@@DMBriffa Agreed, incredible tune. Written by two genius, played with numerous people that have their own categories. Just about every version is priceless. Later, Peace.
1 OF THE GREATESR SONGS EVER!!!!! This has been 1 of my very favs since the 70's & I 'm STILL LISTENING IN 2024!!!!! & I'm gonna keep om listening forever!!!!!
Turn it all the way up, sit back, close your eyes & breathe..........there is only one 'Low Spark' & only one Winwood/Capaldi. I've been listening to this song for 50 yrs & it's a song I never get tired of hearing. I used to turn it all the way up. lay on the floor with my head right next to my speakers & be taken to another place. I've got even louder speakers now & I think I'm gonna repeat that right now.....see ya on the other side.
um-um-um...very nice. Steve(ie) was ahead of his time....not just musically. This song perfectly describes (for me) what the 1%ers (Investment Bankers, Wall Street, Washington politicians, etc) did to the 99%ers when they crashed the economy, Again! Been listening to Clapton & Winwood (tour & Crossroads).....was worth waiting for these two to hook up, Again. They are incredible together.....Blind Faith was the best.....but these guys are even better together today. The chemistry is remarkable when they are in the zone, together. Not to be missed.
I'm giving you a thumbs up because we both love this music..❤❤.... the only thing that can be before its time is bread dough ........❤❤❤ maybe Trump was before his time.... a few years later he would be dead that would have been perfect timing
@@p1dru2art LOL. I just watched/listened to this rendition again. Um-um-um, Delicious. And it gets better with age! 😍 Thx for bringing me here. Makes me want to get high, I think I will, been a while. 🤩
It is a fantastic piece, one of the best of the 70s....and this is a magic interpretation.... but I miss a bit the uncertain but extremely expressionist sax of Chris.
totally agree, this guy is good and obviously knows what he s doing, but he doesn't come close tot the mystery that chris wood added to the sound of the band. I love your description of 'uncertain expressionist' playing
If you see something that looks like a star And it's shooting up out of the ground And your head is spinning from a loud guitar And you just can't escape from the sound Don't worry too much, it'll happen to you We were children once, playing with toys [Pre-Chorus 1] And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound Of the low spark of high-heeled boys [Chorus] The percentage you're paying is too high priced While you're living beyond all your means And the man in the suit has just bought a new car From the profit he's made on your dreams But today you just read that the man was shot dead By a gun that didn't make any noise But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest Was the low spark of high-heeled boys [Verse 2] If you had just a minute to breathe And they granted you one final wish Would you ask for something like another chance? Or something similar as this? Don't worry too much it'll happen to you As sure as your sorrows are joys [Pre-Chorus 2] And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound Of the low spark of high-heeled boys [Chorus] The percentage you're paying is too high priced While you're living beyond all your means And the man in the suit has just bought a new car From the profit he's made on your dreams But today you just read that the man was shot dead By a gun that didn't make any noise But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest Was the low spark of high-heeled boys, high-heeled boys You might also like Nobody Gets Me SZA Snooze SZA Used SZA [Saxophone Solo] [Piano Solo] [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] If I gave you everything that I owned And asked for nothing in return Would you do the same for me as I would for you? Or take me for a ride And strip me of everything including my pride But spirit is something that no one destroys [Outro] And the sound that I'm hearing is only the sound Of the low spark of high-heeled boys, heeled boys
It's done in th early seventies, after this album ... well,read This is the best England made in music ( The blues in Steve's voice. This band was so tight,even in there early years,Rebop,Chris Wood,Jim CAPALDI, man, all gone such wasted talent
The band wasn't underrated but Jim Capaldi sure was!! He wrote most of their music & this is a great example PS This is absolutely the best version of this I've ever heard 💕
@@rdzyne Agreed Jim Capaldi was a brilliant musician and songwriter, he was well respected as such, from many people here in 🇬🇧 UK Have you listened to the Traffic - Full Concert - Woodstock 94, it’s up on Jam & Psych on MV Channal That’s another excellent video of this line up.
@@Atom-56 I just finished watching the Gary Moore Tribute to Jim From 2007 on RUclips & loved it! 💕 I'm from Ohio USA & have grown up listening to Joe Walsh & Traffic since the 60's when it all got started! I'd like to give the UK 🇬🇧 a very special Thank you from way out in Southern California for your bring to life the music of Eva Cassidy which I can only describe as as that of an ANGEL I only became aware of her within the last couple days. Yeah! 24 years after her death. She was gone before ever getting started RIP
Jesus. I think the boys might have broken out " The Stash" for this one!!! The Saxophone player seems to be running through Midi to emulate that iconic organ.
Sadly both have passed. Wood around 1983 (liver failure) and Capaldi in the early 2000’s (stomach cancer). Just recently discovered Capaldi’s stripped down version of this song that sounds like it is from an Irish pub. Very endearing!
Mind bending musical talent Full contribution from all band members.. particularly sax, piano & drums That winwood voice telling a story written in collaberation with Jim Capaldi pure music sex
Good version but don't think Capaldi or Wood are there, saw the last tour before Wood died, he was a basket case, Jim was playing drums quite well, this ain't it
The Best song Winwood and Capaldi ever, today at My 70 , they are the Best 🇨🇱
The best era of music, and $12 would get you a ticket to experience it.
This is the best version I found
There has got to be someone doing amazing stuff like this now 8 billion people come on man.
I wish!!
the drum machine put an end to that--it's a shame
Doesn’t get much better than this.
Winwood and Capaldi wrote it. Winwood and Capaldi played it. Pure genius!
Isn't that pretty much how songwriting works in most cases? Lol, jk friend, I know what you mean!
The greatest ....
True. But what about Chris Wood's contribution to the original version?
@@DMBriffa
Agreed, incredible tune. Written by two genius, played with numerous people that have their own categories. Just about every version is priceless.

@@DMBriffa
He is very much missed.💔
Wow! Dankeschön für den Upload!!
Awesome perfomance
The percentage you're paying is too high priced... Classic music, tight band, wonderfully evocative lyrics. Yes, it doesn't get much better than this!
True classic.The voice of Steve is so penetrating .The version of the instrumentation was one of the best. This one will be forever.
One of the all time classic jams from 1971's Traffic album of the same title. After 44 years this song is still timeless.
amen i totally agree with you.
IT'S CALLED REAL MUSIC.
This from the last Traffic tour in '94 with Steve, Jim and their excellent latter day bass player Rosko Gee. Fabulous!
The best
Not only one of the greatest bluesy rock songs of all time; but erotic as hell..
You might even place this as Progressive Jazz...
FANTASTIC COMPOSITION !!!
Love Winwood's voice ! The sax....my God ! What a classic album with the opposite diagonal corners cut off.....very unique !
One of the best compositions ever, Steve's voice is still great, and this song is fantastic
Jeeeeez! This is fabulous! So sorely missed Jim Capaldi.😢. Bravo Stevie Winwood.!❤❤👌❣️

always one of my favorite bands....saw traffic in the early 70`s at the spectrum in phila. on the low spark tour...awsome concert
I am SOOOO jealous!!!!! LOL
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing!
Tremenda !💟
heartbreakingly wonderful at 3:33.....and then AGAIN at 9:02. WOW
This is from the Last Traffic Jam 1994, with Rosko, Randall, Mike, Walfredo, as well as Steve and Jim.
I don't buy many DVD's, I bought this one. This is a fantastic Traffic concert disk.
Where was this concert? Thanks.
guao. que vaina tan arrecha . cada toque es mas poderoso
Vraiment magnifique.Merci pour partage.
Fabulous!
thank you mr rag my bose are crying
It´s so great!!
Classic!
one of the best performances ever! Simply orgasmic, high class musicians
Many Years whitout no listen the Master classic from the 70 Ths. Guao!!!

Touche`
I remember trying to not get matter way carried away with this song_then I remembered this is Steve Winwood,one you cannot resist vocally ,no
This is what I'm talkin about!!!! Vintage rock~
Fantastic

Not one of the best but the best song. Breathtaking
Steve toca organo Hammond piano guitarra y canta como los Dioses. Junto a Jim hacen cosas geniales. Espiritu Traffic.
Brilliant
Mezcla de un sonido de blues y una voz que hace eco, grandes maestros indudablemente.
It is a fantastic piece, one of the best of the 70s....and this is a magic interpretation.... but I miss a bit the uncertain but extremely expressionist sax of Chris.
totally agree, this guy is good and obviously knows what he s doing, but he doesn't come close tot the mystery that chris wood added to the sound of the band. I love your description of 'uncertain expressionist' playing
So I'd say its the best version of this song UNTIL the sax solo. Steve's piano playing and piano solo is brilliant
If you see something that looks like a star
And it's shooting up out of the ground
And your head is spinning from a loud guitar
And you just can't escape from the sound
Don't worry too much, it'll happen to you
We were children once, playing with toys
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound
Of the low spark of high-heeled boys
[Chorus]
The percentage you're paying is too high priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams
But today you just read that the man was shot dead
By a gun that didn't make any noise
But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest
Was the low spark of high-heeled boys
[Verse 2]
If you had just a minute to breathe
And they granted you one final wish
Would you ask for something like another chance?
Or something similar as this?
Don't worry too much it'll happen to you
As sure as your sorrows are joys
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound
Of the low spark of high-heeled boys
[Chorus]
The percentage you're paying is too high priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams
But today you just read that the man was shot dead
By a gun that didn't make any noise
But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest
Was the low spark of high-heeled boys, high-heeled boys

And the sound that I'm hearing is only the sound
Of the low spark of high-heeled boys, heeled boys

@@roellassche1403 why is jim capaldi tagged as wasted talent? he was quite prolific in his solo music too!
Great, no comments about this incredible band being under rated.

música suave muy agradable
One of my favorite songs probably the highpoint of Yraffucs work. Jim Gordon came up withe original drum part. It's really brilliant
Best performance of this song ever!
wow
Jesus. I think the boys
might have broken out
" The Stash" for this one!!!
The Saxophone player seems to be running through Midi to emulate that iconic organ.
I ALWAYS WANTED BOOTS LIKE FREDS.
☺👍👀💃🎵
Some Heavy Traffic I Am In.
There is a HD versión of this video?
This is a fantastic version indeed, but I miss Chris. Nobody played the sax like Chris.
Ya no sale este tipo de musica!! 🤷🏽♂️
Album title track - I paid a fair price for it in 1971.
Where's Chris Wood? We miss him and also...what's doing Capaldi this time? Is he playng anything?
Sadly both have passed. Wood around 1983 (liver failure) and Capaldi in the early 2000’s (stomach cancer). Just recently discovered Capaldi’s stripped down version of this song that sounds like it is from an Irish pub. Very endearing!
In this video I see Capaldi doing some heavy duty percussion, probably also incisive backup vocals. He was a genius.
When was this recorded ?
1994 from when Traffic briefly re-formed.
I think it was done in the late 80's or early 90's
early seventies dude
File'!
Omg....what's happening....
malo si pogrijesio
Mind bending musical talent
Full contribution from all band members.. particularly sax, piano & drums
That winwood voice telling a story written in collaberation with Jim Capaldi pure music sex
Too bad Randall Bramblett never played on any of Traffic's studio albums.
They had Chris Wood, so no need.
Good version but don't think Capaldi or Wood are there, saw the last tour before
Wood died, he was a basket case, Jim was playing drums quite well, this ain't it
una obra maestra por un genio como lo es steve winwood su sello personal lo dice todo cuando de musica se trata quedas atrapado en en su magia musical
