Traffic - BBC Sessions, Volume 3: In Concert, Paris Theatre, London, Britain, 4-30-1970

There are two Traffic concerts in 1970 recorded with excellent sound and later released on bootlegs. Both of them have similar setlists, which lean heavily on the "John Barleycorn" album. One, in April, is from an "In Concert" John Peel show in London on the BBC. The other is from the Fillmore East in New York City in November.

What I've done is present the entire London show, but with commentary from Peel between songs removed. Then I've added in all the songs performed in the Fillmore show that weren't performed at the other show. There were four of them, and I've put those near the end. Also, I adjusted the volume of the audience noise after the Fillmore songs to match the London songs, so it all sounds like one concert. (The music for the different shows were at a similar level, but the audience noise was much louder at one than the other.)

The result is a kind of ultimate 1970 Traffic show, including virtually all the songs they played live that year. It totals an hour and 18 minutes, which would have made a good double album for that era. If you want only one live show from Traffic in 1970, it should be this one.

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.
