1971"Welcome to the Canteen" is an
album by English rock band Traffic. It was recorded live atFairfield Halls ,Croydon and the Oz Benefit Concert,London , July 1971 and released in September of that year. It was recorded duringDave Mason 's third stint with the band, which lasted only six performances.The tracklist includes one song each from the first three Traffic albums; two songs from Mason's first solo album, "Alone Together"; and
Gimme Some Lovin' from Winwood's former band, theSpencer Davis Group .For some reason the album was originally released without the name "Traffic" anywhere on it; instead it was credited to the seven individual musicians. Nonetheless the Traffic logo appeared on the cover (on the back, in this case) as on all of their albums.
