The Last Great Traffic Jam is a live album and DVD from the rock band Traffic. The album was recorded from the 1994 Traffic reunion concert tour.
Em 29 de novembro de 2002, um ano após sua morte, um concerto de homenagem a George Harrison foi realizado no Royal Albert Hall. Amigos e familiares se reuniram para tocar suas músicas, e era uma lista impressionante, embora previsível: Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Tom Petty e Eric Clapton, que também atuou como diretor musical, ocupou o centro do palco, mas o filho de George Dhani Harrison também estava lá, assim como a filha de Ravi Shankar, Anoushka, o antigo rock & roll britânico Joe Brown e Gary Brooker. Ao contrário de muitos lineups de estrelas, todos tinham uma conexão pessoal próxima com George.
Traffic left behind precious few concert videos in any form, so this show, from the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, is an intrinsically valuable document of the band, even though it does feature a later lineup: Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, Chris Wood, Rebop Kwakubaah, Roger Hawkins, and David Hood. Chronologically, the show comes roughly a year later than the Welcome to the Canteen album. There are some many wonderful shots of the band members from varied angles and all kinds of different lighting, even within the same song, courtesy of video producer Taylor Hackford (White Nights, Against All Odds) but, in fact, this wasn't the ideal version of the group to capture on stage: Winwood had suffered a serious illness the year before, the group was always in a state of flux as far as its line-up was concerned, and they were entering the period of decline that would coincide with the recording of Shootout at the Fantasy Factory.
Midsummer Rock is a television program based on the Cincinnati Pop Festival. The 90-minute TV version featured Alice Cooper, Mountain, Grand Funk Railroad, The Stooges, and Traffic.
