Traffic "Dear Mr. Fantasy"

 


From a 1972 concert, here is Traffic with their signature song "Dear Mr. Fantasy" that showed the band to be one of the originators of the modern jam band music scene right up there with groups such as The Allman Brothers Band and The Grateful Dead, featuring the one and the only Steve Winwood on lead guitar and vocals, Chris Wood on Hammond organ and keyboards (he also played woodwind/reed instruments in the band on saxophones and flute), with Dave Hood on bass and Roger Hawkins on drums, from the Muscle Shoals Sound Studios rhythm section in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and Rebop Kwaku Baah on percussion and congas.
