❤
Steve Winwood is undisputably the best musician of ALL time 💓
Me.Steve Windward is hands down the very best I’ve heard musically & vocally all my very long life. Just entrancing to me. 🩵
Great bassline, one of the best rock songs ever recorded
Traffic, one of the best bands ever!.
Still fabulous after all these years!
My favorite song of all!
Brilliant song, brilliant group led by musician extraordinaire Steve Winwood. My favorite musician of all time.
Masterpiece
Timeless. Memories. Childhood ...best mood vibing song ever.
Rarely do I enjoy a live performance of a song more than the studio version but this is a notable exception. The studio version of this is amazing
Damn I miss hearing these great songs on the radio ! Thanks for the great performance guys !!!
@Susan Reed Yes Indeed!
It was right After John Barleycorn was Released that I Became Mesmerised with Traffic and have since Folllowed Mr. Winwood.
Saw Him Twice here in Mpls ~2015 and Witnessed that He Still has That Ability to Be So Entertaining with A Voice That Still Possesses His Lifelong Talent!
Always "Satisfying!"
@Susan Reed If You Are Referring to Traffic etal YOU Are My Kind Indeed!
magic
I've been a Steve Winwood fan since way back. He's still terrific!
Awesome, from a person listening to you since 1966. You are the MAN, GROUP, LEGEND.
1967 I was 16 most of my mates were into Motown and other such American dross. Then I heard Traffics Dear Mr. Fantas album and was hooked on Steve Winwood’s incredible voice and musical talent. Saw him with Clapton at the Albert Hall and it was clear Steve was a step above even good old Eric. Have a listen to Midland maniac…….such a good example of his clever musical genius.
@@stephentaylor9228 Actually Stephen, that is one of my favorite songs by him, from his first Solo album. I've heard the one at Albert Hall and most other ones out there. That song for some reason takes me out. His whole solo first album is outrageously good.
One of the coolest songs ever. I am so fortunate to have caught Traffic before they broke up. Steve Winwood is in a class by himself. Not only a fabulous vocalist, keyboardist, but also a fine guitarist and songwriter. Whew!
Music that had everything. Steve Winwood and all of his accomplishments is the oasis in a desert of talent. Music that translates then, today and always.
The percussion section in this band is flat out perfection
Steve and Jim, friends, collaborators, geniuses of music .They gave me so much, among others this exceptional masterpiece of a song.
Steve Winwood und TRAFFIC for ever. Eine besondere Musik von einer höheren Ebene.
Winwood is genius.....pure and simple
Total class from the Master . Steve Winwood is just the best at what he does......
Great music and fantastic singer !
One of the very best bands ever. Genius level real music.
Low Spark , a favourite amongst all favourites. The coolest vibe ever!
Regretfully, I didn’t get to see this line up, but I visit the footage from Woodstock 94, with great pleasure..👍
Something incredible was going on " Woodstock 94 " I was there all weekend. Traffic was sending out this vibe with the music. Like it was the magical 60's. The rain stopped the sun came out. It got warm. I have seen most of the greats. This was in my top 5 in over 40 years of live concerts!
I could listen to this song in perpetuity. Thanks for another great offering of musical therapy because I would be lost without it.
damn it just gets no better, perfection Winwood❤❤❤❤
You can listen to this a hundred times (and I have) and still hear something that you hadn't heard before. Exceptional.
Pure genius....
One of the many great songs from a supreme Band called Traffic and I grew up in those crazy days of yesteryear and was at the Bling Faith Concert in Hyde Park London, 1969, aged 21, tripping on Acid... What a time that was all those years ago...Music with truth in it...
I'll never forget the time I told a friend "I just got four Traffic tickets!" and he replied "what for?"
I've listened to his style of music since way back when , i'm going on 63 , if God wills & continue to listen & enjoy .
These are artists
commercial radio ignored any song over 3-4 minutes in length. in the early days of FM radio one could hear this and some of the other progressive rock masterpieces from this period but commercial free FM did not last long. thanks to steve and the band for not selling out! and now, I AM GOING TO LISTEN TO DEAR MR. FANTASY AND I SUGGEST YOU ALL DO THE SAME.
Brilliant.
Thanks for the post.
oh how I love their music. miss hearing this song!! love it live. I ve started performing at Open Mics and I sing Gimme some lovin and Dear Mr Fantasy. Guess I ve continued being a fan throughout my life. Loved John Barleycorn too. loved hearing Stevie perform with The Dead. thanks fir making me feel like a teen all over again.
Really a Master piece. Traffic for ever in my mind! Thanks for share S.W.
My fav traffic song.
thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Steve Winwood is an anomaly musical artist
This is amazing. I had forgotten about this song. Now I'm on the😅album.
Awesome …thanks for all the great music 🎶🎹
My heart smiles every time I have the pleasure to listen to these amazing musicians
Wore this album out !!! Still gits me movin' !!! :-)
Beyond superb.
I love this song!
Thanks for the upload-magic.
To me, it is the sound of many rushing waters. 💖
Love a good ole jam session! Steve & da Crew never disappoints!!! 😍
71 years old been a fan from the get go. + half a century. This is about as good as it gets, I'd a give a $1000 bill to be in the front row that night!
What a fantastic song performed by Steve and Jim and their cohorts so thrillingly here... Been a Traffic fan since the late sixties - awesome
I would rather listen to this by myself back then before I could be in the same room with people who were'nt into this music while it was playing .It was a thought provoking sound within that music and I would'nt wish to be distracted otherwise .
I love this music because it allows me to reflect from the journey from then to now .
Thank you for posting !
Thank you thank you thank you from my rock n roll heart strings to yours. My personal favorite 💙💙💙
Was one of my favorite songs in college!! Just awesome!
Thank you Mr Winwood. You are a huge, huge part of my musical journey. I hope you can tour India, where I hail from. Believe me there are masses of fans in India yearning to see you performing live. Fingers are crossed.
One can only hope! 🤞
Thanks especially for this one.
Wow love this well anything by Steve such an underrated musician
Traffic, eine ewige Legende und eine der stärksten Bands der Flower Power u. Hippiezeit. Von 67-74 war jede Scheibe ein Geschenk des Himmels. Songs für die Ewigkeit.
All I can really say is THANK you!! Amazingly beautiful
I saw Steve Winwood twice live, as the opening act for Tom Petty. I'm a longtime fan of his music. Traffic are so good, as is the Spencer Davis Group, Blind Faith, and Steve Winwood's solo work. Cheers! ✌️
Wonderful build up, pushing rhythm, layering and so much space to work in. Thanks for reminding us about the essence of true musicianship Steve.
I saw Traffic play with the Dead in Vegas at Sam Boyd silver bowl in the early 90s. Awesome awesome super awesome show! Unfortunately, Vegas in June or July is way way too fucking hot! There's nothing like feeling like you're going to die from heat stroke on hallucinogenics! But those were the awesome days when you could camp at lake Mead for free and skinny dip to your hearts content 😁
One of the Greatest! Thanks Steve 😊
Wonderful version from all involved with a special shout out to the bassist for the ever evident anchor he laid down.
Excellent.
Einfach fantastisch - super inspirierend. I love your voive Stevie. And finally I understood your real lyrics
Happy Birthday Steve Winwood.
Born: May 12, 1948 (age 74 years), Handsworth, Birmingham, U K
Winwood, such a genius
Thanks for making my Saturday morning a joyful one! God bless you, and a blessed Advent Season to you all!
My gawd, JC on drums...genius.
Loved it! Thanks for all the iconic music Steve!
I haven't heard this song in sooooo long! Love it!
10-11-2023 Thank you for changing the future in believeing in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank you for this. Just what I needed this morning. I just love your music.
Me too... just came at a right moment
This is such a fantastic performance. Traffic are such a good band. Amazing songwriting, great musicianship, and great singing. Cheers! ✌️
AWESOME!!!
Steve winwood, der. Beste. Höre ihn schon seit 1966 immer gerne. Bin ein großer Fan von ihm und TRAFFIC
Love
Now that's a jam
Sir Winwood is waay above any r n r hall of what ever...just absorb the talent and enjoy, thank you Steve Winwood.
Thanks for listening
The song, arrangement and performance are fantastic. The tributes to Frank Zappa in Piano and Sax solos are glorious. King Kong lives.
Oh so wonderful. If I misspent my youth and did not have the pleasure to experience in person, at least can enjoy this now.
Thank you... 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
A mis 68 años te sigo escuchando ,que grande eres steve
Traffic have to be one of the best bands EVER......They still sound as good now for me aged 69 as they did when I was listening to them at school aged 17 and then trying to emulate them in a band..
Legend.
An angel who can sing
Amazing. Stevie sings much better than he did in past decades. One of my fave musicians.
Rather good!
Since I first climbed on the back of a giant albatross under a paper sun, Traffic have always taken me to Dear Mister Fantasy land.
Saw Traffic at a venue in New Orleans in 1974, been a fan ever since.
