It's 2021... Some are in chaos, but I'm back in 1971, 11 years old and working on Jeeps in the garage with my dad listening to Traffic. He turned me on to so much great music. RIP Pops...
I graduated H.S.in 70 music was so fine my son who just turned 31 still listens to stuff I did in his young years and guess what he also calls me POP'S makes me proud as I am of him. Hope you have been blessed with a son that loves you like you do your pops
You go POPS
@@larryh.4629 Being a mom.. I would pick up my kids.. On the hip.. When music was playing on the stereo.... We would dance to 'Floyd'... And any and all rock when they started to walk... Holding tiny hands in my hands as we swayed and just letting go a step at a time. All to rock... I did my grand kids the same way... :-) good memories!!
Thinking about you and your lost Pops. Stay strong.
All too soon the years fly by...
It's worth being older now, to have been young then.
As long as UR on the right side of the lawn, its all good......
especially live, nothing better
Bang on!
So true
Amen brother.
Yeshua lives!
Traffic was a band that wouldn't take the back seat to any group. Very underrated
Underrated by whom? Not by me for sure. One of the best band Ever
He was "Little Stevie Winwood" when "Blind Faith" hit the music scene.. Hail, Hail for the many years of Steve Winwood entertaining his fans, older like I am or you younger fans!
Reading all these comments I realize I'm in good company! Would love to party and rock out with everyone!! Rock will never die!!!🤘🏻
Ban the word ‘underrated’. Almost every great musician has someone saying they’re underrated: I would bet that it has more to do with the he psychology of the commenter than that being commented upon.
@@bustermot Are you kidding?
Dear Mr Winwood play us a tune, something to make us all happy.
Winwood's got it all: the voice, the keyboard skills, and he's also a phenomenal guitar player. He's been given great gifts that fortunately we get to enjoy.
But if he HAD to marry an American, why couldn't it have been me?!?
@@susanrobinson-browning4687 HAHA. i'm sure you're one of many American girls/women who had a mega crush on Steve!
I could not have said it better! I name Stevie the greatest musician of this whole era! Sitting at the piano in a white tea shirt. Hey folks! Don't look at me. Listen to the music. Thank you!
@@susanrobinson-browning4687 But they had a daughter with an amazing voice.
@@hkrunner2093
THAT I didn't know! I'll check it out! Thanks!
For those unfortunate souls born all too recently...….This is what good music sounds like.
Great music
I feel so privileged to have been born in time to remember what it was like living through it all ❗
Truth is, 99% of great music has already been composed, performed, and recorded by the time you are born. The key... is to seek it out.
Can I get an amen to that?
And for those of you who don't have oldmanitis, check out Arriving Somewhere Not Here by Porcupine Tree, Second Life Syndrome by Riverside and The Underfall Yard by Big Big Train. Great rock music isn't dead; it just isn't on American radio any more.
75 years old, and I have been enjoying Steve's music since the Spencer Davis group. Amazing vocalist and instrumentalist.
listening since radio luxenburg
Mber bits ..great . ☮️🌠
Yep.
Singing "I'm a Man" at age 15!
He sounds studio when he is live!Incredible!!❤❤❤❤❤
I discovered Winwood in Blind Faith and i cried that Blind Faith was so short-lived. Can't Find My Way Home is one of my all time favs. But Traffic saved me. Winwood is a total class act and an extraordinary musician, everybody wants to play with him which is a testimony to the person he is. He also brings back the days of my youth when There was infinite possibility and no fear. What a generational talent.
I just t Learned how to play the melody of can't find my way back home on guitar
Infinite possibilities, no fear and a certainty that all things would get better and better! How disappointing the latter has turned out to be!
@@stewartw.9151 Well, I'm 68 tomorrow and at least we have it a shot. A huge group of people worked hard to try and be kinder and a little more open to change.
We still have a radio station in town modeled on the old, "play anything good no matter the genre". Both old and new bands. Classic, current, hip-hop jazz, big band. It doesn't matter. If it's good, the dj susses it out and plays it. It reminds me of our old radio stations. Everyone was exposed to all music. It was truly a gift.
@@lilibetmargaret Happy Birthday Lillibetmargaret!
@@stewartw.9151 Wow.. Thank you. Sorry I missed this nice surprise!
I remember smoking a joint, putting on a pair of headphones, and disappearing from the face of earth for about 10 minutes while listening to this song back in the day
KOSS if I remember.
SAME....
Koss fluid filled
The 1st time I heard it I was eating black beauties. Far out, Man
I liked Traffic then and now
GOTTA BE ONE OF THE BEST SONGS OF ALL TIME
The shortest 11 minutes and 39 seconds ever, for sure....
I just built a 6B4G single ended , direct coupled tube amp. It is so detailed that with high efficiency speakers, on this track, I can hear speaking in between verses, deep in the background. Wonder if anyone else ever noticed this. It's like a ghost track.
Oh, top 10. For sure. Pure.
georgemarsone -in the same class as “in memory of Elizabeth reed.” 2 of rock’s greatest songs.
Agreed
When I've been in the Garage working on my Road Runner, my children walk by and hear this music and other great groups and wonder what world I'm living in. They will never know the pleasures of the 60's and 70's. I still live in the memories .
I'm right with you Rene, a young teen in the 60's, and as great as it was all I would hear is watch what the future will hold ,so if that is the case and here we are in the " future" why is it that we would so love to go back. Those were the last of the best times.
@@dereksanderson5765 - Where are the flying cars? What kind of future doesn't have flying cars, for crying out loud!
I play things like this from RUclips all the time and my kids get into the music and start dancing and rocking out. It's just cool to see and to share music I listened to growing up from my mom's music collection.
I had a 69 charger. They will never know.
The best memories of my “life”!!🤓
Spencer Davis, Cream, Blind Faith, Traffic never will be repeated. Awesome music, Awesome Talent ! Love listening to all of it !
Yes 🎶🎸 I would have enjoyed a little longer run with Winwood Clapton Baker and Gretch... Blind Faith ; Amazing🎶🎶

Winwood was a prodigy. Gimme some Lovin at 18 years old is genius.
Me too 💙💙💙
😇And God bless you isn't he a good singer I've been following them too since I've been 13 and I'll be 70 this Veterans Day I think he's the most awesome singer and has not lost a beat or tune ✝️ God bless him stay healthy Stevie Winwood God bless you we love you not as much as 🛐 God but we love you ❤
I'm right there with you but I'm a couple of digits more than you I'll be 70 Veterans Day he stole my heart at 13 and Mick Jagger
He played with so many bands,extraordinary song writer and musician!@@
I'm 75 and have a recording of this for my bike, my truck and my home, I LOVE Winwood, Traffic, Blind Faith. We grew up at a phenomenal time to experience this magic!
When music was real music. People actually sing and played real instruments.
Check out "Ravi Shankar at Woodstock" -- real people playing real instruments -- for SURE !
hmm... It's still amplified music, electric guitar, the organ itself is an electronic instrument, mixer to bring you the sound quality of a studio etc... it's all electronics :>) Stop being an old fart hahaha...
@@MarquisVonLion stop being an idiot
@@PhukIT1865 i second that
@@MarquisVonLion Pretty sure she's referring to autotune, drum machines, etc. Technology to enhance the instruments is fine; tech to replace them is garbage.
With real instruments! No auto-tune, no pre-recorded backgrounds. Real talent.
Do you have any idea how tedious you sound?
Yes, real talent. At 82 yrs. I enjoy this melody and all of their work put into it. This gets me moving.💥😉👍
@@MD-fu6ly irrelevant comment much?
YesYOURS is!
Great music!!!!!
Best Traffic Jam I have ever been caught up in...
Born in Northern California in 1954. I was so primed for this. Stoked, toked, on fire dancing. You just had to be there...a time like no other. Magical.
This song transports me back to wonderful events that took place “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away”.
Isn’t that the truth! Oh how I miss those days ..................
“a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away”, a disc jockey, Mort Fega, said "Difference of opinion is what makes horse racing".

@@marioblocky6335 'S'? What does that mean?
Takes me to an unforgettable moment in my life. Love it!!
I had the special pleasure of working with Steve on the High Life US tour. What a class act! Hearing him and Eugenie talk about anything at crew meal was hysteric. He was the only artist who ever delivered tour bonuses personally and I've worked for far more prosperous bands. A class act!
Nice,please tell us more. I think there is a book there.
@@blueshirtman8875 ha ha. I spent 23 years as a touring tech, mostly sound but occasional lighting shows. I've worked for Prince, AC/DC, Motley Crue, Metallica, Deep Purple, Chicago, Lionel Richie, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams Jr, Glen Campbell, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Alabama, U-2, the Rolling Stones, Atlanta Rhythm Section, and about 150 more. I have about 8 videos on my channel about concert production, working with bands, and other tour topics. For the more spicy stuff, check out Fred Sander's book on being head of security on Motley Crue. I'm an old guy, I go back to Flatt and Scruggs but Winwood was one of the most pleasant tours of my life. Best Regardz, if you find yourself in Thailand, I'll buy you a coffee or the adult beverage of your choice.
@@topixfromthetropix1674 write a book,it sounds like you lead an interesting life. Thanks for the offer of a beer.
Thanks for sharing the memories. Unfortunately, memories may have to sustain us for quite a while.
That's really neat!!!
"The low spark of high heeled boys" has to be the most mysterious, cryptic, and impenetrably complex lyric ever uttered in a song. And it doesn't matter. The song is sensational. Just look at the size of that crowd, in the rain no less. Cheers
Forty Thousand Headmen is pretty mysterious and cryptic as well. Winwood et.al. are in a class by themselves!

Great show I went to the last 2 Woodstock's
It is all about disco !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@deanmyers9889 Diamond David Lee Roth in Hot For Teacher.
one of the most beautiful pieces in rock history
Just to be clear, his arc of a diver is an incredible album, that he made 20 years later. He’s a timeless man
Arc of a diver was the album my husband and I used to listen to every Friday afternoon, work week done, time to grill a steak and have a few beers. He's been gone almost 7 years now, but hearing any song from Arc of a Diver brings back wonderful memories ❤
Yes, he is timeless! How many rockers can sustain with new and "good" music after their day in the sun? Most rehash their old tried and true songs.
Yes arc of the diver I great❤ I have many memories of that in Marin County, California
Arc of a Diver is incredible.
So is John Barley Corn.
One of the best songs ever by one of the most talented singers, song writers, performers.
This song is just the ultimate jam
THE BASS PLAYER IS A MONSTER....KEEPS THE WHOLE SONG MOVING FORWARD WITH EASE.
Rosko Gee is his name. He was in Traffic when I saw him in 1974 and
In 1994
Roscoe is a tremendous bass player. He is also on the GO album with Steve Winwood and Stomu Yamasta.
I was thinking that too, well each one's got a special something....
Rosko Gee did some great work with CAN as well
RIP, my brother Steve, who turned me on to all the greatest music/musicians back in the day. And never gave me hell for going into his room, or playing his albums without asking first. He was the best brother. Gone way too fucking soon.

Traffic forever remains a timeless classic rock band mixed with jazz and other genres!! Steve Winwood is still going strong today!! RIP Jim Capaldi, who will forever be missed!!
Jimmy was a great bloke... Had the pleasure of spending a few weeks with him in Portugal the year before he was sadly taken..
Traffic was able to seamlessly fuse progressive rock and jazz. Hence, they were ahead of their time. Traffic is an underrated band, that never got their just dues.
@@smoky3132 Without question!!!
Saw Dave Mason with Steve Miller
MASON MADE Miller look bad.
@@smoky3132 intelligently well-put
Being with friends and dancing in high school . in 2022 dancing with friends , it’s the same joy . Love this song ..hey I am 65 ..wow
Love that Steve Winwood voice! I’ve listened to it for 50 years and still can’t hear it enough!
Places are gone; people are gone; but the music lives on. Thanks to the internet.
IT is in us!
This song is pure genius and so far ahead of its time
I have to disagree with you, I think it was a great piece of the time, mellow, then a groove, mellow again
Saw Traffic live in Austin when the John Barleycorn album came out. Winwood played piano, a Hammond B3, while singing and playing the bass line on the organ foot pedals all at the same time. This guy is one the greatest ever.
This is an artist I wish I had seen and I’ve seen a lot. I’m still looking to see if he’s got anything coming up and I will continue. 💕
Mesmerizing! Transcendently beautiful! Thank God for the recordings, this is never to be repeated artistry and musicianship!
Long live Rock!
Is rock alive . Hasn't been a rock song recorded since Greg Allman died years ago.
@@jimmyfumbanks6081 WOW listen to Dirty Honey, Goodbye June Or Greta Van-fleet you will truly be shocked
Woodstock blew the world away as did all the great musicians who attended and played. What a classic historical event.
The Spirit Lives On . . . Hey kids, this is music.
Me too ! Goosebumps still, I'm 63. Steve Winwood is one of the best musicians ever. He's been in different groups and did amazing solo stuff. Everything he's done is stellar!
I'm 51 and of course I've heard the song before but it wasn't until this year that I realized what a musical genius Steve Winwood is... this song is an absolutely wonderful masterpiece
Wilfredo Reyes Jr. on Drums.
Great job. A very versatile and talented percussionist. Incredible Drum work on this Traffic tour.
Born in '54. Still mesmerized by that song. Incredible performance.
I loved this song the first time I listened to it 50 years ago, and today as an old man it is the best! Steve Win wood shreds
@Patrick Mutton 💯🤘
That means you Rock x 100, 😎 Me too.
☮️ Brother
@@seaangelable I wore out the vinyl and a couple 8 tracks of this great album . Sounds just as good 50+ yrs. later !
The scope of Steve Winward’s talent is unmistakable, unmatched and unmeasurable.
Jim Capaldi was such a great and underrated drummer. RIP Jim and Chris.
By whom?
He’s playing congas and not the drums.
And lyricist.
@@rickdclareClare My comment was directed to Capaldi's skill in general, not this specific performance.
I feel so fortunate that I was able to see this band live once in my life. Chicago 1974, and I will never forget it. I’ve seen Winwood several times since and he performs both Traffic and Blind Faith songs. Incredible musician, songwriter, singer. Always been a favorite of mine.
I think that what made this era's music so great was that the influence of the previous decades of Jazz's dominance still came through. Music was a tapestry - not flat like recent decades.
Very very true!
You're so boring
Stevie burst out playing in bands when he was only 15.
About 5 years later, critics were calling him a prodigy.
Appears they were Correct....
Left school - joined the Spencer Davis Group! Careers guidance?
I was one of the lucky ones who were at the three-day show. The Allman Brothers and Traffic played on the third day, one after the other. The grounds were a muddy mess. But pure magic enchanted and filled the atmosphere with an elixir of healing wizard sounds. This song was one of the highlights of the event.
Wow! You were there!! I was too young and lived in Wisconsin but I was always into music. I was in awe of this moment in history. I actually interviewed Melanie Safka in Philadelphia when I moved there and had a radio station and show for awhile 10 yrs
as best sunday of my life
This was some of the good music that kept us mellow in the 70s. Shame they don't jam like this anymore...
A lot of folks don’t realize what a great guitarist Steve Winwood is-talk about talent. Great voice, great keyboardist, and a history with some of the world’s greatest musicians. Whew!
I love the "On The Road" album, and it's all him playing guitar, when there's guitar. So good.
Sitting in dark dorm room, burning a doobie and soaking up this song, as soon as this song started it took me right back there, love it.
Haven’t heard that song in 40 years. Still sounds good.
Only a very few come along in each generation. Winwood is a musical giant of his.
In Houston, fall 1971, while going to Rice University some 900 miles from home, I took a beautiful girl, a great friend of mine, to a concert: Fairport Convention; J Geils Band; Traffic. Unbelievable! Mellow, then R&R, then mellow. Peaced out, by the time we were back within the Hedges. This music triggered that deep satisfaction, so that all I needed or wanted was to sit on the couch and lovingly kiss her, my friend Kelly. Nothing was missing. Being a Hammond guy myself, a freshman, I did Find My Way Home.
Maybe that’s the year they played at Loyola in New Orleans…? Good times
I went to Pasta University. Also, if there's Fairport, then where's Unfairport?
The groove in this song transports you to another dimension.
It does! If you go along for the ride.
That's music for you, when the muse is romping the folks get stomping.
And it did. My highest, happiest times, a long, long time ago.
Steve can play the piano, guitar, syth and sing, Great mixture of rock and jazz. Sax was epic.
When music had adventure, style and dedicated to the social change that was inevitable and well needed. Have been lucky enough to see Traffic and Steve Winwood. Make it real. You have no idea of the power cohesive changes made with like minded people come together they are sick of the old and want change. Real talent for real people. And I’d do all again.
Winwood always sounded as good if not better live than recorded.
Jim Jones I love his voice, he can do no wrong.
@@SKYDRIVER3060 This is singing!
Not the shit we hear currently,.
Most bands don't. It's true talent that wins live. I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd live just before the plane accident. They were WAY better than their albums, which were quite good.
Indeed...
Alright
Winwood looks younger than 20 years previously, and plays even better. Capaldi is genius, as always, one would never expect less. Bramblett's sax solo is "einmalig", unique, irreplaceable, irreducible, unreproducible.
If they granted me one final wish it would be to listen to this. Of course people are dancing! They couldn't put a band together today that sounds like this. No computers just talent!
The bass line is timeless, as is the whole song
one of the greatest bands ever...still GREAT MUSIC that don't get old.
Gerald Gerardi John Barleycorn, Low Spark and Shootout are true classic albums!
Don't forget Mr. Fantasy, Traffic and Last Exit!
Gerald Gerardi p ko
Gets me every time this song, no matter how many years between listenings. These fellas do it to me every single time. Winwood such a consumate musician and man, what a voice whoa! Never heard such an amazing sax solo in my life!
Best Sax Player I've Ever Heard! It never gets old!
probably the best live performance of this song ever......
Indeed……this is ((beyond beyond))…..yet, his 2022 solo performance of ‘Low Spark…’ is absolutely amazing . If you haven’t, be sure and check it out also. I listen to them side x side to each other; just a-little Winwood OD - 😉
An incredible ride, Traffic . . . this song is, amazingly, so late in their career, one of the best.
I owned this LP and wore it out...it's Sept 2020 I live in NH USA..
Loved this song since High School, and I'm old now. LOL.
I figure when I get to the nursing home ( I am now 70 ) I will get a chance to share Traffic with a new generation of listeners being the young staff members. Hey I smell reefer ?!!!

What happened was hip-hop GARBAGE where totally talentless "musicians" made albums with 12-14 tunes that were all based off of ONE basic computerized drum track. Trash. You get OUT what you put IN. Many of these rap albums used ZERO real musicians, but only used samples of other accomplished artists, then plagiarizing the beat and overall sounds. That is because this industry is EVIL and has no regard for ethics or quality.
We were/are blessed indeed, Rock And Roll will never die!
That was a really fantastic version of the classic low spark of high heeled boys I'm sure everyone agrees with that because the song will live forever
I saw Traffic in the early 70’s in Reno. I’ve seen a few concerts back in the day, but wow, it was mesmerizing. They did the whole album. It was unforgettable.
The timing on the drums for this are half of what makes the song so good.
Excellent percussion has always been a hallmark of Traffic's greatness and importance.
he pretty much got the record groove here yes indeed and yes its so important
Yep...
Absolutely. This performance stands tall. No compromises, great music. Great mix also
Walfredo Reyes Jr , currently playing for Chicago, laying down the drums here. So damn solid and dynamic. One of the best to do it.
I've never seen him put out a bad piece of music yet, what talent !
Saw him at Red Rocks, Oct '14 in a rainstorm. Then the riots canceled his show in Baltimore 4/15. Then it poured yesterday before we saw him in Baltimore (4/25/17). Now a hailstorm!? Beginning to wonder . . . he's appearing in DC 5/6, I think . . . hmmmmm. . . IMHO, one can never see Steve Winwood enough .... weather or not.
One of the truly genius songs performed by a true GENIUS !
Lots of memories of this song driving around in a friend's old 57 Chevy wagon he bought off and old man, driving around smoking pot in the 70's
steve winwood one of the greatest voices ever!
I grew up with traffic soooooo good@$#%&*
I have to throw in Tommy Shaw and CTO ruclips.net/video/xpYHgbjOIq0/видео.html
He his foundation was Ray Charles !!
Absolutely....and a better groove than Miles Davis .....
No...Steve Marriott is the GOAT!
Steve Winwood's piano solo is so evocative of The Doors 'Riders on the storm' piano section. Both fantastic!
How frickin' fabulous is this!!!
Steve Winwood and Traffic were a gift from God. So good to see Mr. Capaldi there. Kinda funny to see them so far removed from the 70's but all that soul. Good lord. This is magical music.
*What a great recording of this old classic from the early '70s. Considering the antiquity of this recording, you've done a great job preserving it in both audio and video sound and vision. Thank you, this is as good as it gets for this old piece of classic rock and roll at its best. This brings back to memory and many flashbacks of my mid teens, playing low spark of the high-heeled boys endlessly!*
I got this album when I was seventeen years old and enjoyed every song on it is really a good album Low Spark of High Heeled Boys
I was at this show- one of the best highlights of my life, even 30 years later. 16 years old sneaking up there with my cousin and best friend for a weekend of acid and great music....take me back!!!
You may flash back . It happens.
Am 73 now and Still waiting for my promised flashbacks. No more purple microdot on this planet!
...what a perfomance !!!! BASS AND DRUMS connects the whole meaning of the piano and vocals...sax is outstanding and Capaldi gives everything he gots....Sound is perfect ...i can hear it 10 times in a raw...Wish a was there...
Love this song so much. I sang it to my daughters as a lullaby. I know, right?!
Steve is a musical god 💓him so much. Noone compares to him. Wish i had gt to b at 1 of his concerts😳
As soon as this sh*t is over, you still can. He's neverstopped touring. I plan to, when he starts up, again....
this song was destined to be a forever classic when the first verse was scrabbled into a notebook....it's heritage and lineage of contributing minds would settle for nothing less.. thanks for sharing
It’s been in my playlist from day one. Trippy stuff.
My very first concert 1974 was Traffic!
Saw Winwood a few yrs ago in concert, he played EVERYTHING! He even had some Traffic tshirts for sale.
what a band....always loved Traffic! What a song!
The way this builds and then ebbs and flows is magical. Never gets old!
We were so blessed with such beautiful music like this, right??!!!!!!!!!!!
RIGHT!
Abso-fuckin-lutely!
Amazing sound mix on this 👍✨
I too wore this LP out b4 high school each morning 1970s so fortunate to have lived when real music was alive.
The most understated and unassuming rock stars, Traffic were fantastic, shame no Chris Wood here , Steve as always a fabulous voice from a fellow Brummie
AMEN!! Ahh, for the days when we were young once- and were listening to quality music like this.
So glad my oldest brother played this on our way from MI. To Missouri, 10 years older than me,I will forever love this .Haven't seen him in so long,so I play this.
Stevie Winwood's a musical Arrangement genius
One of my top 5 all time favourite albums is "Traffic On the Road" a double album in UK, recorded live in 1973. Even today it transports me somewhere sublime (especially the guitar on Sometimes I feel So Uninspired) .
I was lucky to be there with my dad that day. This song was a highlight. 🎸🔥
May 2021 listening to this song puts me in back in college 1970's living the experience! Great song, great time & great friends!
