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.

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

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.
