Traffic - Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys Pt 1



Uploaded by: boatman1953
Video Description:
Classic rock performance live at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in 1972. I have the entire DVD but this song still stands out after all these years. I wonder how many of you know who (or what) Winwood is refering to in this song?

It's not hard to tell what the whole song is about if you listen to the lyrics. But what, exactly, is the "Low Spark", and is it different in "High Heeled Boys" (by which I presume he's referring to the stupid fashions musicians wore then rather than, say, trannies) than in other people? and something in the back of my head is whispering "it's cocaine, you fool" but one thing we learned in the Sixties is that ANYTHING can be a drug metaphor if you look hard enough for drug metaphors.

One of the few muscians who understand that less truly is more. Knowing when notes need to breathe, knowing when NOT to play; that's real genius. And Steve Winwood/Traffic are ate up with it.

What this song is about is what happens when you get a clear picture of your reality and realize that no matter what you do there is always someone who will label you and package you and sell you. "And the man in suit has just bought a new car from the profit he's made on your dreams"

Well, I've never been able to figure out this song. Something about money, something about death (wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest). If it was a little later in history, I'd say AIDS, but I don't think that's it. ???

Low spark of "high heeled noise" was
a very scary story printed in Creepy Magazine
in the 70's with air brush art by Rich Corbin.
If any of you have acces to that magazine
you might want to give it a look and compare to the lyrics, I believe I remember a law suit or something connected to it back then.
For what it's worth...

I can't remember where I heard this, but the "high heeled boys" are supposedly pimps.

The fashion for hipsters and young record producers at this time was to wear vinyl shoes with high heels and squared toes. Traffic was having its treasure trove of songs stolen by their record company. I read the heroin guy's comment, and, hey, maybe ... but I always thought it was about Winwood's fight with his record company and the low sparks (inspriation) of their high-heeled boys.
