Traffic - Welcome To The Canteen
Traffic’s Welcome to the Canteen from 1971 is a loose, live set that mixes Traffic material with songs from Steve Winwood’s earlier days in the Spencer Davis Group. “Medicated Goo”, “40,000 Headmen” and “Gimme Some Lovin’” are among the standouts, with the band stretching things out without losing the songs completely. The playing is relaxed, warm and full of groove. A very enjoyable live record, and a nice snapshot of Traffic sounding less formal and more like a band simply enjoying the room.
