Traffic Performs 'Glad' and 'Freedom Rider' at Woodstock 94

Venue: Woodstock 94 Location: Saugerties, NY, United States Date: August 14, 1994

In August 1994, Traffic performed at Woodstock '94, marking a significant moment in their career as they reunited for this iconic music festival. Prior to this live recording, the band had released their album "The Last Great Traffic Jam" in 1994, which was a collection of live performances and previously unreleased material. This album was noteworthy as it showcased the band's enduring influence and allowed them to reconnect with both old fans and a new generation. During the Woodstock performance, the tracks "Glad" and "Freedom Rider" emphasized Traffic's signature blend of rock, jazz, and psychedelic influences, exemplified by Steve Winwood's exceptional musicianship. Interestingly, this appearance at Woodstock was part of a late-career revival for the band, highlighting their legacy in the late '90s and their ongoing relevance in the rock genre.
