Great music (and clips) by great artists. Distracting video effects
by Jane M. Dudgeon (Ashburn, VA)
Thought the DVD was very entertaining when it shows the artists on stage, doing their thing or off-stage clips of the players. Steve is so very talented and gifted. Jim is a hoot in most of the clips. I laughed out loud at times while he was playing and goofing around. You can almost feel him sweat while performing. And during performances on stage and off-stage antics and interview clips, you can tell these guys like what they do and have a good time. I thought Garcia looked old and out of place there. He did not seem to contribute that much; Steve steals the show!! The editing at times is distracting and annoying. It feels like someone wants you to feel like you are on some really mind-altering psychedelic drug and you are seeing halluicinations or LSD like highs. Let the musicians and their performances on stage, along with short-clips of dicussions or videos off stage do the work alone.
5/5
outstanding; must have
by Las Vegas knows concerts (Las Vegas, NV)
The dvd is awesome and if you like Traffic, this MUST be in your collection
5/5
Even horrible video editing can't ruin this gem
by C. Carlson (CA)
I concur with others that the video editing is an abomination. But there are extended segments of pure concert footage and, for the most part, the audio tracks of each song are intact. Traffic is not one of my top 10 bands, but this is one of my top 10 concert DVDs. The music is tight, fresh, artistic, soulful, jamming, rocking, powerful. It is a special moment when a band gets into a groove and can build upon it and pull the audience into that groove with them. It is a rare moment for that groove to be captured on film.
I ripped the audio tracks so that I could enjoy this as an album. I think these recordings are so special that I will probably also get the DualDisk version as well, just to try to get the best audio recordings that I can.
5/5
The Last Traffic Jam DVD
by Lorraine Davis
I thought this was a good live concert footage, well edited, and would recommmend it.
4/5
psychedelic'ize
by G. Hakala (Mpls, USA)
One of the last remnants from the summer of love era. Psychedelic viewing with SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS music.
Thank you Steve for NOT getting too carried away with disrupting dialog between songs. No dialog would have been better. Then again, why on Earth was GLAD stopped mid-song?
Now, if Win, wood just release some killer concert footage from 94'ish Like RUSH or Deep Purple has...............
It's a good DVD, unlike all the rest. It's all we have,,of,,,,TRAFFIC,,,,,,so far!
Traffic - The Last Great Traffic Jam (with Bonus CD) Summary
"Eclectic" is a description that's been overused to the point of cliché, but it certainly applies to Traffic, whose 1994 U.S. Tour is documented in
The Last Great Traffic Jam
. Here was a band, formed in the late '60s, who played psychedelic rock, melodic pop, and traditional folk, with occasional dashes of jazz and world music added to the mix, fronted by Steve Winwood, a preternaturally gifted musician whose inspired soul and R&B vocals earned him comparisons with Ray Charles. Co-founder Chris Wood died in 1983, but in his absence, Winwood and fellow original member Jim Capaldi (drums, vocals) put together a fine touring band, with Randall Bramblett (woodwinds, keyboards) a capable replacement for Wood and Rosko Gee (bass), Walfredo Reyes Jr. (drums, percussion), and Jim McEvoy (keyboards, guitar) filling out the lineup. Traffic lovers may be disappointed that the likes of "Paper Sun" and "Feelin' Alright" aren't on the set list, but the band's inspired versions of other classics, especially "40,000 Headmen," "John Barleycorn," "Glad," "The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys," and "Gimme Some Lovin'" (Winwood's hit with the Spencer Davis Group), reveal just how good this band was. The DVD (which included a bonus CD with three informal studio recordings) isn't perfect; there are too many distracting film effects for this reviewer's taste, and Jerry Garcia's guest appearance on "Dear Mr. Fantasy" is painful, as the Grateful Dead guitarist plays tentatively and looks generally lost and Brian Wilson-esque onstage (Garcia died the following year). Still, despite Winwood's various other incarnations (with Davis, with Blind Faith, and as a solo artist), his stint with Traffic yielded the best music of his career, and
The Last Great Traffic Jam
--which really is "the last," as Capaldi is now dead as well--is a must-have for the group's fans.
