- Traffic Dear Mr Fantasy - Live At The Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, 1972
"Dear Mr. Fantasy" is a rock song by Traffic from their 1967 album, Mr. Fantasy. Jim Capaldi contributed the lyrics, while Steve Winwood and Chris Wood composed the music.
In a song review for AllMusic, Lindsay Planer writes:
A slightly trippy dark and foreboding tone permeates both the lyrics and arrangement contrasting the rock-solid pop delivery. Tying it all together are Winwood’s emotive and residually mournful lyrics. With a distinct blue-eyed soul intonation - perfected during a seminal stint in the Spencer Davis Group - he effortlessly increases the drama with a combination of slightly behind the beat timing and empathic vocals.
Dave Matthews mentioned this song specifically as part of his speech inducting Traffic into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and this is the song performed by the surviving members of Traffic as part of that same induction.

I'm 70 now. If you didn't grow up during this era, I can't explain it to you. Such beautiful memories. Such an enlightening period in my life. I was 100% immersed in the culture as a teenager. I remember when this song came out.
Oh my dearness... I just now love watching these bands and remembering my favourite at the moment is watching "the move" with Roy Wood ...
The first time I heard this song was when I belonged to a record club. I got an album by Mike Bloomfield & Al Cooper. It was fabulous.
I am 60 and I remember it is on my all time play list.
I'm 27 y old and defently didn't live the 70' era but I'm sure I was a 60' 70' kid in another past life, as I can't explain to myself how can I understand that feeling and have such a connection to this kind of music. I swear I never do drugs 😂
I get a contact high seeing his dilated eyes and the mysteries of the universe unfolding in his mind as he sings
I’m 81 and blessed to have lived through the greatest of times!
78 here ( 9/25/45 ). I wouldn't trade my memories of this era for all the $$$ in the world. C'mon time machine...my days are getting shorter!
I'm 20 years behind you sir, but I love drifting back to those times. They were the best. I have much respect for my elders cause I learned so much from y'all.
is dave mason still alive
@@williambellmore6566Yes, Dave Mason is still alive.
Ja słucham w Polsce Pozdrawiam❤😊
Just want to say hi to all of us old tough coots that are still around because you have to be tough to make it this far in life.
Old age is not for sissies 😂
Hi right back at you! It's a trip getting old but when I hear stuff like this, my heart and soul are still filled with joy.....despite all the other stuff life throws at you. Keep rocking and rolling...!
I can remember when I heard this song for the first time ..I was five years old .My Mom drove a 63Falcon and we would hit the backroads with windows down .This song came ongoing down Bear Run Road in Pennsylvania.I was in back seat with my head back against the seat with my chin up and eyes closed .I was taking it all in .Thank You God for letting me be alive in that era!
Awesome memories ❤️
What a great descriptive image. We didn't have digital anything, music was the thing ! Bet u didn't have a seat belt on either.
You're really beautiful
Wow I really can't believe this.
My mom got her driving license and the car she had was a 63 Vulcan. My mom and my two brothers were in the car when we first heard on the radio that Elvis has passed away.
I still love that car
I was 3yrs old in 72'
My Mom died that yr ... My brother was 17 yrs older and He would play this song for Me as well as many other greats... I'm so thankful for him and for growing up with Talented Musicians and just a way better time , than now....
Steve is so young!!! I wish we all could go back to 1972.
Awesome Era in Music
I don’t want to be 2 years old again but I’ll take 1992. 😂
Me too!
I’m 74 and was there for all of it and I don’t want to go back to anything it doesn’t get any better than right now.
Yes 72 was a Great Time....FREEDOM was Everywhere

Couple years ahead of you at 68, m'brotha! But what you said is 100% correct!
Man I feel u guys turned 60 few mths ago . Had all traffic albums in youth .where did the time go ?

Steve winwood Peter Gabriel Ginger Baker and who else was traffic I forget I'm missing one more damn low spark of high heeled boys baby Gabriel
I'm 71 now, I lived threw those days, best tunes,cars,and girls wearing mini skirts😊
And bullet bras or no bras lol
71 here 😊😊😊😊 those were great times !!!! My 1965 impala SS 4 speed, 409 !!!😊😊😊😊😊
I’m a bit younger. Guys had long hair-sideburns and slim bodies with a “hint” of muscle definition, yummy! ❤
I wore mini dresses/skirts too, with knee length black shiny boots. Aka Nancy Sinatras song…these boots are made for walking🎵
@@KittyGrizGriz EZ KITTY !!!!!👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 happy valentines day!!!!🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
@@artmchugh5644 I had a ‘64 Impala automatic, white with blue interior, power windows, 2 door. Not an SS though, I swear that car was a guy magnet, practically every time I filled up with gas a guy was asking me if she was for sale. Loved that car! My friends boyfriend had a black SS with headers, we were constantly getting pulled over by cops in the late ‘70’s as teenagers…just because…ugh…haha.
Steve Winwood dishes out a great guitar solo here! Truly a Renaissance talent
Couldn't agree more!
He’s perfection
Turned 70 two weeks ago, my brother who turned me onto all this excellent music back in 60's, 70's...turns 75 tomorrow. If he hadn't been hip to Cream, Profile Harum, Traffic...hell, I don't know what I woulda listened to! But...I love these bands, love Winwood's voice...thanks, big bro, love ya ❤❤!
Procol haram not profile
Thanks to TRAFFIC, for the memories!!
Compared to today these times and music seem like a beautiful dream.wish I never would have awoken
I don't know man !!! That Taylor Swift is pretty good?? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@artmchugh5644Who is Taylor Swift? 😎
@@dianatautz6100 exactly!!!! She is no Carly Simon 😁😁😁🎸🎸🎸🎤🎤🎼🎼🎼🍺🍺🍺
@@artmchugh5644 Not at all! 😅
@@dianatautz6100Don’t be putting down Taylor Swift. Please. She gives back to the communities and was just voted Time Magazine’s “Person of the Year” for 2023. She has a whole wing at the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Took my 18yr old granddaughter who reads music, plays acoustic/just gave her my Yamaha keyboard, she’s teaching herself. Lots of people from tots to older folks were enjoying it; classrooms/workshops to encourage children in the music-arts. Pretty Cool. 😉
@artmchugh5644
If you don’t like this classic you don’t like music!!
So true
Ive been listening to thsi song since 1972...Im 57...52 years and it still sounds awesome
your mother gave birth to you in 1972. I wish I could remember music that was played the first year I was born. LOL!!!! Im 50.. Im just giving you shit!!!! WE are so lucky to have been able to be apart of all the different genre of music somewhat within our era. God bless Brother!!
The first time I heard this song I thought, “Here’s one of them special songs that you’d wish would just play on & on & on. Nearly sixty years later & it evokes the same feeling. Every single time!
Life was good back then things went south- BUMMER 😼
Bush, Obama, Biden!😢😢
I haven't listened to this song in a while. His voice is haunting and sad,& emotional but somehow uplifting.
The outro is a message that everything is going to be alright.
The voice alone of Steve Winwood is priceless.
I'm 67 and we had the greatest music that will ever be i hope they all know how much they have given ✌️ and love to the survivors and those who have passed on😎✌️🌄 you left us a lot of cool music and memories!!
Winwood's guitar skills are hugely underappreciated. Great video! Thanks for the trip back.
I grew up during these times and I will be eternally grateful for all the good music, memories and energy we shared. I still get chills when I hear this particular song, I mean who didn't?
Haunting song from one of the true musical geniuses of our time!
From Spencer Davis (at age 16!), to Blind Faith, Traffic and solo, so many great songs!!
YES, ME AND i AM 71 YEARS YOUNG, STARTED LISTINING TO TRAFFIC BACK IN 1970, MY SENIOR YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL, AND STILL PLAY MR WINWOODS MUSIC TODAY, MARCH 3 2024, HUGE FAN OF TRAFFIC AND STEVIES SOLO CAREER.
I’m 64 & live in Oregon. Such a magical time. 🎶 💓
I was 14 when this came out, still remember it well. You can explain this time or the music to anyone who didn’t live it. My kids even said I grew up during the coolest time in history.
It's kinda like if you didn't live it, you probably don't get it. But I'm hoping as music comes around again, these classics will be appreciated again. I'll bet most of you out there never thought you'd ever be 64 or older! Hahahaha!
What incredible music. And Steve Winwood just 24. Incredible guitar playing!
67 and loving it!
68 here and still loving it too! I saw them around 1973.
Brings back memories of a time long gone but I lived it!
Takes me back to a great time, great music. If you were not there you could not understand. I wish you could
We never realized how Blessed we were to have grown up with music like this. Amazing, Beautiful and brings back so many joyful memories. The 70's were a special time.
You might be high , but you'll never be " Steve Winwood in Traffic " high .
🤣🤣
I wondered if he was high as well as everyone else on stage. His facial expression has panicked and relaxed at the same time. Regardless....they killed this song!! I've been listening to it for two days straight....and watching the live performances!
He be wacked
I came somewhat close new to edibles THC standard 100mg test. Package says take one so naturally I took 3 was tripping hardcore balls 3 days afterwards.
I was 20 years old in 1972. Not long before this, I saw Traffic performing a live concert at The Bandshell in The Central Park Mall. The music was great, and one of the things I always remembered was that it was the first time I had ever seen a green guitar! He just got better and better through the years. Right on, Little Stevie! Work that tambourine, Big Jim!
I can't get enough of the tambourine man absolutely getting it
He's the writer
@@kenmcbride6515 That probably explains why he is clearly feeling it so much
Saw them at The Tower in Philly, 1975… I was told I had a really good time 😂
😊
Yup, if you can remember it you weren't there. lol
I'm sure you had company lol
You had a Fantastic time.
Looks like steve might not remember it as well...
This song man they don't make music like this anymore totally ahead of its time.
One of my top 10 bands
Timeless!
Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded!😅
He's a brilliant guitarist. They were the best of the best...
I'm 73 lived it brothers & sisters
I forgot about how good a guitarist Steve Wood is. He went off the charts on this.
Steve Winwood. Geez....
Saw Traffic with Joe Cocker at the George Amphitheater in Washington State over 30 years ago.
I grew up with this kind of music in the 60's and 70's.
What a great era for bands and music.
Now I am 64 and still a fan.
I hear ya, though I think ya probably meant over 50 years (wow, really that long ago?, where does the time go?) since Croce died in September of 73. Another talent taken to soon.
@@Bob63198 LOL! I had to make a correction.I meant Joe Cocker instead of Jim Croce.
Sorry! You are right.Thank you and yes,time has flown by.
Must of been an excellent show❤
Was a sophomore when this came out…thank you Lord for letting me be a teenager in without a doubt the best times ever!
Steve Winwood-boy genius at that time. Love, love, love Traffic for over 50 years and will continue.
Well, he was 14 when he started with Spencer Davis! He was a vet of 3 super groups by this point. At the age of 24.
Wow. Just wow! Such consumate professionals. I'm going to sound old now - but there really aren't bands like this around anymore, except for those who've continued t survive from this era. As for Steve Winwood's GUITAR playing ..!!
Everyone dug music in the day, not no more, it seems.
Great music is still being made today. Just have to search harder. Good place to start BBC 6 Music.
@@pressureworks they won't. the reality is that so many old people make this same comment because they stop searching for new music like they did when they were growing up. they find their bands, listen to them to death and then revel in how great they were and how nothing will ever come close even though they do nothing to discover new music. i say all this because i am one of those old people and ive learned to keep my mouth shut. i ve also found a few newer-ish bands that work for me. just have to make an effort but it's way easier to stay in your rut and pine about the glory days.
At 66 yo I still love this song. The guitars the words. Take a ride in the way back machine!
I tripped when I saw this video this week. I can remember my dilated pupils, I can remember the traces and tracts and the rush. I can remember the colors, the upside down chalkboard, people walking and talking in slow motion. Good damned times 70 - 75, and now at 68 I get to enjoy them again. Love you Mr. Winwood, and glad you made it past 27!
Winwood what a talent! The golden age of music late 60's to mid 70's. He was so melodic and a virtuoso on guitar as well as keyboards. Traffic were an amazing band under the guiding hand of the great Jimmy Miller 👏
I will never get tired of this. It’s perfection!
I agree...one of my favourite live performances Wish I was there and I caught that tambourine!. Steve Winwood is not of this Earth .
Now i'm 72 years and
I remember so much these musik. It's. my.ife....
Wow. Steve Winwood. No one would think that guitar was not his first instrument. What tone! What command of the instrument. Breath taking!
Agreed. I remember seeing him on an old VHS recording - not sure of what - but he was holding his own with none other than Eric Clapton.
My thoughts exactly 🤯
To me Steve Winwood is a melodic singer story teller .Who just happens to be able to play.
These where not the only instruments. He also can play drums, Sax, Flute and some others. He is a real genius with instruments
Look at Can't find my way home..with Clapton, live it Crossroads! Need not say anything
Yes I’m listening in 2024. Welcome To The Canteen is a Best album ever:)
Hard to believe this was from 50 years ago! Where did all that time go?!! Great that we can see these performances whenever we want but nothing feels like the real live concert experience.
I am 68 , I was wondering the same thing !!!!!!
and I'm 69 ...wonderin too...Enjoy🌹👏🏼
So accessible, like an old wife. Don't take her too, for granted.
I was in college at UW Seattle in 1972. What a time to be alive, the music!
Released in 1967… 56 years ago
Rock and Roll that will never grow old. Traffic at its best!
Was born in 72 ❤
I'm still listening to this 2024
Now that's a live performance
so many artist suck in person, they are awesome~
@@sandals42159 yeah a lot bands play backing tracks bunch of phonies
@@JohnSmith-ds1fm The best bands I ever heard live were Heart, Chicago, and Santana.
@sandals42159 Zeppelin, the police, and the cars were a few of the many bands I've seen that were awesome live
@@JohnSmith-ds1fm I saw The Police at Foxboro! They are great, too!
At 70 it doesn't get much better. Thank you.
I’m 63 and this song was a staple on KMET and KLOS in Los Angeles throughout the early to mid 70’s. The Stones, Zeppelin, The WHO, Deep Purple, J Giels Band, ZZTop, and on and on. So many really talented rock bands back then.
I'm 58 this is an awesome tune
I saw them at the Santa Monica auditorium in 1972 . I was 17 with my boyfriend then. Now my husband who was a bigger fan than I was. But that night I was hooked. They were awesome. Didn’t realize the swampers were playing that night, roger Hawkins on drums, David hood on bass and Barry on keyboards. Long live the swampers
My Dad is of this generation of rock and roll, seen them all, but he said when Traffic came to town there was no need for weed, trips, whatever. Cuz watching Capaldi imitating a lava lamp with his stage persona was enough to put him in the zone- and then Winwood jams like on this. What a group of musicians before us ladies and gentlemen....😮😮😮
Those eyes 👀👀👀👀👀 I thought mine where obvious when under the influence but damn! God bless
74 and loving it. Feel very blessed
One of the Best Songwriters , Musicians Still going today Steve Windwood was on some really good acid for this particular performance in 1972 .
I'm 71 and this music still turns me on
I would love to go back to this time period and live the rest of my days out , I would also try forget all this ugliness in which we live through in this time period
What a bad ass tune
bands like Traffic, the Stones and Blind Faith were producing stuff that lasts. I was blessed to see Winwood quite a few times. Always funny and a happy guy onstage.
Straight Up 🎉I saw Traffic not once but Twice,and perhaps more than that as he used to play the Boston Music Hall in Boston, my Beantown baby back in the Day, 1972 and I was 16 years old!! The tickets were never more than $6 or $7 bucks and we used to seriously bitch when they would charge $12 a pop because the main artist that was playing there were World Famous and had been performing on the reg.! Anyway, I will fill you in with the rest of my exploits next time around 😅
Or Not 😮
The Last concert I went to was Emerson, Lake and Palmer warming up for Deep Purple. It was a steady barrage of memories all night long! I so miss the 70's and 80's , I'd give everything I own to go back!!!!!
My fav band of that time, also my first concert at the old Kiel Opera House in St Louis. Just awesome.
What a wonderful venue. Saw so many great shows at the Opera House. The Dead, the Who, Clapton.@@neverettebrakensiek8771
Wow Steve Winwood playing lead guitar I thought he was keyboard player , what a great song .
He was 17 when he recorded this song.
How could Steve Winwood, being a master of guitar, not be recognized as the greatest of his generation?
Because there were man greats from his generation
I remember saying "get Steve in there" when Jerry died. People looked at me like I was crazy. :-)
also a great composer!
He was at that time.
Traffic albums are great through a good set of headphones. What sounds like hippie noodling reveals itself to be intricate and complex. It is sort of jazzy but doesn't really fall into any catagory.
Damn, I miss those old days. ✌🏻
Not that old but member my old mas ( r.i.p) back in the 80?s blasting traffic songs in the house ... Cheers from Mexico City ya'll!!!!
What a FABULOUS Time to Live Through! I WAS THERE!! Saw them live many times! I’m 76 now and still rockin on!
1972 we were tripping our brains out, my last year in high school, what a night, love you Stevie
I was with ya...here in fla. Doin the same...wow what times!
Me too!
The most rawest guitar solo ever. So flawed technically but utterly brilliant. Steve also looks so spaced out. Love it
It's spiritual when the music flows and the light shines.
I can hear this song and I’m immediately transported to a summer day in 1972
But I was only 3 then but I was alive
this has always benn one of my favorites. Its been 'playlist' before there were playlists
Iconic sound of Traffic. Thanks so much Steve, Jim and the band
Steve’s eyes are saucers but he doesn’t miss a note!
Certain substances prevalent during that time could cause your pupils to dilate ;-)
Lol I noticed that, but you can't say the same for the bass player 😀
Stoned out 😆
Qué colocón!!! 😂😂😂 pero la IA nunca podrá igualarlo!!!
Hahaha I thought I was the only one that noticed he didn't blink for almost 5 minutes straight...ahhh, back in the day when good speed was great....
I was there.steve Winwood hit on me waving at me to come back stage in his All pink suit.i was so high on lsd I just wanted to keep dancing I under the moonlight.and that's what I did. Love you stevie*
Stoned out our minds!!
I was in the fifth row for this show! Caught Jim Capaldi’s tambourine when he heaved it into the audience! Still have it!
He's looks really lit.
Saw Stevie Winwood several years ago. 🥰 He didn’t disappoint!
Love this song,,,♥️,,,So Darn Groovy, His voice guitar playing is outta this world,,,GREAT!! I love his pretty-cool shirt too, he’s a handsome man.
ARE YOU SERIOUS ABSOLUTELY STEVE WIN WOOD TRAFFIC UNBELIEVABLE AWESOME ALBUM MISS THOSE TIMES
Just being alive listening to magical sounds was the best during those times in American history.🤠
One of my first intros into the world of true rock music at the age of 13…….awesome then, awesome now.
Love this so computers,synthethser, just talent no need fake back up😊
Hell yeah lost my friend of COVID three years ago Uncle Kevin. God.bless you.amem
Hey, Jim. Thanks for the good times.
I was 16 when I first heard this,still love it
How wonderful of them to give us their artistry. Every one of them. It's a wonder of living.
52. As a child i was always glued to the radio waiting for my these songs
So blessed that I grew up during this time.
It doesn't get any better than this.
Steve is a genius
Steve is feeling no pain! Love it!
