him in time for him to sing it. Recordings A live rendition of the song is the opening track on Traffic's only concert video, which was recorded at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica, California on 21 February 1972, with the lineup of Winwood, Capaldi, Wood, Rebop Kwaku Baah (percussion), David Hood (bass), and Roger Hawkins (drums). Another live recording with the same lineup plus extra keyboardist Barry Beckett appears on the album On the Road. An alternate studio version of the song is available on the 2010 retrospective Revolutions – The Very Best of Steve Winwood, both on the single disc and box set releases. The Revolutions version has a slightly longer running time of 12:26 as well as different solo arrangements relative to the original album recording. In 2022, Winwood promoted on YouTube the release of its parent album in Dolby Atmos format with a solo rendition of the title song on piano. In addition to being performed solo by both Capaldi and Winwood after the breakup of Traffic, the song has been covered by Rickie Lee Jones, Widespread Panic, The Dead, Phil Lesh and Friends, and EMF among others.
