Traffic - BBC Sessions, Volume 3: John Peel's Sunday Concert, Paris Theatre, London, Britain, 4-30-1970

This is the third Traffic BBC album I'm posting. It's a  concert from 1970. It leans heavily on the "John Barleycorn Must Die" album, which would be released a couple of months later.

At the time, the band was just a trio consisting of Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, and Chris Wood. A few months later, Ric Grech would join on bass. (Prior to Grech joining, Winwood generally did bass parts on his organ.)

When I first posted this album in 2018, I made some decisions that I now regret. One is that the concert was emceed by BBC DJ John Peel, and I cut out all of Peel's banter between songs. I am now restoring all of that. The other is that I added some additional songs at the end, from a November 1970 concert at the Fillmore East. That made sense if I was going to present just one Traffic concert from 1970. But I have since decided that later concert deserves to be posted in full, so I've removed those extra songs from this album. 

 

So this is how I should have posted the album in the first place. Note I also made a slight change to the album title (and thus the cover art too), since it should be "John Peel's Sunday Concert" and not just "In Concert."

 

The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent. 

This album is one hour long.

Originally, I used the cover of a popular bootleg for this concert. But much later, I decided it simply wasn't a very good picture. So I replaced it with a photo of the band playing at Middlesborough, Britain, in March 1970.
