Yes to all everyone has said - I'm a Traffic fan since they were together (1967 - 75) & Capaldi was a great stylist on drums & a nice vocalist & co wrote most of Traffic's material (except a few Dave Mason songs) - also he appeared on Eric Clapton's Rainbow Concert album (I prefer the original, before Jon Astley cut some songs in half) w/Winwood, Pete Townshend, & Ron Wood) - and his first couple of solo albums are cool too. RIP another recently deceased great drummer, Jefferson Airplane's Spencer Dryden, their 2nd drummer (of 4) during their 1966 - 70 prime.
