Mr Fantasy: A mini-documentary that Celebrates the 50th anniversary of Traffic's debut album. Find out more at Steve Winwood's official website: www.SteveWinwood.com
One of the greatest bands ever assembled. There will never be another Band like them. Steve Winwood is a musical visionary and genius. I listen to them to this day!
I saw Traffic in 1967/68 in Edinburgh. It was supposed to be a Jethro Tull gig but they got stuck in Europe somewhere. So, the replacement acts were, Traffic, Ten Years After & Family. They were excellent, & I loved 'Hole In My Shoe'
Strolled into Copenhagen for a 4 day side trip just as a two day Rock-fest was staged in an airplane hanger. Got to see Family in August of 71’ w/ John Wieder on bass & violin! Great show! Saw Ten Years After at The Shrine Audit. in 68’ & Traffic 3 nights in a row in 70’: two nights at the Fillmore & the 3rd show in Santa Monica. Amazing memories!
There's a bit of similarity between early Traffic and early Tull, namely the folk element and the flute. Both bands were on Island Records (in the UK). Many years later Jethro Tull started playing "John Barleycorn" on one of their tours.
I just went to a Steve Winwood concert two nights ago, he played several songs from his days with Traffic. Winwood at age 75 sounded every bit as good as he ever did!
I turn 70 next month and last nite I turned my son on to you he will be a fan long after we are gone and hopefully pass great music onto his children . That's immortalized. Thank you .
I had forgotten how good they were , came across Mr Fantasy by change and I’m hooked on them again .. woww nothing like the musicians of that time .. real , true magical notes and sounds .. soo professional .. I salute them and bless them for ever and ever
From what I read about how Dave Mason wanted them only as a backing group_ not a collective of songwriters ,I can appreciate them not commenting on this.Classy,unlike now,where everything is open for public scrutiny. We have become so accustomed to talk show trash,that all some seem to want is dirt on somebody else.Great to know some would not fall for this.
Jimmy Miller is a legend! The guy's so good that The Stones immortalize him in "You can't always get what you want". Never knew about him and Traffic!!
A unique and eclectic bunch of musos - so many brilliant memories from my youth - Traffic was and remains my favourite band. Thank you for the everlasting memories of that is timeless and a joy to groove to.
"These were my very good friends, you know. And they're all gone, you know. So it's of course, it's a, 'tis a, it's, you know, sort of bittersweet, you know, return to...to remembering all these good times with friends who're no longer with us. Yeah? More bittersweet than I...I imagined it would be." That says it all right there. SW had me in tears. His grief evident as he stumbled over his words. Yet in typical stiff upper lip fashion, he gives an incongruous sweet smile as the camera cuts away.
My Mr music Steve Winwood talks about Traffic, which was a rock/blues and jazzband that made them known in the whole modern music world. Traffic is dead long ago, but the central figure is still rocking more than 70 years old looking 60 and is a central figure in keeping the synthesis of rock and roll, blues, and jazz alive. Thanks for hanging on in the variety of modern music.
Traffic for me was always a special band and sound they got. Very few managed to cross pollinate so many styles with so much class. To get together before 67 and stay making music into the 70's was already quite an achievement. They had/ve a great sound. As a Brit I feel they encapsulated a very english sound of psychedelia up there with the best of them. Tracks like 40 thousand headmen and Hidden Treasure represent this gorgeous acoustic funky ethnic feel that few bands managed to pull off let alone such treasures. Loved the folk feels too in the music that are there right from the word go too. A wonderful band one I never tire of listening too.
Outlandish artist,Stevie Winwood is always in my and my family's hearts, all his production is timeless...with all our admiration,,,God bless Stevie always for all the joy he has brought to millions of humans, not just me!!!!!
I had the great pleasure of seeing Traffic three times when they came through Chicago in the early 1970's. Me and my mates were huge fans. We had all their records and played their music in our band. I have the absolute, ultimate respect for Steve Winwood. He's a huge part of my life.
"I have the absolute, ultimate respect for Steve Winwood." - Ditto. Winwood's ascension was guaranteed based just on "Gimme Some Lovin'" and "I'm A Man". His Hammond B3 riffs and singing at 16, 17 were phenomenal. I got to see Traffic at the Fillmore East in '68? His first solo record has always had a special place in my heart. His solo work, like Traffic, is underrated. It might be said that some of it is close to syrupy, but coming from Steve W., it's always genuine.
Back in the 60's so many records were released for Christmas and I remember walking into a record store and bought Magical Mystery Tour and Mr. Fantasy in 1967 and had a mighty psychedelic Christmas!
Great mini-doc but I wish it could have been longer. I could have watched this for hours. Steve has one of rock's great voices and I've loved him since I first heard Keep on Runnin'. I remember there was an early B side (sorry young people) called Blues in F where Stevie as he was then known played a marvellous guitar instrumental. I think he was 14 at the time. I'm 71 now and still can't play as well as Steve did in the early 60s. I keep trying trying though. I think some people are naturally talented. Dear Mr Fantasy is a very underrated song and always sounds fresh to me. Another favourite is No Name, No Face, No number. Thanks Steve for all the great music that you have been involved with.
Just hearing the opening notes of Mr. Fantasy in a radio advertisement for the album made me realize Traffic was something special and the group immediately became one of my favorites. Mr. Fantasy was a state of mind, a wonderful, happy and friendly place to be. The imagery in Traffic's songs is so evocative, vibrant and compelling, it was a place I wanted to return to over and over again. They captured a special aspect of the zeitgeist which made them seem like they were on the same journey as everyone else in the counterculture.
Beautifully stated. I feel the same way about Traffic and their place in the story of my generation. And I always liked the way that Paper Sun took a playfully sardonic look at psychedelia. "Too much sun will burn " being one example. Mr.Fantasy is ,in my view, one of the greatest debut albums from that period.The best songs on it are both of their time and timeless.
Wooowww. After watching this what a beautiful time it seemed like! It goes to show how different it was between generations/times. Try doing this today! The living together as a band, and only job was jamming any time you wanted during day/night, could sleep in an old cottage in country with just mattress on floor....SAFELY...lol. What a beautiful time it seemed. 🙂
What a treat to see. Steve is still so rightfully beloved, and such an amazing talent, but Jim ,Chris and Dave earned a special place all their own that's creatively head and shoulders above so much of what their era produced. I'll never tire of their music!
My favorite band of all time. Very creative, unusual and cool music. Heaven Is In Your Mind and Paper Sun slay me. I will never tire of them. But in fact, due to the high standards of the boys, there were many great tunes, and equally interesting lyrics. I'll tell you what's truly amazing: Traffic, The Band, Cream, The Dead, the Stones, and Hendrix were all playing at the same time! What the hell, man! If you were paying attention, and you had a good ear, you couldn't go wrong. :)
March 1972 I'm a senior in high school. Two friends and I have 3 tickets to see Traffic. We don't have a way to get to the concert though. One of my friends brother has an old Chevy that doesn't run. It's cold out and we work all day and finally we get the car running. We don't shut the car off for fear it wouldn't start again. We somehow make it to the gig and the band Traffic is amazing. Blow away concert. One of the best ever. No band is even close to being as unique and talented.
I was born and raised on with Traffics music from the age of 2 and now t 56 enjoy to the fullest God bless Chris Jones any time I here a flute I think of him and Steve voice is signature
This Man Steve Winwood is a Genius ..look him up ..Spencer Davis Group .. Then ...Formed This Great Band Called TRAFFIC .. i do recall as a kid hearing Paper Sun on an old vintage record player ..Then .. I discovered Music .. Beatles were good but ..But Hey These guys were very very Good ..above anyone else ...
Great doc of one of the all-time great bands! Dear Mr. Traffic, you wrote and played the soundtrack of our lives at a time in our lives that was unparalleled! And in doing so, you made us all ha-ppy! God bless and keep you all, always!
Maybe the best show I've been to, Steve Winwood at the Ryman Auditorium here in Nashville. I had perfect seats (a Christmas gift from my wife). Everyone goes to the Ryman to listen to the music, not like going for the show, ya know? Very intimate, acoustically great place to listen and I got to hear Steve Winwood and his band do Everything from Spencer Davis, Traffic, and his solo work... What a deserving Icon of music! Thanks Steve
Love these guys! Steve had so much balls when he was young "it's that the public has to try and accept us." So true about the white artists sort of picking a black artist to be like (I always thought Winwood was the white Ray Charles: Ray could sing anything and make it sound like it had soul, and so could Steve). RIP Campaldi , Wood, and Miller. Miller is the unsung genius of this whole scene and I am thinking of writing a screenplay about him!.
Love to hear these guys describing what they wanted to do and how they did it...freedom and togetherness was at the heart of it...they truly succeeded in what they set out to do musically...that is pretty rare in life...even if it didn't last nearly long enough...love Winwood's brummie accent, so reflective and quietly joyful
Stevie was wide-eyed and innocent in the early days about just how good he really was… I mean, really really good (natural) singer with a great high range and pitch perfect sense of tuning…. what a legend!!
I first heard Dear Mr. Fantasy when I was a teenager. I was experimenting with pot and I interpreted the song to mean something about an altered state of consciousness, like being on drugs. Steve Winwood's vocal and melody was key. John Lennon wrote happiness is a warm gun and it also resonated the same way.
@@rikk7041 He wrote the "biggest" hit single, even though that wasn't really the band's "vibe" ~ too poppy. He also wrote 30% of the tracks of "Mr Fantasy" and was involved in writing a further track. He's there on the front cover. Having said that I don't think they were pretending he wasn't in the band, he just didn't get too many mentions, didn't Steve mention the two words "bitter sweet" with regard to memories of band members ;-)
Thanks, Steve. Finally had the pleasure of hearing you in Auckland a few years ago. Your music has had a great influence on me from the early 70's till today. That 'free' state of mind has always remained :)
Great to see this. Bitter-sweet indeed....sweet-bitter and bitter-sweet, flowers and sunlight and heather and heath, misty rain and fog-drenched melodies, thank you Traffic for all you have been and all you still are!
Innovativi, straordinari musicisti.. hanno scritto tra le pagine più entusiasmanti della musica . Rimangono ahimè tra i più sottovalutati artisti del secolo scorso. Grandissimi!!!!
One of the greatest bands ever assembled. There will never be another Band like them. Steve Winwood is a musical visionary and genius. I listen to them to this day!
Organ, flute, crazy percussion, Steve's voice! No one sounded like Traffic
for sure.
Less is more in that jazz setting that they placed Steve's voice in.
Monstrous band!
Thanks
It's an honor here just to see and hear Jim.
I saw Traffic in 1967/68 in Edinburgh. It was supposed to be a Jethro Tull gig but they got stuck in Europe somewhere. So, the replacement acts were, Traffic, Ten Years After & Family. They were excellent, & I loved 'Hole In My Shoe'
Jesus, what a lineup ! I would loved to see any of those bands during that period. Can you share any memories of Family as a live band ?
Strolled into Copenhagen for a 4 day side trip just as a two day Rock-fest was staged in an airplane hanger. Got to see Family in August of 71’ w/ John Wieder on bass & violin! Great show! Saw Ten Years After at The Shrine Audit. in 68’ & Traffic 3 nights in a row in 70’: two nights at the Fillmore & the 3rd show in Santa Monica. Amazing memories!

Traffic never gets old. Still blows my mind.
It takes me back to another world.thank you guys.
stacyblue1980 always a favourite band.played the l.p. To death.
.
one of the most criminally underrated 60’s bands
Stevie's and Clapton's music were the songs of my life and still are
RIP Jim Capaldi and Chris Wood.
Winwood is maybe the greatest musician of any age!
I just went to a Steve Winwood concert two nights ago, he played several songs from his days with Traffic. Winwood at age 75 sounded every bit as good as he ever did!
A very unique band. The songs never get old because they are timeless.
I turn 70 next month and last nite I turned my son on to you he will be a fan long after we are gone and hopefully pass great music onto his children . That's immortalized. Thank you .
No matter how it came together, you guys wrote and made some of the greatest music ever. Thank You for that!
They really did. True talent born for it.
I had forgotten how good they were , came across Mr Fantasy by change and I’m hooked on them again .. woww nothing like the musicians of that time .. real , true magical notes and sounds .. soo professional .. I salute them and bless them for ever and ever

I loved all of Traffics music especially Low Spark of the High Heeled Boys when it came out. I love it all. Get the album and just enjoy it.
Traffic was so original it changed my perception of life when I hear their music it transports me to the 70 s the freedom and excitement of life 😍💗
Absolutely agree
Made me leave that Noodle Factory.
Love this band so much. This piece with Steve and Jim recounting what happened is also very very special
"These were my very good friends, you know. And they're all gone, you know. So it's of course, it's a, 'tis a, it's, you know, sort of bittersweet, you know, return to...to remembering all these good times with friends who're no longer with us. Yeah?

What was the name of your band? Did you play live gigs? Be interested to hear. Be well, play on!

The thing is unlike the average lives of most people, they're not all gone, they still live in the music they gave us.

Not for long 😩

Still plays with Old Slowhand. Good mates, too.

Sixpence for the phone. Screw inflation ay ?
Everyone in this band stood out as a highly skilled musician. Together, absolute magic!
Bittersweet indeed, it brings so many Beautiful vibes back...love your voice Steve, it thrills my soul..
Blind Faith was one of the first albums I had at age 15. Steve Winwood was amazing to hear for many decades thereafter!
Wooowww. After watching this what a beautiful time it seemed like!
It goes to show how different it was between generations/times.
Try doing this today! The living together as a band, and only job was jamming any time you wanted during day/night, could sleep in an old cottage in country with just mattress on floor....SAFELY...lol. What a beautiful time it seemed. 🙂
Such a great band... thank you.
geckonia Amen Bro
yes, thank you
I've always wanted to know more about Chris Wood. He really seemed like talented and interesting fellow. Chris "Woodwind" Wood. Far out.

Reading the comments, it's clear that not mentioning mr. Mason seems to be a great way to put attention on him.
I think i am in love with Steve Winwood.
God bless Chris Wood & Jim Capaldi!
I have very fond memories of Traffic, they were a great band.
Wonderful band, wonderful sound, wonderful music. Thank you ! 🙏
Great doc of one of the all-time great bands! Dear Mr. Traffic, you wrote and played the soundtrack of our lives at a time in our lives that was unparalleled! And in doing so, you made us all ha-ppy! God bless and keep you all, always!
Felt his pain at the end there, great talents.
thankyou steve for all your wonderful music you have given us your up there with the very best
Thanks for listening

Until today I listen to Traffic more or less over time on my old records. The melodies are so timeless. You made me happy!
People....I've just only found now this gem...there'are no other words how to explain and renew my eternal love for TRAFFIC..... Walter from Italy

Thanks, Steve, for more than a half-century of great music! 😎
Traffic was a great band. Cool documentary. Just happen to have Twenty Thousand Headmen on my trail. Cheers
Stevie was wide-eyed and innocent in the early days about just how good he really was… I mean, really really good (natural) singer with a great high range and pitch perfect sense of tuning…. what a legend!!
You guys were and are great! Thanks for the magic.
Sooooo grateful I saw them live ,in their original line up that summer of 1970.
Thank you, Traffic had/has a sound that no one else can touch !
Thank you. The history, telling it now, is important
Stevie Winwood, Michael McDonald, Joe Cocker, I don't know who's my favorite on any given day but they're great.
Thank you for this Steve. Saw Dave Mason's Traffic Jam in Honokaa, Hawaii in 2015. He's alive and kicking. What a great, nice guy.
I first heard Dear Mr. Fantasy when I was a teenager. I was experimenting with pot and I interpreted the song to mean something about an altered state of consciousness, like being on drugs. Steve Winwood's vocal and melody was key. John Lennon wrote happiness is a warm gun and it also resonated the same way.
What a great title for the album! This band was a treasure! Thanks!
beautiful souls, all. thank you.
Still great music all these years later quite a testament to their talent
Thank you for sharing this documentary! You are legend!
Great stories, from great times . Great Musicians
Gentlemen I thank you and am .. humbled
Winwood was a prodigy! Amazing performer and musician! Every era of Winwood was/is amazing!!
Pure talent
& yeah Jimmy Miller was GREAT
Bless you all & thank you
One of the greatest albums ever, no mention of Dave Mason. I have to listen to it now !
Yes, it seemed that a lot of effort was made to pretend Dave Mason wasn't involved in Traffic. Childish, isn't it?

@@SuperNevile They absolutely ignored his contributions to their founding.
great band. last summer I saw a Steve concert in Italy. touched my heart. thanks for Your music Sir
This is MUSIC. Created before I was….yet still sounds just as Bold, Beautiful and Relevant!
Some of the photos
taken up the Downs
near Aston Upthorpe.
Great Band.
Thank you
Steve spirit in deed
Albert! 😎🍀👍🌞🌻🎸🎤
That one where it looks like ancient barrows, along with all those timeless 'sheepwalks'. Jim turned the rest of the Band onto these olde landscapes.
Thanks, Steve. Finally had the pleasure of hearing you in Auckland a few years ago. Your music has had a great influence on me from the early 70's till today. That 'free' state of mind has always remained :)
My favorite band! What an insightful interview. Thanks !❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
"Going to Australia by hovercraft" Fantastic!! you'r my hero matey!!!
A true iconic Psychedelic Masterpiece , which has endured the test of time , Classic !
I love Steve Winwood. He was like 12 when all this went down. Will music ever be like this again?
I miss those days. I was mesmerized listening to Traffic. People were different then
What 11 crazies give a thumbs down to the greatest band ever
When it's real, you FEEL it!
Love all my Traffic Lp's! Hypnotic psychedelia with a splash of soul.
My favorite concert over the past 50 years was Traffic @ Boston Music Hall 1973.
Thank you Steve for all of the great music 🎶
Very interesting. One of my favorite bands.
Saw them 4× in NYC and once in Wichita. Fantastic every time!!!
Great to see this. Bitter-sweet indeed....sweet-bitter and bitter-sweet, flowers and sunlight and
heather and heath, misty rain and fog-drenched melodies, thank you Traffic for all you have been and all you still are!
So English, and yet Ray Charles plus caps of blue and Sax & Flute too.
And still listening to Traffic to this day! Just an amazing band.
What a song ! What a band ! What a record ;D
I can understand their relationship with Dave and not mentioning him, but we should also give thanks to Mr. Mason.✌
Thanks for he music Steve.
