We are pleased to offer this original Traffic poster from the UK for the FIRST TIME in our auction! In late 1968 Traffic featuring Steve Winwood temporarily disbanded. Guitarist Dave Mason left the group and in 1969 Winwood joined the supergroup “Blind Faith”. Winwood and Traffic reunited in 1970 to release the critically acclaimed album “John Barleycorn Must Die” which re-launched their career. 


The band would continue to release albums and tour through the next 4 years. They disbanded again in late 1974 a few months after this concert at the University of Essex in England and would not perform again until 1992 opening for the Grateful Dead. This ultra-rare 1974 poster is a 100% Original Pre-Concert First Printing with no restoration!
