It's about the record company executives and how they rip off the artist.
One of the best songs of that decade. Glad you liked it! 👍❤🤙
Ye tried to tell us.
According to the drummer Jim Capaldi the title came from actor Michael J Pollard. Low Spark might mean swag today. High Heeled Boys is in reference to the platform shoes that many people including myself wore back in the 70s
Yeah, I remember those shoes. And yes, it was Chris Wood on sax. I remember he played through some kind of electronic gizmo to give it that sound. Lastly, I prefer the live version of this song from the "On The Road" album. It's about 7 minutes longer but well worth the trip.
Warning ! Music ( journeys ) of this era, ilk are ' expanding' to humans
Actually, high-heeled refers to not just the shoes but well monied people with influence and power like the record company execs, who wore the shoes and clothes to appear hip.
Although Traffic's original Drummer, Capaldi does not play Drums on the "Low Spark...", rather it is legendary and tragic Drum legend Jim Gordon.
Song still gives me the chills!
Many a spliff was bogarted because of this song!!!
Lol✌️
Like right now 💨
This song is like Melchizedek, no beginning no ending it is a perpetual song, it’s been playing nonstop in my head for about 50 years now.
Yep, they tapped into a vein of the Eternal with this. London Pheromonic Orchestra.
That was Chris Wood on saxophone.
( also flute on some of their songs)
He was incredible.
Listen to their song, "Glad" or "Tragic Magic" to hear more of Chris Wood, using a wah pedal with his saxophone...
Amazing song, great reaction on your part. I noticed you vacillating between confusion and wonder for your first listen, which is how many of us first reacted to it as well.
One word: Rainmaker. Cheers!
@@naturalverities another great song!!
Down the traffic rabbit hole
Love me some TRAFFIC! Next check out Mr. Fantasy. This band has such great musicians. Anything with Steve Winwood is always A list
When this song came out everyone was wearing boots or platform shoes. With platforms it wasn't just the heel but the soul had two to three inches of height as well. Low spark, no ambition.
The very first time I heard this song was in class. Someone had a boombox. Well okay it was just a AMFM stereo. As class was starting the announcer said he was playing a new song from traffic.
No sooner did he shut the radio off the teacher was yelling to turn it back on and turn it up so everyone could hear. oh yeah.
The great Steve Winwood is so underrated - This is Traffic's Starship Trooper or RUSH's 2112. I love Steve Winwood's video sitting fireside singing by himself and a guitar doing his old Blind Faith songs John Barleycorn must die and Can't find my way home. Talk about stripped down to the basics but so damn good!!! His singing is on my mount rushmore for guys.
Hey Pope! You doing OK? TRAFFIC! Great Great song! You know what to do.🔈🔉🔊🎷🎹🎷🎹🎷🎹🎷🎹😎
Empty Pages, Glad, Rainmaker - you'll be glad you did. Steve Winwood is my favorite artist and Traffic is my favorite Steve Winwood era
One of the best classic Rock song of all time!
TRAFFIC, "LOW SPARK OF HIGH HEELED BOYS". Truly one of the most Funkiest, Groovy, Iconic songs ever. 🎵 Top Ten in my thoughts 🎶. When music was just that.more... "ROCK AND ROLL STEW", "LIGHT UP, OR LEAVE ME ALONE ".
a bag of sound...enter the chill zone grove!
This song was always such a vibe!
Us old folks, me 60 yr old white, who had to buy the album to hear it, snuck away from our folks, lit up a 70s joint, and turned this on to 11. This was astronomical if you were high and wish you tried to be who you were.
I have this album on vinyl, a classic
you are so patient listening to all kinds of music and unjudgemental🙏❤️
Steve Winwood a legend, watch him with The Spencer Davis group doing Nobody knows you when you're down and out, he sounds like Ray Charles. or with Traffic, Dear Mr. Fantasy
Following Stevie Winwood's career is a worthwhile endeavor.
Hey Pope, you are evolving man , like I knew you would. Zepp, the Floyd , Genesis (spot on ) but there is more out there......like Traffic, CSN&Y, Steely Dan , King Crimson, Moody Blues etc....keep looking and keep listening. Peace & love :)
One of my favorite traffic songs Ty Awsome 😊
"The album cover..is it moving"?😂 It was moving in the 1970's cause many of us did acid and listened to this album.
I have this on reel (reel to reel)! Google that! Lol!
Another album that was a must have back in the day
I'm so glad you did this reaction! It's been a LONG time since I've listened to this. My musical tastes have changed over the years but this is still as awesome as ever! So again, THANK YOU!
Steve Winwood and Jim Cappaldi wrote some incredible music beginning with Dear Mr Fantasy when Winwood was 17 years old. I encourage you to dive down that rabbit hole! 😁
This is such a jazzy rock classic. This was really early in the Prog Rock/Fusion/Jazz development. Stunning, even today.
Traffic is such an awesome band! Hope you also liked Revolver by the Beatles.
Oh my days, Traffic are such a great band. Stevie Winwood is such a huge talent
This is so great stuff…go down the Steve Winwood rabbit hole and be amazed…
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
👍❤🤙
Chris Wood on the saxophone
For me he is the signature sound of Traffic!
And the cover artwork!
The original Lp had the corners cut off
It's a cube, you can view it from above or below
It's a bit of a mindf*ck , pretty Incredible!!...
"Walking in the Wind", "Memories of a Rock n Rolla", "Pearly Queen", "Empty Pages." Just some more Traffic suggestions.
Steve Winwood is such a show off lol.
If you haven't, now go listen to him playing psychedelic electric guitar lead in Dear Mr Fantasy. Then listen to him noodling around with Eric Clapton (Blind Faith) in duel acoustic leads in Can't Find My Way Home. And that voice too.
The guy had a lot to show off.
That really high squealing instrument was an organ played through a fuzz box, according to Steve Winwood. Amazing sound.
Have you met Janice Joplin yet? If not, oh my, you’re in for a treat. Ball and Chain at the Monterey Pop Festival! Epic!
My memory is not as well it's not as good it used to be but you know I the guy singing Stevie Winwood I think he was in a band with Eric Clapton called Blind Faith
Pope! I think your way behind in birth years to the music that we watch you experience. It goes through you, as I've said before (maybe from one of the YES songs). You should've been born in mid 50s to mid 60s. That's your wheelhouse. Have you reacted to any Motown?
Historic fact: High heels were brought into fashion by King Louis XIV of France. He was short and had his shoes elevated so no one would be taller than him and a fashion was born.
This song changed my life, and I was a Musician ever after, and will now be until I die.
If you want more incredible Winwood, give a listen to the collaboration he did with the Japanese percussionist on Stomu Yamashita’s GO (1976). It needs to be the original album, not the video of the concert.
That last note that Steve hits and holds till the song fades out gives me the same feeling that you prob got when you winched your eyes closed. Haunting note that closes the song perfectly.
Just one of the great bands from the era...If you put the year this was dropped; (71)-- every artist had something great...We were bombarded by great music...66-79 is ten lifetimes of THE best music ever produced...
Steve Winwood is a musical genius ... So many reaction-worthy songs to hit. "Dear Mr. Fantasy", "John Barleycorn", "Rainmaker" ... dig deep!
If it sounded like a saxophone, it was. The thing that sounded a circular saw married to an organ, was an organ, with a pretty imaginative bit of modulation. That was also Steve Winwood.
I've watched so many Reactions from you and many others.Out of 50 ive seen.Ur The Best.Alot of music to take in in a short period.YEARS.Take a break and let your head heal and get back into it .Can't happen overnight. Ur the best(very special video)
Traffic has a fantastic catalog of songs. Enjoy
Sharing your video just because it's cool to see your reaction to this 50 year old song. Traffic is one of those bands with an unmistakable sound all their own. Lucky I got to see them in about 1975.
Give “Dealer” a listen.
Greatest jazz-rock jam song of all time!!!!!!!
I'm a 60 year old white OG. I really enjoy watching you be entertained with what we grew up with. Continue to be MESMERIZED by the culture of the 60's and 70's and also Thank you!!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Low spark is injection (shooting up) high heeled is a speedball. Drug dealers and over dosing. That’s the 70’s for ya!
I suggest "Can't Find My Way Home" and "Mr Fantasy"
ruclips.net/video/oqkopU06lpw/видео.html mr.fantasy reaction!
I believe that the sound you are referring to as you being unsure wether it was a saxophone or not is actually a keyboard of some sort. There is saxophone in this as well, but when it is played it has the saxophone sound we are all accustomed to.
I remember first hearing this on a jazz station. It followed Take 5 if I remember right...a long time ago.
The main soloing instrument was Steve Winwood on Hammond organ ... really over-driven to sound sax-like. Kinda similar to the way Keith Emerson of ELP sometimes did. There are shorts breaks with Chris Wood on tenor, too. Great that you are reacting to the 'good ol' stuff'.
This is what you call " Progressive Music"
Masterful
Great Choice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Empty Pages is also a great Traffic song, it's more of an upbeat instrumental sound, it's awesome.
Fantastic band.
Yet another Steve Winwood band...Blind Faith....I'll go for a deep cut "Do What You Like" but "Can't Find My Way Home" is a must....
Can’t Find My Way Home
Check out Baker street by Gerry Rafferty if you like the sax.
thats when you can actually call that music and not noise
you pick uo on the clapping as soon as it starts.
You (and ur listeners) i'm sure would like ur rxn to "Dream Gerrard" another amazing Traffic tune.
The sax makes this song.
It was an Oboe!
Great band, great song!
Great choice!
One reason for joining your Patreon now is that there is a much better chance of your requests getting played, and/or ideas being implemented. I think I was around number 5 or 6.
This song was one you'd hear at parties or gatherings, but never on the radio. Many of the best songs were such animals. I still remember the very moment when I heard this song and realized it was long and cool, just like me.
Great success on your Patreon. Bargain and a half. Peace. db
Another good album for 70's sax is Santana's Borboletta. Steamy, and raw.
From Traffic I would recommend the songs 'Dream Gerrard' 'Paper Sun' "Coloured Rain' 'Glad' "Medicated Goo' "No Face No name No Number'.
T-REX there is someone to check out.
Beyond bangers !
One of those songs that you need smoke a fattie beforehand. 💕
Yeah this was Stevie Winwood in his Hay Day and they had a great band to back him up he was also the guy who was with Eric Clapton and they did a group it was kind of like called the first super group Blind Faith and that whole album is awesome you got Ginger Baker on drums you know he was such a badass
Can you listen to Paperback Writer and Rain by the Beatles! Thank you 🙏
Based on your Patreon of having tracked Revolver, you've already heard my favorite Beatles song: "Tomorrow Never Knows." Read the story about that track. Truly amazing!
its all drug reference, heroin cocaine cocktail
The song is written about the rich record company execs making a fortune off of the musicians. For a while they made all the money while the artists got nothing
Yeahhh man, classic Steve Winwood
Yet another great track from the 70s...there are just so many, it's truly incredible.
I've mentioned them once before but there is a band named Renaissance that has some really great tracks from the 70s. They are progressive and do utilize orchestral motifs in a lot of their songs. The vocalist Annie Haslam is something special and the musicianship is very high. They DO NOT BLOCK either. Not sure how long of a track you're willing to listen to but their version of "Ashes are Burning" from their Live at Carnegie Hall album from 1976 will be a great one. It's over 20 minutes but so worth it. If you'd like something shorter try "Can You Understand?" from their album 'Turn of the Cards'.
My favorite track is Scherazade
Over the Target , yet again .
Their live Album covers this and many more : Traffic...On The Road .
Long on the extended jams .
Yeah I'm not sure about it it might have been you know the sex run through electrical you know some sort of a thing or I might have just been a keyboard but I love that ending that last cord which was not in the key of the song which that really makes it man that's just yeah once you hear the live version you know here they end a lot of songs and they use the wrong cord and the song which is so cool man
Hey my man I think what they meant is back in the early seventies they used to wear these big platform shoes all the rock stars and I think that's what they're talking about you know the guys who were the agents or who ran the record companies stealing all the money but yeah maybe they had a little metal on there bottom of their shoes and but you know the whole thing is the guy was being greedy and yeah so it was the gun that killed him but the vet what it really was was the The Rock and Roll scene had killed him all right excellent drop there buddy
Old guy comment here: yeah, an Era when there were real, adventurous, musicians. Any wonder Neil went to London?
Pretty dissonant at the end. If you're using ear buds/headphones, it can be intense.
symphony x the divine wings of tragedy next^^
Ear Candy
All the people wore high platform shoes women wore high heeled platforms. I think the spark was style and influence
Oh please I ask you to skip over King Crimson. And go headlong into Jimi's Axis Bold As Love.
You're going to love this song bro you got to try and find the live version it's even better
Platform shoes totally 1970s
smoke some good shit then lisen to this
It is about heroin "silent gun" boys = speedball, man in a suit = dealer making $$ of your dreams lowspark = felling from the drug.
I think it's heroin.
Music industry
Ye tried to tell us.
Finally you got to this👍 this is one my own, and my wife’s favorites! One of their bests! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 This always felt like an anthem about the British Invasion!🤷🏻♂️ The Beatles started the trend of wearing English riding boots. They had like a (cowboy heel) for riding, hence “The low Spark of High Heeled Boys. 👋
