This is from near the end of their set opening up for the Grateful Dead. This incarnation of Traffic consisted of Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, Randall Bramblett, Rosko Gee, Michael McEvoy and Walfredo Reyes Jr. I have the entire concert from the video line feed. If you are interested in the complete show send me a message.

To get to see/hear the legendary TRAFFIC was most fortunate. That it was an outdoor show made it the most fantastic show ever (for me and lots of others). The magical thunderstorm that came up when Traffic transitioned with the Dead was sensational. The wind, the lightening, the thunder, the rain, and the MUSIC, made for an incredible show. Did you get your green 'Plant Trees' bumper sticker that my buddy gave out in the parking lot?

I was there to... Dead opened up with RAIN and ended with Mighty Quinn... It was very appropriate because the show started with a rain storm I think was brought on by traffic playing rain maker...then dead played rain and by the end of the night we were all chilly from being soaked they finished with Quinn the Eskimo... Man the memories!!!!!!!!
