I grew up blasting this album on my Dads magnavox stereo. I have never tired playing it. I'm 68 now and it sounds just as good as when I was a teenager!!
I am 79
Steve Winwood deserves a special place as the best musician of our times. Guitar...piano...organ... a master
Again....Rock Royalty
Yeah the Aliens sent Steve Winwood too interpret the Blues … get everybody tuned up 🤣
Very young when he began his muzik journey.
And vocals!
They don't make like this anymore. I can listen to Traffic for hours.
I NEVER TIRE OF HEARING THIS MUSIC. NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLETO COPY IT AND GIVE IT THE JUSTICE IT DESERVES. THIS BAND ROCKS!!!!
this music came out as early as 1970 and it´s definatelly ahead of all times what a trio Traffic was by then , just the groove betwin wiwoods bass pedals on the organ and Capaldi´s Drums remains something of a unique kind , Chriss Wood with whom I had the pleasure of playing recording and composing had something so spetial to his Playing. he was the part of the trio that having a melodic instrument semmed to create rithms adding stabs in the sax and thrills on the flute that where a new thing for young fellers like me by then ,Traffic woahhh Traffic and now Winwood counts with Richard Bailey on the Drums and timbales , I also had the pleasure of counting Richard as one of my good friends in England and also he played in my Band Spiteri for some Years what a thrill that was .......
I agree. Another great band similar to traffic is Emerson, Lake, & Palmer. They are both fantastic bands that changed how music was played and have yet to be topped.
Dig!
I am 70 started to listen to Traffic when I was 18 still listeting to them today and the music is the same great
IMHO. Traffic, Jethro Tull and later, Steely Dan, were doing things musically that have yet to be topped.
I definitely agree!
What kind of things?
I agree with you up until Tull who were basically a blues band at that point 1970 with some folk sounds and rock.
The great traffic jam
@@thenicklas615A blues band? You got to be kidding me. Say that to Ian Anderson and he’d double over laughing 😆😆😆
This is by far my favorite album by Traffic... I know many Traffic fans like the albums "The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys" & "Shoot Out At The Fantasy Factory" which are very good albums in their own right no doubt about it.... But "John Barleycorn Must Die" to me just stands out so much more over those two albums... Many fans might disagree with me but I think this is Traffic at their best...
+ogrebattle22763 Nice one...have a listen to the first 2 and the 4th album love this album loads ....JK
I agree, Best Traffic album. Has stood the test of time. Shame we lost drummer Jim Capaldi back in 2005 to cancer.
Steve Winwood's piano and organ on Glad/Freedom rider sounds as good today as it did the first time in 1970's
HELL YES! Best album, still love it decades later!!
my favorite also
well I'll just be a sixty one..
Easily one of the greatest albums of all time! Can't even begin to throw enough positive comments at it! Love it! Love Steve Winwood!
Awesome love it also
Amen...

Danny Stanhope And he wore out that Hammond organ!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
WINWOOD IS THE BEST MUSICIAN IN THE WORLD......
Beautifully conceived and executed music fusing pop, rock, jazz, psychedelia, and R&B.
listening to some Traffic tunes today to commemorate Chris Wood who died 32 years ago today .. fortunately we can still enjoy his great musical legacy .. these tunes are still so incredibly fresh
Winwood is so underrated.....why is not mentioned in the pantheon of the all time great musicians / songwriters ?
He is, by the smart people 👍🎸😉😎❤!
I know! When I was a boy of a certain age, I think it was in 1969, I saw in Playboy Magazine a questionnaire to fill out of the best music and musicians of the 60s. They listed every possible candidate I could think of except .... Stevie Winwood and Traffic. Just forgot, I guess!🤔
this whole band is seriously underrated
saw them live in CA on 3 album tours, including this one
this material. was great live without overdubs
and nobody seems to know their first 2 albums existed, but
there is some greatly esoteric hippie song writing on those albums
sense of humor definitely advised
That is 100% factual lol
Incredibly,this album was largely panned and dismissed by the music critics of the day when it came out. Unbelievable to think about now,I know.
Golden!
Because of Steve Winwood in high school bought my first piano!! Love this♥️
unbelievable album...this is the first lesson in cool...
One must not play Glad without Freedom Rider. I wish someone would tell Sirus XM that....
2003Cpayne preaching to the choir buddy
Someone must have said something...they played it all the way through about 30 minutes ago!
absolutely.....
These two songs belong together. I thought everyone knew that. I guess that's why I'm so outraged whenever I hear it cut.
Saw them while I was still in high school. Awesome
classic album. we wore it out.
Navy Days 1971 I bought this LP in a Duty Free Shop in Manila
Part of my history
Thanks buddy ✝️🇺🇸👍😎
Traffic did a 3 hour show when Paul Rodgers had laryngitis and they were awesome back in the 70’s
Chuck Layton I saw a Traffic late show in 74 and Free opened for them. No contest. Traffic played for 4 1/2 hours
I used to go to a bar that had a jukebox, and it had this 2 song combo as 1 song and I loved playing it. Always put the whole bar in a great mood!
Wow, what a great album.
Bought this album when it first came out. Started an unofficial crusade to turn my classmates onto Traffic. End result my senior year was a friend on the drill team loved Glad so much she convinced them to do a whole routine around the song. One of those "wish I had video" moments now. Amazing album, always will be ✌️
I just love this song and Empty Pages.. Oh were are all the great song and singer of the 70's. I just miss those song so badly.
jeanette wilson I have “Empty Pages” on my playlist too!
Hypnotic beautiful music never forgotten
This was still an AOR staple (Glad WITH Freedom Rider) when I was growing up, and I was born probably about 2 months before this album came out. If Steve Winwood is involved, it's pretty much a guarantee that the music is going to be really damn good.
The late 60s/early 70s was just an explosion of experimental but REALLY good music. For those of you lamenting that you weren't born back in this time, through the magic that is the internet you can discover these gems that a lot of us have been listening to for decades. Rock on, folks \m/
Yes Deb, a really cool FM radio station would play both. To be honest, Glad flows right into Freedom Rider seamlessly. I miss AOR rock. I don’t even bother to listen to today’s quote “Classic Rock Radio” because it’s the same old same old. Even when the DJ opens up the airwaves to requests, very rarely will someone request something different and more rarely the DJ will play it because it doesn’t fit their format. Traffic was always one of my favorite bands. Imagine requesting “The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys” these days?
Steve Winwood is an incredible musician. as well as a singer/songwriter/arranger.
Like a hurricane around your heart when earth and sky are torn apart
He comes gathering up the bits while hoping that the puzzle fits
He leaves you, he leaves you.Freedom rider
With a silver star between his eyes that open up at hidden lies
Big man crying with defeat, see people gathering in the street
You feel him, you feel him.Freedom rider
When lightning strikes you to the bone, you turn around, you're all
Alone
By the time you hear that silent (or siren?) sound, then your soul is
In the
Lost and found
Forever, forever.Freedom rider
Here it comes
If you can figure out the meaning behind the words you're a better man than me.
Silent Sound for sure
freedom riders were a 1964(?) escalation of anti-segregation activism
whose specific details I forget, but the song is clearly about the psychic
effect on white, comfy, fantasy-raised kids at seeing how viciously the
freedom riders were treated by populace and police, and part of the psychic
effect came from realizing the freedom riders knew they were very likely to
be violently attacked but showed up anyway to DEMONSTRATE what the
result would be ... as a question to all of USA -- do you have a conscience
or is your big loud brag just cheap airy bullshit
more personally it is about how the band members or songwriter were affected
but generally it applies to a whole generation of white kids who were teens
at the time & raised on Great White fairy tales until the radical courage of kids
volunteering to be violently terrorized just to ask you that personal question
are you capable of empathy
is land of the free and home of the brave
nothing but hollow braggy bullshit?
all of which is why I think it is "siren sound", not "silent sound"
Those talented Brits led the way towards great Rock Music variety that will last and last. Bravo, boys!
Stevie Winwood loves the sounds of New Orleans. And New Orleans loves Stevie Winwood. Steve if you're reading this, please return to the 2021 Jazz Fest. 🎶🎵🙏
I used to listen to this album, and this song in particular, my last two years at Berkeley ('70-'72) during times of exasperation (with the fear of being drafted in the Viet Nam war after graduation,) trying to find an escape from the pressures of academic life.The fog bank would gather itself by the SF peninsula and then roll into the east bay, spreading like low moor fog against the warm land mass; my mind was captured when the piano solo toward the end made me forget about everything. Amazing!
Gerry Kirstein you took me into your memory. I felt as though I standing there with you.
The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.
-Carl Sandburg
Wah wah pedal for a saxophone? Are you kidding me? Absolutely genius sound. Chris Wood is the man and I'm so "glad" he is.
lol. yea! how he do that with the wah wah on the sax??? so cool
I do think the wah is on the keybds...
and it isn't wah....it is a transitional dispertion of the frequency/spatial continuem using a variation of the speed of the speaker rotation....known as "leslie...."
According to several on line sources, the sax was indeed run through a wah wah.
magic album....stunning band...Thanks S.Winwood et al.
Back in the 70s I played piano with Credo, a Plymouth U.K. band fronted by Yarian David, a brilliant songwriter. Every night I would go to sleep on the settee and listen to this album, and the Moody blues album 'Days of Future Passed', while I smoked home-grown grass from Saltash in Cornwall.. Every night I drifted off to sleep listening to the wonderful music of Stevie Windwood and his band. What wonderful memories. The hippie era will never be equalled.
Adore Traffic but especially appreciate Chris Wood’s playing. He never overpowers the song with being to too loud & seems to have lots of variety of tones. 👌🏼always putting the piece first & setting the mood 🌹
That Hammond organ in the background- YESSSSS!!!
I wish You Tube wouldn't split up Glad and Freedom Rider with ads in between!!!!
It wasn't that way when I uploaded it. And when watch it it doesn't happen. Strange.
Great album, it's in my collection!
This is classic music at its best. I never get tired of listening to it
Ahhh, the good ole days! High school, 1972 when i first heard this album. I have been listening ever since.
Truly one of the Top Ten records ever recorded. This music holds much for anyone who hears it, even now, 44 some odd years on from its initial release
Still funky after all these years
They were so truly talented, in fact gifted. I just love this piece.
Loved this album too many years ago.........still do!
Listening to greatest Ensemble ever...🎼🎵🎶🎶🎷🎺🎸🥁🎹
Incredible keyboard!
I do, still have all my albums from the day ❤❤❤
....still have my album...treasure it...
Oh yeah, the opening keys on "Glad" -- cha-cha-cha! This tune ("Glad") still moves just soooo right. Memories of WMMS (Cleveland, OH). I'm there man -- I'm there.
greatest album of the 1970' s.
Great, yes, but not sure I would go quite that far.
I discovered this by accident in 1969 after flipping through my dads FM receiver (FM was relatively new back then). Best music I ever heard
Heard it in 69 but it wasn't released till mid 1970 ??
You seem to posess some special powers.
Absolute pure gold. I can't imagine a better way to banish the blues.
So hard to believe that the album was made when the band was almost in pieces.
Recommended for anyone buying CDs: double CD compilation "Smiling Phases", which includes both these tracks.
Saw the original line-up at an all-night uni gig way before this album.
"Glad" that Stevie is still wailing that priceless voice of his, which I've loved ever since he and I were sweet sixteen (as I was doing my A-Levels, he was having no 1 hits, c'est la vie!)
The greatness of Steve Winwood, a forum for brilliance.
Every time I listen to "Glad" it's hard for me to believe Steve and Jim didn't have any classical training. They are just divinely gifted.
My father wanted to buy a gramophone,so we went looking for it at the LP store and this was playing! And god,I love it!!! Been listening to it all day now!
Winwood started this as a solo project called "Mad Shadows". At some point he brought back Chris Wood and Jim Capaldi. The spirit of the "Cottage" is right here as much as in Berkshire Poppies and No Time to Live. I look forward to the next generation who discover the magic of inspiration and collaboration rather than the fascism of corporate oppression and computer music.
best album of my life.
Chris Wood was awesome on alto sax with this tune.
sounds like a tenor sax
simply wonderful
LOVE LOVE LOVE Freedom Rider!!
Jumped around in my Platform Shoes to this Killer Classic & Gimmie some lovin
70's Dance rock..Too good to be Forgotten
Lyn Barlotta i'm lost....what did you do at 'farm school'?
Such a great album, I never grow tired of hearing it.
My Lord! Memories! I saw Traffic at the Orpheum in Boston, 1971(?). Absolutely awesome concert!
Saw them in Detroit same year!
I was at the same concert Michael
Memories of my senior year in high school (1972) come flooding back whenever I hear this song: my English teacher played this in our class one day toward the end of the school year--I've loved Traffic ever since!
Very cool teacher. We all had at least 1
What it means a childhood somewhere else than in Italy..can't even imagine my teacher playing something like that when I was in school with a fuckin' crucifix hanging in the wall.
This also brings back positive memories of my high school years - as a junior and senior.
Love em. Gotta be about the same age you n me.
Stevie is a legend...agree?
+Thea Williams You';re a year older than I ? (DOB 1954). bought this as a junior in 1971. Have this on vinyl. Always loved it.
Love the piano sound towards the end of Glad
i was introduced to this sound on my summer job,i'd graduated from highschool and this college guy at work introduced it to me, i never forgot him or the times...i am grateful for the memory...many thanks djclay33 & you tube
Looking back we had this that summer of 1970. I was 10 but listened to it all the time.
me too ! I was the same age ,my brother was sixteen when he brought this album home and I have been listening to it since its just so good and actually timeless
My idiot brother (born in 67) discovered this by way of my father but I remember Dad playing this when I was a youngling (along with a LOT of other great music of the time) after I was born in late May of 70. Or maybe it permeated into my brain when he'd left a radio in my nursery after I was born - Dad told me he'd leave a radio tuned to a rock station on for me and that it never seemed to bother me at all. That, and when I was a little older I'd dance around to Incense and Peppermints while he was hanging out in the garage of our old house in Houston. Maybe all of that is why I have such a great love of good music. XD
This is one of the best, and did it receive the acclaim it deserved? Just so perfect.
I used to love to play these songs on the jukebox at this one shithole bar I used to work at. It always put those miserable bastards in a good mood for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Being a big fan of instrumentals I bought the 33 when it came out, and still luv it.
Instrumental's ? Do you have any suggestions? Along with ELP, and Santana, Clapton, etc. I recently put a group of instrumentals together & looking to add to it
Thanks so much for posting a version that doesn't separate Glad from Freedom Rider! IMHO, they're inseparable. 🤗
One of the best songs to get stoned by.
Thank you to my brother Kenny who turned me on to this album in 1976 when I was 15.
as a teenager hearing this type of music my generation was spoiled forever.
My jam. Freedom Ride, John Barleycorn. Traffic!!!!!! Baby Baby Baby!!!!
They don't make music like this anymore - listen to that sax!
Effing true......I used to think only old folks 'd say like that....Hey, wait a minute....Turning 62 in 2 months myself.....Wow......
They do, but it is usually called jazz.
Calming ,relaxing.🎵🎶
Music been 49 yrs ..later
Listening..
One and Only Traffic!!!
4:22 magic times
This was one of my 1st albums...ah, Memories
ONE OUT STANDING ALBUM...!!!....
Chris Wood al sax è stato il più grande di tutti, mai più nessuno come lui!!
This sounded so good at 100 MPH + in my 1970 Triumph GT6+ in 1970. Many times.
Who's listening ....
Too Traffic... ...March 2020...
Greatest sounds Ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would have been frightened in a GT6 at anything close to 100 MPH. You are lucky to be alive.
The still sound good, not in a Triumph, 100mph, maybe 60 klm per hour, on a bus with headphones on looking at the world wizz by. 😂
It sounded great in my 1974 TR6 too. When I hear it it always brings back memories of Summer.
@@miketurnbull9531 You're absolutely right Mike. The GT6 was a combination of the very light Triumph Spitfire with a hard top and the TR's six cylinder engine The GT6 was very light and fragile. You really had to throttle back and use the brakes delicately when attempting any high speed turn.
Fantastic album!
I had the greatest job of all time; worked at a stereo store when cd's first came out and I only had instrumentals playing the whole time!
Say what you will, but this baby has stood the test of TIME! Talkin' bout my g-g-g-generation, you know, back in the good ol' days when musicians ACTUALLY played instruments. Today it's mostly millionaire producers, drum machines, and techno holograms. I'm glad we had this instead of what's out there today. TRAFFIC RULES! TY djclay33. :~)
austria giancarlo Isn't it a great thing to find our old selves and our music, again and here on YT, at our fingertips. This started a who'le series of me listening to Traffic, again plus all the memories of 1972 +. When I saw "When the Eagle Flies", all the words came back. "I'm glad we had this instead if what's out there, today!"
LIZZIE SANGI Sangi Aw yeah sister girl you know it! That song 'Walking In The Wind' reminds me of some serious personal shit (heroin) that happened back in '91'. A lady named MaryLou RIP typified those lyrics. My ex once listened to me sing the entire song in bed at 3:00 a.m. and it touched his heart. Lizzie, being as well traveled as I'm sure you are, bet you got some fascinating memories of the sacred 70s SO unique to who you are. Anyhoo, GLAD you're still around FREEDOM RIDER cause WHO KNOWS WHAT TOMORROW WILL BRING? LOL! Thank you for your pithy, gracious post. Nice person. :~) xoxo
austria giancarlo Oh, lol Reading your post epitomized exactly my feelings! You got that, "sacred seventies". So finding this music on YT, is so fine, it's eased my head. Listening to it all again. Glad you're still around! So many of us are gone. Only two (2) of us, on the block I grew up in, are still alive and those through the years who have crossed over the veil. Hope to talk with you again, Your words are everything I am and feel. ;^')
LIZZIE SANGI Sangi :~)
Traffic - Double Live on the Road. The came out with it single, evryone bought it, then made it a double album. My fav for a long time! Can't Find My Way Home ;^')
Haven't heard this in AT LEAST 40+ years. Found it after rediscovering "Empty Pages"
Yesssss. Great songs!
"Effin' beautiful!"
There is nothing like the flute in 60's - 70's rock
Gotta feel sorry for today's listeners..where could they go to hear something like this...it's jazzy-ish but couldnt be heard in a jazz club.....guess im am glad to be old after all...Im glad..Im glad...Im glad...LOL
kids now days have no clue what this music is i mean 12 minn of pure funky classic rock jazz mix together
David Hughes LOL We're older, not old and grew up in an era that will prob never happen again! Our drugs were good, not this stuff today, who knows what it is, coke that's not coke?? Kids hear some' of this music behind a new rap tune and think the music is 'original' . Older, not old I'm glad, too and for you!
We got to see all the good bands ;)
Did you notice the melodical and instrumental complexity of this song? With no word on composition...
abdiel macías its great right?
+abdiel macías did you notice there's no guitar on side 2 which covers glad, freedom rider & empty pages...
sublime
"Traffic" w/ No gridlock. on The Run .
These guys were ahead of their time. No one else was mixing rock and jazz with such precision!!!
Can´t you see (well, hear)? It´s absolute beauty...
NBA playoffs 2018 game 3 Nice to hear "GLAD" from Traffic during the first break. 1970 good tunes
at twenty , when I bought this gem , I felt all grown and mature . Now at 54 , my act is no act .
I just do not care at what is around us. Love & Nature is all we have.cheers.
Attended their performance at the Nassau Coliseum (NY. Jan 1973). Awesome!
ate some of the best acid listing to this.........best of times.....ageless music...nothing like it today and what a shame it truly is............
freedom rider, super great
because these are the most incredibly indescribable best fantastically jazziest instrumental and vocalist British classical rock in entertainment music history.
funky jazzy love it PURE 70S FUNK
sorry this is not FUNK
NYC....Beautiful City... Visited many times. Ciao .
funky jazz classic rock mix in to a big pot you have TRFFIC
My very favorite group, got to seec4 times or really feel wow
My High school music!!! Song leaders danced to this song!!
Saw them do this at Fillmore East, then a few months later at the old Academy Of Music, when they had the "Welcome To The Canteen" lineup with Reebop (Kwakuu Bah) and Dave Mason.... the word "Awesome" would be an understatement....
Saw them at the Academy also. Late show, 11:30, We got out at 5:45am. Out of hundreds of great concerts I've seen, the best.
+Blackwaterdogs OK now I'm in my realm!! You remember the Academy of Music and the old Fillmore? Good times man. Bet you remember Zap Comics too! Am I right?
+Mitchel Steiner
In those days, I lived on E. 7th St., right near McSorley`s Ale House, went to the Fillmore 2 or 3 nights a week....the Academy`s bathroom was like a goddamn drug store.... :-)
Zap, Furry Freak Brothers, Dopin` Dan, Zippy The Pinhead, all the R. Crumb stuff, still got most of `em....
OH damn! Yep! I had friends on E 63rd and E 72nd back then. Spent my entire working life in NYC. I saw Cheech & Chong and BTO at the Academy. Then times changed and we rolled with it. When the Academy became the Palladium we hit that too as well as 54 and Xenon, etc. Crazy crazy days.
+Mitchel Steiner remember in 72 when the dead played madison garden
