Here's one from Traffic that features really nice sound quality throughout, given the age of the performances.
The tracks I've included in this upload have apparently seen the light of day on 3 different Boots that I know of. They are a "no label" one that I got called "Freedom Rider"; "Empty Pages" on Oil Well Records; and "John Barleycorn" on Oh Boy!. The "John Barleycorn" boot included a couple of additional tracks. All these boots refer to London, 1973 as the "location and date", but given the material played, it's certainly earlier than 73, and most likely from the John Barleycorn era of live performances circa 1970.
I've included below, a description of the "Empty Pages" version of this boot thatI found on the winwoodfans.com/boot site. This definitely seems to describe this particular set of tracks in this torrent. The writer indicates that several of them came from BBC broadcasts. Not sure if the person who wrote these descriptions was 100% correct. I did not include the comments relating to the 2 tunes not included in the torrent.Thanks to whoever wrote this orginally:

" *John Barleycorn Must Die. Despite the CD sleeve cover, this track may or may not have been recorded in London. Then again it might be from the German gig(s), which constitute the Traffic on the Road album. Could even be the 1970 trio line up, who knows! Whatever, this track is almost as good a live version that you'll find but with one slightly enduring feature. Steve and Jim getting the words mixed up towards the end of the song, with a slight snigger in there too!

*Glad/Freedom Rider live. Again unknown as to where recorded. Sounds like the 3 piece line up though, or maybe augmented by Ric Grech, but it definitely ain't the 73 line up, that's clear. Anyway, it's not that bad. Steve up to par on organ on Glad. Freedom Rider, not bad. Chris Wood in excellent form on Flute and Sax. The sound recording of Steve's vocal distorts his voice slightly, but not enough to fail to enjoy.

*Every Mothers Son. Trio line up once again. Got a feeling that this and Glad/Freedom Rider are from BBC 1970 Radio recordings, might be wrong though. But it's not bad. Chris Wood on Electric Piano. Jim's drumming as steady as ever.

*Pearly Queen. BBC radio recording, 1968 line up I think, but might be 1970. Nice version this. Good guitar work by Steve.

*Empty Pages. BBC Radio recording 1970. Good version this. Nice Electric Piano solo. Not bad.

*Who Knows What Tomorrow May Bring. BBC Radio recording. Good to hear this in a live format. It's always been one of my favorite Traffic songs, although others will I'm sure disagree with me! Nice funky organ solo by Steve. Chris on form on Sax. Funky is definitely I think the word for this one.

*Medicated Goo. BBC radio recording 1970. Not bad but it doesn't really come across that well performed as a three piece, but worth hearing."
