The British original. Welcome to the Canteen is the first live album by the English rock band Traffic . It was recorded live at the Fairfield Halls, (Croydon), at the Oz Charity Concert in London, July 1971 and released in September of the same year. In the UK, the album did not chart. In the US, however, it was a solid success, reaching number 26 on the charts and losing to the single "Gimme Some Lovin' (live)", which reached number 68 on the Billboard Hot 100 . Although it is considered a Traffic album, it was originally released without the title "Traffic"; instead, seven individual musicians are listed.
