god bless little stevie winwood, god bless Traffic. i first heard this tune on the rarely heard live Traffic album, "welcome to the canteen", though i can't access that live cut for some reason(drat!). go find this old gem, it starts off bopping with this cut, features the lovely, "shouldn't have took more than you gave" and other dave mason led treats like "sad and deep as you" and "40,000 headman"( with reboop's great hand drumming) and ends with the monstrous two punch of mr fantasy>give me some loving. this july 71 croydon and oz benefit at farfield hall is a must have for any Traffic fan or any groovy music lover.
i present to you the studio version as a peace offering

Takes me back to college, when "Welcome to the Canteen" was in heavy rotation amongst the vinyl in my dorm-mate's collection. Love it!

too bad Apple doesn't let me migrate it from itunes, i wish i could put up the whole album.

Another great cut from that album is the first 7:42 of "Feelin Good," with its seamless transitions between bluesy and non-bluesy. It motivated me to check out the original 1965 Broadway cast recording of _The Roar of the Greasepaint_ with a Gilbert Price singing the song, and it is unlistenably horrible.

My Trusted MOGs

My Trusted MOGs
feelin good? it isn't on the original, maybe they remastered and added tracks?

Sorry, I was referring to their '69 United Artist LP _Last Exit_. Now iI guess _Canteen_ is on my want list. Good post.
