A great performance. Clapton is so memorable. The next video that followed was Low Spark of Hi Heeled Boys, and the one that followed that was Allman with Whipping post. A very nice interlude!

His voice and guitar is beautiful. I've been having fun playing John Barleycorn the last week then found this old French worship song:

Now The Green Blade Riseth, Steve Winwood

Very interesting sounds. And I like the dual-use shot gun.

I love Low Spark of High Heel Boys. But to this day I have no idea what that song is about. One of these days I should look up the lyrics I suppose.

ELO - haven’t listened to them in a while. One of my favorites from high school.

Here's the lyrics. I think the song is somewhere around exploitation and drugs. And there's a link to what others think it was about. There's different opinions.

"The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys"

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
And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound
Of the low spark of high-heeled boys

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

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 sim'lar as this?
Don't worry too much it'll happen to you
As sure as your sorrows are joys
And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound
Of the low spark of high-heeled boys

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

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

What is the meaning of the Traffic song, "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys?"

Glen and Wariner doing Galveston. Both of them clean picking the daylights out of that song. God Bless Jimmy Webb.
