Traffic: 1970 SBD and 1994, Woodstock

Traffic as a band has gone through many incarnations with personnel, but the core essence is captured on the soundboard from the Paris 1970 show in a way that needs to be shared and appreciated. The single video live performance of "John Barleycorn" features Randall Bramblett on saxophone, and the duet with Winwood and the late Jim Capaldi is priceless. "40,000 Headman/Low Spark of High-heeled Boys" from the 1994 tour features Jerry Garcia on guitar. The Woodstock 1994 show has a very short but unexpected camera shot on "Empty Pages" at 40 seconds.
