The late Chris Wood was a class performer, he had a cool stage presences & that cool jungle sax sound was all his, this is the video way back on mtv 80’s show closet classics that made me a Traffic listener
Man...The talent of these bands that I grew up with is astonishing....The kids that are in the music biz today, haven't a clue as to what talent is...Without others to play the music and arrange and write the music, they wouldn't exist.
21st Feb 1972 , Santa Monica Civic Auditorium . BEST version of this song ; Reebop's percussion *really* adds to the sound (versus his absence on '...Barleycorn...") . Chris Wood's bad ass Sax playing ; Winwood's Hammond tickling ... 200% presence from *Traffic* . If only I were older than age 2 when this was happening !
Happy Saturday. Outstanding pick. I was going to play 1 of my 2 favorite version's of this song and I just happen to come across this one. It makes me glad that I chose to listen to the voice in my head that is directly connected to my heart, soul as well as spirit. I have learned and am beginning to learn to listen more closely to those feelings as I believe them to be character building experience's. in a good way when I take time to do that. Have a wonderful weekend. Peace & be well to al.l
It's on the live On The Road album from 1973. Also contains perhaps the definitive version of Sometimes I Feel So Uninspired and a very good version of The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys that closes out the CD (originally 2-LP set).
I love that this excellent performance was recorded for the benefit of us all, but I could have lived without the "trippy" video overlay for part of it. I'd much rather see the performers as they were.
Roger Hawkins, from Muscle Shoals Sound. Just passed, May 2021 RIP. Lots of great music to credit him with. I saw Traffic in 1984 (?) in California....an early 'reunion' tour; that was a top quality band, great chemistry.
Actually, it wasn't. I think the very first wah wahs were indeed designed for guitar, but you can run any audio signal through any effects device. That particular unit Chris Wood is using here is a Maestro W-3, designed for woodwinds, and it also had an octave divider, I think a fuzz and I forget what else built into it. One of Frank Zappa's guys used one (it's the device mentioned in the liner notes on the Uncle Meat album that was used to make the trumpet sounds on Dog Breath).
@@Kohntarkosz I actually think they tried marketing the first wah-wah's to trumpet players to simulate the mute (toilet plunger) Guitar players didn't know what to do with it! -Hendrix soon changed that!
A great pair of songs that are overlooked or are unknown to today's youth.
I love Traffic music for smart people
I think there is a strong argument for "Glad" being the greatest instrumental in rock history.
The best live bands I've ever seen were Traffic, The Allman Brothers, and Deep Purple all of whom were mind blowing.
eu ja vi o RUSH em 2002 no estadio do Morumbi - SP... muito bom tambem
I remember seeing this as a teen on MTV Saturday night concerts in the 80's while tripping. It blew my fucking mind.
Mr Winwood: RESPECT. What a career

Im learning more and more about the music when i was a bit too young. Fascinating.
This whole show seems like it would just melt your face off ,live. The talent is just indescribable. ThanK you.

4:07 to 9:25 very hypnotizing...I wasn't born yet but wish I were 20 when this was happening would have loved it as I do now!
I saw this band in Philly in the 70 s damn they were a blast

Chris Wood was the Master!
One of the best things i have ever heard in my life!!! Andy Moons

The ending part of Glad is one of the best rock music sound ever.
Try checking out Soft Machine's second album
('Soft Machine II') or Henry Cow, you might find some similarities.
Fantastic and Timeless!!!!!
Yo man this here music kicks 👍
Total party jam! About as good as it gets!
Great find. I love the John Barleycorn Must Die album. Thanks for posting. :o)
One of the better grooves. There is a 20 minute verson out there too.
Where can it be found?
It's on the live On The Road album from 1973. Also contains perhaps the definitive version of Sometimes I Feel So Uninspired and a very good version of The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys that closes out the CD (originally 2-LP set).
Increible...
And STEVIE !!
Chris Wood is strung out.
This looks like the same lineup on the tour I saw them with Little Feat.
I love that this excellent performance was recorded for the benefit of us all, but I could have lived without the "trippy" video overlay for part of it. I'd much rather see the performers as they were.
The stuff usually starts to kick in about five minutes.
são deuses
jazz fusion in all flowerdy shirts
love; just so very me
I'd rather see the band😇 then what some cameraman thinks is a trip.
Why is Chris wearing two different jackets during Glad and Freedom Rider respectively? Two dates glued together?
Halkings and Hood!
Who made these psychedelic video effects then?
I'm confused. Who is playing drums here. I thought Jim Capapdi was the drummer. But, it appears Jim is playing a tambourine .

I never knew the waw waw was invented for the sax😇 But Wood owns it!
