Where are all the 70's people at? 😅 58 year old white guy here and we are still here supporting and enjoying the music of our childhood with people like you. 😊
73, and I saw this group five times.
61 yo W male . Our music was immensely better back then !
Soon to be 57 over here!!! Grew up listening to my Mother playing this album ❤
I’m 67 and still playing this album
60 here🙋
64 years old here. Steve Winwood is 76 and doing a brief tour this summer with the Doobie Brothers. We're still rocking!
Wait til you hear Steve as an 18-19 year old singing the blues in the Spencer Davis Group!
Traffic was a great band. I recommend listening to the studio next
The version on the album 'On the Road' is the best version of this tune. 'We were children playing with noise'.
Yes, always do the studio version first! This is no comparison!
"We were children, playing with toys"
The guy singing is Steve Winwood who had a stellar solo career.
One of the biggest joys of my life was being a teen in the 70s ✌️❤️👍
This song & Can't Find My way home are too damn good!!!
Agree, it's a spectacular song!
One of my fav songs. My sister and I entered a radio contest singing it in 2 part harmony. We came in 2nd. I was at a bar listening to a guy playing acoustic. He heard our song on the radio and loved it. He pulled me up on stage to sing. I started singing all the time.
That has been my #1 favorite song for the last 50 years.
Me too
Steve was in one album band, "Blind Faith". Even better.
I would always call Blind Faith the one album wonder
Born in the ‘50s. The music I got to experience from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s was 🔥🔥🔥
🌸 My favorite lyric in in this song is so profound..."the percentage you're paying is too high a price while you're living beyond all your means.. and the Man in the suit has just bought a new car on the profit he's made on your dreams."
Music formatting has contributed to the situation. Our radio stations played rock, R&B, hip hop, all together! Do we were all together musically which helped social cohesion.
Reactors like you are bringing back multiple styles for others to enjoy.
I was born in the 50's and grew up in the 60's and 70's. Music was so blended back then. Check out Tower of Power, Blood, Sweat and Tears and Blind Faith. Progressive Rock is still around. Listen to Southern Empire's "How Long" and prepare to be stunned.
Great song, my dude! The drummer is a legend in his own right. Played for a studio band called the Swampers. Documentary called Muscle Shoals that covers the studio and band. Right in your alley.
@@frankfrescaz1819 bass player is a Swamper too
One of the greatest bands of all time.
Steve Winwood started in that band at age 16 as the lead singer & piano player!!!
I grew up in the 70's!!! I'm 59 years young next month!!!
Those were the days.
Steve Winwood is a Master musician ❤️
It was certainly a golden time for music.
I was born in January ‘54. Always loved this song. A favorite!
And Steve Winwood played the organ on Hendrix Voodoo Child. Listen to the power and feeling in that. Hendrix brought him in because he loved jamming with him so much. Inspired Miles Davis to create Bitches Brew.
Voodoo Chile, track #4 on Electric Ladyland, not Voodoo Child Slight Return
You're not trippin!
I was born in 1956. I've always thought of 60s and 70s music in terms of nuclear fission and fusion. Like an explosion of musical style particles (blues, jazz, rock, latin, etc.) that then fused into new elements. Plus, the creativity and dedication to the craft was, and clearly still is, impressive.
I don't know if this is a factor or not, but I also remember we could let ourselves go, be open and vulnerable, and trusted these extraordinarily talented musicians take us wherever they wanted to go.
Maybe it's not accurate, but it seems like it's more difficult for younger people to go with the flow as easily.
I still find it a great joy to just completely lose myself in a song like this classic!
It makes me sooooo happy to watch you get onto it! ❤
Where are the 70s people? Were watching you!! 😂😂
The rhythm section of the bass and drums are two of the Swampers from
Muscle Shoals Alabama
I'm 73. The 70's were magical for all the arts.
Stevie Winwood is a genius...A word not misplaced on him...used cheaply on others.
Check out "Roll With It" video...and his timeless, immortal "Can't Find My Home".
He still records and performs. He creates, plays and is fluid with any type of music that comes to him.
One of the truest soul brothers in music...talent attracts talent. Anybody would love to work with him.
Good call on the 70’s!
Where are all the 70s white boys at? We're right here enjoying your reactions to the music of our lives.
One of my Mother’s favorite songs ❤. Never heard it live before; this song is wonderful; jazzy, moody, a nice slow burn the whole way through 🔥. Love how you got into it right away, Mugs!!!! Almost 57 year old soulful white woman here!!!! 😃
The music was much more appreciated then by all races. The Doobie Brothers, Allman Brothers, Sly & The Family Stone, Blood Sweat & Tears and so many more were mixed bands and they put out some incredible music. Steely Dan, Eric Burden & War, Dr. John are all worth scoping.
1964 Rock started to take hold. Most Big-time Rock bands began in the 1960s.
Thank You.
Traffic is my all-time favorite band, glad you appreciated them!!
Few other Traffic songs I'd recommend:
Roll Right Stones
Tragic Magic
Light Up or Leave Me Alone
40,000 Headmen
Rainmaker
Shanghai Noodle Factory
Every Mother's Son
Glad/Freedom Riders
64 years young here and very proud of our 60's & 70's music. You are correct, we have a lot of soul. What happened to the following generations, don't know. Every brother says I got a lot of soul. I don't know. I'm just me. Thanks for reacting and pointing out the facts.
You are so correct, well said. Alvin Lee would please your senses ✨️🎶✨️
"Spirit is something no one can destroy"
For us the music was everything.
Yes, we kids born in the 50's grew up with the best of ALL types of music because of the RADIO!! The frickin RADIO. We really did think we'd change the world through our music. Today's artist (?) just want to show off their ass or bling. They don't play instruments. Can't get this sound out of a box.
OMGosh, never heard the live version of this - it's FanTastic! Forget who requested this but thank you, and great breakdown Mugnify. Truly enjoyed this
Best version of this song! The late, great Chris Wood on sax! Thanks!!!
We were children playing with toys , I'm 65 , this is one of my all time favorite albums, I have it on vinyl, C D , & Spotify listen regularly, and yes musically we were much more harmonious, which naturally bled over into day to day life
Steve Winwood is a musical genius. I was 13 in 1970. I've been about 60 concerts over the years. I feel so very lucky to have grown up then. I saw Def Leppard in 2018, Foo Fighters in 2019 and Elton John in the same year. Live music is everything to me.
Just Absolutely Sublime music!
Good reaction, great to see you getting the Vibes man!!!
Steve Windwood (keys) is a musical prodigy, a professional musician since the age of 14
Check out his previous band (The Spencer Davis Group ' some Iconic sh*t !!!....
1st listened to Traffic in '69. Some of my favorite music of the era. Steve Winwood (vocals, piano & also a great guitarist) went on to have a HOF career & still performs today. I was fortunate enough to see him live with Eric Clapton in '09, Vegas.
there absolutely are levels to this my man and the dynamics and fusion in this are at the top level.
I remember watching this on PBS around the age of 14.
Blew my little mind.
One of my all time favorites.
steve winwood started off with the spencer davis group, and played in blind faith with eric clapton
I saw Traffic in concert in about 1973. They were great! You are right - music was integrated, and it was a wonderful time to be a teen. It seems that music is now segregated, and I always fall back on the 60s, 70s and 80s music.
🎼 Don't worry it's alright, it'll happen to you. We were children playing with toys.
We're still kicking ass and race don't mean shit! It's all meat on the same bone! Great reaction! Keep up the good work!
I loved your reaction. Always loved Traffic, but seeing and hearing them live was really special.
68 year old white woman-i LOVED Traffic-i was a sophomore in high school when they recorded this. i love seeing the younger generation discovering the music of my youth!
and i STILL listen to it all!
That's what Music is supposed to Sound like , when you let it "Breathe"...
All the improvisational Ensembles - historically - have understood...Miles Davis , John Coltrane , Chick Corea et al...
I’m 69, and for me the Golden Decade was half & half, ‘65-‘75. From Rubber Soul & Highway 61 Revisited & Pastel Blues to Wish You Were Here & Blood On The Tracks & Born to Run, with Cream, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead & all the rest in between. Quite the soundtrack for my 11th-21st years here. Great album/song that is a perfect representative of 1971 on the radio. Great reaction.✌️❤️🎶
🌸 this is one of the most magnificent songs ever
I was lucky enough to go to school, from first grade on, with every race on earth. That was rare in 1964, but should have been the norm. Kids don’t see color. They see people. And lucky, as well, to have the music I grew up with. I’m 66, and love it all. From Motown to prog, grunge, metal, etc. ☮️❤️🎼😎
I believe they had some of the Swampers from Muscle Shoals playing with them on this tour.
Just had to add on. Seeing your reaction to traffic fills my soul with joy and longing. I was a teen in the late 60s early 70s in San Francisco. I miss the concerts i used to go to. May have an insight to offer on the eclectic band configurations. In the SF area the big promoter was Bill Graham. He booked interesting lineups here and in NYC (fillmore east and west). I can remember shows where a gospel group opened, then a weird hippy prog rock group, and finish it off with a name radio act. When he gave up the fillmores and just started booking arena rock shows, he said the audience was changing and not willing to listen to different sounds. The music got more genre specific, the bands got more segregated. In the late 60s you had all these kids who grew up playing violin, piano, brass, etc. but wanted to play in something other than high school jazz band. I miss being surprised.
A few of my favorite live acts in the early 70s: traffic, jethro tull, santana, emerson lake and palmer, jefferson starship, sly and the family stone, the kinks, bb king, carol king, the eagles, doobie brothers, creedence clearwater revival, parliament funkadelic, led zeppelin, chambers brothers, i need to stop myself… and few of these bands are even played on ‘classic rock’ stations anymore. They were great, but eclectic.
Anyhow, thank you for the reminder.
just for myself I'm 69 and alot of folks into this type of music are older than me, we grew up in a wonderful time for music all different geners that were great
I love that he is playing a grand piano. You are so right! I say it everyday we lost something ..music is the melting pot for all who are inspired by greatness.. and yah the 70's were tremendous for being that.. And musicians don't see themselves as limited they invite the flow in. it doesn't matter what color it's a vibe..you feel me?
STONER MUSIC SUPREME 😊
One of my absolute favorite bands. A great song, also; studio version is over 11 minutes. "We were children playing with toys." Yeah, my generation had the best music, imo. Steve Winwood is phenomenal; he started playing at 14 with the Spencer Davis Group.
Most of the musicians from the 70’s, are in their 70’s 80’s or sadly dead. The majority of the great bands were from the UK, they loved Mississippi Delta Blues & Chicago Blues, & brought them back to the USA. Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant & drummer John Bonham were both from Birmingham England too. They formed about the same time as these guys, & NO England didn’t have the race issues, like especially the US south. The 70’s was a more peace love sex & drugs time, I grew up in Miami, & it was great back then. Bands didn’t have issues with each other like there is today, most were friends or friendly. They weren’t out to kill each other, like it sadly is today. YES we had the best music, great childhoods & teen years, I wish people today could experience all that we did.
That’s a great observation by you about the relationship of people back in those days. There is absolutely a long way to go for sure.
Traffic is so great. I really dig this song.
A rock band sans guitar! Dave Mason was out of the band by 1972. I love how Percussionist Rebob Qwaku Baah is center stage! I loved all their music but I lived on "Welcome to the Canteen" all through High school. I had this on vinyl and 8 track.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone react to a track off Welcome to the Canteen.
Steve Winwood! ❤ Have you heard "Higher Love" yet?
I was at this show. Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. It was a amazing show just like every concert at the Civic.
Quintessential "Jam Band"...enduring Vibe .
An all time classic tune.
Musical brilliance for the past.
🌸 I don't think I have said this before but you have become one of my very favorite reactors
The band members are more around 80 my friend...if they're still alive hahaha I was born in the sixty's and you needed to be real artist to make a record back then, great reaction
My favourite Traffic song
🌸 WELCOME TO TRAFFIC, DUDE!
It's about music industry execs
Oh my! Its been years since I heard this!
When I was young we had black drown I am white we never thought about it we just loved each other I was rise on motown as I got older my sister married a crip my other sister married a hello angel I hung with the 18 st boy's we were all about love an music I bought this album when it came out my world is much better with you in it bless be
First rock show was Free opening for Traffic. Free cancelled and traffic played all of John Barleycorn and more. Wish I saved those stubs like I did later on.
I'm in my 70s. This song came out when I was in college. And of course I could listen to this stuff anytime on my old LPs. But listening to reaction helps bring back the memories of first listen.
I'd like to add I don't know why this generation thinks we were all racist. This old white Cowboy brought a black girl to my senior prom. The two of my children are half Mexican.
And I worked three jobs to put myself through college.
There was a big lie that was perpetrated the last few decades. And it caused much misunderstanding.
Another old white guy here, 72 yr.old, so much good music we experienced. Steve Winwood still going strong today. Thanks for being natural Mugnify, eating the watermelon not a distraction to you or us. But how is it yellow inside? In Canada here they are pink inside.
Can't find my way back home.(fireside)
I will be seeing Steve perform this in four weeks from tonight in CT.
I heard an interview with Steve W. about the title and meaning of this song. If I remember correctly (always a gamble), it was the band throwing shade at the record co. execs. They got a visit from the execs because they were late on the album or something. The execs told them to stop f*ing around and smoking weed and get to work, or something to that effect.
Such a classic!
YESSS!!! OMG i am so in **MadLuv** with young **SteveWinwoodBabe** & THIS song IS so freakin **Smooth JAM Delicious** YAY **Luvit** have ya checked out The **Live** version of **Dear Mr Fantasy 1972** OH & also the song that literally Saved my Life **Can't Find My Way Home** Live at "London Hyde Park 1969" tho that is by **MySteveWinwoodGuardianAngelBabe** when he was in the band **Blind Faith** I am ever so **Thankful&Grateful** to **SteveWinwood** for **Existing** & Saving My Life
Steve WInwood came from the English 60s generation who identified with black American blues and jazz musicians, and were primarily influenced by those great artists, and related to their struggles in American society. It was a tremendous flowering of music in England that owed so much of it's roots to black American music, and to American rock and roll. It was a real golden time.
Those influences are still strong among later generations, but they're much harder to detect in more modern popular music - at least sometimes.
You can tell he was influenced by Ray Charles
Dave Matthews Band comes to mind as a current touring band that can drop a nice funky jam and has some racial diversity
Always amazing to me how Winwood could play when he is clearly tripping balls on acid.
I went to high school in the rural south in the 70's. We really didn't have racial problems. One of my best friends all through high school was a black guy (old white lady here). We went to our HS reunion together. Lost touch with him when we both moved to different cities. [Nate, my old buddy, hope you are doing fine.]
Looks like it was at Tanglewood.
Good stuff!
you need to listen to John Mayall, he is right up your alley
Don't know too much about traffic know the name probably would recognize stuff that was on radio this will be my first reaction to😊
back in the day we didn't see in color when it came to music or anything.... we were just all one.
We had it in the very late 60s and 70s, hand in hand in all genres, exploring each others minds and creativity and above all the Possibilities! Jazz was the pinnacle.
Then came the 80s and the Reagan Revolution and the fucking churchy magoos getting so butt hurt They couldn’t bring themselves to join in. So, they partnered with Corporate Daemons to Fuck All things creative and force wedges between us. This was encouraged by selective SCOTUS judges in ‘71, that business should influence culture.
In other words, same shit different day.
There was more harmony then at least where I was, Brooklyn NY. We were influenced by black and white. Music, sports and all else. Especially music, nothing like those days.
I think the studio cut allows you to hear the words easier.
We did have the best music in the '70s and we had authentic talents then that was before MTV change things with the videos and it became more of personality & performance versus authentic real talent
Steve Winwood is great and Jim Capaldi has done some wonderful things on his own but you need to explore the Dave Mason album alone together. Almost every song is great.
60's to the 80's music was MUSIC. you found your groove, but you heard everything on the radio. Radio, especially FM was so much freer and braver, and not so heavily bottom line determined.
