Traffic - Woodstock 1994 (1994)

... and the group quickly blasted through Pearly Queen and Medicated Goo before hitting its stride with a killer jam during Rock & Roll Stew. Steve Winwood and company sounded better than ever, following a work-out on the Grateful Dead´s summer tour. While the ensemble's set list was predictable, every note of every song was extremely well played, and plenty of improvisation took place. The highlight of the 90-minute set was a jazzy version of Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys, which was perfect for driftin' and dreamin'. Throughout the set, Winwood more than proved that he hadn't lost his gift of banging out melodic piano and guitar solos, something that has been missing from his solo work ...
