    Steve Winwood and traffic always nice. Missing from the original Woodstock of 1969.

    Back in the day they estimated about 400,000 people showed up at Woodstock. Today there are at least ten million people that say they attended.

    Low spark of high heel boys has always struck me as a complex interwoven multi part multi person symphony - traffic and bread and a few other iterations of these super groups always amaze.

    Steve windwood is exceptional here and on this album.

    Dear Mr. Fantasy

    Freedom rider

    John barlycorn must die

    Light up or leave me alone

    Add low spark and you have 5 epic musical treasures - a showcase of rock and roll combined with blues and folk...

    Just sayin.

    On a guitar or any instrument Stevie rules and is  only tiny baby step behind Clapton on the axe !
    On his best day EC merely wishes he could sing like SW !

    Blind Faith
    Blind Faith were the band that introduced the world to the notion of a rock "supergroup," a combo featuring several musicians who had already achieved popularity and critical acclaim before joining forces to make music. Blind Faith also unwittingly established one of the most common features of supergroups -- most featured enough performers with strong résumés and egos to match that internal conflicts were all but inevitable, and as a consequence, they usually fell apart rather quickly. Despite a hit album and a financially successful international concert tour, Blind Faith managed to rise and fall in the space of less than a year, and ultimately proved to be a large but curious footnote in the careers of four giants of British rock: Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Ginger Baker, and Rick Grech.


    Best.

    95% of those who remember being there, or say they were, weren't.  Also including me.  Though I did make it to Carnaby Street 20 years too late.

    I was at the Atlanta Pop Festival in 1969.  It was a great festival, we had Blood Sweat and Tears, Jimi Hendrix, lots of the big groups.
    The announcer got up there and said "There will be a big festival next month in upstate New York.  Y'all ought to go!"
    I didn't make it.  I knew one guy who went, he said it was a muddy hell hole.  That was a change from our festival, we had 98 degree heat.
    Our festival was about as good as Woodstock, but, nobody made a movie about our festival, so nobody ever heard of it.  We had about 300,000 people there.
    If I had known what a Great Cultural Event Woodstock would be, I would have gone.

    Was one of the real attenders at 69. Got there a week early to camp and fish at the Ashocan reservoir. The bass were great. The festival was crowded. I enjoyed it mostly cause having no vehicle walked in. The Woodstock experience was more about being there and the people then the music.  Having bought a advance ticket being one of the surprised non gate crashers. Little disappointing but seeing half naked young girls made up for any real issues.  There was mud blood and Genesee beer but mostly fun at Woodstock and memories beside some bragging rights, Wish Traffic had played at Woodstock!
