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.

Love this song. Look at Steve W’s eyeballs in the closeup shots. So much weed. So very, very much weed. The amount of weed that legends, nightmares, and the sweetest dreams are made of. What I’m sayin’ is… dude is high as he-ail!

I was 16, living in Santa Monica and snuck into this show. (If a band played the Civic between 1972 and 1984, I probably saw it.)This impressionable teenager was absolutely mesmerized by the Traffic jams. Fully hypnotized without swallowing, smoking or snorting anything. I'm pretty sure Steve couldn't say the same thing... eyes like saucers. After seeing this show, I spent my paper route money on every Traffic LP I could find... and continued doing so. What a tight, improv psych rock band. And IMHO, everyone can f*** the Hall of Fame. These guys are in Valhalla. Edit: PRODUCED BY TAYLOR HACKFORD??? ARE YOU FRIGGIN KIDDING ME. No wonder it was so good for 1972. Seven years later, he's doing the brilliant but exceptionally underrated "The Idolmaker," (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if only to watch Ray Sharkey), then on to "Officer/Gentleman", THEN Against All Odds. I had no idea he cut his teeth with films like this. Explains why this comes off as so magnificiently. I feel honored just to say "Thank you, Mr Capaldi!"

I was 12 at that time and the exact opposite of you. I was living in Detroit Michigan and my eyes looked like his. Thank God I went into the army at 18 and they fixed me, no more drugs.

Beautiful. Brings back memories. Hot nights inside and outside of your house. Don Kirshner. Low dim street lights. Barefoot. Pinball. Seeing people with hair to their ankles. Sid and Marty croft. Good music. 7/11. Great TV until 12 midnight and Walter conkrite.

I saw Black Sabbath and Traffic together In Seattle in 1976 .One of the last Sabbath shows. Traffic has always been great .As was all of the bands from the 60,s and 70,s it was real vocals and music unlike the last 40 years they were real musicians miss those days.

Think about this fact of rock- Winwood at this point had already cemented himself as a member of 3 hall of fame rock bands-and his solo career was 5 years on down the line...AND HE WAS ONLY 25 YEARS OLD...Need i say more?
