Traffic: Rainbow Theatre, London
Tony Stewart, NME, 21 April 1973
DEAR MR. FANTASY played us some tunes, something that made us all happy. No, it was more than that. All of us at the London Rainbow on Thursday were completely enveloped with the splendid musical creations of Traffic. It was a glorious day for rock.
