During the live performance at Woodstock 94 on August 14, 1994, Traffic was experiencing a resurgence in their career. This performance occurred shortly after the band reunited in 1994, marking their return after an 18-year hiatus since their disbandment in 1974. Prior to this reunion, their last studio album was "When the Eagle Flies," released in 1974. The band performed a selection of their classic hits, including "Gimme Some Lovin'," showcasing their blend of rock, blues, and jazz influences that had characterized their earlier work. This live recording served not only to reintroduce Traffic to a new generation of fans but also highlighted the enduring appeal of their music. Notably, Steve Winwood, a key member and founder, remains celebrated for his exceptional musicianship and distinctive voice, which played a significant role in Traffic's sound and legacy.
