It’s been awhile since we broke out the good China…let’s go show-diving:
- Traffic — 11/18/70 — Fillmore East [.asx]
- Flaming Lips — 2/8/88 — Norman, Oklahoma [.asx] (early shit!)
- Richard Thompson — 10/12/88 — Fillmore SF [.asx]
- Professor Longhair — 8/23/75 — Philly Folk Festival [.asx]
- Richard Manuel solo — 1986 — Woodstock NY? [.asx]
Seriously, I listen to that Traffic show once or twice a week. It’s dyn-o-mite. From the fantastic Bill Graham intro (…in association with Her Majesty the Queen, we bring you Traffic) to the Dear Mr. Fantasy closer, there isn’t a single moment of downtime on this show. The Medicated Goo, Pearly Queen, Empty Pages opening triumvirate can’t be touched, and even if you’re a Traffic newb, you’ll walk away wanting to dig up everything you can from these guys. Youse guys. Get on it.

Did anyone see Steve Winwood doing the Slipnuts song on Conan last night? Absolutely hilarious! Can’t find it on Youtube though.
